Crime Growing Despite Laws, Speaker Says "Crime is increasing despite punishments meted out under the present system of prosecution, and as a result more attention is being paid to the cause and motive behind the deed as a move toward prevention." S. B. Kauffman, deputy district attorney of Orange county, stated in a recent speech. "The purpose of the district attorney's office is not to convict all criminals, but to deal in a humanitarian way with each individual case that comes before it," Kauffman declared. He quoted an array of figures, showing that during the past year for which statistics were available, out of 241 felony cases handled in the district attorney's office, there were 230 convictions throughout the valley for a number of days. The flood was the worst ever recorded in Southern California.

Erected on North Los Angeles street, between Chartres and Cypress by Geo. Hansen in 1857, the year of the founding of the Mother Colony, the first building ever constructed in this city, now the property of the Daughters of the American Revolution, occupying a site on West street near Sycamore, will be formally opened to the public on Friday afternoon with a historical collection of relics of pioneer times in this community. The edifice will be occupied as the official headquarters of Mother Colony Chapter D. A. R., and the first session will be held therein tomorrow afternoon. The present site was donated by Mrs. John J. Dwyer, a daughter of pioneer residents, adjoining the home in which her family lived for many years. The building has been newly painted and reroofed, and contains a most interesting collection of relics used in the Colony during the early years of its existence. An electrically lighted chandelier hangs in the main room, and with other globes furnishes ample illumination for the interior. The chandelier consisted originally of four coal oil lamps, and was installed by Mrs. Carrillo, mother of Mrs. Adolph Rimpau, whose family occupied the house when Hansen vacated the premises, following completion of the survey of the townsite. It was presented to the ladies of the Chapter by Mrs. Rimpau, who still resides here and is taking an active interest in the preservation of the many articles associated with the history of the pioneers. In this building Mrs. Rimpau was married, as were also her sisters, Mrs. Felicidad Kirby and Mrs. Encarnacion Richards, the latter of whom has passed away. Mrs. Kirby resides with her family in Los Angeles and is an occasional visitor here. Following the occupation of the five-roomed dwelling by Mrs. Carrillo and her family, it became the property of Frederick Ruhman, who lived there with his wife and his niece, Mrs. Somnen, later Mrs. Peter Syre, who passed away several years ago. It was later purchased by E. E. Beazley of Fullerton, who generously donated it to the ladies of the Chapter. It was moved last year to its new site where it will remain open to the public, with the treasured relics therein displayed. In the year following its erection August Langenberger began work on his two-story adobe building on West Center street, which was occupied by him as the first general merchandising establishment in the Colony.

The flood was the worst ever recorded in Southern California. Thus the building, now the property of Mother Colony Chapter withstood the flood, and is the only building now remaining which was in existence in those early days. Many treasured memories cluster about it and it stands as a link between the present and the years which have sped on into history. The ladies of the Chapter have done well to preserve this ancient structure, and are entitled to the thanks of the community for the time and pains which they have given to its preservation. None of the many cities and towns which now grace this favored land were even thought of when this building was first projected, and it stands indeed as a worthy pioneer of early times in the Colony. It was a work of love which actuated the Daughters in its preservation, and they have the cordial support and approval of the city in the completion of their commendable task. Prominent among the ladies to whom credit for this preservation is due, are Mrs. J. S. Sheridan, M. H. H.Easton, Mrs. Ernest Borchert, Mrs. Beth Singleton, Mrs. L. C. Deming, Mrs. Fred Sidebottom, Miss Mary McLure, and Mrs. John Ritchle. The expense of moving the building to its new site was paid by Peter J. Weisel, and other contributors were Mr. Spencer, who donated the paints at cost, Joseph Lieb, the electric lights, Mr. Lamb, the window shades and linoleum, Frank N. Gibbs, the lumber, Mrs Gruenemay, dozen tea towels, Ed. Benner, who installed the plumbing at cost, and Fritz Martin, who will donate fourteen chairs. Articles displayed include a highboy contributed by Mrs. Louise Backs. It was made by Jurgen Boege in early days and presented to Mrs. Werder mother of Mrs. Backs. Mrs. Dwyer contributed a what-not and two steel engravings. A bookcase, books and oil paintings, formerly the property of Erwin Barr, occupy a prominent place in the display. Mrs. F.C. Benjamin contributed a large rug for the front room. A gas stove has been installed, linoleum placed upon the floor, rooms have been neatly papered, the windows curtained, and dishes and table linen provided for occasional repasts to be served by the ladies. Many other treasured relics have been promised and will soon occupy a place in the building. Mrs. Anna Fischer De Frees of Los Angeles, the first white girl born in Anaheim, will donate her plano. Other relics will be displayed, and those having bits of furniture used by the piloneers are asked to make contributions. Mrs. John H.

It was moved last year to its new site where it will remain open to its new site where it will remain open to the public, with the treasured relics therein displayed. In the year following its erection August Langenberger began work on his two-story adobe building on West Center street, which was occupied by him as the first general merchandising establishment in the Colony. Mr. Langenberger's holdings occupied a wide front on Center street and extended through to Chestnut street on the south. Beside his store building he erected a frame residence on Center street, and in the rear were other adobe and frame buildings and barns for his horses, as he was engaged in an extensive shipping business between the Colony and Anaheim Landing, where vessels from San Francisco brought passengers and freight for this city. His property at that time was one of the most extensive holdings in Southern California. Here many of the notables of early days gathered in their journeyings north, and south through the Colony. Don Abel Stearns, who owned a grant of much of the lands of Southern California visited here on his trips from San Diego to Los Angeles. Here also came Don Juan Forster of San Juan and his sons, and Judge Richard Egan, all of whom were well and favorably known throughout this section. Uncle John Fischer began the erection of the Planters Hotel on the northwest corner of Center and Los Angeles streets and conducted the first hotel here for many years. The building was destroyed by fire; was rebuilt and was later again destroyed by fire. Colonists began arriving from 'San Francisco and soon many residences were in course of erection throughout the Colony. In 1862 the entire valley was inundated by a great flood, and many of the buildings in the Colony were swept away. Among buildings remaining after the flood were Mr. Langenberger's store and other buildings, and Mr. Hansen's headquarters office. Water stood many feet deep linoeum placed upon the floor, the rooms have been neatly papered, the windows curtained, and dishes and table linen provided for occasional repasts to be served by the ladies. Many other treasured relics have been promised and will soon occupy a place in the building. Mrs. Anna Fischer De Frees of Los Angeles, the first white girl born in Anaheim, will donate her piano. Other relics will be displayed, and those having bits of furniture used by the ploneers are asked to make contributions. Mrs. John H. Brunworth contributes portraits of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kroeger, pioneer residents, and a sofa and chair. It is hoped by the Daughters that a large attendance of ladies and gentlemen will be present tomorrow afternoon at the initial opening of this display. The building is probably the oldest now standing in Southern California. Other edifices erected at various points have been razed in the march of time, but this structure, defying the elements, still remains as a link between the present and the past. Memories of bygone times cluster about it. Here the first survey of the townsite was made and maps prepared showing the different lots and thoroughfares. Vineyards and fruit trees were planted, excavated and residences for the ploneers erected. Mr. Hansen did his work well and no man who lived in Southern California when he first came here is held in more affectionate memory. Nearly three-quarters of a century have passed since that time, and those who enter the building at the formal opening will be present not only in the ploneer structure now standing in Southern California, but may look back through the years to the initial stops taken for the establishment of a townsite which has developed into this magnificent city. Yet another span such as this, and one finds oneself with the embattled farmers who by the rude bridge which spans the flood, fired the shot heard around the world. Here were the forebears of these gracious women battling for freedom and independence.

Miss Evans had only been a resident of Anaheim for two weeks, coming here from Los Angeles, and made her home at the El Torre hotel. An overdose of a preparation taken to alleviate pain was declared the probable cause of the death at an inquest held Saturday afternoon at the Backs, Terry and Campbell mortuary. Miss Evans was a hospital technician at the Johnston-Wickett clinic, where she was recently added to the staff. While the substance that caused her death was self-administered, no suicidal motive was uncovered by the jury. Complaining of a headache Thursday night, Miss Evans probably prepared the prescription for relief, according to physicians. She died unexpectedly at the Anaheim sanitarium, where the GENEROUS RAIN DRENCHES ALL SOUTHLAND ANAHEIM GETS OVER INCH AND A HALF IN THE DOWNPOUR Every Section of Orange County Soaked by the Fall, the Southern Section Getting the Lightest End; Anaheim Total for the Season Now is 7.72; Still Considerably Short of Last Year’s Measurement.

Another raid was made by peace officials during the past several days against those law defying citizens, men and women, who have no reverence for the Eighteenth Amendment, the Voltead law, the Wright act, the county ordinance and the cit yordinances, and persist in peddling booze in violation of all these ordinances. This raid covered all of Orange county and was engineered by District Attorney Z. B. West. It was carried out by sheriff's officers, reinforced by police of the various cities. The raid started last Thursday and as all of the malefactors on the list have not yet been apprehended it is still lon. Secret service men, or men under cover, had been engaged for several weeks gathering evidence and had turnd in a list of 49 violators of the law. Armed with this list the officers went forth and began their raid. Most of the bootleggers were caught without warning and had no time to conceal their stock. Up to Tuesday of this week 33 of the 49 listed had been arrested, and the county jail was pretty well crowded. Most of them pleaded guilty, and the fines assessed by Justice Morrison were $500 for selling booze and $300 for possession. The alternative was a day in the county jail for every dollar of the fine. This means that there has been a large increase in the jail population, as only on man was able to pay his fine. A few of them entered a plea of not guilty and they were bound ever to the superior court in the sum of $1,000 each. Only one man in Anaheim was on the list and gathered into the net. He was Juan Berara, charged with selling liquor. This proves that Anaheim is the dryest place in the county. Fines assessed against the prisoners by Justice Kenneth E. Morrison of Santa Ana, had reached $7,000 in 15 cases. Only one defendant, James Doyle of Seal Beach, had paid his $500 fine, the others being forced to start serving their time in jail at the rate of one day for each dollar of the fine. Mrs. Concepcion Gonzales of Santa Ana was freed and the charge against her dismissed, when it was found that she is an invalid. Mrs. Consuelo Saldana of Santa Ana gained her liberty and probation under a suspension of judgment by the court. Fines of $500 each were leveled against James Martinez of Los Alamitos, Antonio Cordova of Placentia, Mario Garay of Delhi, and Francisca Rulz of Fullerton. William R. Hall of Laguna Beach and Harry Barnett of Huntington Beach were fined $200 each. Asserted bootleggers and detectives sat side by side in Justice Morrison's court Tuesday, while nine cases were heard, all of the defendants being held to answer to the superior court. None of the defendants offered any testimony. An overdose of a preparation taken to alleviate pain was declared the probable cause of the death at an inquest held Saturday afternoon at the Backs, Terry and Campbell mortuary. Miss Evans was a hospital technician at the Johnston-Wickett clinic, where she was recently added to the staff. While the substance that caused her death was self-administered, no suicidal motive was uncovered by the jury. Complaining of a headache Thursday night, Miss Evans probably prepared the prescription for relief according to physicians. She died unexpectedly at the Anaheim sanitarium, where the cause of her illness was unknown. Surviving the deceased are a brother and sister, both physicians in a sanitarium at Battle Creek, Mich. Miss Evans was associated many years as a technician with important American hospitals, it was declared. Her body will be sent to Wellsbore, Pa., for interment. Anaheim Rancher Seriously Burned Gasoline Explosion Ignites Man's Clothing and Fires the House Serious injury was sustained by Alexander Egert, rancher, living a mile south of town, when a gasoline explosion early Sunday morning set fire to his clothing. Mr. Egert was cleaning some clothing with gasoline, and it is supposed a gas jet in the room ignited the fumes of the gasoline. In an instant he was enveloped in flames. Crazed by the pain, he rushed out of the house and sprang into an irrigatio nditch, which extinguished the fire. Mrs. Egert, who witnessed the affair, immediately rushed him to the county hospital, where, after an examination, it was reported that he had an even chance to recover. The Anaheim fire department was immediately called, as the house was on fire, the flames from the burning gasoline having set fire to the kitchen. The fire was extinguished before it had communicated with the balance of the house, and the loss was confined to the kitchen. Mr. Egert was burned about the body and head, and is also suffering from shock. Lampost Wrecked By Automobile The lamp post at the southwest corner of Los Angeles and Center streets was totally demolished early Monday morning, when it was struck by a Ford coupe driven by Charles R. Lovette of Los Angeles. The iron post was torn from its base and broken into several pieces, while splintered glass was scattered over the pavement in all directions. The post and its globes were a total loss. According to Mr. Lovette's report to Every Section of Orange County Soaked by the Fall, the Southern Section Getting the Lightest End; Anaheim Total for the Season Now is 7.72; Still Considerably Short of Last Year's Measurement. Coming unexpectedly, without being heralded by the weather man, a rain storm blew in Saturday evening and all Southern California was thoroughly drenched before the downpour ceased Sunday afternoon. The precipitation was pretty uniform throughout Orange county, many of the sections getting over an inch and a half, with the exception of the southern part where it was not so heavy. Every portion of the county, however, was generously dealt with by the rain god. La Habra rain gauges measured a fall of 2.09, but in some sections of the Irvine ranch it was a few points below an inch. Anaheim ranchers are jubilant over the welcome shower, and naturally the entire populace rejoice with them. The fall here was 1.56, making the total for the season 7.72. This is considerably below the total for last year, when at this date it was 11.50. However everybody is confident that this storm will be followed by other bountiful downpours and that the season's total will not fall much short of the normal. The storm began at 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon with a sprinkle and increased in intensity until at periods throughout Saturday night and Sunday there were deluges that equaled the hardest rains of the season. Coming late in the season, the storm is said to be one of the most beneficial of the season. Grain lands were the most benefited and barley that had virtually ceased growing on dry lands will be revived. Bean lands have been placed in excellent condition for plowing in preparation for the coming planting season. Citrus growers will be relieved at least one irrigation it was said. According to reports from various parts of northern Orange county and the districts of Artesla and Norwalk, the storm was impartial in the distribution of its blessings. During the brief period Sunday morning when the rain came down in a veritable deluge in Anaheim, other parts of the district were experiencing similar manifestations. In the Norwalk district a wind of considerable strength was experienced for a brief time, during which trees were uprooted, poles blown down and high tension wires put out of commission. No serious damage was done, however it is reported. The Yorba Linda hillside district, which often suffers from washing when a heavy deluge is experienced, was undamaged in Sunday morning's downfall. Most of the groves had just been plowed and the water was easily snaked up as it fell. The week-end storm, the greatest of the season, sent lagging totals scurrying toward normal rainfall marks.

Lovette of Los Angeles. The iron post was torn from its base and broken into several pieces, while splintered glass was scattered over the pavement in all directions. The post and its globes were a total loss. According to Mr. Lovette's report to the police, he was traveling south on Los Angeles street when a truck driven by O. D. Hartfield of Banning, going west on Center, struck his car and shunted it into the post. The car was turned around and struck the post with its rear end. It was considerably damaged in its encounter with the truck and the post. Mr. Lovette received a few minor injuries. Water Well Driller Killed by Electricity John Ward of Orange avenue, Santa Ana, was killed while working on a water well on Ball road, near Anaheim, late Friday, when a high power line and a steel pipe Ward was holding formed a connection. Ward was rushed to the Anaheim sanitarium, but life was extinct before he arrived there. The body was removed to the Backs, Terry and Campbell parlors in Anaheim. Ward and his fellow workers, realizing the danger of the power line, had exercised care in keeping their drilling equipment from it. The drilling pipe did not touch the line and was more than one foot away when the connection was formed. Ward was an employee of Walter O. Hills, Santa Ana water well contractor. He came here five months ago from Trinidad, Colo. He is survived by his mother and three brothers in Colorado. It's our judgment that Mr. Mussolini is the kind of man who wouldn't permit anybody to do the driving from the back seat. SHOT AT PROWLER A lady living on West Broadway awakened from her slumbers at three o'clock on Wednesday morning by a commotion among her chickens, arose and going to a rear window fired a revolver shot in the direction of the intruder. He beat a hasty retreat and escaped observation. Five hens were found to be missing following moring. The lady has been greatly provoked by night prowlers. One of them was chased several blocks by a police considerable strength was experienced for a brief time, during which trees were uprooted, poles blown down and high tension wires put out of commission. No serious damage was done, however, it is reported. The Yorba Linda hillside district, which often suffers from washing when a heavy deluge is experienced, was undamaged in Sunday morning's downpour. Most of the groves had just been plowed and the water was easily soaked up as it fell. The week-end storm, the greatest of the season, sent lagging totals scurrying toward normal rainfall marks. In Los Angeles 2.49 inches fell, bringing the seasonal total of 10.50 inches compared to a normal of 11.98 and a last year mark of 8.32. The city was flooded at many points and hundreds of automobiles were stalled in low places. At several points automobiles were submerged and the streets were lined with debris and basements flooded. An unusual number of minor traffic accidents occurred. The storm was confined generally to the coast, Imperial Valley reporting no rain. Snowfalls and high winds were recorded in the mountains, and many roads were reported impassable. Two men were buried in an excavation in downtown Los Angeles when the sides collapsed. Felix Meadows, 37, received a skull fracture and Charles Washen, 32, escaped injury. At Vineyard Junction, a small portion of electric railroad track was washed out. While some minor damage was reported the benefits derived from the rain in Southern California can only be measured in millions of dollars.

Strongly commending the members of last year's commission for their unselfish services, the city council in an informal session, approved the appointment by Mayor Louis E. Miller of the new body. Five members of last year's commission were reappointed. The other two members, because of business reasons, declined appointments. Conrad Jongewaard, president; John Newhard, secretary; Charles Pearson, treasurer; David Morris and Leo J. Sheridan, are the men again appointed to the baseball body.

Uncertainty relative to the legality of bonds voted by a majority instead of a two-thirds vote has been created by a statement made by Horace C. Southern Meat Co. Holds Open House Celebrates Installation of $75,-000 in New Equipment and Improvements Celebrating the installation of $75,-000 worth of new equipment and improvements, the Southern Meat Co. will hold open house Sunday, at which the managers expect to entertain hundreds of friends. The entertainment will be an all-day affair, visitors being welcomed both in the forenoon and afternoon. Guides will be on hand to pilot the visitors through the big establishment and explain the details of its workings. Providing a principal source of fresh and cured meats for the retail markets of Orange county and other regions, the huge plant has an importance to its home city only partly realized by local residents. It was pointed out. With costly modern equipment installed throughout the plant during a 12-month program of reconstruction, the Southern Meat company is adequately able to increase its annual production output many times. Chapman said. More than 30,000 hogs from the Middle West, and 7,500 cattle from the inter-mountain states are needed annually to supply the plant, it was declared. Laying of all walls, floors and hallways with concrete is one of the principal modernizing steps that advances the plant ahead of the average meat packing concern. Chapman pointed out. The smooth, unabsorbent surface may be easily kept sanitary. New paint, installation of many skylights and the addition of new machinery have greatly altered the appearance of the plant. The stockyard floors of concrete represent the first modernization step in the meat packing chain. A newly their unselfish services, the city council in an informal session, approved the appointment by Mayor Louis E. Miller of the new body. Five members of last year's commission were reappointed. The other two members, because of business reasons, declined appointments. Conrad Jongewaard, president; John Newhard, secretary; Charles Pearson, treasurer; David Morris and Leo J. Sheridan, are the men again appointed to the baseball body. New members, both of whom have signified their willingness to serve, are Joe C. Elliott and Evan S. A sp. In making the appointments the mayor recognized virtually every service club and fraternal organization that has been actively identified with the lunar pastime in the past. President Jongewaard represents the Y. M. C. A., Newhard the Klwanis club, Pearson the Lions club, Morris the Rotary club, Sheridan the Knights of Columbus, Elliott the American Legion, and Alsip the Anaheim Elks. States That the County Flood Bonds and the Orange County Harbor Bonds Might Be Invalidated by the Court, Because Both Districts Comprise the Entire County; Bond Buyers Would Demand Court Decision. Uncertainty relative to the legality of bonds voted by a majority instead of a two-thirds vote has been created by a statement made by Horace C. Head, one of the county's leading attorneys, and attorney for the Anaheim Union Water Co. His statement had reference to the proposed bond elections for carrying out the Orange county flood control project, and the county harbor work. While Mr. Head does not presume to interpret the law and express a positive opinion, he states that bond buyers would demand a court decision on the legality of the vote, and the court might give an adverse decision. He had consulted with former judge, R. Y. Williams, on the subject, he said, and intimated that Williams was of the opinion that the court might find a flaw in the election which would prevent sale of the bonds. Head's warning will probably result in considerable legal discussion, and the question will probably be settled before the dates of the election. "I am not ready to state that the courts would invalidate the bonds voted under a majority clause, and I do not think anyone can say, one way or the other, in the absence of a court decision on the subject," said Head, "but I think there is a real legal question there." Head explained that the state law required a two-thirds vote for bonds of the state or any political sub-division of the state. The courts have held, however, he said, that special districts created by special acts, are not political sub-divisions of the state in that sense, so that the majority clause ordinarily would not be questioned. Inasmuch as the boundaries of both the local districts are identical with the boundaries of the county, and the improvement proposed might actually be regarded as a county improvement. Head sees a possibility that the courts might regard the creation of the district as a way around the two-thirds vote law. In the event bonds are voted under the majority clause, it might not be possible to sell them until a court decision was had on the point. Head said. His opinion, he pointed out, was "off hand" and he has not yet had time to study the question thoroughly. There is no court decision on the point at present so far as he is aware, Head said.

Stanley has been in the employ of the government at San Francisco for upwards of a year, and his transfer to Washington comes as a distinct advance to him and is in recognition of his great ability in his chosen profession.
