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. 174 RUMOR S. O. I Local Scouts Decipher TRYING TO OBTAIN OIL TERRITORY THIS SIDE OF FULLERTON Representatives of Two Old-Line Companies Seeking Leases Along "Ridge." The Standard Oil Co. is endeavoring to lease as much land for oil development between Anaheim and Fullerton as it can get hold of. It was reported today. Another large oil company also has representatives in the field it was known today. One rancher just north of the intersection of Palm-ave and the state highway reported to The Plain Dealer today that he had been approached by two different representatives of old companies within the last week. They would not state what companies they represented but said they were well established and would not find it necessary to sell stock. The second man, believed to represent the Standard, professed surprise that he had been preceded Beat All Other Coast Wireless Enthusiasts An Orange-co amateur radio station connected with the Boy Scouts was the first on the Pacific Coast to cipher the 20-word message of Warren G. Harding, president-elect, which was distributed throutout the United States on the event of Washington's birthday, thru the amateur radio stations of the nation. The even words, with the exception of the thirtieth, were sent out from Hartford, Conn., at 8:10 o'clock, eastern time, and the uneven words, with the exception of the 29th, from Vancouver, B. C., and Sunnyvale. Cal., at 8:10 o'clock, Pacific time. The other two words were sent out from Rock Island, Ill., at 10 o'clock Central time. The message was picked up locally by Dr. J. E. Waters and members of the boy scouts at 9:24 o'clock, Pacific time, from Douglass, Ariz., while Reno, which was the distributing station for the Pacific Coast, was yet unable to decipher it. The feast speaks much for the strength of the local amateur stations, but cannot be said to be a Another large oil company also has representatives in the field it was known today. One rancher just north of the intersection of Palm ave and the state highway reported to The Plain Dealer today that he had been approached by two different representatives of old companies within the last week. They would not state what companies they represented but said they were well established and would not find it necessary to sell stock. The second man, believed to represent the Standard, professed surprise that he had been preceded by any one seeking leases in that territory. He said he was seeking 1000 acres but would probably find such a large lease impossible and would be satisfied with 200 acres. Another rancher on the state highway between Anaheim and Fullerton who has also been approached for a lease on his ranch stated Standard geological maps indicate an oil strata follows the "ridge" just north of Anaheim and he believes the Standard is now trying to tie up the territory since several test wells are shortly to be started west and south of Anaheim, notably at Garden Grove Hansen station, Ball-rd and at Buena Park-blvd and the County-rd. Bankers and Employees Will Banquet In April The annual gathering of Orange-co bankers and employees will be held at St. Anne's Inn, Santa Ana, in April, it was decided last night at a meeting of the Orange-co Bankers Assn. at Santa Ana.

A proposition to increase the interest rate in the southern end of the county from seven to eight per cent was defeated by the bankers of that section. 400 POLICE PROTECT CHICAGO WARD VOTE CHICAGO, Feb. 22.—An army of 400 policemen and scores of heavily armed detectives today patrolled the Nineteenth ward to prevent impending riots over the aldermanic election in which John Powers, father of John F. Powers, owner of the Los Angeles baseball club, was opposed by Anthony d'Andrea. A veritable reign of terror threatened to sweep the ward as the voters went to the polls to decide between Alderman Powers, who has held office for 32 years, and d'Andrea, who attempted to unseat his opponent, one of Chicago's picturesque characters. The pre-election campaign in the Nineteenth ward, dispatches said, was one of the bitterest in the history of Chicago and was marked by bombings and sluggings. Several men were severely wounded recently when a hall in which another large oil company also has representatives in the field it was known today.

The President-elect's message was distributed by the Amateur Radio Relay League, and was as follows: "From Marion, O., to G. S. T.: May the spirit of Washington be our guide in all our national aspirations and may the current year mark the return of tranquility, stability, confidence and progress outlout the entire world—Senator W. G. Harding." A campaign will be put on soon for 750 associate members of the boy scouts and the feat last night should interest many other boys in the work. Those interested should get in touch with D. J. E. Waters or C. C. Smith, principal of the Anaheim grammar schools.

The attendance last night was not so large, because of the rain probably, but that made no difference to the speaker, who gave an earnest, convincing sermon, based on Jonah 1-1: "Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah, saying." He said in part: "Many people want general preaching in these days, but they need definite, positive heart-piercing sermons. God always speaks important words. Unpaid vows to God are hardening the hearts and devitalizing the life and hurrying thousands of citizens, cursed with the spirit of indifference down the tobogan slide to hell. "Oh, friends, when God speaks and pulls the heart strings, listen, yield. If you want to go to hell tonight, you have plenty of company. They are on the way. The pastor must spend too much rocking the cradle of big church babies. Say, folks, you better assist the pastor in going out and helping the un-saved of this town to Christ, or the time will come when they will curse the very name of your church. It costs infinitely more to go away from God, than it does to come honestly to Him. You may throw bad habits, passion, bad temper, tobacco, profanity, etc., overboard, but you will never find Christ, or have peace until you throw yourself overboard. He that humbleth himself shall be exalted." The meetings will continue throut the week each evening except Saturday. PRISONER ESCAPES FROM CHAIN GANG Authorities throughout the southern end of the state today were on the lookout for James Anderson, 22, who escaped from the Orange-co chain gang working at the county park.
