S. A. VISITORS VICTIMS OF BANDITS Parents and Sister of County-seat Woman on Train Held Up Mrs. C. C. Langley, wife of a mail carrier, residing at 802 Lacey-st, Santa Ana, read with more than usual interest morning paper accounts of the robbery by two masked bandits of Los Angeles Limited No. 7 of the Union Pacific nine miles south of Ogden, Utah, about 2 p.m. yesterday. Mrs. Langley's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Miller, and her sister, Mrs. Amy Glenn, of Huron, S. D., were on the train. They had wired upon departure from their home the route they would take. Mr. Langley planned to meet them when the train arrived in Los Angeles this afternoon. The train was stopped by an automatic block signal. The two robbers boarded the train and commanded everyone in the observation car to hold up their hands. While one gathered the loot in the observation car, the other proceeded to One Killed, One Hurt In Pike’s Peak Auto Tests COLORADO SPRINGS, Sept. 1. W. A. Coleman of Denver was killed and Harry Majors of this city seriously injured in two separate auto accidents on the Pike’s Peak-rd today. The men were engaged in tryouts for the annual Pike’s Peak auto climbing race to cars turned over at sharp curves. Be run here next Monday. Their BURY L. B. LEVERICH IN L. A. THIS A. M. Mr. L. B. Leverich, 70, who, with his wife, has resided for three years near Anaheim, about 3 miles out on East Northst, passed away Monday evening about 6:10, after a serious illness of one week. The funeral was held this morning at Forest Lawn, in Los Angeles. Mr. Leverich was a prominent man in his eastern home and entered upon all things for the betterment of his community after coming to make his home here. He was one of the most energetic workers in securing the parling of what is known as Corona road, and it was largely thru his efforts and cooperation that the supervisors decided to complete this work in the early fall. He was a man of affairs in his former home in Montpelier, Idaho, and was financially interested in ranch business and banking property in that city. Mr. Leverich was a native of Wisconsin. About 4-1-2 years ago he came to California and three years ago to Anaheim and bought the orange grove upon which he made his late home. His wife and a sister in Mrs. J. H. Miller, and her sister, Mrs. Amy Glenn, of Huron, S. D. were on the train. They had wired upon departure from their home the route they would take. Mr. Langley planned to meet them when the train arrived in Los Angeles this afternoon. The train was stopped by an automatic block signal. The two robbers boarded the train and commanded everyone in the observation car to hold up their hands. While one gathered the loot in the observation car, the other proceeded to the other cars. The exact amount taken is not known. The train is not scheduled to stop between Ogden and Salt Lake City after a few minutes' delay the robbers signaled to Robert Hayes, the conductor, to have the train started. It came on toward Salt Lake City. Nearing the outskirts of the city, the robbers pulled the cord again and brot the train to a standstill. They alighted and escaped in the northern part of the city. One passenger in the observation car rather than hold up his hands, jumped from the train. As he was fleeing, one of the bandits shot at him. R. A. Torrens and wife, of New York occupying a drawing room were among the victims. They reported a loss of $13. H. M. Grunder a commercial traveler of Salt Lake City, reported a loss of $75. The women and children on the train were not molested, with the exception of Mrs. Torrens. One passenger scribbled a note and threw it out of the window. It was a notification that the train had been held up. A railway employee picked it up and telephoned to headquarters. A posse was immediately organized but by the time it reached the incoming train the robbers had disappeared. The robbers were described as being between 25 and 35 years old.

"BOB” VINCENT AT ANAHEIM AUTO CO. Starting with today, "Bob" Vincent, for several months local manager for the Peterson Corporation, will have charge of the used car department of the Anaheim Auto Co. Mr. Vincent states that there are hundreds of excellent values offered in second hand cars, yet care must be exercised, in the choosing. Many a car may have an excellent appearance, yet be almost entirely worthless. The only real protection offered is to purchase the car from a reliable dealer of established reputation. During the past few months Mr. Vincent has placed over 200 cars in the hands of people in northern Orange-co and each one expresses himself highly pleased with the value and service received. E. J. Lynch, at one time connected with the local Peterson branch, will be associated with Mr. Vincent. CUSTOMS INSPECTOR DISSECTS BASEBALL RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 1—What's a baseball? No one here knew—not even the customs inspector. A shipment of baseballs, consigned to a local American athletic club arrived here. The valuation was not given with the attached documents, and this proved to be a very serious oversight. Upon calling for the shipment the representative of the club was asked the value of a baseball, in order that the amount of the import duty might be ascertained. But when the price was given the inspector became very suspicious. That seemed to him an absurdly low price to be put on such a nicely shaped and well built ball. So he decided to tear one apart to learn its contents. With each yard of unwound twine his eyes opened wider. When finally he come to the core of rubber and silk, he gave a loud shout. He wasn't going to let anyone put anything over on him. He knew the value of rubber and silk, and the cost of labor to put so much together, and straight-tailered it.

MIDDLE WEST BUSINESS CONDITIONS ARE SPLENDID ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1—Merchants and farmers of the south and west are again exhibiting optimism. They declare that the exportation of grain and credit arrangements for foreign marketing of cotton so improved their condition that they see a clear way out of their difficulties. The operations of the live stock pool has provided stock growers against the necessity of selling breeding cattle. Bank loans are standing still while deposits and reserves are increasing. There are more buyers in the commercial centers than at any time for many years and wholesale establishments are thronged with merchants from the rural townns. Merchants are returning to their pre-war habits of personally visiting jobbers and inspecting merchandise and wholesale business has been greatly stimulated. Retail turnovers are rapid, with prices marked down and sales exploited vigorously by more liberal advertising. GOOD BUSINESS IN WEST. CHICAGO, Sept. 1—The John V. Farwell Co. says: "Wholesale business feels the impetus of the early fall demand. Buyers are in the market in much larger numbers than last year and salts are .35 per cent ahead and road orbits are almost double, though of small size."

Q. R. Store Today Luciana Navorro, 25, pretty Spanish girl, who says she lives at Corona, was arrested by Police Officer O. B. Baxter in the S. Q. R. store shortly before noon today on a charge of shoplifting. She carried a small package of drygoods, neatly wrapped, which the store management stated she had purchased and in a large paper carryall was a quantity of laces silks, ribbons, papers of beauty pins and other things dear to the heart of a young woman. These had been stolen at the S. Q. R. and Falkenstein's stores, according to the police. She was neatly dressed and had succeeded in defy slipping a large quantity of goods into the sack before detection, according to the police. She appeared pathetically contrite but offered no explanation when she was brot before Marshal Frank Steadman and was hooked on a U.S. Flyers and Troops Rushed to War Scene LOGAN, W. Va., Sept. 1—With 50 reported killed in fresh fighting this morning and 30 dead the estimated toll of yesterday's battle, 18 U. S. army airplanes and two carloads of regular troops went sternly about the work of ending the Logan-co mine war today. Upward of 260 are reported wounded. Noon today was the time limit fixed by President Harding for the rebel miners to end their rainy and retire from the military positions where from 3500 to 0-000 of them are menacing the state, federal and county authorities along the "battle front." THREAT CLAIMED IN NOTE COUNTER SUIT Admitting that they subscribed their names to a promissory note for $1,116.50, but protesting that it was not a voluntary act on their part, Mr. and Mrs. L. Hemmerling of Anaheim have filed an answer to a civil action brot by Townsend and Medberry, automobile firm of this city, to compel payment on the note. The note was drafted March 26, last, and, according to Townsend and Medberry, was given in good faith to square an account contracted by their son, C. E. Hemmerling. Young Hemmerling bought a Hudson touring car of the auto firm last March and presented an alleged worthless check for $1,116.50.

Wetzel's patch had been badly raided on recent nights and he was on the lookout for marauders with a shotgun. The discharge lodged in Ebbert's abdomen over the liver, and in the left arm Dr. John Truxaw, city health officer, and Dr. A. H. Galvin were called to attend the youth who died just as he arrived at the hospital. Dr. Truxaw gave it as his opinion that some of the bird-shot had penetrated the liver, causing the victim to bleed to death. Truxaw was to conduct an autopsy late today. A coroner's inquiry will be held Saturday morning at 9:30. Ebbert was brot to the hospital by Wetzel's sons, Emil and Rudolph. One of them said he was writing a letter at the time he heard the shot and paid no attention to it, as his father had been shooting in the air on several nights recently to frighten raiders.

REFUND FROM AUTO TAGS JUMPS $17,000 Motorists of Orange-co are driving better cars than they were a year ago. Either this, or more persons have yielded to the lure of gasoline. So declared County Auditor W. C. Jerome, announcing today that auto owners of the county since Jan. 1, last, had paid to the state motor vehicle department $17,100.77 more for licenses than during the corresponding period last year. The county's refund so far this year amounts to $77,100.77. Jerome stated: Last year the refund was but 569.000. Mr. and Mrs. L. Hemmerling of Anaheim have filed an answer to a civil action brot by Townsend and Medberry, automobile firm of this city, to compel payment on the note. The note was drafted March 26, last, and according to Townsend & Medberry, was given in good faith to square an account contracted by their son, C. E. Hemmerling. Young Hemmerling bought a Hudson touring car of the auto firm early last March and presented an alleged worthless check for $1,115.50. After Orange county authorities spent a week trailing Hemmerling he surrendered himself voluntarily. Bound over, Hemmerling in the superior court pleaded guilty and asked for probation. This Judge West granted, with the understanding that the parents would make good the check. Mr. and Mrs. Hemmerling then signed the promissory note. Now they claim that they signed the paper under duress and ask that the court declare it to be void and invalid. According to Mr. and Mrs. Hemmerling, the plaintiffs, Townsend and Medberry, threatened to send their son to the penitentiary unless they signed the note. Elliott Craig, Los Angeles, is attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Hemmerling. ECONOMY IN SEND OIL BURNING SHIPS TO PACIFIC WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.—One of the moves of the Navy Dept. in the direction of public economy has been the transfer of all oil burning battleships to the Pacific coast. The saving in operating expenses of the fleet which this transfer (coal burning) battleships being transferred to the Atlantic coast at the same time) will make will run into the millions of dollars. The coal burning battleships stationed in the Pacific must have their fuel transported to them at great cost from the Atlantic seaboard. By transferring them to the Atlantic waters and putting oil burning ships in the Pacific all this cost is saved. In addition, because of climatic conditions, the oil burning vessels can use a lower grade of oil in the Pacific than in the Atlantic—a grade they can obtain on the Pacific coast. The difference in cost between the two grades is about 50 pet. By the transfer, then, the double economy of saving all coal carrying costs and one-half the fuel oil costs is affected.

One of them said he was writing a letter at the time he heard the shot and paid no attention to it, as his father had been shooting in the air on several nights recently to frighten raiders. Later Hugo Wetzel was heard in conversation with someone and to say something about a doctor. This prompted the son to investigate and he found his father had assisted Ebbert out of the patch.

Wilbur have leased the entire garage department of the Alexander-bldg at Cypress and No.-Los Angeles-sta and have formed a partnership to conduct a complete garage service, beginning today. Alexander retains the sales department. Both Irvin and Wilbur have had many years experience in the garage business. Irvine has been in the garage business here for a number of years. Wilbur has been salesman for the Briscoe auto in the county since he left the army where he spent 3 years in the air service. Before that he was proprietor of the largest garage in Troy, N.Y. The new garage will be one of the most complete in Orange-co. Attention will not only be given to mechanical repairs but to lubrication service from high grease racks, washing, simulating and like. The two men are planning to install a steam wash rack if investigation proves for it all that in claimed. There is one such now in Los Angeles. ITALIAN RAILWAYS BEING ELECTRIFIED ROME, Sept. 1—Italy's electrification of her state railways is proceeding with a rapidity that is surprising the most optimistic. When the task is at last completed, Italy will have taken her first definitive step toward freeing herself from virtual slavery to whatever foreign country can supply her with coil—to say nothing of greatly improving her financial situation by diminishing one of her biggest and most expensive Motorists of Orange-co are driving better cars than they were a year ago.

The county's refund so far this year amounts to $77,100.77. Jerome stated. Last year the refund was but $59,962.58. The state motor vehicle department retains 10 per cent of all money collected. The money the department uses for the purchase of plates and for general administration. Forty-five per cent is returned to the various counties and the remaining 45 per cent goes to the state for highway purposes. The county's refund from license fees that will be paid up to the last of the present year will be approximately $1000, making the year's total in the neighborhood of $80,000. Jerome said.

Employe, Dies From Wounds Administered Last Night By Hugo Wetzel, Rancher Ebbert, 19, employee of the Union Oil Co. in the fields, died at the Anaheim hospital about 11 night, half an hour after he was shot in the patch of Hugo Wetzel, 62, wealthy retired to the boulevard where he was attempting to hail an auto. The sons say their father did not intend to inflict a mortal wound and that this was evidenced by the fact that when a raider was captured the other night, he was left go with the promise that he would not return. The elder Wetzel sent word by the sons, accompanying the injured youth to Anaheim, that he was ready to give himself up to officers should they want him. The sons were sent back by local officers with the information that he should come in to the Anaheim police station. When he arrived here Wetzel was taken to the county jail where he spent the night. At the district attorney's office today it was announced that a charge of manslaughter would be filed against him. Ebbert was the oldest of five children of Mr. and Mrs. Chester Ebbert, of Sugar-ave, 1½ miles southwest of Anaheim. Young Ebert, 19, Union Oil Co.

PEG MODEL HELPS OIL FIELD STUDY The peg model, a creation of California engineering practice, affords the simplest and most practicable means of studying underground conditions in the oil fields. It has come into extensive use as one of the necessary aids for a graphic representation of the variable underground conditions of the oil fields in California. The department of petroleum and gas of the state mining bureau has constructed models for practically all of the fields of California where development has been actively carried on. The May, 1921, "Summary of Operations, California Oil Fields," contains an article on the construction and use of peg models in planning development and remedial work on oil properties. O R. R.

R. COMMISSION ER O. E. Steward of Anaheim today could not venture an whether it would be possible for Anaheim to sell Edison on. The Fullerton council agreed Tuesday night to apply to Anaheim for such a favor. Anaheim is buying juice from the So. Cal Edison Co. and retailing it over municipal lines to consumers. In Fullerton, the Edison sells direct to consumers. By reason of having had a municipal plant, Anaheim was able to obtain a much lower rate than Fullerton is offered on juice it now wants to buy for its ornamental lighting system. About five years ago Anaheim made a ten-year contract at nine mills per kilowat. During the war when prices advanced, the railroad commission ignored the contract and stuck on some overcharges, so the price is now about 142 cents. Fullerton is offered Edison juice at 9.5 cents. be considered in Fullerton's propos- "There are a number of things to al to buy from us," said Steward today. "If we can do it without jeopardizing our rate, of course we will be glad to do it. I presume the matter will resolve itself to what the railroad commission decides about it. Of course, we are not supposed to sell juice outside of Anaheim, but then the Edison company isn't supposed to sell inside Anaheim. It is doing that and has been ever since the verbal agreement was made at the time the contract was signed. Clement J. Hogg, representative of the department of greater service of the Edison company is a visitor in the city, calling on City Manager Steward and other officials and citizens to determine "why Anaheim is so hostile toward the Edison Co."

ARRESTS HINTED IN BIG TRABUCO FIRE Fire that swept between 150 and 200 acres of mountainside in Trabuco canyon started thrue the carelessness of a care taker at the Borden mining claims in Trabuco canyon. The caretaker was burning leaves on the grounds at the mines, and the fire got away from him. With underbrush, grass and weeds exceedingly dry, the fire travelled with great rapidity. It ran up the side of the ridge and over into Holy Jim canyon. That the fire was started at the mines was stated by M. H. Jeffries, lookout for the forest service, stationed on Santiago peak.
