XXIV—No. 216 ERROR IN PLACE Police Expect to Make U.S. JUDGE DECRIES DIVORCE EVIL AND WORLDWIDE CRIME Constitution Prohibits Light Wine and Beer and Public Might As Well Be Reconciled. A double warning was sounded last night at the banquet of the Fullerton Bible class by Judge Benjamin Bledsoe, of the U.S. District Court of Los Angeles, against the anarchical crime wave that is sweeping the whole face of the earth, and the breaking up of home ties by the divorce evil, which has grown 400 per cent. in the last half century. The very bulwark of the American republican government is being attacked, and the bulwark of the society of the race, is trembling on the verge of disaster by the crumbling sanctity of the home, he declared. He appealed to all God-fearing men, all red-blooded Americans who feel an obligation to God Almighty and to their fellowmen, to call a halt to this decline in morals and arrest this evil of communism which is gnawing at the vitals of our cherished institutions. He said there was a marked resemblance between society today the world over and society in the Roman empire during its Entrance Gained Thru Barred Rear Window Anaheim police and deputy sheriffs were expected to make an arrest today in a burglary of the J. C. Penney Company store. Authorities were fastening suspicion on the man believed to have committed the theft. Several weeks ago entrance was gained to this same store thru a rear window which opens onto the auditorium of the new Roberts theatre in the rear. Since then iron bars have been placed in the window. This time entrance was gained thru the same window, the bars being pried apart, and instead of being hailted by doors to a wash room and fitting room, the burglar also pried his way thru these into the store proper. The burglar obtained considerable clothing, both for himself and for his wife, according to reports at the store today.

Calif. counties, following a meeting at the Garden Grove theatre, where R. B. Easson, poultry specialist of the Univ. of Calif., was the principal speaker. More than 50 poultry men were present. The matter of a Farm bureau poultry department was presented by Assistant Farm Advisor J. R. Waters and much interest was aroused. Esson spoke on the housing and general care of poultry and gave an interesting report on the Santa Cruz egg laying contest, which he said has proved highly successful in that district. A brief review of the progress in various poultry districts throughout the state, Santa Cruz, Petaluma and others, was included in the talk. SAN JUAN WINS IN SCHOOL LAND SUIT The jury which tried the condemnation suit brot by the Capistrano high school district against the Union Bank and Trust Co. of Los Angeles, to acquire title to 10,154 acres of land at San Juan Capistrano for a high school building site, decided that land south is worth exactly what the school district offered the STRIKE CRISIS IS IN BALANCE NOW LONDON, April 12.—The question of a general strike in Britain was in the hands of a small group of miners and colliery owners today as they conferred to settle wage disputes. Premier Lloyd George conferred separately with the two delegations. The mining regions were quiet today, with pumping of flooded levels proceeding. The government continued its preparations for meeting an emergency, the latest announcement being that 300,000 more men will be required for the army. Air and sea forces will be strengthened. Altho hope for industrial peace in Britain flamed during the last 48 hours, the issue hangs in the balance today. Leaders of the miners, transport and railway workers decided last week to call a general strike of 4,000,000 men Tuesday night, unless a settlement was negotiated. Addresses Kiwanians On Community Service Much interest was manifested today by Kiwanians following an address at the weekly luncheon by Mrs. E. V. Warner, of Los Angeles, on community service. The clubmen particularly were interested in her references to the development of playgrounds. Mrs. Warner stated that a very good example of community life development and progress of the play ground movement could be found at Placecita and also at Santa Ana. Mrs. Warner was connected with the army and navy departments on training camp activities during the war and spoke entertainingly of the efforts being made to assist disabled servicemen which she said were coming to Los Angeles more than to any other city in the country, because of the hope the climatic conditions would assist in restoring health. F. T. Anniston was chairman today. Wm. Wallop won the attendance prize. FRANCE DENIES U.S.YAP NOTE ANSWERED PARIS, April 12.—The French foreign office denied today that France has already denied formal reply to Secretary Hughes’ note on the League National mandates, as had been reported from Washington. It was stated that Ambassador Jesuarand had been instructed to “converse” with Secretary Hughes on the question of mandates. All indications are that the matter is one to be settled between the United States and Japan by direct negotiations since the ‘Island of Yap’ is the crux of the mandate issue. PACKERS FILE PLAN “We must learn to conserve and protect our resources. Los Angeles daily is dumping enough fertilizer in the way of sewage in the ocean to supply all So. Calif. In Japan, they don’t throw away an ounce of fertilizer of whatever source. “I have never been able to continue taking money out of a bank without putting something in. In my stay in Anaheim, I have driven about the country considerably and noted the wonderful orange groves. I have seen right beside awonderful grove, with healthy condition apparent in every leaf, another grove with yellow tops, another grove with yellow tops and other evidence that it is not being taken care of. “We must learn to produce. I have never understood why So. Calif. has always been so anxious to get earmenors out here to buy their property. If the land isn’t worth what they sell it for, the easterner is being bunked and they put a man in jail after the day at Los Angeles for just that—it’s a wonder they did, but they did. If the land is worth what it is sold for, why in the world do they sell it. “Ahahelim has the greatest certainties of any city I know of. I told an audience in Hanford the other night that Anaheim was the best city between Portland and Tia Juana.” AUTO BANDITS GET $23,000 FROM BANK DENVER, Colo., April 12.—Auto bandits entered the Stockyards bank at the Union Stock yards here this morning, covered employees with revolvers and took $23,000.

On Radio Stanley Strain, little son of Robert Strain, trustee of Fullerton, has just discovered his hat too small for him. And the strange part about it is that the hat fit him perfectly only yesterday. But when you consider it, it is not so strange after all, for you see he has just been talking to the president of Cuba! Or rather the president of Cuba has been talking to him. An interview? Well hardly, considering the president was sitting in his office in Havana, add Young Strain in his home at Fullerton, 5,500 miles apart, the former with a transmitter to his mouth, the other with a received glued to his car. Strain has an amateur wireless station, and “listened in” on the wireless telephone message sent from Havana via Washington to Avalon, which was heard quite distinctly.

The jury held the ten-acre tract to be worth $3500. It also held that the remainder of the defendant's land, consisting of 24.44 acres, will be damaged to the extent of $700 by reason of the severance of the ten acres. 1 KILLED, 8 INJURED IN BOILER BLAST AKRON, Ohio, April 12.—One person was killed and eight injured in a boiler explosion at the Miller Rubber Co. today.

Warehouse Space — Phone 58— MOTOR THIEVES WHO HIT MAN ARE SOUGHT Orange county authorities and immigration officials at San Juan Capistrano were on the lookout for two men driving a Willys-Knight car, license number 372-290, stolen from San Diego late Saturday night. According to a report received by Under Sheriff E. E. French, two men, one wearing the uniform of a marine and the other civilian clothing, rented a car from a San Diego man about 7:30.

The machine was seen passing through La Jolla and it is believed that it continued in the direction of Santa Ana. ARRESTED IN GLOBE, ARIZ., FOR BIGAMY Orange-co authorities today received word today that Chas. A. Crokite against whom Floyd A.

The complaint charged Crokite wedded Hazel Fye at Santa Ana Sept. 4 when already married to Florence Claggert-Crokite. Today, Santa Ana officers were notified that the second wife is dead and the first now has a divorce. It is possible the case will not be pushed in view of the circumstances. A. W.

He will then be cited to appear before Judge West for further orders bearing on probation. HEARING ATTENDED BY 300 TERMINATED THRU TECHNICALITY Date on Affidavit Three Years Too Old, Atty. Clyde Bishop Points Out. Businessmen and residents in Placentia, 300 strong, marched on county supervisors today for the regularly appointed hearing on the question of incorporation. Each Placentian bore a tag bearing the slogan: "Incorporate Placentia Now." Everything was going fine, the hearing having proceeded most satisfactorily for about 20 minutes, when, blooey, the Placentians had to turn right round and go right home again. The reason: a technical error. Attached to the petition for incorporation signed by 82 Placentians was an affidavit signed by three qualified electors, P. L. Bradford, T. V. Stein and Gifford M. Farrar. This affidavit was to the effect that the signatories were acquainted with most of the petitioners. The hearing was broken off when Attorney Clyde Bishop, representing certain contestants, called attention to the fact that the date on this affidavit was Feb. 23, 1918, when it should have been 1921. None of the signatories, the notary, John E. Scott, of Placentia, nor any one from the district attorney's office had noted the error.

Residents of the Garden Grove grammar school district at the election to determine whether or not a high school district should be formed voted 178 in favor of such a district and 6 against. J.W. Brown, William Leonard and R.D. Richey, trustees of the grammar school district, will also serve as trustees for the high school district, under the provisions of the Eden bill now before the state legislature making it compulsory for all grammar school districts to create high school districts or join some district already established. Information from Sacramento is to the effect that the bill pass. There has been no general discussion as to where the high school will be located in Garden Grove, but it is believed it will be on a tract somewhere in the vicinity of the Pacific Electric depot in order to make it convenient to students who will travel to and from school by way of the railway. Garden Grove is a large school district, the Newhope district having been joined with it about a year ago. NATURALIZATION LAW ON GERMANS LIFTED Restrictions barring aliens from Germany and Austria-Hungary from making petitions for naturalization put in effect by the government when the U.S. entered the war, have been lifted, according to a letter received by County Clerk J. M. Backs from Fred K. Jones, examiner in charge of the Los Angeles office, U.S. Department of Labor. The letter reads: "Hereafter all petitions for naturalization of subjects of Germany and Austria-Hungary should be set for hearing the same as other petitions. All petitions of alien enemies now on file in your office should be placed on the calendar at the next regular hearing." The next naturalization hearing will be held May 16. About 15 petitions will be placed before the court. An affidavit signed by three qualified electors, P. L. Bradford, T. V. Stein and Gifford M. Farrar. This affidavit was to the effect that the signatories were acquainted with most of the petitioners. The hearing was broken off when Attorney Clyde Bishop, representing certain contestants, called attention to the fact that the date on this affidavit was Feb. 23, 1918, when it should have been 1921. None of the signatories, the notary, John E. Scott, of Placentia, nor any one from the district attorney's office had noted the error. It is thought the error was occasioned by the fact that a stenographer, given for copy an affidavit used three years ago in an incorporation attempt, failed to change the date. Of course, after this error was pointed out, there was nothing to do but to terminate the hearing until another petition could be circulated and proceedings started over again. SEEK ARTT—24etao eta etao ili Stickers, which have been going out on the local letters, have already been responsible for several calls at the office of the California Orange Show, and two industrial spaces have been taken through this interesting form of publicity. Those wishing a supply to send out on their letters are requested to get some at once, as the stickers will not last long. It is possible that the $50,000 collection of oil paintings of the Laguna Beach Art Association will be exhibited at the Valencia show. A committee from the Laguna Beach Association and Chamber of Commerce will meet with the executive committee of the show at the Chamber of Commerce here next Monday night at 8. This will be a special collection, comprising some of the best canvasses ever seen hereabout. At next Monday's meeting Chairman Stern expects to have the needs of every committee set forth, and final plans of expense drawn. By that time the progress of space and concession selling will be sufficient to give a proper basis for conclusive action in many departments of the work. MANY WOULD DRILL UPON SCHOOL LAND School trustees of Huntington Beach today began consideration of terms of bids received for an oil lease on the acre and one-half of high school property recently offered for drilling purposes. Bids were received and opened at the meeting of the trustee Saturday. Following the consideration of the bids at that time, it was decided to adjourn until next Saturday at 3 p.m., in order further to consider she bids in the meantime. Announcement of the accepted bid will be made then. Due to the various and complicated conditions set forth in many of the bids careful consideration of each was found to be an absolute necessity to determine which is actually the most beneficial to the school district. The small area to be leased is in BY COUNTY CLERK J. M. BACKS FROM FRED K. JONES, examiner in charge of the Los Angeles office, U. S. Department of Labor. The letter reads: "Hereafter all petitions for naturalization of subjects of Germany and Austria-Hungary should be set for hearing the same as other petitions. All petitions of alien enemies now on file in your office should be placed on the calendar at the next regular hearing." The next naturalization hearing will be held May 16. About 15 petitions will be placed before the court at that time. Of that number four are petitions of German subjects, continued from previous hearings.
