XXIV—No. 294 SHERIFF RAIDS GILLIS RANCH FOR SECOND TIME Westminster Couple, After Paying Fines Today at Santa Ana, Announce They Are Going Back to Their Native Haunts in Belgium. Caught with the goods for the second time within a month by Sheriff C. E. Jackson's booze-raiding squad, Charles Gillis, and wife, Mary, declared today they were going back to their native haunts in Belgium where they wouldn't be pestered to death by inquisitive officials. Their ranch home on the boulevard beyond Westminster was visited last night by the sheriff and Under-sheriff French who found 90 bottles of home brew and a 10-gallon creek of the same. The officials could find no whisky, altho they knew such was in the vicinity as sheriff's detectives have made purchases there. The sheriff expressed the belief today that Gillis kept his whiskey buried somewhere. In justice court at Santa Ana today, Gillis and his wife pleaded not guilty but later changed their pleas to guilty when the sheriff disclosed the evidence in his hands. Each was fined $200. A month ago, Gillis was fined $150 on a similar charge. The sheriff announced the confiscated brew would be dumped into the sewer this afternoon and he and his squad would be out looking for more tonight. 100,000 WATCH PARADE OF BIG ANTLERED HERD LOS ANGELES, July 14—The Bennevolent and Protective Order of Elks passed in review before Los Angeles today.

Today's parade of the Elks themselves, the first of a series that comes as a climax to the week of hilarity in Los Angeles, was an affair of the greatest dignity. No automobiles, carriages, rolling chairs or vehicles of any kind were allowed in the line except those used as floats. William M. Abbott of San Francisco, retiring grand exalted ruler of the order, had expressed the desire to have this tho greatest and the finest parade in the history of Elkdom. A smile of gratification was on his countenance as he sat in the reviewing stand today. The police escort and official band headed the parade as it moved north on Hill street from Pleo at 10:30 this morning. Next came Grand Esquire Michael F. Shannon and his aides, all mounted and dressed at caballeroes of the early days in California. The trappings of their steeds were elegant almost beyond belief. It was estimated that the equipment for the unit cost more than $150,000. Saddles and bridles were of the finest materials and were ornately wrought with silver. And among these horsemen were members of some of California's oldest and richest families. The grand lodge officers riding in automobiles followed, with W.H. Lessner, chairman of the Elks' parade committee, and four aides in the rear. Then came the entlered herd. Los Angeles, host to the visiting lodges, led the others with two bands, a float, a drill team, and a great mass of members neatly dressed in blue and white.

FIND BLOATED BODY FLOATING MILE OFF SHORE AT NEWPORT Believed to be That of Frank Jones, 18, of Los Angeles, Drowned July 4th.

The stiffest game Anaheim has played was with Whittier. The Quakers had the locals beat until the tail end of the game. The San Berdoos also defeated the Quakers by the score of 5 to 4, apparently putting the two teams Sunday on an equal basis. All the Anaheim regulars will be in the lineup and Salveson and Hughes will both warm up. The percentage for this section of the Elks state league is as follows: Won Lost Pct.

In regard to the city hall, it is to be said that the assessment rolls and other fundamental records of Anaheim are now more nearly unprotected than those of any modern city in the west. It is a matter of statistical record that within a pe Believed to be That of Frank Jones, 18, of Los Angeles, Drowned July 4th The bloated body of a man, believed to be that of Frank Jones, 18, of Los Angeles, drowned July 4, was found floating on the waves about a mile off Newport this morning by a fishing schooner.

Eamon de Valera,"president of the Irish republic," and Premier Lloyd George had final conferences with their respective groups of colleagues this morning preliminary to the first session of the peace negotiations, scheduled for 4:30 p.m. in Downing street. The British premier drew up a formal statement of his government's proposals for a settlement. This was to be presented to De Valera this afternoon. The atmosphere was considered distinctly favorable to peace today. Thousands of troops were arriving here today on leave from Ireland, indicating the government has no fear of a quick breakdown of the proceedings. RELIEVE SHORTAGE OF CARS AND TRUCKS Bringing something of a respite to the car famine he has been experiencing, George Dunton today secured from Los Angeles two Ford sedans, two trucks and one touring. Saturday he expects arrival of a carload from Frisco. This will contain 11 autos. Since moving into his new building, the largest garage in Orangeco, Dunton has felt a decided impetus to business, both in sales and shop work. He has found it necessary to put on seven more mechanics in the last month, four this week. This makes a total of 26 mechanics in the service and shop departments, five salemen, four in office and two in stock department. OILMAN'S RIBS ARE BROKEN B. G. Ross, of Whittier, a worker for the Standard Oil Co., is in the hospital with several broken ribs sustained in an accident. Patients discharged from the Anaheim hospital the past few days are Charles Klos, of Costa Mesa, who was for imperative sewer extensions; $50,000 for the extension of water service to take care of the needs of residential sections, which have been subdivided during the past year, and other requirements in this direction, and $5000, for a fire pump to bring the efficiency of the Anaheim fire department up to standard. In regard to the city hall, it is to be said that the assessment rolls and other fundamental records of Anaheim are now more nearly unprotected than those of any modern city in the west. It is a matter of statistical record that, within a period of 17 years, every building in the U.S. is the subject of one fire call. The city of Orange has recently constructed a city hall that would be a credit to any municipality of four times its size. The building projected in the Anaheim bond issue will provide absolute security against fire for the city records and ample spaces for the various city departments, in line with the present growth of Anaheim, for many years. These bonds will provide a handsome municipal headquarters for the best city of its size in California and dignity and civic pride require this investment now. Concerning water extensions, the $50,000 allotted will answer the demands both of public service and fire protection. The pipes at present in use are not large enough to provide proper fire protection in the business district and at certain times of the day the full power of the pumps is barely sufficient to give a proper water supply to residents. Regular funds provided by taxation do not begin to cope with necessary extension of water service and building permits are growing in number monthly, making this expenditure doubly necessary at this time. Anaheim grows too fast to supply the choice residence sections with sewer facilities out of the general fund. The health of the city requires immediate safeguarding in this respect. In regard to the need for a fire pump to provide extra pressure during fire calls, it is said that every time the fire department turns out, the pressure on the pipes now available is so great that an undue strain is put upon every foot of water pipe in the entire city system, causing individual as well as public expense each time. The acquisition of this pump will put the pressure right on the nozzle of the fire hose where it rightly belongs. Anaheim at present enjoys supervision by an intelligent and economical staff of city officials. They are men who own considerable property and all are old and respected residents. They have brot these bond requirements before the public only after months of careful consideration. Few cities in the United States are as well off as Anaheim. The reality value of city property is greatly in excess of the indebted- CONFISCATED BOOZE IS NOT RETURNABLE LOS ANGELES, July 14.—Here is more woe for eraswhile owners of liquor.

Sawtele, who came to Los Angeles from Arizona, to assist in relieving the congested Volstead act and criminal calendars in the local federal district more woe for erstwhile owners of through a coiler of attorneys and their hopeful, thirsty clients today when he clearly indicated that he would not order liquors which prohibition enforcement officers and the police had seized in raids returned to the owners. His ruling was quite satisfactory to United States Attorney J. Robert O'Connor and Assistant Federal Attorney T. F. Green, who have been combatting the effort to release the confiscated whiskies, beers, wine and brandles. SCHUMANN-HEINK HONORED IN JAPAN TOKIO, July 14.—Honored by the presence of Princess Kittahirakawa and Princess Takeda, Madame Schumann-Heink received an ovation at the imperial theatre in Tokio, on the last night of her five-night concert series here. The theatre was packed for Madame Schumann-Heink's last concert and the stage was banked with flowers. CHORUS GIRLS ARE ALL DOG FANCIERS NEW YORK, July 14.—According to careful researchers, the doggie place in town is Broadway and One Hundred and Fourth-st. A good many girls from the Pollies, the roof gardens and the various summer revue live around there. And every one of them has a bull terrier, a chow, a spaniel or a Belgian police dog; all decorated with ribbon bows and most of them quite uncomfortable. 133 VOTES CAST UP TO NOON FOR BONDS There were 123 votes cast in the Fullerton bond election up to noon today.

William Tldball will leave Los Angeles Aug. 1 on a month's tour that will include Yellowstone National park and New York city, reporting for duty Sept. 1 at Fortress Monroe, Va. Lieut. Col. Tldball, who has been assigned to Fort McArthur as adjutant for the past two years, had served with the Eighthth division in France until 1919. His transfer orders call for his attendance at the Field Officers' Coast Artillery school and he will take his family with him. Maj. C. H. Chafin will succeed him as adjutant. COLLISION ON SO.

SEEK EUROPEAN DRIVERS FRESNO, July 14.—Fred Wagner, veteran automobileist, has been retained as official starter for the Valley Classic auto race on the Fresno Speedway Oct. 1st. Wagner writes that he is hopeful of getting a number of European speed drivers entered for Fresno and the other California tracks. The Plain Dealer for Good Printing Anaheim, Excuse each time. The acquirement of this pump will put the pressure right on the nozzle of the fire hose, where it rightly belongs. Anaheim at present enjoys supervision by an intelligent and economical staff of city officials. They are men who own considerable property and all are old and respected residents. They have brot these bond requirements before the public only after months of careful consideration. Few cities in the United States are as well off as Anaheim. The reality value of city property is greatly in excess of the indebtedness at the present time. Bond buyers regard Anaheim investment very highly as was evidenced when the park bonds brot a flattering premium, recently. For the information of many who have been inquiring, it should be stated that the new city hall will occupy the site of the present fire hall in the building which was formerly used as municipal headquarters.

Orland Cox, assistant cashier of the Merchants National bank, of Los Angeles, was introduced as a witness today after he had been brot to Santa Ana on a bench warrant after his refusal to respond to a telephone call yesterday. Cox told Superior Judge West that he had received the phone message about 11 a.m. yesterday and he had found it impossible to arrange his affair on such short notice to appear as a witness. Judge West seemed to be satisfied with the explanation. Dr. Lester Keller, president of the Yorba Linda bank, was the principal witness. He told of meeting the defendant and his three associates, T. T. Franklin, a man named Nelson and another named Johnson, April 15, last. These men, according to Keller, represented themselves as oil promoters and prospectors. The defendant, Wignall, was introduced as a "geologist." Franklin, Keller said, was the ringleader of the quartette, having represented himself as the "capitalist." "These men appeared to be keenly interested in securing an option on an oil lease which I held," said Dr. Keller. "They sent 'Sharkey,' the defendant here out to examine the oil property and he pronounced it to be a good prospect." Franklin then negotiated for the option." According to Dr. Keller, Franklin told him he did not want to turn over his own money for the option. He said he would get the money thru a draft on a San Francisco bank in which the syndicate he represented kept an account. The following day, according to Dr. Keller, Franklin gave him a check for $1,000 drawn on a San Francisco bank. Five hundred dollars of this was applied to the option on the oil lease and the remainder was credited to Franklin's account in the Yorba Linda bank.
