CALIFORNIA VALENCIA ORANGE SHOW Opening Day—Thursday, May 24 Closing Day……Sunday, June 3 King Valencia's Annual Classic VOLUME LVIII INVITATION TO ORA HOOVER POLLS HEAVY VOTE IN THE STATE REPUBLICANS FLOCK TO POLLS TO SWELL VOTE FOR FAVORITE SON Governor Al Smith Given Overwhelming Majority for Democratic Delegation; Senator Walsh Trailing Far Behind Others; Hoover's Vote Over Half a Million; About Half of Registered Vote Cast in State ALTHOUGH he had no opponent in the primary election 4000 Persons See Boy Scout Exhibit At Fair Grounds BOY SCOUTS of Orange county, marshaled under their various scoutmasters, thrilled approximately 4000 persons at the Orange county fairgrounds. Friday night, in one of the finest demonstrations of trained youth ever seen here. The occasion was the third annual Boy Scout jamboree, sponsored by the Orange county volunteer of La Societe Les 40 Hommes et 8 Chevaux. The Scout maneuvers lasted fasted for more than an hour, and each event brought out a volume of applause from the crowded stands. Demonstrations included stunts by 35 troops from Santa Ana, Newport Beach, Garden Grove, Laguna Beach, Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Olinda Yorba Linda, Brea, Talbert, Cypress, Westminster, La Habra, and Placentia, and those who attended saw exhibitions of fire building, wall scaling, various kinds of life-saving demonstrations, log cutting, life line throwing, signal POLLS TO SWELL VOTE FOR FAVORITE SON Governor Al Smith Given Overwhelming Majority for Democratic Delegation; Senator Walsh Trailing Far Behind Others; Hoover's Vote Over Half a Million; About Half of Registered Vote Cast in State ALTHOUGH he had no opponent in the primary election Tuesday, loyal supporters of Herbert Hoover flocked to the polls and gave him a heavy vote. It is believed his total will reach 560,000 when the outlying districts are all in and the vote tabulated. The magnificent vote for the California man emphasizes his popularity in his home state. The fact that so many hundreds of thousands of men and women went to the polls to vote when their votes were not necessary to assure him the delegation will have its influence in his campaign in other states, not only in those where primaries are yet to be held, but in states where delegates have already been elected but are uninstructed and permitted to vote independently. While the heavy Hoover vote was a surprise, even to his most enthusiastic supporters, Governor Al Smith's overwhelming victory in the contest for the 26 delegates to the Democratic convention was a graeter one. Smith's principal opponent was Senator James A. Reed of Missouri. Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, who was dragged into the contest by W. G. McAdoo because he was a radical "dry," trailed far behind Reed. Smith's vote was far greater than the combined vote of both his opponents, which indicates that the New York governor is popular with the California Democrats. The eyes of the country were turned toward California Tuesday, as this was considered one of the pivotal states. Republicans were anxious to know what Hoover would do in his home state, and the Democrats were anxious to learn the extent of Al Smith's popularity on the Pacific coast. The fact that W. G. McAdoo, one of the king pins of Democracy, was bitterly opposed to him, made his triumph the greater. The result in California, it is conceded by the well-informed, assures his nomination at Houston. It is believed that nothing can now halt Hoover's triumphal march toward the Republican nomination at Kansas City. Latest returns give Hoover's vote as 553,000, with some some country precepts still unreported. In all probability he has polled 560,000. Al Smith polled 125,000 votes in the state, and has a majority over the combined vote of his opponents of at least 25,000. The vote in Anaheim was light, being only 1300 out of a registration of more than four thousand. Smith polled more votes here than both Reed and Walsh. The total vote was: Hoover, 1006; Societe Les 40 Hommes et 8 Chevaux. The Scout maneuvers lasted fasted for more than an hour, and each event brought out a volume of applause from the crowded stands. Demonstrations included stunts by 35 troops from Santa Ana, Newport Beach, Garden Grove, Laguna Beach, Orange, Anaheim, Fullerton, Huntington Beach, Olinda Yorba Linda, Brea, Talbert, Cypress, Westminster, La Habra, and Placentia, and those who attended saw exhibitions of fire building, wall scaling, various kinds of life-saving demonstrations, log cutting, life line throwing, signal tower drills, and scout games. Following the Scout Jamboree, service clubs-and other organizations in the county opened a "fun street," where various games of skill were played while business men sold peanuts, ballons, and ice cream. Packing Houses Ship Valencias Movement of Crop Will Be in Full Swing in a Week With two Anaheim packing houses now shipping several cars of fruit per day and other local distributing agencies rounding up plans for an early renewal of operations, the new Anaheim Valencia season promises to be in full swing soon. Favorable conditions in the eastern markets, with prices apparently on the upgrade and the load of northern California navels and winter Valencias rapidly being disposed of, combined with the good quality and good average sizes of the new crop of summer fruit, point to a successful season ahead, local distributors declare. The only "fly in the ointment" is the extremely short crop expected, a condition that is expected to be offset, however, by higher prices and good demand, local managers stated. The Anaheim house of the Olive Fruit Company has been shipping on the average of three cars per day of Valencias for some time, a total of 25 cars having already been placed on the rails for northern markets for export trade, Manager W. W. Miller reports. Miller stated that the average will probably not be exceeded until after the middle of next month, depending upon eastern market conditions. The Anaheim Citrus Association resumed operations Monday morning, expecting to put its first three cars of the new crop Valencias on the rails before night, Manager W. H. Schureman announced. This fruit is of good quality and the sizes are a little better than at this time last year, he said. The Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association has not gotten under way as yet, and is still uncertain as to just when operations will be begun. Shipping from the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association and the Ritchie Mills Company plants is not expected. SUBJECT OF BY DELEGATE Recent Discharge by Whalen Principle Complaint; No Protestants Told Their Grievance Upon Receipt of Would Receive THE much-heralded meeting of the Thursday night, but only a dud. The board loaded only with work Chief of Police Martin, of complaint against his charge of Patrolman L. The council chamber filled with persons who support the protestant had been made to org no written document; grievances complained speakers were put forth the case. Mr. Whalen address stating that he had had from the police force reason given him was co-operate with the aim him. He denied this for an investigation by Councilman Lakemin protests, declaring a member of the police months, and had a suit to Mr. Whalen's. He should be an investigator why men were discharged reason given, except that "co-operate" with the matter was disputed Miller and Councilman if were presented in writing be given due consideration found to be just prompt be taken to redress a matter omitted by any memorial government. Chief Martin also mentioned that he had tensions against him by present government. Tions were properly arranged and the truth he said, he would check position and walk out. There is a possibility testers will present things and the matter will threshed out. The Anaheim Electrified contract city with Mazda elec for the current year of the city council. It is believed that nothing can now halt Hoover's triumphal march toward the Republican nomination at Kansas City. Latest returns give Hoover's vote as 553,00, with some some country precepts still unreported. In all probability he has polled 560,000. Al Smith polled 135,000 votes in the state, and has a majority over the combined vote of his opponents of at least 25,000. The vote in Anaheim was light, being only 1300 out of a registration of more than four thousand. Smith polled more votes here than both Reed and Walsh. The total vote was: Hoover, 1006; Smith, 179; Reed, 86, and Walsh, 78. In Orange county Hoover's vote was 10,812; Smith's, 1259; Reed's, 1196, and Walsh's, 1199. The perchcts still unreported will swell the Hoover total, and it is estimated that the vote yet to come will swell his total to 560,000. McClellan Must Serve His Sentence G. E. McClellan, who was sentenced to serve 30 days in the county jail for alleged assault upon Itssell Scott of La Habra, has failed in his appeal to the district court of appeals, it was learned, when the appellate court's ruling was received by County Clerk J. M. Backs. Backs stated that, upon the advice of District Attorney Z. B. West, Jr., he will notify Seriff Sa mJernigan of the appellate court's decision, denying the appeal of McClellan, who was formerly Jernigan's chief criminal deputy. It will then become Jernigan's duty to take his former deputy into custody, to serve the jail sentence. Superior Judge Homer G. Ames pronounced sentence upon McClellan several months ago, following the conviction of McClellan and Roscoe Knight, a deputy sheriff, who was alleged to have arrested Scott without a warrant. Scott, it was said, was taken by force, when he refused to submit to arrest without a warrant. McClellan, who had at that time retired from the sheriff's staff, was in Knight's company when Scott was arrested and was charged with aiding and abetting in the offense. The Anaheim Citrus Association resumed operations Monday morning, expecting to put its first three cars of the new crop Valencias on the rails before night. Manager W. H. Schureman announced. This fruit is of good quality and the sizes are a little better than at this time last year, he said. The Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association has not gotten under way as yet, and is still uncertain as to just when operations will be begun. Shipping from the Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association and the Ritchie-Mills Company plants is not expected to begin until after the first of next month. BACK AFTER 50 YEARS This week The Gazette received a letter from George W. Cohen of Los Angeles, ordering the paper sent for a year to Isaac Cohen, 905 Fedora street, in that city. The writer states that Mr. Cohen was formerly a regular reader of the paper, but his subscription terminated when he moved away from Anaheim, fifty years ago. For many years Isaac Cohen conducted a general merchandise store here, and was one of the new town's best known and most progressive citizens. Half a century ago he disposed of his business and moved his family to Los Angeles, where he had a broader field. There are a few old-timers here who remember him, and who will be glad to know that he is still living and enjoying life. RAILWAY OFFICIALS HERE W. R. Armstrong, general superintendent of the Union Pacific Railway, and E. E. Cunningham, division superintendent, were here from Los Angeles on Monday on an official inspection of the company's branch lines in Southern California. The found Agent Eden at the depot on the job. They were taken by Mr. Eden to the city hall, where they were presented to City Manager Price and Engineer Hapgood, an old-time friend. They were shown through the Southern Meat Company's establishment, and were driven on a sightseeing tour about town. They were very favorably impressed with what they saw.

The matter was presented to the chamber by George Reid, manager of the Orange Show. Fritz Yung-bluth, president of the show, was also present and made a few remarks. Mr. Reid explained that the theme of the show this year is the story of the Arabian Knights. He asked that the exhibit portray some feature of this famous story of adventure. Twenty per cent of the space occupied must be covered with oranges, he said. A.H.S.

SUBJECT OF ATTACK BY DELEGATION Recent Discharge of Patrolman Whalen Principal Cause for Complaint; No Charges Made, Protestants Told to Present Their Grievances in Writing, Upon Receipt of Which They Would Receive Consideration THE much-heralded bomb that was advertised to explode at the meeting of the city council Thursday night, proved to be only a dud. The bomb was to be loaded only with words directed at Chief of Police Martin, the latest cause of complaint against him being the discharge of Patrolman Leonard Whalen. The council chamber was pretty well filled with persons who had gathered to support the protestants, but no effort had been made to organize the forces, no written document explaining the grievances complained of, and no speakers were put forward to present the case. Mr. Whalen addressed the board, stating that he had been discharged from the police force, and the only reason given him was that he did not co-operate with the authorities above him. He denied this charge and asked for an investigation by the board. Councilman Lakeman upheld the protestants, declaring that he had been a member of the police force for two months, and had a similar experience to Mr. Whalen's. He thought there should be an investigation to determine why men were discharged without any reason given, except that they failed to "co-operate" with the chief. Jack McCrea also made a speech and recited a personal grievance. He had been arrested, he said, on a possession of liquor charge and fined $500, which he considered excessive, insimuch as others arraigned for the same offense had been let off much easier. The matter was disposed of by Mayor Miller and Councilman Grafton, both of them declaring if the complaints were presented in writing they would be given due consideration, and if found to be just, prompt action would be taken to redress any wrongs committed by any member of the city government. Chief Martin also made a short talk, stating that he had heard of instructions against him by opponents of the present government. If these instruptions were properly presented to the council and the truth of them proven, he said, he would cheerfully reign his position and walk out of the city hall. There is a possibility that the protestants will present their case in writing and the matter will be thoroughly threshed out. The Anaheim Electric Company was awarded the contract for supplying the city with Mazda electric light globes for the current year at the meeting of the city council. The matter was presented to the chamber by George Reid, manager of the Orange Show. Fritz Yung-bluth, president of the show, was also present and made a few remarks. Mr. Reid explained that the theme of the show this year is the story of the Arabian Knights. He asked that the exhibit portray some feature of this famous story of adventure. Twenty per cent of the space occupied must be covered with oranges, he said. The state of California produced $110,000,000 worth of products last year and $27,000,000 of this amount came from Orange county. Last year, 100,000 people visited the Orange Show, and it is expected that fully 125,000 will pass through the gates this summer. The chamber voted to ask the city council for funds with which to finance the exhibit. A Doubtful Bargain Generally, the device which gives us best service costs a little more than one which only partially meets our needs. We have come to expect this sort of situation and, if we can afford it, we are inclined to pay the price and get the best. Right now, Anaheim is considering the matter of water insurance and strange as it may seem. The plan which will give us the greatest amount of insurance will cost but a fraction of the proposal which will give only partial protection. In fact, there are two plans to consider, either one of which is superior to installing an auxiliary gas engine to be used in case of emergency. We may build a big steel tank, as Santa Ana is doing, to provide reserve water storage, or we may make a connection with the Fullerton mains. Of the three ideas—gas engine, storage tank or Fullerton connection—it would appear that it is logical, practical, and economical to accept the invitation of the Fullerton board to take advantage of their storage facilities by making a simple tap between their mains and ours at a point where only the width of the road intervenes. To do this would cost not more than $1000. It would give us water in case of emergency and would be used solely as an emergency supply. It would mean full protection, no matter what happened to the electric system, to our pumps or to our wells. The gas engine is only a half-way measure, as anyone who has ever handled a gas engine will immediately concede. It is not probable that anything will happen to our wells or our pumps, but insurance disregards the probable and deals with the improbable. We all know this, that trouble comes in bunches and that a disaster of sufficient magnitude to disturb the Edison system would be big enough to damage other things—pumps and wells, for example. Insurance companies recognize that our present water storage is inadequate and, by giving ourselves Vernon Rockwell. OFFICES AND RULE AT THE CITY HALL Tommy Kuchel is Mayor, With Jack Dutton, Harold Hylton, Arval Morris, Lloyd Riutcel as Councilmen; Other Offices Filled After Contest Between High School and Junior Lions; Mayor Miller at Installation ANAHEIM this week is governed by an entirely new administration. There has been a clean sweep at the city hall, and all the chairs hitherto held down by the old officials are occupied by new ones. This is Boys' Week, consequently students of the high school, taking advantage of a privilege granted them, elected a full set of officials to administer the affairs of the various municipal offices during the week. The new legislative body is headed by Thomas Kuchel as mayor, with Jack Dutton, Harold Hylton, Arval Morris, and Lloyd Riutcel as councilmen. Other officers chosen were Vernon Rockwell, police Judge; Ortis Bruce, city manager; Albert Kluthe, chief of police; Marion Walton, city treasurer; Kenneth Clapp, fire chief. The Junior Lions Club had put forward a ticket for the various offices and the candidates were well supported. But the high school ticket was too strong for them, eleccling the mayor and councilmen by big majorities. Mayor L.E. Miller and other members of the old government were much interested in the contest, and duly installed the new officials, after which they retired. Contests for some of the offices was spirited and the vote close. The California laws governing elections was not strictly adhered to, as a couple of the mewere elected to two positions and were compelled to decline one of them, next highest man falling heir to it. In addition to choosing men for city jobs, the boys elected heads for various civic clubs of the city, and they will act in an executive capacity during the week. Kuchel, the newly-elected mayor, was opposed by Floyd Lakeman, who represented the Lions Club ticket, while Kuchel was backed by the high school. Kuchel polled 143 out of 210 votes cast, defeating his opponent by 76 votes. In this election the nineteenth amendment to the United States constitution was violated, inasmuch as only males were permitted to vote. The contest for councilmen was more exciting, as there was a long string of candidate in the race. Dutton, Hylton, Morris, and Riutcel were elected over Joe Bushard, Jack Brown, Roderick Brastad, George Daws, John Eley, Dick Lusk, Flural Morris, and John Shoemaker. Hylton was also a candidate for the position of police judge, and was elected by one vote. Preferring to serve as a councilman, however, he retired from this position in favor of the next nearest candidate. Vernon Rockwell. MUSICIANS OF MANY Plano contends county Elstedd stating that he had heard of instrucntions against him by opponents of the present government. If these instrucntions were properly presented to the council and the truth of them proven, he said, he would cheerfully reign his position and walk out of the city hall. There is a possibility that the protestants will present their case in writi ng and the matter will be thoroughly threshed out. The Anaheim Electric Company was awarded the contract for supplying the city with Mazda electric light globes for the current year at the meeting of the city council. In moving that the contract be awarded to that company, Councilman Grafton declared that inasmuch as the Anaheim Electric Company's bid was identical with that of the other Anaheim bidder—H. N. White—and in the past it had been the policy of the councll to alternate the award of such contracts under similar circumstances. Last year White was awarded the contract. Ordinance No. 523, appropriating $5500 for advertising and publicity purposes, the money to be spent under direction of the council, was passed without a dissenting vote. Bonds issued by the National Surety Company covering the office of City Treasurer Charles A. Boege in the sum of $25,000, and of the city clerk, Edward B. Merritt, in the sum of $2000, were approved by the board. Uncollectable accounts due the city in the suf m $466.23 were ordered charged off the books on motion of Councilman Franzen. The council received and filed the monthly report of Dr. K. H. Sutherland, county health officer, covering the activities of his department in the city of Anaheim. O. E. Steward, maintenance engineer on units 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the joint outfall sewer, during March as follows: Anaheim, 66 miners' inches; Fullerton, 64, and Orange, 58. Cost of maintenance were apportioned as follows; Anaheim, $21.98; Fullerton, $21.92; Orange, $19.32; Garden Grove, $3.37; Placentia, $3.38, and La Habra, $5.63. Demands against the city, approved by the finance committee, totaling $19,174.26 were ordered paid. It is not probable that anything will happen to our wells or our pumps, but insurance disregards the probable and deals with the improbable. We all know this, that trouble comes in bunches and that a disaster of sufficient magnitude to disturb the Edison system would be big enough to damage other things—pumps and wells, for example. Insurance companies recognize that our present water storage is inadequate and, by giving ourselves a greater water reserve, we would soon see benefit reflected in our premiums. The proposed contract with the gas engine people states that payment will be made out of savings, as between the cost of operating the engine and the cost of current from the Edison company. If operating costs go up, savings diminish; if Edison rates go down, savings dwindle. In that case, will the engine people give us the engine? Well, what do you think? And here is another interesting phase of the problem: The more we save, the more we pay. And at the end of 10 years we will own the engine—an engine that is 10 years old. This contract is necessarily a loosely drawn document, with much depending on its interpretation as to what constitutes savings and how payment shall be made. It is the sort of thing leads to litigation and civic unpleasantness. In the meantime, Anaheim will pay for fuel, lubrication, attendance and upkeep. It has been suggested that no additions need be made to the city payroll, as care for the engine will be incidental to other duties. This does not look well. Either the engine will be neglected or there is someone on the city force who at present is not fully occupied. Some of the things we are discussing are trifling, but they are just the sort of trifles that lead to wrangling and serve to upset the community. This is just another reason why the Fullerton connection would be better. That would be underground with only the valve showing, and you can't get into much of an argument about a valve. To do this will cost less than $1000. That is less than 3½ per cent of the cost of the engine. Anaheim Man Sued For Heavy Damages Fred W. Westerhold, Anaheim, is defendant in a $50,000 lawsuit in which John P. Martin, Los Angeles, accuses him of malicious prosecution in connection with a charge of grand larceny brought against Martin in 1927. Martin charged in the complaint that Westerhold caused his arrest after a warrant had been issued from the justice court April 1, 1927. He claims to have been in jail until May 15, when the case against him was dismissed in his favor, according to the complaint. Westerhold, in bringing the action against Martin last year, is said to have alleged that the latter stole $5000 from him in connection with the formation of a manufacturing concern, which never gavin Martin at that he had Westerhold amade threats his st nothing crook asked the court return the $5000.

This decision was made Tuesday by the county supervisors, who have been considering for over a week the possibility of the test being made in Orange county. Arunway half a mile long now is in use at the Orange county airport, and the addition of another mile will bring it up to the point where it will meet the needs of the Albatross when loaded to capacity, as it will be when it makes its try for the record.

But he reaffirmed his statements that there was nothing crooked about the deal and asked the court to order Westerhold to return the $5000. If President Coolidge entertains any doubt as to the superiority of the California Valencia orange over other summer varieties, or Valencias grown elsewhere, that doubt soon is to be dispelled. For the President, the members of his cabinet and the governors of all 48 states and the territories of Alaska, Hawaii, and the Philippines will receive within the next few days, miniature crates of choice Valencias from Orange county orchards and specially engraved invitations to the eighth annual California Valencia Orange Show at Anaheim, May 24 to June 3. The crates of oranges and the invitations were mailed out today from Anaheim. Painted an orange leaf green and with each end bearing a specially designed label calling attention to the 1928 Valencia show at Anaheim, the seventy-odd crates each containing two oranges, were transferred from an Orange county packing house to the Anaheim postoffice by motor truck earlier in the day; under supervision of George W. Reid, manager of this year's Valencia show. They comprised the largest and most unique consignment of postal matter cleared through the Anaheim postoffice in many a day. As befitting an invitation addressed to the nation's chief executive, that sent to President Coolidge was richly engraved on especially selected stock—a masterpiece of the engravers' art. The President's invitation and crate of oranges were sent special delivery. They should grace the presidential breakfast table on the morning of the sixth day after mailing. Gov. C. C. Young of California will not have to wait so long. The 15-hour train journey from Los Angeles to Sacramento will place the governor's oranges on his luncheon table at noon tomorrow. The governors of Alaska, Hawaii, and the Philippines will receive theirs in due time; barring accidents. This is the first time in the history of the California Valencia Orange Show that the President, cabinet members, and governors have been so honored. Adolph Ableiter died suddenly from a stroke of apoplexy at his home, on North Clementine street, Sunday. He was 56 years of age. Mr. Ableiter had been a resident of Anaheim for eight years, and was employed as caretaker widow, one son and one daughter.
