The Orange LEA VOL. XXI., No. 91 This Paper Accepts All Advertising on UnderstandIts Circulation Equals Any Two Others in This Flea R. R. COMMISSION LOSES 1ST ROUND IN FEDERAL COURT Toll charges between exchanges in Orange-co that in the past have had free service will not be made in Orange-co until an order for the railroad commission authorizes such charges. This is the statement of a Pacific Telephone official in Los Angeles. The official is authority for the statement that the proposal of the company to put in toll rates in free zones was contemplated on authority granted by the railroad commission. Its order of Jan. 23, directing the company not to make such toll rates effective until further order of the commissio, halted the plans. Order No. 2495 by government telephonic control, and issued on Dec. 13, does not contemplate the charging of federal long distance rates in those sections where free toll service company respected that order and at once informed district managers not to put the charge into operation. In Orange-co the physical merger is scheduled for the first of March, at which time the toll charges were to become operative. The company advised Local Manager Morrow not to put the schedule into effect. Whether that order had to do with permanancy or was issued as effective only until such time as could be road commission had jurisdiction over rates in this state, of course, is not known here. It is also said that the Burleson schedule of long distance tolls did not contemplate interruption of free service where it existed. BOSTON OPERA CO. HERE THURS. EVE. The people of Anaheim and vicinity will be given the opportunity of hearing the Boston Opera Company on Thursday evening, Feb. 6, at the High School auditorium, when this attraction will be an extra number to BOSTON OPERA CO. HERE THURS. EVE. The people of Anaheim and vicinity will be given the opportunity of hearing the Boston Opera Company on Thursday evening, Feb. 6, at the High School auditorium, when this attraction will be an extra number to the regular Lyceum course. The Redpath Bureau is anxious to make preparation for the disappointment caused by the confusion of dates of the Adrian Newen lecture, and is putting on this extra number. The Boston Opera Company was the leading attraction on the New York and New England Chautauqua circuit last season, and is the leading musical attraction of the Redpath Bureau this season. It is certainly a treat not often offered the people of Anaheim, but such a courtesy is being accorded the holders of season tickets. The season tickets will admit to this concert as well as the rest of the entertainments. A charge of 75c will be made at the door for single admission, which will be turned over to the opera company for necessary expenses. $4000 BARN BLAZE A loss of approximately $4000 was sustained Wednesday by E. Ray Moore, when fire completely destroyed his large barn west of Wintersburg, 20 tons of hay, a new Chandler sport model automobile, and a quantity of machinery. The only insurance was $500 on the barn, which was one of the most modern in the country. The blaze was discovered at 2-30. Its origin is unknown. Louis Bowers of Bolsa, recently returned from army service, opened the barn door to try to save the automobile, but that flames drove him back. WILL FURNISH ROOM The W. C., T. U., held a called meeting in the parlor of the Presbyterian church Wednesday afternoon at 2-0, at which time important business was transacted relative to the Home Center for Girls in Los Angeles. The ladies pledged $50 to be used toward furnishing a room in the SAN BERDOO WINS PHONE VICTORY The San Bernardino Sun publishes a story to the effect that City Attorney Hodge of Rialto had been assured in Los Angeles by C. F. Mason and J. J. Lynch of the telephone company that all thought of any kind of a charge for service between the exchanges at San Bernardino, Rialto and Colton had been dismissed permanently. If the statement is true and the city attorney of Rialto did not misinterpret the remarks of Lynch and Mason, San Bernardino has gained a big victory, for it was proposed there as well as here to establish toll charges between points where free services have been the rule. Hodge was definite in his statement that no charges would be made when consolidation is effected there. If that condition obtains there, there is no reason why the sam enlisted is no reason why the same condition should not prevail here, unless it is that no organized protest by any community in Orange-co has been filed. City Attorneys of San Banerdrion, City attorneys of San Bernardino, Rialto and other communities near by interested in maintaining free service got busy at once and filed protests with the railroad commission and were preparing to take the matter to the federal district court. An order from the railroad commission dictating the telephone company not to put toll rates into effect between free exchanges changed the position of the question.

WITNESSSES IN SUIT AGAINST GEO. FOX Three Orange-co men have been witnesses in Los Angeles this week in the trial of George A. Fox on a charge of embetzxling money from Mrs. Anna Walters, formerly of Anaheim. The woman says Fox made love to her, and persuaded her to deed all of her property to him. Judge R. Y. Williams testified that Mrs. Walters and Fox went to him when he was an attorney and tried to get him to draw up a deed for Mrs. Walters' property to Fox, who had persuaded Mrs. Walters that the property could be better handled by a man. Williams said he refused to draw the deed, that he told Mrs. Walters that there was nothing in Fox's argument, and that he advised Mrs. Walters not to deed Fox anything. "Evidently she didn't take your advice," said one of the attorneys. "No," said the judge, "when a woman is in love I suppose her lover's advice beats a lawyer's. In her case it did." Deputy District Attorney W. F. Menton testified that last summer Mrs. Walters secured a warrant for Fox's arrest on a charge of embezzling $20,000. After Fox was arrested she met Fox at the office of Attorney Earl Rogers in Los Angeles where peace negotiations were conducted. Menton knew nothing of this conference. He testified that Mrs. Walters came to him and showed him a note signed by Fox that she said she had discovered. With that note in existence, Menton saw there was no chance of conviction upon embezzlement, and he dismissed the case. In Fox's trial in Los Angeles this week Mrs. Walters said the note was fixed up after Fox's arrest on the $20,000 charge. Later a second charge was brought in Los Angeles, and it is upon that charge that Fox is now being tried. Attorney Leonard Evans of Anaheim church, in an effort to attendance of rite.

PROPOSE EFFORT TO GET REDUCED INSURANCE RATE A number of Anaheim business men are in favor of uniting endeavors to obtain a lower fire insurance rate for the city. It is asserted that the rates are entirely too high in view of the fact that the city has such a splendid fire fighting equipment and a fire department with personnel that cannot be beaten for training and zeal. Eversince the annual report of the fire department, showing fire losses last year amounting to only $6000, there has been a growing feeling among businessmen that it wouldn't hurt anything to attempt reduction of insurance rates, and it might do some good. Beside the amount of insurance premiums paid annually on Anaheim property, an annual loss of CHILDREN'S PROGRAM The general meeting of the Ebell Monday afternoon will be in the nature of a Valentine party for children.

Mr. Knites is looking for a place to locate, and is very much impressed with Anaheim and this part of Orange-co. BIBLE CLASS MEETS The Business Women's Bible Study Class will meet in regular session in the Y.M.C.A. hall Monday Eversince the annual report of the fire department, showing fire losses last year amounting to only $6000, there has been a growing feeling among businessmen that it wouldn't hurt anything to attempt reduction of insurance rates, and it might do some good. Beside the amount of insurance premiums paid annually on Anaheim property, an annual loss of $6000 is a drop in the bucket. Another thing that has increased stock in the belief that rates should be lowered is the almost unanimous co-operation that has been displayed in the cleaning up of back yards and removal of other fire hazards. It is likely that one of the businessmen's organizations and probably both will start the ball rolling at an early date. DANSANTS MAY BE POPULAR SOON Another innovation for Anaheim! About Mar. 1 Manager L. M. Guyon, Salt Lake man who recently took over the Anaheim Sweet Shop, will open a little dance hall and ice cream shop in the basement of the Cassou-bldg.
