This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding that Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others In This Field. VOL. XXIV—No. 154 CALL ANOTHER "TAXPAYERS" ISSUE STATEMENT ON ROW IN STANTON RECALL Charges Continue to Fly Back and Forth in Controversy Over Road Improvements. Charges continued today to fly back and forth in the row over road improvements in the city of Stanton, which has resulted in the inauguration of recall proceedings against several city officials. A statement was issued today by a representative of the "taxpayers' committee" which conducted the recent mass meeting attended by about 100 and which charges proposed expenditures of about $6000 available for road improvements is not planned for the best good of the incorporation. There have been former rows at Stanton, it was stated today, but all were patched over. However, it was stated today this one was "going thru," both sides being represented by counsel. Atty, H. C. Head, of Santa Ana, city attorney of Stanton since its incorporation, and the "taxpayers" by Atty, Jos. Burke, Head's former partner, now of Seal Beach. "We maintain that the funds are not being expended wisely and for the greatest good of the greatest number." It was declared today in the "taxpayers" statement. MUST BE VACCINATED TO ATTEND KATELLA The Katella school, closed this week because of a slight case of smallpox, thought at first to be chickenpox, will not reopen until res. 7, W. C. Mauerahan, trustee, stated today. It will be opened at that time to all children and persons who have been successfully vaccinated within seven years. All other children will be excluded from the school as long as smallpox exists in the district. An order to this effect was issued yesterday by the Katella school board, C. Head, secretary. This is with no intention of frightening anyone but merely as a precautionary measure. The smallpox is so slight that boys didn't even have to go to bed. There was a city school in Orangeco that recently developed more serious cases and yet this action was not taken, Mr. Mauerahan said. HART WILL SPEAK AT ANAHEIM C. OF C. Hon W. O. Hart, assemblyman from this district, back from Sacramento for a month's recess to confer with his constituents this morning accepted the invitation of Anaheim C. of C. to explain the true inwardness of the various measures before the California legislature at the next monthly C. of C. meeting to be held.

However, it was stated today this one was "going thru," both sides being represented by counsel. Atty. H. C. Head, of Santa Ana, city attorney of Stanton since its incorporation, and the "tax-payers" by Atty. Jos. Burke, Head's former partner, now of Seal Beach. "We maintain that the funds are not being expended wisely and for the greatest good of the greatest number," it was declared today in the "taxpayers" statement. "We believe that the first money should be spent for the filling in of chuck holes and other absolutely necessary work on roads all over the district, instead of spending it all on one permanent road. We are not asking that it should all be spent for red rock on Magnolia-ave, instead of Stanton-ave as the council majority proposes, although we do insist that there is as much or more white travel on Magnolia-ave as on Stanton-ave. "It does not help things any to notice that the red rock is to be placed in front of the doors of the councilmen we propose to recall, while all requests are ignored for road work in the eastern part of the district where the land is more highly improved and pays the most of the taxes. We want to see the funds expended equitably all over the district. "We cannot help but feel that there is a scheme to get a red rock road thru the townsite before the city is disincorporated upon the solution of the Anaheim sewer disposal question with the proposed outfall to the ocean. "Another thing, why is $2000 worth of red rock placed on Stanton-ave last year being torn up now and red rock to be placed on it again at a cost of $2000 or more per mile?" REPORT SOON UPON PROBE INTO PRICES That merchants in some sections of the district covered by the Orange-co Fruit exchange have not reduced retail prices on some commodities in proportion to the decline in wholesale prices, has been disclosed, it was declared today, to members of the exchange committee appointed some weeks ago to investigate price reductions in the district south of the Santa Ana river. It was predicted today that the committee would complete its investigations next week and would make its report and recommendations to the board of directors of the exchange at its meeting to be held one week from next Monday. The committee is going into the price situation with a thoreness that will make its report as near correct as it is possible to make it. Investigation of the board will extend to merchants in Santa Ana, Orange and other communities within the district where general merchandising is carried on. AT ANAHEIM C. OF C. Hon W. O. Hart, assemblyman from this district, back from Sacramento for a month's recess to confer with his constituents this morning accepted the invitation of Anaheim C. of C. to explain the true inwardness of the various measures before the California legislature at the next monthly C. of C. meeting to be held, it is believed, at the high school auditorium, at 8 p.m., Feb. 14. Mr. Hart will be prepared to answer all questions of the taxpayers on these subjects. The chamber officials, in casting about for a good speaker, concluded that the most important matter now pending in this issue is due regard for the pocket of the taxpayer. Members and other citizens are cordially invited to come and bring their ladies. Other short addresses, to be announced later, will fill the program with interest, and the question of expanding the personnel of the board to 15 members will be settled. This latter expedient is necessary in view of the great number of workers required for the successful pulling off of the California Valencia Show, May 19-22, inclusive. WRONG MAN GETS CHECK FOR $100 Word has been received here that a check for $100 made out by R. O. Royar of Los Angeles to M. W.

Follow Kidnaped Clue Here This Afternoon Rumors that Mrs. Gladys Witherell, who was kidnapped from her home in Hollywood Tuesday, is being hidded in Anaheim, were apparently discredited this afternoon by investigations by local police officers and Sheriff C. E. Jackson. Those seeing the suspected kidnapped woman and believing at the time it was the kidnapped woman, changed their minds when Marcus F. Andrade, deputy marshal, showed them a picture of Mrs. Witherell. The features were very similar but the woman seen here did not have her hair bobbed as did Mrs. Witherell. While admitting that they were working on the case neither Sheriff Jackson nor Marshal Steadman voiced much faith in the rumors since she said to have been seen in the open and it is that unlikely that the kidnapped woman would be free, the every clue is being run down. According to the rumors received at Marshal Steadman's office a man and a woman who took a room today on No. Philadelphia-at answered the description of Mrs. Witherell and her abductor. Mr. Steadman declared, however, that he believed it a "much-ado-about nothing" by the neighbors, who were unduly excited. 2.MEN FLEE AFTER DUMPING 4 GIRLS IN AUTO COLLISION Ruby Lewis Suffers Wrenched Back and Effie Page Broken Shoulder Enroute to Party.

Belding of the Orange-co farm bureau today was selecting public utilities committee which will prepare a statement of experiences of Orange-co residents with the railroad commission which will be handed the legislative committee investigating decisions of the railroad commission.

TACOMA MAN DEAD IN L.A. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 29—S.W.Wall, 50,Tacoma ,Wash.,a member of the Commercial club and C.of Tacoma,dropped dead of heart attack in front of Normal Hill con Prices of Automobiles, Both New and Used, Have Hit Bottom State Dealers Probably no other industry as aarameter of conditions is as readily noticed as the auto business. Today people are wondering "what of the future" regarding the automobile? Will prices go higher? Will they be lower? Should one buy now? Or had one best wait a few weeks or months? Not only is this true in 'new' cars, but "used" cars. There is no use denying there was a slump in both new and used cars. While the Orange-co market was not affected as seriously as other sections throughout the U.S., there was a cessation of business. But that cloud has its silver lining. The public is beginning to realize that used cars have hit the bottom and a similar situation exists with new cars, owing to the shut down, curtailing production and the reopening of plants on a 50 pet production. A number of these plants will not even reach the 50 pet production for six to eight weeks. Men were laid off and scattered over the country. It is going to take time to get them back; some will never go back as they have located in other cities. And all these things are forcing the curve upward in new cars. Everyone connected with the industry expects the demand to be greater than the supply. Tat is going to mean that used cars will climb; there will be a bigger demand. The public is beginning to realize this and reports from the auto shows over the country indicate on a broad scale intention of the public to resume the buying of autos. What of the future? Naturally the automobile men themselves keep closer to the situation than any others. Let them tell the story. Here are the thots of the men you know and have confidence in: H. S. Gilnette, local representative of the J. J. DeVeaux Oldsmobile Agency talking about the automobile industry says: "Regarding used cars people should understand that they can buy cheaper now than they will be able to do so later on. I believe that within the next 60 days cars will me 20 pct higher." The clearing down of the factories in the east, and in reopening using only a partial force, there is not going to be an over-production, but there is going to be a better product. During the last two years when a man went into the factory and said he was an assembler, he was hired. Offimies his work went thrue the inspector and as a result there was a faulty car. The Oldsmobile factory laid off 700 men, but they are putting out as many and better cars today than before the lay-off. "Take it the last three years a man came to town to buy a car: oftimes he could not get a standard make of car. Many times he would have to wait four to six months. It resulted in him buying an off grade auto. But the standard make of cars are caught up now. This is going to be different." When a man buys a car he should first figure how much money he can afford to pay; what it will cost him to run it, and what he can get for it when he goes to sell it. If it is a standard make of car it will have a god re-sale value." Bob Vincent, local manager for the A.A. Peterson Corporation, exclusive dealers of used cars, talking about the used car market says: "I believe the actual conditions are that it is going to resume strong. Factories of new cars are opening up on a 50 pet production basis, but conditions prove that the buying season is going to open strong. This is going to mean a shortage of new cars. Then the Peterson Corp. is opening a branch in Old Mexico. This is going to mean a big outlet for used cars of So Cal. The Peterson Corp. are endeavoring to make the used car market as stable as any merchandise." L. F.

COX POETIC UPON TALE OF ITINERANT Frank Ulmer, itinerant, arrested at Santa Ana for begging food while his pockets were filled with sandwich-wiches was today given a hearing before Justice of the Peace Cox and sentenced to 30 days in the county jail. Ulmer told Justice Cox that he had been troubled lately with his nerves. In answer to this Justice Cox told him that the "rest cure" would do him good. "When you get out," said the court, "Springtime will be drawing high. The fields will be calling you and you can roam about the country of your own free will. You can listen to the chirp of the mocking birds and the whistle of the whip-poor-will. The trees and grass will be green and you can find lots of outdoor sleeping places. The rest I am giving you in the meantime will fix you up." HOBOES PULLED OFF TRAINS WORK ROADS The hint went out from Santa Ana, the decree came forth from Judge French,—no more hoboes who are pulled off the trains at Fullerton will be given a suspended sentence regardless of how much money they have. Nay, not even if they promise to buy tickets to 'll' Ole New York' or to 'Old Chi'. Instead, moneyyed and unmoneyed hoboes alike, will be sent to Santa Stockholders FAIL TO OBTAIN QUORUM FOR ELECTION TODAY Committee Will Study Affairs of the Company to Recommend Policy for Board of Directors. The attempt today to hold a stockholders meeting of the Anaheim Union Water Co. failed again for lack of a quorum, as all such attempts have failed since 1915 when the last quorum was present, but it resulted in two things. 1. Determination to get out a quorum for a meeting April 23. 2. Appointment informally of a committee to study the affairs of the company with a view of recommending to directors and stockholders a policy as to operations of the company. There were only 1800 shares represented today; 4000 is a quorum. Stockholders are supposed to elect a board of directors. Because of failure to obtain a quorum since 1915, there are now only two directors elected by stockholders, the remainder having been appointed by the board to fill vacancies. Many of the stockholders present today were of the opinion that it is high time stockholders were taking an interest in the affairs of their company, which has done more than any other one agency for the development of 8000 intensely cultivated TRAINS WORK ROADS The hint went out from Santa Ana, the decree came forth from Judge French—no more hoboes who are pulled off the trains at Fullerton will be given a suspended sentence regardless of how much money they have. Nay, not even if they promise to buy tickets to "Il' Ole New York" or to "Old Chil." Instead, moneyed and unmoneyed hoboes alike, will be sent to Santa Ana for road-work. The highways of Orange-co improvement and improvement cannot be obtained without labor, and hoboes make splendid laborers on chain gangs. Judge French stated the new ruling goes into effect Monday, then woe beside the hobo who ventures thru Fullerton. Ed Thwing, marshal, and his deputy, Joe Marillo make the combing of the night trains a specialty. SANTA ANA PASTOR WILL TOUR STATE The Rev. J. A. Stevenson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Santa Ana, is to leave Sunday afternoon for a tour thru the San Joaquin Valley and No. Cal. He will make the trip under the direction of the New Era committee of the Presbyterian denomination. The program under which he will work is a progressive forward movement for the Presbyterian church. POPULAR BANKER IS MARRIED TODAY A wedding that will be of much interest to his many friends here occurred this afternoon when Mr. Horace H. Benjamin, cashier of the First National bank, took his bride, Miss Alice Burnham, teacher in the So. Pasadena schools. The ceremony was performed in So. Pasadena. Following the ceremony the newly-weds left for a honeymoon trip to San Francisco, expecting to return Wednesday to make their home at the modern new bungalow Mr. Benjamin has built and attractively furnished at 516 No. Lemon-st. COBBLER HELD UPON CHARGE OF BURGLARY Frank Amador, 17, arrested last Sunday night by a patrolman who found him forcing an entrance into the Hawley sporting goods store at Santa Ana, today stood bound over to the superior court with ball fixed at $500, following his preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Cox. The case first came upon the juvenile court charge but was certified back to the justice of the peace when Judge Williams held that the defendant was too bold a criminal to be dealt with as most juveniles are. Both Justice of the Peace Cox and Judge Williams have intimated that there were only 1800 shares represented today; 4000 is a quorum. Stockholders are supposed to elect a board of directors. Because of failure to obtain a quorum since 1915, there are now only two directors elected by stockholders, the remainder having been appointed by the board to fill vacancies. Many of the stockholders present today were of the opinion that it is high time stockholders were taking an interest in the affairs of their company, which has done more than any other one agency for the development of 8000 intensely cultivated acres of citrus fruit in the Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia and Yorba Linda districts. Because the company has been here on the job for half a century, playing an invaluable part in the development of No. Orange-co, it has become an old story, forgotten about by many. Stockholders feeling this way expressed the opinion that there should be some "pep" and "life" injected to stockholders generally and a genuine interest taken in the affairs of the company. "I expect there will be a warm time April 23, but we want every stockholder with a grouch on his chest to come and get it off." declared one stockholder who sized up the situation today. "Instead of kicking over assessments and repeating complaints from their neighbors, they should come out and get a real view of the job the directors are up against. Improvements the last year and the additional cost of the company's operation greatly increased the expenditures of the company. Despite additional revenue of $80,000, thrush assessments, an audit of the company shows $30,000 added to indebtedness the last year, making the total indebtedness about $400,000. Still this is not considered out of the way for a company of its magnitude, with real estate conservatively estimated at $400,000, rights of way and cost of construction bringing the total up to $1,500,000. This is in addition to riparian rights and large acreage along the Santa Ana owned jointly with the Santa Ana Valley Irrig. Co. almost to Riverside. The stockholders committee will attempt to arrive at recommendations as to future development of water, how to handle present indebtedness, etc. FULLERTON TO PLAY SAN PEDRO SUNDAY The Fullerton baseball team Sunday will play the San Pedro team, which includes six Los Angeles coast League players headed by Nick Altrock and Carl Sawyer of the Washington Americans at the park on W.
