Smitty Says: One of the most populous sections of the city seems to be right out in front of the window here ... and just to think I have lived in this country, lo, these many years and I couldn't understand what they were all talking about .... I did get a thrill out of seeing so many traffic cops ... and doesn't Musick make a real movie star? A regular Edward G. Robinson ... with a sub-machine gun ... but frankly I'd much rather be sitting here watching him play cowboy to a herd of county boarders ... than to be among the "lads in front." Logan Jackson has reverted to the days of yore ... yessir ... ten gallon hat and shootin' iron laced to his thigh ... quite a thrill for us easterners. And ... you had oughta seen our own handsome admiral ... he outshown all the peace officers assembled in the courtyard of Fullerton yesterday ... and his knowledge might've proved valuable too, when they were organizing the army for Judge Spence ... from company front into squad formation ... Jim CORONER'S JURY HOLDS ACCIDENT UNAVOIDABLE BY CREW OF TRAIN Lenhart Couple Killed When Struck by Train Early Saturday Morning A corner's jury exonerated the Santa Fe train crew of responsibility in the deaths early Saturday of Raymond E. Lenhart, 35, of San Bernardino and his wife, Mrs. Opal Lenhart, 34, at an inquest held Tuesday at Backs, Terry and Campbell mortuary. The couple died early Saturday morning in the Orange county hospital from injuries sustained when the automobile in which they were riding was struck by the train at the Orangethorpe road crossing, the testimony showed. Lenhart died from a skull fracture and internal injuries, while internal injuries caused the death of his wife. According to testimony at the inquest the Lenhart couple was travelling west on Orangethorpe and the train was going north. The driver of the car apparently failed to see the signal until he was almost on the tracks and attempted to escape the tractor. ROTARY CLUB INDUCTS NEW OFFICERS MON. The meeting of the Rotary Club was given over last Monday to the induction into office of Ralph Waltz; president of the club for the ensuing year. Junior Past President K. B. Rigby opened the session following the dinner and asked for an attendance report from Secretary Con Jongewaard which showed a number of the members having a 100 per cent attendance for the year. Rigby then announced that an unusual installation ceremony would be witnessed by the members and guests and introduced Tom McFadden as a dentist, with Harry Campbell as a petite dentist's nurse with Jack Neville as a patient in need of a molar extraction. Just prior to making the necessary extraction, "Doctor" McFadden introduced an innovation for dentists in that he X-rayed not the patient's teeth but hip pocket to determine the "value of the work to be done." Jack's purse apparently did not please the "Doctor" so the latter just pulled the biggest tooth in Jack's mouth and called it a day. And you had oughta seen our own handsome admiral ... he outshown all the peace officers assembled in the courtyard of Fullerton yesterday ... and his knowledge might've proved valuable too, when they were organizing the army for Judge Spence ... from company front into squad formation ... Jim didn't try to pronounce the names though ... don't think even I would like the top kick's job in that army. Saw Joe Elliott Wednesday too maybe he was trying to get onto some new formations for the Elks drum corps ... you know hot tamale music with chili formations. Harry Akerman was somewhat interested in the events in Anaheim ... but he kinda kept his distance ... he had a little too much walnut stain on to get too close. It's hard to tell which of two men in Anaheim is the proudest this week ... neither one wears a vest so couldn't count the buttons, but the race is awful close between Papa Pearson and Granddad Charley Fay ... however, both of 'em are passing out ... or should say were cigars ... but I think Granddad Charley has a little knowing glint in his eye ... he has it on Papa Charley because Grandad has had the experience of stubbing his toe in the dark ... it's all over an 8 pound boy and Charley Pearson is doing well ... according to the doctors. And with that little information I will close for the time being except to say that Charley Griffith has asked that some Venetian blinds be put on his office windows to keep the "top of his forehead" from getting sunburned. Anaheim Tot Wins Awards at Beach Little Miss Ann Goodman, five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Goodman was nearly a sweepstakes choice when she ap- Anaheim Tot Wins Awards at Beach Little Miss Ann Goodman, five year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Goodman was nearly a sweepstakes choice when she appeared in the events at Huntington Beach last Saturday in the Fourth of July celebration held at the beach. The little auburn-haired miss received a special first prize in the baby parade in which she appeared costumed as a French doll. She placed second in the general parade as she rode a shetland pony dressed as a jockey. Following the parade an amateur contest was held during which the little lady again took first prize with her recitation of "My Brother Bill." Little Ann is a student of Mrs. Mary Grace Spielman of Anaheim. Drunk Driver Is Accident Charge Alfonso Herrera, 23, 1115 N.

Jack's purse did not please the to the latter just pulled tooth in Jack's mouth at a day. It’s ‘Papa Charley’ Now If You Please For a big man, Charley Pearson is sure light on his feet this week. Charley has had no special reason, heretofore, other than the general idea of Fourth of July, to celebrate . . . however, now well, it's bound to be different. You see Charley is an active member of not only the city council but as well the Chamber of Commerce and to be a real guy in that capacity he had to do his bit. Well Betsy Ross was no more satisfied when on an historical June 14, her flag was accepted as the emblem of liberty while George Washington accepted with just pride the winning of the Revolutionary War, and Now Charley and Sarah Pearson accept with justifiable pride the winning of parenthood and loss of liberty for a short time in the presentation by the stork of an eight pound bundle of joy which is closely allied with the above events because Old Doc Stork ignored the holiday and delivered “Junior” on the morning of the Fourth. So if Charley passes up any of his friends on the street in the next few days . . . it's a pardon- 13 STRIKERS ARE HELD FOR COURT IN SANTA ANA ON FRIDAY MORNING Assault of Sam Hunzicker Passed to Superior Court Thirteen strikers were bound over to the Superior Court to be tried on rioting charges when the preliminary hearing was held in the justice court of Justice Charles Kuchel Wednesday morning.

The street in front of the building which houses the justice court was crowded with friends and relatives of the prisoners.

THE GAZETTE Now In Its 66th Year OLDEST PAPER IN COUNTY 259 EAST CENTER STREET MAY 19, 1936 NUMBER 49 UNION SERVICES CLANNED FOR CITY PARK HERE Justice courts in Anaheim and Fullerton yesterday held the spotlight in the orange pickers’ strike panorama as threatened disturbances failed to materialize. One trial in the Fullerton police court, a preliminary examination in the Anaheim justice court and arraignment proceedings in the Fullerton justice court featured the day’s activities. No raids were made on picking crews yesterday and no arrests were made, Undersheriff Merle Dean said this morning. The Gazette was informed last night by the sheriff’s office that more than 400 persons are in the county jail’s “bullpen”. All are believed to have been arrested in connection with the strike. Quiet has prevailed since the sudden outburst of violence throughout the north end of the county Monday afternoon. Several persons were injured, a few seriously, when strikers swooped down upon groves in many locations in what appeared to have been an organized attack. Guards, pickers and strikers were beaten and in one case shot during the affrays. Wholesale arrests followed in the wake of the attacks. Picking of fruit continues and pro-rates are still being met, last reports from packing houses said. Wallop Speaks of Hawaiian Trip at Kiwanis Meeting William Wallop completed his Trespass Case Jury Unchosen Charles McLauchlan, communist candidate for congress in the 19th district was late this afternoon found guilty of a Wallop Speaks of Hawaiian Trip at Kiwanis Meeting William Wallop completed his description of his recent visit to the Hawaiian Islands as the feature of Tuesday's meeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis club. Wallop several weeks ago gave the first installment of the account of the trip. Among the places of interest the speaker told about were the many Buddhist temples, the Parker ranch which includes 600,000 acres and is stocked with some 35,000 head of cattle, the huge coffee district in Kona, the College of Punaho, said to be the oldest college west of the Mississippi, and the Japanese and Catholic cemeteries which were of unusual interest in that the Japanese cemetery has lights shining over the graves and in the Catholic cemetery graves are dug in the side of hills and resemble vaults. Wallop told of interviewing a wealthy Chinese who had attempted to grow citrus on the islands. The project was unsuccessful because of the many bugs and pests, he said. George Henry was selected as a director of the club to succeed Bill Sebelle, who moved to Santa Ana. Marion Pickle, a new member, was introduced by Les Herron. Dr. J. P. Brastad and Ted Kuchel, former Kiwanians who are rejoining the club, were introduced by Roscoe Young and Wallop, respectively. Glen Merrill was chairman of the program for the day. Ida Thompson Services Held Funeral services for Ida M. Thompson, 70, whose death occurred unexpectedly at their ranch house near North Street today. Trespass Case Jury Unchosen Charles McLauchlan, communist candidate for congress in the 19th district was late this afternoon found guilty of a trespass charge and sentenced 60 days in the county jail. The trial was held in Justice of the Peace H. I. Spence's court in Fullerton with Assistant City Attorney Elmer Guy prosecuting and Grover Johnson, said to be a lawyer from the International Labor Defense representing the defendant. In addition to the charge of trespass, two other counts, both of vagrancy, were lodged against the defendant at the time of his arrest. The vagrancy counts were dropped yesterday on motion of Assistant City Attorney Elmer Guy; Guy and Grover Johnson, defense attorney, exhausted two venires in an attempt to obtain a jury. The first panel was dismissed when Johnson refused to stipulate the trial be carried on with 10 jurors, the number available after the remaining 14 persons were excused. Playing an important role in Johnson's examination of the jurors was the question whether the defendant's affiliation with the communist party and the fact that a pickers' strike is now under way in Orange county would influence the juror's verdict. Proceedings were interrupted for some time during the afternoon to permit Judge Spence to arraign a group of 115 Mexicans who were charged with rioting in connection with a disturbance Monday at the C. C. Wagner ranch north of Placentia. The arraignment was held on the lot adjacent to the Fullerton police station. The defendants were brought from Santa Ana in two large trucks. Ida Thompson Services Held Funeral services for Ida M. Thompson, 70, whose death occurred unexpectedly at their ranch home on east North street early last Friday morning, were held Tuesday afternoon from the Hilgfeld funeral home. The Rev. S. E.

Thompson; three daughters, Mrs. J. J. Thomas of Los Angeles, Mrs. Floyd Moore of LaGrande, Oregon, and Mrs. Harvey Davidson of Kahlatus, Washington; three sons, E. A. Thompson of Los Angeles, George L. Thompson of Kettleman Hills, and Thomas E. Thompson of Bellflower; two sisters, Mrs. Lulu Jegglens and Mrs. Sarah Manford both of Missouri; one brother, Albert Parsons of Kansas; sixteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
