Litigation over the action of the Fullerton city council in granting the Union Oil company a franchise for a pipe line is now a foregone conclusion, and there is a prospect that the battle may be a Stricken Woman Brings Her Death By Will Power Fearful of the ravages of that disease—leprosy—and apparently doomed to be a prisoner for the rest of her life, Mrs. Carlos Rivers, 20, of Delhi, virtually committed "mental suicide" at the Orange county hospital, according to Dr. K. H. Sutherland. The woman, committed to the hospital about four weeks ago, did not fear death, but she did fear the constant ravages of the disease with which she was afflicted, and death came as a welcome surcause to her troubled mind and worn body. Since she was admitted to the hospital the woman refused nourishment, except what was forced, and she could not or would not sleep, Dr. Sutherland stated. She appeared to expect death, but did not care to wait, preferring to invite the end as soon as possible. Dr. Sutherland stated that no certificate of death had yet been issued and he admitted that he and other medical men were puzzled at the technical cause of death. He could give no intimation as to what would Indignant People, Headed by the Anaheim Union Water Company, Preparing to Battle Against the Proposal of the Union Oil Company to Tap the Santa Ana River Just Above This City. Litigation over the action of the Fullerton city council in granting the Union Oil company a franchise for a pipe line is now a foregone conclusion, and there is a prospect that the battle may be a long one as the opponents, headed by the Anaheim Union Water company declare that the fight will be carried to the highest court in the land if necessary to preserve the rights of the people of this region. The franchise grants the oil company the right to tap the Santa Ana river at a point above Anaheim and carry the water through a pipeline to a point north of Fullerton, where it will be spread on arid and undeveloped lands. The water thus ravished from the rightful owners would serve to develop new lands at the expense of the fertile groves of this section. The users of the water, who have a legal right to it, headed by H. H. Hale, president of the Anaheim Union Water Co., are preparing to fight to the last ditch in defense of their own. The water is of vital importance to the prosperity of this community. When the franchise was asked for and came up before the council it was opposed by Chairman Hale and Councilman Annin, but Kreighbaum, Potter and Elder voted for it, which gave it a majority. There was a storm of protest from the indignant people and an effort was made to persuade the council to rescind the franchise, but the three men stood pat. There was then much talk of a recall movement against the three councilmen, but this was dropped and the defenders of their rights began to prepare for legal action. The water company directors have been quietly at work during the past few weeks, securing pledges of financial support for the litigation which they expect to launch to prevent what they describe as a serious threat to the water supply of this part of the county. Members of the Yorba Linda Water company's board of directors recently voted a $50 contribution to the water rights fight. Some of the directors are said to have favored the decision of $500, it is said. President H. H. Hale of the Anaheim Union Water company states that the Anaheim city council has been approached to aid in the fight, inasmuch as Anaheim's domestic water supply is drawn from the underground supply that the Union Oil company plans to tap with its new line. Mayor L. E. Miller of Anaheim admitted that the proposition had been put up to the board, but that the members were of the opinion that they should delay any definite action until suit has actually been filed against the oil company. He gave it as his opinion. Since she was admitted to the hospital the woman refused nourishment, except what was forced, and she could not or would not sleep, Dr. Sutherland stated. She appeared to expect death, but did not care to wait, preferring to invite, the end as soon as possible. Dr. Sutherland stated that no certificate of death had yet been issued and he admitted that he and other medical men were puzzled at the technical cause of death. He could give no intimation as to what would be officially given as the cause of death. Pioneer Citizen Called by Death August Backs Succumbs After An Illness of Two Years After an illness of two years, August Backs, one of the old-time residents of Anaheim, died at his home on North Lemon street, Sunday night, at the age of 70 years. He was stricken with paralysis a couple of years ago and has been an invalid ever since, although for the past few months he has been able to walk about. He attended services at St. Boniface church Sunday, but passed away from heart failure during the night. Mr. Backs came to Anaheim from Westphalia, Germany, in 1883, and joined his brothers, Ferdinand and Joseph, in the furniture business. These brothers were the pioneer furniture dealers of Orange county, having been residents here many years before he came. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Alusia Backs, but no children. The Rosary was recited over the body Tuesday evening, and requiem high mass was sung at St. Boniface's church at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and interment was made in Calvary cemetery, Los Angeles. Fullerton House Gets Good Returns Annual Meeting Discloses Very Prosperous Season Revealing returns of $1,467,455 from 227,000 boxes of citrus fruit, J. A. Prizer secretary-manager of Fullerton branch of Placentia Orange Growers' association, gave his annual report to more than 500 growers at the meeting of the association in the Fullerton Union high school auditorium Saturday. Last year's shipments were the lightest since 1918, yet the prices was much better than usual, according to Prizer. An outstanding development of the association was revealed when it was decided to retire the entire bonded indebtedness of $150,000 standing against Manager G. W. Sawyer's report Shows That Season's Crop was Number of Cars tailed 407, But expected to be Doubled; Still Shipping. Although the citrus crop by weather conditions caused much unease among growers, the reports of various packing houses at the annual meeting show that the year was one, judging it from a point. The statement practically every associated a very satisfactory sale. The Anaheim Orange Growers' association held meeting last Thursday hundred persons, stockhouses being present to luncheon always provide sociable afternoon and annual report of Manager Growers' hands outlining the year. That the association had 407 cars of fruit durian son with returns total and that the average growers for the regular all pools, grades and orchard run grades, we packed box net, were his annual report of Secret W. Sandilands, which was ing the meeting. He stated that 24 car fruit were shipped during with an average return of $4,823 per packed box grades and sizes. In addition to the paid growers a refund too is yet to be made to final season's business, the reason to be made at the rate of packaged box on the shipment. Mr. Sandilands points out that the light crop packing charge was not remained the same as last 65 cents per packed box refund of eight cents per made on this charge.

Hale of the Anaheim Union Water company states that the Anaheim city council has been approached to aid in the fight, inasmuch as Anaheim's domestic water supply is drawn from the underground supply that the Union Oil company plans to tap with its new line. Mayor L. E. Miller of Anaheim admitted that the proposition had been put up to the board, but that the members were of the opinion that they should delay any definite action until suit has actually been filed against the oil company. He gave it as his opinion, however, that the city council will de its share in the fight. The Fullerton council at its session Tuesday night was halted in its proceedings of adopting the ordinance granting the franchise, by the filing of an injunction by Constable Brewer. The injunction was issued by Judge James L. Allen. Judge Allen set January 24 at 2 p.m. as the time for appearance of the Fullerton city council and other defendants to show cause why a permanent injunction should not be issued by the court. The case was brought into court by W. F. Coulter, J. P. DesGranges and the Placentia Orchards company. The Fullerton city council, composed of W. L. Hale, J. S. Elder, W. B. Potter, O. A. Kreighbaum and Bert Annim, was made defendant with the Union Oil company and F. C. Hezmalhalch, city clerk. On November 20, the complaint related, the council accepted a $100 bid from the oil concern for a franchise to lay pipe from water holdings above Anaheim to undeveloped land above Fullerton. It was agreed, the complaint stated, that the company would construct a reservoir on its property within the city limits, would keep it filled with water and would connect it with the fire mains of the city as a means of additional fire protection. The Fullerton council was restrained from giving the ordinance in the matter a second reading and final passage at Tuesday night's meeting as a result of the court's order. The complaint declared that the council had no authority or right to grant the franchise. Revealing returns of $1,467,455 from 227,000 boxes of citrus fruit, J. A. Prizer secretary-manager of Fullerton branch of Placentia Orange Growers' association, gave his annual report to more than 500 growers at the meeting of the association in the Fullerton Union high school auditorium Saturday. Last year's shipments were the lightest since 1918, yet the prices was much better than usual, according to Prizer. An outstanding development of the association was revealed when it was decided to retire the entire bonded indebtedness of $150,000 standing against the association, with refunds from the Fruit Growers' Supply company, the purchasing organization of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. The saving effected by the purchase of supplies has made possible the retiring of the debt, it was said. Routine business occupied the morning session, during which it was decided to reorganize the stock issues and method of financing. The principal change will be the dropping of the policy of paying interest on outstanding stock. A change in the by-laws of the organization made possible the new policy. The outlook for the 1929 valencia crop was told by Dale R. King, manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus exchange, at the afternoon session of the citrus meeting. Norman Blaney, secretary-manager of the Orange County Farm Bureau, also spoke at the afternoon session. The entire board of directors of the association was returned to office by a unanimous vote of the members present. The directors are W. L. Hale, E. Beazley, S. W. McCollich, E. D. Lang, Louis Jacobson, H. G. Meiser and E. W. Hemphill. Officers will be elected at the first meeting of the directors for the year. Present officers are W. L. Hale, president; E. E. Beazley, vice-president; S. W. McColoch, treasurer, and Jack Prizer, secretary-manager. A big army plane was refueled the other day while flying through the air.

Although the citrus crop was cut short by weather conditions the past season, causing much uneasiness among the growers, the reports of managers of the various packing houses made public at the annual meeting of stockholders, show that the year was a successful one, judging it from a money standpoint. The statements indicate that practically every association has enjoyed a very satisfactory season. The Anaheim Orange and Lemon Growers' association held its annual meeting last Thursday, with several hundred persons, stockholders and their wives, being present to partake of the luncheon always provided, to enjoy a sociable afternoon and to hear the annual report of Manager G. W. Sandilands outlining the year's business. That the association handled a total of 407 cars of fruit during the past season with returns totalling $915,747.76, and that the average price paid the growers for the regular crop, including all pools, grades and sizes inclusive of orchard run grades, was $5.196 per packed box net, were high lights of the annual report of Secretary-Manager G. W. Sandilands, which was reviewed during the meeting. He stated that 24 cars of off-bloom fruit were shipped during the season, with an average return to the grower of $4.823 per packed box net, for all grades and sizes. In addition to the amount already paid growers a refund totaling $66,303.64 is yet to be made to finally wind up the season's business, the refund settlement to be made at the rate of 40.8 cents per packed box on the shipments, he said. Mr. Sandilands pointed out that, in spite of the light crop handled, the packing charge was not increased, but remained the same as last year, namely, 65 cents per packed box, and that a refund of eight cents per box is to be made on this charge. Addresses by Paul S. Armstrong, assistant general manager of the California Fruit Grower's Exchange, and by Dale R. King, manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, and the annual election of officers were to be events of the late afternoon.

This house is expecting to handle 800 cars of valencias next season, he said. Meeting to Discuss Junior College Federal Officers Make Great Haul Large Quantity of Booze Captured at San Clemente One hundred and twenty cases of rare old Scotch whiskey, three barrels of bourbon whiskey, and a quantity of wine, including champagne and benedictine, were captured by sheriff's and federal officers, the latter under the leadership of Major Frank McReynolds, prohibition director of Southern California, when officers surprised a landing party near the Cotton race track, San Clemente, at 10 o'clock Saturday night. The capture was made without a shot being fired, but only after two rum runners in their excitement at seeing officers on the beach, jumped into the ocean when their dory, containing 40 cases of liquor, turned over several feet from shore. Approximately 20 cases of liquor in the dory at the time went to the bottom of the ocean and were not recovered. It was reported. The liquor confiscated, with the exception of 20 cases, was found on the beach, where it had been stacked by the rum runners preparatory to loading it into trucks for delivery to Los Angeles. The capture is the first large one made in this county in the past several months and may indicate it was said that rum barons, who have been operating off the Santa Barbara coast since before the Christmas holidays, may have switched their landing places to the Orange county coast. The place where the liquor was found is just inside the Orange county line, less than a mile from the San Diego county line. Officers who made the raid were working on a tip the prohibition office in Los Angeles received. Because of the darkness, officers were unable to tell how far away the ship was that delivered the whiskey to the dories, but several boats returned to the mother ship when the officers appeared on the scene.

Meeting to Discuss Junior College South End of County Will Take Action in the Matter Believing that the time is ripe for calling a round table conference for the formation of a union junior college district to the south of Anaheim, H. A. Lake, chairman of the Associated Chambers of Commerce educational committee has called a meeting to be held at St. Ann's Inn, January 22. Communities invited to be represented at the conference, a dinner meeting, are Santa Ana, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Orange, Huntington Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Tustin and Newport. Harry Prizer of Fullerton and H. H. Hale of Placentia, members of Mr. Lake's committee, have been notified of the impending meeting. In addition to members of the associated chambers educational committee, heads of school boards, principals of schools and interested chamber of commerce officials are being invited. When asked to express the purpose of the coming conference and what it is hoped to accomplish, Mr. Lake said: "Just talk, for the prest. I believe an exchange of ideas can be of considerable benefit. It is time the southern end of the county is getting together on a junior college plan. The northern end seems content to solve its junior college problem alone. "I believe it would be beneficial to the entire county to establish one centrally located junior college, but if that is not possible, then we should have one as strong as possible to serve those communities invited to this conference." The place where the liquor was found is just inside the Orange county line, less than a mile from the San Diego county line. Officers who made the raid were working on a tip the prohibition office in Los Angeles received. Because of the darkness, officers were unable to tell how far away the ship was that delivered the whiskey to the dories, but several boats returned to the mother ship when the officers appeared on the scene. Sheriff's Officers Don Mozley, together with Jess Elliott, constable, and H. W. McKague, federal officer, all of Santa Ana, were with McReynolds and his band of five federal agents who conducted the raid. The confiscated liquor was taken to Los Angeles. According to Mozley, the fate of the two men who jumped into the ocean was unknown. They were not seen after they left the dory, he said. Whether they drowned or swam safely to shore or to another boat, could not be ascertained. DRUMMY PROMOTED R. E. Drummy, general agent for the Union Pacific, with headquarters at Santa Ana, has been promoted by the company and has gone to Riverside, where he will act as general agent. Drummy is well known to many people in Anaheim. J. V. Connett, city freight and passenger agent at Santa Ana, also goes to Riverside to assume the position of traveling freight and passenger agent. Ralph Kemp, Anaheim druggist who is charged with selling liquor, pleaded not guilty to the accusation whe she was arraigned Monday in Presiding Judge James L. Allen's court. His trial was set for 9:30 a.m., February 4. Kemp is alleged to have sold whiskey to Harvey Pearce of Whittler. One beggar along Broadway makes $100 a day and employs a valet-secretary to look after his wants. And yet they say that the average New Yorker is too wise to be fooled. Counting adult, part-time and evening classes, the high school enrollment in California has now reached the enormous number of 468,666." Governor Young continued, "almost a half million citizens to-be are furnished educational opportunities denied the generation preceding them. The high school did not figure largely in California, that is, it did not reach out into the more sparsely settled sections, until about twenty-five years ago. "The junior college bids fair to make a showing of the same character, although naturally less impressive numerically. There are now fifteen of these institutions, and the total number of students receiving instruction, including courses in high schools, is well over 9,000." Spiritual Missions By Catholic Churches Pastors of all Catholic churches in Anaheim and vicinity have received instructions from the office of Rt. Rev. John J. Cantwell, bishop of Los Angeles and San Diego, concerning arrangements for the diocesan-wide spiritual missions, to be held during the Lenten season. In each church there will be erected in the sanctuary a Mission Cross, fifteen feet in height, black in color, and draped with a Corpus vell. On outside of each church will be placed a large banner bearing the slogan: "Make the Mission." In all the churches pledge cards have been distributed for the signed promises of Catholics to take part in the great Lenten revival. The Holy Name society which is headed by P. H. O'Nell, K. S. G., plans to have its entire enrollment of 40,000 in Southern California not only "make the mission" but assist pastors in making person contact with all Catholic men and boys in their districts, who for any reason have been neglecting their church duties. The Holy Name group has also begun a speaking campaign throughout the diocese, in preparation for the Missions, Work is progressive on cooling plan ange Co-operative association's pace Fe line.

Boy Arrested For Speeding Boy Arrested For Speeding Military Academy Youth Had a Car Without Permission, Police Say Robert Elridge, 16-year-old military academy student of Los Angeles, was in a hurry to get back to Los Angeles late Saturday night, he told Officer John Trezine and Roy Mills when the two stopped him after a three-mile chase at a speed reported in excess of 70 miles an hour. Investigation today revealed the fact that the car he was driving had been taken without permission of the owners, Philip and Simpson Singer, University of Southern California students in Los Angeles, and officers said this might have added to his desire to run away from the law. With Elridge was a 12-year-old student from the same school. Officials of the academy took charge of the boys and will return the older lad to answer to charges of speeding and possibly to grand theft for the taking of the automobile, it was said. The two lads were stopped on the La Habra road between Ocean avenue and the four corners, following a chase which started in the business district of Fullerton.

Expert Engineers Laud Supervisors Commend Them for Their Work Expert Engineers Laud Supervisors Commend Them for Their Work On River Control Policies purued by the board of supervisors in launching and carrying out the flood control and water conservation plans of Orange county were commended today by the trio of nationally known engineers who arrived in Santa Ana Tuesday to assist Paul Bailey, flood control engineer for the county, in reviewing tentative engineering plans for the project. A. J. Wiley of Boise, Idaho, chairman of the consulting board, and Charles H. Paul of Dayton, O., and F. C. Herrmann of San Francisco, the other members, voiced the opinion that the supervisors had been wise in calling in to aid them a group of leading citizens from through out the county. This group, known as the advisory committee, has met each month with the board and with Bailey a order to keep in touch with developments in the investigation on the Santa Ana river. The group further expressed its belief that the board had used commendable foresight in launching flood control investigations before, rather than after he coming of a possibly disastrous flood.
