May Decide to Wreck Old City Hall by Day Labor Instead of by Contract
City council last night entered into discussions of a nature that must be of vivid interest to a large majority of people, judging from the way they voted last week. Their conversations dwelt along such entertaining lines as when the work of tearing down the old building might started, etc.
It was decided to notify tenants to prepared to vacate by Sept. 1 with understanding they might remain a little longer if the council was not ready by that time to start razing the building. The council discussed but did not decide whether to do the wrecking under the direction of City Manager O. E. Steward or to let it by contrast, Councilman Backs expressed the opinion that it would be more economical for the city to wreck the building itself, with labor somewhat cheaper. He said the sugar factory could now obtain ample help at 25c an hour for 12-hour day.
“If we let it to a contractor he would want to make a profit on each man working for him,” said Backs.
No decision was arrived at for the location of notice quarters, tho the fire truck will go to the powerhouse in the interim of building operations.
City Marshal Stephen stated he guessed the department could find a little office somewhere that would be satisfactory for temporary quarters. It was suggested that since the jail cells were to be left for the new building, he might move into them.
“Yes, we could do that,” said the marshal. “We don’t have any other use for them any more.”
The council canvassed the vote and read the election ordinance. The bond ordinance will be presented the first meeting next month, Aug. 11.
City Atty Ames opined it would be three months or more before the bond money would be forthcoming. He said he had been approached by a bond broker yesterday with an offer of $700 premium at private sale, the broker explaining that the municipal bond market is slow at present, and that the call for bids might not bring such a premium. The council decided to proceed in the usual form and advertise for bidders.
It was tentatively agreed to extend the $75,000 city hall bonds for 30 years, $5000 fire truck bonds five years, $30,000 sewer bonds 30 years and $40,000 water bonds 40 years.
The matter of selecting an architect was not discussed in the formal session of the council.
It was stated that Samuel Kraemer, who is constructing a $100,000 office building from the city hall site to the Southland apts, is anxious that the council build the new city hall out to the building line so that a repetition of the Dreyfus-bidg will be avoided.
PURDUE PRESIDENT
PRESIDENT OUTLINES PLAN TO PAY R. Rs.
WASHINGTON, July 26. — In his message to congress today President Harding made the following points regarding the railroad situation and the relief required:
I believe it essential to have railroad activities and essential to the country’s good fortune to hasten both bonding and a settlement of all pending questions.
Quite apart from the large sums owing to the government which are morally and legally bound to fund, the government admittedly owes the railroad companies large sums on those accounts, such as compensation, depreciation and maintenance.
The policy of the railroad administration already has been effective in finally settling the accounts of roads filling claims amounting to $225,568,764, resulting in the payment to them of $68,141,122.
The way now would seem to be clear to very early adjustment and relief, except for the fact that the railway administration, too possessing assets, does not command the funds necessary to meet with its admitted obligations. There is no thot to ask congress for additional funds, perhaps $500,000,000 will be necessary.
You are asked to extend the authority of the war finance corporation so that it may purchase these railway funding securities accepted by the director general of railways. No added expense, no added investment is required on the part of the government; there is no added liability, no added tax burden. It merely the grant of authority necessary to enable a most useful and efficient government agency to use its available funds to purchase securities for which congress has authorized the issue and turn them into the channels of finance ready to float them.
I can readily believe that so simple a remedy will have your prompt sanction. The question of our obligation cannot be raised, the wisdom of affording early relief is not to be doubted and the avoidance of added appropriation or liability will appeal to congress an the public.

Something Radically Wrong
Supplementing the action already taken by the San chants' & Manufacturers' Assn., and the Santa Ana Real Orange-co Auto Trades Assn., has gone on record as our establishment of a new daily newspaper in Santa Ana, bait for circulation for the Los Angeles Express in the and in its tributary territory.
There must be something radically wrong with proposition which meets with such strenuous and almost opposition on the part of the business men of the which it is proposed to establish a new paper.
Not only the business men of Santa Ana, but public perprising, intelligent citizens generally are opposed to paper proposition of F. W. Kellogg of the Los Angeles broad civic grounds; and the business men themselves their opposition entirely upon economic grounds, restricly mercantile interest. In talking with business men generally the thot is expressed that cities like Anahe Ana and the other cities and towns of Orange-co are handicapped by geographical location with respect to a bittous metropolitan city like Los Angeles without local newspapers and civic life generally to be another ropolitan newspapers. They recognize the fact that local newspapers of large general circulation in the communities, it is almost impossible to maintain the o local loyalty necessary for continued community prosperity.

LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY
Anaheim, California, Tuesday, July 26, 1921
FRISCO LABOR SPLIT ON GENERAL STRIKE
SAN FRANCISCO, July 26. — A threat of a general strike was the club which at least a portion of the San Francisco labor movement was shaking in the face of employees today.
With it as their weapon it was hoped to crush the "American plan" movement launched in the building trades. Labor men declared the "American plan" is the "open shop" with a new dress.
Employers did not profess to attach great importance to the general strike movement.
The strike sentiment within the ranks of labor was a bit indefinite. Some leaders openly opposed it. Others were vehement in its advocacy.
COUNTY WILL HELP CRIPPLED CHILDREN
County supervisors will hold a hearing at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Santa Ana on needs of indigent children in Orange-co for orthopedic attention. Dr. Zalser, superintendent of the county hospital, and Mrs. Leebrick, secretary of the Social Service league and assistant county aid commissioner, will speak.
The hearing was set when Drs. Utter, Brastad and Cole appeared before the board and requested information on the attitude of the officials. The doctors were assured that if there were Orange-co children in need of such assistance the county was rich enough to provide it.
The C. of C. after a hearing of several physicians not connected with the clinic here last night decided to drop the proposed $10,000 campaign as first planned.

The attitude of the state high controversy with the Auto Club of It was agreed to form a committee with a tentative agree $2000 from each county treasury.
These are the outstanding acts of supervisors of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino-cos at a joint meeting held yesterday afternoon in Riverside.
The meeting was called for two purposes:
1—The consideration of the passage of a uniform truck control ordinance.
2—For the reaching of an agreement for Santa Ana river flood control activities by the three counties.
Each object was accomplished, and the meeting wound up with a declaration of attitude toward the attack that has been made on the state highway commission by the Auto Club of So. Cal. in company with the Cal. Auto Club which was taken on the suspension.
The hearing was set when Drs. Utter, Brastad and Cole appeared before the board and requested information on the attitude of the officials. The doctors were assured that if there were Orange-co children in need of such assistance the county was rich enough to provide it.
The C. of C. after a hearing of several physicians not connected with the clinic here last night decided to drop the proposed $10,000 campaign as first planned.
PASTOR'S AUTO HIT; SALT DRY CLEANED
For transposing liquor in violation of a county ordinance, S. W. Callaway, of the Naval Aviation corps, stationed at San Diego, paid a fine of $50, assessed by Justice of the Peace Cox.
Callaway was arrested by Motorcycle Officer Frank Stewart following an accident on the state highway near Tustin. His car collided with a machine driven by the Rev. F. T. Porter, pastor of the Santa Ana First Christian church. Both cars were slightly damaged and the Rev. Mr. Porter received a cut on one hand.
Callaway admitted in court that he had 10 gallons of wine in his car. Had it not been for the fact that one demifohn was broken in the accident he might have escaped arrest. The tell-tale wine leaked out of the car and soaked the highway.
'GET ME' CHALLENGES ILLINOIS GOVERNOR
SPRINGFIELD, Ill., July 26. — "Come and get me."
This, in substance, was the defl of Governor Len Small today when he was informed that Judge E. S. Smith had denied him immunity from state criminal procedure.
Tell my attorneys not to attempt to delay the order of the court issuing warrants for my arrest," said the governor.
The governor reached the capitol without a body guard. He was accompanied by his son, Leslie Small, and Senator John A. Wheeler of Springfield. He appeared unconcerned about the case.

Abrams's assistance was sought by M. Aburren, who is seeking to prove he is not the father of his wife's child. Judge Frank J. Murasky, before whom the case is being tried, declared he knew nothing of Abram's test and ordered that proof of its value be submitted to him.
TRY L. B. FIREMAN IN ORANGE COUNTY
Horace Box, Long Beach fireman, who yesterday was given a preliminary hearing in the justice court at Long Beach and bound over to the superior court on charges of highway robbery and kidnapping in connection with an assault on Miss Luille Umphries, Long Beach H. S. graduate, will in all probability be tried in the Orange-co. courts on a statutory charge preferred by the young woman.
V. A. Pearl, a private detective of Long Beach, in Santa Ana swore to a complaint today, charging Box with a statutory offense. He took this action so that Box could be prosecuted on the more serious charge, the assault charge having been dismissed in Los Angeles-co, because the crime was alleged to have been committed at Seal Beach, Orange-co.
FEARS BURGLARY AS KEYS ARE STOLEN
A. Schiff, Santa Ana, second-hand furniture dealer, notified the police department that the keys to his store and to his automobile and tire lock, were stolen this morning.

While he was busy waiting on the customer the keys disappeared from the door. Schiff now fears that his place will be robbed, inasmuch as the person who has his keys would find it an easy matter to gain entrance to his shop.

BOYS BLAMED FOR THEFT OF DYNAMITE
Harvey Garber, proprietor of Garber's brick yard, Santa Ana, reported representing the school board, as clerk. Mrs. Gladys Bollman is stenograhger.
"We are getting along very well and absolutely harmoniously today," declared Mr. Briscoe. "We are making a thoro investigation and it will probably be several days before we can announce our findings."
THE AUTO Club wants to tell the highway commission what to do," said Flaherty.
"The club wants to spend all available funds in building very heavy highways and let the rest of the highways take care of themselves. The Auto Club plan means that entire available funds would go to building heavy pavement between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The highway commission has faced the problems and is doing its very best to live up to its pledges to the people of Cal. who voted this money.
"If the highway commission took the program laid down by the Auto Club a rank injustice would be done to the people of the state," concluded Flaherty.
"The highway commission ought to be commended highly for the stand it has taken in the face of unfair tactics and criticism by the Auto Clubs," said Sueprvisor Wassum of Tustin.
A motion was carried unanimously approving the attitude of the highway commission. Some of the supervisors also wanted to go on record as condemning the attitude of the auto clubs. However, the motion went thru with the commendation of the highway commission which, as was pointed out, carried its own message as to the opinion of the supervisors concerning the Auto Club. Present at the conference yesterday were Supervisors Wm. Schumacher, S. H. Finley and H. A. Wasum of this county; A. G. Kendall, San Bernardino, M. C. Cheney, Colton, Geo. Biggin, Redlands, C. F. Crane, Victorville, and C. E. Grier, Uplands, of San Bernardino-co; C. D. Hamilton, Banning, J. L. Davis, Corona, G. F. Flaherty, Riverside, J. A. Packard, of Riverside-co; Dist. Atty Nelson, Orange-co; Dist. Attn. L.C. Kelley, Riverside-co.
Supervisor Hamilton opened the discussion on truck damage to roads." When a gun was found to penetrate the best armor plate," he said," arm or plate manufacturers made a plate that the gun could not penetrate. Gun makers built better guns and penetrated the new plate. Heavier arm was built and that called for better guns. And so we go with roads. If we build eight-inch roads the truckmakers will build heavier trucks — just as heavy as we have roads for them to smash. The state has control...
PARENTAGE BLOOD TEST IN S. F. COURT
SAN FRANCISCO, July 26—Dr. Albert Abrams, San Francisco physician who claims he can establish parentage by blood tests today was asked to prove his theory in court.

BOYS BLAMED FOR THEFT OF DYNAMITE
Harvey Garber, proprietor of Garber's brick yard, Santa Ana, reported to the police that some one entered his office late at night and stole a stick of dynamite, a box of dead pencils and an alarm clock.
All of these articles were found in a cluster of weeds a short distance from the office by a man employed at the brickyard. Garber says that suspects one or more boys of the burglary. The office was entered through a window.
BATHING FACILITIES AT MEXICAN SCHOOL
Workmen were busy today levelling off the lot for the new Mexican school building on the site leased at the Fullerton water works.
It is probable that two two-room buildings will be constructed. Each will contain bathing facilities to be used at first for the 150 or more pupils it is expected to enroll and later by adult Mexicans, the idea being to make the school a community center for the race.
HARDING OPPOSES CONGRESS RECESS

HUDSON AWARDED BRIDGE CONTRACT
County supervisors today opened bids on the W. Seventeenth-st. bridge across the Santa Ana river at Santa Ana and awarded the contract to Frank Hudson lowest bidder at $24,332.
Nelson, Orange-co; Dist. Attn. L. C. Kelley, Riverside-co.
Supervisor Hamilton opened the discussion on truck damage to roads.
"When a gun was found to penetrate the beat armor plate," he said, "armor plate manufacturers made a plate that the gun could not penetrate. Gun makers built better guns and penetrated the new plate. Heavier armor was built and that called for better guns. And so we go with roads. If we build eight-inch roads the truckmakers will build heavier trucks — just as heavy as we have roads for them to smash. The state has control of the speed of the truck but we can limit the load. The big trucking interests are centered in Los Angeles and we three counties must protect our roads against them more than we have to against our local truck men who are reasonable."
In the discussion it appeared that Orange-co with a load limit of 25,400 pounds which includes the truck at present has the lowest maximum. San Bernardino has a 20,000 pound net maximum on truck and trailer. But the load can be carried on one truck which might weigh 10,000 pounds or more. San Bernardino supervisors were specially opposed to trailers which swing from side to side as they are very hard on surfacing.
"There is only one way to conserve our roads and our money," declared Dist. Atty, Nelson, "and that is by restrictive legislation. It can't be done by trying to rebuild all our roads. If we build an eight inch road it will have to have a limit on loads for it. We have got to quit right now and enforce the law absolutely to the limit."
Nelson said he had written eight district attorneys in So. Calif., and he felt sure that if the three counties got together on an ordinance nearly all the counties would pass it, too.
"We must limit the loads," concluded Nelson, "and limit them absolutely to loads that our roads will carry. The solution is in restriction and not in spending money for heavier roads."

Marcel Cook, or Max Koch, as his German name is spelled, was brot before Judge Howard this morning on the charge of felony. He was alleged to have obtained $460 from W. B. Rundell of Nebraska under false pretenses. Cook was dismissed because of the failure of the prosecuting witness to appear.
He is said to have obtained money from Rundell on a gold mining deal, and also with the understanding that he would obtain a wife for Rundell. The warrant was sworn out in Feb-
C. C. ADOPTS PLAN FOR SETTLEMENT OF RECENT CAMPAIGN
Drive Netted 363 Memberships at $25, Total $9075, and Service Fund of $8763.50
The report of the settlement committee, composed of Messrs. Adams, Benjamin and Riley, presented two plans for the remuneration of the American City Bureau for its services in the campaign; one covers several payments extended until 27 months from date; the other requires a cash payment now and notes for the balance due Dec. 1, and July 1, next.
The latter plans allows a 10 per cent discount and enables the chamber to further build up its organization without recompense to the bureau, and the committee advocated this settlement which was unanimously allowed by consent of all directors present.
The campaign secured 363 members at $25 each, making $9075; a service fund of $8763.50; a total annual income of $17,838.50. The pledged income for three years is $53,515.50. Anaheim C. of C. is allowed an annual exemption of $6200 this sum representing the in-

He is said to have obtained money from Rundell on a gold mining deal, and also with the understanding that he would obtain a wife for Rundell. The warrant was sworn out in February, 1920, but Cook was not arrested until about a month ago when his whereabouts were made known to the police by Angeline Cohn. He was kept in jail two days and released on a bail of $500. He was defended by Henry G. Bodkin of the firm of Ford and Bodkin of Los Angeles. Rundell returned to Nebraska about a year ago, and therefore could not appear against him.
FILM ACTRESS HURT AS AUTOS COLLIDE

Efforts to obtain verification of the report at Laguna Beach were unavailing.

The latter plans allows a 10 per cent discount and enables the chamber to further build up its organization without recompense to the bureau, and the committee advocated this settlement which was unanimously allowed by consent of all directors present.
The campaign secured 363 members at $25 each, making $9075; a service fund of $8763.50, giving a total annual income of $17,838.50. The pledged income for three years is $53,615.50. Anaheim C. of C. is allowed an annual exemption of $6300, this sum representing the income of the chamber for the year ending June 30, 1921. The bureau receives under the cash settlement, after the exemption and discounts for cash have been deducted, a fraction over ten per cent as their total commission.
The terms of the contract provide for two more campaigns to keep the membership up and supervise, in any way desired, the strengthening of the organization. These services are to be rendered at the end of 12 and 24 months. The bureau undertakes to furnish from its research staff, which costs $30,000 a year to maintain, a special data for civic campaigns, such as may be desired by the local chamber.
