ANAHEIM IS HONORED BY BISHOP Bishop Nuelson Writes of What Has Been Done with Thousands Contributed Here As a sequel to the visit to Anaheim several months ago of Bishop John I. Nuelson, resident Methodist bishop in Europe with residence at Zurich, Switz., Rev. R. M. Tautenhahn, of the German Methodist church, has received an interesting letter telling of the good that is being done for child victims of the war by the thousands of dollars that were contributed here at the time of the bishop's visit. At a cost of $80,000 a children's home is being prepared and has been named "Anaheim," says the bishop in the following letter: Frankfurt, A.-M., May 19, 1921. Rev. R. W. Tautenhahn, 211 W. Broadway, Anaheim, Cal. Dear Brother: Just a few lines to let you and your good people know that we have now secured a very nice property near Kellheim at the edge of the Taunus within easy reach of Frankfurt which we are going to fix up and name "Anaheim" in honor of your church and your good people.

SAYS CONSTITUTION MASONRY PRODUCT That the American Republic is the product of Masonry was the declaration last night at the open meeting of the local Masonic lodge to wives and affiliated organizations, by Rev. Brown of Los Angeles. The members of the Boston tea party, the greater number of the members of the Continental Congress, and the officers of the American Revolution were Masons, and the ideals implanted in the American constitution were the ideals of Masonry, he declared. Prior to the speech-making, the Masons, wives and the members of the affiliated organizations to the number of more than 200 enjoyed a chicken dinner prepared by the ladies under the direction of E. H. Metcalf. Following the meal, George Jackson, grand master, took charge. Musical renditions were given by Dr. Brastad and his son and daughter. The masters of the various lodges in the county and their wives, and also the district inspector, were guests during the evening. J. A. Clayes made a few remarks inviting those present to attend the 25th birthday party of the Chispa Lodge. In taking the floor, Rev. Brown turned all remarks against Mr. Jackson, who, he complained, had eaten too much. He declared Mr. Jackson must do one of three things: Will Make Hit With Norwalk and D S. P.

"COMMUNITY SHOP" DRIVE THIS WEEK An appeal that the people do not forget the drive that is now being made for the Community Shop was made today by Mrs. G. H.

Musical renditions were given by Dr. Brustad and his son and daughter. The masters of the various lodges in the county and their wives, and also the district inspector, were guests during the evening. J. A. Clayes made a few remarks inviting those present to attend the 25th birthday party of the Chispa Lodge. In taking the floor, Rev. Brown turned his remarks against Mr. Jackson, who, he complained, had eaten too much. He declared Mr. Jackson must do one of three things—eat less, walk more, or bust. His吭诫ism was also turned against those who were tardy, relating the story of a negro preacher who put up a bulletin board in front of his church, and took an editor's advice as to what to put on it. He found a brother sick, and put on the bulletin board, "8 a.m.—Brother Brown is sick." Then he grew worse, and the bulletin board registered, "10 a.m.—Brother Brown at death's door." Then he died, and the inscription was placed, "2 p.m.—Brother Brown has died and gone to heaven." Later in the afternoon an ungodly man came by, and inscribed on the board, "5 p.m.—Great excitement in heaven; Brother Brown has not arrived." Then the speaker declared that he himself has been wonderfully blessed by Masonry, since it teaches a man first to mold the best character possible for himself, then help the other fellow. Masonry was conceived in liberty and dedicated to the principle that all men are created equally, "a man's a man for all that." Recalling history, he found that the formal beginning of Masonry in America was June 5, 1730.

Will Make Hit with Buena Park, Norwalk and Downey Fighting S. P. Motor Removal That urgent representations are to be made before the railroad commission against the proposed removal of the S. P. gas motor car between Anaheim and Los Angeles thru Buena Park, Norwalk and Downey will be made announced today by Arthur Benfield, who lives on a ranch at East and Sycamore-sts and commutes daily to Los Angeles where he is employed as a diamond setter. Benfield has protested to the railroad commission and as a result of which the S. P. will continue operation of the gas car at least until it is decided advisable to drop it after a hearing before the railroad commission. The S. P. had advertised that the car would be removed on June 1. It was still being operated today. It was Benfield who circulated a petition among commuters last February and obtained the order from the railroad commission resulting in continuance of the service then, the S. P. at that time having attempted to withdraw the service. "The Anaheim C. of C. can make a hit with the people of Buena Park, Norwalk and Downey by sending one or more representatives to the hearing, whenever it is set by the railroad commission, and protesting as" PROBE KILLING OF U.S. MAN BY BANDITS MEXICO CITY, June 2.—The Mexican authorities today ordered a rigorous investigation of the assassination of Elmer Buchanan, an American, near Tampico, and stern punishment of the bandits responsible. Buchanan was employed on the ranch of A. M. Barkely, 10 miles north of Tampico. It is believed that other Americans were wounded. QUELL TULSA RIOT; NEARLY 150 KILLED TULSA, Okla., June 2.—Grand jury investigation into Wednesday's race riots here was ordered today by Governor J. B. A. Robertson. Prince Freeling, attorney general, will be in charge of the investigation to fix the blame for the rioting and the arson which brought desolation to 8000 blacks and 5000 of the whites. Race hatred, which flared up for 24 hours, costing nearly 100 lives and $1,500,000 property damage, was burned out today. Whites, who fought a furious battle with practically the entire male black population, centered their efforts on finding shelter for the 10,000 negroes whose homes were destroyed when the torch was applied. Although rumors flooded the city throughout the night of negroes congregating in the outskirts to make a massed drive to liberate their prisoners, investigation by state troops proved the reports unfounded. Negroes who fled the city Tuesday night drifted back into town today with pitiful stories of how they stayed hidden in the woods northeast of the city without food or water for ANAHIE 144 C Anaheim's Great Annual Market Now Getting Up Next Week 189 Cars Anaheim's great annual market product, valencia orange full headway.

SPENDS HALF HOUR PICKING UP TACKS Would you stop half an hour and hunt for tacks on the road so that fellow moforists would not be inconvenienced by puncture to their tires? Geo. M. Tedrick, superintendent of the Methodist White Temple S. S. school, believes it is unusual altho to be expected in this case as the man who did it, E. L. Hatcher, of the Taggart Motor Co., is a member of Tedrick's corps of S. S. teachers. Hatcher's car was jarred by a bum in the road and a box of tools. that the car would be removed on June 1. It was still being operated today. It was Benfield who circulated a petition among commuters last February and obtained the order from the railroad commission resulting in continuance of the service then, the S.P. at that time having attempted to withdraw the service. "The Anaheim C. of C. can make a hit with the people of Buena Park, Norwalk and Downey by sending one or more representatives to the hearing, whenever it is set by the railroad commission, and protesting as vigorously as possible against the removal of this service," declares Benfield. "These towns are much more concerned over the removal of the car than is Anaheim, perhaps, because it deprives them of their mail service." In my conversations with attaches of the railroad commission's office in Los Angeles," continued Benfield, "the claim of the railroad company that it was losing money on the service was scouted. Even so, the commission officials stated the S.P. could not drop the service on such plea, provided there is real demand for the service, since the railroad company is making fine revenues out of Anaheim thru the thousands of carloads of freight which originates here, and more hundreds that come in here each year. "It is certain that the S.P. motor is a decided accommodation to a large number of people, many using it regularly each day, while there are always a number of transient travelers who use it. "I believe it would be much more generally used if an effort were made to meet the competition of the stage lines. There is a banker at Norwalk who has used the S.P. motor for 37 years, altho a one-way ticket from Norwalk to Los Angeles costs just the same as a round-trip ticket on the stage." Following is the letter Benfield has received from the railroad commission: Dear Sir: The Commission has for acknowledgement your communication of May 24, in the matter of proposed discontinuance of motor service on the Los Angeles-Santa Ana Branch of the Southern Pacific Company, items in the press indicating that such service is to be discontinued as of June 1, 1921. Please be advised that the service will not be discontinued on June 1, although request for its abandonment account insufficient patronage has been made to the Commission. In view of protests, your own and others, a formal application is to be made by the Southern Pacific Company for the discontinuance of the service, and such application will be followed by a public hearing at which time your protest and that of others will be heard. Notice of the hearing which is accorded the application will be sent you. Yours truly, George Brown Mr. A. Brown Mr. J. A.

McNab of Montebello. Taken to Montebello, Thomason was found to have suffered a fractured skull and a broken back. Drs. J. S. Trewhella and M. J.

Eleven year old Cecil Burkett resting on his mother's lap, with his head against her comforting bosom, was the center of this tragic children's picture. He was on trial on a charge of murdering seven year old Benny Slavin. His seven brothers and sisters, all of tender years, were cared for by the Russian immigrant mother as she sat in court. The mother's chief attention was devoted to taking care of her 11 year old, however. She smoothed his hair, brushed a spot of dust from his plain little suit and caressed him gently. The other children were grouped around the courtroom. Many of them were witnesses, some for Cecil and others for the prosecution. Benny's mother sat near the prosecutor's table aiding in the presentation of the case against the child. She demands that the killing of her boy Russian immigrant mother as she sat in court.
