ANAHEIM GAZETTE Riley Gets Details Of New Relief Act Law Becomes Effective on the First Day of August Details of the practical workings of Assembly Bill No. 185, providing treatment for crippled children, which becomes law on August 1, are set forth in a communication received by Harry D. Riley, Anaheim president of the Crippled Children's Relief Association, from the California Society for Crippled children, with offices in San Francisco. According to this communication, the state board of health is authorized to arrange through local agencies for public diagnostic clinics, in which connection the state board is further requested to co-operate with the board of supervisors of the various counties, and the state department of public welfare in making use of all existing hospital facilities. The bill, as enacted into law, carries an appropriation of $20,000 for administrative purposes covering a period of two years and the use of a $25,000 revolving fund from which the state board of health may authorize payment for care, etc. Attention is called to the fact that a per capita cost is to be charged back to the county in which the parents or legal guardians of the child reside. To finance the operations of the new bill, the county board of supervisors may levy a special tax which shall not exceed in any one year the sum of three mills on each dollar of the taxable property in the county. A letter from the California state board of health, forming a reply to a query addressed to that agency, states that at the present time no information is available as to the practical application of the new law. It intimates, however, that some time after the bill goes into effect such information will be available to interested parties. Names of Customers Found on Bootlegger Man Arrested at Orange Carried List of Regular Clients A list of "bootleg clients" numbering more than fifty names, some said to be prominent in Los Angeles official circles, was seized by Orange police with the arrest of T. J. Teller, 28, Los Angeles, on dual charges involving transportation and possession of illicit liquors. Teller, who, according to police, has been under surveillance for several months, was taken into custody by Motor Officer Horace Inge, assisted by Constable George Bartley, when he stepped into a machine parked on a downtown street. The car had been "spotted," according to the officers, who lay in wait until the owner appeared. Approximately ten gallons of asserted bootleg liquor were seized by the officers when they searched the machine. Teller disclaimed ownership of the rum car as well as the liquor, but authorities claim they possess evidence from Sacramento relating to the license number which links Teller's name with the confiscated machine. The asserted "customers' list," which the police say they found in Teller's possession, includes the names of more than fifty persons living in Orange, Santa Ana, Hollywood and Los Angeles. Some of the names are asserted to figure prominently in Los Angeles official life, while others are said to include those of persons in Orange and Santa Ana, who are purported to be regular patrons. Teller, who police claim started to flee when the officers approached, strongly denied his guilt, claiming the liquor machine did not belong to him. When arraigned before City Recorder G. W. Ingle, he pleaded not guilty, indicating he would fight the charges. His bond was fixed at $1000.

Planning to Test Alkali Reclamation By RAYMOND ELLIS, Assistant Farm Advisor With the announcement from the College of Agriculture that the black alkali plots on the Kearny vineyard tract at Fresno have finally been reclaimed to the point where they are producing a good crop of alfalfa, comes the question as to whether or not the system used there will work in all districts of the state. On the Fresno plots sulphur and ferrous sulphate both have good results, with the latter probably the best. In order to determine the effect of sulphur on our black alkali in this county, arrangements have just been completed to carry on some test plots in cooperation with Dick Haster of Garden Grove. The plots have already been treated with sulphur in varying amounts from 600 to 1400 pounds per acre, depending on the concentration of alkali. The sulphur was worked into the soil and will be allowed to stand in its present state for some three or four months. The field will then be bordered up and flooded in order to wash the salts out through the drainage lines. Providing the tests are successful, a crop of some sort will probably be grown next year. Dr. W. P. Kelly, who has been in charge of the Kearny vineyard work, in making his report, brought out five points which should be remembered by anyone who is contemplating this work. These points are: 1. Determine whether or not drainage facilities are ample. 2. Determine nature of soluble salts in soil. 3. Determine replaceable bases. 4. Determine quantity of calcium carbonate and sodium present. If former is small in amount and latter large, more calcium carbonate must be added. 5. Determine composition of irrigation water to be used. OUR NEW LAWS At the stroke of midnight tonight and for the next four days, 898 new state laws become effective in California. Approximately 830 of the laws go into operation Friday, and the rest are evenly divided among the next four days. Only once before in the last 20 years has the state had to assimilate so much new legislation at one time. That was in 1921, during the administration of Governor William D. Stephens, who signed 915 of the 1152 bills handed down to him by the legislature. From the public viewpoint, the most important of the new laws is the one that affects the pocketbooks of more than 1,200,000 motorists, the gasoline tax measure. This act increases the present two-cent gasoline tax one cent per gallon. With the $10,000,000 a year thus derived from the additional levy, the state of California expects to complete its highway building program in the next 12 years. Another law increases the speed limit on open highways from 35 miles to 40 miles an hour. There will be no more "marrying in haste" in California after tomorrow, for the new three-day marriage act goes into effect at once. This requires the prospective bride and bridegroom to declare their intentions of marrying three days before the license is granted. Under Governor Young's reorganization program, four new departments, industrial relations, natural resources, public health and social welfare, are added to the present departments of education, agriculture, finance, public works and institutions. The nine department heads will constitute the governor's "council." Other measures that have attracted widespread attention include the act raising the age of majority for women...

Heying's Pharmacy BRANCH TICKET OFFICE ORPHEUM CIRCUIT VAUDEVILLE Under Governor Young's reorganization program, four new departments, industrial relations, natural resources, public health and social welfare, are added to the present departments of education, agriculture, finance, public works and institutions. The nine department heads will constitute the governor's "council." Other measures that have attracted widespread attention include the act raising the age of majority for women fro m18 to 21; the new community property law, giving a wife a present vested interest in community property instead of an inherited interest; the alimony for husbands act; the anti-crime laws designed to curb criminals and speed up trials, the self-governing bar act and agricultural measures. FRAUD OIL EXPERTS The increased production of oil in Michigan has attracted the birds of prey. One of these claims to be an engineer and oil expert for the government. His method, however, is to offer his services to the landowner at the reasonable charge of $25, for which fee he promises to test the soil by a chemical or photographic process, thus determining whether or not oil underlies the farm which has put up the $25 fee. Inquiry at the geological survey in the department of the interior has of course brought out the fact that no such specialist has ever been connected with its staff as a geologist, nor does the geological survey know of any method by which the presence or absence of oil a few hundred or a few thousand feet beneath the surface can be determined by a test of the soil, chemically, photographically, or otherwise. Citizens of Michigan or any other state are justified in entertaining suspicions that this type of operator represents neither the government nor any responsible oil company. Mr. and Mrs. Dean Polhemus and family are spending the summer at their cottage on Balboa Island. Their daughter, Miss Evelyn Polhemus, who has been visiting in Los Angeles with her grandmother, Mrs. Emma Polhemus, has returned to Balboa. LOCAL BREVITIES The many friends of Mrs. Frank Welman of Fresno, who was formerly Miss Mae Polhemus of this city, will regret to learn that she has had the misfortune to fall and break her hip for the second time this year. She had recovered from the first accident sufficiently to be able to get about again when the second occurred, several weeks ago, while she was visiting at Carmel. She is at Fresno, at the home of her daughter, and is improving nicely. Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Quarton and Mrs. Lois Jewell and two children, Dick and Mary, left for Big Bear yesterday. They expect to remain until Monday. Superior Judge Homer G. Ames of Orange county has been ordered by the state judicial council to proceed to San Diego Monday to preside over extra sessions of the San Diego county superior court for two weeks, to aid in clearing away congestion. The San Diego court is reported to be 15 months behind its calendar. Two of the three Orange county judges have been assigned to duty on other counties this month. Judge James L. Allen has been holding court in San Francisco since July 18. Exhibitors who place first in the diversified and specialized class of the agricultural division at the county fair September 6 to 10, will be given an opportunity to show at the Pomona fair, September 20, and the Riverside fair, September 27. S. W. Slabaugh, county purchasing agent in charge of this arrangement announced today. Winners in the diversified class will be sent to the Riverside fair, and the specialized exhibit goes to the Pomona exposition, he said. Garden Grove, La Habra, Anaheim, Olive, Capitrano, Buena Park, Yorba Linda and Newport Beach are among the first in the county to respond to the plan, according to Slabaught. Virtually 100 per cent of the far more centers should be heard from, he said. County Buys Forty Acres From Irvine Purchase of an additional 40 acres from the Irvine Ranch Company by the county board of supervisors, made a total of 120 acres which the county now owns near the junction of Main street and Newport boulevard, south of Santa Ana. Two years ago, the county entered into a contract to purchase 160 acres from the Irvine company in installations of 40 acres each year, before August 1. The contract price was $350 per acre. The first "forty" was purchased then. A year ago the second 40 acres was added. The fourth and final 40 acres is scheduled to be purchased on or before August 1, 1928. The ground was purchased for use, under original plans, as a fair grounds or park. It may eventually be turned into an airport, it is said.

This completes the perfect record of dismissals that have marked the suits and counter suits that developed from the factional fight in Anaheim city politics. First, Harbison sued to oust the city trustees. That was dismissed. Then the trustees sued him for alleged perjury and libel. That was dismissed. Then Harbison sued the trustees for alleged malicious prosecution. Now that has been dismissed. The ouster suit was filed by Harbison portunity to show at the Pomona fair, September 20, and the Riverside fair, September 27. S. W. Slabaugh, county purchasing agent in charge of this arrangement announced today. Winners in the diversified class will be sent to the Riverside fair, and the specialized exhibit goes to the Pomona exposition, he said. Garden Grove, La Habra, Anaheim, Olive, Capistrano, Buena Park, Yorba Linda and Newport Beach are among the first in the county to respond to the plan, according to Slabaught. Virtually 100 per cent of the far ncenters should be heard from, he said. Jimmie Whitaker left for San Francisco on Tuesday evening on a brief business mission. He expects to make a flying trip, and will return the end of the week. Suit Against Trustees Dismissed by Court The last echo of litigation connected with the upheaval in Anaheim municipal affairs two years ago has been heard, with the announcement that the $10,000 suit for alleged malicious prosecution, brought by M. L. Harbison against the former board of trustees of Anaheim, has been dismissed in superior court. This completes the perfect record of dismissals that have marked the suits and counter suits that developed from the factional fight in Anaheim city politics. First, Harbison sued to oust the city trustees. That was dismissed. Then the trustees sued him for alleged perjury and libel. That was dismissed. Then Harbison sued the trustees for alleged malicious prosecution. Now that has been dismissed. The ouster suit was filed by Harbison in June, 1925. He charged that the trustees were guilty of malfessance in hiring Chief of Police Nichols, knowing that he had a criminal record. After a hearing in superior court, the ouster action was dismissed. The trustees retaliated by suing Harbison for perjury and libel, but that was dismissed July 31, 1925. Then came Harbison's second action, a suit of $10,000 for alleged malicious prosecution. It was filed September 17, 1925, and has been pending in the courts for nearly two years. It was brought against Trustees A. W. Franzen, L. E. Miller, Godfrey Stark, W. D. Grafton and Perry W. Mathis. Only Miller, Grafton and Franzen are now members of the board. SAFEWAY STORES DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT WASTE Post Toasties or Kellogg’s Corn Flakes 2 for 13c FOR THE SALAD.
