CALIFORNIA VALENCIA ORANGE SHOW Opening Day—Thursday, May 24 Closing Day……Sunday, June 3 King Valencia's Annual Classic VOLUME LVIII LOCAL POLITICS MUCH INTEREST TAKEN IN CITY CAMPAIGN EVERYTHING SERENE ON SURFACE, BUT WORKERS BUSY IN SECRET Unusual Percentage of Registered Vote Expected to Be Cast April 9; Activity of Opponents of Present City Government Stirring Friends of Administration to Action; Both Confident of Victory ALTHOUGH there is little evidence of a warm contest on the surface, it is known that the Welfare Chest Preparing for Fund Campaign PLANS for the second annual financial campaign to be staged here by the Anaheim Welfare Chest organization are now being made, according to announcement by President Harry D. Riley. Annual election of officers and completion of plans for the campaign are to mark a meeting April 11, a nominating committee composed of Melbourne A. Gauer, Miss E. Kate Rea and J. H. Whitaker being scheduled to report at that time. All organizations interested in last year's campaign, which includes the Anaheim Boy and Girl Scouts, Crippled Children's Relief Association and Salvation Army, as well as all other local welfare groups that might wish to have a part in the joint appeal for funds, together with the service clubs of the city, are to be invited to send representatives to the annual meeting April 11. Dr. Helms Speaks to BUSY IN SECRET Unusual Percentage of Registered Vote Expected to Be Cast April 9; Activity of Opponents of City Government Stirring Friends of Administration to Action; Both Confident of Victory ALTHOUGH there is little evidence of a warm contest on the surface, it is known that the faction opposing the return of Councilmen Miller and Case are extremely active, and busily engaged in marshaling their forces for the battle of the ballots on Monday, April 9. The activity of the leaders of this party has stimulated the supporters of the government at the city hall, and in consequence it is expected that an unusually heavy vote will be cast. The strength of the opposition, which is supporting George W. Bruns and Jacob Lakeman for the seats now occupied by Messrs. Case and Miller, is an unknown quantity, therefore all friends of the administration have awakened to the fact that they should go to the polls and vote on election day. It is believed that one of the heaviest votes ever polled at a municipal election will be the result of this quiet campaign, as people are getting their eyes open to the fact that the issue is a momentous one, and has a different meaning than that appearing to those who only consider the personality of the candidates. Opposition to the present council has been fostered and fomented by those in whose hearts resentment has been ranking since the recent recall election, and they have augmented their forces by whispering in the ears of the many who have personal grievances. It is easy to create an opposition to a governing body by accusing it of extravagance. Progressiveness of the city council is the issue which is being paraded before the voters, although it is disguised under the name of extravagance. The city park improvements are pointed out as an example of a sinful waste of money. The Greek theatre, erected a couple of years ago, is especially denounced because, it is claimed, it was an unnecessary expense, but this structure was erected from funds saved by an economical administration of affairs. As a matter of fact, Anaheim now has a city park that any citizen can proudly show to strangers within our gates. It is a valuable asset to the town and is known throughout all of Southern California. Delegations from other cities come here to inspect it and get ideas for parks of their own. Another thing that is agitating the minds of the opposition is the extension of the ornamental lighting system and the uniform tree campaign recommended by the city planning commission. These things are indorsed by a majority of the property holders, and are only in line with the plan to bring Anaheim up to a level with other cities. Dr. Helms Speaks to Men's Forum Club Tommy Kuchel Delivers His Address on the Constitution Dr. Elmer E. Helms, pastor of the First Methodist church in Los Angeles, was a speaker at the Men's Open Forum Club meeting at White Temple church Monday evening. He talked on evangelism, and advocated more evangelistic work among the laymen of the church. Tommy Kuchel was also one of the entertainers at the meeting, delivering his oration on "The Living Constitution." This is the speech that won him the championship in the recent high school debate, and makes him the representative of Anaheim high in the national high school oratorical contest on the Constitution. Vocal numbers by Mrs. Myranny Richards-Cox, former New York opera singer, were outstanding features of the musical portion of the program, which included violin selections by Mrs. Golda Anderson of Anaheim, vocal solos by Percy W. Olds, and a series of pianologues offered by Mrs. E. C. Kendrick of Anaheim. Piano accompaniment for Mrs. Cox' numbers was provided by Miss Lillian Edwards, Miss Ethel Phillips accompanying Mrs. Anderson, and Mrs. Kendrick playing for Mr. Olds' solos and for the community singing led by Mr. Olds during the dinner hour. The affair opened as usual with a 6:30 o'clock supper served by the women of the church, President Melbourne A. Gauer presiding. Anaheim Elks Going to San Diego L. A. Lewis to Install Newly-Elected Officers of Lodge A large delegation of Anaheim Elks will journey down to San Diego on Thursday, April 5, to assist in the installation of the new-plected officers. L. A. Lewis, past exalted ruler of the Anaheim Elks and past district deputy of the southern portion of California, will have charge of the ceremonies of installing the new officials. show to strangers within our gates. It is a valuable asset to the town and is known throughout all of Southern California. Delegations from other cities come here to inspect it and get ideas for parks of their own. Another thing that is agitating the minds of the opposition is the extension of the ornamental lighting system and the uniform tree campaign recommended by the city planning commission. These things are indorsed by a majority of the property holders, and are only in line with the plan to bring Anaheim up to a level with other cities of its class in Southern California. The city lay dormant for nearly half a century because the opposition to modern improvements had control, but when its people imbibed the spirit of progress and began to pave its streets, build sidewalks and install lights it began to grow. Every dollar spent in improvements has returned a heavy dividend, and such dollars always will not only in Anaheim, but in every other town. Both Jacob Lakeman and George W. Bruns, who are contesting with Miller and Case, are men of high standing in the community, and it is not believed they are opposed to improvements in these modern days when all rival communities are striving to excel, or at least run an even race with the others. However, economy in the city's affairs is the platform on which they are standing. The battle for councilmen has overshadowed the contest for the treasurership, but considerable interest is being taken in the race between Charles A. Boege, D. Jessurun, and Glen Merrill for this office. Charley Boege's friends, who have always supported him for the office, are standing solidly behind him again. They argue that, as he served the city as treasurer many years for little or no pay, it would be unjust to supersede him now that the treasurer is to receive a living wage for his work, especially as he has proven himself faithful and efficient. Wilton Abplanai of this city and Miss Ruth Whitney of Escondido will be married tomorrow morning at the bride's home. L. A. Lewis to Install Newly-Elected Officers of Lodge A large delegation of Anaheim Elks will journey down to San Diego on Thursday, April 5, to assist in the installation of the new-elected officers. L. A. Lewis, past exalted ruler of the Anaheim Elks and past district deputy of the southern portion of California, will have charge of the ceremonies of installing the new officials. Since W. C. Crandall, past exalted ruler of the San Diego lodge is to have charge of the installation ceremonies to be held for the new officers of the Anaheim order on the evening of April 11, special efforts are being made to have a large delegation from the local herd at the San Diego ceremonies, Secretary Alsip said. All Elks interested in making the trip are asked to notify the secretary in advance of the date. Two parties are being formed to make the trip, the first to leave at 8 a.m., April 5, and the other at 2 p.m. on the same day, he announced. Placentia Pioneer Called by Death Alexis T. Pendleton, a pioneer orange grower of the Placentia district, and one of the best known ranchers in the north end of the county, died at his home, on Placentia avenue, Friday from a heart attack, at the age of 76. He had been ill less than 24 hours, and death came upon him suddenly. Pendleton was one of the founders of the First Baptist church of Fullerton and had been active in the church up to the time of his death, participating in the services on the Sunday previous to his death. He is survived by one son, Lloyd Pendleton, and two daughters, Mrs. Arthur Staley and Mrs. A. C. Linbeefger, all of the Placentia district. Funeral services were held at Fullerton Monday, Rev. S. Fraser Langford officiating. The Fullerton Masonic lodge took part in the services.

It is an axiom known of all men that a community can not be larger than its water supply and it must have an adequate supply of this necessity, or it will pass into the realm of forgotten places. The increase in population in the southern counties has been so large that everywhere the water supply seems to be inadequate to the demand. Communities are striving as never before to provide for the future, and vast sums of money have been and are being expended in the enterprise. The recent breaking of the St. Francis dam, with its resultant deplorable loss of life and property, was the effect of the city of Los Angeles reaching out in all directions for this essential commodity. The draining of farm lands in Inyo county by the metropolis has left fruitful orchards and blossoming alfalfa fields to revert to chaos. Proceeding upon the theory of the greatest good to the greatest number, the city has appropriated this water, and is reaching out for more, always more. People have left the county; banks have failed; business is ruined, and there is an intolerable state of affairs hovering over all. This water was just as precious to these Inyo county farmers as it is to the city, but their interests have been swept aside by the constantly growing demands of the metropolis. Los Angeles has expended millions of dollars for its water supply, and it now looks to the Colorado river for a further supply. The communities in the upper valley also depend upon the Colorado river for their water supply, and it will cost a vast sum of money to bring the water hitherward. Everywhere there is a quest for water. Supplies are altogether inadequate to the demand, and thousands of new people are continually coming in. It is a condition and not a theory which confronts these municipalities. It will require the most careful and painstaking efforts to secure an adequate supply of water, and the costs will mount up into the millions of dollars. CITY TREASURER TO GET BETTER SALARY COUNCIL ADOPTS MEASURE FIXING HIS PAY AT $200 PER MONTH Ordinance Introduced Increasing License Fee on Distributors of Advertising Matter From $10 to $20 Per Day; Telephone Company Pays City $1289.29, 2 Per Cent of Gross Receipts; Contract for Garbage Signed HEREAFTER the city treasurer will draw a salary commensurate with the important duties of his office. Some years alfalfa fields to revert to chaos. Proceeding upon the theory of the greatest good to the greatest number, the city has appropriated this water, and is reaching out for more, always more. People have left the county; banks have failed; business is ruined, and there is an intolerable state of affairs hovering over all. This water was just as precious to these Inyo county farmers as it is to the city, but their interests have been swept aside by the constantly growing demands of the metropolis. Los Angeles has expended millions of dollars for its water supply, and it now looks to the Colorado river for a further supply. The communities in the upper valley also depend upon the Colorado river for their water supply, and it will cost a vast sum of money to bring the water hitherward. Everywhere there is a quest for water. Supplies are altogether inadequate to the demand, and thousands of new people are continually coming in. It is a condition and not a theory which confronts these municipalities. It will require the most careful and painstaking efforts to secure an adequate supply of water, and the costs will mount up into the millions of dollars. Santa Ana recently defeated a bond issue of a million and a quarter of dollars for the increase of its water supply, and is today confronted with an acute and depressing scarcity. An epidemic of typhoid and intestinal disorders prevailed in that town, and many families moved away to save themselves from these distempers. Scientific men were engaged to discover the cause, and it was finally learned that one of the reservoirs was being contaminated by sewage. Think of it! Orange has recently voted a large bond issue for water and faces a need of raising other large sums to increase its inadequate supply. Interests of these two towns conflict with reference to water bearing lands, and a law suit may be the outcome of it all. Other communities in the county are searching for more water, and everywhere the cry goes up for water, more water. How are we faring here in Anaheim with reference to our water supply? The purchase of the deep wells from the sugar factory by the city administration, at a beggarly outlay of $26,000, gives the city a supply sufficient for a community five or six times our population. These deep wells may be multiplied indefinitely at small outlay, and it is not too much to say that we have here an abundance of water for many years to come. Fullerton has a number of deep wells on lands recently annexed to this city, and is securing an adequate supply from the underground stratum. Each of the deep wells purchased from the sugar factory yield 1900 gallons of water per minute, and there is no appreciable lowering of the plane of saturation. We have a magnificent supply of the purest water, which comes, we may add, as we have been informed, from the eternal snows on the Rocky mountains. The supply is adequate; we might say inexhaustible. We are confronted by no great bond issues for water; we have no law suits in sight; we have had no epidemics of typhoid or other disorders, because of an impure supply of water, and we hope and pray these things may never come to us. In a word, we are sitting pretty! If the present city administration had done nothing but to give us this inexhaustible supply of pure water at a beggarly outlay, of $26,000, we should say they are entitled to and should receive the support of the people at the election April 9. If this work has not been magnificent on their part, we do not know what it can be called. It is splendid, magnificent, and reflects great credit upon the wisdom and efficiency of the board. Not a board in the entire state has done anything to compare with this; but the trustees have done many other commendable things. They have widened and beautified our streets. They have given us a city park, an open air theatre. They have given us an adequate fire department, and have protected and conserved the interests of the people on every hand. They are giving us ornamental lights on our residence streets and are planting shade trees in our parking, in both of which they should have the support of the people. They have expended a large sum of the taxpayers' money, and everywhere and always have given the taxpayers dollar for dollar for the outlay. They have contracted for supplies and betterments with sagacity, and everywhere and always have been efficient, economical and conservative. We have had no waste of public money, no municipal scandal, but have had good government and economy everywhere. Of course, there is criticism concerning the board. That is to be expected as election time comes on. It always has happened, and who knows but it always will. But those making the greatest outey against the board are a number of them, those who will make similar outeries against other boards. We hear rumors of a slate for a number of gentlemen who desire to have soft berths at the city hall, and all these manifestations against the city administration should be taken with a grain of salt. That's the word. A grain of salt. So far as those gentlemen whose names appear upon the ballot in opposition, we have no word of criticism to offer. But many of those who are interesting themselves in this fight we would not trust as far as we could sling a bull by the tail. Ordinance Introduced Increasing License Fee on Distributors of Advertising Matter From $10 to $20 Per Day; Telephone Company Pays City $1289.29, 2 Per Cent of Gross Receipts; Contract for Garbage Signed HEREAFTER the city treasurer will draw a salary commensurate with the important duties of his office. Some years ago the trustees raised his pay from a mere pittance to $125 per month, and Thursday night the council adopted an ordinance increasing this to $200 a month. It is stipulated, however, that he must hereafter maintain an office in the city hall, where he will be easy of access to all who chance to have business with him. Another ordinance, amending a law hitherto in force, fixes the amount of bonds certain city officials must give before entering upon their next term of office. Under this ordinance the city clerk is required to file a bond for $2000; the city treasurer's bond is fixed at $15,000; the marshal must file a $5000 bond, and the recorder is let off with $500. Still another ordinance was introduced, read for the first time, and will be passed at the next meeting of the council. This raises the license fee on distributors of handbills and other free advertising matter from $10 per day to $20 per day. Several months ago, in response to numerous complaints from householders who found their lawns daily littered up with circulars, shopping guides and other advertising matter, an ordinance was adopted fixing a license of $10 per day on all distributors of such literature. This lessened the nuisance, but did not abate it entirely; consequently the new ordinance, doubling the license fee, has been introduced. Blds for lamps, meters and other electrical equipment, which were opened at the meeting March 8 were again laid over for further study and tabulation. The council granted a petition received from the Bungalow Electric Company, of this city, to withdraw their bid on the lamp contract. The petition stated that company had learned since filling its bid that it could not qualify for such a contract and asked leave to withdraw. Mayor Carl F. Leonard was authorized to sign a contract with the Eastanchury Ranch Company for the collection of garbage for the ensuing three years at a price of $126 per month. A bond submitted to the council by the successful bidders was approved. The council approved a statement from the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company, showing gross receipts of $64,464.26 for the company during the 12 months ending February 29. Under the franchise which the corporation operates here the city gets 2 per cent of gross revenues. The city's share for the past twelve months totalled $1,289.29. A resolution confirming the proceed- Of course, there is criticism concerning the board. That is to be expected as election time comes on. It always has happened, and who knows but it always will. But those making the greatest outcry against the board are a number of them, those who will make similar outcries against other boards. We hear rumors at a slate for a number of gentlemen who desire to have soft berths at the city hall, and all these manifestations against the city administration should be taken with a grain of salt. That's the word. A grain of salt. So far as those gentlemen whose names appear upon the ballot in opposition, we have no word of criticism to offer. But many of those who are interesting themselves in this fight we would not trust as far as we could sling a bull by the tail. MANIAC AMUCK WITH DEADLY SHOTGUN SENDS TWO MEN TO HOSPITAL SUFFERING FROM SERIOUS INJURIES Madman Ends His Wild Orgy by Blowing His Own Head Off in Orange Orchard; Shoots Numerous Windows Out in Hope of Killing the People Inside; Sudden Fit of Insanity Attacked Him. It Is Believed ARMED with a shotgun and a supply of shells loaded with birdshot, William Hance, an employe of the Ide Stone ranch, near Brea, ran amuck Thursday and terrorized the neighborhood for an hour until he finally turned the gun on himself and blew his brains out. Lee Welch, son-in-law of Stone, and James Post, a neighbor, were seriously wounded by the man, who had evidently become insane, but both are expected to recover. After shooting the two men and fir-ing at others without results, Hance amused himself by shooting the windows out of houses in the neighborhood, in an endeavor to kill the people inside. A Fullerton physician is said to have advised his relatives two days ago to have him placed in custody. A La Habra doctor, examining Hance, however, pronounced him normal, it was said. Stone met Hance shortly before 7 o'clock, in the yard between the Stone ranch house and the small dwelling at the rear, where Hance lived with his wife and 12-year-old daughter. "How are you feeling this morning, Oris?" Stone asked. "Fine," replied Hance. "I had a good reest last night." Stone said he observed nothing alarming about Hance's manner. But a few moments later the sound of firing came from the Hance dwelling. Hance stood a few feet away from his house and poured shots through its windows. His wife and daughter were inside. Then he got in his car, a light touring car, and drove away. Stone did not see the gun, a 12-gauge repeating shotgun, which he had placed under the rear seat cushion. Crossing the road, Hance drove into the rear yard at the Cunningham place, alighted from his car. Post was in a small shack, preparing his lunch before leaving for his work in the oil fields. He turned as Hance appeared in the doorway and fired point-blank, the shot finding its mark and spattering shot and blood over the walls and floor. The manlae then turned his attention to Welch, who was standing between his car and the wall of a shed a few feet distant, pouring gasoline into the tank of his small car. He was trapped and could not escape the hall of lead that belched from Hance's gun. Both Welch and Post, although desperately wounded, managed to escape. Welch ran to a neighbor's and was hastily loaded into a car and started for the hospital. Hance poured a shot after the fleeing auto, and although he failed to hit the occupants, he peppered the car. Then he followed Post into an orange grove, where he had taken refuge. A few moments later a shot was heard from the orchard, and an investigation revealed that the madman had turned the gun on himself and blown the top of his head off. Had not Hance taken his own life at that point, he would have been hunted down by officers who reached the scene a moment later. Deputy Sheriffs Arthur F. Steward and Hunter Leach were first on the ground, having been summoned by City Marshal Williams of Brea, first to receive warning of what was going on. Fullerton police and Brea and La Habra officers also responded to the summons. Deputy Sheriff J. L. Elliott and Robert Sandon, deputy coroner, and Under Sheriff E. E. French also hastened to the scene. Following by Dr. Benjamin Passion Week Temple Method ginning on I ending Easter Palm Sunday Victor Pageant."

The privilege of electing representatives and through these representatives setting up a responsive government was the very principle for which the American Revolution was fought. The fact that a large part of a possible electorate does not take part in the election of representatives is dangerous enough, but the fact that the percentage of potential voters actually voting is on a decline constitutes a real menace to the stability of our governmental institutions. We claim to be a practical people, yet we turn up our noses at politics, which is consuming more of our income than any other one thing. Just why sensible men and women should be so indifferent to the most practical matters affecting their daily lives is hard to see.

W. Truxaw, at 887 South Los Angeles street, disappeared with values worth $1000, it was learned when police officers were asked to search for the pseudo maid. The Truxaw family placed an advertisement in a newspaper Saturday for a house worker. Sunday the counterfeit made came to the home. She secured the position and was told to return Monday. She came to work at 8 o'clock and at 11 o'clock it was discovered that she was missing. Investigation disclosed that the woman had stripped the house of jewelry. The woman apparently was a foreigner, being about 30 years of age, 5 feet 3 inches in height, and weighing 110 pounds. She spoke broken English and wore a dark blue coat suit to work. Officers are inclined to believe that the woman is a professional crook, traveling from one city to another.

Will Meet Tonight The annual meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county will be held at St. Ann's Inn, Santa Ana, tonight, at 6:30 o'clock, it was announced by George Raymer, secretary. Officers will be elected and written reports of the various standing committees will be received at the meeting. If the county body follows its usual method of advancing officers, H. H. Hale, of Placentia, will be president of the organization for the coming year, for the Placentia man now holds the position of vice-president. Hale has been one of the most active men in the organization for years, and it is predicted that with a year under his direction the chambers will show a record of accomplishments. Next week will be vacation week for pupils of the city grammar schools. Friday of this week will be the last day of school until Monday, April 9. The teachers, as well as the pupils, will enjoy the week of rest. County Clerk J. M. Backs announced Tuesday that the registration of voters in Orange county on that date had reached 39,300, and that by Saturday night, when the roll closes for the presidential primary, it will be much larger. Two years ago the total registration for the November election was 41,746, but this year it will far surpass that figure. Backs expects this total to be reached by Saturday night.
