Read it in the Gazette ALL THE LOCAL AND COUNTY NEWS THE GAZETTE CALL SEVEN-TWO VOLUME LX TWO TICKETS WILL BE SOLD NEW CANDIDATES IN FIELD FOR COUNCIL W. P. QUARTON, F. H. GARRISON AND E. M. SCHLOTTER ENTER RACE Chief Issue to be Abolition of City Form of Government; Economy in Expenditures, Naturally One of the Planks, and the Document Demands Employment of Only Citizens of City. Three more candidates have announced their candidacy for the three vacant seats at the council table, and now the merry race is on, and it promises to be a spirited one. For a time it looked like a race. Death Angel Calls Prominent Citizen Major William E. DeSombre Dies Suddenly from Heart Attack Death suddenly summoned Major W. E. DeSombre at his home on East North street Saturday morning. Heart disease from which he had been a sufferer for a number of years, was the cause of his death. He was 63 years of age. Several years ago Major DeSombre purchased a ranch on East North street, and after his retirement from the army he has made his home there. In addition to managing the ranch he has, for the past six years been a teacher of mathematics in the Fremont school. The greater part of Major DeSombre's life was spent in military service. He was born in Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Chicago in 1901 with the degree of bachelor of philosophy. His first military experience was as a corporal in Co. E. Second Wisconsin infantry National guard, and saw service in the Spanish War. Chief Issue to be Abolition of City Form of Government; Economy in Expenditures, Naturally One of the Planks, and the Document Demands Employment of Only Citizens of City. Three more candidates have announced their candidacy for the three vacant seats at the council table, and now the merry race is on, and it promises to be a spirited one. For a time it looked like Fred Koesel, Leo Sheridan and Morris Martenet would have no opposition and would win by default, but the launching of three opposing candidates will probably arouse the apathetic citizen and impel him to register so he may be qualified to take a hand and assist the men of his choice on the 14th of April. The newly nominated candidates are W. P. Quarton, Fred H. Garrison and E. M. Schlotter, all old and well known residents. In entering the race they inject an issue into it, and it is one that all citizens are interested in and probably will bring out one of the heaviest votes ever cast at a municipal election. Their platform denounces the city manager form of government and demands its abolishment. Of course economy 'is one of the planks in the platform, and it favors the filling of all city jobs with local people. There are yet five weeks before the 14th of April when the voters will decide who shall govern the city, and in that time it is expected that all the issues involved will be thoroughly threshed out for the education of those in whose hands the decision lies. The platform on which the new candidates are pinning their hopes is, in part, as follows: First, we believe that the city manager form of government should be abolished, and the faith and confidence of the people be reposed in those men who head each department of our city government, restoring to them full responsibility as to the affairs of their respective departments, and asking them only to answer to the direct representatives of the citizens of Anaheim, your board of trustees. Second, we believe that the people of Anaheim are competent to manage, conduct and carry in the affairs of our city, and towards that end we believe that all employees should be selected from the men and women of our city. Third, we believe that no local improvement should be forced upon the people, but should only be considered at the wish of a majority of those upon whom the burden of paying for it lies. Fourth, we believe that the expenditures of the funds of our city should be made upon a sound business basis and commensurate with our need to the end that the people may receive for each dollar spent one hundred cents of needed value.

After his graduation he enlisted in the artillery corps of the regular army, being commissioned a second lieutenant and six years later was advanced to first lieutenant. Afterward he was made a captain in the artillery, and when America entered the World War was sent across the sea as a lieutenant colonel in the quartermaster department, being assigned to the important post at Brest, France, and afterward transferred to Winchester, England, and placed in charge of the post there.

BUDDY BEHEADED BY AFRICAN WARRIOR LOCAL MAN AT BURBANK FILMING MOVIE PICTURE IN WAR DRAMA Member of Crown Prince's Army Attacking Verdon; Wounded While on Patrol Duty Before Lines, Taken Prisoner; Fought in World War Ten Days; Prisoner Four Years.

Stroup Bar across the was much ments of t tab on the ably the for homes at appearance March, never cannot ext prompt in home on th This year break in t states that the first o later one lo took posses Through the munificence of Mrs. Marie Horstman Dwyer a beautiful gray granite monument has been erected at the cemetery in memory of the Pioneers now at rest there. It stands at the center of the cemetery, where the cross roads intersect, and where the tank and pumping plant previously stood. It can be plainly seen through the archway and adds greatly to the beauty of its surroundings. Being now under perpetual care, the burial grounds have been transformed into a lovely spot, with green lawns, trees and flowers blossoming everywhere. Mrs. Dwyer has done more than probably any other resident of the city to bring about this beautiful transformation, and has given much of her time and money to this end. She has been in close association with others proposing these changes, but as one after another failed to respond with necessary funds she decided to go ahead herself and the tall gray granite shaft is the result of the liberality of her purse. The honor is hers. Diffident about conversing upon the subject, she has very little to say concerning it but her foreseen and munificence speak for themselves. She has placed the entire community under lasting obligations to her. The monument stands twenty feet high, its base being three feet tapering to two feet at the top. It is surmounted by an urn of the same material. Entwined about the urn appropriately are bunches of grapes and leaves of the vine. It weighs nine tons. The shaft occupies an area of sixteen square feet. On each of the four sides three granite steps lead up to the pedestal. About the base of the monument is a wreath of vine leaves. On the south side of the shaft is the inscription: ANAHEIM FOUNDED 1857 To the memory and in appreciation Of those who Pioneered that Posterity May enjoy the fruits of their efforts. Erected by one of their Daughters Marie Horstman Dwyer 1930 On the north side there is a couplet from Whittler: "The voices of today are dumb Unheard the sounds that go and come We listen through long, lapsing years To footsteps of the Pioneers." —Whittler. Nearby are the graves of the donor's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick R. Horstman and his stepfather Frederick A. Korn, held in fondest memory by all. Round about the forefathers of the hamlet sleep. Deep be their slumbers and their memory green! It was designed by Mrs. Dwyer, and was made by sculptors in Los Angeles. It is a magnificent work of art and stands as a testimonial to one who is and ever will be held in highest esteem by the entire community. No one can say too much of the munificence of this lovely daughter of the Pioneers. It is a monument to her as well as to the memory of those whom it fondly commemorates. Tread soft, kind sirs, tread soft. For Arcady lies just beyond! Member of Crown Prince's Army Attacking Verdon; Wounded While on Patrol Duty Before Lines, Taken Prisoner; Fought in World War Ten Days; Prisoner Four Years. Alvin Trabert, who has been a resident here for two years past, is at Burbank for a week or more assisting in the filming of a war picture, in which one hundred airplanes engage in a thrilling aerial battle. He has a speaking part, and will appear in several interesting scenes. Trabert was an infantryman in the Crown Prince's army attacking Verdon in 1916, when he was 18 years old. He left his home in Meinlingen February 16th and proceeded with German troops to Metz, where his command debarked and marched on Verdon. He was assigned to patrol duty in advance of the lines. His job being to cut French telephone wires, for which he was provided a large pair of shears, and to locate the enemy. He was wounded in the right hand by a fragment of a grenade at 1 o'clock in the morning ten days after being at the front. The sky was lighted with flares from both sides and in the furious cannonade in progress he did not know he was wounded until two hours thereafter when he found his clothing saturated with blood. Rations had been delivered to him and one hundred comrades rather intermittently, and he thirsted for water. While crawling cautiously forward, he and his comrades were surrounded by three hundred black warriors who sprang from a dugout immediately ahead. They were made prisoners of war. He had been on patrol duty for ten days. Weak from loss of blood and famishing with hunger he fell unconscious. Two hours thereafter he regained consciousness in an improvised hospital. The evening of following day at eight o'clock while standing with a number of his comrades outside the hospital he saw one of the black warriors draw a large knife, and approaching a prisoner standing near literally beheaded him. The infuriated African advanced toward Trabert to assault him, when a number of black men standing by interfered, saying that he was only a boy and declaring that his black hair indicated that he was no German. Trabert's grandfather was of French extraction. His black hair probably saved his life. The prisoners were taken to Romans in the south of France, where Trabert remained two years making boxes for the shipment of hand grenades to the front. He was permitted to write a card home once a week and a letter once a month. His parents sent him clothing which was delivered through Switzerland by the Red Cross. He was well treated in prison. After two years he was transferred to the front where he was engaged in doing carpenter work. In February 1920, he was exchanged and proceeded to Dusseldorf, whence he went to his home in Meinlingen. He has an honorable discharge and possesses a small experience during this time.

Seven auto accidents over the week end were reported in Orange county, and the casualty list showed one man dead and nine others injured. Not a single Anahelmer was recorded in the list of mishaps, although hundreds of cars from this city were on the highways, carrying loads of people on their weekly outings. Alton Flagg, 65, retired, a resident of Midway City, was instantly killed at 7:30 o’clock Sunday night on Huntington Beach Boulevard, when he was run down by an automobile driven by Leo Koppel, of Huntington Beach. The accident occurred in front of a garage and service station and is said to have been witnessed by several persons. It was stated that Flagg suddenly stepped out in front of the Koppi machine, and was struck before the car could be stopped. Koppel was on his way to Huntington Beach at the time.

EMILY Number 23 R COUNCIL SEATS City Hall Birds Fail to Appear On Schedule Time Everybody, especially those living in the east part of town, have noticed the martins that annually spend their summers in the coping of the city hall, but migrate to the southern latitude when signs of the winter season appear. The martin is a member of the swallow family and always builds his home under the eaves of a house or barn. A. E. Curren employed in the Stroup Barnes Furniture Store, just across the street from the city hall, was much interested in the movements of these birds and has kept tab on them. He says that invariably the four birds that made their homes at the city hall, made their appearance on the first day of March, never missing that date. He cannot explain why they were so prompt in reaching their summer home on that particular date. This year, however, there was a break in the schedule. Mr. Curren states that they did not appear on the first of March, but a few days later one lone martin fluttered in and took possession of one of the nests. PLEDGE SUPPORT TO VALENCIA SHOW MANAGERS OF SOUTHLAND PACKING HOUSES WILL COOPERATE Great Show Expected to be Far Superior to Last Ye ar's Exhibition, and to Register a Larger Attendance than Ever Before; Tents to be Erected April 24th, Manager Reid States; Many Speakers Heard at Dinner. Directors of the Orange Show were hosts at a dinner Tuesday night to managers of various citrus houses in the Southland and heard pledges of Offer Water Land To the County Supervisors Given First Chance on Tract Sought by City of Long Beach Owners of a tract of water bearing land in this county which the city of Long Beach has been negotiating for in order to drain water from the Santa Ana river basin for use in the beach city, appeared before the supervisors Tuesday and offered the tract of 800 acres lying between Cypress and Los Alamitos to the county for $800,000. Long Beach is willing to pay that price, but the owners are giving this county the first chance. The group, including John C. Hamm Los Angeles attorney, G. G. Priddy, a member of a real estate firm at Cypress, and Alfred Hanson, one of the principal land holders in the district, for whom Hamm acted as spokesman, advised the members of the board that they felt the sale of their property to Long Beach would be the least damaging to Orange county of any of the other sites which it is reported Long Beach is considering. The other sites include some acreage between Santa Ana and Costa Mesa and another location in Riverside county further toward the source of the Santa Ana river. Hamm read a clipping from a Long Beach paper which stated that the Long Beach city council was making an inspection of the three sites. Hamm stated that the group he represented had been working on the matter for some time and had consolidated the holdings of numerous small pieces of property, that they were desirous of selling the land but that they wanted to put all their cards face up before the county authorities before taking action. He stated that they had made a proposition to Long Beach but that no option had been delivered. The land is priced at an average of $1000 per acre, it was said. The promise to give the Orange county body or any association interested, refusal, of the property before completing the deal with Long Beach, was taken home by Mr. Curren states that they did not appear on the first of March, but a few days later one lone martin fluttered in and took possession of one of the nests. It is a disconsolate and lonesome bird and is worried because disaster has possibly overtaken its companions. Great Show Expected to be Far Superior to Last Ye ar's Exhibition, and to Register a Larger Attendance than Ever Before; Tents to be Erected April 24th, Manager Reid States; Many Speakers Heard at Dinner. Directors of the Orange Show were hosts at a dinner Tuesday night to managers of various citrus houses in the Southland and heard pledges of support from everyone of them. Twenty-five persons, nearly all of whom are connected with the business, pledged themselves to give the show their heartiest support. H. N. White, president of the Chamber of Commerce, introduced W. H. Schureman, manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association as chairman of the meeting. That all the people of Southern California interested in the industry will give it hearty support was indicated by the speeches made. W. H. Blodget of the Mutual Orange Distributors at Redlands asserted that his organization would extend its exhibit in the rack displays, if the show management deems it necessary. A like pledge was given by Robert Strain, representing the American Fruit Growers. Growers and packing house managers were united in their praises of the benefits derived from the advertising provided by the exhibit. A brief history of the show with mention of the difficulties it has encountered and conquered was given by George W. Reid, manager of the exhibit. "The orange show has paid off all its debts with the exception of the original $20,000 guarantee made when the exhibit was started in 1921," said Reid. "In addition it has between $16,000 and $17,000 invested in improvements and equipment." "During the past year the orange show obtained more than 45,000 column inches of publicity for the valencia orange. This publicity has extended as far as Germany and Africa, and is of a nature that could not be purchased." Each year we have expanded the show and made it better. We believe that we presented the best show last year in the entire series, and we are going to give a still better show this year. "We hope that we can open the snow with united front on the part of Orange county. The great tent used by the show last year will be erected on the grounds April 24, Mr. Reid said. Dr. H. A. Johnston, former president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, commended Mr. Reid as "the outstanding man in the show pageant business in Southern California. The success of the orange show is largely the result of the ability and the unceasing effort of Mr. Reid.

The promise to give the Orange county body or any association interested, refusal, of the property before completing the deal with Long Beach, was made in answer to a question by Supervisor Charles Chapman, who asked if they would consider such a move. New Officers of Anaheim Toasties The Toasties club at the weekly meeting Friday installed new officers for the coming six months. The new officers are Mrs. Muriel Faris, president; Mrs. Lena Jane Frils, vice president; Mrs. Mary Middleton, secretary, and Mrs. Mildred Allen, treasurer. Mrs. Phoebe Jongewaard was the main speaker of the evening, her subject being "Women Reformers." In her talk she mentioned Susan B. Anthony and Ann Hutchinson. A talk was given by Mrs. Rose Wood which was a humorous comment on the woman who had been her art teacher in college. Mrs. Myrtle Hannah was the critic for the evening. The outgoing president, Mrs. Wood, who is soon to leave for an extended visit in the south, was presented with a basket of flowers by Mrs. M. D. Falconer, toastmaster of the evening. Anaheim W. R. C.

Dr. H. A. Johnston, former president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, commended Mr. Reid as "the outstanding man in the show pageantry business in Southern California. The success of the orange show is largely the result of the ability and the unceasing effort of Mr. Reid. The exhibit is a non-profit undertaking designed to increase the value of the valencia orange, Leonard Evans, another former president of the chamber, said. Through publicity gained by the show, Donald Bangs, publicity director for the exhibit, said he hopes to see the orange-eating public demanding the California Valencia to the exclusion of all other oranges. He said that the annual championship packing contest should prove beneficial to house managers in developing better and faster packers. Included among others called on for brief talks were William Schumacher, county supervisor, Lotus H. Loudon, LeRoy Lyon, Ted Kuchel, G. W. Sandilands, Glen Wiley, H. H. Benjamin, J. Frank Hixon, Charles Pearson, H.E.W. Barnes, Ben Cole and Ralph McFadden. Pressel, Mrs. Frances Morey, and Mrs. Emily Loneous.
