DAMAGE PRESENT COUNTRY BOY INJURE TRUCK FILE FOR $25 Bill Rejected on Attorney and May Result; Onging Rates For Virtulent Users Outside City Liabilities Contracts For A little bill for $25 Fred Cooper on behalf son, Donald Lee Coo Total Assessed Valuation Now Is $205,000,000; Nearly Every City Showing An Increase; Exemption for Soldiers' and Railroads Leaves $179,000,000 on Which the County Will Collect Taxes the Coming Year Orange county, "Nature's Prolific Wonderland," added more than, eleven million dollars to its assessed valuation during the past year, according to the annual statement of County Sleeper. Just made public. Practically every community in the county shows a substantial increase. The total assessed valuation, according to Sleeper's figures, is $205,000,000, of which $179,-516,980 is taxable property. The largest unsecured personal property tax collection ever made between March and July was handled by Sleeper's force this year, he said. The collection amounted to $1,277,698. The month of June brought in the largest share of this money, accounting for $1,123,000, making it the banner month in the county's history. Last year the personal property taxes collected in the same period, March to July, totaled $998,604. Sleeper said. Santa Ana's assessed valuation was set at $19,195,760. The figure last year was $19,951,770.00. Sleeper stated that this is an approximate figure, pointing out that adjustments will be made where persons owning property in two localities, which must be segregated. Sleeper made an arbitrary assessment of the property of the Los Angeles Gas and Electric company at Seal Beach, he said, after the firm's refusal upon demand, to file a report. He placed the value at $500,000. In a letter to the board of supervisors he outlined the situation. The property he said, is non-operative, having been insulated but not functioning at present. Under section 3633 of the political code, the board cannot lower this figure, but may increase it. Sleeper declared. Soldiers' exemptions amounted to $1,-799,820, as against $1,662,705 last year. Railroad property last year was assessed at $8,928,394 and it is expected that the figure for this year will be approximately $9,000,000, although a final check has not been made because of the rush during the last days. Excluding railroads' and soldiers' exemptions, the grand total amounts to $194,316,175. The figure last year was $181,318,615. Operating railroad and public utilities properties amount to $14,799,195, thus leaving a total of $179,-516,980, which the county will tax. The assessed valuation of the city of Fullerton was set at $8,157,885; Anaheim's value was placed at $7,239,320; Orange was credited with $5,258,215; Huntington Beach with $3,197,215; Newport Beach with $5,477,630; La Habra, $904,-010; Brea, $1,021,105; Placentia, $413,-785; Tustin, $564,945; San Clemente, $774,-035; Seal Beach, $2,041,655; and Laguna Beach, $2,844,835. Citrus Growers Hold Convention New Parasite From Australia Distributed Among Them Several thousand thriving specimens of the tecticnematus, diplosis, coccophagus, pallus and chrysopids brought to the United States from Australia to war on the nearly bug nest, which threatens millions of dollars damage to citrus groves, were distributed to Southern California growers most in need of their protection, at a meeting of 800 citrus men at the high school auditorium at Fullerton Saturday. Held under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension service co-operating with the Inter-County Citrus department of the Farm Bureau, the meeting both in point of attendance and results obtained accomplished far more than the most optimistic forecasts, according to those in charge. Frank Daybell of Porterville, chairman of the Inter-County Citrus department, presided. Description of the new Australian parasites and the effectiveness of their work under experimental conditions provided the opening address of the meeting. Harold Compere, entomologist of the Riverside citrus experiment station, passed glass tubes containing specimens of the varieties through the audience and these were made available to those growers who were in particular need of them, for liberation in their orchards. H. J. Ryan, Los Angeles county horticultural commissioner, told of community effort in combating the Argentine ant, which encourages the propagation of mealy bug and scale to provide honey dew food for its own use. Ryan showed the types of poison containers used to exterminate the ants and told of the necessity for widespread control efforts to make the system most effective. Difficulties in quarantine enforcement to protect California horticulture were described by W. C. Jacobsen, chief of the State Bureau of Plant Quarantine and Pest Control at Sacramento. The three important points in this work he pointed out are border inspection, port inspection and named as a committee to co-operate with committees from other lodges. The date has not been set. Promotion of better acquaintance by members of the various lodges is the motive back of the series of programmed meetings of this type. It was explained by E. R. Majors, secretary. Officers of the two visiting lodges were entertained at a 6:30 dinner at the local club.

Jones Dies at Pasadena Frank Jones, former newspaper man of Buena Park, and prominent citizen of that town, died suddenly at Pasadena Saturday at the age of 36. Only a week previous to his death he had moved with his family from Buena Park to Pasadena, where he had purchased a service station. A chronic sufferer from high blood pressure, Jones was stricken with a sudden attack Saturday morning at 4 o'clock. At 9 o'clock he was taken to the Pasadena hospital, and an hour later his lungs became paralyzed. From that time until midnight, when his death occurred, the fire department of Pasadena administered artificial respiration, pumping nine tons of oxygen into his lungs. The decedent was born in Yreka, California. December 24, 1891. He was active in all community enterprises in Buena Park, being the founder of the Buena Park News and secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. More recently he was a salesman for the Fraser Realty company in Manchester Square. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Eleanor Jones, and two sons, Donald and Kenneth. Port inspection prevents intrusion of foreign pests through shipments of products brought in by boats. The most serious menace from this source is the Mediterranean fruit fly. Commenting on the pest, Jacobsen cited instances of the conditions found in Hawaii, where infestation is so bad in some sections that persons are afraid to eat fruit after dark due to the number of worms which are the larvae of the fly. The Mexican fruit fly and the white fly are pests stopped at the border by quarantine regulations, as is citrus canker, which cost southern and gulf states more than $20,000,000 to eradicate. These dangers, Jacobsen declared, justify the bureau in continued restrictions against infested areas and to safeguard the millions of dollars of protective work done in California. Comparative results of spraying and fumigation in pest control were described by R. S. Woglum, entomologist of the California Fruit Growers' exchange. Fumigation has been the backbone of citricola scale control for many years. Woglum said, but explained that combined fumigation and spraying provided the most permanent eradication of scale and other pests. Heavy oil sprays should not be used on oranges at any time as they interfere with coloration and quality of fruit, he said. Lighter and medium oil sprays are effective when used at proper times, the speaker said. A. A. Brock, Orange county horticultural commissioner, and H. E. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, led a field trip during the afternoon, visiting the groves of Perry Woodward here, where comparative results of spray and fumigation were demonstrated.

On March 7 the boy was struck by a garbage truck owned by the city of Anaheim, and seriously injured. On the advice of City Attorney George Holden the bill was rejected by council, the attorney declaring that the city was not liable for damages, and also that the bill was excessive. Ordinance No. 525, amending Ordinance 476, relative to water rates, increasing the rate to transients, and consumers outside the city, was passed. Under the amendment, which was given its second and final reading, the following rate schedule is to apply for transient shows, exhibitions and similar enterprises—%-inch pipe, $2.00 per month; 1-inch pipe, $3.20; 1½-inch pipe, $6.00; 2-inch, $10.00; 3-inch, $16.00; 4-inch, $22.50 and 6-inch, $50.00 per month. Water users living outside of the city limits will henceforth pay a rate of $1.50 per month for any amount up to 750 cubic feet per month and 15 cents per 100 cubic feet over that amount, the amendment provides. In the past there has been no set rate for water service outside of the city, the charges being estimated in each particular case. Yearly contracts for printing and newspaper advertising were awarded as follows: All legal advertising requiring publication in a daily paper, Anaheim Bulletin; all other legal advertising, Anaheim Gazette; printing posting cards, Hull Printing company and printing; item No. 4, J.

Over the week-end 15 scoutmasters of Orange county went to the camp where they held their regular monthly round table gathering. IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE Senator Robinson of Arkansas, permanent chairman of the Houston convention, declared in his address that during the eight years of Wilson's administration this country enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the nations of Europe, but under the seven years of Republican administration last past this attitude toward us had been changed to one of distrust and suspicion. Let us look into this thing a little bit. During Wilson's administration the countries of Europe, who had such confidence and esteem for us, according to the senator's statement, came to borrow from the United States treasury a sum in excess of eleven billion dollars. Two years after the close of war, France borrowed from us in excess of two billion dollars. When the Republicans came into power in 1920, these foreign nations were eager to borrow more money from us, but they were informed that the United States had a net war debt at that time amounting to more than twenty-six billion dollars, and a gross war debt of some thirty-seven billion dollars. They were informed, very politely, that this burdensome indebtedness would have to be met by our people, and that it would place burdens of taxation upon them for generations. They were informed, very politely, that the war was more than two years over, and that we were not in position to loan them any more money. Instantly their attitude toward us changed from one of esteem to one of distrust and suspicion. When President Coolidge announced in his New York speech four years ago that he would not stand for the cancellation of these foreign obligations to us, while Bryan scampered about the Chautauqua circuit urging cancellation, and the great international banking houses of Wall Street advocated a similar policy, these foreigners declared we were a nation of Shylocks THE ELKS' CLUB Men and Women of All Political Complexions Pledge Themselves to Work For His Re-election; Ralph McFadden Chosen President of the Club and a Committee of Prominent Men and Women Selected to Work For Him Two hundred and fifty men and women voters of Northern Orange county, met at the Elks' club house Friday night for the purpose of organizing a "Schumacher-for-Supervisor" club. The object of the club is to further the candidacy of William Schumacher, who has faithfully served this district for many years on the county board, and is now its chairman,and who is seeking re-election.People of all political complexions participated in the formation of the club which is expected to expand and before election number every supporter of Mr. Schumacher in the district in its ranks.S.C.Hartraft of Fullerton,presided overthe meeting. Officers of the organization selected by the meeting are Ralph McFadden president; Mrs. Ruth Smith,Anaheim secretary;John Gardner,Fullerton treasurer,and an executive board consisting of the following persons:William Wallop,Anaheim;Dale King,Fullerton;Nelson Launer,Lahab;Harry Becker,Brea;E.R.Walker;Yorba Linda;E.Curtis,Cypress,and Fred Bastady,Buena Park. The organization was formed with the avowed purpose of combating certain unfounded statements that are claimed to have been circulated in the district against William Schumacher,the chairman of the county board of supervisors,and candidate for re-election,and to bring about the candidate's return to his present post. S.C.Hartrant as temporary chairman.opened the meeting with a plea for more active interest in public affairs. “If there is a danger to our system of government it lies in the refusal of voters to go to the poles,” said the chairman. Mr. Schumacher outlined the issues of the coming campaign，declaring that regardless of what may be said to the contrary it is a fight on the part of a group of politicians,togain control of certain public moneytowhich he believes it is not entitled. “Through strict economy the present board has been able to retain almost $300,000fromthe moneynormallyexpectedtorunthecounty.”Mr.Schu-macher said.“In addition nearly a million dollarshas been investedinpermanent improvements.The report has been circulatedthatthe moneywehave accumulatedhas been collectedinexcess taxesthatneednot havebeenassessed.“Thisisnottrue.Themoneycamestfromdireconomiesffected.

They left Anaheim on June 10th, motoring to Seattle, where they were joined by Mr. and Mrs. Jos Carroll. There the party took a steamer at Alaska and spent a very enjoyable vacation at Juneau and other points of interest in the northern country. Through strict economy the present board has been able to retain almost $300,000 from the money normally expected to run the county." Mr. Schumacher said. "In addition nearly a million dollars has been invested in permanent improvements. The report has been circulated that the money we have accumulated has been collected in excess taxes that need not have been assessed." This is not true. This money came from direct economies effected, and will lower future taxes by just that much." H. H. Hale, president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county, berated those who are opposing the direct primary system, and declared that if a return to the old convention plan is made it will mean a rule by the minority and a lessening of the interest of the public in the vote. "Get the vote out," said Hale, "and Mr. Schumacher will be elected." Hale is from Placentia. Albert Launer of Fullerton reviewed the battle that the third district has had to obtain recognition on the board of supervisors and pleaded that no chance be taken on a change at this time. Dale King declared that the citrus grower always has received a square deal from Schumacher, and pointed to the recent posting of a county reward for apprehension of citrus thieves as an instance. O. P. Bunyard of Cypress declared that in Mr. Schumacher's earlier political career he had opposed the candidate, but that Schumacher's record has won him over. A gigantic waste of public money was prevented by Schumacher in plans for the Orange County Flood Control District, said William Wallop. The saving to the county will be more than half a million dollars, said this speaker. Other speakers called upon, and who urged the retention of Mr. Schumacher, were Carl Seamans, Yorba Linda; Tom Picklerill, Placentia; Leonard Evans, Anaheim, and Ralph McFadden. The organization will be expanded along lines to be suggested by the executive board, and probably will bring about the appointment of a committee in each precinct of the district. This is the first time people make their own proceed.

W. Blackman, 35, rancher of Talbert, and are holding him in the county jail for investigation. A troop of Boy Scouts from Huntington Beach were camped on the bank. Just before they were sent to bed, they heard screams, they reported. A man's voice broke the stillness of the night. "Don't shoot me, please don't shoot," the voice waited. This was followed by a gun's report and all was still for a while, the boys reported. Then the man's voice, "please don't shoot again. I ask you, don't shoot," he pleaded. Then two more shots, in rapid succession. Nothing more was heard. In the morning the Scouts investigated and found three empty shot gun shells. UNION MEETING OPENS SERIES AT PARK REV. THOMAS H. WALKER IN CHARGE OF THE INITIAL MEETING Discourses on Patriotism Because of the Approach of Independence Day; Declares American Who Fails to Vote Is Not Good Citizen; Nine More Meetings to be Held During the Summer Months The first of the series of union open air services to be given by the Protestant churches of Anaheim was held at the Greek theatre in Municipal Park THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE The paramount issue in this campaign is not the Eighteenth Amendment, not the Volstead Act, not the church or religious toleration, but the Coolidge administration. Do the American people endorse the administration of this great President, with the country enjoying prosperity from shore to shore, with working men employed at a high wage scale, with economy in public expenditure, with common sense guiding the destinies of the Republic, with a gradual reduction of our colossal war debt, with reduction in the burden of taxation, or will the people turn from all of this and try the experiment of a wet Tammanyite in the White House? The Eighteenth Amendment has been written into the Constitution and it is there to stay just as is the anti-slavery amendment and cannot be changed except by the action of the States of the Union. When the States say the Eighteenth Amendment shall be changed, it will be time enough to talk about that change, but not before. The Volstead Act cannot be changed except by the action of Congress and the action of the several states. We believe that Herbert Hoover will sweep the country on this platform. We believe that Al Smith will be the worst defeated man who ever ran for the Presidency in this country. Hoover stands for a continuation of these Coolidge policies. Smith stands on a dry platform, which he has practically repudiated, and is known as being about as wet as any man in this country. This is the paramount issue before the people. It is for the voters to make their decision. Let the procession proceed. Hawkins Relying On His Wife’s Help Will Testify Head Injury Responsible for Criminal INITIAL MEETING Discourses on Patriotism Because of the Approach of Independence Day; Declares American Who Fails to Vote Is Not Good Citizen; Nine More Meetings to be Held During the Summer Months The first of the series of union open air services to be given by the Protestant churches of Anabelm was held at the Greek theatre in Municipal Park Sunday evening, with Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of the Presbyterian church as the speaker. These meetings will continue for ten Sunday evenings consecutively, and an interesting program has been arranged for each meeting. The young people's societies will also hold special meetings until the first Sunday in August, but they will have no connection with the main service. General charge of arrangements for the adult series during the month of July is to be in the hands of Rev. Walker, and during August, will be in the hands of Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood, pastor of the White Temple Methodist church, with Everett Schneider in charge of arrangements for the young people's series. Music for the union services will be furnished by the White Temple orchestra of 20 pieces under the direction of Mr. Brownell. A committee composed of Henry Ramm, Will Wagner, Jr., and F. N. Gibbs will have charge of the ushers. The schedule of speakers adopted for the adult meeting is as follows: July 1, Rev. Walker, Presbyterian church; July 8, the Rev. L. M. Light, Evangelical; July 15, speaker from the World Sunday school convention; July 22, Flying Squadron speakers of the National Temperance bureau; July 29, the Rev. G. A. Anderson of the People's church; August 5, the Rev. Otto R. Schroeder, Bethel Baptist; August 12, the Rev. Frank Brinkmeyer, German Methodist; August 19, Y. M. C. A. speaker; August 26, Dr. Haywood, White Temple Methodist; September 2, the Rev. C. E. Malmann, Episcopal. The Junior services is in charge of the young people of the following churches: July 1, Evangelical; July 8, People's; July 15, Presbyterian; July 22, German Methodist; July 29, Presbyterian Intermediate and August 5, Methodist. Because of the near approach of Independence Day Rev. Walker delivered a patriotic sermon, declaring that the large number of people who fall to go to the polls on election day are not good citizens. He was not particularly pleased with either of the platforms adopted by the two major parties in their conventions as their planks on the prohibition question were not drastic enough to suit him. "Many people take the view that they have done their bit as citizens when they have paid their taxes," he remarked. "Good citizens should not only be willing to pay their proportionate share of just taxes, but they also should be willing to give a portion." Hawkins Relying On His Wife’s Help Will Testify Head Injury Responsible for Criminal Tendency "My wife will be my biggest help." So declared Johnny Hawkins, the former Trojan grid star who hopes to escape prison for the numerous burglaries he asserted committed, firm in the belief that he would never have entered upon a career of crime had he not suffered a bad injury in a football game four years ago. His 24-year-old co-ed wife can tell the court of his true mental condition, he said, before leaving for San Diego in the company of his attorney, Joseph W. Ryan. Attorney Ryan found it necessary to appear in the southern city for the conclusion of a murder case he is trying, and asked Municipal Judge Elliott Gibbs for a continuance of the preliminary hearing originally scheduled for Monday. Mrs. Thelma Hawkins, now in Vancouver, Washington, will therefore appear in her husband's behalf, once the case has been placed within superior court jurisdiction, it was intimated. Attorney Ryan hinted the one-time grid star would waive preliminary examination. Specialists who are to make examination of Hawkins' brain will testify whether the sizeable knot on the athlete's left temple has impaired his mind. Their findings will be carefully considered, but the intimate observations of the young man's wife, who was with him until nearly three months ago, will, in Hawkins' opinion, be equally valuable evidence. "She can tell how at times I'd be apparently alright," said the youth, who is accused of perpetrating more than 30 burglaries in which loot valued at more than $100,000 was gotten. a patriotic sermon, declaring that the large number of people who fail to go to the polls on election day are not good citizens. He was not particularly pleased with either of the platforms adopted by the two major parties in their conventions as their planks on the prohibition question were not drastic enough to suit him. "Many people take the view that they have done their bit as citizens when they have paid their taxes," he remarked. "Good citizens should not only be willing to pay their proportionate share of just taxes, but they also should be willing to give a portion of their time to public service," he added. The pastor voiced his disapproval of the platforms adopted by the Republican and Democratic parties, which, he stated, instead of being drafted in clear cut and definite terms, had been worded in phrases that furnished loopholes to various interpretations. These meetings have become exceedingly popular since the inauguration of the movement, and will draw large audiences throughout the series. Many people will attend who seldom venture into a church. They also serve to create harmony and goodwill among the various denominations. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Egybroad, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hartranft, their daughter, Miss Margaret Hartranft, Mrs. A. C. Pearson and Mrs. F. C. Benjamin of this city, L. C. Calkins and daughter, Miss Winifred Calkins, uncle and cousin of Mrs. Eygabroad and others, the party numbering in all twenty-five members will sail from Seattle for Alaska on Saturday where they will enjoy a vacation of several weeks. "She can tell how, at other times, something would come over me and I’d be positively unable to even write a letter," he continued. "She’s the most wonderful girl in the world and she understands that I’m not a criminal." An effort will be made by counsel for the former honor student to secure probation for Hawkins on the ground that the head injury, supposed to have resulted from a kick in the head during a football game four years ago, caused him to involuntarily commit burglary.
