Last Thursday night was fixed as the date to hear protests from property owners, but not a voice was raised against the proposition; consequently, the board will set a time for receiving bids, and the work will be carried through as rapidly as possible. A bond issue of $32,000 was authorized to pay for the ground condemned for widening Palm street. The city clerk was instructed to advertise for bids, the same to be opened on March 24. They will bear 7 per cent interest and mature in 12 years. Planting of shade trees in the curbings is the first move made by the city planning commission toward beautifying the city. It is proposed to carry this work through the length and breadth of the city, but the first district to be planted to trees under the direction of the city planning commission, as designated Thursday night, will be North Los Angeles street from Adele to La Palma, South Los Angeles street from Santa Ana to Vermont, Broadway from East to Thalia streets. The commission was ordered to prepare plans and specifications and to outline the proposed territory to be included in this district, together with the estimated cost. The report of O. E. Steward, maintenance engineer on units Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 5, of the joint outfall sewer system, was read and accepted. The average flow of sewage for the month of February could only be estimated, owing to the disruption of the water meter system by recent storms, the report stated. Expenditures were based on this estimate and were apportioned as follows: Anaheim $21.47; Fullerton $20.75; Orange $20.40; Placentia $3.28; Garden Grove $3.37; and La Haba $5.63. Expenses of operating the municipal government during the month of February were $28,184.08, according to the comptroller's report, which was read and approved. Receipts of the public service department during February were: light, $12,054.30; water, $3524.65; power, $2041.85; total, $17,620.80. Demands against the city, approved by the finance committee, were ordered paid by warrants. These demands totaling $24,478.19, were apportioned $22,068.77 to the general fund, $4091.92 to the improvement fund, and $317.50 to the redemption fund. Owing to dilatoriness on the part of many light, water and power consumers, who allow their monthly bills to become delinquent, which is an aggravation to the comptroller and his assistants, a new ordinance was introduced which will remedy this situation, it is believed. The new ordinance amends section 14 of ordinance 476, which created the public service department in place of the old rate and light department. Under the proposed amendment meter users, whether light, water or power, will have to deposit with the comptroller a forfeit fee of not less than the amount of two months' service (to be estimated by the department), and it especially stipulates that the sum shall not be less than $2.50 for each account. Under the system now in vogue in the department, meter readings are Old-Time Resident Victim of Accident Oscar H. Renner Succumbs to Injuries in Explosion Oscar H. Renner, one of the oldest and best known residents of this city, died at the Anaheim sanitarium Friday evening as the result of injuries received several days previously by the explosion of a gas stove at his residence on South Los Angeles street. Following the explosion, he was rushed to the sanitarium. Although severely burned, it was not believed, after an examination, that his injuries would prove fatal, but owing to his advanced age, being 81 years old, he was not able to withstand the shock, and passed away Friday evening. Mr. Renner was the father of O. H. Renner Jr., one of the proprietors of the S. Q. R. store, of W. E. Renner, owner of Renner's grocery store and of Arthur L. Renner of Long Beach. His wife has been dead for some years. Mr. Renner was born in Germany and learned the cabinet making trade there. He came to America when a young man, locating first in Michigan, but 41 years ago moved to Anaheim and engaged in the business for which he had been trained. Twenty years ago he quit business and has been living a retired life since. His untimely death coming suddenly as a result of an accident while in the enjoyment of good health, was a shock to his wide circle of friends. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the chapel of Backs, Terry & Campbell, Rev F. Brinkmeyer, pastor of the German Methodist church, officiating. The remains were laid to rest in the family plot in Anaheim cemetery.

Under the system now in vogue in the department, meter readings are made daily and bills are due immediately upon receipt and are delinquent 15 days from that date. Under the new provisions the consumer's deposit will be tapped to cover failure to pay bills within the time limit. City officials assert consumers have been lax in paying bills under the present system and for that reason the new method is to be provided to protect the department against loss. Whimsicalities of Speech A bizarre announcer speaks of King Alphonso's illness and says, "The king is suffering from a congenial disorder." As if a prompter go busy, he immediately exclaims, "Correction, correction, please! The king is suffering from a congenital disorder, not a congenial disorder." One imagines that he hears titters coming over the air. This same gentleman recently spoke of the return of the fleet from the "Anti-podes," omitting a syllable and erroneously accending the last instead of the second in the correctly pronounced word. He also spoke of the "Om-ni-po-tent," but will never get to heaven by that route. Corrections are admissible only when changes are to be made in a program already announced. But to cover up one's verbal infirmities, never! That is like stealing the livery of heaven to serve the devil in. "Congenial" disorders, "amitable" agreements, hastily "impoverished" hospitals, "expatiated" Japs! Good Lord deliver us!

He is studying pharmacy, and will soon get his diploma.

With three registered and fully experienced pharmacists on our staff, our customers may be assured of careful and dependable prescription service at all hours." George Henry announced. "All our friends are invited to avail themselves of the service we have to offer." RETURNED MISSIONARIES Mrs. T. S. Grimshaw entertained at a noon luncheon today in honor of Mrs. Amy Saxton Fulton, who, with her husband, Rev. George W. Fulton, have recently returned from Japan, where they spent 37 years in missionary work. They are at present in Pasadena, visiting with relatives. Mrs. Fulton is a former well-known resident of Anaheim, where she lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E.-A. Saxton, their home being on West street. Mrs. Fulton will be accompanied by her two sisters, and will remain for several days. During their stay here the ladies will be the guests of Mrs. L. E. Miller and Mrs. Grimshaw. This (Thursday) afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock, Mrs. Fulton will lecture at the Presbyterian church on her experiences in 37 years of missionary work in Japan. Supervisor Schur entertained no honour Ana, but could not have this money paid in palliatis in the case treated.

It is reported that it is said that the deal amounted to approximately $500,000. The leases which were sold were the Bradford lease, comprising 37 acres, on which there are six wells with five of them producing, the sixth one drilling, and the Hartwell lease of seven acres with one producing well and another rig going up. The location of the two leases is on the southwest edge of the Richfield district, the Standard lease being on the west and the Santa Fe lease on the east. The territory in which the two leases lie was opened up by the Chicksan Oil Company about two and a half years ago. The Chicksan Company retains leases in the Coyote district near Fullerton and in the Huntington Beach field, where wells will be drilled in the near future, no operations being in progress now. Honor to Schumacher MAKING PLANS FOR ANNUAL FESTIVAL COMMITTEES SELECTED TO STAGE BIG VALENCIA ORANGE SHOW Manager Reid Announces That Space for Exhibits Is in Demand, Nearly All the Feature Spaces Being Engaged; Motif for Decorations This Year to Be Taken From Fairy Tales and Mother Goose Rhymes PLANS for the next annual May festival in honor of King Valencia are already under way and making good progress, according to George W. Reid, Woman Halted After Chase by Traffic Police After keeping a good lead over her pursuers, who were in a Fullerton police car, Mrs. Marge E. Ruhnke of Los Angeles was finally overtaken by a car operated by Los Angeles police, Saturday morning on South Spadra road. The woman was traveling through Fullerton about 45 miles an hour, 6:20 o'clock in the morning, when local officers jumped into their car and gave chase. However, the lady "stepped on the pedal" and the local officers were unable to overtake her. As the lady reached Orangethorpe avenue she passed a car which contained three Los Angeles officers. When they heard the siren of the local police, they in turn put on a burst of speed and overtook the cars. The lady received the ticket from the local officers with a smile of chagrin on her face and exclaimed: "I was in a hurry to get to Tijuana to take in the races." Fiction and Error Honor to Schumacher The stand of Supervisor Schumacher of this district against making an appropriation of money from the state gasoline tax fund to the city of Santa Ana meets with cordial approval on the part of voters and taxpayers throughout this district. The law provides that this fund, which amounts to $300,000, shall be expended upon county roads not in municipalities. The state has voted, millions of dollars of road bonds, and this money is all apportioned to county roads. The gasoline tax fund is applied similarly to county roads. A provision in the law recites that if any of this money is to be applied upon streets within a municipality, it must have a four-fifths vote by the board of supervisors. At the meeting of the supervisors last week, members of the Santa Ana council appeared before the board and asked for an allotment of $10,000 from this fund, to be expended upon West First Street. At a meeting of the board held last year, it was voted to apportion Santa Ana $30,000, and of this sum $20,000 has already been paid to city. It was to request an allotment of the remaining $10,000 that the Santa Ana councilmen appeared before the board. They made the argument that as this appropriation of money had been promised by the board last year, the same should be turned over to them. Supervisor Schumacher announced himself as being opposed to making this appropriation. Supervisor Mitchell of the Second district is a new member of the board, and was of course not present when this allotment of money was made last year. He voted with Supervisor Schumacher to deny Santa Ana a further appropriation of money. Supervisor Jeffrey of the Fifth district voted in favor of the original appropriation last year and was merely keeping his promise to give Santa Ana the remainder of $20,000 originally promised. However, he announced that in future he would vote against any appropriation of money from this fund to Santa Ana. Supervisor Schumacher said that he entertained no hostility toward Santa Ana, but could not vote to let them have this money unless other municipalities in the county were similarly treated. None of them have asked for a cent, feeling that it would be a matter of love's labor lost to do so. Santa Ana alone has asked for money from this fund, and has been able to obtain Manager Reid Announces That Space for Exhibits Is In Demand, Nearly All the Feature Spaces Being Engaged; Motif for Decorations This Year to Be Taken From Fairy Tales and Mother Goose Rhymes PLANS for the next annual May festival in honor of King Valencia are already under way and making good progress, according to George W. Reid, manager of the show. At the Chamber of Commerce smoker, held at American Legion rooms, Thursday night, Mr. Reid announced that nearly all the spaces for feature displays had been spoken for, and already 35 spaces for industrial exhibits had been contracted. Considering that this has been a banner year for the Valencia grower, and that signs in the sky indicate that the coming year will be even more prosperous, it is believed that all persons connected with the great Valencian industry will feel disposed to loosen up and unite. In making this the greatest festival yet staged in honor of the king, The motif for decorations this year will be the most unique of any in the shows of former days. Fairy tales, the kind we used to love in our childhood days, will furnish ideas to the artists and Mother Goose rhymes will be drawn upon for characters and costumes. Expert artists who will have charge of the work can find unlimited material in these tales, and it is believed the decorations will be unique and beautiful. This motif is to be used by all the feature displays, as well as in the decorations of the great canvases. Committees for the orange show were announced by Manager Reid as follows: Publicity—H. E. W. Barnes, Lotus H. Loudon and George W. Reid, Industrial—R. J. Grange, Oscar Renner and George W. Reid, Automobile—Clyde Cromer, Sid McGraw and A. W. Franzen. Concession—F. A.

Three Old-Timers In Town Yesterday Two Arrived in 1868, One in 1872; All Hale and Hearty Harry Hanna was in town yesterday, on his way to his ranch at San Marcos, As the lady reached Orangethore avenue she passed a car which contained three Los Angeles officers. When they heard the siren of the local police, they in turn put on a burst of speed and overtook the cars. The lady received the ticket from the local officers with a smile of chagrin on her face and exclaimed: "I was in a hurry to get to Tijuana to take in the races." Fiction and Error A story entitled "Orso," by Henryk Slenkiewicz, the Polish author, appearing in a New York magazine, has been called to our attention by Mrs. H. H. Easton, who with other ladies of the Daughters of the American Revolution have had it up for perusal and consideration. To these good ladies, who have manifested some perplexity regarding its purpose, we say: Forget it, forget it; for it is unworthy of a single moment's thought. The author selects Anahilde as a setting for his story, but might just as well have chosen any point in France, Spain, or Italy, where the skies are blue and weather conditions somewhat like our own here in Southern California. It centers about two circus characters, Orso, the strong man, and Jenny, the beautiful maiden. Following brutal whipping at the hands of Hirsch, the circus manager, the two run away. Hirsch's hair draws blood from the back and shoulders of Orso, and as he sets about to apply the lash to Jenny, Orso turns on him in protection of the little girl. Hirsch calls for help; four employees of the circus hurriedly appear, and a battle royal is soon in progress. Orso bests his opponents and, taking Jenny by the hand, he sets out with her, leaving the town, crossing the cactus covered prairie and continuing on into the Santa Ana mountains—which do not appear upon our maps. Jenny becomes exhausted, and Orso picks her up and carries her. The two are attired in their circus tights. Orso continues in his flight, and long after nightfall sees a light in the distance and hears a dog barking. The place is found to be the home of a squatter, who provides food and shelter for them.Here they remain happily forever afterward. The story is the merest bit of bosh we ever saw. But if it in itself is not unbelievably ridiculous, the author's many errors concerning early happenings in Anaheim are such as to cause comment at least for his many inaccuracies. We quote a single sentence: "The day on which the juice from the last bunch of grapes is trampled out by the feet of Indians is generally celebrated by the advent of Hirsch's circus from Los Angeles." No juice of the grape was ever trampled out by the Indians who came here to labor during the grape picking season.Wine makers had crushers and presses operated by hand,and later by steam-power.Permapsthe author acquired his idea from the times of the Franciscan fathers，who a century before employed Indians in trampling the Three Old-Timers In Town Yesterday Two Arrived in 1868, One in 1872; All Hale and Hearty Harry Hanna was in town yesterday, on his way to his ranch at San Marcos, where he has a fine avocado grove and is raising turkeys extensively. He was just back from a trip to Lancaster, where he looked over that country. He met Supervisor Schumacher, whose ranch at Buena Park is not far from the original Hanfa ranch, south of town, where the Hanfa family located in 1868. He keeps in close touch with affairs here and notes many changes and improvements in recent years. He told of his first experience in smoking a cigar. It was a large perfecto, with a brilliant red band about it. He lighted it one evening and was soon filling the neighborhood with columns of smoke. Then something happened. He threw the cigar away. He was seated in his milk wagon, and rain was falling. He removed his hat and let the rain come down upon his fevered brow. He never smoked again. After meeting a number of old-timers, he proceeded on his way toward San Marcos. Charlie Stone came in from Orbala Linda a few minutes after he departed. Charlie came here with his family in 1858 and settled on Orangethorpe avenue. The two boys went to school together here in Anaheim. They have not met in more than thirty years. Charlie expressed regret at not being able to see his old-time friend. He is making his own life, but hopes to live 40 years yet. Ed Raaine came in a moment later. He was told the two other boys made their escape when they heard he was coming. He arrived with his family in 1872, and has lived in Orange county continuously ever since. He is the champlon amateur skater of Southern California. He enjoys the best of health, but says his neuritis is bothering him in the right shoulder. No juice of the grape was ever trampled out by the Indians who came here to labor during the grape picking season. Wine makers had crushers and presses, operated by hand, and later by steam-power. Perhaps the author acquired his idea from the times of the Franciscan fathers, who a century before employed Indians in trampling the juice from the grape. The time of arrival here of the circus had nothing to do with the close of the grape-picking season. They exhibited here whenever they arrived on the schedule of dates throughout the western country. More than that, none of these early shows possessed a menagerie. They were one-ring affairs, with not an elephant, or a giraffe in sight, nor were there any callopes. These remained for a later date, when the bi-horned, blood-sweating amphibious bovolopus and its associates appeared, together with the steam plano, playing not "Yankee Doodle," but shrieky compositions which jarred the ear and put the hearers' teeth on edge. When the author writes that people viewing these parades could look out of town and see the clusters of giant cacti in the plains beyond, he does not conform exactly to the truth, for the cacti were far away and the intervening willow hedges hid them from view. There never was such a circus manager as Hirsch, who lashed lions around the arena with a whip, and who applied the lash to his unfortunate employees. When the author states that the two lovers in their flight were in a country infested with pumas, he draws upon a very long bow. Further, there were no orange groves in the outlying sections where cacti predominated, and there never was a squatter in Santa Ana canyons, thrice to pick fruit from the stickers, quite inefficiently using the use?

Adolf H. Englehart, Divine Healer and Spiritualist, Accused of Alienating the Affections of Another's Wife ANNOUNCEMENT yesterday that Rev. Adolf H. Englehart, pastor of the first Christian Church of Divine Healing at Long Beach, had been arrested and was languishing in jail, charged with alienating the affections of another man's wife and causing her to file application for divorce, was received with much interest in Anaheim. Only a few months ago Rev. Englehart, who for some years had been a resident of Anaheim, packed up his household gods, dismantled the church he had founded here, and moved to Long Beach, where he established a new church, christening it the First Christian Church of Divine Healing. The church he founded here was called Anaheim Church of First Spiritualist. School Elections Friday, March 25 Three Vacancies on Two Boards, and Only Three Candidates March 25 will be election day in this School Elections Friday, March 25 Three Vacancies on Two Boards, and Only Three Candidates March 25 will be election day in this city, but indications are that it will pass off without the heated controversies and the hard-fought contests that have characterized our elections during the past few years. Two members of the high school board are to be elected that day, and vacancy on the grammar school board will be filled. But there will be no contest. Only three names will be printed on the ballots—just enough to fill the vacancies, and if some other man is put forward as a candidate his name must be written in, as the date for filling nomination papers has expired. For high school trustee, E. E. Smith and C. C. Reinert are the nominees. Mr. Smith is manager of the Bank of Italy, and has been a resident of Anaheim many years. He is one of the city's leading business men, and will be a valuable man on the board because of his wide experience. Mr. Reinert came here several years ago from East Dakota. He was a rancher and business man, but retired from active management of his affairs and came to Anaheim to spend the balance of his years in a comfortable climate. He has had previous experience on school boards and takes a great interest in school work. These men will take the seats now occupied by Henry M. Adams and Charles H. Mann. Having been members of the board for several years, these gentlemen think they have served long enough, and both declined nomination. The hold-over members of the board are Dr. J. W. Harpster, Ell A. Sparkes and Henry Ramm. Homer W. Lewis is the retiring member of the grammar school board and is the only nominee for the vacancy, consequently the vote for him will probably be unanimous—quite a contrast to the contest of a year ago. For convenience of the voters there will be two polling places in the grammar district. All persons living east of Los Angeles street will vote at the Central school, and all those living on the west side will vote at the Fremont building. For high school trustees all voters inside the city will vote at the high school building. Anaheim 'C' Five Southland Champs Anaheim high school holds the Class C (110-pound) basketball championship of Southern California, following its 6 to 4 victory over Inglewood in the much interest in Anaheim. Only a few months ago Rev. Englehart, who for some years had been a resident of Anaheim, packed up his household gods, dismantled the church he had founded here, and moved to Long Beach, where he established a new church, christening it the First Christian Church of Divine Healing. The church he founded here was called Anaheim Church of First Spiritualist. While here he preyed upon the weak and sick, claiming to have power from a divine source to heal by prayer and touch. There are no records of his having cured any of his dupes of disease, but there are many stories of his having profited financially by his system. One story is told of a devout follower mortgaging his home for $1500 and giving it to Englehart. Numerous other stories are told of his methods of hoodwinking the trusting members of his flock, but a large portion of his congregation finally got their eyes open and, as a consequence, he was forced to leave. According to reports of investigators at other points where he has operated, he was a German spy during the World war. He was arrested at Long Beach on a complaint filed by A. B. Crowley, a Porterville merchant, who charged that the preacher had induced his wife to desert him and apply for a divorce. Englehart is held in the Long Beach jail for investigation of a suspected felony. Crowley's story to the Long Beach police suggested the existence within the beach city of a widespread practice of Oriental mysticism. Crowley was extremely bitter toward the pastor. While the officers were making the arrest Crowley attacked Englehart. At the police headquarters Crowley pleaded with the officers to lock him in a cell with the pastor. When this was denied he sobbed, "I'm going to end it all." Drawing a large knife, he stabbed at his breast. Though the knife cut through his cloth, he was disarmed before he could injure himself. Police then placed Crowley in a cell to prevent him from carrying out his suicide threat. News of the unusual accusation against Englehart rapidly spread and literally shook the "healer"s' church, at 745 Elm avenue, Long Beach, to its foundation when Detective Sergeant Ralph Alyca and private detectives arrested Englehart in his pulpit in the midst of the afternoon services. The Porterville merchant told the officers that his wife went to Long Beach about four months ago, seeking a cure for a minor aliment. She sought out Englehart and he offered to heal her by "laying on hands." Since then, Mrs. Crowley has become private secretary to Englehart, it was stated. Crowley declared that he went to Long Beach about a month ago, after he had been served with divorce papers. "I have begged and pleaded with my wife to return home." Crowley told Anaheim ‘C’ Five Southland Champs Anaheim high school holds the Class C (110-pound) basketball championship of Southern California, following its 6 to 4 victory over Inglewood in the final match of the play-off round at Inglewood Friday night. Close and expert guarding featured the imbrogillo, only one field goal being registered by each side. The Anaheim midgets held their opponents scoreless until the last period. Captain Shaw, center, was the most dangerous Inglewood player. Shige-waka, little Japanese, starred for Anaheim, making four points. Ability to make free throws enabled Anaheim to triumph, Coach Sutherlin’s quintette converting four out of five of these shots, whereas Inglewood made but two out of nine attempts. Ana canyon. If there had been orange groves, the lovers would not have had to pick tuna, to assuage their thirst, from the cacti, filling their hands with stickers. More than that, tunas are quite inedible, anyhow. There are other absurdities in the story, but what’s the use? Stenklewicz came to Anaheim with Count Bozenta and Madame Modjeska, early in the '70s. They lived here for a year or more, when they went to San Francisco, where Modjeska, after weeks of importance, was given a try-out on the stage of the California theater. She electrified her audience, for she was probably, at the time, the world’s leading tragedienne. She was soon touring the United States and Europe in many leading characters. Stenklewicz wrote “Quo Vadis” and became famous, but his story about Orso and Jenny is bologna. It’s a jumble of nonsense. Mrs. Gerald Ward and her daughter, Mrs. Mable Coleman, drove over from Fontana and visited with friends and relatives in town. They intended driving to San Pedro to meet with other members of the family, but the sudden illness of Mrs. Coleman made it necessary for them to return home. A large family reunion will be held at the home on Sunday in honor of Mr. Ward’s seventy-first birthday. The Porterville merchant told the officers that his wife went to Long Beach about four months ago, seeking a cure for a minor alliment. She sought out Englehart and he offered to heal her by "laying on of hands." Since then, Mrs. Crowley has become private secretary to Englehart, it was stated. Crowley declared that he went to Long Beach about a month ago, after he had been served with divorce papers. "I have begged and pleaded with my wife to return home," Crowley told Detective Sergeant Alyea. "No pleading would bring her back to me. "I came to Long Beach and found her fascinated and hypotized by the magnetic personality of this man." Information has been obtained, according to the police, that Englehart, under the name of Adolph Englehart Von Henry, was long under the surveillance of federal officers during the war and eventually was arrested and imprisoned as a German spy. Additional evidence given the police by the National Spiritualistic Society was that Englehart was forced by his parishioners to leave Erie, Pa., Providence, R. I., and Anaheim, Cal., because of complaints regarding his actions. According to Crowley, women parishioners of Englehart’s church are compelled to remove their clothing and don “spiritual robes” to be worn during the pastor’s manual treatments. A petition in the possession of Detective Sergeant Alyea reveals that on January 27, last twelve of Engelhart’s congregation demanded the church trustees to request their pastor’s resignation, as he had "mistreated his trust both morally and financially."
