Chas. S. Woolard and Andy Cornett were found guilty in justice at Santa Ana Hills morning on a charge of transporting liquor in violation of the new county ordinance and were sentenced to 60 days each in the county jail.
At the time of arraignment, A. T. Turner, who was with Woolard and Cornett when they were arrested by Police Officer "Tex" Choate and Wm. B. Moody on Dale-ave, near Anaheim, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 90 days in the county jail.
Camer Schontz also pleaded guilty to operating a blind pig and was fined $200 and sentenced to 90 days.
The arrests were made in response to a phone call sent in to Anaheim police at the instance of Turner who charged Woolard and Cornett were attempting to rob him. The latter two were reported by police to be drunk and splattered with blood from fighting Cornett, who has but one arm had a split lip according to Host of Men Busy Out at Giant Canvas
After three days in the air, the giant canvas of the California Valencia Orange Show is beginning to take shape as an exhibition fixture. Contractors, builders, plumbers, electricians, tent-men and exhibitors are all beginning to center their attention on this work.
Tomorrow morning, Mr. Alen, the chief decorator, will commence to execute his plans for decoration of the front of the Orange tent and that to be used for the Baby Welfare Department. In the mean time, canvass walls are being prepared to surround the amusement section and the city is leveling that part of the Elk Park tract which will be used as concession space for the parking of so many thousand automobiles which will bring visitors to the Valencia Snow.
H. E. W. Barnes, chairman of amusement committee, has perfected his program which will include two bands, a crack orchestra, several prima donna, a California baritone and other entertainers. His latest contract is with Miss Vera Eamay, the well-known Orange-co soprano, who has graced many great festivals. Arrangements are being made with Congressman Paul D. Swing to insure the president's presence at the telephone at Washington on the dot when the show is opened May 17th.

EXCURSION OF GRAIN
CAPTOR OF GIBSON READY FOR HEARING
Fred Lewis, of Hackberry, Ariz., formerly agent for the Santa Fe at Topoc, Ariz., is spending a month's vacation with relatives at Downey pending the trial of his case May 25 in Santa Ana superior court against Orange-co supervisors for recovery of the reward offered for directing the capture of Mose Gibson, negro slayer of Roy Trapp.
AMPLIFIER SOUGHT FOR PRES. HARDING
Arrangements are being made by E. A.

MORE PUPILS VISIT EXCHANGE
More high school pupils were taken through the local telephone exchange yesterday by E. A. Baird, manager, and shown thru the operating room, the plant department and the commercial office. The students will write compositions on what they saw.

SILVERADO MINES INSTALLS MODERN AIR DRILL OUTFIT
Compressor System and Four Automatic Drills Will be in Operation Next Week
Arrangements were being made today by the directors of the Blue Light Silver Mines Co., the Anaheim company which has taken over and is operating the rich Silverado silver mines, for the installation of the latest type air-compressor system for operation of an air-drilling outfit. A four-drill outfit will be installed and will be in operation by the last of next week.
It is estimated that each air drill will be equivalent to 12 men operating hand drills.
Ever since the local company took over the mines it has been largely a question of getting the proper equipment and organization together, rather than a matter of ore, as all investigations by numerous mining men have determined there is plenty of paying ore in sight for many months' operation and untold amounts available thru development.

CAPACITY CROWD AT LABOR UNION MTG.
There was a capacity crowd at the Central Labor Union and Building Trades Council of Orange-co at the Labor Temple on No. Los Angeles-st last night. Charles Kinsley, president of the Central Labor Union, presided.
The opening address was made by O. E. Steward, city manager of Anaheim.
The principal address was by O. M. Feeder of the Tobacco Interests Label League of the Calif. Coast who spoke in behalf of the labor unions against the open shop men. He said that the open shopers are the worst enemy America has, that they favor child labor while the unions do not. He made the broad assertion that labor was never wrong and gave the lie to those who say that Bolschvism is behind the seamen's strike. He pointed out that if Jesus had continued to labor as a carpenter from the day of his birth until now at $10 a day with all expenses paid he would have only a little more than seven million dollars, while there is a man in Los Angeles who has $20,000,000, which Feeder declared "the stole." He showed that while some rich folks were running around with money to spend on monkey marriages, the mothers of the boys claim in France are forced to scrub floors for a living. Two million in the U.S. under 12 years of age are laboring in tobacco factories at $1.27 a week.
Songs were rendered by R. T. Corley, Miss Thompson and Mr. Hamil. Selections were also rendered by the orchestra.
The Central labor council will meet here the first and third Mondays of each month, and the Building Trades Council will meet in Santa Ana the same nights.
Refreshments were served.
Announcements were made concerning the picnic at Orange-co Park May 21.

The American Steamship Owners' association in reply to Secretary Hoover's suggestion for mediation by a commission of three private citizens, intimated it preferred to settle the dispute itself.
Both the owners and U. S. shipping board reiterated that acceptance of the 15 per cent wage reduction must preface any negotiations. That is the crux of the strike and the seamen steadfastly refuse to consider it.

HARBOR UNAFFECTED BY OCEAN WALKOUT
LOS ANGELES, May 3.—Los Angeles harbor was the only great harbor in the county that remained unaffected today by the marine union's strike.
With the arrival and sailing of a dozen big steamers scheduled, no trouble had developed up to a late hour this morning to give any indications that other parts of the country are gripped in a great labor war.
The express steamer, Yale, was scheduled to sail late today on her first trip since being overhauled and repaired following her strenuous service as a transport during the war. The steamer had a full passenger list.
The Admiral line steamer Admiral Schley sailed at 10 a.m. With the Farragut, the Queen and the Admiral Evans all due to make this port this week, the company reported there was no indication of trouble.
The steamer Avalon, operated between Wilmington and Santa Catalina Island, sailed this morning without interruption.

1 LOST, 8 MISSING WHEN BOAT BURNS
ASTORIA, Ore., May 3 — The Japanese steamer Tokuyo Maru, Portland for the orient, burned at sea 60 miles out from the Columbia river early last night.
One life was lost. Eight persons are missing. Twenty-seven were taken into Seattle this morning in the hospital ward of the U.S. army transport Buford. Sixty-five in all were rescued by the Buford, which arrived at the scene of the fire within 30 minutes after she picked up the S.O.S call.
Five Japanese babies, with their mothers and other Japanese women, were among the 65 persona rescued. Four babies and one woman had to be placed in the hospital ward of the Buford with 22 men burned and injured in the disaster.
Rapidly as the boats were gotten over when Captain K. Suzuki gave the order to abandon ship, the flames spread faster. Many of the crew jumped overboard. Some of these were picked up later by the Buford's boats.
The Tokuyo Maru left Portland Sunday night with a cargo of lumber for Hong Kong. She crossed out here at 7:30 p.m. yesterday.
According to wireless dispatches picked up at North Head, the Tokuyo Maru caught fire shortly after 4 p.m. Within an hour the fire was beyond control. The decks were so hot that they buckled.
The Tokuyo Maru sent out a wireless call for help, which was picked up at Marshfield, Ore., and North Head. Neither of these stations was able to keep in touch with her for any length of time, however, as her apparatus failed within 20 minutes.
SANTA FE SPRINGS
P. O. ROBBED AGAIN
LOS ANGELES, May 3 — Amateur yeggmen are believed to have been responsible for two safe cracking jobs last night.
The post office at Santa Fe Springs was entered, the safe broken open by means of a pick and a pitch bar. The amount of stamps and money obtained by the burglars was not large, according to the report Postmaster Gleaver made to the sheriff's office.
The same cracksmen are believed to have shattered the Sam Seelig store at Crescent Junction. Here they opened a safe with a charge of nitroglycerine. The amount obtained is not known. This is the second Seelig store robbed within two days.
The robbery of the Santa Fe Springs post office is the fifth time interruption.
Timber had been ordered for a derrick to be erected near Centralia school but the order was cancelled. Continued Zeeman, when it was discovered that by selecting such drilling site several leases would be nullified since all contained the provision that the test well must be within 1-1.2 miles of all of the 1000 acres. The Centralia site would have been a little to one side. The 1000 acres is divided into community leases of about 80 acres each. Forty landowners signed leases and the representatives of the oil company have been at work for several months in obtaining the signatures.
When the first well is completed the lease calls for a monthly rental of $5 per month per acre to start, increasing later. The royalty is graduated one-sixth, one-seventh and one-eighth depending upon the size of the well. The leases are in escrow with the Orange-co Title Co., Santa Ana, until the first well is started.
Of course the proposition is a venture, says Zeeman, but he sincerely hopes that oil is found in chick case, of course, the Petroleum Midway is prepared to expand its drilling program on a broad scale.
S. O. TO DRILL AT
G. G. IN 30 DAYS
Signalizing the start of intensive operations that will prove whether oil underlies the Garden Grove section, formal announcement was made today that the Standard Oil company had purchased of the Garden Grove Petroleum company its entire holdings and would begin drilling within 30 days, using the derrick that the latter company had erected about 40 rods west of the Pacific Electric depot at Garden Grove.
Negotiations for the transfer of the Garden Grove Petroleum company's derrick and all its leases to the Standard Oil Co. has been in progress for some days. Now that the transaction has been definitely completed it is assured that the Standard company will thoroughly test the Garden Grove district, where it now controls between 1200 and 1500 acres of land under lease.
Simultaneously with the announcement of the completion of the negotiations, it was stated that the Standard had ordered drilling machinery to be installed at the derrick that has been turned over to it, and that the drill would start on its way downward in search for the "black gold" within 30 days.
It was stated that the Garden Grove Petroleum company received a cash bonus of $10 an acre for its 700 acres and that it would receive $1 an acre a month rental until oil is struck, when the original lessors will get one-sixth royalty.
The completion of the transaction between the Garden Grove Petroleum company and the County-rd, according to Zeeman.

BOTTLE OF MILK
CAUSES CAR WRECK
It was only a bottle of milk, but it was the cause of the automobile of C.W. Pulley, of Orange, being in a garage today for extensive repairs. Likewise, the bottle of milk necessitated an ornamental lighting globe on South Glassell street, Orange, having to be replaced.
Pulley needed a bottle of milk. Accordingly, he hopped into his car, drove to Orange, acquired the lactical fluid and started to return home, proceeding south on Glassell.
Shortly the fractions bottle slipped from its perch on the front seat beside Pulley.
Pulley sought to rescue the bottle and in doing so his car dived toward the right side of the street.
So Pulley clutched the steering wheel tranfically, sending the car toward the left side of the street.
Not desiring to continue in that direction,Pulley again gave the wheel a twist, once more sending the car toward the right. This time, the car kept to its course to the right, hurdled the curb and ran into an ornamental light post, shattering the globe at the top.
The bottle of milk was a total loss.
2 CARS DAMAGED IN CRASH
The Studebaker car driven by W.H. Smith of Yorba Linda and a Ford car collided in Fullerton yesterday afternoon. No one was injured. Both cars were damaged.
The completion of the transaction between the Garden Grove Petroleum Company and the Standard Oil company marks the realization by the organizers of the former firm of a definite goal that had been set some months ago—to pave the way for a recognized oil company's entrance into the Garden Grove section in order that it might be definitely established whether oil was to be had there.
The derrick taken over is situated on the property of Edward Chaffee, president of the Garden Grove Petroleum company (that has now gone out of existence). Most of the 700 acres turned over to the Standard oil lie to the west and northwest of Garden Grove, does the additional acreage that has been leased by the Standard.
The secretary of the former Garden Grove company was William Adlin. Other directors were J.M. Woodworth, F.M. Readanyden, Claud Crosby, Vernon King and F.L. Woodhouse.
Residents of Garden Grove are stated over the success of the negotiations between the two companies. Many in the district have for a long time believed that oil underlies section, and the arrival of the Strand is looked upon as heralding beginning of a thoroughtest of theory.
