Mother Guilty of Neglecting Girl Sent to Hospital for Observation; Father to Face Same Charges, May Be Deported Mrs. Josie Ebarguarry, 31, of San Juan Capistrano, was found guilty in Judge John Landell's court Tuesday of neglecting her seven-year-old daughter Mary, and sent to a hospital where she will be under observation for 10 days. In the meantime, Mary remains at the hospital, where she is being treated for rickets, scabbles and many other diseases largely attributable to malnutrition, and her father, whom Judge Landell termed "equally guilty" with the mother in neglecting the girl, is remaining home from his work at a packing house to care for six of the eight children. The three-week old infant is with its mother.

Backs of the Orange County Old Timers this week announced that the annual picnic-reunion of pioneers and their descendants of this county will be held June 24 at Orange county park. President Backs conferred with Secretary Elmer Burns and Treasurer George Peters upon arrangements, which were in a preliminary stage this week. Plans to equal the attendance record last year, when several thousand persons registered, were being formulated. Wilkie Says Crime Cost $108 a Person Crime losses in the United States for the year totaled more than all the fires in the nation for 51 years, according to Capt. Don Wilkie, who addressed the local post, American Legion, Monday night. He stated that more than half a million persons make their livelihood by breaking laws, and claimed that crime costs for the year were $108 per capita. Supervisor Heads Big Valencia March Supervisor LeRoy Lyon, riding a black steed, was grand marshal of the second annual valencia orange festival which opened a two-day program at Pullerton Thursday evening. Following Lyon were Assemblymen Ted Craig of Brea and James Utt of Tustin, while the city council of Fullerton, and officers of neighboring cities followed in procession. The parade was a mile long and attracted thousands of spectators. In the neantime, Mary remains at the hospital, where she is being treated for rickets, scabbles and many other diseases largely attributable to malnutrition, and her father, whom Judge Landell termed "equally guilty" with the mother in neglecting the girl, is remaining home from his work at a packing house to care for six of the eight children. The three-week old infant is with its mother. As soon as the mother's case is disposed of before Judge Landell, who will pronounce sentence on June 15, the father will be hailed into court on the same charges, growing out of keeping Mary confined in a chicken coop because the family believed she had "the evil eye." A neighbor boy, Jimmie Dunn, stuffed jam sandwiches through the chicken-wire fence "because she was hungry." Little Mary weighed but 30 pounds when she was taken to the hospital. During her first 11 days at the county institution, she gained eight and one-fourth pounds. Nurse Lois Hershberger testified at the trial. Deputy District Attorney Davis, who prosecuted the case, announced that the little girl will be taken from her parents and offered for adoption. Capt. Steve Donnelly, past commander of the San Juan Capistrano American Legion post, announced that the post will notify immigration officers that Ebarguarry came here from France in 1909 and is not an American citizen. Prices for Fruit Holding Up Well Demand for Sunkist brand oranges is holding up so well, with correspondingly satisfactory prices, that Anaheim shippers have had no occasion to send choice or second grade fruit since early experimental shipments, according to officials of the Central Orange County Citrus Exchange. The local exchange is shipping ten cars this week to foreign buyers, and 75 to the domestic market. Only one case of it was found at the high Rosalind Beebe, daughte Mrs. M. E.

ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1934 5½ MILLIONS PER MONTH ALLOWED FOR SERA WORK State Agency to Get Federal Funds; Relief in Cooperation with County Director Details of the approved plan for expenditure of relief funds and for local supervision of relief organization in California were announced this week by State Emergency Relief Administrator R. C. Branion. "It is now estimated that the total cost of relief in the state will approximate $5,500,000 per month during the next six months," said Branion. "We are now assured $3,000,000 a month of federal relief funds to help meet that cost. Whether sufficient federal funds will be available each month of the entire fiscal year beginning July 1, 1934, to provide work relief for all persons whose need is due to unemployment depends upon action taken by congress during the present session." Federal Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins recently accepted Branion's recommendation that federal relief funds granted to California be used to provide work relief for able-bodied unemployed who, after investigation, are found to be in need. Branion emphasized that unemployment alone is insufficient to qualify persons. Flags On State Building Half Mast, Honor Till July 2 flags will hang at half mast on all state buildings and, if the request of Acting Governor Frank Merriam is heeded, naval vessels in California ports will follow suit, in honor of the memory of "Sunny Jim" Rolph, who died Saturday afternoon from a combination of pulmonary and cardiac troubles. His death was momentarily expected for more than a week, as he bravely fought off the inevitable at the ranch of a friend near San Jose. Soon after being sworn to succeed his dead chief, Lt.-Governor Merriam, as the first acts in his new executive position, by proclamation set aside the 30-day period for flags to fly at half mast, directed all state offices to close altogether or operate only on a skeleton force during the funeral, and requested the naval vessels to fly flags at half mast, all in honor to the dead governor. Thousands of Californians, from humble friends in the Mission district of San Francisco to Ex-President Herbert Hoover, attended the funeral services held at San Francisco Monday afternoon. Merriam, who is acting governor and still retains his position and title of lieutenant-governor, was sworn to the chief's executive's duties Saturday afternoon at his offices in the state build- to provide work relief for all persons whose need is due to unemployment depends upon action taken by congress during the present session." Federal Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins recently accepted Branion's recommendation that federal relief funds granted to California be used to provide work relief for able-bodied unemployed who, after investigation, are found to be in need. Branion emphasized that unemployment alone is insufficient to qualify persons for work relief. Need of the individual must be established, he said. The work relief program is resigned to meet employment needs in counties classified as urban or industrial. These, with some possible exceptions, include counties containing cities with populations of 5,000 or more. Since relief in agricultural areas presents its own problem, a rural rehabilitation program sufficiently elastic to meet California conditions is now being prepared. Hopkins recently announced the federal grant to California for June as $3,500,000 in addition to special funds granted for care of transient families, men, women, and boys who have been in California for less than one year. The May federal grant for all purposes was $3,726,396. Except as specifically granted for care of transients or other special purposes, the federal grant to California must be used for meeting the cost of work relief. The state and counties will continue to assume responsibility for care of those whose need arises from causes other than unemployment. Persons now upon county relief rolls will be eligible for work relief employment, subject to investigation of their need. Others seeking relief will be given application blanks which they will fill out and mail to the local work relief office. These persons, as in the case of those now upon relief rolls, will be subject to investigation as to their eligibility for relief. All eligibles will be classified as to vocational, professional or technical experience and skill. (Continued on page 8) Creel Organizes Local Supporters George S. Creel, publicity director for the Wilson administration during the World war and a candidate for democratic nomination for governor of California, conferred with leading Anaheim democrats Thursday afternoon at the offices of Leo J. Sheridan, Anaheim Six Organizations Aid Solicitations Of Salvation Army Committees Begin Work Monday to Obtain $2977 Goal Set Annual Service Drive Committeeemen from six local organizations, the Lions, Rotary, Kiwanis, and 20-30 clubs and the Elks and Knights of Columbus lodges. Monday will begin solicitation of subscriptions for the annual home service campaign of the Salvation Army, according to announcements this week from Envoy B. D. Rea of divisional headquarters. Secretary-Manager Fred A. Backs of the Savings, Loan and Building association, heads the campaign, while Manager Horace H. Benjamin of the Bank of America is treasurer. The goal is $2977 in subscriptions. Envoy Rea summarized the work of the local Salvation Army unit into two divisions, relief and social welfare, and spiritual meetings. From May 1, 1933, to April 30, 1934, the Army gave relief to a total of $245 persons. The lion's share of relief was given in the form of free meals, of which 9280 were listed. Next comes quarts of milk given, with 5,804; and beds to unemployed, totalling 3,956. The number of families receiving relief of any kind from the Army totaled 919. This was divided: families given Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners, 13 meals supplied at restaurant on Christmas and Thanksgiving, 75 children given toys and treats at Christ- Creel Organizes Local Supporters George S.

Sheridan, Anaheim Union Water company. Among those attending the meeting, besides Councilman Sheridan, were Earl Smith, H. E. W. Barnes, Robert Ramsey, William T. Wallop, Robert Royalty, and Joe Elliott.

Scores of Friends to Pay Tributes to John Brunworth at Funeral On Friday Scores of friends of John H. Brunworth, 73, who died from angina pectoris early Tuesday morning, will pay final tributes to him at funeral services to be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the chapel of Backs, Terry & Campbell.

Hale, William T. Wallop, Leo J. Sheridan, Arthur Benfield, William Klausing, and H. Burdof. Burial will be in the family plot at Anaheim cemetery. Death occurred at the Brunworth home, 1109 East Center street, where he resided since coming to Anaheim more than a quarter of a century ago. Mr. Brunworth has been connected with a number of civic projects, was a member of the city council from 1914 to 1918, and was defeated by two votes for supervisor from this district in 1912. He was employed as zanjero for the Anaheim Union Water company for 15 years, and for the last 10 years has been a director of the company. He was a shareholder and director of the Anaheim First National bank till it closed, and was a member of the Zion Lutheran church since coming to this city. He is survived by his widow, Pauline; two daughters, Mrs. Elenor Dyar of Hollywood and Evelyn, living at home; two sons, Albert C. Brunworth of Pasadena, and Raymond H., living at home; three brothers, William, Fred and Gotlieb Brunworth; and three sisters, Mrs. Mary Blas, Mrs. Sophie Sassenberg and Mrs. Caroline Kisteman, all of Warden, Illinois. State Buildings Hang At Mast, Honoring James Rolph 14 MILLIONS FOR WATER PROJECTS SPURS HARMONY See Hope for Federal Aid Along Santa Ana River if Orange County Unites Inclusion of Santa Ana river and Orange county flood control projects totaling $14,455,500 in President Roosevelt's recommendations to congress on formation of a national water policy, lends hope to local water leaders that if this county will unite in seeking specific water conservation and flood control measures the federal government may materially assist in their accomplishment. Technical sub-committee reports were transmitted by President Roosevelt to Congress Tuesday, with the suggestion that the national legislative body give immediate consideration to these long-time development projects. The total value of all recommendations ran approximately $500,000,000, of which California's central valley water project for $165,000,000 was one of the largest. Reports from Washington listed 11 debris dams in the upper cone of the Santa Ana; and flood control and water conservation projects in the lower Santa Ana river, Brea, Fullerton, Carbon and Santiago canyons, Govern- GOVERNOR FRANK MERBIAM belfalf of the commonwealth at the funeral. Among perplexing problems he faces is the recuperation of state finances, which threaten a 60 million dollar deficit by the end of the present fiscal year; settling of the stubborn longshoremen's strike at San Francisco and Los Angeles harbors; and review of a probable appeal for pardon from Thomas J. Mooney. In addition, Merriam is a candidate for nomination for governor on the republican ticket at the August primaries. Depositors Warned To File Claims at 1st National Bank Comptroller May Disallow the Claims Not Filed Within 3 Months; Blanks at Bank Depositers and other persons who have claims against the defunct Anaheim First National bank are advised in a legal advertisement published in the Gazette to present claims with legal proof to Recelver J. V. Hogan within three months from May 31, 1934. Presentation of bank deposit books will be considered legal proof in most cases, although all claimants will be required to fill out proper blanks which are furnished and made out at the bank. These blanks must be signed before a notary of public and filed with the receiver. The legal advertisement, signed by Comptroller of the Currency J. T. T. O'Connor, points out that unless the claims "with the legal proof thereof" are presented within "three months from this date "(May 31)" they may be disallowed." The bank was formally closed early this year, although it had been operating since the bank holiday in March, 1933, under a limited plan in which President William A. Dolan was conservator. This permitted opening and functioning of new accounts, which were guaranteed by the government, but held old accounts completely "tied up" pending final disposition of the bank's status. Efforts to reopen the institution were unsuccessful. Upon definite closing of the bank, J. V. Hogan was appointed receiver immediate consideration to these long-time development projects. The total value of all recommendations ran approximately $500,000,000, of which California's central valley water project for $165,000,000 was one of the largest. Reports from Washington listed 11 debris dams in the upper cone of the Santa Ana; and flood control and water conservation projects in the lower Santa Ana river, Brea, Fullerton, Carbon and Santiago canyons. Government figures showed 446,000 acre feet of water in annual runoff from this area, of which 93,000 acre feet is lost by evaporation, 33,000 acre feet wasted into the ocean and 22,000 acre feet wasted by underground drainage, leaving 298,000 acre feet for useful purposes. According to members of the Orange county water district board, who are in close touch with the situation, no apparent appropriation was made for the flood control projects, although congress undoubtedly will act on some of the recommendations and possibly on all, with permissive features left to the discretion of the president. William T. Wallop, member of the board, attempted to get in touch with Riverside's Francis Cuttle, who is Southern California's member on the national waterway projects committee, but had not located him by Thursday noon. Wallop, however, planned to go to Riverside Friday to learn at first hand what Mr. Cuttle knows about the president's recommendations. These views will be transmitted to the meeting of the water district board next Wednesday, when the projected water conservation and flood control measures will be considered. Cuttle in previous statements urged Orange county to get together on a definite program, which he then would submit to the national committee. County Lobbyist Urged at Meeting Francis Cuttle of Riverside, southern California member of the national projects board, and H. H. Cotton of San Clemente, right-hand advisor of President Roosevelt in matters pertaining to the southwest, advised members of Water, Inc., that if and when Orange county develops a unity of purpose in water problems the federal government will be more willing to participate in a solution. This was brought out in reports at Bert Kidd Honored at Varsity A Meet Bert Kidd, Colonist star in football, basketball, track and boxing was voted the Varsity A Club's outstanding athlete Monday evening, when Frank Ochoa was elected president for next year. Harry Massanga will be secretary-treasurer, and Willard Jaggers sergeant-at-arms. President Bennie Davis presided, introducing Sports Writer Braven Dyer as chief speaker. The club initiated the following 16 new members: Gene Morris, Kenneth Dugan, Roman Beck, Billy Nelson, Jack Rolden, Ray Ortez, Warren Rosenberger, Arthur Jones, Clinton Flynn, Leonard Brooks, Bob LaMont, Ralph Colvin, Robert Chenowith, Hideo Uysehima, Henry Meger and Bill Ferris. TIRE AND RIM STOLEN J. D. Weaver of Garden Grove Monday reported that while he was attending church in Anaheim Sunday thieves took a tire, rim and tube off his parked machine. Francis Cuttle of Riverside, southern California member of the national projects board, and H. H. Cotton of San Clemente, right-hand advisor of President Roosevelt in matters pertaining to the southwest, advised members of Water, Inc., that if and when Orange county develops a unity of purpose in water problems the federal government will be more willing to participate in a solution. This was brought out in reports at the Magnolia school house meeting held Monday night, when persons interested in water problems of the county were invited to attend. Director W. O. Broady and Secretary Harry A. Lake made the reports. Other topics considered were brought up by Orange County Water District Director W. C. Mauerhan who urged ranchers to attend the trial Thursday at Huntington Beach of Gun club officers, and by Secretary Lake, who urged the organization to prepare to ask the board of supervisors to hire a permanent lobbyist at Washington, D. C. Next meeting will be held Monday evening at Atwood school. Secretary Lake announces that the meetings are open to persons interested in pumping problems of the county. Install City Park Amplifier Saturday Paul Davidson of Superior Radio Service on West Center street Saturday will supervise the installation of Anaheim's new loud-speaker amplifying system for the city park amphitheater. There will be a gondola of six loud speakers suspended directly above the stage into the miscophones to be heard throughout the theater. The system will be ready for use at Fremont's eighth grade exercises Wednesday evening. An expert from the radio store will operate the unit for the first few programs.
