XXIV—No. 156 DUNTON GARAGE Posse Seeks Fullerton KROEGER-BLDG BOT BY WILSON & BEVER; TO ADD 3RD FLOOR Old Front Will Be Replaced by Attractive Improvement to Business District. Papers were placed in escrow at the Golden State National bank this afternoon for the transfer of the Kroeger-bldg to Bever & Wilson, building contractors. This means that work will be started immediately upon the effacing of the present building presents to the municipal section by jutting several feet beyond the new building line and that an attractive new front will be put in. The popular Anaheim contractors stated today that the front would be as up-to-date as any in the street. They should be qualified to make the comparison as they constructed most of them. Dreyfus In City Today; May Set Back Bldg.? In view of the announcement today that the old Kroeger-bldg on Center-st had been purchased by Wilson & Bever and a new front is to be installed, much importance was attached to the presence of Emil Dreyfus, of San Francisco, in Anaheim today. Dreyfus is one of the owners of the Dreyfus-bldg, the only other building extending out into the sidewalk on Center-st. Dreyfus is one of the pioneers of Anaheim and was the first man to improve the business district by erecting a modern building. In reference to setting back his building, Dreyfus was quoted as saying he was "ready to consider any fair proposition."

This means that work will be started immediately upon the effacing of the present floor; the building presents to the construction section by jutting several feet beyond the new building line and that an attractive new front will be put in. The popular Anaheim contractors stated today that the front would be as up-to-date as any in the street. They should be qualified to make the comparison as they constructed most of them. P. A. Yungbluth was receiving congratulations today on his put over the transaction result in the big improvement to the street. Attempt after attempt had been made by business men, city trustees and civic organizations to get something done. Resolutions had been passed and legal proceedings started. But all such attempts were blocked by some hook or crook. Yungbluth, tired of seeing the eyesore every time he looked out the front door of his clothing store, decided the best way to handle the matter was to affect a transfer of the property to men able and willing to proceed with the improvement. He has been working for months on the proposition and is finally able to report success this afternoon. He got promises from the city trustees of some financial assistance in making the improvement; he obtained agreements from tenants on the main floor that they would not ask for damages while entrance might be hindered during the installation of the new front; he persuaded two men to take a lease on the entire second floor and he even went further and lined up a lessee for a third floor to be constructed. The present tenants will remain on the ground floor. They are the J. T. Lyon Realty Co. and the Anaheim Variety store. Dr. C. W. Harvey and Dr. W. J. Howie have taken a lease on the en- second floor and will sub-let a part of it which will be four offices in the front and apartments in the rear. At a meeting of the board of governors of the Mother Colony club last night a committee was appointed to arrange for a lease for a third story to be added to the building to house the Mother Colony clubs rooms. The building is 36 by 70 feet. The price is understood to have been $20,000. Wilson & Bever are also to be congratulated with Yungbluth in making this improvement possible. Their public spirit has been amply evidenced in the past by the good workmanship in the many buildings they have constructed. Those include the Valencia Hotel, Oyster Loaf cafe, Cassou-bldg for Falkenstein's department store and the Fairyland theatre, Lamb garage, Olive and Katella schools and numerous other public buildings and fine modern residences. Dreyfus is one of the pioneers of Anaheim and was the first man to improve the business district by erecting a modern building. In reference to setting back his building, Dreyfus was quoted as saying he was "ready to consider any fair proposition."

WAS READY TO SELL GARAGE TO KIDNAPER LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1—"When I first saw the picture of Floyd and Art Carr on the front page of the newspapers, in connection with the kidnaping of Mrs. Witherell, I immediately that they were heroes and had caught the men who abducted the Hollywood woman—little did I think they were the real kidnapers." This was the declaration today of William F. Skelton, proprietor of a garage at 717 West Sixteenth-st, who has known the Carrs for nearly two years, and whose regard for Floyd Carr was so high that he had entered into negotiations to sell him a half interest in his business. MID-CENTRAL HAS FINE OIL SHOWING Stockholders in the Mid-Central Oil Co., principally Anaheim men, were feeling jubilant today over the excellent showings of oil and gas uncovered when the bit was in 15 feet of oil sand at 4080 feet. The well has been looking good for the last two weeks and the new showings prompt the belief that the well will come in within a few days. A Los Angeles broker attempted to obtain an option on 100,000 shares of the company's stock but the local men declined the offer. BANDITS GET $15,000 FROM CHICAGO BANK CHICAGO, Feb. 1—Five auto bandits, each carrying two revolvers, entered the Kenwood Trust & Savings bank just as it was opening today, held up six employees and escaped with between $10,000 and $15,000.

S. Girl’s Assailant “HAY-SEED” BAND WILL TELL OF FUN SATURDAY NIGHT “Rube” Musicians Will Tour Other Orange-co Cities Saturday Afternoon. The latest plan to arouse interest in the fiesta and mid-winter mardi gras of the Anaheim Elks’ band here Saturday night was announced today by Manager A. E. Beard. The plan is to make a tour of Orange-co cities with at least part of the band on a truck. The bandmen will be dressed as rubes, the plan being to present a “hay-seed” bunch of musicians and give an inkling of the fun and merry-making that is to run rampant Saturday evening. The tour of the outside points will be made early Saturday afternoon and will include Fullerton, Brea, Yorba Linda, Orange and Santa Ana. Interest in the home-talent carnival and fiesta is being manifest on all sides reported Board today. Mexican Suspected of Orangethorpe Attack More than 200 men were scouring the county last night in the vicinity of Fullerton and Anaheim searching for a man supposed to be a Mexican who attempted an assault upon Miss Gertrude Wents, 14-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Wents, rancher, who live on the old Roy Trapp place on Brookhurst-rd., as she was returning home from school shortly before 4 c’clock yesterday afternoon. Fortunately the man never got his hands on the girl, as she outran him, screaming as she went. He pursued her for 50 or 100 yards, then darted into an orange grove and disappeared. The girl continued running until she reached the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Smith at the corner of Orangethorpe-ave and Brookhurst-rd., where she reached safety and the police were summoned. The girl, who is a student at the Fullerton high school, got off the high school bus at the corner of TIRED OF TALK ON ECONOMY, ASSERTS CAL. WANTS ACTION Woodworth Clumm of Better America Federation Stirs 50 Orange-co Men Last Night California is tired of legislative talk about economy and wants action. Woodworth Clumm, managing director of the Better America Federation with headquarters in Los Angeles, said in a stirring address before about 50 Orange-co men at a dinner in the I. O. O. F. hall here last evening. “California leads all other states in taxes per capita with a total of $19.76,” said Clumm. This lacks only .24 of one cent of being twice the total per capita tax in the next highest state and there is one state with tax of but $1.20 per person. There are 11 states with combined tax rate less than California’s. Illinois has $3.08 and Iowa $4.25. 2 KIDNAPERS HAVE COLLAPSED IN JAIL LOS ANGELES. Feb. 1.—Cowering in an inner cell at the county jail, Floyd Carr and Arthur Carr, confessed kidnappers of Mrs. Gladys Witherell, attractive wife of O. S. Witherell, Hollywood broker, were in a state of collapse today as extra guards patrolled the street in front of the jail. Because repeated warnings that summary action might be attempted despite the haze with which the prisoners were taken into court and arrangements made for them to be sentenced to prison tomorrow morning, Sheriff John C. Cline ordered the jail closely guarded thruout the night. However, no untoward action occurred. Sentence of from 10 years to life imprisonment is to be imposed to morrow morning by Superior Judge Reeve. COMPLETE BIG BLDG. INSIDE TWO MONTHS Within less than 60 days after construction was begun, tenants were moving into the new Lamb garage building on W. Center-st today. Feb. 1. Wilson & Bever, Anaheim contractors, began work on the big building Dec. 5. Today, H. S. Gillette, local representative of the J. De Veaux Oldsmobile agency, and the May Motor Co., Orange-co distributors for the Nash, were moving into their attractive-new quarters. The building is 100x100 feet square, affording 10,000 square feet of floor space, and cost $18,000. A. U. W. CO. COMMITTEE WILL MEET SATURDAY C. C. Chapman, Samuel Kraemer and S. W. McCulloch met this morning and appointed a committee of 11 to consider the affairs of the Ana-teron. Fortunately the man never got his hands on the girl, as she outran him, screaming as she went. He pursued her for 50 or 100 yards, then darted into an orange grove and disappeared. The girl continued running until she reached the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence E. Smith at the corner of Orangethpe-ave and Brookhurst-rd, where she reached safety and the police were summoned. The girl, who is a student at the Fullerton high school, got off the high school bus at the corner of Brookhurst-rd and Orangethpe-ave and had walked slowly north on Brookhurst about 250 yards studying her lesson as she went. Suddenly she heard a footstep behind her, and glancing over her shoulder was extremely frightened to behold a masked man almost within an arm's length of her. Discovered, he made a motion with his hand and said, "Till shoot you" and tried to grab her. She escaped him and ran back south on Brookhurst. This alone saved her, the officers think, since if she had run the other way he would have surely caught her, screened as they were by the orange trees. She was so frightened she was unable to give an accurate description of him and was unable to tell whether he wore a white mask or a black one. She also was unable to say positively whether he was an American or a Mexican but declared by the way he talked she believed him to be a Mexican. She stated he wore a black hat, a dark blue coat and overalls. Since he escaped thru an orchard, he also wore a muddy pair of shoes. She shot him to be about five feet, five inches tall and weigh about 150 pounds. Altho the girl did not see the wheel it is apparent, officers say, that the man came close behind her on a ladies' bicycle, since the tracks are there showing where he followed her, and the wheel was found near the scene of the attempted assault. It it thrud identification of the wheel that the officers' greatest hopes lie. If it develops that the wheel was stolen, the working out of the case will be rendered extremely difficult. The sheriff has requested that anyone knowing of a man who has recently been seen riding a ladies' bicycle of this description to notify the officers at once. The bicycle's number is 95,299, black frame with green rims, knobbled tread, high handle bars with right-hand grip gone, U. S. tires and Atherton coast brake. It is that the wheel is of Tribune manufacture. Mont Jackson, driver of the Fullerton fire-truck, received the call which came in about 10 minutes before 4 o'clock and in less than 20 minutes after the attempted assault, Ed Thwing, city marshal, his deputy Joe Marillo, and Frank Morse, who happened to be at the city hall when the call came in, were at the scene of the attack, and were following the man's tracks thru the orange orchard. He doubled back on his tracks a number of times, apparently looking for his wheel, the locator director of the Better America Federation with headquarters in Los Angeles, said in a stirring address before about 50 Orange-co men at a dinner in the I.O. O.F. hall here last evening. "California leads all other states in taxes per capita with a total of $19.76," said Clumm. This lacks only 24 of one cent of being twice the total per capita tax in the next highest state and there is one state with tax of $1.20 per person. There are 11 states with combined tax rate less than California's. Illinois has $3.08 and Iowa $4.25. If Californians could have their taxes applied direct, instead of a cent here and a nickel there indirectly on articles consumed within 24 hours the entire state would be aroused. The time has come when overlapping commissions shall be discarded." His listeners were much interested in references to the address by Governor Lowen last Friday in Los Angeles on how 120 commissions were simmered down to nine divisions of state government in Illinois. "Governor Lowen said that America has made greater progress in business in the last 70 years than any other people at any time," reported Clumm. "The only thing that has not kept step has been the interest of the people in the business of government. If the same brains could be applied to government that have been applied to business a miracle would be performed." Clumm told of the under-cover search that has been made for radicals now flocking to So.Cal. He said a man was being placed on a soapbox on Los Angeles-st in Los Angeles by the Better American Federation, preaching Americanism, for every soap-boxer preaching radicalism. He said that on a recent visit to Santa Ana he had stated, to show how far the insiduous influence of the present wave of radicalism was spreading, that a number of Orange-co teachers had signed the charter for a teachers' union. He said he had been taken to task for this by a Santa Ana man because he had not mentioned names. He said the entire charter list, not only for Orange-co but for Los Angeles, had been obtained. He was pleased to state that many of the names had been withdrawn while the remaining were being reached effectively. Chuml introduced Dist.Mgr Oliver, of Brawley, and Assistant Arnold who will be in Orange-co for several weeks pushing the membership campaign for the Better America Federation. "We believe the people of Orange-co will appreciate the value of such an organization as an assurance for the continuation of a chance to do business," declared Clumm. Chairman D. Eymann Huff asserted he believed there were 5000 men in Orange-co who would like to be aligned with such an organization. The nominating committee reported the nominations of 15 for directors recommending an executive director of the Better America Federation with headquarters in Los Angeles, said in a stirring address before about 50 Orange-co men at a dinner in the I.O. O.F. hall here last evening. "California leads all other states in taxes per capita with a total of $19.76," said Clumm.

If Californians could have their taxes applied direct, instead of a cent here and a nickel there indirectly on articles consumed within 24 hours the entire state would be aroused.

His listeners were much interested in references to the address by ex-Governor Lowen last Friday in Los Angeles on how 120 commissions were simmered down to nine divisions of state government in Illinois. "Governor Lowen said that America has made greater progress in business in the last 70 years than any other people at any time," reported Clumm.

Hardy for School to See Dad’s New Gusher Miss Helen Thompson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. M. Thompson, was tardy this morning at the Fullerton high school, but Miss Thompson had a reason, and it “went” with Mr. Plummer, principal. Indeed, Mr. Plummer gave her a No. 1 mark, because she “handed” him an interesting bit of news. A new 1500-barrel gusher came in on her father’s property in the Richfield district yesterday, and she went out to look over the new gusher before coming to school this morning. Mr. Plummer declared that if all his students could have such luck he would be willing to grant them a vacation, and let them make a tour of the continent, provided they would take him along as chaperone. ANAHEIM DELIGHTS NOTED VISITORS Does Anaheim look good to outsiders? It does. J.

Woodmansie, of Hunsaker & Woodmansie, nationally known underwriters with offices throughout the country, in the city yesterday, stated that for its size Anaheim has any other city in the country backed off the boards. "Your cosmopolitanism, general appearance of business enterprise, public improvements and evidences of civic pride beat anything I have witnessed in any town approaching the size of Anaheim anywhere in the U.S. and I have been in a lot of them," said Woodmansie. Byron G. Harlan, of Harlan & Collins, nationally known singers of phonographic record fame, who appeared at the high school last night, was equally impressed with Anaheim. "We have just reached the coast after a long tour of the east. In every city back there you hear of nothing but Los Angeles and So. Cal. Twenty years ago when the east that of Cal. it that of San Francisco, Now No. Cal. is in the discard and the east is talking of So. Cal. as it never did before. KRAEMER BUYS MORE SO. L. A.
