BETTORS WILL ‘CLEANUP’ SHOULD CARPENTIAR WIN No Question That Crowd and Receipts Will Surpass the Fondest Expectations of Promoters; It Takes Pull to Get $50 Seat. NEW YORK, June 30. — A mass of uncertainties surround the Dempsey-Carpentier fight, but in the maze of speculation there is just one certainty and that is this: If Carpentier is returned a winner there will be the greatest “cleanup” by short enders since Corbett beat NECESSITY OF CITY HALL FOR ANAHEIM DENIED BY NO ONE Rental New Paid for Inadequate Municipal Office Represents Fair Interest on $30,000 Old-timers tell of Anaheim’s first venture in the bond-selling game. It was a bright sunny day, early in June, 1891, that the Mother Colony first pledged her municipality integrity, and the trick was turned to the tune of 104 votes for, to $1 against, for bonds to the amount of $15,000. This sum was required to buy property for the fire department, to grade and complete the improvement of streets, and for the extension and completion of a water department, adequate to the needs of the handful of citizens then requiring such Sullivan. Even those who are betting on Carpentier are not particularly hopeful that the Frenchman will win. They merely bet because the odds of three an d four and five to one are very attractive. There is no question that the crowd and receipts will surpass the fondest expectations of the promoters. The cash on hand has passed the million mark and it takes a pull to get a $50 ticket. There are plenty of cheaper seats to be had and the $20 and $25 tickets are moving very slowly. It is expected that the gallery seats, which will be sold only at the arena, will add $100,000 to the fund. While Rickard and the boxers will divide a huge sum, it is the most expensive show ever put on. The arena alone will cost $250,000, and will have to be sold as junk after the battle. As in the case of all record-breaking performances, old timers declare the limit has been reached. It was predicted the Jeffries-Johnson gate of $333,333.33 would stand Old-timer tell of Anaheim's first venture in the bond-selling game. It was a bright sunny day, early in June, 1893, that the Mother Colony first bledged her municipal integrity, and the trick was turned to the tune of 104 votes for; to $1 against, for bonds to the amount of $15,000. This sum was required to buy property for the fire department, to grade and complete the improvement of streets, and for the extension and completion of a water department, adequate to the needs of the handful of citizens then requiring such public services. This "first aid," it is recounted, sufficed for these civil requirements and the property then purchased now represents a goodly item in the present wealth of the municipality, economically estimated at over $700,000. Most So. Calif. cities of progressive spirit today have passed Anaheim in civic preparedness. This is by no means due to inferior citizenship, but to the enormous growth in the past several years of Anaheim, and the depressing fact that its city limits include such a small tract for the production of tax revenue. The bounds of Anaheim remain at the limits fixed by the earliest settlers. Other cities, feeling growing pains, have expanded their limits early and are now able to enlarge their public service arrangements, without recourse to bonding their assets. But in lack of wider limits, and consequently curtailed tax revenue, Anaheim finds it imperative to vote bonds for a new City Hall, extension of its sewer, water and fire department systems, total cost of which is estimated at $160,000, and election for which purpose is called for July 19th. The municipality of Anaheim is inadequately housed in rented quarters at present. Rental paid for these offices represent a fair interest on $30,000; whereas only $75,000 is required for the erection of a modern building, capable of taking care of the needs of the city for many years, even at the present rapid rate of expansion. The records of Anaheim represent values not computable in dollars and cents, and they are at present at the mercy of fire. In the plans for the new city hall, a fireproof repository for such papers is the first thought. Moreover, ample space is provided for additional staff of the various city departments, to be made necessary as Anaheim grows. None deny the absolute necessity of a city hall for Anaheim; if only for purely economic reasons. Anaheim rests under the imputation of being the only city of its rank in the Golden State; without a home for its officers' Economy, pride and dignity bespoke an overwhelming vote in favor of the City Hall bonds, July 19.

It is where you spend your time and find your happiness and true friends. Anaheim gives you your living. It educates your children, protects your life, property and health. It is the people of a city who create values—not its physical characteristics. The most valuable property or business would be practically worthless if there were not people in Anaheim. Therefore, a man owes his community much of what he has. He pays taxes because he has to. But it is a poor citizen who does only two things that he is compelled to do. The good citizen does all he can to develop the civil spirit of his fellow citizens, to make his town a bigger and better place in which to live—to increase enterprise to the end that the utmost in progress will be possible. Membership in the expanded Chamber of Commerce will afford this opportunity for unselfish service in behalf of Anaheim. Do your share for Anaheim.

SUED FOR DIVORCE, BROKEN ENDS LIFE LOS ANGELES, June 30. — After reading the contents of a divorce complaint that has just been served on him, David A. Wardell, 50 years old, real estate broker, penned a remarkable death note and then ended his life in his office at 1241 W. Seventh-st., by inhaling, illuminating gas.

STILLMAN MAY FACE CONTEMPT CHARGES POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y., June 30. — Rumors of contempt proceedings against James A. Stillman were heard today, the second day of the secret hearing in his divorce suit. Stillman's reiterated reply to nearly all questions asked him on the witness stand was: "I refuse to answer on the ground that it might tend to incriminate me." This would be the basis if Mrs. Stillman's counsel decided to ask that he be cited for contempt. He made that reply to such questions as "Is this your photographer?" "Who christened your yacht Modesty?" "Is Baby Jay Leeds your son?" It was significantly stated by a friend of Mrs. Stillman today that "Stillman's evasions may save him in court, but they most certainly and clearly strip him before the eyes of the public." He was plainly "rattled" and ill at ease. Lawyers for the defense admitted they expected to get little from Stillman, who sat mopping his bald head with a handkerchief and studying over the questions. But they felt that the psychological effect of Stillman's panic evasions would be of the utmost value to their client.

JOHN K. BROWN, 81, AUTHOR OF ORANGE SHOW IDEA, DEAD At One Time Operated 51 Shoe Stores in Seven New England States John K. Brown, 81, author of the idea which culminated in the annual Calif. Valencia Orange Show, passed away at 4:15 p.m. Wednesday at his ranch home on West Broadway. The funeral will be held from the Backs and Terry chapel on Friday. Mr. Brown had been very active, despite his age, until he was forced to his bed about six months ago. He built a fortune in the shoe business which he entered in 1876. At one time, with his son, Walter L. Brown, now of Los Angeles, he oper-ated 51 shoe stores in seven New England states and had an interest in a large shoe factory. Later, to be relieved of heavy responsibilities of such large undertakings, he became a travelling shoe salesman.

HIL SCHOOL DO IN COUNTY In Santa Ana today sentatives of the Or- The La Habra Citrus Assn. stated today that it was now shipping out three cars of lemons per day and had reduced its stock in storage from 125 cars to 80 cars. The Foothills Groves packing carloads last week and is speeding the movement even faster this-week. This house topped the market at Boston one day recently, receiving $11.20 for Wave Crest and $10.60 for Goblin. It is now paying out for packers and pickers $300 per week. Fifty pickers are employed. The Yorba Linda Citrus Assn. is shipping at the rate of ten cars of lemons per week. Twenty-five packers are employed. The house still has 50 cars in storage. The Anaheim Orange and Lemon Assn. is averaging two cars of lemons a week, it was stated this morning by G. W. Sandilands, manager. The Anaheim district is not a lemon producing section although some lemons are raised here. This association has shipped about 50 cars of lemons during the season, and expects to ship about 25 cars more. The rise in lemon prices is not surprising, as might at first be that no one expected them to skyrocket as they have done, says Sandilands. The increased prices are due to the fact that in the past the eastern merchants have "stocked up" on lemons for the summer months, but this year they did not do so, buying from hand to mouth instead. Therefore the demand has come to exceed the supply. While the present prices may not continue, yet it is that that the prices will be satisfactory during the remainder of the season. Mr. Sandilands also remarked on the healthy demand for oranges, which is surprising in view of the business depression in the east-Forty-five cars of oranges were sold yesterday in New York at fair prices which shows a healthy demand even in competition with other fruits now coming on the market. "The high price of lemons is due to the hot weather which increases the demand for lemonade, and it is impossible to tell how long these prices will continue." Dale King, of the No. Orange-co Citrus Fruit Exchange, stated today. The prices fell below the high mark today. Packing house managers pointed out that the present high prices would have to continue for some time before the grower would average up decently for the year, because of the impossible market up to five weeks ago. HUFF SEEKING 40 LEMON PACKERS D. Eyman Huff of the big Hewes lemon corporation at El Modena, was in Anaheim yesterday afternoon on a search for lemon packers. Because of the big prices being paid for lemons—the top price yesterday was around $13—and he has despite his age, until he was forced to his bed about six months ago. He built a fortune in the shoe business which he entered in 1876. At one time, with his son, Walter L. Brown, now of Los Angeles, he operated 51 shoe stores in seven New England states and had an interest in a large shoe factory. Later, to be relieved of heavy responsibilities of such large undertakings, he became a traveling shoe salesman. It was on one of his trips in this capacity to the Pacific coast seven years ago that he found Anaheim. Like so many others, he fell in love with the district and decided to embark in the orange business in which he characteristically has been very successful despite the fact he bot his first branch at the age of 74, buying two others later. For a year or two after locating here he continued as a shoe salesman, then gave it up to devote his entire attention to the orange business. Because of his wide business experience, Mr. Brown was the first to see the possibilities of an exposition that would fittingly portray the valencia industry. A year ago last spring, at Mr. Brown's insistent urging, a mass meeting was called by the former Anaheim R. of T. and the matter of an orange show discussed at length. Because it was considered too late in the season to hold, a show last year, the idea was put over until this year. It was a great trial to Mr. Brown that he was not able to see the realization of his dreams. Day after day he planned to visit the exposition but lowering clouds and unseasonable rains caused his doctor to advise against it altho Mr. Brown did not give up the idea until the last day, hoping at least to be strong enough to drive past the exposition grounds. Besides the son, the deceased is survived by the widow and a daughter, Mrs. Alice R. Simpson, of Malden, Mass. With Mrs. J. K. Brown lives her sister, Mrs. Clara Kinclad. The funeral will be at 2 p.m. Friday, Dr. J. A. Geissinger of Metkodist White Temple officiating. Interment in Loma Vista.

HUFF SEEKING 40 LEMON PACKERS D. Eyman Huff of the big Hewes lemon corporation at El Modena, was in Anaheim yesterday afternoon on a search for lemon packers.
