Schoboe of the American City League this morning. "I am pleased to give you a brief outline of the things that we hope to do with the full cooperation of the citizens of Anaheim and surrounding community. "It will be our earnest endeavor to build here a more modern and permanent commercial organization and of the type that has proven most successful in other progressive communities." The first requirement of a successful organization is a working membership. The people here must take a sufficient interest in the welfare of their community to give a portion of their time along with many others in committee work for the advancement of the community's interests. During the campaign it is expected that more than one hundred citizens will rally to the support of the movement. The second essential of a successful organization is adequate income. This will be raised through the membership subscriptions and pledges made to the service fund of the organization. Every live wire in the community should take out a membership while in addition to the membership certain firms and organizations more largely interested in the promotion of the community will contribute an additional amount to the service fund for use in direct promotional activities. The third essential is a definite program of work. This will be built from the suggestions of the members themselves. In other words, the organization will do just exactly what the membership wants it to do, no more, no less. But the definite program gives the organization a goal toward which it will work, and at the end of the year you will be able to measure in more or less exact terms just how successful your organization has been. This is the greatest possible encouragement for specific action and prevents interminable delays. The installation of a system of committee organization and control which is so designed as to give the best possible results. This is based upon the interests of the members themselves and the ability of each to do the particular job outlined for his activity. A good system of office accounting and management which is designed to give accurate and useful records at all times and to record the activities of each individual member so that those who DO will be given the credit for DOING. Thru the use of all these essentials there will be developed a number of competent leaders who will be able to take a hand at the helm whenever the need arises. It is this leadership that every community Sam Kraemer, Theo. Roberts, Fritz Yungblut, J. J. Schnelder, Geo. Dunton, Paul Taggart, Wm. Falkenstein, O. H. Renner, Oscar Heying, F. E.

In speaking of the campaign, Mr McCord says: "Every man in Anaheim and the surrounding community should align himself with the expansion campaign of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. The movement is one that will benefit the whole community and not any particular section or group of interests. "Our citizens must cooperate and work in harmony if we are to advance correspondingly with other progressive communities about us who realize the value of organization and organized leadership. We must work together to solve our problems and to promote our own best interests." PEPPER ACREAGE IS REDUCED THIS YEAR With 600 tons of Mexican chili peppers grown in the Garden Grove district, still left from last year, the average has been greatly reduced. stated Floyd Kealher, the "pepper king," of the Garden Grove-rd., today California chillis were cleaned out. Kealher still has $18,000 worth of peppers in storage and concedes that the situation is not as bright as it might be. However, he still expects to dispose of his stock. According to Kealher, the area devoted to Mexican peppers this year is about 1200 acres compared to 1700 acres last year. There are about 800 acres of California peppers, which is about the same as last year. 8 GIRLS HURT WHEN WHITE BUS UPSETS Two girls were seriously injured and four others were slightly hurt when a large White Co. auto passenger bus turned turtle after a skid on the pavement of the highway between Montebello and the end of the Stevenson-ave, car line in Los Angeles today.

It is this leadership that creeks community needs and there is no place where it is developed so well as through the chamber of commerce. Just as an army without leaders soon becomes a mob in a community without leaders often flounders almostlessly and carelessly through the years. But the assistance and cooperation of every person in the community is necessary to realize most fully upon these essentials. This is the opportunity time to lend a hand for Anahil." ALQUIN TRIES TO ROB HOUSE IN L. A. LOS ANGELES, June 22.—"Little Phil" Alquin, hunted as the slayer of Detective Sergeant John J. Fitzgerald early today attempted to rob the home of Alfred Bardell, 436 Macy-st, and again escaped a squad of officers sent out to capture him.

He was about to ransack a bedroom when Bardell discovered him. DAWNES DRAWS PLUM WASHINGTON, June 22.—Charles G.

When thru with Your Plain Dealer, Mail to East Orange County Plain Dale LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Wednesday, June 22, 1921 WOMAN NABBED IN $40,000 P. O. THEFT LOS ANGELES, June 22—Charged with being connected with the disappearance of a registered package containing $40,000, owned by a Los Angeles bank and which was stolen at Bisbee, Ariz., Mrs. Hattie A. Luke, wealthy ranch woman of this city and Arizona, is under arrest at Phoenix. Mrs. Luke is 56 years old and owns much property in Los Angeles. News of Mrs. Luke's arrest was brot to Los Angeles today by Post-office Inspectors Clark E. Webster and W. G. Means. The woman, attho wealthy in reality holdings has been unable to furnish the $50,000 bail required. The inspectors claim they obtained confessions from Postmaster L. R. Bailey of the Bisbee postoffice and his chum, Matt Keton, that the robbery of the registered mail was "framed up." Bailey and Keton are expected to plead guilty, Mrs. Luke, however, is standing pat. She denies knowledge of the robbery, even though she is accused of knowing where $20,000 of the loot is cached. 60 ROTARIANS HEAR REASONS WHY C. C. SHOULD DEVELOP V. H. Rosetti, Los Angeles Banker, Talks on Foreign Trade and Finance Speaking before a crowd of 60 Rotarians and guests, S. C. Haight, the first speaker introduced at the luncheon this noon, spoke of the needs of a civic-commercial organization. "It is an organization," he said, "which is designed to meet the wants of a community. Trade increases and expands because the wants of the people." SEAL BEACH IS DROWN URGE NEW EFFORTS TO WITHDRAW FRONT OF DREYFUSS-BLDG S. Q. R. Store Takes Over Gable Millinery Location and Will Make Alterations With the announcement today that the S. Q. R. department store was taking over the storeroom which has been occupied by the Cable Millinery store and was contemplating some alterations and improvements, Mayor Wm. Stark today interested himself in another effort to get the owners of the Dreyfuss-bldg to set back the front. One of the obstacles that has always been in the way of this much desired improvement to the business district has been the assertion that the dropping back of the front the desired distance would curtail the storeroom space for the S. Q. R. considerably. Mayor Stark believes a solution presents itself in the removal of the stairway now leading up from the Center-st front around to the center or southend of the building on the Los Angeles-st side. The mayor be Jack Herbst, 14, Leaps From Sp Feet of Water on Sunset Beach Bay and Never Co Jack Herbst, 14, Seal Beach set Beach side of Anaheim bay afternoon. He had gone to Sunset Beach to spend the day with an uncle, Otto Keim. He had planned to swim in the bay as a part of the day's amusement. Not knowing how to swim, he leaped from a spring-board into ten feet of water. His body never came. A lineman on the Pacific Electric bridge nearby witnessed the tragedy and leaped into the water, recovering the body within about 15 minutes. A pulmotor was rushed from Seal Beach and the life saving corps from Long Beach labored over the body without result. The remains were taken to the Keim home. HUNT LOST FLEET PIRATES OFF CAPES WASHINGTON, June 22.—While the theory that a submarine pirate is operating off the Virginia capes gained circulation in naval circles SHOULD DEVELOP V. H. Rosetti, Los Angeles Banker, Talks on Foreign Trade and Finance Speaking before a crowd of 60 Rotarians and guests, S. C. Haight, the first speaker introduced at the luncheon this noon, spoke of the needs of a civic-commercial organization. "It is an organization," he said, "which is designed to meet the wants of a community. Trade increases and expands because the wants of the people grow larger and larger. In a community you will hear someone express a want. You will see that want grow and grow. Directly an organization is formed to fulfill the want. Then the thing is done. "That is the need of a Chamber of Commerce. It meets the wants and needs of the community. It gives expression to community life. And it is thru this expression that communities grow. The better organization Anaheim supports, the quicker and more thoro expression will be given to the wants and needs of this city." "I do not have to ask Rotarians to assist in this campaign. Wherever we have been we have found Rotarians always willing to work in every movement for the betterment of the city." H. H. Benjamin, the presiding officer of the day, then introduced V. H. Rosetti, vice president and casier of the Farmers and Merchants National bank of Los Angeles, as the principal speaker of the day with foreign trade as his topic. "All of us are interested in foreign trade," said Mr. Rosetti. "No city or country can live unto itself. What would happen if you would build a wall around Anaheim and shut out trade? It is obvious that the city would languish and die." To assist in the financing of foreign trade, congress has passed the Edge bill authorizing the formation of the Foreign Trade Finance Corporation with a capital of $100,000,-000 the debentures f which are being offered to the public. It is extremely important that all of us help in the work to be furthered by this corporation. In this country we produce 35 pct. more than we consume. Unless we can sell this 35 pct. in foreign markets a large portion of our industries must close down. "And in this connection, I wish to urge the people to exercise more economy. Unless we produce with economy we cannot compete in foreign markets. On every side I observe enormous waste. Our prosperity cannot continue under these conditions." A large delegation attended the meeting from Santa Ana while there were several other local visitors at the meeting. AMERICA DEFEATS HUNT LOST FLEET PIRATES OFF CAPES WASHINGTON, June 22—While the theory that a submarine pirate is operating off the Virginia capes gained circulation in naval circles today, plans were formed to send a fleet of airplanes, armed and equipped for actual war, to solve the mystery of the "vanishing fleet." Between 11 and 20 vessels have disappeared "without trace" and the full functioning of the United States government today was being given to the attempt to solve this greatest modern mystery of the sea. Another theory is that a nest of wreckers is located somewhere on one of the small islands or inlets along the Virginia or Carolina coast and that these pirates operate by means of power boats to capture, foot and scuttle ships, either murding their crews or holding them prisoners at some secret point. The only actual clew thus far obtained was in the form of a message in a bottle which said than "an oil rader" had captured one of the vanished vessels and was handcuffing the crew. An "oil rader;" the naval officials point out, might well be one of the Deisel engineed submarines, such as Germany used with such efficiency during the recent war. They say, also, that it is entirely possible that one or more of these German U-boats passed into the hands of outlaws of the seas, though they fail to explain the reason for the operating field of such a craft to be laid on the coast of the United States. There also is the theory that a "Bolshevik submarine" may be responsible for the disappearances, with Russia as its original starling point. PEOPLE VOTE FOR INCREASED TAXES That money paid into the county, city and school funds is used in carrying out the wishes of the taxpayers was emphasized in an address delivered at the Santa Ana Rotary club luncheon Monday, by County Assessor James Seleper. "The people want better schools better roads and better public buildings," said Sleeper. "For a number of years the people have been voting additional taxes for the things they want." Sleeper pointed out that it costs more to get things done now than it did ten years ago. "And in this connection, I wish to urge the people to exercise more economy. Unless we produce with economy we cannot compete in foreign markets. On every side I observe enormous waste. Our prosperity cannot continue under these conditions." A large delegation attended the meeting from Santa Ana while there were several other local visitors at the meeting. AMERICA DEFEATS BRITISH POLO TEAM HURLINGHAM, Eng., June 22—America's great polo team lifted the famous international cup by defeating the British team, 10 to 6, here today in the second match of the series, which was for the best two in three. Capt. Devereaux Milburn and his dashing players won the right to carry the cup back to America in the presence of the greatest crowd that ever witnessed a polo match in the British Isles. The prince of Wales was a spectator and the nobility turned out in force. Capt. Milburn recovered from the injuries to his back that threatened to keep him out of last week's match, was the inspiration to his team again today. FUMIGATOR NOW HAS $60,000 IN CANVAS R. E. Coffman, veteran fumigator, will have $60,000 invested in canvas when he receives $12,080 worth of tents now being made up for the opening of the season about July 20. The order contains 22 64-foot tents purchased especially for some big orange trees of the 800-acre citrus ranch of C. C. Chapman. There are also 52 40-foot tents, 52 36-foot, 15 48-foot and 30 30-foot. Coffman will operate nine rigs, each with 60 tents and with four to six men. Last year he bot $11,088 worth of canvas. HURRICANE SWEEPS OVER GULF COAST WASHINGTON, June 22.—The break in the hurricane sweeping the Texas gulf coast probably will not come for 24 hours, the weather bureau said today. HOUSTON, Texas, June 22.—Ragging winds and rains of rain swept the Texas gulf coast today, tearing trees from their roots and doing extensive property damage. The gale, whose maximum velocity was 75 miles an hour, swept northeastward from the mouth of the Rio Grande. The howling storm, bringing with it a rapidly rising tide, as first reported from Brownsville after radio messages from the sea warned guelf coast inhabitants of danger. The storm swept the Padre and Brazos islands, off shore, and hundreds of vacationers fled to the mainland for safety. Flood warnings were given to people who live in the lowlands of Galveston, where the U.S. weather service reported a six-foot rise in the tide. That money paid into the county city and school funds is used in carrying out the wishes of the taxpayers was emphasized in an address delivered at the Santa Ana Rotary club luncheon Monday, by County Assessor James Sleeper. "The people want better schools better roads and better public buildings," said Sleeper. "For a number of years the people have been voting additional taxes for the things they want." Sleeper pointed out that it costs more to get things done now than it did ten years ago. The assessor declared that in his dealing with the oil companies he has found the oilmen willing to do the fair thing. When shown that their assessments are fair, they, with few notable exceptions, pay their taxes cheerfully. Sleeper said that the total amount raised for the schools in this county has increased 500 per cent in ten years for roads 350 per cent; for salaries 61 per cent. The assessed valuation this year will be raised, as the result of the growth of enterprises to about 400 per cent of what it was ten years ago. F. L. Andrews, chairman of the meeting, as secretary of the Santa Ana school board said that the reason for the increased cost of running the schools of Santa Ana is due to an increase in the cost of supplies of 100 per cent since 1915 and to the cost of maintaining the teaching force which has increased 90 per cent since 1915. The cost per pupil in Santa Ana high school in 1915 was $78 and it is now $141; the cost per pupil in the grammar schools was $34 in 1915 and it is now $74. Committees were appointed by chairman W. H. Spurgeon of the Rotary club for a picnic and bail game with Long Beach Rotary. FIRST CAR OF CONCENTRATES The first carload of silver concentrates from the Silverado property of the Blue Light Silver Mines Co., of Anaheim, was started toward Frisco today. It contained 790 sacks averaging about 75 pounds and assaying from $200 to $300 per ton. The company expects to move two carloads a month from now on.

ANAHEIM LEGION MEETS LAST NIGHT The regular meeting of the Anaheim Post, American Legion, was held last night in Fisher hall, and matters of business were discussed. Reports of various committees were made including that of the committee on entertainment which reported receipts of $130 from the show of the New Grand theatre. DEBATING WHETHER LAWRIE MUST KEEP UP WATER SERVICE Atty. Wm. Webb Denies He Can Withdraw from Obligations He Voluntarily Assumed The proposition of getting water to the Mexican colony at the head of Lemon-at, where peddlers are said now to be the sole source of supply at 20c per pail, seemed to simmer down today to whether or not the service that has been supplied for ten years by W. S. Lawrie and which he has discontinued comes under the authority of the railroad commission. Lawrie claimed today that his was not a public utility and offered as evidence the following, which is a printed form that he received from the railroad commission several years ago in response to a letter: "Section 1029—Subdivision (c): "Power of Railroad Commission. The Railroad Commission has no power to compel a corporation which owns property in private right, and has not dedicated it to any public use, to apply it to a public use of..." ANAHEIM LEGION MEETS LAST NIGHT The regular meeting of the Anaheim Post, American Legion, was held last night in Fisher hall, and matters of business were discussed. Reports of various committees were made including that of the committee on entertainment which reported receipts of $130 from the show at the New Grand theatre. The dances of the legion are said to be coming alog fine, and the attendance growing. Plans for the new club house are still being discussed, but the legion has been unable to "start the ball rolling" as yet. It is difficult to raise the money. There was a fair attendance. The Women's Auxiliary of the local American Legion post also held its regular meeting last night, at the old city hall over the fire department. Seventeen members were present. The ladies are planning a benefit card party within the near future to be held in Pressel hall. Mrs. H. E.

STANDARD PASSES THRU HARD STUFF The Standard test well at Garden Grove after several days very slow drilling on account of the hard formation. In the "soft stuff" again and is proceeding satisfactorily. One of the head drillers was reported today to be seeking some acreage on his own account in the vicinity of the well. This is considered a "good omen" by residents of the community. The Petroleum Midway well at Anaheim and Buena Park-rds is still in the hard formation and was reported to have made only ten feet of hole on last night's tower. The hole is about 1700 feet deep. Rigbuilders started wrok today on the derrick for the Lessors Oil Co. at Hansen station. PEGGY WON'T GO ON STAND CHICAGO, June 22—Peggy Hopkins Joyce, who is suing J.

The court also informed Joyce's counsel that the decision on the allmony and fee question may be handed down as early as June 29. ERTLE WILL REFEREE FIGHT JERSEY CITY, N. J., June 22—Harry Ertl, New Jersey, was named today to referee the Dempsey-Carpentler fight here July 2. Lawrie claimed today that his was not a public utility and offered as evidence the following, which is a printed form that he received from the railroad commission several years ago in response to a letter: "Section 1029—Subdivision (c): "Power of Railroad Commission— The Railroad Commission has no power to compel a corporation which owns property in private right, and has not dedicated it to any public use, to apply it to a public use of any kind. "That a water company was authorized by its articles of incorporation to engage in public service, or that it had acquired a water supply and constructed waterworks, constituting a system which it was operating for compensation, did not necessarily justify the conclusion that it was engaged in public service, or that its water was dedicated to public use; since a corporation, though having power to engage in such service, may not do so, and may acquire and hold a water supply and waterworks and distribute and sell water for domestic use and irrigation, or other purposes, without engaging in public service. "The owner of a water supply is not compelled to dedicate all of it to public use, but may dedicate a part only, reserving the remainder for private purposes, or for private sale or disposition, or may make a limited dedication, confining the use to such territory as he sees fit." ("Decided by the Supreme Court of California, in the case of Del Mar Water, Light and Power Co., v. Eshlemann, which decision is printed in volume 140 of the Pacific Reporter, page 591.") After reading over the above article, Wm. P. Webb, Jr., today gave it as his opinion that it did not apply to the Lawrie situation. Webb said: "A similar situation developed recently on the outskirts of Los Angeles where a man with a comparatively small pumping plant was serving a dozen neighbors at rates higher than in Los Angeles but which were satisfactory to all but one who applied to the railroad commission. That body ordered a similar schedule as in Los Angeles under which he claims he is operating at a loss. Efforts are being made now to hook these consumers onto the Los Angeles system in order to help out the plant owner." City Manager O. E. Steward was still of similar opinion today after reading the notice from the R. R. commission to Lawrie. "It seems to me the situation is entirely comparable to ranchers who must continue supplying water to neighbors, once they have started," declared the city manager. Lawrie is continuing work of repairing his plant. He showed a bill this morning from a local machine shop where work done yesterday amounted to $15. He says he spent a similar sum preceding day.
