LITTLE GIRL DIES FROM SHOCK AFTER CLOTHING BLAZES Frieda Grussing, 11-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Grussing, residing at the corner of Santa Ana and East-sts, passed away this morning at 8:30 following shock from burns and inhaling flames when her dress ignited, supposedly from a spark from a pipe her father was smoking, on Monday. The little girl, with her father an Mr. John Loher, was walking over the Loher ranch, which Mr. Grussing has just purchased. Mr. Grussing was smoking, and as there was a strong wind blowing, it is thought a spark from the pipe blew onto the child, causing her clothes to ignite.

LIQUOR THE CAUSE Declaring liquor the cause of his troubles, J. L. Kirby arrived Monday from Great Falls, Mont., in charge of an officer. He is charged with the embezzlement of $950 paid to him in the sale of a Gary motor truck to William Duncan, a transfer man of Santa Ana. Kirby for a short time represented a Los Angeles firm that handles Gary trucks. "Booze is what got me into this mess," said Kirby. "Three drinks of whisky make me irresponsible, and in a moment of weakness when I was over at Anaheim with a man I took a drink. When I came to a full realization of what I had done I was in San Francisco. I kept on going until I got to Montana, when I wrote to my wife at Graham station telling her I was coming back to face the music. It was through that letter that they got me."

An enlarged activity among the 200,000 boys of the state also is under consideration. WM. OLIVER INSANE? William Oliver awaiting trial upon a charge of murdering Joe Morales at Anaheim Landing, may be insane. He has been transferred from the county jail to the county hospital, where he will be under the observation of Dr. Zaiser. Oliver became angered with Morales because Morales kicked Olivers' cat. Maroles was shot thru the arm with a rifle, and bled to death. The men lived on the beach, one in a but and the other in a boat. Oliver is an uncouth individual, and seems to have been a heavy drinker. Recently, in jail, he became moody. He got a notion that Mexicans were laying in wait for him outside his cell door.

SIDE ORDER O' BEANS The government has given the California Lima Bean Growers' Association an order for 2,860,00 pounds of lima beans for imemdiate delivery. This order is for a minimum of 47 carloads. Manager Churchill of the association wired from Chicago that he had sold there 15 carloads of limas. This makes a minimum of 62 carloads of limas sold by the association within a week. Word that the government had given the order to the association was received by telephone from W.C. Jerome of Santa Ana, one of the directors of the association. The message came by telephone from the Oxnard office of the association. Jerome was informed that the price to be paid by the government is 10.15 cents per pound f. o. b. on the Pacific coast. There will be no brokerage charges. "These orders bring the association sales to date to a normal sales condition," said Jerome. Jerome feels sure that the government is going to buy other large quantities of beans soon. He understands that the purchase of 2,860,000 pounds is for the navy. Ben Baxter, Cement Pipe, Pac 175R1 300,000 Fruit Trees. All leading varieties. Now is the best time to plant.

BIG IMPROVEMENT CAN BE MADE NOW Anaheim today is much interested in a decision just handed down by the appellate court permitting the completion of a big local improvement, a full width pavement and curbing on the state highway between Anaheim and Fullerton. A movement started about four years ago and stayed by objection of the Anaheim Sugar Co. The appellate court upholds the district court of Orange-co, which recognized no objection to the improvement. The sugar company's share of the cost was $15,000. All the money has been in bank and accruing interest during suit. Altho the expense of such improvements has greatly increased in four years, it is understood, the arrangement with the state will permit completion of the work without additional assessment.

Mrs. Northrup of Pasama, field secretary, was the speaker and gave a very interesting talk, collection was taken and about 100 raised for the furthering of the park. The council met in called session Monday night to take action on the sewer matter, and the final result was that the committee appointed to represent Santa Ana on the Inter-City Sewer committee was discharged and further consideration of the inter-city outfall dropped. Greenleaf promised to make an independent investigation this wee kas to the feasibility of an enlarged sewer-farm, and if he finds that it cannot be carried out to the best interests of the city, he will vote to submit a bond issue for an outfall, with Santa Ana acting alone. He will take a definite stand for or against the outfall at a meeting of the council next Monday night. Will Go It Alone The session was a regular old-time talkfest, with every member of the board having something to say on the proposition, and with the board divided two to three on the essential point. McPhee, as chairman of the committee on the Lner-City committee, recited incidents of recent meetings of the four-city committee, and said that he and Tubbs had decided that it would be impossible to continue with the project. He moved that it was the sense of the council that at the April election a bond issue for sewers be submitted to the voters, with Santa Ana building an outfall independent of the other cities. The motion prevailed after much discussion, by the affirmative votes of McPhee, Tubbs and Visel. Greenleaf voted no, and Maryatt was recorded as voting no, he qualifying his negative vote by saying that he would support the motion if it was agreed that the legal proceedings should be conducted by the elected city attorney. Ravenne From Sower Farm "Has the committee taken up the sewer farm and investigated it as to its cost and income?" asked Greenleaf in the discussion preceding the employed to carry on the legal proceedings, and Trustees McPhee, Tubbs and Visel decided in their opinion that an outfall sewer to the ocean is the only correct way to handle the situation, the Santa Ana council today is tied up and unable to get anywhere in disposing of an important question—one that is of vital importance to the entire city. 100 MISSION OFFERING Last Sunday morning at the Methodist church the Woman's Home Missionary Society had charge of the services.

Greenleaf voted no, and Maryatt was recorded as voting no, he qualifying his negative vote by saying that he would support the motion if it was agreed that the legal proceedings should be conducted by the elected city attorney. Rvenue From Sewer Farm "Has the committee taken up the sewer farm and investigated it as to its cost and income?" asked Greenleaf, in the discussion preceding the adoption of McPhee's motion. "According to fig urfsetalth ir hufHT cording to figures that I have been able to obtain, the sewer farm is returning the city 11 percent interest on its investment. I believe that we should put up two propositions for the people to vote on—an outfall sewer and enlargement of the sewer farm. We can buy more land in the vicinity of the present farm, and if we can get the same returns in rental of the land that we are now getting from the sewer farm, the revenue would pay more than the interest on the bonds needed to acquire the additional land and put in an outfall to it." Nuisance Visel—"What about notice from District Attorney West that we must abate the nuisance there? Mr. Scott, what was that notice we had from the district attorney?" City Attorney Scott—"We never have had written notice from the district attorney that I know of. We did have some word from the State Health Board on the matter and an inspector was sent here to look over the situation." Visel—"We must have had something from the district attorney, for we have called into conference with him two or three different times, and he has told me that complaints it been made against operation of the farm." McPhee—West told me that something hit to be done. He called me into his office and told me of
