XXIV—No. 158 ORANGE-COST LEGION COMMANDER STIRS AUDIENCE ON NEEDS OF DISABLED Says Crippled Vets in Hospitals Increasing at Rate of 2000 Per Month. The dogmas of the American Legion were expounded last night at the Fullerton Ebell-Legion meeting at the Fullerton high school auditorium by Burton Fittes, state commander, and the condition of the disabled soldiers was pictured. There are 641,000 disabled soldiers in the U. S. and 5000 a month entering hospitals and 3000 a month being discharged from hospitals. This means that those having to be taken care of in hospitals is increasing at the rate of 2000 a month. Commander Flitts stated that today there are 52,000 members in the American Legion in Cal. These stand for the exclusion of Japanese picture brides into America because this is against the laws of home-life and morality and home-life and morality are the backbone of America. Take away the influence of these and America would go the way of Greece and Rome. The Legion is against the alien who came to this country. C. of C. Directors to Plan Valencia Show Anaheim C. of C. directors and other representative men of the district will meet around the dinner table at C:30 this evening in the C. of C. rooms for a discussion of plans for the big Valencia show to be pulled off here in May. It is expected that considerable will be accomplished this evening toward the preparations for this, the biggest affair ever held in Orange-co. ORANGETHORPE TAX TANGLE DISCUSSED Trustees of the Orangethorpe school district-will be asked to appear before supervisors at their next regular meeting, Feb. 8, for a conference on the matter of taxation. Orangethorpe is now an incorporated municipality of the sixth class and at the present time is included in more than one school district. Assessor James Sleeper is puzzled as to how he shall assess the district and says he must-know before Feb. 10. Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson says that in his opinion the city of Orangethorpe created a new school district by becoming legally incorporated. As he interprets the law the county su- PEETE JURY WITH WO TO GO J. W.

These stand for the exclusion of Japanese picture brides into America because this is against the laws of home-life and morality and home-life and morality are the backbone of America. Take away the influence of these and America would go the way of Greece and Rome. The Legion is against the alien who came to this country to avoid military service in his own land and then deserted America in her hour of need, and is against the use of foreign languages in public assemblies. This does not mean the exclusion of any foreign language, nor oven German, from the public schools. There are 538 publications in foreign languages numbering 38 tongues, in the U.S., and the Legion would have a duplicate of these in American. Mr. Fitts told of the efforts of the Legion to obtain justice for the disabled soldiers. In Dec., 1919, $30 a month was the base compensation for disabled men and this has been increased to $100 base pay under the influence of the Legion, so there is so much red tape to be gone thru that many disabled soldiers are suffering. The Legion also obtained a $5000 war risk insurance payment for the near relatives of the boys who died in the service, and convinced the government officials that tuberculosis and insanity are total disabilities. These things were obtained thrue the Sweet bill. He stated that tho the Legion went on record last August as favoring a state bonus for soldiers, members of the Legion who were in the legislature knew the inadvisability of this themselves and there is no chance of putting this thru. However, there is a chance that home aid, land aid, and vocational training bills will be put thru. He said reports that the Legion sides officially with either capital or labor are false, since the Legion is absolutely neutral between so-called labor and so-called capital. However, the Legion is uncompromisingly against the I. W. W.'s and Bolshevists, he said. He urged everyone to attend the Flying Circus—All-Star Show at Crescent and Wilshire-bldd, Los Angeles, next Sunday for the benefit of disabled soldiers. He said that one woman refused to buy a ticket to this because it is being held on Sunday, and she says she is a Christian. Some people have queer ideas of Christianity, he said. "If Christ were here he would doubtless say again." As ye have done it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it even unto me." "Different people have different ideas of Christianity. For instance, the American soldier lost in No Man's Land and finding his way into a trench and to the mouth of a dugout and knowing not whether it was American or German listened when pear before supervisors at their next regular meeting. Feb. 8, for a conference on the matter of taxation. Orangethorpe is now an incorporated municipality of the sixth class and at the present time is included in more than one school district. Assessor James Sleeper is puzzled as to how he shall assess the district and says he must know before Feb. 10. Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson says that in his opinion the city of Orange-thorpe created a new school district by becoming legally incorporated. As he interprets the law the county supervisors have, since the incorporation, lost jurisdiction over the territory involved within the city limits. In giving this opinion to the board of supervisors at their regular meeting yesterday Nelson cited two opinions of superior courts. He pointed out the fact that the city of Uplands faced the same problem when it incorporated. Uplands, according to Nelson, was originally a part of the Ontario school district and under the jurisdiction of the supervisors of San Bernardino-co'. But with the incorporation Uplands became a school district. The school board decided the issue is simply a question of the practical application of the law one way or the other and that it is better to have an understanding with the trustees of the school district. SEES 1500 MEMBERS WITHIN FEW YEARS The Methodist White Temple has great possibilities for development. Dr. Gelissinger told a largely attended mid-week forum at the church last night. "Do you know that three of the 10 largest churches in Methodism are located in So. Cal.-First Church, Los Angeles; First Church, Long Beach, and First Church, Pasadena?" he asked. "There is no reason why a great Methodist congregation cannot be founded here. Our recent census showed within Anaheim 250 Methodist families. I believe that with the territory contributory to this church there will be within a few years a membership of 1500. I feel we are developing a spiritual church." PROBATION HINGES UPON WIFE'S STAND Whether or not J. H.' Davis, serving an indeterminate term in the county jail for passing an alleged fictitious check for $150, is granted probation by Superior Judge West depends upon the attitude of Davis' wife, who appeared in court yesterday when Davis made application for probation. Judge West continued the case and Mrs. Davis is to decide whether or not she will live with her husband. The couple have two children, both of whom were in court. 24 "BIKES" IN S. A.

"Different people have different ideas of Christianity. For instance, the American soldier lost in No Man's Land and finding his way into a trench and to the mouth of a dugout and knowing not whether it was American or German listened when from far down below there came a voice: 'Who in the hell played that last ace?' Overwhelmed with joy, the lost soldier murmured, 'Thank God, I am among Christians.'" The entertainment was opened last night by the rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" by the Fullerton band. Then a short address was delivered by C. C. Chapman, who presided. Mr. Chapman reminded the people of war days when they sent their boys away with a smile, and the promises they made these boys. There were 1800 boys from northern orange-co who responded to the call. Stunts were put on by the Anaheim post of the American Legion, comprising tricks with cards and slates. According to these, C. C. Chapman will be the next governor of Cal. A. W. Hennrikus of the Disabled War Veterans, of Los Angeles, spoke on the injustice that is being done the disabled veterans. He said this percentage in Americanism gets his goat. Either you are an American or you are not. "When you come back, and you will come back, a whole grateful world will be waiting for you," he quoted from the promises of the American people to the boys who marched away to battle, but alas! how vain those promises sound now to the boys who came back disabled and are forced to tramp the streets homeless and hungry. How soon the American public can forget! There are now more than 800 homeless boys in Los Angeles who are unable to work because of wounds received in the war. They roam the streets, live in the alleys and sleep anywhere they can. (Continued on Last Page) PROBATION HINGES UPON WIFE'S STAND Whether or not J. H.' Davis, serving an indeterminate term in the county jail for passing an alleged fictitious check for $150, is granted probation by Superior Judge West depends upon the attitude of Davis' wife, who appeared in court yesterday when Davis made application for probation. Judge West continued the case and Mrs. Davis is to decide whether or not she will live with her husband. The couple have two children, both of whom were in court. Davis held one child in his arms during the hearing. Mrs. Davis told the court that she was not sure she could live with her husband after he had been convicted of a felony and then released and she wanted time to think it over. Testimony was brot out tending to show that Davis is a good provider when he works. He is a cement finisher by trade and says he makes about $7 per day. EXCUSES 10 OF 40 JURORS SUMMONED Of the 40 Orange-co citizens called for jury service in the last venire drawn by the board of supervisors 10 were excused by Superior Judge Williams. And of this original 40 it was learned today that one is deceased. This was Mrs. Etta Swaze, of Garden Grove, who died on May 16, last. When a deputy sheriff called to serve the jury summons he was informed of the woman's death. The present jurors comprising 29 residents are subject to call for the next six months. 30 ENTERTAINED AT BIRTHDAY DINNER GARDEN GROVE, Feb. 3.—About 30 guests were entertained at a birthday dinner Sunday, in honor of Mr. Ross Killenbeck and Mrs. Bernice Gleason, at the Great Hope ranch in Fullerton, which is owned by Mr. Frank Bisett.

W. Rudd of Downey Suddenly Stricken Before Time to Start Trial Today. LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3—With the defense ready to bring its case to a sudden dramatic climax by calling the accused woman to the stand to tell her own story, the trial of Mrs. Louise Peete, charged with the murder of Jacob C. Denton, was delayed today by the unexpected illness of one of the jurors. Juror J. W. Rudd of Downey was suddenly stricken ill in the jury room before the trial was scheduled to start this morning. A physician was summoned to the courtroom and examined Rudd while the resumption of the trial was delayed. After hearing the report of the physician on Rudd's condition Superior Judge Willis adjourned court until 1:30 o'clock. Bailiff Martin Aguirre, who has charge of the jury, stated Rudd was stricken with a severe attack of indigestion, but probably would be able to take his place in the jury box when court convened this afternoon.

NO POWER SHORTAGE SAYS EDISON CHIEF Further assurance that there will be no power shortage in So. Cal in 1921 is given by the report of the completion of another hug generator at the So. Cal. Edison Co.'s Big Creek power house No. 2, according to a statement by W. L. Delimiling, local manager for the company, who has just received a communication to this effect from George C. Ward, the company's vice president in charge of construction and operation. "The new machine has a generating capacity of 22,000 horse power and is the third unit of this size to be installed in power house No. 2," writes Ward. GROWERS PLEASED WITH ATTITUDE OF SWING ON TARIFF Congressman-elect Puts in Busy Two Hours With Citrus and Walnut Men Here. Phil D. Swing, of Imperial, the "live-wire" congressman republicans and democrats alike voted for last November in this district, put in a busy two hours meeting representative local men this morning at the Anaheim C. of C. The burden of the conferences was need of the citrus and walnut industries for a protective tariff. He held extended conferences with Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Assn., and Manager W. H. Schureman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn., representing the citrus industry, and President J. J. Dwyer and Manager George M. Ross of the Anaheim Walnut Growers Assn., representing the walnut industry. He met a number of other prominent citizens who called to pay their respects. These included J. H. Whitaker, Thos. McFadden, Thos. Wilkinson and others. It was the universal expression of those who met Swing today, many for the first time since election, that Suddenly stricken ill in the jury room before the trial was scheduled to start this morning. A physician was summoned to the courtroom and examined Rudd while the resumption of the trinil was delayed. After hearing the report of the physician on Rudd's condition Superior Judge Willis adjourned court until 1:30 o'clock. Ballif Martin Aguirre, who has charge of the jury, stated Rudd was stricken with a severe attack of indigestion, but probably would be able to take his place in the jury box when court convened this afternoon. Should Rudd's condition prevent him from serving further in the case it was announced, the 13th juror, who was sworn for just such an emergency, will replace him and Rudd will be permitted to return to his home. Public Defender W. T. Aggeler officially announced that Mrs. Peete would take the witness stand after eight witnesses for the defense testified. He said she would be the last witness called and considering the delay caused by Rudd's illness, she should either go on the stand late today or early tomorrow. One of the eight witnesses to precede Mrs. Peete on the stand was Richard C. Peete, her husband, who was prepared to contradict the testimony of prosecution witnesses who related certain admissions they said she made to them in Peete's presence. 24 "BIKES" STOLEN IN S. A. LAST MONTH Bicycle thefts in Santa Ana are almost a daily occurrence. So many bicycles are stolen that a special file of the thefts and recoveries is kept in the office of City Marshal Sam Jernigan. During January 24 bicycles were reported stolen by owners. Of this number ten were recovered either by the police or by owners. Some of the wheels are found in the course of a day or two and others are picked up a week or two after they disappear. NOTED OSTEOPATH WILL VISIT COUNTY Members of the Orange-co Osteopathic Assn., were today completing arrangements for the visit of Dr. W. E. Waldo, of Seattle, president of the American Osteopathic Assn., in Orange-co Friday. Dr. Waldo is making a tour of the Western states and will hold clinics in Anaheim and Santa Ana Friday. The program announced today includes a clinic in Anaheim with Dr. W. W. Bigham in the morning from 9 to 12. A banquet will be held at St. Ann's Inn, Santa Ana, at 6:30 p.m. Following the banquet the members of the association will adjourn to the home of Dr. Mary E. Wright, 210 N. Ross, Santa Ana, where the profession will be discussed. Dr. Waldo is considered at the top competition of another bug generator at The So. Cal. Edison Co.'s Big Creek power house No. 2, according to a statement by W. L. Deimling, local manager for the company, who has just received a communication to this effect from George C. Ward, the company's vice president in charge of construction and operation. "The new machine has a generating capacity of 22,000 horse power and is the third unit of this size to be installed in power house No. 2," writes Ward. "As there are two machines of the same size in power house No. 1, this makes a total of five, with an aggregate capacity of 110,000 horse power now being supplied from Huntington lake reservoir. The generator was given its first run Thursday night, and after a few adjustments was put into full service." "This is the first generating unit to be brot in by the Edison Co since its operations were restricted by the war, and is the first step of its broad program, which contemplates additional facilities to generate 750,000 horse power in the Big Creek territory." Mr. Ward also states that construction is nearly finished on the company's Kern river plant No. 3, which will consist of two generators, each turning out 20,000 horse power. This plant will be finished and its output of 40,000 horse power will be available for distribution about March 1. "The full significance of this contribution to the state's power resources will be more readily understood when it is realized that these two new plants, with a total of 62,000 horse power under normal operation, will be equivalent to more than 1,000,000 barrels of oil annually," concluded Mr. Ward. STEWART FRUIT CO. HEADS IN ANAHEIM Pres. W. H. Stewart, Vice-Pres. Geo. A. Charters and T. A. Doyle, New York representative of the Stewart Fruit Co., called on Manager W. H. Stewart of the local packing house today. The house here has been enlarged recently and with the additional equipment is as up-to-date as any in the Stewart system. A new coat of paint and a new sign are being added this week. The growth of the local business is evidenced by the fact that four times as many navels are being shipped this year as a year ago. President Stewart, in commenting on the market situation said: "Don't look for as easy sailing as last year. This will be a season when marketing experience will come in handy." MAN WINNER OF $320 FOR AUTO ACCIDENT Superior Judge West has rederied judgment for $320,90 in favor of H. Sykes, who brot suit against the United Auto clubs of America, H. Hanson, Homer E. Garrett and J. M. Elmquay. He held extended conferences with Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Assn., and Manager W. H. Schurmeier of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn., representing the citrus industry, and President J. J. Dwyer and Manager George M. Ross of the Anaheim Walnut Growers Assn., representing the walnut industry. He met a number of other prominent citizens who called to pay their respects. These included J. H. Whitaker, Thos McFadden, Thos Wilkinson and others. It was the universal expression of those who met Swing today, many for the first time since election, that he invariably impressed them with his sincerity and earnestness. There was no disposition to make large promises, hopeless of fulfillment. Congressman Swinger appeared to be well versed already with the needs of the walnut and lemon industry," said Geo. Ross, following the meeting. "He realizes the difficulties he will be up against in Washington in view of the general impression that owners of land valued at $2500 and higher cannot need protection." He also appreciated the cost of developing an orchard on valuable land, where it takes 10 years or more before revenue really starts, the expense for cultivation, irrigation, etc. "We found him already armed with the latest data on the industry by The Cal. Walnut Growers Assn., which has voted to request a four-cent tariff." Directors of the latter organization were almost divided on a higher request, many feeling that at least five cents should be suggested." G. W. Sandilands offered to provide the congressman-elect with photographs with affidavits attached showing where high-priced lemon groves were being uprooted, tons of fruit discarded and much unpicked because it was unprofitable at present prices. Swing was much taken with the idea, holding that "you've got to believe what you see," and feeling that such visual evidence would be the most effective that could be presented to Washington. "I found the congressman-elect open-minded and anxious to do his best for our interest," said Sandilands, and I believe he can and will do us a lot of good. He appreciated the loss citrus growers are now experiencing and the dire result if the American growers are not encouraged. The American grower is unlike the Italian grower. Whereas the latter will hold on in face or repeated obstacles, the American grower will turn to something else. If the American grower is not encouraged, the Italian grower will have a monopoly of the business and will take all of the money for high-priced lemons out of the country. "I found Mr. Swing similarly-minded on the matter of freight rates; that they will adjust themselves as the railroads continue to lose revenue thru loss of business." MID-CENTRAL DEEP IN RICH OIL SANDS A prominent oil man, after visiting the Mid-Central well at Huntington Beach yesterday stated that in his opinion there is now no question but that the Mid-Central is going to be a big producer. The well is now 4125 feet, the hole straight and clean. Rich oil sands were encountered at about 4070 feet. Supt. Edens plans to drill to about 4200 feet thus proving the extent of the oil sands, then casing will be set, and the well cemented for water shut off. This being a local company much interest was shown yesterday when word was passed that the success of the Mid-Central was practically assured. DOESN'T REMEMBER LICENSE A Ford car belonging to Charles W. Bullock of Long Beach was stolen while the owner was attending a show at that place Tuesday night. This is according to a report received by Sheriff Jackson. The owner of the car does not remember the number of his license.

Sykes, who brot suit against the United Auto clubs of America, H. Hanson, Homer E. Garrett and J. M. Flowers. The case was tried Jan. 20. The suit was based on an accident on the Whittier-rd near La Habra on July 30, last. Sykes alleged that he was driving a car when he was struck by a machine driven by H. Hanson and which was insured thru the United Auto Clubs. Hanson and Garrett did not appear at the time of the trial. The testimony brot out at the time of the trial showed that the defendants were to blame for the accident in that their car was being driven on the wrong side of the road. S. A. WOMAN'S WILL FILED FOR PROBATE Petition for probate of the will of Viola Wilson, who died at her home 211 W. Chestnut-st, Santa Ana, has been filed.

TRAVELING MOTOR CLINIC IS COMING The traveling motor clinic instituted by the California Tuberculosis association is to reach Orange-co on March 7 and will be in the county for one week. The dates announced for the clinic for this county are as follows: Santa BREA DEPARTMENT AND G. G. HARDWARE STORES ARE ROBBED Large Quantities of Valuable Merchandise Successfully Removed in Early Morning Hours. Two daring burglaries were staged in No. Orange-co last night when entrance was successfully made at two stores and large quantities of valuable merchandise removed. The Woodruff-Henegan Co. department and grocery store at Brea was entered from a skylight and several hundred dollars worth of dry- goods, wearing apparel, groceries and tobacco were taken. The Frank Blissett Hardware Co. store at Garden Grove was entered by breaking thru a back door and at least $150 worth of guns, watches and cutlery was taken. The irony of the Brea burglary was the fact that only last night the Brea city council appointed Sam J. Hasley night patrolman. He was to start work tonight. This extra police protection had been decided upon following a second burglary Tuesday night within ten days at the Union Pool hall in Brea. TRAVELING MOTOR CLINIC IS COMING The traveling motor clinic instituted by the California Tuberculosis association is to reach Orange-co on March 7 and will be in the county for one week. The dates announced for the clinic for this county are as follows: Santa Ana, March 7 and 8; Orange, March 9 and 10; Anaheim, March 11 and 12; Fullerton, March 14 and 15. The following announcement concerning the clinic has been issued from the office of the California Tuberculosis association at Fresno: "An entirely new angle of the theory that a country progresses apace with its transportation facilities has been demonstrated by the recent report of Mrs. E. L. M. Tate-Thompson, executive secretary of the California Tuberculosis association, which deals with the newly instituted traveling motor clinic. In her reports Mrs. Thompson stresses the fact that the steps toward the prevention of tuberculosis which have attracted national attention have been greatly accelerated by the facility with which hitherto unvisited districts have been visited and clinics and surveys instituted through the motor clinic. "The traveling motor clinic in the West is a California institution which the great mass of residents of the state are a partner to, for it was made possible by the funds derived from the Christmas seal sale. "National authorities on the prevention and control of tuberculosis have been watching with interest the progress of the Golden state. In California the attraction for those in ill health is greater than that of any other section of the country. Thus its problems are greater and the extent of the territory to be covered increases them. The institution of the motor clinic was a natural sequence and the success which attended its inauguration brought a number of experts to California to study its methods of operation. "The traveling motor clinic is the hospital brought to the door of those unable to seek out examination and care. Hundreds of cases of tubercular tendencies have been discovered by the corps of clinicians that travel with it and that number of cases arrested and the attendant misery and economic loss minimized. "The very novelty of the institution has been of great value for people who could not be attracted to clinics at hospitals have taken advantage of the examinations offered." "The clinic is equipped with facilities for diagnosis and full examination. It is accompanied by experienced clinicians and carries the very latest appliances known to science for such work. It travels from town to town and from county to county. Its doors are open to people that could never hope to reach a hospital and they are advised to stay at the state." At the Garden Grove hardware store, a bar was priced off the rear door, indicating that the burglar were familiar with the inside. There was missed one 32 Celt automatic revolver, No. 352,935, worth $27.50; one 32 Iver-Johnson double action revolver, No. 304B, worth $14.50; one TO something else. the grower is not emanial will of the business and the money for high of the country.
