SANTA ANA WOMAN DIES FROM INJURIES WHEN HIT BY AUTO
Mrs. Martha A. Mathews, 54, Struck by Car Driven by Clarence Maag of Orange
The Orange-co friends of Mrs. Martha A. Mathews, 54, of Santa Ana, were shocked today when they learned of her death at 10:30 last night in the Santa Ana Community hospital as the result of injuries sustained when she was run down by an auto driven by Clarence Maag, of Fairhaven-ave, Orange.
The accident occurred about 8 p.m. when Mrs. Mathews was crossing the intersection of Grand-ave and Fifth-st., Santa Ana.
She suffered a fracture of the skull.
The progressives, who apparently were in a state of lethargy yesterday morning, began to turn out in the afternoon despite the hot weather to cast their vote for a greater Anaheim. The opposers of the measures were in a state of lethargy all day. About 600 votes were polled. More than 500 were cast for each issue.
Malcom A. Fraser, secretary of the C. of C., sat at his telephone throut yesterday reminding voters there was an election and that they should make haste and get their finger in the pie, or rather their name on the ballot, and for those whom the ting-a-ling-ting of the telephone would not awaken, Tom Wilkinson, in his motor car, and the old fire bell attached to a trailer behind, honked about town awakening the political sleepers to the realization that they were needed at the front by the tong-tong of the great bell.

The Orange-co friends of Mrs. Martha A. Mathews, 54, of Santa Ana, were shocked today when they learned of her death at 10:30 last night in the Santa Ana Community hospital as the result of injuries sustained when she was run down by an auto driven by Clarence Maag, of Fairhaven-aye, Orange.
The accident occurred about 8 p.m. when Mrs. Mathews was crossing the intersection of Grand-ave and 6th-st, Santa Ana.
She suffered a fracture of the skull and of both arms. She was removed to the hospital by Maag and Nick V. Broeck, who was with him and who understood to be owner of the auto.
Maag and Broeck stated today that they did not see Mrs. Mathews. They denied they were speeding.
Coroner Chas D. Brown stated an inquiry would probably be held on Thursday afternoon at the Smith and Tuthill undertaking parlors, Santa Ana, where the body was taken. Funeral arrangements had not been determined today.
Mrs. Mathews leaves her husband, retired business man and resident of Santa Ann 27 years, and a daughter, Mrs. M. A. Brockett, of Costa Mesa.

Mrs. Lundberg is accused of shooting Lee F. Worden in an automobile there was an election and that they should make haste and get their finger in the pie, or rather their name on the ballot, and for those whom the ting-a-ling-ting of the telephone would not awaken, Tom Wilkinson, in his motor car, and the old fire bell attached to a trailer behind, honked about town awakening the political sleepers to the realization that they were needed at the front by the tong-tong of the great bell. Wilkinson rang the bell with reduced energy when it was announced last night that the bonds had carried. Other progressives celebrated by turning loose fireworks such as have not been witnessed in Anaheim since July 4.
The results were as follows:
Yes No Total
New city hall... 501 61 562
Water works ... 539 35 574
Sewer System ... 530 41 571
New fire pump 538 32 570
There were two voting precincts in the city, the citizens residing south of Center-st casting their ballots at the old city hall, and those residing north at the Pacific Implement Co. on No. Los Angeles-st.
The result at the old city hall polls was as follows: new city hall, 253 yes, 36 no; municipal water works, 282 yes, 18 no; improved sewer system, 274 yes, 23 no; new fire pump, 276 yes, 19 no.

ENG. PLANS INVASION SHOULD PARLEY FAIL
LONDON, July 20.—With the Irish peace negotiation quivering in the balance today, it was learned authoritatively that failure of the conferences will be followed by military repression in Ireland.
If the present effort toward peace is unsuccessful every power of the government will be exerted to utterly crush the Sinn Fein. High officials stated that plans have been prepared that will virtually turn Ireland into a vast military prison, crushing the country's economic life and putting a tag on every Irish citizen.
The danger that the plans may become operative was shown in the attitude of the various conferences today, Premier Craig of Ulster was back in Belfast, with General Smuts on his trail, apparently in an effort to arrange his participation in some way in further negotiations.
JAPANESE DRIVEN AWAY FROM TURLOCK
MODESTO, Cal., July 20.—Aroused by failure of the Turlock C. of C. to sanction a boygott against the Japanese, raiding parties at midnight loaded all the Japanese in Turlock onto trucks and drove them out of town.
The Japanese were taken to Keyes, an isolated station, where they were loaded onto a northbound train.
The Turlock men were angered by the fact that Orientals, working at lower wages, had forced whites out of jobs as fruit workers. The boycott would have been directed at all producers who employed Japanese labor.

Rain Today in Anaheim, Calif. — In July, Too
Anaheim and Orange co today "enjoyed" some old-fashioned back east summer weather.
The day dawned close and muggy, like good old Iowa corn weather, and then, by George, if it didn't rain—in July in Orange co.
That is, it sprinkled some and folks got the dust off their umbrellas. It was unusual weather, like we had during the orange show.
Rain gauges didn't get their whistles wet.

This committee is G. M. Lorraine, city manager of Alhambra; J. H. Macklin, Huntington Beach; F. W. Faulkner, Huntington Beach.
Rutan gave the opinion that the proper procedure would be to seek a writ of mandamus compelling the present directors to call an election of directors. In effect, this would result in the desired change of management by a majority vote of the issued stock, instead of two-thirds as at first considered.
A fund of $250 was raised to detray legal and advertising expenses.

BLACK SOX DEFENSE DRIVE IS UNDERWAY
CHICAGO, July 20.—Black Sox defense, like a pack of angry wolves, sprung at the throat of Bill Burns, confessed rengage, today.
Pent up wrath for the former big leaguer who admits he delivered the 1919 world series to "sure thing" gamblers, caused the seven former White Sox stars charged with being Burns' co-conspirators to exert every effort to legally "get" the squealer during the cross examination.
Black Sox attorneys started cross examining Burns, when the state's direct examination was completed.
They realize that unless they chatter the damning evidence prolitation committee be elected. This committee is G. M. Lorraine, city manager of Alhambra; J. H. Macklin, Huntington Beach; F. W. Faulkner, Huntington Beach.
Rutan gave the opinion that the proper procedure would be to seek a writ of mandamus compelling the present directors to call an election of directors. In effect, this would result in the desired change of management by a majority vote of the issued stock, instead of two-thirds as at first considered.
A fund of $250 was raised to defray legal and advertising expenses. About half of this was given by Macklin, the rest by passing the hat. The 200-present last night held 552,000 shares. About 3,000,000 have been issued.
Attorney Sprague for the company, and a heavy stockholder, while careful in his statements, left the impression that he was in sympathy with the stockholders' protest and that Rutan was proceeding in the right direction. Rutan stated he had interviewed the Woodwards, who are managing the affairs of the company at their Los Angeles office. While he found them courteous, they stated there would be no compromise from their present policies.
A temporary stockholders' organization was affected by the election of H. H. Selway, chairman; Attorney Tarver Montgomery, secretary; Eugene Robinson, treasurer.

The board has opened headquarters at Central school-bldg and conferences were started there at 10 a.m. today. Today was spent largely by the arbitrals in getting their bearings and studying the contract, charges of defects, etc.

HARD DRILLING IN TWO TEST WELLS
Considerable excitement prevailed at Garden Grove over a report that the Standard Oil Co. test well there had dropped into a bed of oil. The extent of the oil, if any, could not be determined from Standard Oil Co. attaches. The well is down about 2800 feet and the drilling has been in a very hard formation.
The Petroleum Midway well at Anahole and Buena Park-rds is also in hard couplomorate, but two or three feet being made at a tower. The hole is down about 2500 feet. The drillers believe that when the present difficult strata is penetrated something worthwhile will be uncovered. A 20 or 25-barrel well could have been brot in at the 2450-foot depth when a shallow oil sand with gas was found.
LOVE SPARK IS FANNED TO LIFE
LOS ANGELES, July 20—Mrs. Anna Young and Raymond Young that they wanted to separate. They had separated six times before, according to testimony before Judge Summerfield in superior court yesterday.

"Are you willing to take your wife back?" the judge asked the husband.
Yes.
"Why don't you return to your husband?" he then asked the wife.
"I want to," she replied.
Business of striking the case from the calendar as the reunited couple walked out of the court room together.

SUICIDE ENDS $100 SPREE
LOS ANGELES, July 20.—A certificate of suicide probably will be signed today by Coroner Nance in the case of Eugene Thygerson, young grocery salesman, who shot and killed himself in his room at 434 Crocker-st, before the gaze of two friends who stood ten feet away pleading with him to give up his suicide plan.
Detectives say the young man received a $100 bonus, over indulged in liquor, got arrested for speeding and then decided to end his melancholia with a bullet thru the acart.

H. T. & K. SYNDICATE DRILLING IN SAND
San Joaquin Hills
The H. T. and K. Syndicate is now drilling in the oil sand at 2700 feet and the well is looking the best it has ever looked.
The Laguna Oil Assn. continues to make excellent progress. Early in the weeks reports gave the depth at 2400 and digging in shale.
A correction is offered on the Nu Santa Oil Co.'s work. Last week a report had it that the well was showing some water. The fact of the matter is that there has been no water encountered since 625 feet. At the present depth of 1625 the drilling is in sandy shale and the formation is carrying considerable gas.
The Wirscher and Gray Oil Co. resumed work with cable tools at 1805. It is understood that no trouble arose in shutting off the water. Wirscher and Gray No. 2 has been located and work is scheduled to commence at an early date.
CAUTION TO HOLDUPS
LOS ANGELES, July 20.—Robbers who accept drinks from the men they hold up, should be careful not to remove their masks.
John Roblinette, on trial before Judge Avery today on a highway robbery charge, was recognized by his victim in this manner. Charles A. Combe, the victim of the robbery, said that he offered the holdup man a drink, and that when his treat was accepted, the bandit raised his mask.
By this means, Combe declares, he identified Roblinette as the man who held him up.
WARNING! DON'T BUY CITY HALL!
LOS ANGELES, July 20.—Four automobiles which were not theirs, and a business which did not exist, was sold to three persons by C. B. Tibbetts and Harvey Libby, according to testimony against them in superior court today.

Hawthorne-Inglewood
On the Hicks property at Inglewood the Kitselman interests have reached a depth of 3200 feet. At this depth the formation is a hard gray sand, a formation that does not offer much encouragement to the wildcatter. At Playa Del Rey Kitselman has installed cable tools and is about ready to resume drilling.
The Standard Oil Co. Bohon No. 1 is now making hole at 3600 feet in formation that is not showing any encouragement.
At 2900 feet the Petroleum Development Co. struck a tar sand. Drilling ahead to 3025 the formation appeared good enough to warrant coming back and setting a string of 10 inch at 3900 ft.
In rather hard digging the Union Oil Co. is making good progress at drilling in the hard shale and shell at 3400 feet. As yet no indications of any consequence have been reported.
SAN FERNANDO FIELD
The Active Oil Co. backed by a number of Los Angeles newspapers men is held up with a fishing job at 2100 feet, a second string of tools being lost in the hole.
The Beatty Oil Co. Eagle Rock well is drilling in the hard sand at 2265 and to date has not shown any oil indications.

ANAHEIM MEXICAN SCHOOL SITE FOUND ON NORTH PALM-ST
Trustees Will Finish Building In Time for Use in Fall Term
Anaheim grammar school trustees last night affected a lease arrangement with Fullerton city trustees on a corner of the Fullerton water works site at No. Palm-st and State Highway for a Mexican school building location. The lease runs for ten years at $50 per year. The location is about the size of four city lots affording ample playground space.
This arrangement is considered as most opportune as all efforts to purchase outright a school site in the northside of the city was met by what the school trustees considered exhorbitant prices.
The school board will proceed immediately with construction and unless unforeseen obstacles occur the school will be used this fall with Miss Vincente Doyle, for two years an Anaheim teacher, in the role of principal. The funds are available for the building.
L. A. Woman Suffers Possible Fracture of Skull in Santa Ana Accident
Mrs. L. B. Daby, of St. Maxonpts, Burlington and Orange-sts, Los Angeles, was in the Santa Ana Community hospital today with possible fracture of the skull, bruises and other injuries, as the result of a collision between the Ford roadster in which she was riding and a Mack truck driven by A. C. Wright, of So. Raymond-st, Fullerton. The Ford was driven by J. R. Leffy, of the Alvarado hotel, Los Angeles, and is owned by W. S. Harland, of Los Angeles. Leffy was unhurt. The accident occurred at 5 p.m. yesterday at the corner of 21st-st and Grand-ave, Santa Ana.
One of the first on the scene of the accident was Robert White, Boy Scout, who was driving the car of his father, Everett White, Santa Ana businessman. At the boy's suggestion the injured woman was placed in his car and removed to the hospital. It was stated today she had a chance for recovery.
BIXBY SYNDICATE IS CLOSE TO 4200 Bixby Hills
Drilling on the Bixby Ranch Syndicate well is now close to 4200 feet where the formation consists mainly of blue shale. The drilling is going very good. It is the intention now to go deep and make a satisfactory test well.
At Chino No. 1 the National Exploration Co. is playing in the hard luck. Drilled to 1300 feet, pipe and mechanical trouble resulted in the loss of almost a thousand feet of hole. Redrilling is now at 400 feet. Olinda No. 1 is testing for water at 2670 in the 10 inch. Conditions appear favorable for a shut off.
The National Security Oil Co. has drilled out the cement at 2135 and got a shut off on the water and is now going ahead at 2175.
The New York-California Oil Co. No. 1 is standing idle. It is understood that the company is awaiting advice from New York. There is no intention to abandon the property and quit the field.
The Olive Petroleum Co. is drilling at 3425 and not making the progress expected. Some hard digging and close watch of the formation being the accounting fators.
The Orange County Petroleum Co. is drilling at about 1650. The formation is hard sand and requires considerable reaming to carry the pipe.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
This arrangement is considered as most opportune as all efforts to purchase outright a school site in the northside of the city was met by what the school trustees considered exhorbitant prices.
The school board will proceed immediately with construction and unless unforeseen obstacles occur the school will be used this fall with Miss Vincente Doyle, for two years an Anaheim teacher, in the role of principal. The funds are available for the building.
There will probably be two buildings, with a total of three or four class rooms. An important feature will be the opportunity affording older Mexicans to make use of the buildings as a community center for meetings of various kinds.
There were about 150 Mexican children enrolled in Anaheim schools last year, but the average attendance was only about half that. Supt. C. C. Smith announces that attendance is to be enforced rigidly with truancy officer when the new buildings are in use.
It is believed that with the new buildings, Anaheim schools will be taking care of Mexican children as well or better than any other city in the county.
NEW BOOKLETS FOR COUNTY LOOK GOOD
Wm. Schumacher, supervisor for the Third district, left a small preliminary supply of the new booklets of Orange county at the C. of yesterday. This work is fully worthy of the great subject it attempts to portray to the general public and is a fine specimen of typography and illustrations. The M. E.
