Anaheim Is Fastest Growing City This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding that Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others In This Field. VOL. XXIV—No. 172 SIGN UP 1000-A Charge 17 Fullerton YOUTH PLAYS WITH MATCHES; HOUSE & FURNITURE BURNED Fire Department Handicapped By Lack of Pressure in Mains and No Pump on Truck. The residence of J. C. Smith at the corner of Broad and Citron-sits was completely destroyed by fire shortly after noon today. It was a five-room house, not strictly modern, the Smiths having planned to start construction soon on an up-to-date bungalow. The fire originated from matches with which a four-year-old boy was playing. He had secreted himself in a closet while igniting them and set some things on fire from which the blaze spread rapidly. The youth had sufficient presence of mind to notify his mother that the house was on fire. The fire department responded quickly but lack of pressure in the mains and of a pump on the truck Believe Many Minor Robberies Explained Seventeen Fullerton grammar school boys, all but one under the age of 16, were hailed before Judge French this morning on the charge of theft or complicity therein. It developed that there had been a boys' club organized by these youngsters with headquarters in an old garage on Amerige-ave, and that the primary motto of this club had been, "keep all you have and take all you can get," without worrying over the minor fact that what they could get belonged to someone else. Altho no evidence was brot out in the testimony, of which transcripts will be made for presentation to the prosecuting attorney's office, that the members of the club had broken into anyone's house or store, several minor thefts committed in the open (under shelter of darkness) had been made, the boys admitting them but each trying to shift the blame to the other. There had been so many of these minor thefts, however, that they amounted to a very large sum, the officers refused to give an offence. DR.

The youth had sufficient presence of mind to notify his mother that the house was on fire. The fire department responded quickly but lack of pressure in the mains and of a pump on the truck handicapped their efforts so that the house and furnishings were a total loss. Mr. Smith's daughter, Miss Lula Smith, an employee at the Anaheim Paint and Paper Co., was a heavy loser. None of her clothing, which included a $100 fur coat and several suits valued at $40 and $50 each were saved. She also lost a new plano. The only things saved from the house were two suits of Mrs. Smith's clothing, a trunk of valuable papers, a suit of boys' clothing and two dresses belonging to Mrs. Smith. The estimated loss on the house and contents was $4000. Insurance was carried only on the house. C. OF C. APARTMENTS ENTIRELY PAID FOR Samuel Kraemer has invested $600 in the Chamber of Commerce apartments, stating, at the same time, that he can be relied on for more, should the Chamber find it advisable to construct more units of the structures, Malcom A. Fraser, secretary, said today. Mr. Kraemer believes this is a real accomplishment, and wants to help it. Fritz Yungbluth, for $200; George Dunton, for $200; Ed Schneider, for $100; and Wm. Jackson for the same amount, are also investors, and with Joe Stroup, who takes the amount remaining unpaid on the materials, this makes full payment guaranteed. Chairman Eygabroad, of the Housing Committee, which manages this undertaking, stated at the last Chamber meeting, that he would begin at the end of 90 days, to make returns to investors, with interest at 10 per cent. He believes the totals should be returned with interest in 18 months or less. The apartments, which are fully insured, return something over $300 a month, net, at present, and are kept filled with desirable tenants, without any trouble.

JOHNSTON MAKES FIRST SUBSCRIPTION TO VALENCIA SHOW Takes Out Block of 20 $25 Memberships; No Difficulty Expected in Raising $10,000 Fund. Dr. H. A.

Revoke Sentence of Deaf Mute to Prison After Superior Judge Williams at Santa Ana this morning had pronounced sentence of from one to ten years at San Quentin upon George Ahlefeld, deaf mute, of Orange, on a charge of stealing an auto at the county seat Jan 12, he revoked the sentence at the instance of Probation Officer Paul Wright who stated he would take Ahlefeld into his own home for a period of three months and look after him. The other deaf mutes, Chandler Thompson and Walter Fleming, accused with Ahlefeld, were granted probation, the court suspending judgment for five years. Margaret Burgess, a deaf mute of Los Gatos, appealed in behalf of Fleming, stating he would be assured of a job on the Burgess five-acre ranch at Los Gatos. CALIF. VEGETABLES MAY BE SENT EAST BY SHIP VIA CANAL W. E. Whitacre Says Whole Atlantic Seaboard May Be Market for Local Product. High freight rates which are playing havoc with the local vegetable market, may be at least partly overcome by the use of the all-water route from here to Atlantic coast points, according to W. E. Whitacre Northern Orange-co manager of the California Vegetable Union. Boats have been used to transport citrus fruits to New York, at a rate substantially less than that charged by the railroads for the transcontinental haul and the citrus shippers are getting ready to send a cargo to London. Mr. Whitacre says he sees no reason why most vegetables can not be shipped the same way as the trip can be made about 12 or 13 days which is about as fast as railroad Entertainment at White Temple Monday Evening The Young People's department of the Methodist White Temple Sunday school will present a home talent entertainment in the auditorium of the church on Monday evening at 8 o'clock.

Four thousand men will be added to the working force of the Ford Motor Co.'s Highland Park plant, it was announced today.

WOMAN LEADER IN HUNT FOR LIQUOR LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19.—Secret investigators, including a handsome gown and attractive woman operative, are investigating liquor conditions in the big hotels of Los Angeles and San Francisco, according to authentic reports today. It is understood that these government officials, strangers in Los Angeles, mingle with the wealthy guests at the hotels and learn the source from which alleged contra-brand liquor is being dispensed. That legal proceedings under the terms of the Volstead act as well as criminal action against persons actively engaged in the sale or distribution of the liquor are contemplated, is widely reported about the federal building, but no official statement has been forthcoming. It is known that several operatives including the pretty woman booze sleuth, have been working in Los Angeles for several days. The raid on Fred Harlow's road house, near Culver City, and the evidence which caused the closing of the Vernon Country club resulted from the work of this secret band. JIMMIE HOWARD, SON OF JUDGE, SUCCUMBES Jimmie E. Howard, 18, youngest son of Judge and Mrs. J. S. Howard, passed away at the home, 322 S. Claudinia st., last night of apoplexy.

Besides his parents, he is survived by a brother, Dr. Horace Howard of Santa Ana, and a sister, Miss Adele Howard. Funeral arrangements have not been made, but will be announced later. GROVE VS. EL TORO IN CONTEST TODAY Garden Grove and El Toro baseball teams met on the El Toro diamond this afternoon. Blacholder pitched for the Grove team. This boy is "Gavvy" Cravath's latest find and is expected to sign with the Salt Lake club this season. HUGHES IN CABINET ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., 19.—Formal announcement of the appointment of Charles E. Hughes of New York in President-elect Harding's cabinet was made here today. Mr. Whitacre says he sees no reason why most vegetables can not be shipped the same way as the trip can be made in about 12 or 13 days which is about as fast as railroad shipment. This would open up the entire Atlantic seaboard to California vegetables and would afford such markets as Charlestown, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston and the territory adjacent to these important centers of population. It is believed that the use of the water route through the Panama canal may result in the discovery by the railroads that they can afford a little better rate on California products. ARREST BANDITS WHO ROB MAIL TRAIN MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb. 19.—"Buck" Allen and Robert Ford, alleged accomplices of the bandit who held up and robbed the mail car of the Northern Pacific railroad's North Coast Limited near Baileys, Minn., last night were arrested at Little Falls, Minn., early today after a running gunfight. The arrests were made by William J. McFetridge special agent of the Northern Pacific, and H.B. Presinger, deputy agent. Presinger and one of the alleged bandits were wounded. None of the registered mail has been recovered. Railway mail service officials today refused to make an estimate of the amount of loot obtained in the robbery, but unofficial estimates placed its value at approximately $100,000. BANDITS, AIEDD BY FOG, ELUDE POSSE LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19. — The police flying squadron and deputy sheriffs early today searched until after dawn through the beach country between Redondo Beach and Playa del Rey for two highwaymen who during the night committed a number of robberies. Officers reported that because of the fog the fugitives escaped. U. S. ASKS PROBE OF GIBBONEY'S DEATH WASHINGTON, Feb. 19. — The state department today cabled the American embassy at Mexico City and the American consul at Progreso Mexico, to investigate reports that D. Clarence Gibboney and party of Philadelphia, who were recently reported to have been drowned in Campeche bay during a storm, may have met with foul play. RAID DELAYS EMIGRANTS NEED COOPERATION TO BUILD CITY No tree will bear fruit without proper nourishment; no city will attain its full strength without proper backing. The tree reaches out its branches and its leaves and draws from the elements and produces fruit; its roots are deep seated and draw from the soil and the tree is strengthened by its foundation. All work together in harmony and cooperation. A city can be likened to a tree. The foundation of that city is its native products. Its citizens, both city and suburban, may be likened to the leaves of the tree which bring the invigorating life giving qualities to the branches which represent the business men of the city. Without the soil and oil resources there would be no Anaheim; without business men (branches of the tree), no citizen—the citizenry are really the beautifier of that tree—but all must work in harmony and cooperation for the production of fruits—while are pleasures, advantages, school, church and social and highways, and business and trading facilities and the enhancement of property values. The "build your home business center by trading with Anaheim merchants" campaign now being waged by the business men and the Plain Dealer is to focus the attention of the public of Northern Orange-co on the advantages from a pocketbook standpoint in trading with Anaheim merchants. The other day a man and wife went into a certain store in Anaheim, looked over the display of goods, thought it all very nice, but left saying they were going to Los Angeles where they would have a larger stock to select from. The merchant stated that probably they could find what they wanted at other Anaheim stores; he knew they would find prices and quality that would equal city prices and quality. But they went to Los Angeles, spent a day—and a hundred or so that should have been kept at home. A few days later this merchant had occasion to be delivering a small bill of goods in their home. While there he noticed the Los Angeles purchase. He learned what they had paid for the articles. "Well, I want you to drive down to the store with me and I'll show you the same article far below the price you paid plus your time and expense of going to the city," said the Anaheim merchant. The man went down with the business man who explained he did not want to go to the store first as there might be some suspicion that the stock number and price had been changed. The uncooperative citizen learned that he had paid $23 more for the two articles in the city plus his time and expense than he could have bought the same identical articles for in Anaheim. He didn't faint, but—well that merchant made a "Christian" out of that "trade-away-from-home" citizen. Garden Grove and El Toro baseball teams met on the El Toro diamond this afternoon. Blacholder pitched for the Grove team. This boy is "Gavvy" Gravath's latest find and is expected to sign with the Salt Lake club this season. HUGHES IN CABINET ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., 19. Formal announcement of the appointment of Charles E. Hughes of New York in President-elect Harding's cabinet was made here today. RAID DELAYS EMIGRANTS LIVERPOOL, Feb. 19. The first Sinn Fein raid in England occurred early today when members of that organization swooped down on a lodging house here and seized the tickets and passports of 20 Irishmen, who were preparing to sail for the United States on the liner Carmania this afternoon. It was said the Sinn Fein acted to prevent the Irishmen from emigrating to the United States. WOMAN SENTENCED TO LIFE LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19. Denying the motion for a new trial of the case by holding that no judicial errors had been committed, Superior Judge Houser today sentenced Mrs. Maybelle Roe, convicted of first-degree murder in the slaying of McCullough Graydon in a "rent row" at Venice, to life imprisonment at San Quentin penitentiary. WHO WILL ADOPT WAIF? Who will adopt the baby boy found on the front steps of the home of Dr. Willella Waffie, Santa Ana, last Sunday morning? According to Dr. Waffie, seven persons have made application for the little foundling. All of these, she says, are willing and anxious to give the baby a first class home. Three Santa Ana homes are open to the baby while other applications have come to Dr. Waffie from Orange, Brea, Buena Park and Fillmore. The baby is still at the Community hospital and will be kept there for a month or six weeks. He continues to improve daily, but the hospital authorities will not give him up until he has grown robust. The Plain Dealer for Job Printing. What Way by Trading in Anaheim in Dealer.

Denton, will be taken to the district court of appeal instead of the state supreme court, according to the announcement of Defense Attorneys W. J. Ford and H. G. Bodkin. The district court of appeal will hold sessions here in April while the supreme court could not take up the case until the October term, it was stated. It developed today that the district attorney's office will actively assist Arthur Keetch, assistant attorney general, in arguing against the appeal. The "writ of probable cause," permitting Mrs. Peete to remain at the county jail pending the outcome of her appeal, was issued by Superior Judge Willis. LARGE AUDIENCES AT SALEM REVIVAL Rev. F. H. Doescher, pastor of the Salem Evangelical church, will preach at the services tomorrow. EARLY ERECTION OF OIL DERRICK WEST OF ANAHEIM SEEN Petroleum Midway, Big Doheny Company, Will Start Drilling at Early Date. Early erection of an oil derrick west of Anaheim was assured today with the announcement that the desired 1000-acre community lease in the vicinity of Buena Park-blvd and the County-rd had been obtained. The interest in the project is evidenced by the fact that since the announcement Tuesday that 500 acres had been leased another half thousand acres has been lined up. The leases are made to the Petroleum Midway, big Dohney company, which, it is stated, is ready to begin test development of the section west of Anaheim immediately. The company had no difficulty in getting all the land it wanted, it was stated today. The only difficulty was in getting it together. This has been done, according to reports today. Says Numerous State LARGE AUDIENCES AT SALEM REVIVAL Rev. F. H. Doescher, pastor of the Salem Evangelical church, will preach at the services tomorrow morning. Rev. Weatherwax, the evangelist, was called to Torrence, but will return in time to preach tomorrow evening. Choir rehearsal will be held this evening, and all members are urged to be present. The large audience last evening gave evidence that Evangelist Weatherwax is gripping the people with his messages of positive note. While tenderly regarding the sinner, he gives no quarter to sin. His seathing, searching attacks on the insincere, careless and unconcerned professed Christian are without uncertainty. He regards the home as the citidual of the nation, the pulse of society, and the heart of religion. He believes that insincerity, doubt, and carelessness on the part of church members is disgusting and sending more souls to hell than any other one cause. "My friends, let us build up the broken down family altar, and dedicate our family life to God and save the children, for frequently the home prayers are the only ties that remain to save the boy or girl when away, and subject to the lures of the world. After telling a very interesting story of a young man, leaving his widowed mother, to make his fortune in Alaskan gold mines, and who was saved from discouragement and death by reading a Bible handed him by his mother, the evangelist paid a beautiful tribute to the Bible. He said Abraham Lincoln and George Washington owned well self-marked and worn Bibles. Lincoln said: "The Bible is the greatest, best book God ever let any man read." Friends, the Bible came to us thru fire and blood. It came by the hand of men burned, crucified, beast torn, sawed asunder. Men and women, it is the greatest, greatest book in the world. It sheds more brightness, radiates more beauty and distills more glory into man's experience than all other agencies in the world. The meetings will continue all next week with preaching each evening, except Saturday. The interest and attendance is expected to increase during the next week. Remove Landmarks for Public Improvements Old Anaheim landmarks must had been leased another half thousand acres has been lined up.

Says Numerous State Depts. Could Economize LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19.—That numerous departments in the state government could be reduced in personnel and expenditure without impairing efficiency was the formal statement of Assemblyman Elmer P. Bromley, of Los Angeles, chairman of the Assembly judiciary committee, last night. Bromley said he believed the legislature ought to take up the work of cutting the state administration's $81,387,000 tax budget when the Legislature reconvenes February 24. He said he was yet to show that the King excess tax bill, ostensibly designed to raise the state tax on public utility corporations, would not pass the tax on to be paid by the people. He told how several departmental expenses in the state's list had leaped tremendously since 1913 and advised a general process of elimination of waste and the introduction of an era of economy in state affairs. "The proponents of the so-called King tax bill," said Bromley, "contend that the corporations and public utilities are not paying their just share of taxes as compared with those paid by local property owners. If this is true they should be compelled to pay their just proportion. I am frank to say that the proponents of the King bill have hailed to convince me that such is a fact. "It is a peculiar coincidence, to say the least, that according to the figures of the budget board for the next biennial period there will be a deficit in the state budget of $14,-500,000, and by their own statements the revenue to be raised by the King bill will amount to $15,-000,000."

ALTER FOR JOB PRINTING. Remove Landmarks for Public Improvements Old Anaheim landmarks must make way for public improvements. Several of them are going at the corner of Adele and No. Los Angeles-sts to make way for the big Dunton garage. Besides two buildings which have stood there for decades, there are two Italian cypress trees which were set out a half century ago. There is also a rose tree, 50 feet high, get out 50 years ago. F. C. Rimpau, owner of the property, has been dickering with the Ambassador hotel management for removal intact of the big rose tree. ONE-EYED MAN SOUGHT A tall man with a florid complexion and one eye missing was being sought by Santa Ana police as the thief who entered the home of Mrs. N. E. Wray, 2520 North Broadway, and stole a nickel plated revolver. Officers who investigated said that Mrs. Wray told them that a man of the description indicated came to her house yesterday morning soliciting scholarships. She believes this man is the one who stole the gun. A Ford touring car belonging to A. P. Lyyke, was stolen from in front of Neill's hall, Santa Ana. DRYDEN SPOILS FINE ROD Charles Dryden, well known baseball writer, late of the Chicago Examiner, is playing in hard luck while sojourning at Laguna Beach, it became known here today. The other day, in a tug of war with a leopard shark, he broke an expensive fishing rod which was presented to him a year ago by the Chicago Cubs as a part of a complete outfit. Dryden is now using a bamboo fishing pole. THE survey to determine the amount of milk being consumed in the elementary schools of Santa Ana has just been completed.
