TO CATCH THIEVES ROUTED BY OFFICER Men Are Discovered by Marshal Looting Store at San Fernando. LOS ANGELES, March 11. — Fighting a running gun battle with two bandits whom he discovered looting a store early today, City Marshal Patton of San Fernando seriously wounded one of the men before they escaped toward Los Angeles in an auto. Patton and the bandits emptied their automatic pistols at each other in the fight, blazing away at close range when the officer frustrated the robbery of the store. Deputy sheriff and police officers spread a net for the capture of the bandits in Los Angeles shortly after Patton flashed word of his encounter to the city by telephone, as the men were fleeing in their machine. Patton discovered the bandits in Several Badly Shaken. When Motors Collide Several persons were slightly injured this morning about 8:30 when a Ford car bumped into the Studebaker driven by Prof. L.

Miss Nichols was cut about the back of the head and Mr. Nichols was badly shaken up as was also Warren Jewell, who fainted from the shock. The Ford turned over on the side and its occupants, four in number, were based out. No one was seriously injured. ANAHEIM WILL AID L. A. GET COLLEGE The regular weekly meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim C. of C. was held at the C. of C. headquarters on No. Los Angeles at COUNCIL DECIDES TO PROCEED WITH CHARTRES PAVING Necessary Sewer and Water Mains Will Be Ordered and Laid Soon As Possible. City council last night decided to proceed with the preliminaries to the paving of Chartres-at. The necessary sewer and water mains that must be first laid will be ordered and installed as soon as possible, the paving to follow after it is in. This decision followed a report by City Manager O. E. Steward that he had found little opposition among property holders on Chartres from Olive to Palm-sts. Many were neutral and many said they were "ready." Four-inch water mains will be laid throughout the street and hooked onto present mains on the north and south intersections. The city manager reported that the cost of four-inch mains and labor for laying same and for paving of infiltrations would cost the city. Grant On Council City Managers granted last night chitecters made a city park sively upported scaping nights decide use an idea termiped clichect for a co from $75 a convict of park over So can hope to ning thhe Lodge For Secret statement the public riously wounded one of the men before they escaped toward Los Angeles in an auto. Patton and the bandits emptied their automatic pistols at each other in the fight, blazing away at close range when the officer frustrated the robbery of the store. Deputy sheriff and police officers spread a net for the capture of the bandits in Los Angeles shortly after Patton flashed word of his encounter to the city by telephone, as the men were fleeing in their machine. Patton discovered the bandits in the store of Olney and Kidder, general merchandise. He entered thru the front door and ordered the men to hold up their hands. Instantly the bandits opened fire. Bullets struck all around Patton and he returned the shots. The bandits fled from the store, firing as they ran. Patton followed and one of his shots sent one of the men to the ground. The wounded bandit was helped into the machine by his partner. Five dollars was taken from the cash register in the store and more than $1000 worth of merchandise was piled up, ready to be taken away. This Listens Good! New Anaheim City Hall Something with a very pleasing sound was mentioned at city council meeting last night. That was a new city hall. It came in in the course of a watch night meeting. The city data apparently don't get away from home very often evenings and try to make up for lost time when they stay until 12 o'clock last night. Councilman Chas. Mann reported that Judge Howard had requested better court room quarters, ventilation being difficult in the present cramped room at the police station which is uninviting to women. Judge Howard suggested that the second floor of the old city hall might be used. Councilmen agreed they disliked to spend a cent on the old building, preferring to erect a new city hall. It seemed to be the common opinion that this would be the next step following the disposition of the outfall sewer. COUNTY WINS AGAIN IN BIRCH TAX CASE Holding that Superior Judge R. Y Williams is not legally or otherwise disqualified, the District Court of Appeals has denied the application of attorneys for the Birch Old Co., for a change of the place of trial of an action brought against the county from the local court to the superior court of Los Angeles county. The main action out of which the proceeding springs was brought by A. Otis Birch and his co-partners against the county of Orange to recover $9,222.85, representing taxes paid under protest for the fiscal year 1917. ANAHEIM WILL AID L. A. GET COLLEGE The regular weekly meeting of the board of directors of the Anaheim C. C was held at the C. C. headquarters on No. Los Angeles at noon today. Secretary Fraser reported on the meeting of the secretaries So. Cal. at Van Nuyt Saturday and stated that Anaheim had thrown her support to the San Francisco valley people to obtain an agricultural college in that valley. Four will be erected in the state but Orange-co has not a chance Ao obtain one so its strength will go to Los Angeles-co. Director E. B. Camp spoke on ways to keep our highways in condition and asked if the grades could not be crowned with gravel instead of dirt thus preventing the grass from growing right up to the pavement. On the suggestion of Director And, Reeves, the board approved the plan of Los Angeles to put in a dehydrating plant, making its sewer disposal into fertilizer and thus doing away with the outfall sewer on the beaches. Horace Jienjamin stated that the thrift day pictures taken in Anaheim are being shown in Los Angeles theories and will probably be sent all over the U.S., advertising Anaheim everywhere. Urges City Pass Act Limiting Truckloads Supervisor Schumacher, in Anaheim Thursday, expressed the wish that the city council adopt an ordinance limited weight of truckloads patterned after the county ordinance. "From the north county like beyond La Habra, to Capistrano, the state highway can't be touched by the county ordinance," says Schumacher. "Louda much heavier than permitted by the new county act can pass over this highway, tearing it to pieces with small chance of speedy repairs. The only way to prevent such a thing is for the various cities of pass ordinances patrolled after the county act limiting loads on the state highway inside their limits." This I believe is the solution. SHOULD PROBE SURFACE MYSTERIES Advocating the extensive use of soil augurs as the most important implant on the farm, H. E. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, today stated that arrangements, had been made by which a large number of these tools would be available there. Mr. Nichols was badly shaken up as was also Warren Jewell, who fainted from the shock. The Ford turned over on the side and its occupants, four in number, were tossed out. One was seriously injured. This decision followed a report by City Manager O. E. Steward that he had found little opposition among property holders on Chartres from Olive to Palmiers. Many were neutral and many said they were "ready." Four-inch water mains will be laid throughout the street and hooked onto present mains on the north and south intersections. The city manager reported that the cost of four-inch mains and labor for laying same and for paving of intersections would cost the city between $6000 and $7000. The council also agreed to pave the alley in, the rear of the Colonial apts. Legion Planning Big Meeting Tuesday Night The American Legion is planning a big meeting for next Tuesday night. The county central committee will meet with members of the local post, about 18 delegates from the other five posts being expected.

Williams is not legally or otherwise disqualified, the District Court of Appeals has denied the application of attorneys for the Birch Oil Co. for a change of the place of trial of an action brought against the county from the local court to the superior court of Los Angeles county. The main action out of which the proceeding springs was brought by A. Otis Birch and his co-partners against the county of Orange to recover $9,222.85, representing taxes paid under protest for the fiscal year 1917. The action was begun June 2, 1918. On December 24, 1918, the county answered. The case had been set for trial for May 5, 1919. Five days prior to the trial day, the plaintiffs asked for a change of venue, claiming that Judge Williams was disqualified and that Judge West had deemed himself disqualified. SAYS SEA SHIPPING WILL CUT R. R. RATE Declaring that increased freight rates had cost members of the Tustin Lemon association $20,000, or one-fourth of their returns, and that the total collected by the railroad for shipments by the association in 1920 was greater than the total returns to the grower members, Roy Runelle, secretary and manager of the association, in his annual report submitted at a meeting of members expressed the belief that the water shipments being developed would result in the railroads granting a freight rate on lemons that shipmen can pay and have something left for themselves. 175 LIBRARIANS AT SANTA ANA SATURDAY About 175 librarians of the sixteenth district of the state association are expected in Santa Ana tomorrow for the convention which will meet at 10 a.m. in the First Christian church.

SHOULD PROBE SUS-SURFACE MYSTERIES Advocating the extensive use of soil augurs as the most important implement on the farm. H. E. Wahlberg, county farm advisor, today stated that arrangements had been made by which a large number of these tools would be available through the Farm bureau at reduced prices. “There is too much surface farming in Orange-co at present,” said Wahlberg. “Surface indications do not always show the water content of the soil two or three feet below the top.” “The only way to delive into the mystery of this sub-surface condition is by a soil augur. This should be at least six feet long and to be efficient should be two inches or more in diameter.” FULLERTON LEGION TO HELP CUT CRIME Sheriff C. E. Jackson today expressed himself as being very much gratified over an offer by co-operation extended to him by the Fullerton post of the American Legion in the suppression of crime.

Steward were granted more time by city council last night to report on landscape architects and the matter of ordering made a comprehensive plan for the city park.

Gates and Steward plan to attend a convention at Pasadena March 17 of park superintendents from all over So Cal. when the problem of auto camps will be discussed. They hope to get some light on city planning then. Lodge Not Sponsors For Shows Next Week Secretary M. C.

PROSECUTOR TELLS HISTORY OF AFFAIR WITH OIL MAGNATE Told to Flee Country After Murder of Multi-millionaire and G. O. P. Committeeman. COURTROOM, ARDMORE, Okla., March 31.—Clara Smith Hamon sat dry-eyed and rigid today while Prosecutor Freeling told the jury how she was pallied a $5000 "silence bribe" and told to flee the country after shooting Jake Hamon, multi-millionaire oil magnate and republican national committeeman. In abrupt statements, the prosecutor sketched the career of the pretty young woman, who stole Hamon from his wife and family, and is now on trial for her life. Prince Freeling, prosecutor, told the jury how the state expects to prove her guilty of murdering Jake Hamon. Freeling said Clara followed Hamon to Ardmore in 1913 and became his stenographer. "They began living together as husband and wife," he charged. "Hamon's wife and children remained back in Lawton." At one time Mrs. Hamon visited their rooms.

"While we are proud of the band and the advertising it is giving the city, we are anxious that it be understood the shows were contracted for by the band without the knowledge of the lodge. The by-laws of the Elks lodge do not permit use of the name of the organization with the staging of any carnival or street fair and we do not wish to assume responsibility for anything that might be connected with such."

The major-general's letter called attention to the fact that the young woman, who stole Hamon from his wife and family, and is now on trial for her life, Prince Freeling, prosecutor, told the jury how the state expects to prove her guilty of murdering Jake Hamon. Freeling said Clara followed Hamon to Ardmore in 1913 and became his stenographer. "They began living together as husband and wife," he charged. "Hamon's wife and children remained back in Lawton. At one time Mrs. Hamon visited their rooms. Hamon sent his wife away. But fortune smiled on Hamon. He became wealthy. Many trips were taken by Hamon and the defendant. He paid all the expenses. He sent her to school. He educated her. "The defendant was jealous of Mr. Hamon. They had lovers' quarrels, the usual result of illicit love. In 1917 Hamon called an officer to his apartment because he wanted some papers. The officer found the defendant there with a revolver, but the officer secured the papers for Hamon. Then Hamon became a political power; he grew powerful. The estrangement between the defendant and Hamon started; he realized he must stop his way of living. He determined to quit the old life; take his family back; join the church. Immediately after the November elections when Hamon was swept in power, the defendant purchased a pistol at a hardware store in Oklahoma City. On Nov. 21, Hamon met some friends in his office. The phone rang in his office. He tried to break off the communication. He took several drinks. About six o'clock he said he would be back soon. He never came back to his office. He went across the street and entered the Randol hotel and went to his rooms." At 7 o'clock he went to the hotel lobby to talk over the long distance." Freeling continued. He went to room 28, occupied by the defendant and walked through the connecting door to his own room. He left the rooms later. Senator Carlock saw Hamon walking toward the Hardy Sanitarium. The proof will show Hamon told Dr. Hardy, in charge of the hospital, I am shot. Clara did it. I'm going to die." We will prove that Hamon pleaded with Dr. Hardy, "For God's sake, never tell this—say it was an accident." Postpone Hearing of Rich Anaheim Rancher When Gottlieb Meger, 70, wealthy Anaheim rancher, recently held by Justice Cox to the superior court For Seeking Big Gun City council last night extended a vote of thanks to Capt. Alex Henry for his unifying efforts to obtain a captured German cannon for Anaheim's city park. The captain presented to council a number of terms that had passed between him and Congressman Kettner and between the latter and Maj.-Gen. C. C. Williams, chief of ordnance. The major general's letter called attention to the fact that the recent congress failed to pass the bill providing for distribution of such letters to the states which in turn were to distribute them either through the governor or delegations to congress on basis of the number of men each community sent to war. Captain Henry was urged to keep up the good work and not to let the republicans spike this cannon.
