This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding That Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others in This Field. VOL. XXV—No. 11 FAIRYLAND SCHOOL TRUSTEES FIRE A. L. GRIBLING Accepts Arbiters' Award of $5127.92; Will Pay Off Builder and Make Own Corrections of Defects. Anaheim grammar school trustees last night voted to accept the award of the board of arbitration and then accepted the Central and Citron-st school buildings. This means the release of Contractor A. L. Gribling, against whom there has been so much objection because of alleged repeated violation of contract and failure to live up to specifications. The school board will direct the alterations and corrections deemed necessary to the buildings without the aid of Gribling. The trustees have been holding back about 25 pot of the contract price of the buildings. This will be paid Gribling within that prescribed 35 days, less the "supplementary damages" that were awarded by the arbiters, and which total $5127.92. The latter sum will, of course, be expended in making the corrections to the buildings. The trustees will start immediately on the corrections, beginning first with the roofs. "We accepted the award of the arbiters because we believe it was as much as could be expected," said E. H. Metcalf, clerk, today. "We felt that it would be useless to worry with Gribling longer and that the interests of the school district would be better served by his dismissal and we correct the defects ourselves."

CHARGE HIGHTOWER WITH PRIEST'S DEATH SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12—William Hightower, 24 hours heralded as the man who had done the impossible and "discovered" the body of Father Patrick E. Heilhart the kidnapped priest of Colma, spent last night in a prison cell. Today, police of San Francisco and Dist. Atty. Swart of San Mateo co. described he will be charged with murder. Other developments of the case attempting to build against W. Hightower today depend largely upon success or failure efforts to locate two women. Or was Dolly Mason, "blonde, pretty and with cigarette-stained teeth." The other was Doris Shirley, in Sacramento, alleged to have placed the mysterious "Dolly Mason" in the affections of Hightower. Police admitted there was possibility that both these women were more or less mythical, but less they could prove they did not exist, their case largely dependent upon finding them. Belief that Dolly Mason does ist was strengthened today when Hightower's direction, police seized from the postoffice here a letter Hightower had written to her contents were not revealed. But despite the fact that the thorities claim to have wound him a tight drawn web of circumstantial evidence, Hightower probably will claim and receive the 1000 reward offered for the find of the body, the district attorney office said. He fulfilled the conditions of the reward and if it is not at all, he is the man to receive it was declared. So the picture of a man defends himself on a charge of murder with the reward money paid for the sation of the crime, was in progress today. AVICADOS ON C. OF C.

YOUNGMAN STARTS GRID SEASON WITH VERY BEEFY LINE The Badly Shot by Graduation, Anaheim Coach Expects to Round Up Winner With the opening of Anaheim high school less than a month away, football prospects are beginning to receive attention. At the close of school in June, Coach Harold Youngman faced what appeared to be a difficult problem in rounding up a point, winning aggregation for this fall's schedule, but as the gridiron season rolls around one after another of his problems have been disappearing.

A reply was obtained today from President Obregon of Mexico, by the Anaheim C. of C. in answer to a letter from Secretary Fraser to the President of the southern republic, July 14, sending him a speech made at the Kiwania club by Mr. McDermott, of Santa Ana, referring to the fine way in which Obregon is conducting affairs. President Obregon's reply was as follows: "I have received your letter bearing the date of July 14th, just passed, and am in complete sympathy with your observations and extend my most gracious thanks for them, with particular reference to your felicitations which serve to notice my labors as the governing power." With respect to the hopes which you have of our soon securing a favorable accord between this government and that of the U. S., I may say that these also are mine and much to be desired. In the noble and disinterested labors which are being carried on by various Americans, among whom you are to be numbered, and who have a high conception of justice, appreciation, and regard, always The Badly Shot by Graduation, Anaheim Coach Expects to Round Up Winner With the opening of Anaheim high school less than a month away, football prospects are beginning to receive attention. At the close of school in June, Coach Harold Youngman faced what appeared to be a difficult problem in rounding up a point winning aggregation for this fall's schedule, but as the gridiron season rolls around one after another of his problems have been disappearing. Graduation dealt a hard blow to the team. Youngman losing both ends, Shoebridge and Topham; Hausladen, tackle; Tanner, center; and Wilsmen, fullback. Today Youngman believes he has some very likely candidates for every position save his ends. With the report coming to him that a Long Beach quarter back is going to be available for Anaheim this year, Clayes, who was in the pivotal position last year, will probably go to a half. Captain Cook will probably be the other half. Gates and Newkirk, last year skeeterweight stars, are also prospective material at quarter. A big feature of the team, it now appears, will be the line. It now looks as if it would average close to 175 from tackle to tackle. A promising newcomer is Friend, who has had two years experience on the Phoenix high school team. He would add 182 pounds to a tackle position. Giese is another 180-pound tackle while Betzold and Schmidt guards, are also heavy men. Youngman, who has been doing considerable scouting around vacation, has received the report that a very likely man for center may come from Fullerton. Nick Hile, who weighs around 155 and who played a tackle position last year, is also being considered for center. For ends, Youngman is considering Johnny Hushman whose 130 pounds, tho rather light, is all guts, and Al Hile, a 145-pounder. Both looked mighty good with the skeetterweights last year. If he would come out, Warner, a big husky and natural athlete, could make an invaluable addition to the team. Youngman believes there may be found considerable desirable material among new students who have come to town during the vacation. School starts Sept. 12 and football practice will begin the preceding Tuesday. Suits will be given out the last three days of August.
