City council last night adopted a resolution making Anaheim a member of the recently created division of the Cal. League of Municipalities on hydro-electric power sites. The council voted $101 for membership.
A commission of two members is to look over the available power sites and report to cities in the league for filling on them should they desire.
Under the new legislation, several cities may combine to develop hydroelectricity for municipal purposes.
Local officials believe there are power sites still available in the San Diego headwaters which, if developed, would solve Anaheim's electrical problems for all time.
The city is not obligated to pay out more than the appropriation made last night unless developments are considered to warrant it. Nothing will be done by the commission unless cities aggregating 100,000 population are interested.
AMERICAN C. OF C. MAN SPEAKS HERE
The regular weekly meeting of the C.C. directors was held at noon today.
One of the principal features was an address by E. J. Des Moineaux, representative from Washington of the U.S.C. of C., of which the local association has now become a member.
He spoke on cooperation between the U.S.C. of C. and local bodies. The membership was taken out some time ago, but it was formally closed today. This gives the local association a national importance in that it gives it a voice in the national association, and it gives the local membership a chance to know what the U.S.C. of C. do.
An clock tonight is the last moment for voting in the primary for the election of a Board of Directors of the Anaheim of C. Every member is urged to get his vote in before that time. It is the earnest desire of all the officials that a full 100 per vote be cast if possible. An extraordinary effort has been made to give every member the opportunity to vote.
The votes will be counted tonight under the direction of J. A. Clayes, chairman of the committee on elections, and his 20 assistants. The count will start about 8:00 o'clock. Any member interested is cordially invited to be present at the rooms of the chamber and watch proceedings.
Tomorrow morning the final ballots will be mailed to all members. The polls for the final will close next Tuesday at 6 p.m.
When ballots are delivered at the rooms of the chamber, they are dropped into a ballot box in the seal-ended envelope until your information the items that in my opinion should not be allowed by your board and as a taxpayer to file my objections to the same.
"The budget calls for the appointment of a third librarian at an expense to the taxpayers of $720 for the first year. This expense will be increased each year as the librarian increases in efficiency."
"This third assistant is required for the purpose of keeping the library open 12 hours instead of seven as heretofore, and to lighten the work of the present two librarians, so we are informed by Miss Callion, yet this lady is not so fatigued with her duties in the library as to prevent her from holding a position as bookkeeper with a city firm and drawing a second salary. This request for a third librarian was made a year ago and was rejected by the board, the board being of the opinion that the present hours of the library accommodated all classes of its patrons; that it would be an expense upon the taxpayers that was not necessary and that the duties of the two librarians were not at all onerous."
"The budget provided for an increase of salary of $120 for each of the first and second librarians. These increases were also asked last year, but only allowed in small part, and by dispensing with the purchases of some minor articles. If last year the board did not feel themselves warranted in granting this increase when the cost of living was much higher than now, why should this increase be granted now, when prewar salaries are being reduced and accepted by employees on every hand?"
"This increase if allowed will bring the first librarian's salary to $1560, or more than your board formerly appropriated for the entire expense of the library only a few years ago."
"The budget also increases the salary of the janitor from $60 to $70 per month. When the present janitor was engaged last year it was with the distinct understanding that $60 per month would be the maximum salary he might expect to receive, when it is considered that this man works for the library only one half day each work day and the board contemplates installing a sprinkling system on the lawn, which will materially reduce his labor. I am of the opinion that his present compensation is sufficient for the hours and labor he gives."
"In the item of new furniture, $900 is asked against $600 last year; there are some articles enumerated that can be dispensed with for another year or two and the amount for furniture fixed at the same as last year without impairing the usefulness of the library."
"For varnishing and tinting $223 (estimated cost), is asked. In my opinion this expense can also be postponed another year or two."
"In conclusion I would respectfully recommend that instead of appropriating $8113, as asked for in the prior hortillites was today when fire broke in several quarters of Belmonts are known to be believed that the failure than this, as it is we were secretly removing areas."

MUSTN'T VIOLATE NEWLY OILED STS.
City Manager O. E. Steward, with blood in his eye, this morning issued a warning to those who take down the barriers and drive over freshly oiled streets. It spoils the street, gums up the sidewalks and aggravates the city manager.
"Arrests will follow, if the ordinance is violated," declared the city manager. "Even if it seems apparently necessary to drive thru the oil to reach a garage, it can't be done."
AUTOS DEMOLISHED IN MYSTERY CRASH
LOS ANGELES, July 15. — Two mystery auto accidents, in which a number of persons are believed to have been injured were reported to the sheriff's office this morning by patrolman Harkins of Culver City, who told deputy sheriffs he had found two badly damaged automobiles near that city.
Wreckage of a rent car was strewn for half a mile along the right of way of the P. E. railroad near Jassamine ave and Venice-Bldg, the Palms, according to Harkins' report. The second car, said to have been an expensive auto, was found damaged at Palms-ave and Venice-bldg.

PEACE BROKEN BY BELFAST CLASHES
LONDON, July 15—The lull in Ulster hostilities was suddenly broken today when fire broke out in several quarters of Belfast. Three persons are known to be dead, but it is believed that the fatalities were greater than this, as it is likely that bodies were secretly removed from the fighting areas.
Sixteen Sinn Feiners who had been convicted of treason and felonious crimes in Manchester today were sentenced to from 3 to 15 years. A crowd in the courtroom made a demonstration in favor of the prisoners and the galleries were cleared.

City council last night signed the contract with Wm. D. Cook Jr., and Geo. D. Hall, Los Angeles landscape architects, for the drawing of plans on the new 20-acre park on North Lemon-st. The provisions follow:
First—Preliminary sketches showing possible solution of the problem based on a program of what is desired by the trustees for their consideration and approval in order that the architects may then proceed with the preliminary plan.

Council Goes on Record Last Night to Place It There If the Board Next Tuesday
Any new city hall will be erased present old municipal building record to this effect last night.
This action was taken to entirely reassure any voter inclined to question this point at the election next Tuesday, July 19, when the city will determine the issue of $160,000 bonds, $75,000 of which would go for a new city hall building. This means, of course, that the old building would be razed.

Boxing fans who want to see action—and who are (here that don't—are reasonably certain to get their money's worth tonight at Sparken' ranch when the Anaheim Athletic club, in their regular weekly program, will put up Bert Triby, of Santa Barbara, against Ray Nell, of Santa Ana, in the main event.
That action is to be afforded the fans may be gleaned from the fact that Triby has knocked out the last ten men who have faced him. Two weeks ago Triby got a K. O. from Neal at Delhi. They meet at 160 pounds.
The semi-windup will be between Solly Truillia, of Homet, and Young Cumpston, Los Angeles, at 133 lbs.

MYSTERY DRIVERS BLAMED IN CRASH
Santa Ana authorities today were seeking to learn the name of the driver of a Grant six touring car, who drove his machine into a car owned by E. M. Borden, 360 West Eleventh-st., Riverside, while Borden's machine was parked in front of 506 S. Sycamore-st., Santa Ana.

PAGEANT RIVAL OF PASADENA PARADE
LOS ANGELES, July 15. The rarest floral beauties of the world's garden spot dazzled the eyes of nearly 200-000 So.Cal. and visiting Elks today in the allegorical pageant that was culminating event of the great Elks festival here.
Preceded by the parade of massed bands, in which more than 1500 musicians participated, the flower ladens floats passed through the narrow lanes of humanity that thronged the downtown section; still remembering the prodigal beauty of the electrical display last night.
The crowds that came from all over the Southland to see the marching Elks yesterday were back again this morning for the floral parade which rivaled the utmost efforts of the far-flung tournament of roses.
Nature was rified of her most fragrant treasures throughout So.Cal. for the event today. Their matchless beauty and the artistry of design and decoration in the floats was almost beyond the conception of the guests who came near and far to be the guests of Los Angeles this week.
The kindly sun that beamed down on the marchers yesterday was back again today with the fairest of Los Angeles weather. Never before have the wonders and glories of California been more charmingly displayed.
Today's festivities were started with a mighty overture from the assembled bands.

PLUMBING PRICES DROP, THEN JUMP
Prices on plumbing material hit the tobaggan and rebounded within four days, according to H. F. Garrison, local plumber.
Prices dropped from 25 to 30 per cent. The slash was due to a war among jobbers on the Pacific coast, and it was purely a local fight. The manufacturers were not concerned.
It is said the rebound came as suddenly as the slash. The jobbers patched up their differences.
The lower prices were reflected in bills for plumbing work opened last week, according to Garrison.
Lumber prices have not dropped, although rumor and gossip have had such reports in hand this week.
JURY ACQUITS MAN OF FIRING EGGS AT NEGRO ENTERTAINER
P. E. Conductor Freed of Charge of "Busting Up Medicine Show" at Orange

The trial yesterday afternoon was attended by about 400 people.
According to the testimony, Adams bot some medicine from Dr. Barry early last week. Thursday of last week he brot the "dope" back to the doctor, demanding his money back as it didn't come up to his expectations. Barry refused to come across.
That night, while the show was in progress, the negro entertainer was entertained with a shower of eggs, two or three of them not as fresh

Purauant to a decision reached at Santa Ana this morning at a meeting of women representatives from every farm center in the county, formal application for a home department in the county farm bureau was presented the directors of that organization in Santa Ana this afternoon.
That the directors would act favorably seemed assured. The request was presented by a committee named this morning, the personnel being Mrs. Julia Saunby, Mrs. Alvin Block and Mrs. Leona Schofield.
Miss Lillian Black, demonstration leader of the state university, outlined the manner in which the home department would function. Following this morning's meeting all adjourned for luncheon at Birch park.
HUNT FOR DENTIST, AUTO DEATH SUSPECT
HOSEBURG, Ore., July 15.—Mystery today still surrounds the finding of the charred, decapitated body under an automobile near Dillard, on the Pacific highway, late yesterday. The search for Dr. Brumfield, missing dentist, for whom a warrant has been issued on a charge of murder, continued unabated last night, but with prices dropped from 25 to 30 per cent. The slash was due to a war among jobbers on the Pacific coast, and it was purely a local fight. The manufacturers were not concerned.
It is said the rebound came as suddenly as the slash. The jobbers patch-ed up their differences.
The lower prices were reflected in bids for plumbing work opened last week, according to Garrison.
Lumber prices have not dropped, altho-rumor and gossip have had such reports in hand this week.
Whether there will be a decline will depend largely upon the attitude of the manufacturers with reference to shipments, in the opinion of men who profess to keep in touch with the situation.
Lumber stocks have been running low since the strike. Chapman states that it would be impossible now to meet the normal demand for the material.
Representatives of manufacturers say boats are again moving and that lumber would be en route to ports in a very short time—in fact, three boats were scheduled to leave northern coast ports yesterday, according to representatives.
Resumption of shipping by boats will relieve a situation that has been growing embarrassing. Stocks have been running low and there is indication of advancing prices, and they may or may not come anyway.
The mills are not oversocked with lumber and there is no great surplus.
WIGNALL APPLIES FOR PROBATION
Wm. Wignall, convicted by a jury yesterday of criminal conspiracy with intent to defraud the First National bank of Yorba Linda, out of $300, today waived time for pronouncement of sentence and applied for probation.

Wignall had been out of San Quentin, where he served two of a three years' sentence for obtaining money under false pretenses, only a month when with three confederates he is charged with fleecing the Yorba Linda bank.

ROSEBURG, Ore., July 15—Mystery today still surrounds the finding of the charred, decapitated body under an automobile near Dillard, on the Pacific highway, late yesterday. The search for Dr. Brumfield, missing dentist, for whom a warrant has been issued on a charge of murder, continued unabated last night, but without result.
The automobile belonged to Dr. Brumfield. Many of the effects strewn about the place where the car was found were indicted as belonging to the dentist, but the body under the car, charred by gasoline fames with the head gone, was identified as that of Dennis Russell, a laborer living near here, with whom Dr. Brumfield was seen a few hours before the burning car was discovered.
