This Paper Accepts All vertising on the Understandin that Its Circulation Equals All Three Others In This Nield. VOL. XXIV—No. 149 18 HURT, 3 SE CROWN STAGE HIT BY PACKARD AUTO AND TURNED OVER Touring Car Hit Rear of Bus, Upsetting It and Pinning Passengers Beneath. Three people were seriously injured and 15 others suffered minor injuries and scratches yesterday about 11 a.m. when a Crown stage was run into and turned over by a large Packard touring car at Los Nietos. The seriously injured were Mrs. Lillian Schneider, of Santa Ana, Frank Porter, of Santa Ana, and Jack Alcar, driver of the stage. Mrs. Schneider was taken to the Fullerton General hospital, Mr. Porter to the Whittier hospital and Mr. Alcar to his home in Los Angeles. The three were reported recovering today. Mrs. Schneider, who was pinned underneath one of the seats when the stage turned turtle, was rendered unconscious. Her left eye was almost put out. She had recovered consciousness at the Fullerton hospital this morning and gave a reporter her version of the story. She stated that the Packard was coming down a cross street at a high rate or speed, 30 or 35 miles an hour, and was turning to come this way when it struck the stage. "In another moment I was underneath the stage, and that is all I know, except that the driver of the 11TH-HOUR WIRES URGED UPON TARIFF Making one more appeal, citrus fruit growers of Southern California joined today in urging residents of this city and vicinity to rally to their support by the sending of "eleventh-hour" telegrams to the ways and means committee, house of representatives, Washington, D.C., urging a 2-cent protective tariff to save one of California's most important industries. The California lemon industry represents an investment of $55,000,000—if you would save this rich asset to your state you are urged to send a telegram at once to Washington. Send it today—now—AT ONCE. It is necessary that your telegram be sent to the Washington committee in order to further impress on it the dire crisis that this rich industry faces here in California and to offset the arguments that are being made today before the committee by proponents of a lower tax who are friends of the importers of the low-priced Sicilian lemon, which has throttled California competition. President Powell, of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, and the entire organization, as well as bankers, business and professional men are back of the move to save this industry. An illustration of what the foreign lemon gathered at a low cost of labor and dumped on the Atlantic coast by shiplonds, has done to California's product may be impaired when one learns that in a recent shipment of 450 carolls of lemons to the east the returns barely covered the expenses, leaving Mrs. Schneider, who was pinned underneath one of the seats when the stage turned turtle, was rendered unconscious. Her left eye was almost put out. She had recovered consciousness at the Fullerton hospital this morning and gave a reporter her version of the story. She stated that the Packard was coming down a cross street at a high rate or speed, 30 or 35 miles an hour, and was turning to come this way when it struck the stage. In another moment I was underneath the stage, and that is all I know, except that the driver of the Packard phoned a garage for someone to come and fix his car before he phoned for an ambulance to get us," says Mrs. Schneider. Calls were sent for a Sele ambulance at Fullerton and the White ambulance at Whittier. W. C. Brown and Charles H. Reeder, of Anaheim, were also injured. Mr. Brown's left knee was thrown out of place. Mr. Reeder's right eye was injured when his spectacles were broken. Mr. Brown was given attention at the Johnston-Wickett hospital in Anaheim and later removed to the Anaheim sanitarium where he is now. Mr. Reeder's eye fortunately was not permanently injured and he left the sanitarium this morning. Charles Federman and Henry Hansen, both of Anaheim, were in the car but fortunately escaped without severe injuries. Mr. Hansen received a slight cut on the head and a scratch on the knee and elbow. He stated he did not know how it happened; that the first he knew there was a crash and he was plined underneath the stage with the other passengers. Those who saw the bus after the accident stated that it looked as if it had gone thru a shower of stones, the top being broken up and looking as if it had been struck all over. Manager Watson of the Crown Stage Co., stated that the injured would all be out within two or three days. He said the Crown stage was proceeding at less than 15 miles an hour on the Telegraph-rd when it was struck in the rear and turned over by a Packard driven by a man by the name of Stevens from San Gabriel who shot out from the Long Beach-blyd at a high rate of speed. J. H. McClelland of Anaheim and Mrs. F. C. Haverty of Anaheim were also in the wreck. Mrs. Haverty sustained a severely sprained neck and bruises on the back of the neck and head. Her injuries were so slight that she was not forced to be confined to her bed. Mr. McClelland, however, was badly injured, sustaining a fractured nose, bruises on the face and head, lacerations and bruises on the legs, a contusion on the abdomen and a uprained and wrenched back. Mr. Federman of Anaheim who was on the car was only slightly injured. He remained over in Los Angeles today but will return here tomorrow, it was stated at his store this afternoon. ALLIES CONSIDER GRAB BURGLAR IN SANTA ANA STORE A man giving the name of Frank Amadore was reported to have been captured in the act of riffling the Hawley gun store on Sycamore-st, Santa Ana, last night by Santa Ana Police Officer Joe Lyons. When the burglar alarm system flashed a warning message to the police station, Lyons dashed to the rear of the store and, looking in, is reported to have observed Amadore rifling the stock. Lyons claims to have found a complete burglar's kit in making the arrest. He says that Amadore came from Los Angeles to Santa Ana three days ago and looked over the Hawley store.

ALLIES CONSIDER WILSON'S REQUEST PARIS, Jan. 24—The Russian situation was one of the most important confronting the allied supreme council when it met here today. President Wilson's note requesting the allies to give guarantee that Russia will not be attacked put that situation in the forefront. Other big questions confronting the premiers were: 1.

Bolshevism in the Near East. The allies were confronted with the problem of deciding how to stop it.

ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN N LEADING NEWSPAPER IN NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Monday, January 24, 1921 3 SERIOUSLY, IN STATE CHURCH'S TASK TO MAN IS MARKED BY WORLD CONDITIONS Dr. Geissinger Speaks Upon "The Permanent Meaning of Pentecost" at White Temple Sunday A. M. Dr. Geissinger spoke yesterday morning at the Methodist White Temple upon "The Permanent Meaning of Pentecost," taking as his text Acts 2:16. He said in part: "The kingdom of God goes forward by impreceptible stages and also by leaps and bounds. Sometimes a day has meant more than a century. That was a great day when Abraham discovered that God was not pleased with human sacrifices. That was another great day when Moses went up into the mountain and sighted the moral order, returning to the people with the two tables of the law. It was a great day when a babe was born in a manger in Bethlehem and faith and hope and love came to a new release in human hearts. Pentecost was another great day. It was the birthday of a new epoch." “There may be some things about this narrative beyond our understanding and some things evidently were not of permanent significance. But Peter makes it clear that its permanent meaning is this: Life is fulfilled, filled full, in the life of God. He insisted that these disciples were not intoxicated with wine but litted” CHRISTIAN CHURCH WILL VOTE SUNDAY ON BUILDING SITE Committee Offers Present Site and Location, 102x107 Feet at Rush and Center-sts.

The first was the present location and the other was a lot at the corner of Rush and Center-sts, 102x107. The location will be voted on by the members of the church next Sunday. Unless the Rush and Center-sts site is accepted the church will probably be rebuilt on its present site. The members of the location committee are: Dr. Harold Carlin, chairman; James Baker, J. D. Wallace, W. F. McClelland and C. S. Schemer-horn. PAINTER SUES TO COLLECT $1453.00 Otto E. Linnert, painter and contractor, of Orange, today had on file a suit against Ruth F. Bowen and husband, Joseph Bowen, also of Orange, to collect $1,453.11, alleged due for labor and materials furnished the defendants. Herman W. Ehlen, proprietor of the Orange Hardware Co., and O. T. Moore, contractor and builder, both AHLBORN DOESN'T KNOW HER UNCLE Of the many peculiar inquiries and requests a postmaster received, this one addressed to Postmaster Ahiborn is typical: “Postmaster, Anaheim, Calif. I have an uncle living in Anaheim and I heard in an indirect way that he died about the 11th of heart failure. It grieves me to learn of this good man passing to the great beyond. Will you be so kind as to give me some information in regard to his sickness, death and burial? Any information in regard to him and his affairs will be greatly appreciated by me. Respectfully, “P. S.-I know of no one to whom I could write.” The postmaster usually knows everybody and everything, but this one is beyond him and he is calling for help. The question is: Who was the late uncle who died on the 11th? The lady forgot to mention his name in the letter. RAID RENDEZVOUS OF ALLEGED THUGS LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24—Surrounding a small shack in Hansen Heights, a cordon of Hollywood police today raided an alleged bandit rendezvous and took into custody four heavily armed men.

PEOPLE MAY VOTE UPON TAX MEASURE CAPITOL, SACRAMENTO, Jan 24. If the state assembly refuses to pass the King bill increasing the tax on public utility corporations approximately one-third, Governor Stephens will take the issue before the people and try to force the passage at the end of the legislative recess, it was announced today. The governor's office also announced that if the corporation tax is defeated it will be necessary to levy an ad valorem tax of 22 cents on a hundred dollars on all general property. The state has a deficit of $1448,000 to meet. The fight over the King bill reopened this morning in the assembly.

VOLSTEAD ACT IN SANTA ANA URGED The Santa Ana Ministerial Assn. at a noon meeting Tuesday will petition the Santa Ana council to adopt an ordinance permitting police to handle dry law violations under the Volstead act. TUSTIN REFUSES TO JOIN Santa Ana and Tustin interests will clash should Santa Ana attempt to annex the Tustin district, if expressions by prominent men of that district are representative.

NOTED BARITONE TO SING The fourth program of the Santa Ana Muliscan Assn.'s season is to be in charge of Cecil Fanning, a well-known American baritone, at the First Methodist church Tuesday overmoral order, returning to the people with two tables of the law. It was a great day when a babe was born in a manger in Bethlehem and faith and hope and love came to a new release in human hearts. Pentecost was another great day. It was the birthday of a new epoch. "There may be some things about this narrative beyond our understanding and some things evidently were not of permanent significance. But Peter makes it clear that its permanent meaning is this: Life is fulfilled, filled full, in the life of God. He insisted that these disciples were not intoxicated with wine but lifted out of themselves and glorified by, the power of the most high resting upon them. "We rightly speak of the modern epoch as the dispensation of the Holy Spirit. For in it man has steadily risen spiritually. Primitive man was an impotent creature dominated by his fears, his superstitions and his ignorance. He had every thing to learn. He knew nothing about nature or himself. He lacked in self-mastery. He could not believe that the universe meant well. He was afraid of deity. Really he did not believe in deity but in innumerable demons." "Jesus changed all this. He helped men to faith in God. And thru Him the Spirit of God gained a new opportunity in the life of man. The great characteristic of man's life since then has been co-operation. He has worked with the universe. He has used the winds, the tides, the lightnings, gravity to do His work. And to some degree he has learned that his own personal life comes to its own only in the communion of the Holy Ghost. "But after we have granted the progress of man spiritually to be a fact we must still admit that life day, the life of the whole world is far from what it ought to be spiritually. The spiritual life of mankind taken the world over is not great, free, triumphant, controlled by love. Nor are people happy." "Here is the task of the church, marked out for it by world conditions. We are to help men into the fellowship of God that their lives may be set free." YORBA LINDA MAN BURNED BY HEATER Mr. F. A. Nixon, of Yorba Linda, was brot to the Anaheim sanitarium yesterday suffering from burns to his hands and face, which he received from the accidental explosion of a heater in the bath room at his home.

Persons living in the foothills reported that the men occupied the abandoned shack and described the mysterious activities of the quartet. The officers motored to a grove near the shack and, under the cover of sawed-off shotguns, crept up on the mysterious lair. For five minutes the officers observed the occupants of the place thru cracks in the walls of the structure. At a given signal the door was kicked in and the muzzles of sawed-off shotguns were thrust thru windows. When the officers searched the men and the shack, they reported they found several weapons including a shotgun, automatic pistols, bludgeons, a trench knife and other miscellaneous weapons.

R. store, who indvertently failing to endorse it, passed it at the Anaheim National bank where it was discovered it was from the stolen box.

LOOKING GOOD The Richfield-Union Petroleum Co. has had a mighty fine showing of gas and oil the last two days at their No. 1 well on the Porter lease near the Placentia packing house, according to J. W. Johnson, superintendent, in Anaheim today. "We had our share of bad luck, but that's all past now and everyone is sure we're going to bring in a real well yet," said Supt. Johnson today.

OPTOMETRISTS OPPOSE REDUCING STANDARDS Legislation that will in any way lower the standards of the optometry profession is bitterly opposed by Anaheim optometrists and others in this profession throughout the state.

The State Optometry commission is now self-supporting. Fees paid in each year for licenses by optometrists of the state pay all expenses of the commission, who give their service gratis to uphold the high qualifications required in this profession in California. Thru the efforts of this commission, the optometry profession has raised its standard to such an extent that many colleges including the Univ. of Cal.; are establishing chairs in optometry.
