XXIV—No. 208 OVER MILLION Report New Plan to W INDUSTRIous BIDDIES CHALLENGE RECORDS AS MARCH LAYERS Chicken Fanciers Come to Front Quickly With Reports for Their Prize Hens. Owners of industrious biddies read the columns of The Plain Dealer closely when it comes to accounts of the good work achieved by their neighbors. Mrs. R. Groom, 614 Zeyn-st, read the account of Mrs. Williams' hens laying 262 eggs in the 31 days of march and straightway got out her calender.

According to the reported plan, the street will be widened ten feet by taking that space off the southside, half of the cost of which is to be paid by property owners on the northside of the street. It was stated today that George L. West, who owns large frontage on the southside of the street at the corner of Los Angeles, has come to an agreement as to price with Samuel Kraemer, who owns a like amount of frontage on the north side of Chestnut-st. The offices of the city council will again be sought for approval of and for carryin gout fruther the plan to widen the street, it was stated today.

Groom, 614 Zeyn-st, read the account of Mrs. Williams' hens laying 262 eggs in the 31 days of March and straightway got out her calender. Mrs. Groom also has Rhode Island Red hens and her dozen have a record of 288 eggs during the month just passed. The eggs are fine big ones too asthe specimens brought to this office demonstrated. The other two hens which figured in the February accounts are strutting about with families, the families expecting to figure in the columns of The Plain Dealer at a later date. Here is what F. W. Baker, 317 No. Los Angeles-st, has to say: The "Egg Contest" proposition is me fine. It's instructive and may prove profitable in the end, as some people are feeding unprofitable hens and really are not taking any account of what they ought to produce. Some think that a hen is a hen, no matter what the breed, just like the cow owner. Years ago I used to feed a lot of unprofitable cows. Now they are tested and tried and culled out. The hen business is on the same plan, if you test and cull and get a strict account of your hens, you can soon own a fine profitable flock. I have tried nearly all breeds and find that the greatest layers are the pure Rhode Island Reds. In one of my poultry papers I read that a R. I. Red hen has a record of 329 eggs in one year. This man had been culling for 12 years. I find that my six prize R. I. Red hens in March layed 160 eggs, or an average of 26-2-3 each. I have three good high grade R. I. Red hens that layed 73 eggs in 31 days of March, an average of 24-1-3 each for ripe month. Who can beat it? My ad in your much read paper brought quick results. Am just catching up with orders again. Here's from Mrs. Clemmer, 119 W. South-st: Who can beat these hens? I have 12 hens, 10 of them are Andalusian, 12 are Plymouth Rocks. In the days of March, the 10 Andalusian laid 235 eggs and the 2 Plymouth Rock hens laid 48 eggs, making a total of 283 eggs from my 12 hens. Had all the eggs we wanted and also a steady customer for the extra eggs I had to sell, getting $6 a dozen above market price, because the Andalusians lay an extra large white egg. I think that's good. Let's hear from other chicken fanciers.

LOOKS LIKE SANTA ANA WAS JEALOUS OF ANAHEIM SPEED Local Permits for First Quarter Still Leads. Report of CountvSeat Building Inspector. Is Santa Ana becoming Jealous of the building permit record being rolled up by Anaheim in which for months has held the right to be called the fastest growing city in Orange-co. It would seem so. Each Thursday in Santa Ana is issued a statement of building permits there. For the purpose of friendly rivalry between the two cities, each Friday since Jan. 1, The Plain Dealer has been announcing the building permit total in Anaheim, accepting the Thursday statement from Santa Ana at its face value. But the monotonous regularity with which the Anaheim total expeced the total of new construction at county seat must have encroached on somebody's nerves over there. KRAEMER ACCEPTS ARCHITECT'S PLANS Sam Kraemer has accepted architect's detailed plans for a high-class one-story auto salesroom to be erected on So. Los Angeles-st. frontage He was arraigned before Justice Cox and will be given preliminary hearing at 2 p.m. April 18. In default of $2000 bail, he was remanded to the county jail.

Heman Wharton, dean of the school of business administration of Syracuse university, was shot and killed today by Holmes Beckwith, an instructor and head of the eligibility committee of the same school, who then ended his own life with a bullet. The shooting occurred at 9:45 o'clock this morning in one of the rooms of the school of business administration. The theory advanced by Chancellor Day, of the university, and by Frank Malpass, Onondaga-co district attorney, is that Beckwith was discovered by Wharton in the act of committing suicide and that Wharton interfered and was himself shot in the struggle that followed. HOTEL VALENCIA GUESTS Guests at Hotel Valencia yesterday included: Frank Buttewatt, Los Angeles; Elizabeth K. Stean, Seattle; Louis Alinger, S. Pappert, Lawrence Wellington B.

The plans are now in the hands of four contractors for estimates. The walls of the building will be built of sufficient strength to support a two or three-story building which may be erected later. It is understood the auto salesroom will be very elaborate and will be occupied by an agency for a very high-priced car. Kraemer will also construct an addition to Wm. Goodrum's Buick agency across the street, utilizing frontage recently purchased. VALENCIA WATER CO. IRRIGATES 80 ACRES Seven citrus growers, whose ranches border along Romney drive, a road running west from Spadra, just this side of the sharp curve going into Anaheim, are now independent of water companies and the weather man. These ranchers own 80 acres of full bearing citrus trees and some time ago they organized the Valencia Water company with the view of developing their own water. They put down a well to a depth of 400 feet and were successful in securing enough water to irrigate the entire 80 acres. Among the growers who own part of the tract and who was active in the work of securing an independent water system is Lester Vanderberg, of 138 E. Chapman-ave, his holdings being ten acres.

RECRUITING FOR NAVY AGAIN It would seem so. Each Thursday in Santa Ana is issued a statement of building permits there. For the purpose of friendly rivalry between the two cities, each Friday since Jan. 1, The Plain Dealer has been announcing the building permit total in Anaheim, accepting the Thursday statement from Santa Ana at its face value. But the monotonous regularity with which the Anaheim total exceeded the total of new construction at courtyard must have encroached on somebody's nerves over there.The last two Thursdays, for the first time this year, the statement from Santa Ana has slightly exceeded Anaheim's total as obtained by The Plain Dealer from City Clerk Merritt's office following day. For instance, the Thursday total from Santa Ana this week was given as $375,272. But today, the Santa Ana building inspector announced the county-seat total for the first three months of 1921 was $302.277. Not attempting to explain the discrepancy,Anaheim boosters may thus over the fact that building permits here continue ahead of Santa Ana. The local total for the first quarter of 1921 is $327.800. For the four months of December, January, February and March Anaheim's total is $35.930, compared with a total of $380.908 for the same period at Santa Ana. All aboard! Straight ahead for Greater Anaheim! CAUGHT IN SHAFT, ARM BADLY INJURED G. & L.

LONDON., April 2—Great Britain today faced the gravest internal situation since the Stuarts were compelled to leave the throne. A million and a half miners were on strike, coal production was at an absolute standstill and fuel on hand was at so low an ebb as to make the domestic situation desperate. This morning the government and the industrial situation were in such desperate straits that a nation-wide call was issued for volunteers to man the pumps and save the mines from total destruction. The railroad workers and the transport laborers were reported on the verge of joining with the miners in their walkout and if this condition came about it would mean complete industrial stagnation and would bring Great Britain to the verge of financial collapse in record time. Already untold millions of dollars of property loss has been sustained. Desertion of men from the coal mines has permitted six big plants SO. CALIF. EDISON RATES CUT AGAIN What amounts to an average cut of 6 per cent in the rates of electric energy charged by the So. Calif. Edison Co. has been ordered by the railroad commission. This makes the second cut in So. Calif. Edison rates, the commission, last January, having reduced the surcharge from 27 to 20 per cent. The rates fixed in today's order will constitute the company's definite or base schedules. They are on an average about 28 per cent higher than the rates of pre-war days, and are estimated to produce a gross revenue of $15,338,225, a sum of $1,377,775 (about 9 per cent) less than the amount asked for by the company but sufficient, in the opinion of the commission, to enable the company to meet its financial needs and also carry out its development program. The commission estimates that the rates will yield a return of 8.3 per cent on the company's investment, which for rate fixing purposes, the commission finds to be $94,072,656. This is several million dollars below the value claimed by the company, whose valuation engineer said it would cost $148,519,624 to reproduce the plant anew. Depreciated, the reproduction cost according to this engineer, would be $123,731,681. SANTA ANA LEADS AFTER SIX EVENTS Santa Ana was leading with 25 points after the first six events of the Orange-co. track meet at Santa Ana this afternoon.

The railroad workers and the transport laborers were reported on the verge of joining with the miners in their walkout and if this condition came about it would mean complete industrial stagnation and would bring Great Britain to the verge of financial collapse in record time. Already untold millions of dollars of property loss has been sustained. Desertion of men from the coal mines has permitted six big plants to be flooded beyond any hope of ever resuming their operation. These six mines produced more than $1,000,000,000 worth of coal year. Thirty other great mines have applied to the government for help to man the pumps and keep down the water. Will Help to Get Jobs For Ex-Service Men Miss Margaret Humeston has contrived an idea which may serve to strengthen the plan of the C. of C. in getting jobs for ex-service men. Her idea is to start in Anaheim a real employment service, to take care of the soldiers and sailors out of employment, as well as those of all classes dealing work in any branch. She promises to get action in every possible case, and will work with Jack Hebson, of the American Legion, and the secretary of the C. of C. This young lady, who has offices with Herman Noll, room 2, Central building, will not make any charge for getting employment for the ex-service man. All persons requiring help of any kind should telephone Miss Humeston, 594, and thus confer a favor on many good people who might really make good future citizens. S. A. LEGION ACQUIRES ARMORY The armory building on Birch-st. Santa Ana, passed to Santa Ana Post No. 131. American Legion last night. The directors of the Armory Hall Co., organized years ago, met with the executive committee of the legion post. Directors of the company resigned and legion committees were elected to take their places. The building and lot are valued at between $20,000 and $25,000. Plans are being made by post leaders for a number of improvements in the interior of the building. It is planned to make the adjustments so that the building may be occupied as an armory by the national guard company without in any way interfering with its use for legion purposes. Santa Ana post has 475 members with the current year's dues paid.
