For the city's grammar schools will close June 17, and the high school the following week. It will mean promotion or graduation for several hundred young people in Anaheim's educational institutions, according to a canvac made today. At commencement time from the junior high school and high school alone are expected to go forth about 100 students. To take the places left vacant by those who will leave the high school, there will be an influx next fall from the junior high school of a number of pupils not yet determined who will have completed the course in that grade under the principalship of W. C. Maxwell. At the junior high school the promotion exercises have been discarded by a vote of the pupils and will be of the simplest degree of formality. Dimplomas are bestowed at a gathering of pupils, parents and interested friends at the junior high school auditorium. No program will be given. At the Central school, it is expected that there will be about 60 pupils to complete the sixth grade of work and enter junior high school. There will be 52 graduates from the high school, and the closing entertainments and exercises will begin Friday, June 17. When the senior junior reception of the year will be given.

The team she has not met is Whittler which is entering a team for the first time in the Elks league. Local fans see no difficulty ahead of the Anaheim team short of the So. Calif. championship which Anaheim certainly believes it is going to figure in. Next Sunday a last practice game will be played at Commonwealth park, Fullerton, with Los Angeles K. of C.'s whom the locals defeated 3 to 2 last Sunday. LIBERTY PET. CO.

Symphony Orchestra won a warm place for itself in the hearts of music lovers at the Anaheim H.S. auditorium last night. From the first number, Von Suppes' overture,"Morning, Noon and Night," which many declared the most pleasing on the varied program, to the last, the ever popular and rhythmic "National Emblem," by Badgley, the large audience voiced its hearty appreciation in unstinted applause. The genuine music produced by this promising young symphony was a continuous surprise as number after number rolled out delightfully. Among the pleasant renditions were American sketches,"Down South," by Myddleton; Dagger Dance from "Natoma" by Kerbert; "Spring, Beautiful Spring," by Lincke, one of the most pleasing numbers; "Serenade" by Tozelli; "Oriental," by Herbert. Grace Sayre, soprano, with Clara Schaff, accompanist, contributed no small part to the enjoyment of the evening with the aria,"One Fine Day," from "Madame Buttiny," by Puccini! "I Heard a Thrush at Eve," by Cadman, and "Winds of the South," by Scott. The soprano also sang with orchestral accompaniment,"The Star," by Rogers and "If Flowers Could Speak," by Manna-Zucca.

D. last week on account of the seriousness illness of her aged father, decided at the last minute to go east by a more northern route rather than the route that would have taken her thru flood-striken Pueblo, Colo. Had she gone as she first intended, it is probable that she would have been a passenger on the train than sank into the flood water with awful cost of life. Instead, she decided to return via Pueblo.

They were arrested June 1 by Harry Leipsig, Santa Ana merchant, with two paper bags alleged to have contained drygoods stolen from his store and the Rankin dry goods store. REALISTIC MOVIES OF ARGONNE TO BE SHOWN BY LEGION Unique Motion Pictures of Actual War Obtained by Signal Corps to be Seen at Grand Anaheim Post of the American Legion has been enabled to obtain a very unique motion picture of actual war scenes, taken by the signal corps of the 91st Division, which will be shown at the Grand theatre June 14, A. H. Shipkey, chairman of the entertainment committee of the Legion who has charge of the presentation of the picture, stated today. The scenes were taken in the Argonne and in Belgium, and are very realistic, he stated. There will be two shows and only a nominal charge will be made.

Tsuhara, who was driving the car in which his son was seated, secured the license number of the McCoy machine. According to Mrs. Tsuhara, McCoy refused to give his name at the time of the accident. WOMAN GRADUATES AT DREW SEMINARY Many Anaheim people will be interested in the following from the Newark (N. J.) News concerning Mrs. Esther Turner Wellman, wife of Mr. C. R. Wellman, former Anaheim boy and graduate of Anaheim high school. Mr. Wellman also graduated from U.S.C. in 1919 and has just graduated with his wife from Drew Theological Seminary.

Mr. Serailian is an Armenian by birth and and descendant of a family in Cappadocia which has made a living for generations by distilling perfumes from flowers, and his father's plant was the only one in that historic country devoted to this industry. Mr. Serailian is a graduate of the American college established there, and won degrees in art and science, afterwards serving as a teacher until 1898 he came to the United States, took a full course at the Taylor university in Indiana and a post-graduate course in the University of Chicago major.

AIRPLANE ACCIDENT VICTIMS RECOVERY At the Santa Ana hospital today it was reported that all who were brot there with injuries suffered when the airplane dropped on the sands at Huntington Beach Sunday were doing as well as expected and would recover despite the fact that several were very severely crushed. TODAY'S RESULTS Taken from Board at Anaheim AT DREW SEMINARY Many Anaheim people will be interested in the following from the Newark (N. J.) News concerning Mrs. Esther Turner Wellman, wife of Mr. C. R. Wellman, former Anaheim boy and graduate of Anaheim high school. Mr. Wellman also graduated from U.S.C. in 1919 and has just graduated with his wife from Drew Theological Seminary. Following is from the Newark paper: MADISON, May 23—Much interest is being shown in Methodist Episcopal church circles in the fact that Drew Theological Seminary last week gave its first diploma and degree of bachelor of divinity to a woman, Mrs. Esther Turner Wellman, the first of her sex to complete the full course at the seminary. Her husband, Coe R. Wellman, was also a member of Drew's 1921 class. Mrs. Wellman was reared in a missionary home in Old Mexico, where her father had charge of the Friends Publishing House at Victoria, where he and Mrs. Wellman's mother went as Missionaries under the Quaker board. Licensed to preach by action of the conference of the Plaza Mexican Methodist Episcopal Church in Los Angeles, Mrs. Wellman won the distinction of being the first woman to be made a local preacher in a charge under the recently organized Latin-American Mission. Mrs. Wellman has preached in the Spanish language since she was 17 and became a student missionary in Los Angeles in 1911. In 1919 she was graduated from the University of So Calif., and married Mr. Wellman. That fall they enrolled in Drew. Many honors have been bestowed upon Mrs. Wellman. Last year she completed a post-graduate course in Spanish at Columbia University, and received a grade of 100 per cent in Hebrew at Drew. Mrs. Wellman, after completing her course at Columbia, was made dean of the women students. Some of Mrs. Wellman's forebears were church workers, her maternal grandmother being a pastor and evangelist in the Quaker church. Her mother was educated in Earlham College, in Indiana, and then went to Mexico. All her maternal grandmothers but one, as far as can be traced, have been Quaker preachers. Mrs. Wellman has been teacher of Spanish at Drew in the school of missions and will continue this work next year while she works for a doctor's degree at Columbia. Mr. and Mrs. Wellman are planning to leave in a year or two for the mission field of South America. MONTEBELLO BRIDGE IN BY JANUARY 18 A reply was received today by W. M. Irwin, secretary of the Fullerton B. of T., from J. S. Galvin, secretary of the state highway commission, relative to the bridge at Montebello which the B. of T. petitioned be put in before the rainy weather next sea-town. Mr. Seraillian is an Armenian by birth and descendant of a family in Cappadocia which has made a living for generations by distilling perfumes from flowers, and his father's plant was the only one in that historic country devoted to this industry. Mr. Seraillian is a graduate of the American college established there, and won degrees in art and science, afterwards serving as a teacher until in 1898 he came to the United States, took a full course at the Taylor university in Indiana and a post-graduate course in the University of Chicago, majoring in chemistry. He has been in California for nearly a quarter of a century, during which time he has also made a name for himself among the landscape painters of this picturesque region. For several years he was an enthusiastic student of Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa. His experimentation, every vintage season, with characteristic California types of grapes, has resulted in the perfection of a new process which takes his name, and he is recognized by the California Grape Grower, the national organ of the American grape industry, having solved the principal problems in connection with the preservation of grape syrups. He is now at work turning out syrups from citrus fruits. His vacuum pan has overcome the greatest difficulties in concentration. Yesterday, with the secretion of the C. of C. and Mr. E. M. Chalmers, he visited the laboratory of the Citrueb Company and took samples back to Los Angeles with him of this interesting product. It is Mr. Seraillian's wish to locate a plant as near as possible to the center of the greatest lemon culture in California so that the essential oils may be saved and marketed. Any persons interested in suggesting such a locality will be afforded all possible information and cooperation through the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, to whose efforts is due the visit of this accomplished scholar. BANKER SAYS HE'S ILL-IN DALLAS, TEX. LOS ANGELES, June 7—W. Elmer McComb, the Lebanon, Mo., banker and churchman, who has been mysteriously hiding since Erie Mullicane named him as the father of the child for whose murder she must stand trial June 20, has again been heard from. Early today, Mrs. Angela C. Kaufman, wealthy philanthropist, received a letter from McComb at Dallas, Tex. McComb stated that he was too ill to travel but that he would come to Los Angeles as soon as his physical condition would permit.

LAW SUIT OVER CAR SUBMITTED ON BRIEFFS After hearing evidence in the suit of the Anaheim National bank against H. C. White to collect $1200 owing on a contract for an auto or to recover the auto, Superior Judge West asked that the case be submitted on briefs. White testified that he had paid for the car in full and signed the contract presented by the agent only because it was stated to be "the customary thing." Bank officials stated they had taken over the contract from the agent in good faith, accepting the word of the agent and the signature of White to the contract. SALVATION ARMY TO AID FLOOD REFUGEEES The Salvation Army at Santa Ana was receiving donations today for Pueblo Relief fund. The Army expects to raise $250. The Orange-co Red Cross have received no notice of special appeals for relief at Pueblo. If it's from Witman's it's good! This Paper Believes in the People and Desires Nothing Better Than Their Continued Confidence. TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR VISIT TEST WEST OF CITY Scores of Autoists Flock to Wildcats Being Drilled by Standard at Garden Grove, and Petroleum Midway at Buena Park Is there an oil field at the western outskirts of Anaheim? This is the question that is proving of keenest interest to oil fans—which includes all property owners and about everyone else residing in northern Orangeco. They expect to obtain their answer in the test wells being drilled by the Standard Oil Co. at Garden Grove and by the Petroleum FARMERS REGISTER KICK OVER RATES Two engineers from the state R. R. commission were at the Fullerton city hall today to hear complaints from farmers on their electric power bills. It was a warm day but that wasn't the only reason that the engineers sweat frequently as farmer after farmer wanted to know why, in the face of the reported removal Midway at the corner of Buena Park-blvd and County-rd. Every day and evening scores of autoists visit the rigs at these experimental locations. The Petroleum Midway, well, that was started last Wednesday, is down 700 feet today, and everything proceeding satisfactorily. The Standard is down 1600 feet and is progressing satisfactorily after some hard drilling around the 800 foot mark late last week. Altho the rotary is being used in both holes, drilling is being done carefully so that correct logs of the formations may be obtained. "There's going to be no helter-skelter racing as featured some of the early drilling at Huntington Beach, with consequent Bolsa Chica gas blowouts," declared an official of one of the companies. In the meanwhile, the Lessons Oil Co. is rushing preparations to drill at Hansen Station, the rig site being about a half a mile from the Petroleum Midway location. Lumber has been bought for the derrick and machinery hired. The derrick is to be erected within two weeks. FARMERS REGISTER KICK OVER RATES Two engineers from the state R. R. commission were at the Fullerton city hall today to hear complaints from farmers on their electric power bills. It was a warm day but that wasn't the only reason that the engineers sweat frequently as farmer after farmer wanted to know why, in the face of the reported removal of the war-time surcharge, his power bills were higher this year than last, which was supposed to be a maximum power year, on account of the drought, as well as a maximum rate year. The subject of power rates occupied much of the attention of ranchers at the Fullerton Farm Center meeting last year. "They say us farmers don't know so very much," declared H. H. Hale of Placentia, "but I guess we're able to tell the difference between our bills this year and last." A. A. Mills stated that his minimum rate had been fixed at $750 this year, compared with $50 last year. Other ranchers agreed that this was "some raise." HEAVY VOTE BEING CAST TODAY IN L. A. LOS ANGELES, June 7.—Indications early today pointed to the polling of more than 100,000 votes in the municipal election. Three factors contributed to bringing out a large vote: A spirited and close mayoralty contest, a sharp drawing of lines between reactionaries and progressives in the school board fight and the bond issues. Both sides claimed victory in the mayoralty contest, with Cryer forces predicting the larger majority. 4 CHILDREN SLIDE TO DEATH PUEBLO, Colo., June 7.—Four may be dead and more than 1000 persons are stranded in La Junta, Colo., which is without water, according to reports brought to Pueblo by W. E. Pape, 2102 Court-st. "I was told that one woman who lives near Manzanola, lost her four children. The whole family was washed away in their house but managed to get on top of the roof. The children slid off one by one and were drowned. I do not know of any bodies resovered," Pape said. MOTHER DENIES CHARGE CLEVELAND, O., June 7.—Mrs. Mary Brickel, mother of Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber, pleaded not guilty before Judge Bernon here today to first degree murder on which she, Mrs. Kaber and Mrs. Kaber's daughter, Miss Marlan McArdle, were indicted in connection with the stay-care case. There's going to be no helter-skelter racing as featured some of the early drilling at Huntington Beach, with consequent Bolas Chiles gas blowouts," declared an official of one of the companies. In the meanwhile, the Lessons Oil Co. is rushing preparations to drill at Hansen Station, the rig site being about a half a mile from the Petroleum Midway location. Lumber has been bought for the derrick and machinery hired. The derrick is to be erected within two weeks. P. E. CHIEF TELLS INROADS OF STAGES The principal feature of the weakly meeting of the Anaheim Kiwanis club at the high school today at noon was an address by H. V. Titcomb, first vice president of the Pacific Electric Railway, on cooperation between the business men and the public service corporations. He stated that there was often unmerited and foolish antipathy among business men to these corporations, and that there is a general erroneous sentiment that these were not the same as other business enterprises. They are essentially the same, he declared. The only difference is that they usually represent the interest of several individuals combined, while other business companies usually represent an individual or only a small group of individuals. He called attention to the manner in which people are permitting bus companies to wear out the public highways at practically no cost to them. He stated that the biggest showing from taxes to the state by bus companies show the percentage of taxation is a maximum of .0361 per cent on the profits, while the rail roads have to pay a percentage of 33 per cent on this profit. He declared that the competition to the Pacific Electric by the bus companies on this basis has bristled it to the verge of collapse and asked for the sake of this section of the state he appealed to that something he done. The bus companies would not be able to handle all the passenger traffic if the electric railways were forced to stop running, he said. As evidence of this he stated that a million and more passengers were handled last year by the Pacific Electric. As an instance of favoritism on the part of municipal authorities to the bus companies he stated that Los Angeles built a concrete road to San Pedro and platforms along the wharves without charge which could be used by the bus companies, while the P. E. not only had to furnish its own facilities at the harbor but to pay a large tax also. Mr. Titcomb was accompanied by Edward H. Sharpe, general agent of the Pacific Electric.
