Anaheim Union Water Company No. 3, on the lake property but along the south ledge, is the new location, and offsetting it will be Vejar No. 2, one location east of Vejar No. 1, now on production. The third well is on a new lease, to be known as Sun-Crail-Locke No. 1. The property is owned by Rosa Yorba Locke, who leased it a year ago to Los Angeles men headed by Judge Crail. The Standard recently took over the lease and will develop the property. The Standard has also occurred the lease on the Erolinda Yorba ranch, which adjoins Yorba Linda lake on the south. It will be developed later. Machinery is being placed in the derrick for the first well east of Yorba Linda, the Yorba Linda Water Company No. 1. The well is expected to be ready to spud in about Jeffrey, Who Voted in Favor of It When First Presented, Changes Attitude and Lines Up With Schumacher and Mitchell; Schumacher Suggests All Cities Share Money; May Be Considered at Meeting SANTA ANA'S contention that it was entitled to a one-fifth share in the county's gasoline tax fund was squelched Tuesday, when the board of supervisors denied the claim by a vote of 3 to 2. Some weeks ago, the matter came up, when Santa Ana put in a claim for $10,000, and the vote in favor of allowing the claim stood 3 to 2. Chairman Schumacher, however, blocked the appropriation by pulling the statute book on the assembled company, which showed that it required a 4 to 1 vote of the board to divert money from the county fund to a municipality. Not satisfied with this, suit was brought through a taxpayer to test the validity of the law, and a long-drawn out contest was looked for, as it was expected the matter would be carried up to the supreme court, but the vote of 3 to 2 against the appropriation settles all disputes. Supervisor Jeffrey, who voted for the appropriation when it first came up, voted against it Tuesday. Supervisor S. H. Finley, Santa Ana, of the first district, and Supervisor Willard Smith, Orange, of the fourth district, resisted the action, but were outvoted by Supervisors J. G. Mitchell, of the second district; George Jeffrey, of the fifth district, and Chairman William Schumacher, of the third district. The vote came after Finley, supported by Smith, had made a vain fight for the right to say where the first district's share of the money should be spent, even though it would not be spent in Santa Ana, but in the districts of the other supervisors. This right was refused by the majority. The outcome of the controversy over division of the gasoline tax, which has been waged between the members of the board for several months, may be changed, however, as the result of a compromise suggested by Chairman Schumacher. Schumacher proposed that a portion of the gasoline tax—probably 20 per cent—be allotted to the cities of the county, the plan being to distribute that 20 per cent between the various cities on a basis of automobile registration. Supervisors Finley and Smith agreed that the suggestion was fair. They tried to have it adopted at once, but the motion to divide the money "four ways" had already been placed before the meeting and Schumacher declined to halt the vote. He stated that if the compromise proposal was agreed upon, the plan of dividing the money between four districts could be withdrawn. It was expected that an effort to have Schumacher's proposal substituted to be known as Sun-Crall-Locke No. 1. The property is owned by Rosa Yorba Locke, who leased it a year ago to Los Angeles men headed by Judge Crail. The Standard recently took over the lease and will develop the property. The Standard has also occurred the lease on the Erolinda Yorba ranch, which adjoins Yorba Linda lake on the south. It will be developed later. Machinery is being placed in the derrick for the first well east of Yorba Linda, the Yorba Linda Water Company No. 1. The well is expected to be ready to spud in about June 25. Berry and Todd, after four attempts to shut off bottom water in the Thurston No. 1 well, are drilling ahead and plan to go after a deeper sand. The well picked up a nice looking sand around 3500 feet with a high gas pressure, but the bottom water could not be shut off and a test of the well could not be made. Mitchell Declines to Act on Petition Official Holds Un Formation of Harbor High School No action will be taken by R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools, on petitions filed by residents of the Costa Mesa. Newport Beach and Paularino grammar school districts, requesting the organization of an independent and separate union high school district. Superintendent Mitchell takes the stand that there are no provisions in the California school law whereby grammar school districts, forming part of a city high school district, can withdraw for the purpose of organizing a separate high school district. It was learned, however, that a communication will be addressed to the district attorney's office, advising that office of the receipt of the petitions, and at the same time requesting information as to procedure. Stress was held on the fast that there is no desire on the part of the county superintendent's office to oppose the request of the petitioners, but that its action is governed by law. Coupled with this announcement, it was rumored that the petitioners are contemplating the advisability of employing legal counsel with a view to take the matter to the courts for a decision as to the applicability of sections of the school law relating to formation of high school districts. who pay a third of the entire gasoline tax of the county, should have the right to say where their share of the money shall be spent in the other districts," said Finley. Schumacher refused to concede this right. "It doesn't matter where the money is spent in the other districts, it can't help helping Santa Ana," he argued. Finley and Smith both disagreed.

The Anaheim Co-Association, Anaheim distributing house ops basis, is not expecting first pool shipments u Supervisors Finley and Smith agreed that the suggestion was fair. They tried to have it adopted at once, but the motion to divide the money "four ways" had already been placed before the meeting and Schumacher declined to halt the vote. He stated that if the compromise proposal was agreed upon, the plan of dividing the money between four districts could be withdrawn. It was expected that an effort to have Schumacher's proposal substituted for the plan adopted would be made next Tuesday, hope being expressed that the chairman's suggestion would permanently iron out the factional strife over road money that has disturbed the harmony of the board during the last few weeks. Schumacher made his proposal after Finley and Smith had protested and argued against what they appeared to consider a "grab" of the first district's share of the funds. There are just two fair ways of dividing this money," declared the chairman. "Either spend it all on county roads and do not give any city anything, or else set apart a portion of the money for the cities and distribute that portion equitably among the cities, according to automobile registration or some other fair basis. "That will place Santa Ana in a better position that it has ever been. It will probably give Santa Ana more money than the five cities in my district combined—but no matter. I have been accused and misrepresented by the newspapers as trying to discriminate against Santa Ana, but that is not true. All I want is fair play. I do not want to discriminate against Santa Ana—nor the other cities." Schumacher refused to admit that the plan of dividing the money "four ways" would not be fair. He argued that the first district, comprised entirely by the city of Santa Ana, had no county roads and therefore would not be entitled to share in the gasoline tax funds if they were spent entirely on county roads. But Finley attacked this attitude. "I am not claiming the right to spend my district's share in Santa Ana, but I do claim that the people of Santa Ana, who pay a third of the entire gasoline tax of the county, should have the right to say where their share of the money shall be spent in the other districts," said Finley. Schumacher refused to concede this right. "It doesn't matter where the money is spent in the other districts, it can't help helping Santa Ana," he argued. Finley and Smith both disagreed. "When I spend my share of the money I am going to spend it to benefit the fourth district and the fourth district alone," said Smith. "If Santa Ana should get some benefit from it, I shall be pleased, but it will be an accident. I'll not be looking out for Santa Ana when I plan my expenditures, I assure you." "Nevertheless, you can't help benefitting Santa Ana, because every road in the county is used by Santa Ana people and by people going to Santa Ana," retorted Schumacher. Finley argued that a good many remote roads in the other districts had no relation whatever to Santa Anna, and that Santa Ana money spent on those roads would be wasted so far as Santa Ana was concerned. He insisted, anyway, that the principle of the thing was oppressive when the people of Santa Ana could not designate where their money should be spent, even thought not spent in the city. The debate arose when Supervisor Mitchell suggested that a project for widening Ocean avenue, west of Los Alamitos boulevard, in his district, be financed from the county good roads fund. Other members of the board contended that the money should come from Mitchell's share of the gasoline tax. The debate led into a discussion of the gasoline tax funds and their division, which touched old sores, and soon flared into the old controversy. It was settled when Mitchell moved that the money be divided into four portions, omitting the first district from consideration. Supervisor Jeffrey seconded the motion. In the intervening argument Chairman Schumacher made his proposal to allot a portion of the money to the cities, but the original wotion was carried through to a vote. McBride Anns Report o The statement prevailed County Superintendent J. L. McBride, in an crimsis of the auditing recently overhaulled orders was presented Tuesday and placed comment.

The trustees are George Miller, Emmanuel Bastady and Robert Bacon, the latter qualifying for office Saturday. A conference was held with county officials Tuesday and a tax levy asked for to take care of necessary work this summer. The trustees are ready to consider the various solutions offered by local residents to safeguard property endangered by storm water.

This money has not yet all been received and distributed among the growers, but that is the profit coming to the growers for the 120,000 boxes shipped, according to Manager W. H. Schureman. Facing difficulties offered by the unusual volume of fruit to be handled, the preponderance of small sizes picked and the competition offered early Valencias by late Navels and other competing fruits on the eastern markets, the association has been able to secure prices for its growers that have shown a material increase over last year. Manager Schureman said. The association marketed approximately 120,000 boxes of fruit in its first pool, which closed June 6, and up to Monday has placed a total of 161,865 boxes or approximately 404 carloads of the summer fruit on the rails for eastern markets, more than 50 per cent more fruit than was handled during the same period last year, he said. Good average quality of the fruit handled and generally favorable market conditions have been the factors offsetting the other unfavorable conditions in enabling the association to market its first crop of Valencias with such success. Valencias are dominating the fruit markets with little opposition from competing varieties and the second pool, which is now being shipped, is expected to be at least equally successful with the first. Mr. Schureman said. The second pool is to be a small one and is expected to be rounded out by July 1, he said. The Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association, Anaheim's other exchange house, is expected to round out its first pool of shipping early next week. Manager G. W. Sandilands reported, Good prices and excellent fruit quality has marked this period of shipping, Manager Sandilands declared. The Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association, Anaheim's other major distributing house operating on a pool basis, is not expecting to complete its first pool shipments until early in July. McBride Answers Report of Auditors The statement prepared by former County Superintendent of Highways J. L. McBride, in answer to the criticisms of the auditing committee which recently overhauled his books and records, was presented to the supervisors Tuesday and placed on file without office Saturday. A conference was held with county officials Tuesday and a tax levy asked for to take care of necessary work this summer. The trustees are ready to consider the various solutions offered by local residents to safeguard property endangered by storm water. Property included in the stormwater district extends from Magnolia avenue to the county line, and from the Santa Fe railroad to the Ball road, omitting the area near Stanton. The present trustees are qualified to hold office until July 1, 1928. Large Class Given Citizenship Papers Twenty-seven Allens Admitted in Judge Allen's Court Brief patriotic exercises were held by Daughters of the American Revolution Monday, when 27 allens were admitted to citizenship. The prized final papers were awarded to the following: Carl E. Lindstrom, Miss Helen Hansler, Louis Singer, Johan Frothius, Karl Augustus Lhdsey (Lindsemailer). Thomas E. Quine. Gottleib Wensel, Joset Wagner, Peter A. Fleischmann, Albert E. Quesryel, Mrs. Elizabeth M. Queyrel, Andres J. V. Jessen, Godfrey Lumaden, Catharina Pouplier, Paul Poullier, Karl Frisch, Remi Dejonghe, Abel Brunet, Demosthenes Bazyourous, Michael Schaffert, Gavin H. Baxter, Edward S. Rohta, Thomas W. Hallwell, Gustav Callena, Mrs. Mildred Purdy, Mrs. Frances L. McDonald and Mrs. Hilda B: F. Alger. The absent ones whose cases were continued to December, were William M. Wickett, Josef Dorman, Julia Keleman, Mrs. Ottille Henning, Zelma Janma, and Frank L. Freeman. Leonard G. Alvy's application was dismissed "without prejudice" so that he could file a new one and be examined next December. His witnesses' knowledge of his residence lacked one month of the required five years prior to the filing of his petition last fall. The one rejected candidate was Bozo Marko Turkovich, who it was said, claimed exemption in the draft. The 27 successful candidates, survivors of a class of 35, included 21 men and six women. These passed the examination of their knowledge of American government and history, and the rigid requirements of witnesses of residence and character. Of the remaining eight, six were absent, and will have another opportunity for admission with the next naturalization in December. A seventh would have been admitted, except that his witnesses missed by a month, requirement of having known him for five years prior to his application. He will be naturalized next December. Only one of the 35 was definitely rejected. That one had claimed exemption from the draft during the World war, on the ground that he was an alien. EXPECTED SOON County Peace Officers Accused of Receiving Huge Bribes for Closing Their Eyes When the Trucks Went Through; Millions of Dollars Worth of Booze Landed at Laguna, It Is Alleged; Get Big Rake Off ONE of the most gigantic rum-running rings in the United States has been unearthed by federal officials, and more than a dozen men are under arrest, some of them being peace officers of Orange county, who it is asserted, were partners in the enterprise, and got a rake off on all the stuff brought in. It is claimed by the federal officials that millions of dollars worth of liquor has been landed at Laguna Beach during the past two or three years; loaded in trucks there, and carried on to Los Angeles, and the officers reaped a rich harvest by keeping their eyes closed. New and startling revelations concerning the operations of the ring were uncovered by government agents, according to reports at prohibition headquarters. Agents it was learned, discovered that the Cornero-Finnebeck rum-gunring ring controlled a monopoly in Orange county. For this privilege it was reported they paid graft of $2.25 a case for every case of liquor landed on the Orange county shore. Of this sum, it is said, 25 cents went to A. J. Allen, owner of the Green Bay Inn, a resort near Laguna Beach, where small boats running in from the "mother ship" of the rum fleet, were given full protection. One dollar per case is said to have been paid to Frank E. Howell, deputy sheriff and Laguna Beach constable, who split this with Judge L. V. Murphy, justice of the peace at the beach city, and other Orange county officials. The other dollar it was reported was used to "grease the road"—buy protection after the liquor caravans, loaded at Laguna Beach, reached the Los Angeles county line on their way to the storehouses. An idea of the graft paid out can be had in the statement of dry agents that: "Between three and five landings were made each week since August, 1925. Each landing ran from 350 to 500 cases—and it is believed this figure can be multiplied by ten. This would mean taking the minimum figure of 350 cases to a landing, that 36,400 cases were landed. Multiply this by 10 and that will be about the right figure—360,400 cases were landed and carried overland into Los Angeles for sale there." The graft, at $2.25 a case, which has been paid out by the Cornero brothers—Tony and Frank—would reach the staggering sum of $819,000 of which $91,000 would have gone to the owners of property where liquor was landed; $364,000 to the Orange county officials who gave protection there; and another $644,000 to those who gave protection over McBride Answers Report of Auditors The statement prepared by former County Superintendent of Highways J. L. McBride, in answer to the criticisms of the auditing committee which recently overhauled his books and records, was presented to the supervisors Tuesday and placed on file without comment. The auditors had been engaged by the supervisors to examine the records and books of McBride and County Auditor W. C. Jerome. It accused them of carelessness, of inefficient management of the highway system, and of destroying records that should be kept on file. City Clerk Backs read the lengthy communication, also two communications from the Yorba Gravel Company, protesting against reference in the audit report to an alleged overpayment of more than $900 to the gravel company, as unjust and unfounded. When the clerk paused, after reading the letters, Schumacher directed him to proceed with other matters, "unless the board wished to discuss the communications." Anaheim Ball Team Defeats Santa Ana The last sad obsequies were said Wednesday over Santa Ana's chances for the championship of the Orange County Night Baseball League and they were getting ready to send Anaheim into the Southern California playoffs as representatives of this district, following the 4 to 3 setback suffered by the Santa Ana All-Stars on the Anaheim field Tuesday night. These preparations, while a bit premature perhaps, seem logical in view of circumstantial evidence which indicates strongly that no team in this league is going to beat Anaheim unless it is Santa Ana, and Santa Ana gets only one more shot, which isn't enough. Only a major reversal of form will prevent Anaheim from capturing the rag. The bid of the First National Bank of Anaheim, which included a premium of $1328, was accepted by the county supervisors for the $34,000 bond issue recently voted by Buena Park school district. Five bids were received, the other premiums offered being: Bayle brothers, $12; Pierce-Fair Company, $1047; Alvin H. Frank Company, $1002.80; U. S. National Bank, $976. Of the remaining eight, six were absent, and will have another opportunity for admission with the next naturalization in December. A seventh would have been admitted, except that his witnesses missed by a month, requirement of having known him for five years prior to his application. He will be naturalized next December. Only one of the 35 was definitely rejected. That one had claimed exemption from the draft during the World war, on the ground that he was an alien. When Examiner Dodge concluded his quiz of the applicants, Judge Allen ordered the oath administered, which service was performed by Clerk E. R. Abbey. The new citizens were sworn by groups, according to nationality, each group renouncing alliance to all foreign countries and particularly the country of which they had been subjects. Then Judge Allen addressed a few remarks to the class, giving them advice on their conduct as citizens. "You will find two good rules to follow through life," said the court. "One is to mind your own business; the other is to work. No citizen is fit to attend to the business of others until he can attend to his own. And work wards off trouble." The D. A. R. committee, headed by Miss Edith Thatcher, Santa Ana teacher, who is regent of the local chapter of the society, then presented flags to each new citizen and welcomed the class.

Ten Sunday evening services are to be held in the series, the first to be held the evening of July 3 and the last, September 4, it was decided. A different speaker is to be secured for each Sunday. Practically every congregation of the city is co-operating in the move. This year's series is expected to attract an increased number of Anaheim worshippers to participate in this unique community event. Dr. Benjamin S.

Part Anaheim Teachers Leave on Vacation Several of Them Going on Trip to European Countries Anaheim teachers are scattering to the four points of the compass to spend the few vacation months permitted them during the summer. Some of them are going to Europe and some are going to spend the vacation with the old folks at home. Yetta V. Alden, history teacher, and Minnie R.

Lova Holt, science teacher, and Miss Madelyn Conover, art instructor, are Disappeared From His Shack a Week Ago Tuesday, and Has Been Subject of Search Since; Russian Jew, Seen Near the Shack With a Shotgun, Under Suspicion and Being Sought by Sheriff of Orange County THE man had been murdered, according to officers. Part of his face had been blown away by a shotgun fired at close range. Schritz' teeth were blown out, part of his nose was gone, and there were powder burns on the face. With the finding of the body, Sheriff Jernigan ordered renewal of the search for a Russian Jew, known only as "Cocky," who was reported seen near the Schritz home early on the day Schritz disappeared with a shotgun in his hands. "Cocky" has been missing from his shack, a short distance from the Schritz shack, since last Tuesday. W. M. Robe, 67, partner of Schritz, was arrested on suspicion Thursday, when he reported Schritz missing. He said at that time that he believed Schritz was dead. He was released Saturday, when officers, after quizzing him, determined that he knew nothing of the whereabouts of Schritz. Following his release, Robe went home. Monday he was digging in the sandy soil around a hut that stands 30 feet from the Schritz shack, when his pick struck something solid beneath the surface of the ground. He dug into the earth and unearthed the body of Schritz. Robe immediately notified the sherriff's office and Sheriff Jernigan, with Officers Knight, Flower, Howard 'and McFadden, hurried to the scene, where Jernigan took charge of the body. Pending a coroner's inquest, Robe is being held in the county jail. Sheriff Jernigan said there was no charge against the man, and that he was holding him merely as a material witness for the inquest. It was Robe who told officers last week that the Russian Jew, known as "Cocky," had gone to Schritz' home last Tuesday morning with a shotgun. "Cocky" had explained the presence of the gun by saying that he was hunting for rabbits. Robe told officers that a short time afterward he had heard a shot, but thought nothing of it until he found that his friend and partner was missing. Officers have learned, they said, that "Cocky" borrowed the shotgun in Orange. Robbery was the motive for the crime.$40 in cash, known to have been on Schritz' person at the time the man disappeared, having been taken, officers said. It was through the finding of Schritz rifled pocketbook near his cabin last Thursday that officers secured their first clew. Schritz' blood-stained hat also was found.
