Tired business men and over-worked housewives threw off for a time the cares that oppress the day and went out into the streets to enjoy the Orange County Scouts in Revel With 'Spooks' The first spook hunt of the Orange county Boy Scouts held at Orange County Park was acclaimed a great success by people present. At 7:30 o'clock the official Scout whistle blew and announcement was made that a note from the "Witch of Skeleton Hollow" had been found telling how to find a great treasure that had been buried somewhere in the park. After following from note to note through the darkness, stumbling over trees and water, scattering the entire length of the park, the crew finally found a ghost, a goblin and a witch. The witch was hardest to find, but after she was found she led the way to the treasure, which consisted of several bushels of red apples. Then came the pumpkin rush. Twenty-one pumpkins weighing between 75 and 100 pounds each were placed in the middle of the field, and the Scouts were divided into two teams, one the "Pumpkin Eaters" and the other the "Pumpkin Smashers."

Grotesque and Picturesque Costumes Worn by Hundreds of Maskers—Big Harvest Home Motif Carried Through All the Decorations—Merchants Vie in Window Displays—Stroup-Barnes Receives First Prize. There was fun and frolic galore on the streets of Anaheim Friday night. Tired business men and over-worked housewives threw off for a time the cares that oppress the day and went out into the streets to enjoy the Halloween carnival staged by the Merchants and Manufacturers' Association. People from all sections of the country came in to see the parade and view the decorated windows, and it is estimated that at least 20,000 people lined the streets. The procession starled from the intersection of Center and Olive streets, and passed down Center, with Officer Marcus Andrade in the lead. This time Marcus was riding a milk white horse, an animal that had never before been under saddle and, although it was somewhat skittish, it behaved remarkably well, realizing the touch of a master hand on the reins. Marcus was assisted on either side by Mrs. John Eells and Miss Curtis, head nurse at the sanitarium, both ladies being mounted on coal black horses. Following the marshal, came the Crescent Creamery Company's band of 32 pieces, and members of the city government in automobiles came next. Musical organizations in the parade were the high school band, the Santa Ana American Legion drum corps, Lie-wellyn's orchestra, Rossman's Juvenile band and the Cinderella Dance Hall orchestra. Some of the entrees were attractive because of their artistry and some for their ludicrous appearance. One that attracted much attention was the Bebe Daniels car, entered by the California theatre. This was a decrepit Ford, with a limp in each of its four corners. Occasionally the rear wheels would jump several feet into the air at the imminent risk of turning turtle and burying the four occupants under a pile of junk. The judges awarded the prize for the most beautiful float to the Anaheim Bulletin. This prize was an auto robe donated by the J. C. Penney Company. Number 47, a Studebaker closed car, received the prize for the most beautiful decorated automobile; this was a pillow offered by the Stroup-Barnes Furniture Company. Number 49, entered by the Anaheim Creamery, received the prize for the best stunt; the prize was a box of candy donated by the Orange County Drug store. This stunt was an overgrown baby girl being towed along by its mother while it drank milk from a bottle. Number 48, a gayly decorated truck on which a number of beautiful young women, in appropriate costumes, won the ham and box of groceries given by Chaffee's store for the most comical park, the crew finally found a ghost, a goblin and a witch. The witch was hardest to find, but after she was found she led the way to the treasure, which consisted of several bushels of red apples. Then came the pumpkin rush. Twenty-one pumpkins weighing between 75 and 100 pounds each were placed in the middle of the field, and the Scouts were divided into two teams, one the "Pumpkin Eaters" and the other the "Pumpkin Smashers." After 15 minutes of grand and glorious fighting, the "Pumpkin Smashers" came off with 20 out of the 21 pumpkins safely cached away behind their goal line. Then came the campfire, with pie eating and apple bobbing. The campfire was closed by awarding Star badges to the following Scouts: Scout Virgil Brewster and Scout Wilbur Griffin of Huntington Beach troop No. 2, Scout Clarence Logue of La Habra troop No. 1, Scout William Friend of Santa Ana troop No. 10, Scout Herold Goddard of Orange troop No. 1 and Scout Alva Williams of Santa Ana troop No. 3. The frolie was closed with a short prayer. Flagg Wins Round In Court Action Western Directory Company Must File Complaint The court has no right to interfere nor intention of interfering, with competition between directory publishers in Santa Ana. An injunction that the Western Directory Company of Long Beach wants issued against A. G. Flagg would be granted only for the purpose of preventing misrepresentation. Such was the attitude taken late yesterday by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams in the directory war between the Long Beach firm and the Santa Ana publisher. At the same time, Judge Williams sustained a demurre to the injunction petition, and ordered the plaintiff to amend the complaint, which was held to be not specific as to the matters complained of. The Western Directory Company claims that Flagg used a copy of the Long Beach firm's 1925 directory in approaching advertising prospects for a 1926 directory. Unless Flagg deliberately and openly misrepresented that he was gathering advertising for the Long Beach company's directory, no injunction could or would be issued, Judge Williams said. A temporary injunction was denied, and unless misrepresentation is shown when the case comes to trial, there will be no permanent injunction either, the court said. Attorney L. A. West, representing Flagg, said that his client did not care to use a Long Beach directory in approaching advertisers, and cared nothing about that issue. He intimated that November 14th.

Rangel, 42, West SERVICE STATION OPERATORS HOLD INTERESTING MEETING Formation of a permanent organization, the aim of which will be to promote co-operation between the dealer and the motoring public, was the incentive of a meeting of more than 50 independent service station owners from all parts of Orange county in the Moose hall, in Santa Ana. A uniform closing hour, regulation of prices, more efficient service to the public and a general improvement of the service station business were outlined as some of the proposed achievements of the organization, which will be perfected within the near future. H.E. LeClair of Anaheim was chosen temporary chairman at the meeting. In addressing the meeting, LeClair urged that the members band together and agree to close their places of business at 7 o'clock in the evening. The hour of opening service stations will be left up to the owners. "We want to educate the motoring public to buy their gasoline and oil before 7 o'clock in the evening," said LeClair. "It stands to reason that no man can work 14 to 18 hours daily and give the best service to the public. "If we can get together on a closing hour we also will be able to cut down our overhead. We need more co-operation between the dealer and the customer. By organizing we will be able to eradicate the cutthroat methods that now are being employed by many of us. We can regulate prices and thus aid ourselves as well as our customers." Unless Flagg deliberately and openly misrepresented that he was gathering advertising for the Long Beach company’s directory, no injunction could or would be issued, Judge Williams said. A temporary injunction was denied, and unless misrepresentation is shown when the case comes to trial, there will be no permanent injunction either, the court said. Attorney L. A. West, representing Flagg, said that his client did not care to use a Long Beach directory in approaching advertisers, and cared nothing about that issue. He intimated that Flagg would not want to show the Long Beach directory as a sample of what he expected to publish himself.

AHAIM GAZETTE Anaheim, California, Thursday, November 5, 1925 HISTORY TO BE DEPICTED SCENES FROM THE DAYS OF THE PADRES AND DONS REPRODUCED IN FLOATS AND BY COSTUMED RIDERS Armistice Day Celebration Here to Surpass All Previous Efforts— Hundreds of Floats and Thousands of Marchers to Participate in the Great Parade At American Legion headquarters, in the City Hall building, it is announced that all the posts in the county are feverishly active in preparing the floats assigned to each for the great Armistice Day pageant in this city on Wednesday, November 11. This is the sixth celebration in commemoration of the day when the enemy threw down his arms and asked for quarter. Learning wisdom from experience, the boys have improved from year to year in staging their annual jubilee, and this year's celebration will far surpass anything that has gone before. The first section of this parade will be an historical pageant depicting various stages in the history of California from that memorable November, 152 years ago, when Gaspar Portola, Father Junipero Serra and 63 soldiers cut a pathway from San Diego mission to Anaheim. celebration a wonderful means of spreading the fame of Orange county, and for that reason have placed it on the same plane with the county fair and the Valencia Orange show in making up the annual budget. The board has appropriated $1500 to aid the event, and the city of Anaheim has added a $500 donation through its trustees. With an additional $1000 to be raised through other means, the success of the event has been assured and committees are busily engaged in planning the details of the many features to be offered to the thousands of visitors on that day. An effort has been made to spare the marchers the long bikes that have heretofore marked the annual parade, and this year those who participate will be pleasantly surprised at the route selected, which will cover the business section of the city without traveling until night, just as long as there is a hungry person in the city; a brilliant fashion show, a regularly sanctioned A. A. U. swimming meet, a football game between the Colorado and Arizona battleship eleven stations at San Pedro, and in the evening a grand ball at the palatial Elks' clubhouse. Perhaps the most important feature of the day's program is the historical pageant to be presented in the parade. This will be held in the morning, starting promptly at 10 o'clock, with the floats being judged previous to the starting hour. All floats are to be in position one hour before the parade moves. This pageant will present a picture-esque resume of the history of California, dating from its discovery at San Diego, in 1542, by Don Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, down through the different periods of transition to 1857, when the November 17. This is the last section in commemoration of the day when the enemy threw down his arms and asked for quarter. Learning wisdom from experience, the boys have improved from year to year in staging their annual jubilee, and this year's celebration will far surpass anything that has gone before. The first section of this parade will be an historical pageant depicting various stages in the history of California from that memorable November, 152 years ago, when Gaspar Portola, Father Junipero Serra and 63 soldiers cut a pathway from San Diego mission to San Francisco bay and named that path El Camino Real. Scenes from the most interesting periods in the state's history from that date down to the present time will be faithfully reproduced in floats and by equestrians. California history is rich in dramatic incidents, and it is promised that all worth-while will be reproduced in this pageant. In addition to the historical display, hundreds of floats and decorated vehicles will be entered by organizations, lodges, societies, civic bodies and business institutions. All sections of the county are viling in an endeavor to outstrip their neighbors and win the coveted blue ribbon. The most beautiful floats ever constructed in Orange county will be seen in this parade. It is estimated that at least 50,000 people will witness the parade. Ed Duffee, Santa Ana's famous chef, is in command of the barbecue squad, and announces that he is making ample provision to feed 25,000 hungry men, women and children. A Bayllas, chairman of the entertainment committee, announces that he has engaged nine bands, the best to be found in Southern California, to make music for the occasion. The day is going to be filled with events of interest. In the afternoon; Duke Kahanamoku of Honolulu, the world champion swimmer, will be in the plunge at the City Park and will endeavor to break the world's record for swift action.

The board of supervisors of Orange county recognize in the Armistice Day and the city of Anaheim has added a $500 donation through its trustees. With an additional $1000 to be raised through other means, the success of the event has been assured and committees are busily engaged in planning the details of the many features to be offered to the thousands of visitors on that day. An effort has been made to spare the marchers the long hikes that have heretofore marked the annual parade, and this year those who participate will be pleasantly surprised at the route selected, which will cover the business section of the city without traveling too great a distance. Besides the parade and special athletic features, a fashion show will be held during the afternoon, and in the evening a grand ball will be given in the palatial home of the Anaheim Elks Throughout the day those who prefer dancing may enjoy themselves without stint, for dancing will be in progress at the Concordia Club.

S. H. Finley, supervisor from the Santa Ana district, gave it as his opinion that the proposed Prado dam would not divert waters from Orange county to the Chino basin. Reciting that the supervisors had caused the survey to be made and conquered a $500 donation through its trustees.

In order to validate the legal advertising now appearing in our columns, this title page will carry Thursday as the day of publication, and the paper will be published late on Thursday afternoon. When this legal advertising shall have been completed,the title Sheriff's officers, led by Ed McClellan, chief criminal deputy, raided two places, confiscated two tanks, 20 gallons of alleged "white mule" and made two arrests in the Westminster and Delhi Mexican districts. Prusaillano Riseira, 29, arrested at his home at Delhi, where officers found approximately 10 gallons of alleged whiskey and a still, pleaded guilty to the charge of possession. In Justice Kenneth Morrison's court and was given a fine of $500. He did not pay the fine. M. Rangel, 42, Westminster resident, who was taken in charge by the officers when they paid his home a visit, uncovering a still of approximately 25 gallon capacity, together with 10 gallons of alleged "hootch," pleaded guilty, when arraigned before Justice Morrison.

FAREWELL RECEPTION A reception was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Victor D. Loly and their daughter, Miss Kathleen Loly, at the home of Rev. And Mrs. A. G. H. Bode, South Ohio street, on Friday evening.

Germans declare France has violated the Washington naval treaty by selling submarines to Poland and Roumania, but so long as they don't sell any to Switzerland the situation will not become serious. Declares It Will Not Divert Waters to Chino Basin In an address before the Associated Chambers of Commerce at Garden Grove, Thursday night, Col. S. H. Finley, supervisor from the Santa Ana district, gave it as his opinion that the proposed Prado dam would not divert waters from Orange county to the Chino basin. Reciting that the supervisors had caused the survey to be made and contemplated the dam improvement because they believed water conservation a project of the whole of the county, and because it was believed to be too large an undertaking for any individual community, Finley said that calling of a bond election had been delayed pending investigations of the river to be made under the appropriations by the state and by the counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino. He said that boring, to determine the depth of bedrock at the Prado location, was to be done by the state, and that the state engineer is reviewing the Lippincott report. Pointing out that the engineer originally submitted only four copies of his report, Finley said that there had been such demand for it that the supervisors had, had 12 additional copies printed. These, he said, had been distributed to the larger incorporated cities and to the irrigation companies so that they would be available to residents who wanted to study them. He urged everyone to read the report carefully. Recounting that when Ed Utt some years ago suggested a dam at Prado he was skeptical as to the possible success of such an enterprise, Finley said he had been convinced by Lippincott that it is feasible, and that stored water could not get into the Chino basin because the Chino basin is 250 feet higher than the river. Pointing to the necessity of Santa Ana and Orange county joining in the proposal to bring water into Southern California from the Colorado river, the supervisor said that Southern California is drawing on water stored 200 years ago, and that the water is being used faster than it is being conserved. Importation of Colorado river water, he said, was the solution to continued prosperity and growth of Orange county and Southern California. The Prado dam project, he said, would be of service if water from the Colorado river is brought into the county. "We are deeply concerned with a water supply from the outside, and no matter what it costs we will have to bring it here." Finley said in conclusion. Finley was named chairman of the conservation committee of the associated chambers, to fill the vacancy created by the removal to Chicago of Fred Ahlborn of Anaheim. Beginning next week, subscribers to The Gazette will receive their paper on Friday morning instead of on Thursday as heretofore. This change is made at the earnest request of many of our larger advertisers, who prefer a paper on Friday announcing their Saturday specials, rather than one published this day before. In order to validate the legal advertising now appearing in our columns, the title page will carry Thursday as the day of publication, and the paper will be published late on Thursday afternoon. When this legal advertising shall have been completed, the title page will carry Friday as the day of publication. Surveys have been completed and the resolution of intention is to be introduced to the supervisors in November for the building of a 32-mile macadam road which will cross Imperial valley from east to west, through Calexico and along the border, according to recent information received from the touring department of the club. The road is to be built under the road district improvement act, and the city of Culexico will join with ranchers in the adjoining territory in financing the work.

T ANAHEIM—YOUR CITY Founded by German Colonists, 1857 Assessed Value, 1925, $10,500,000 School System Valued at $951,000 CTED IN PAGEANT Garden Grove Negro Colony Is Proposed PLANS are under way for the establishment of another negro colony in Orange county. The site is near Garden Grove. According to information received from a reliable source, the new colony is being fostered by the same group which is establishing a negro summer resort on the beach between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach. That the land has already been purchased by Los Angeles agents, who are disposing of their interests to the colored people, was the declaration here today. The new colony is to be located northwest of Garden Grove, near the Pacific Electric tracks, it is said. Plans for a third exclusive colored colony, to be located between Santa Ana and Orange, are also under consideration by the local group, it is claimed. Workmen have been busy during the past several weeks erecting two new buildings for the colony here. The structures are of frame construction and will be finished in stucco. The bathhouse has been completed. CEMENT WORKER DIES AFTER A FIST FIGHT O. M. SCHNORF SUCCUMBS TO HEART FAILURE, AFTER TUSSLE Suffering From a Weak Heart, Over-exertion and Excitement Caused it to Cease Beating—Leaves Wife and Four Small Children—Inquest Held at Huddle’s Parlors Yesterday—Body Sent to Wyoming. Following a fish fight, in which he was struck on the jaw, O. M. Schnorf, 39 years old, a concrete worker, dropped dead shortly after 11 o’clock Monday, at the scene of the fight, 5 minutes after he battled with Leonard Hessel, 78 also a concrete worker who resides Greater Returns From Citrus Crop Northern Orange County Growers Get $8,000,000 for Crop In spite of the weather last fall, the total returns from citrus crops for this season in northern Orange county will be even greater than last, according to a statement made by Dale R. King, manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange. About $8,000,000 is the return this season, Mr. King said, while last year, the figure was $7,789,000. The cost of operating packing houses, the expense connected with both purchasing and selling the fruit as well as preparation for sale, must be deducted from this amount. Mr. King believes the natural balance of supply and demand which made the smaller crop sell for the higher figure, to be responsible for the advance in profit. The highest price paid for Valencias this season was $13.10 a box, according to figures in his office, the highest since 1918, when they sold for $16. For lemons this season the best price was $12.65. It is estimated here that the total crop this year, including both Valencia and navel oranges and lemons, is about two-thirds of that harvested last season. This data concerns about 20,000 acres in Fullerton, Placentia, Anaheim, La Habra and Yorba Linda districts. Harry Hanna was in town this week from San Marcos, and brings up information that 90 miles of pipe line have already been laid by the Vista irrigation district. Water will be ready for use by irrigators early in the spring. Orchards of avocados, oranges and lemons Suffering From a Weak Heart, Over-exertion and Excitement Caused it to Cease Beating—Leaves Wife and Four Small Children—Inquest Held at Huddle's Parlors Yesterday—Body Sent to Wyoming. Following a fish fight, in which he was struck on the jaw, O. M. Schnorf, 39, in Anaheim, a concrete worker, dropped dead shortly after 11 o'clock Monday, at the scene of the fight, 5 minutes after he battled with Leonard Hessel, 38, also a concrete worker who resides in Orange. Hessel and Schnorf are alleged to have fought on a lot just north of a new theater building, which is being erected on North Glassell street, Orange within two blocks of the plaza. Hessel surrendered to the sheriff's office and was taken to the district attorney's office, where he made a statement. He was released by District Attorney A. P. Nelson and told to appear at the coroner's inquest. Coroner Charles D. Brown stated that he had not set a time for the inquest; but that it probably would be held at an Anaheim funeral parlor. According to the statement made to the district attorney by Hessel, he and Schnorf were working together on a concrete mixer, when one of the cars which feeds the mixer suddenly ran off the track. Several men attempted to put it back on the track and, while working, Schnorf is alleged to have complained that he could not lift as much as two other men, who were attempting to lift the car from the other end. At this, Hessel is said to have called him a weakling. Schnorf took offense at this statement, and called Hessel names which he resented. He struck Schnorf on the jaw, it was said. The men clinched and fought for a while. They then parted and went about their work. Within five minutes after the encounter, Schnorf was seen to tumble to the ground and was dead when reached by other workmen. Rumors to the effect that Schnorf was known to have had a weak heart were heard at the scene of the fight, but this was not verified by Coroner Brown, he said. The body of Schnorf was brought to the Huddle funeral parlors, in this city, where Coroner Brown held an inquest yesterday evening. While Hessel was not held as a prisoner, he was instructed to appear at the inquest and give testimony in the case. Officers are not disposed to lay any blame on Hessel for the man's death, as it is apparent his heart failed him because of overexertion in his tussle with Hessel and from excitement. The blow he received was of little consequence and not sufficient to cause injury. Schnorf's body will be sent to Sheridan, Wyo., for burial. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Cora Schnorf, four children, Frances, 9; Vernon, 7; Milred, 5; and William, 2. A brother, G. O. Schnorf, and a sister, Mrs. Krana- YOUNG GIRL SERIOUSLY HURT IN AUTOMOBILE SMASHUP A 12-year-old girl, Lois Culp, daughter of L. O. Culp, vice-principal of the Fullerton Union high school, is in a critical condition in the Orange County hospital, and four other persons, all Mexicans, were injured in an automobile accident at Haster street and the extension of West Chapman avenue at 4:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The girl is suffering from a fractured skull, a broken shoulder and severe bruises and cuts about the body. She spent a restful night, however, and physicians early today held hope for her recovery. Mrs. Manuel Avalos, Mrs. Crensio Rodriguez and two Rodriguez children received severe cuts and bruises in the accident. They also were treated in the Orange County hospital and later removed to their home at El Modena. According to the story of the accident, told by Culp, who was driving home with his daughter, his car was struck almost in the center by the automobile driven by Rodriguez, causing the Culp machine to turn over. He was going south on Haster street at the time, he said, and the Rodriguez machine was traveling east on Chapman avenue. He said he was driving at a slow rate of speed and that his car was in first gear at the time of the accident; that he looked both ways at the intersection, but saw no car approaching. Culp declared that the driver of the other machine, in an attempt to avoid a collision, swerved to the right, but that it was too late to avoid the smash. The Culps live two miles southeast of Garden Grove.
