TWO DROWN AT COUNTY BEACHES Riverside Youth Lost at Laguna and L. A. Boy at Balboa Monday. Two young men lost their lives yesterday while battling strong tides at Orange-co beaches. Gale Wight, 19, well known Riverside high school athlete whose home was at 1448 Orange Grove-ave Riverside, died in an attempt to battle a strong rip tide at Laguna Beach. He was visiting at the beach with his brother, Glenn, who is superintendent of schools of Corona. He had gone far beyond the breakers with a party of friends. All returned with the exception of Mr. Wight. He signaled for help but was swept to sea before aid could reach him. The body had not been recovered late last night. Fred Horner, 21, was carried beyond his depth at Balboa Beach. He lived at 806 W. Fifty-fourth-st., Los Angeles, and had gone with his mother and family for a week-end at the beach. The mother was near when the accident occurred. Rescuers brot the body to shore and unsuccessful attempt was made to use a pulmotor. He died a few minutes after having brat to the beach. Auto Dealers Craft Plans Secret Stuff The Motor Car, Truck and Tractor Dealers' craft of the Orange-co Auto Trades Asn. is "pulling" some more "secret stuff," according to notices issued by Herbert O. Davis, secretary, in regard to a meeting to be held next Friday evening. The secretary refuses to take the members of the craft into his confidence and all he advises them to do is "to meet at Harry Riley's garage, Anaheim at 6:30 p.m., receive instructions and leave promptly at 6:45 p.m. for the rendezvous, 'far from the maddening crowd.'" Davis gives assurance that a fine dinner and an evening of good entertainment will be provided for the members who attend. The secrecy being maintained is arousing no little interest in the approaching meeting, and, according to Davis, indications point to one of the best attended meetings of the craft in some months. SEEK LOCATION FOR JELLICUBE PLANT Chet Johnson reported today that increasing inquiry was coming in for the jellicubes to be manufactured by the company he is now organizing.

Fred Horner, 21, was carried beyond his depth at Balbon Beach. He lived at $06 W. Fifty-fourth-st. Los Angeles, and had gone with his mother and family for a week-end at the beach. The mother was near when the accident occurred. Rescuers brot the body to shore and unsuccessful attempt was made to use a pulmotor. He died a few minutes after having been brort to the beach. Roth is believed to have been to suffocation rather than drowning as the body was observed floating face downward. He had been gassed in France. The Wight body was not recovered until 10 a.m., when it was found by searchers using glass bottomed-boxes us are used for hunting abalone. The body was taken in 20 feet of water off Cheney's point and was brought into bay where it was held for an inquest by the coroner. At the inquest over the Horner body at Bocks & Terry Chapel today, the verdict was given as accidental drowning. Horner is survived by a mother and three sisters who also reside of Los Angeles. Funeral services will be held tomorrow in Los Angeles at 2:00. FALLERT-HELD TO SUPERIOR COURT Joe Fallert, Fullerton oil worker, at a preliminary hearing in Santa Ana Justice court today, was held to the superior court on a charge of driving an auto while intoxicated. Fallert was arrested at Newport by Marshul J. A. Porter. A bottle of liquor, alleged to have been found in Fallert's machine, will be held as evidence against the defendant. Porter stated that at the time of the arraignment that Fallert drove by machine into a sand pile at Newport then fell asleep. Porter said that when he aroused Fallert and asked him what day of the week it was he appeared confused. Fallert, according to Porter, said that it was Wednesday, when, as a matter of fact, it was Sunday. Porter said that a Newport physician pronounced Fallert intoxicated. Anita Baldwin Bans Hunting On Ranches LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6. — Mrs. Anita Baldwin, owner of the Santa Anita ranch near Arcadia, the Rancho La Puente near Puente, the Rancho La Merced near Montebello and the Clenoga ranch between Los Angeles and Venice, has notified hunters that no shooting is allowed on any of her properties. Watchmen have been stationed on all of these ranches, she says, to protect the horses and cattle grazing there. PEARSON INFANT SUCCUMBS Funeral services for Baby Lewis JELLICUBE PLANT Chet Johnson reported today that increasing inquiry was coming in for the jellicubes to be manufactured by the company he is now organizing. "Altho they have not yet seen the product, the newspaper advertising that has been given our proposition created much interest among jobbers of food stuffs," states Johnson. The sale of stock is progressing satisfactorily and the company is now directing its attention to a factory location. This need not be on a railroad, as the cull citrus fruit will be brot in on trucks from the vicinity and the finished product is so concentrated that $100 worth will not take up more room than a cubic foot. EXPECT BIG CROWD AT "PEGGY" SHOW If you want to laugh as you have never laughed before, come to the high school Friday, Sept. 9, at 8:00 o'clock. The attraction "All-of-a-Sudden-Peggy," is a scream and not a human being in Anaheim should miss it. This play is being put on by the members of the Sunshine Philathea class of the Methodist White Temple Sunday school. Combining Irish, wit with English satire, the play is comical from the time the curtain raises to the time it is lowered. Anthony, Lord Crackenthorpe, is a regular scream and he alone is worth the price of admission. The cast is working every minute to make this play a success and de sires the cooperation of everyone. The admission price is 50 cents and the auditorium ought to be filled to capacity. The leads are ably taken by Fred Heln and Sylvia Mae Dunn. ACCIDENT VICTIMS AT LOCAL HOSPITAL Several new cases have been entered in the Anaheim sanitarium since Saturday morning, among them being two accidents, Miss Ruth Estabrook, of Whittier, and J. A.

Orange County Plain Dale LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Tuesday, September 6, 1921 LOCALS TRIM PASADENA BY 8-1 Anaheim Draws First Blood in 3-Game Series for So. Calif. Title Anaheim Elks drew first blood Sunday afternoon at Brookside Park, Pasadena, in the opener of a three-game series with the Crown City antlered tribe for the Elks’ baseball championship of So. Calif., thus repeating last season’s record. If history continues to repeat itself, Anaheim will defeat Pasadena at Commonwealth Park, Fullerton, next Sunday. It was a great ball game, hard fought from start to finish, with tension between the rival teams and the thousands of partisan supporters evident from the moment practice started. Too much credit cannot be given Harry Hughes, the former Coast League pitching star. He struck out 16 men and permitted but five hits. Up to the eighth inning, but two safeties had been registered by the Crown City herd. He had dazzling speed and strike after strike was called without a swing of the bat. They couldn’t see ‘em; q. e. d. they couldn’t hit ‘em. Bigamist’s Family Has Reunion in Superior-ct There was quite a family reunion in superior court at Santa Ana today when Jesse Cunningham, Los Angeles furniture salesman, was given a hearing on his application for probation on a charge of bigamy. Judge Williams granted probation from a jail sentence and fined him $500 to be paid $100 down and $100 per year. In the event of a lapse of payment, Cunningham must go to jail at the rate of $2 per day. Violet Trabant, “the second wife,” her mother, Cunningham’s mother, his real mother-in-law and his 4½-year-old son were in court. All testified excepting the son. The Trabants were bitterly opposed to the probation order. When Cunningham was first arrested he was quoted as saying he was tired of attempting to supporting two wives and would welcome jail. PRESBY. MINISTER BACK FROM REST Presbyterian Church Notes The members of the Presbyterian congregation were delighted last Sunday because of the news a letter from Rev. Walker conveyed. He will be with us a week sooner than we expected, and will preside at the Wednesday evening prayer and praise meeting this week. All members are urged to be present at the meeting Wednesday evening. Rev. Walker will begin a series of studies on “The Life That Wins.” Please be prepared with some verse pertaining to life promises or purpose. 10,000 A LABOR All Parts of County and Los Parade Thru Downtown South Columbia P. The Labor Day celebration was counted a great success, the 900 people in attendance during was carried out practically as prizes in the parade. The American won the drill contest, with a prize contest of bands, Anaheim ing the only ones in the parade. The people began to gather for the celebration early and while the pop stands and gala decorations were opening up at Columbia park on W. Broadway where the celebrations were held, the labor men and merchants were gathering in the vicinity of the high school for the grand parade, which marched east on Center to Lemon, north to CyPRESS, east to Claudina, south to center, west to Lemon, south to Broadway and west to Columbia park. There were representatives in the parade from all parts of the county, and from Los Angeles. There were many decorated automobiles and floats. Judge Howard delivered the address of welcome in behalf of Anaheim at the park and there were addresses by Judge Cox of Santa Ana, Judge Thomas of Santa Ana, J. B. Too much credit cannot be given Harry Hughes, the former Coast League pitching star. He struck out 16 men and permitted but five hits. Up to the eighth signing, but two safeties had been registered by the Crown City herd. He had dazzling speed and strike after strike was called without a swing of the bat. They couldn't see 'em; q. e. d. they couldn't hit 'em. On the other hand, after the local wrecking crew had looked over the offerings of Mr. Denton, the Crown City's jewel, he smote him hip and thigh. It was a great day to fatten batting averages. LaFayette Lewis was a regularog for hits, getting four out of four times up. The other time he got in front of one of Dunton's inshoots and saw first just the same. The previous Sunday, LaFayette's old reliable hickory, the one he hulled with such vengeance since the Pasadena series last year, was broken. However, a little tape and a few tacks made it stick together. He wasn't sure whether it had the proper balance until yesterday's encounter. With a little binder twine it, he feels that he'll be in position to hit every once in a while. Ramage and Captain Buster Callan also did deadly work with the willow. Twice it damage came up and pasted the pill for two bags, ambling home when Buster emulated him. The first time Runge did this, the crowd in deep right field readily opened up for the fielder who caught it. However, a ground rule, which evidently hadn't contemplated such grandstand effort, gave Anaheim's slugging first baseman the right to second base. Thereupon, the Pasadensans raised loud walls and would have been arguing yet but for the fact Kitty Brashear and Dad Meek, veteran umpires, wanted to see the game proceed. The crushing defeat was a bitter dose for the Crown City crew. They had adopted the novel idea of parading a goat, labeled Anaheim 1345, in front of the local rooting contingent. It is hardly probable they will resort to such novels in the future, for poor, nanny, weak and insipid in the first place, never baa-ed once after the sixth innning, when the locals got to Dunton for six hits, scoring five runs. Of the several thousand who watched the contest, a big portion was from North Orange county and the Anaheim rooting section put it all over Pasadena's home ground supporters. Publicity Manager Bill Knott today issued a formal statement of appreciation for the excellent support that has been given the team throughout the season, not only by lodgemen but by those outside the order. Presbyterian Church Notes The members of the Presbyterian congregation were delighted last Sunday because of the news a letter from Rev. Walker conveyed. He will be with us a week sooner than we expected, and will preside at the Wednesday evening prayer and praise meeting this week. All members are urged to be present at the meeting Wednesday evening. Rev. Walker will begin a series of studies on "The Life That Wins." Please be prepared with some verse pertaining to life, promise, or purpose. We are greatly pleased to have three of our former members with us, and have them take active part in our services. They were Mrs. Clara Haylett of Wilmington, Miss Grace Crawford of Los Angeles and Master Paul Richison of Beaumont. Sunday was the time for awards in the junior department. Those being successful with the golden texts were Mabel White, Mary Beebe, Laline and Marguerite Schlosser. Theo Quarton, Winifred Beebe, Bernice Bremer and Marion Sloop. The classes receiving wall cards for the highest average attendance for the month were Mrs. Dabney's class of girls and Mr. Collins' class of boys. Special notice was sent the ladies of the church that the regular meeting of the Presbyterial will be held in Santa Ana Tuesday, Sept. 6, today in the First Presbyterian church, corner Sixth and Sycamore-ors. Prof. Askin has delighted the congregation with some exceptionally beautiful solos during the summer months, particularly during August, while the choir was taking its usual vacation. Sunday morning he sang, "Behold, What Manner of Love" by J. G. MacDermid. At the morning service Dr. Birchley spoke on the sentence, "Skr we would see Jesus," taken from John 12:21. He said: "These words were spoken ages ago but are echoed louder than ever today. It is a cry that will beat on the ear of every live Christian. If the Christians' cars are sensitive; if you are alert, and ready for service, you will hear that cry no matter how small the company you may be in—it may be only one. Living Christians live because Christ lives and they live just as he lives." The entire sermon was an appeal to the Christian to be alert alive, consecrated and not only ready but anxious for service. He pointed out clearly that the Christian's chief business is directing and introducing seekers to the Lord Jesus. It may sometimes be necessary to go out after souls or even to render very material services in order to let the world know that Christ lives in and works through his children, but this will all be cheerfully and gladly done by the consecrated Chris- Judge Howard delivered the address of welcome in behalf of Anaheim at the park and there were addresses by Judge Cox of Santa Ana, Judge Thomas of Santa Ana, J. B. Dale of the American Federation of Labor, A. J. Rhode international electrical workers, and others prominent in business and organized labor. Rev. E J.

Butler, of the Cooperative Auto Co., 2133 American ave., Long Beach, lost control of a large touring car about 9 a.m., Monday on No. Los Angeles and crashed into the gasoline pump in front of James vulcanizing shop. Two Fords had come together at Chartree and Los Angeles streets, temporarily blocking traffic. Driving rapidly from the north, Butler claims his brakes failed to work and to avoid smashing into the traffic congestion he pulled into the curb. The wheels on the right side of his car jumped onto the sidewalk. The pump was broken off cleanly at the base and was thrown 30 feet, a total wreck. The car was not seriously damaged outside of a twisted axle. The loss of the pump will be $450. Of the several persons in the car, none were hurt. BACK FROM CAMPING TRIP Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Clemons, living five miles southwest, near Corniz station, have returned from a three months camping trip which took them through Nevada and Utah as far east as Denver, returning via Washington, and taking in Yoseme- te on the side. This is their first real vacation from the ranch and they report that they enjoyed every minute of the trip. The entire sermon was an appeal to the Christian to be alert alive, consecrated and not only ready but anxious for service. He pointed out clearly that the Christian's chief business is directing and introducing seekers to the Lord Jesus. It may sometimes be necessary to go out after souls or even to render very material services in order to let the world know that Christ lives in and works thru his children, but this will all be cheerfully and gladly done by the consecrated Christian.

Y., Sept. 6 — "These are the things that are driving men to shave themselves," said J. G. Shaughnessey, general organizer for the Journeymen Barger's International Union of America, at an open meeting of union, non-union and employing barbers in the Eagles' assembly hall, and he proceeded to outline a formidable list of faults that some members of the trade have. Here are a few of them: The fault of treating roughly the customer who comes into the shop just before closing time. The fault of dodging the "dead ones" that won't give tips. The fault of having a half-honed razor that scrapes instead of shaves. The fault of chasing around the corner to get the ball scores or returns from the race track. "We can do without the squirrel-dodgers and nickel-and-dime hunters, and the quicker we get rid of them the better it will be for business," declared Shaughnessey. MIN Dealer.

ANAHEIM COUPLE CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING CEREMONY A very happy event occurred Satriday, when Mr. and Mrs. John G. H. Teebken, of 427 North Claudina, received their many friends and relaties in commemoration of their wedding, which was celebrated 50 years ago in an eastern state. Invitations read, "three o'clock," and the guests remained from that hour until late evening, about 60 being present. Immediately after the assembly, Rev. Smelzer conducted a most impressive ceremony usual to such anniversaries, closing with song and congratulations. A three-course chicken dinner was then serv- ed, and toasts and responses were given of fitting nature. The evening hours were passed in music and conversation. The bride and groom of 50 years ago were recipients of many appropriate and expensive gifts, among There were to have been aeroplanes carrying passengers during the day, but when the plane owned by Lee Nomis of Los Angeles and occupied by himself and mechanic, William Spencer, also of Los Angeles, tried to land about 10 a.m. it was wrecked, and could not be used during the remainder of the day. The wreck occurred when one of the wings became entangled with a tree due to an unfavorable wind. Neither of the fliers was injured. The damage to the machine amounted to several hundred dollars. This made it necessary to send to Long Beach for another plane to put on the pyrotechnic fireworks display at night. John J. Montijo responded with his mechanic, A. Lenkelst, but altho the plane was on hand at the appointed hour of nine o'clock, the fuse for the fireworks refused to work which made it necessary to fly back to the landing field at Brea and obtain the services of Mr. Martin of the Brea garage to rewire the affair and it was not until about 10 o'clock that it was possible to get the fireworks going. They made some very beautiful displays. The only accident, saving the wreck of the aeroplane, reported at the park during the day was to the little eight-year-old daughter of Ben Shraider of Yorba Linda, who was standing in the road and was run down by an oil worker Her leg was injured but not broken. She was taken to the Anaheim hospital where her wounds were dressed. WELL CUTS LOOSE of Orange co heard the roar of a gas well in the Huntfield last night.

Immediately after the assembly, Rev. Smelter conducted a most impressive ceremony usual to such anniversaries, closing with song and congratulations. A three-course chicken dinner was then served, and toasts and responses were given of fitting nature. The evening hours were passed in music and conversation. The bride and groom of 50 years ago were recipients of many appropriate and expensive gifts, among them being a silver tea set, gold lined, several pieces of gold china, knives and forks and many other pretty and useful articles. Although Mr. and Mrs. Teebken have resided in Anaheim only two years, they have made many friends who wish them the privilege of celebrating many anniversaries together. Only one of their children; Mrs. Toelle, with her two sons, were able to be present at this happy affair. Mrs. Toelle and her sons have been in Anaheim visiting for several weeks, but have decided to make their home here. Four other sons and daughters are living in eastern states, each of whom sent messages of congratulation and good cheer. Few husbands and wives are privileged to pass 50 years together through the ups and downs of life, and one is reminded of the beautiful lines of Browning; "Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be. The last of life for which the first was made." TOM MIX FAILS TO PUT IN APPEARANCE Tom Mix, cow-boy movie actor and director, had failed to put in an appearance at Santa Ana up to mid-afternoon in response to the felony warrant sworn out by Chas, O. Sayre of Placeia, who charged Mix with failing to stop his auto and render aid after a collision with his ma-noon. At the courthouse it was stated that Mix was expected to show up at any time. FACTORY AT ORANGE WILL MAKE WIRE Orange's $200,000 wire factory, the California Wire Co., manufacturers of electric wire and cables and the only plant of its kind in the west, will begin preparing material for the manufacture of its first product, weather-proof wire, early in October, according to Fred H. Alden, resident sales manager of the concern. Actual construction work on the plant is now well under way, and according to Mr. Alden, machinery will be in place and everything in shape for an opening not later than 1500 SCOUR WOODS FOR ROY GARDNER TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 6.—With a flotilla of 50 small craft linking up a tight naval ring around McNeils Island to prevent the escape by water of Roy Gardner, the "super bandit," a force of 1500 men today was conducting a bush-to-bush search of the island itself in the nope of recapturing the Los Angeles and San Diego train robber in his third successful escape from custody. Altho it was not believed that he could have reached the mainland after his sensational break from the federal prison here late yesterday, yet another 1000 men on the shores of Puget Sound were engaged in the search to locate him if he had done so. MEDICAL COLLEGE DEDICATED SOON NEW YORK, Sept. 6. — Peking will witness this month an event which may have as much significance for the future welfare of China as the Washington conference on disarmament and the far east in November. In the week of Sept. 15-22 will be held medical conferences in connection with the dedication exercises of the Peking Union Medical college and hospital, which the Rockefeller foundation is building, equipping and staffing. In 1915 a special commission sent to China by the Rockefeller foundation reported that the need of medical relief in China was very great. Try Plain Dealer Want Ads. Orange's $200,000 wire factory, the California Wire Co., manufacturers of electric wire and cables and the only plant of its kind in the west, will begin preparing material for the manufacture of its first product, weather-proof wire, early in October, according to Fred H. Alden, resident sales manager of the concern. Actual construction work on the plant is now well under way, and according to Mr. Alden, machinery will be in place and everything in shape for an opening not later than the middle of October. The plant, which ultimately will spread over an entire block, is located on North Cypress street on the site occupied years ago by the Ainsworth Milling company.
