One division will be given charge of each district. Then each district will be sub-divided into seven parts with a captain in charge of each. By this method it is felt that the entire city can be covered in three days with the teams working three hours each morning. Working time will be from nine am to noon, when all workers will meet at a central place for reporting results obtained during the preceding 24 hours. "There will be a place in this campaign for every citizen of Anselm," said Campaign Manager Schoubos this morning. "We want everybody to feel that he or she has a part in the organization that is being built here. There certainly is work enough to go around and unless every person does his share some of it will not be done. The responsibility for inaction, therefore, will lay on the shoulders of those who do not co-operate and not on the workers who are each doing their share. In the words of Chairman McCord: 'The time has arrived—Let's go!' J. B. STANCHFIELD, N. Y. LAWYER, DIES NEW YORK, June 25—John B. Stanchfield, one of the best known lawyers in the United States and a prominent Democrat leader of New York died at Blip, L. I., today following a brief illness.

UNABLE TO CONVICT CHICAGO, June 17—Mrs. Cora Orthwein was at liberty today, freed of the charge of shaying Herbert R. Zeigler, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. executive. The pretty divorcee was acquitted by jury last night after a deliberation of one hour. Three ballots were taken. "Public opinion freed me," said Mrs. Orthwein. "You can't convict a pretty woman," the state attorney said. BUYS THORNBERRY BUNGALOW Mrs. D. Arnold Singleton today purchased the Thornberry bungalow at the northwest corner of Lemon and Willingham-street in front of the Simpson residence. WESTERN PACIFIC TO FRESNO FRESNO, Calif., June 25—The relief measure by the city followed a thorro investigation of the whole situation yesterday afternoon by Jan. Housen, field representative of the Los Angeles office of the Cal R. R. commission. Van Housen spent seven hours, extending until late last evening thoroughly going over the situation. He went from house to house, turned on taps to see if the water would run, quizzed Lawrie, Mrs. Frances K. Morri, American proprietor of a candy stand on the tract who has lead the fight for water, even climbed up the ladder to the top of Lawrie's tank to investigate reports that it hadn't been cleaned out in months, contained several inches of sediment, wiggle-tails, angle worms, etc. He soon disillusioned Lawrie on one point and that he was operating a public utility and was subject to regulation by the railroad commission. He told Lawrie he could be made to furnish adequate service to the colony. Mrs. Morri contended that further service by Lawrie would not solve the situation unless it really was adequate was inspected for sanitary precautions every so often and each house was provided with a meter so that the water user could know he was getting what he was paying for. Following his investigation it was too late for Van Housen to see City Manager Steward and he stated he would write him about the situation and ascertain if the city could not come to the assistance of the tract. It was a question whether Lawrie would be forced to fix his plant and continue the service, since it is apparently no longer desired either by himself or the Mexicans. He assured the Mexicans they were going to get water somehow, somewhere. Mrs. Morri, who has expended much effort to bring relief to the tract was especially grateful this afternoon for even the temporary assistance afforded by the city. "We have certainly had it brot home to us that water is in the malstait to life," declared Mrs. Morri, "When I think of how little Mexican children have come to my store with a single penny in a grimy hand with which to buy a bit of candy as the ostensible excuse for obtaining a drink of water from my ice chest, I cannot help but feel; oh; so happy." CLAIM GREEK ARMY DRAFTS AMERICANS WASHINGTON, June 25—At the instaunted of the national legislative committee of the American Legion, the state department has cabled the Aberican legation at Athens, Greece, instructions to investigate the status of 15 American veterans of the World War, who temporarily residing in Greece, claim to have been mobilized into the Greek military service.

LESSONS IN CITIZENSHIP No. 2 In 1930 Anaheim will look like and be just what the average business man and citizen of today wishes. Mind you, the city will not make the progress that one or two broad-minded men can image. Far sighted leaders are held back by the indifference and ignorance of individuals who CAN'T SEE. It is necessary for the men who WANT progress—who want to see the prosperity and conveniences of 1930 brought into use as early as possible—to organize to the end that the whole community may be carried forward. In more than 2500 American cities and towns the business and professional men have banded themselves together in a more or less intelligent effort to ascertain what things will advantage the community and having fixed upon the things worth while, to seek and strive for them unfitly and unceasingly. A Chamber of Commerce is a chamber of citizenship. Its primary function is TO MAKE THE PUBLIC THINK. When the public begins to think, the first step toward business prosperity has been taken. If the public is to begin thinking right about its own future, this fundamental fact must be kept clearly to the front: "all property values, all business values and all professional values that exist in any city are made by the Spirit of its citizens." When thru with Your Plain Dealer, Mail to Ea Orange County Plain Dale LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Saturday, June 25, 1921 CONVICT 11 OF 13 IN $1,000,000 P. O. THEFT TOLEDO, Ohio, June 25.—Eleven of the 13 defendants in Toledo's million-dollar postoffice robbery were convicted by the federal jury which reported to Judge John M. Killits today. Charles Furrler and John J. Epps were the only ones found not guilty. Those convicted were Joseph Urbaytis, George Lewis, alias Rogers; Charles Schultk, James Sansome, Pearl Sommers, Emma Marvin, Wanda Urbaytis, Walter Foote, Edwin Zellich, Harry T. Rush, Helen Furrier. Sentence in each case will be deferred until trials in other indictments now pending are completed. SUPER-PIRACY NEW THEORY ON VESSELS WASHINGTON, June 25.—Superpiracy is the latest theory to account for the vanishing vessels in the great sea mystery. That the government is investigating an alleged international conspiracy on the part of foreign owners to sink vessels heavily insured beyond their present market value was revealed today. Evidence has been placed in the hands of the department of Justice, it was declared, which shows that with the exception of the two American vessels involved all the other ships unaccounted for were bearing insurance far in excess of their present value. "It is ridiculous to assert that natural causes such as storms were responsible for the disappearance of all the ships, or that the story is a hoax," one of the commissioners of the shipping board said. "If storms were responsible, as imitated by the weather bureau," he continued, "wreckage or bodies" FULLERTON ARRESTED SCHOOL SITUATION WILL BE THROWN WIDE OPEN, RUMOR Following News of Abernathy Suit on Architect's Commission, Full Disclosures Promised Following the exclusive announcement in The Plain Dealer yesterday that J. R. Abernathy, former superintendent of the Anaheim grammar schools had brot suit in Los Angeles co., against Jeffrey & Schaefer architects, for $2500 he claims is owing him for going before the Anaheim high school board and the Montebello school board and landing building jobs for them. It was known today that the whole school situation, which has been boiling and bubbling for some time, is to be thrown wide open. "We have known for a long time that there were some things that should be aired," declared a prominent citizen today. "Now the taxpayer is going to have his inning, and its going to be a good one." The disclosure is promised for Monday. ANAHEIM DEFEATS GLENDALE 3 GAMES Dr. D. C. Cowles, Dr. R. V. Graves cist, and Others Taken in By Police and U. The most sensational whisk northern Orange-co were pulled o'clock at Fullerton when several citizens were "nailed" by the city direction of Ed Thwing, city man enue officers, in a coup de fiat w a bolt out of the blue. Two of Fullerton's most prominent physicians, and one of its most prominent druggists, were caught in the "net," as well as four-other personages of lesser note. All are still trying to figure how they got caught. That the laws respecting intoxicating drinks were being flagrantly violated, and that the odor of booze has been rife in certain places at certain times has been known for several weeks. Officers have been working very silently and unostensitiously "running down the clues." The orders were issued last night from the marshal's office for the forces to assemble, and they came armed to the teeth not knowing what was up, but thinking they were to be called into a hunt for the murderer of the Los Angeles detective recently slain. Instead they raided John E. Doty's drug store, and the offices of Drs. D. C. Cowles and R. V. Graves, arresting these men and proceeding hands of the department of justice, it was declared, which shows that with the exception of the two American vessels involved all the other ships unaccounted for were bearing insurance far in excess of their present value. "It is ridiculous to assert that natural causes such as storms were responsible for the disappearance of all the ships, or that the story is a hoax," one of the commissioners of the shipping board said. "If storms were responsible, as intimated by the weather bureau," he continued, "wreckage or bodies would have made their appearance along the coast somewhere." Additional details in the case of the Cuxhaven steamer Senator Schrober became known today. It was shown that when the crew mutined the officers were overpowered and the vessel taken into Murmansk. The vessel was recaptured by a counter mutiny and brought back to the home port, Cuxhaven. FOIL VANDAL PLOT IN SAN FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO, June 25. — A plot to destroy industrial property was frustrated when Daniel Chickering of this city and John Nickerson, Santa Barbara county rancher, were lodged in jail, police believed today. George K. Steele, a watchman, told police, it was said, that Nickerson had offered him $100 to pour sulphuric acid on a derrick used in unloading structural steel in the yard where he was employed. Steele, according to police, turned over the acid to his employers and arranged an interview with the men, for the police to overhear. Detectives John Palmer and Fred Bohr made the arrests when they declared Chickering told Steele they would get him a more remunerative job if he succeeded with this one. The second job, it was stated, was to have been the placing of dynamite under the engine drum equipment used in construction of the federal reserve bank here. SIMPSON BUYS BACK FORMER RANCH HOME G. M. Simpson has bought back his former home and ranch from J. F. Alhborn, who has resided on it for about two years. The ranch and house, east of Anahale, make one of the show plaques of the Anahale district. It is declared the large residence is the best built in the community. It is modern in every way and had a beautiful setting of shrubbery. As a part of the trade, Mr. Alhborn gets the Simpson residence on E. Center-st. Mrs. Simpson is in the east. Mr. Simpson plans to surprise her when she returns by taking her to the ranch home which she parted with regretfully. ANAHEIM DEFEATS GLENDALE 3 GAMES Anaheim made a clean sweep last night here with Glendale in the So. Calif. Elks Bowling league. Long Beach, league leaders, played Redondo last night and presumably made it three straight also, so the relative position of Long Beach and Anaheim, in second place, probably remains the same. The score last night: ANAHEIM ELKS — Gordon ... 187, 192, 159, 538 Dugas ... 165, 170, 142, 487 Evans ... 208, 164, 193, 565 Myre ... 168, 186, 178, 532 Johnson ... 173, 203, 236, 612 Total ... 901, 915, 908, 2724 GLENDALE ELKS — Fortunato ... 146, 148, 149, 443 Huesman ... 182, 159, 177, 518 Clark ... 165, 193, 123, 438 Vilil ... 174, 180, 141, 495 Apell ... 132, 167, 185, 887 Total ... 799, 803, 776, 2378 So.

A. POLICE LOS ANGELES, June 25. — A complete reorganization of the police department, which will mean a big shakeup of the entire force, will be undertaken by Charles A. Jones, veteran detective-sergeant, whose appointment as chief of police has been announced by Mayor-elect Geo-Cryer; it was learned today. Particular attention will be given to the detectives' bureau, the purity squad and the command of outlying branch stations. New commanders will be appointed by Jones to head the detective force, the purity squad and the sub-stations. It is unquestioned that the difficulties existing between District Attorney Woolwine and police chiefs of recent yeasts will disappear when Jones takes office. For the past five years Jones has been assigned to the district attorney's office from the department and certain times has been known for several weeks. Officers have been working very silently and unnotoriously "running down the clues." The orders were issued last night from the marshal's office for the forces to assemble; and they came armed to the teeth not knowing what was up; but thinking they were to be called into a hunt for the murderer of the Los Angeles detective recently slain. Instead they raided John E. Doty's drug store, and the offices of Drs. D. C. Cowles and R. V. Graves, arresting these men, and proceeding further to take W. P. Bentley, 22 years old; Hazel Smith, a negro attorney; and G. Rosecoe and Phil Craddock, negro bootblacks. The physicians were charged with issuing passages indiscriminately. Doty was charged with filling passages indiscriminately; knowing that the whisky was to be used for beverage purposes; and the remainder of the band charged with complicity in selling whisky. The raiders also captured H. M. Remington, Fullerton photographer; on the charge of selling obscene pictures of women; practically nude. He was given a reprimand and fined $10 by Judge French. Those arrested on liquor charges were arraigned before Judge French who collected fines from them aggregating $2550; and gave each of them a suspended sentence of six days on each count on which they were found guilty. G. Roscoe, negro was found guilty on two counts and fined $150; and given a suspended sentence of 180 days. W. P. Bentley was found guilty on one count and fined $150 with 90 days suspended sentence. Hazel Smith, negro attorney; was found guilty on one count and fined $150 and given a suspended sentence of 90 days. John E. Doty was found guilty on three counts; fined $900; and sentenced to 270 days in the county jail with sentence suspended. Phil Craddock, negro was fined $150 and given a suspended sentence of 90 days on one count. Dr.D.C. Cowles was found guilty on one count and fined $300; sentenced to 90 days in jail; sentence suspended; and Dr.R.V.Graves was found guilty on one count; was fined $300 and given a suspended sentence of 90 days in jail. Most of the fines were paid by checks. This was the most unusual raid ever conducted in Fullerton since it was no respecter of persons. Officers say it made a clean sweep of all those against whom sufficient evidence could be obtained to warrant it; then it was strongly intimated there were other "high lights" against whom evidence was being sought. Nevertheless,the officers are of the opinion that this raid will put the taboo on illicit whisky sales in Fullerton; which have been conducted so open and above board within the last few months; it is said... SIGN ADVERTISES C. OF C. CAMPAIGN A sign was installed over the street this morning in front of the C. of C. building on No. Los Angeles street announcing that the extension campaign drive for membership was in progress. The organization bulletin is also being mailed out today, explaining the aims and objects of the campaign. Anyone desiring more information are requested to call at the C. of C. headquarters. The ministers of Anaheim are invited and urged to be present Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. at the C. of C. headquarters by Mr. A. B. McCord. The matters in which Mr. McCord is interested will be explained to them within half an hour. PROBE MYSTERY OF ABANDONED AUTO City Marshal Ed Thwing of Fullerton has reported to Sheriff C. E. Jackson that a Ford car which had been standing at Stern station, near Yorba Linda since last Saturday, had been removed to a garage there and left in charge of J. A. Buckmaster. The report of the abandoned car came first from Mrs. A. R. Supton of Stern station. City Marshal Thwing investigated and found the tires had been striped from the front wheels. The license number showed that the car was registered to Albert J. Mepham, Yerba Buena, Ventura-co. Particular attention will be given the detectives' bureau, the purity squad and the command of putlying branch stations. New commanders will be appointed by Jones to head the detective force, the purity squad and the sub-staffs. It is unquestioned that the difficulties existing between District Attorney Woolwine and police chiefs of recent years will disappear when Jones takes office. For the past five years Jones has been assigned to the district attorney's office from the department and has worked with Woolwine in many important investigations. BELIEVE LITTLE PHIL SHELTERED BY 'RING' LOS ANGELES, June 25.—Capable police detectives working directly under orders of Chief of Police Pendegast and Captain of Detectives Charles R. Moffatt sought today to break up a ring of four men reported shielding Phillip Alguin, suspected alayer of Detective Sergeant John J. Fitzgerald in an underworld rendezvous. Hot tips continue to pour into police headquarters regarding whereabouts of "Little Phil." They are all investigated but found to be false. The police believe the tips to be propaganda of Alguin's friends who are attempting to throw the police off Alguin's trail. LEAVES ON MEXICAN TRIP The Rev. J. C. Nava, in charge of the Mexican mission of the First M. E. church of Santa Ana, departed this afternoon for Chihuahua, Mexico, to attend a national Sunday school and Young People's convention to be held there in a few days. Prominent Mexican Christian leaders will attend. The Rev. Mr. Nava was pastor of the convention church there for four years. He has sisters and numerous friends residing there. It has been 13 years since he came to the U.S. and this will be his first return to his former home. Try Plain Dealer Want Ada Over conducted in Fullerton since it was no respecter of persons. Officers say it made a clean sweep of all those against whom sufficient evidence could be obtained to warrant it, tho it was strongly intimated there were other "high lights" against whom evidence was being sought. Nevertheless, the officers are of the opinion that this raid will put the taboo on illicit whisky sales in Fullerton, which have been conducted so open and above board within the last few months; it is said. There was also a raid in Brea, conducted by the Brea city marshal last night, in which Joe M. Senton was captured on the charge of transporting whisky. He was found guilty and fined $300, and sentenced to 90 days in jail. It is said that if the guilty parties are again found to offend the jail sentences will stand against them, with any additional sentence the judge may see fit to impose. Only small quantities of whisky were captured in the raid last night but the cases had already been worked up so thorously by the officers that conviction was easy, it was stated. COMPENSATION BILL WILL BE DELAYED WASHINGTON, June 25.—Unexpected obstacles to the veterans adjusted compensation bill have arisen which senate leaders offered today may delay passage of the measure for several months. Republican leaders were reticent in discussing the change in the legislative plan. Several senators said it was deemed unwise to push the leisigation a this time. Settlement of the refunding of the allied war debts to this country is said to be one of the obstacles in the way of the so-called bonus bill.

Lewis' vote was slightly more than 13,000 and Gompers polled approximately 25,000. DENVER, Colo., June 25.—Today the hand of fate is determining whether, in the same city where he received his first and only defeat 27 years ago, Samuel Gompers will meet the end of his 40 years of career as leader of the American labor movement. When balloting for president began in the forty-first annual convention of the American Federation of Labor at 10:30 o'clock a.m., supporters of John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine KRAEMER PLANNING BIG OFFICE-BLDG. ON W. CENTER-ST M. Eugene Durfee, Architect, Busy with Extensive Building Plans for Oil Magnate M. Eugene Durfee, architect with offices in the Cassou-bldg, is preparing plans for a modern office building on E. Center-st between the old city hall and the Southland hotel. The property has been purchased recently by Sam Kraemer, oil magnate, and includes the Anaheim Truck and Transfer Co. offices, and the Puritan Dye Works and two yacant lots. Durfee stated today that it had not been determined yet whether it would be made more than two stories at this time, although the walls will be built to support a third. However, it will be modern in every way, including elevators and janitor service. The third story will hinge upon whether there is apparently demand for office space to warrant it. The building will cost between $60,-and $70,000. Arnold Kraemer, a son, is also planning a modern office building across the street, extending from Emily-st to the Kistler-bldg. This will probably cost $50,000. Lewis' vote was slightly more than 13,000 and Gompers polled approximately 25,000. DENVER, Colo., June 25. Today the hand of fate is determining whether in the same city where he received his first and only defeat 27 years ago, Samuel Gompers will meet the end of his 40 years of career as leader of the American labor movement. When balloting for president began in the forty-first annual convention of the American Federation of Labor at 10:30 o'clock a.m., supporters of John L. Lewis, head of the United Mine workers and the 21-year-old opponent of the 71-year-old head of the federation were claiming victory by an overwhelming vote. One-fourth of the votes of the cigarmakers union, Gompers' organization, will be cast against the veteran by J. Mahon Barnes of Chicago. A split in Lewis' delegation will cost him 1579 votes. Frank Farrington, head of the Illinois miners, Robert Harlan of the state of Washington and Alex Howat, all long time foes of Lewis will cast the votes they control for Gompers. When the election began it was still uncertain which side would get the 2000 votes, of the brotherhood of railroad carmen, the fourth largest union in the federation. The vote of this delegation may decide the election. SOCIALISTS PLAN MOSCOW BATTLE DETROIT, June 25. The question of joining the third international of Moscow is the big issue before the annual national convention of the socialist party which opened here this morning. Its endorsement, however, is unlikely as an overwhelming majority of the delegates are "moderate" socialists, according to members who arrived early. Samuel Orr and Charles Solomon, who won national prominence when barred from the New York assembly were among the first arrivals. MAN AWAKES GIRLS; JAILED AS ROBBERS LOS ANGELES, June 25.
