No Fatalities in Auto Accidents Week End Toll in County Much Smaller Than Usual Although the roads of Orange county have been more slippery during the past several days than at any time in the past 12 months, automobile accident over the week end were fewer than at anytime in the past year, according to reports made to authorities.

Although an important election will be held next Tuesday little has been said about it and probably many people have forgotten the date. On that date, Tuesday, January 21st, electors of the Anaheim high school district will decide whether or not Anaheim shall be annexed to the Fullerton junior high school district, and thus abandon our hope of a county-wire institution which would in all probability be located on a site adjacent to the fair grounds and outside the jurisdiction of any municipality. The dinner Friday night was given by the Parent-Teachers' association, and the guests were representatives of the high school, elementary school and Chamber of Commerce. J. A. Clayes, principal of the high school, was the principal after-dinner speaker, and although his address was not supposed to be an argument favoring either side of the proposition, but a mere presentation of facts it convinced all who heard him that it would be a grave mistake on the part of the voters of this district to permit themselves to be absorbed by the Fullerton junior college district. Clayes quoted figures to show that if Anaheim and the Brea-Olinda districts, which will vote on the same issue January 21, all join the Fullerton junior college district the combined assessed valuation of all three would be much less than that of the Santa Ana junior college district to the south, were Anaheim to join that. "Anaheim's assessed valuation is $17,730,990 and that combined with Fullerton and Brea-Olinda would aggregate $63,673,920." Clayes said. "With Anaheim included the southern district would have an assessed valuation of $122,331,480." "A large school district has more money to spend and therefore can obtain better instructors and equipment and can offer a wider variation of courses. Fullerton needs money for new buildings and wants to increase its assessed valuation by annexing Anaheim Union high school district." Although Clayes carefully avoided making a definite statement either for or against the annexation his advice to his audience that Anaheim await further developments of the junior college issue in the county conveyed the impression that the principal favors the district to the south. The question is still too unsettled in the county to prophesy what will happen in the future, he said. "Fullerton has no more to offer Anaheim in the way of a junior college than has Santa Ana," Clayes asserted. "But Anaheim cannot legally enter the southern area until annexation of either the Huntington Beach, Garden Grove or Orange county's account on the books of the State of California was written off as "Paid in Full" by State Controller Riley this week as a result of the county's semi-annual settlement with the state. Of the total of $71,561.20 turned over to the state by the county, inheritance tax payments represented $60,688.92, Riley reported. During the period covered by the settlement, the 58 counties of California collected a grand total of $7,142,964.87 in inheritance taxes. This accounted for the bulk of $7,805,622.27 paid by the various county treasurers in their settlement with the state. The United States has the lowest inheritance tax rate in the world, accordingly to Riley. California's rate, incidentally, compares very favorably with that of other states, and has had have been seriously hurt.

She was taken to the Santa Ana Valley hospital unconscious from a blow on the head, and is believed also to have a fractured hip. Her husband, driver of the car, was cut and bruised. The baby escaped injury. The Carter machine collided with a car driven by Samuel Pelaya, of Torrance, who was riding with Ruben Brodiesco, 22, also of Torrence. Both men were cut and bruised. They were taken to the Orange county hospital. A woman who gave the name of A. Gonzales, of Riverside, was reported injured when the automobile in which she was riding skidded on the wet pavement into a car driven by M. B. Downey, of Los Angeles, in the Santa Ana canyon, six miles this side of the Riverside county line. She was taken to the Corona community hospital and is not believed to be seriously hurt. Five people were injured when two cars crashed a few miles north of San Clamente on Sunday morning.

The question is still too unsettled in the county to prophesy what will happen in the future, he said. "Fullerton has no more to offer Anaheim in the way of a junior college than has Santa Ana," Clayes asserted. "But Anaheim cannot legally enter the southern area until annexation of either the Huntington Beach, Garden Grove or Orange districts places it in a position contiguous to Santa Ana." The principal called attention to the movement in the southern part of the county to form a large junior college district. "Anaheim is a real plum for either the Fullerton or Santa Ana districts," Clayes said in answering a question from the audience. The questioner asked Clayes if it were not possible for Anaheim to be left out of both districts if it continued in a neutral position as far as annexation is concerned. M. A. Gauer, superintendent-of the Anaheim intermediate schools, and George W. Reid, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, each made a short talk following Mr. Clayes' address. Mr. Gauer stated that it would be wiser for Anaheim to wait for an opportunity to join a larger district as more money would be available for providing proper instruction to the students. Mr. Reid declared that eventually Orange county would be all embodied in one city and that only one junior college would be maintained. Many people are working for the establishment of a county-wide college now. There will be very little on the ballot at next Tuesday's election. Only one mark by the rubber stamp is necessary to commit you either as backing or opposing Fullerton in her scheme to annex our assessment roll to hers for the support of her school. The ballot reads: "For annexation to Fullerton Junior College District of Orange County—Yes." "For annexation to Fullerton Junior College District of Orange County—No." Don't be a slacker. Go to the polls next Tuesday and vote no. Of the total of $71,561.20 turned over to the state by the county, inheritance tax payments represented $60,688.92, Riley reported. During the period covered by the settlement, the 58 counties of California collected a grand total of $7,142,964.87 in inheritance taxes. This accounted for the bulk of the $7,805,622.27 paid by the various county traurers in their settlement with the state. The United States has the lowest inheritance tax rate in the world, accordingly to Riley. California's rate, incidentally, compares very favorably with that of other states, and has had the result of attracting many wealthy yersons to this state. Aggregate collections by all the counties for the various functions of the state were as follows: Property tax, $2,587.11; sale o flax deeded lands, $204.99; support of Whittier State School for Boys, $45,038.10; Ventura State School for Girls, $20,823.75; Preston School of Industry, $84,-435.80; Sonoma State Home for Feeble-Minded, $318,657.02; Pacific Colony, $39,746.57; School land—principal, $-363.02; interest, $17,846.77; penalties, $975.31; estates of deceased persons, $54.00; narcotics patients at the State Narcotics Home at Spadra and other state institutions, $22,851.12. Los Angeles led the counties of the state in inheritance tax collections, with a total of $3,353,404.39. Alpine, California's "baby county" was the lowest in the state, showing $7.60 collected from heirs to property and money. PADRE RICARD EXPLAINS Father Jerome Ricard, Santa Clara "Padre of the Rains," whose purported weather report for January predetting no rain for the month has damaged his reputation as a prophet, is moved to rise in self defense. The Padre declares that the January prognostication broadcasted under his name was not his but the work of a student, who withheld the veteran scientist's report and substituted his own. Out of regard for the student and his family, the padre sealed his lips and shouldered the blame himself, but finding his reputation as a prophet was about to vanish he finally made this explanation. He still refuses to make known the name of the student. Herbert Hoover minister: Instruct throughout buildings. In recommendable a sub-station also stated that it would be necessary "You and your familiar with this It is not only a adequate, bringing of transporting forth from San Francisco county jail during which is a good times, prisoners offences because to place them inside and contract these."

Statements submitted by city clerk Merritt and city Treasurer Boege to the council, Tuesday night showed that the city is financially in a healthy condition. In the general fund the balance In advance of its regular report, which will, no doubt, be voluminous, the grand jury issued a partial report Monday, making certain recommendations. It was specifically stated that these recommendations were not in the nature of criticism but merely for the purpose of assisting in making various reform that the jurors deemed necessary. The schools of the county and the jail system were the chief topics discussed. While the schools were nearly all in excellent condition some needed improvements were pointed out. The report also stated that the county jail was wholly inadequate at present and urgently recommended the establishment of a sub-station at San Juan Capistrano. Recommendations for school improvements were as follows: Health department; Give close called to bad sanitary condition of toilet bowls at Bolsa school. Santa Ana Board of Education: Muddy condition of grounds of Delhi school should be eliminated by covering with rock screenings. Orange School Board: Recommends improvements necessary to safeguard the health and welfare of the school children be made; toilets in bad condition; building of the Lydia Killifer school; Orange or a new building erected. The committee's report on this school states: "need new building, need more class rooms." Orange School Board: Provide adequate fire protection on the stage of the Intermediate school. Stanton School Board: Improve sanitary conditions and provide additional room and comforts. Savanna School Board: Recommend action taken at once to get gas mains extended so heat can be provided in school rooms. "We understand you have endeavored to have these mains extended and have met difficulty because of high cost and lack of funds in your budget for that purpose. Why not present your problem to the grand jury? They may be able to aid you." Central School Board: Instill modern toilet bowls in both latrines of school. Buena Park School Board: Keep Grand avenue school and grounds in cleaner conditions and repair drinking fountain. Herbert Hoover School Board, Westminster: Install fire extinguishers throughout building. In recommending the establishment of a sub-station at San Juan the jury also stated that a new jail at that town would be necessary. "You and your body are no doubt familiar with the condition of this jail. It is not only a fire trap but totally inadequate, bringing about the necessity of transporting prisoners back and forth from San Juan Capistrano to the county jail during the course of hearth. The following newly elected officers were formally installed: William erling, Junior deacon; Thomas D. Kohlenberger, master; Hugo Schulk, senior warden; Arthur Shipkep, junior warden; Henry Hansen, treasurer; W. L. Birkel, secretary; Ewald Schulz, senior deacon; E. R.

Hoover Entertained by Mrs. Easton Mrs. Theodore Hoover, State Regent of the Daughters of the Revolution and sister-in-law of President Hoover, was this week the honored guest of the Mother Colony Chapter. She expressed herself as delightful with the Pioneer House and commended the members for preserving and cherishing such a richly historical place. In her address she told of the importance of the organization to the government, Calvin Coolidge calling it in his annual address, "the third line of defense." The D.A.R.is a department of the U.S.Government's records being incorporated in the Congressional and Smithsonian reports. Mrs. Hoover brought renewed interest and inspiration to broaden the scope of the work. In spite of the downpour there was practically a 100 per cent attendance. Mrs. L.C.Deming and Mrs.L.B.Easton were hostesses. Mrs.Hoover was Mrs.Easton's house guest for her stay.

Statements submitted by city clerk Merritt and city Treasurer Boege to the council,Tuesday night showed that the city is financially in a healthy condition.In the general fund the balance on December 4 was $89,388.03.On December 4 the general fund balance was $88,217.54,and during that month $32,891.03 was collected.Warrants for $31,691.03 were paid leaving a balance at present of $89,388.03. As usual Anaheim did not suffer any considerable loss from fires during the past year, according to the annual report of Fire chief Nyboe.Fifty-seven calls were answered but the total loss was only $2,575.Eleven of these were out of town. City Recorder Eldon W. Stark reported 39 cases in his court during December,and fines aggregating $947 were collected. Chief of Police J.S.Bouldin reported 32 licenses issued during December and fees collected amounted to $479.30.Nine dog licenses were sold durring the month. According to the report of Miss Elizabeth Calnion there was a balance in the library fund at the beginning of the year of $16,170.89. Deputy City Comptroller W.J.Lake reported that during December $21,164.82 for light,水和 power.Of this total $12,578.24 was collected for light,$3292.53 was for power,and $5293.05 for water. An ordinance ordering property zoning on both sides of Palm street was read for the first time and will be adopted at the next regular meeting of the council. Lincoln avenue is to be widened 20 feet on the north side.The present width of the avenue is 60 feet.The entire Lincoln avenue project calls for pavement and new lights. Acquisition of land for the widening is to be carried out under the Mattison act while construction of pavement and the like will proceed under the 1911 street improvement act, according to City Manager John Price. Figures prepared by City Engineer E.P.Hapgood show that the entire cost of the Lincoln avenue development will approximate $46,000.Of this amount $25,000 will be used for land acquisition and $21,000 for pavement and other construction costs. Council adopted a resolution setting 8 p.m.,January 28 as the time for a hearing upon the proposed issuance of bonds to provide $39,274.85,must be deposited in superior court to obtain immediate possession of land necessary for widening Center street between Palm and West streets. The hearing will take place in the council chamber in the city hall.City Attorney George H.Holden submitted Herbert Hoover School Board, Westminster: Install fire extinguishers throughout building. In recommending the establishment of a sub-station at San Juan the jury also stated that a new jail at that town would be necessary. "You and your body are no doubt familiar with the condition of this jail. It is not only a fire trap but totally inadequate, bringing about the necessity of transporting prisoners back and forth from San Juan Capistrano to the county jail during the course of hearing, which is a costly procedure. Many times, prisoners are released on minor offenses because officials are reluctant to place them in the jail on one hand and contract the expense on the other. This section is also developing and its population rapidly increasing and represents an important district under the supervision of the sheriff's office which cannot be properly served from a point as far removed as the central offices in Santa Ana. "It is estimated that a building of proportions large enough to care for the county offices mentioned could be erected at a cost, the interest on which would not be greater than is expended on rents at the present time." The report also says: 1. That the sheriff and chief jailor make a personal investigation of the Los Angeles county jail and familiarize themselves with the system there in force regarding management of that institution, with particular regard to the trusts tank and handling of trusties. 2. That the sheriff's office furnish a daily report to the district attorney's office of all prisoners held in the county jail, with particular regard to the prisoners held awaiting trial, showing the charge upon which they are being held and by what officer they were arrested. 3. That the sheriff make a special notation in the cases of all prisoners sentenced, in whose case the court has ordered that they be employed on county years ago after making his home in Anaheim for six years. Surviving the deceased are his wife, Mrs. Lulu Bell Hodges, and six children, Jack, Lillo, Ledburr, Al Gill and Patsy; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Hodges, of Pomona, three sisters, Mrs. Mamie Show, of Anaheim; Mrs. Bessle Webber, of Huntington Park; Mrs. Ruth Summers, of Flordia; and five brothers, Lois Hodges of Pomona; Henry of Pomona; Warren of Compton; formerly of Anaheim; Denver, of Azusa, and Willard, of Lynwood. Professor Osborn, noted scientist, says that man is fifty million years old and is no kin of the ape. And we suspect that the ape will be glad to learn that he is not related to some of us. Work, so that the per diem allowance fixed by the court for this work may be earned. 4. That the sheriff take every opportunity to familiarize himself and his officers with the honor system now effectively in force in the Los Angeles county jail, with a view to its application to the Orange county jail." To the supervisors it was recommended: 1. That the board make a personal investigation of conditions in Los Angeles county jail with a view to the possibility of installing an honor system of prison management in the Orange county jail. 2. That the board seriously consider the benefits to be derived by the establishment of a working camp for honor prisoners to which they can be taken each day such prisoners to have special consideration in jail quarters, meals, etc. And further, that the board use every possible opportunity to employ prisoners at county work. 3. That the board consider the desirability of covering the inner court of the jail with a suitable screening to prevent escape, so that a more effective use of this outdoor court may be made. An audit of the books of Placentia and San Clemente is ordered by the grand jury "to ascertain the extent of certain irregularities known to exist in the accounts of these cities and to impress upon them the importance of installing adequate bookkeeping systems." Word has been received by Francis Cuttle, President of the Water Conservation Association, that water in Santa Ana river has reached the Chapman Street Bridge, Orange county, and the Association will proceed immediately to spread water on the debris cone at the base of the mountains. The water is clear, showing that very little snow has yet run off, and will be in good condition to spread and sink. Water has risen in wells of the River-side Water Company, in the Santa Ana River bottom six feet during the past week. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, advocates selective law observance, but the Columbia student who tries it on the college rules will probably get kicked out in the same old-fashioned way.

Officers Probing Murder Mystery Man Found Dead at Mouth of River Was Shot The sinister stamp of murder was placed today upon what had seemed a fatal accident, with an autopsy bringing the surprise discovery of a bullet lodged in the neck of an unidentified Mexican whose body was found late Monday in a discarded sewer pipe near the mouth of the Santa Ana river. Authorities believed they are confronted by another Patterson case—murder followed by an unsuccessful attempt to burn the victim. The parallel appears to end there, however, as the fact that the present victim was to all appearance an impoverished Mexican tramp leaves the authorities at a loss for a motive. Until Dr. E. W. Took, county autopsy surgeon, performed the operation at the county morgue and discovered a rifle bullet lodged in the seventh vertebra of the spine, officers had supposed that the man had been asphyxiated by smoke or fumes from a fire built in the sewer pipe, one end of which had been board- GREAT FUTURE IS PREDICTED FOR COUNTY DR. WILSON FRITCH PICTURES BIG GROWTH IN COMING YEARS Likens Orange County to the Famed Riviera of Southern Europe, Where Hundreds of Millions of American Dollars Are Annually Spent; Declares Southern California Will Have 15,000,000 People in a Few Years.

Orange coun- Likens Orange County to the Famed Riviera of Southern Europe, Where Hundreds of Millions of American Dollars Are Annually Spent; Declares Southern California Will Have 15,000,000 People in a Few Years. Dr. Wilson Fritch broadcasted an enthusiastic eulogy of Orange county over the radio Monday night. Orange county's future was the subject of his address, and following are some extracts from it: "We have considered the natural features, resources, attainments and beauty of Orange county; what about its future? The role of a prophet is precarious but I think we all agree that what is now in Orange county is only the foundation of what will be. We are guaranteed in this belief by the natural circumstances, the permanence of its resources, and the quality of its people. Most of us are pioneers and have found a new field here in which we have been able to utilize our experience of the past; and we all expect that our children who grow up in these delightful circumstances will excel us. For this we have the warrant of Aristole who said "The land that produces luscious fruits and beautiful flowers will also produce strong men and gracious women." After the severe weather the sun continues to serve us. "In my boyhood in Ohio an orange was considered a suitable Christmas gift; now it is considered one of the most valuable foods, so of the walnut and the avocado will surely come into its own. We note a parallel between Orange county and Los Angeles. Not so many years ago there were several growing towns which have now united forming the world-famous city of Los Angeles, with its 1,400,000 people. "Here in Orange county we have already the quartet, Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana, and I hope they are all singing in harmony. For more than a generation a strip of land on the north coast of the Mediterranean has been the playground of the world, that stretches from the old city of Nice in France eastward to Spezia in Italy. It is sheltered by the mountains to the north, so enjoying a delightful climate. It is said that Americans annually spend $500,000,000 at the watering places of Europe, mostly on the Riviera. We have our Riviera—it stretches from Santa Monica to San Diego, the very choice part of it being located in Orange county." "This is the only coast line in the United States comparable with the Riviera of Europe. We have fine seaside resorts in the north part of the Atlantic coast but the rigor of the climate restricts their use to a few months of the year. The south coast of the Atlantic the seasons are reversed, the resorts are enjoyable a few months of the winter. The coast line of Orange county is enjoyable 12 months of the year. The average winter temperature of the Mediterranean Riviera is 49 degrees." The Anaheim Japanese Free Methodist congregation, which is under the pastorate of Rev. Y. Shigekawa, will dedicate its new church building at 1024 N. Palm street, on Sunday, January 19, at 2:30 o'clock, and an invitation is extended to everybody to be present. Bishop G. W. Griffith with deliver the dedicatory sermon. Following is the program: Congregational Singing, led by W. A. Penner. Scripture Reading, Rev. George B. French. Prayer, Dr. Thomas H. Walker, pastor of Anaheim Presbyterian Church. Song, by Quartette. History of work, Clyde J. Burnett. Song, Anaheim Y. P. S. Group of Anaheim Japanese Church. Dedicatory Sermon, Bishop G. W. Griffith. Demonstration, by Anaheim Japanese Sunday School. Song, by Quartette. Benediction. Merchants Accept Counterfeit Bills Three counterfeit $20 bills were passed on merchants in this city Saturday afternoon by alman who wore grease-smeared clothes and passed as a garage worker. The Safeway store on East Center street, The O. K. Grocery and the Eastside Market were the victims. Mrs. Ed. Okomoto of the O. K. Grocery was suspicious of the bill because of its dirty appearance, but the man explained that he worked in a garage consequently his hands were often greasy. Ed. Villiloros, of the Eastside market, told the police that he could identify the man if he caught site of him. Police Chief Bouldin said the counterfeit was a clumsy initiative of the genuine bill. He has notified U. S. secret service officers at Los Angeles and will be assisted in his search for the man by one of Uncle Sam's officers. The governor of Delaware invited the entire state to the governor's New Year ball. Doubtless if the whole state attended it was what would be called in social circles a mixed crowd. This is the only coast line in the United States comparable with the Riviera of Europe. We have fine seaside resorts in the north part of the Atlantic coast but the rigor of the climate restricts their use to a few months of the year. The south coast of the Atlantic seasons are reversed, the resorts are enjoyable a few months of winter. The coast line of Orange county is enjoyable 12 months of the year. The average winter temperature of the Mediterranean Riviera is 49 degrees. I would say the average winter temperature is 10 degrees higher. John Steven McGroarty says of our shore line, "This shining shore of the sunset sea is our Riviera," and the old Riviera of the Mediterranean will soon appear plain and common compared with ours. In another decade the coast line from Santa Barbara to Santa Diego will be vibrant with the voices of happy people by day and a blaze of lights by night from one end to the other. "Let us now take a larger survey of the region: Take Dana Point as a center with a radius of 75 miles run down to the Mexican line, 75 miles north, including Los Angeles, 75 miles east including San Bernardino; with a radius of 75 miles draw a semi-circle, you include in that semi-circle 264 prosperous towns in the state of California containing one-half of the population of the entire state and one-half its wealth, but only 6½ per cent of its area. This shows the intensiveness of the development of this region. To read the history of these cities and towns sounds like reading stories from the Arabian Nights. About 40 years ago E.H. Harriman, the railroad magnate, prophesied that Southern California, which is substantially comprised in the area herein sketched, would be the most densely populated region of the world. Wise men are now predicting that California will have a population of 30 million. It the same ratio will obtain we shall then have in this region 15,000,000 people. Is this too much for your faith? Consider the foundation and the immense and increasing migration of Americans to Southern California." Our slogan now is, get the tariff bill out of the Senate by Easter.
