ANAHEIM REALTY MEN FORM BOARD (Continued from Page One) tant. This attitude was highly applauded by the local realty men. He suggested that they should have experience before being given a brokerage license, and a law should be passed to this effect. He also suggested that each real estate man should give some time to the betterment of the business, since he would glean it back indirectly. He referred to the orange growers co-operation as results of what organization would do. He then told of the various complaints brot before the commissioner. Some would refuse to give a commission to their partners because they had no written agreement. In such cases the license would be revoked. Other commission troubles would also arise. And another manner of complaint would be of overzealous salesmen who pernade people to buy something they do not want. He told one instance of a woman in Los Angeles who went for a free ride. She didn't have anything, but her dead son's gold watch. A smooth-tongued salesman got hold of her and before she got back to town he had that gold watch. Mr. Keiser brot action against him and forced him to return the watch. Another young school teacher who had come to Angeles was induced to give up all her money as first payment on a piece of real estate, and she has nothing to live on. She could not recover her money. Another cause of complaint is crooked salesmen who deliberately misrepresent property, telling people it is the finest land in the state when it is nothing but desert. These sort must be put out of business, and when found their licenses are revoked. Mr. White of the real estate board of Santa Ana addressed the meeting. He referred to the proposed joint sewer line to the sa, and he said that within a few years Santa Ana and Anaheim will grow together, and on down to the sea where they will have one of the greatest harbors in the U.S. outside of New York. He urged a reality board here. He said the realty boards are not only for justice from the real estate men to the buyers but also from the buyers to the real estate men. He declared CALL EXTRA VENIRE FOR BOOZE TRIAL An extra venire of ten jurors was summoned by Justice of the Peace J. S. Howard this morning, after attorneys had failed to obtain a full jury at the trial of Andrew Asmussen, bar tender for the Liberty Grill on North Los Angeles street. The original number subpoenaed were eighteen. The jury finally picked is: Scott R. Walter, W. D. Grafton, Ben Stroup, H. E. Strodhoff, T. A. Kinnamon, M. C. Pritchard, J. E. Coyner, N. M. Durkee, G. M. Simpson, J. W. Berryman, J. L. Findlay and Oscar Schneider. Those excused for cause were Roland Ingram, Adolph Maas, M. Tenny, H. O. Renner G. J. Stock, Peter Pohn, Jr., M. E. Beebe, J. H. Enearl G. N. Fording E. H. Heying, W. A. Franz, J. H. Brunwatt W. J. Sebastian and Forest F. Fowler. Attorney C. D. Swanner of Santa Ans, represented the defendant, and City Attorney Homer G. Ames the people. Ames said Asmussen was accused of violating city ordinance 337, on prohibition; He was accused of having sold on or about Dec. 9, bitters with an alcoholic content of 25 per cent. The beverage was sold at 15 cents a glass, and quantities in the original bottles were found in the place. The trial opened at 10 a.m., and adjourned until 11:30 until an extra venire could be summoned. Adjournment again was taken at noon until 1:30. The first witness after the trial resumed at 1:30 was Wm. Wirt, who with a witness, Louis Rose, testified that on Nov. 9 they entered the Liberty Grill and purchased drinks from a bottle of Huffland Bitters. Attorney for the defense spent considerable time in endeavoring to prove that the bottle of bitters given in evidence was not that which was purchased. Rose described the appearance of the place, those present and how the two had ordered glasses of near beer and bitters. The bottle of bitters cost Wirt $75. Wirt and Rose are workers in sugar who recently came from the east. Dr. Bessie Martell, attached to the Community hospital at Santa Ana, Mr. White of the real estate board of Santa Ana addressed the meeting. He referred to the proposed joint sewer line to the sa, and he said that within a few years Santa Ana and Anaheim will grow together, and on down to the sea where they will have one of the greatest harbors in the U. S. outside of New York. He urged a realty board here. He said the realty boards are not only for justice from the real estate men to the buyers but also from the buyers to the real estate men. He declared that not all the rascals in the world are in the real estate business, and that there are those who think it the greatest thing they can do if they can only cheat a real estate man out of his commission. He said that the real estate men in Santa Ana have been working too cheaply and that they have decided to raise commissions. He stated also that there will be a course of lectures later at the Santa Ana realty board along the line of their business. Jack Wallace, secretary of the Santa Ana realty board, also gave a short talk saying that the bankers and the realty men should get closer together, and keep in touch with the advancing real estate values. His attitude was highly endorsed by Judge Howard. Mr. Pope of Santa Ana also spoke, nudging that the realty men got in good. C. C. C. Tatum, first vice president of the Cal. Real Estate Ass'n, was then introduced by Judge Howard. Judge Howard stated that he did not know what so many people stood for, unless it were, if you want to know anything about the real estate business, see Tatum. Mr. Tatum declared that the public has been beta, making monkeys out of the real estate men, and the real estate me have been letting 'em do it. "I've been just as big a monkey as the rest of you," he said. "Don't call the real estate business a game any longer," he pleaded. "It's not a game, it's a profession...it's just as much a profession as any other business." He asked if it was not for the real estate men where would the bankers be, and he declared that you don't have to do anything crooked to make money in the real estate business. He said that the realty men are for California, and if it hadn't been for them California would not be the state it is today. He urged attendance at the state convention in Oakland in January. About this time Mr. Keber made a brief talk exusing himself and went on his way. He was given a rising vote of thanks. Bird Beebe made a short talk, hoping that others were as well pleased with the affair as himself. He was chief responsible for its success, seeing or calling up all the real estate men in town and inviting them to attend. Adolph Thomas, of the Golden Grill and purchased drinks from a bottle of Huffland Bitters. Attorney for the defense spent considerable time in endeavoring to prove that the bottle of bitters given in evidence was not that which was purchased. Rose described the appearance of the place, those present and how the two had ordered glasses of near beer and bitters. The bottle of bitters cost Wirt $75. Wirt and Rose are workers in sugar who recently came from the east. Dr. Bessie Martell, attached to the Community hospital at Santa Ana, was another witness obtained by the sheriff's office. She told of analyzing the contents of the bitters bottle and said the bitters contained about 25 per cent alcohol. Deputy Sheriff Gunnett testified regarding his knowledge of the bottle which was in his possession at various times, beginning Nov. 10. It was Gunnett who gave the bottle to Dr. Martell for analysis. Miss Horwitz, clerk of Judge Howard, who also attended the trial of Max Salscheider, offered routine testimony but was not cross-examined. City Atty Ames placed the bottle in evidence, read the labels upon it one of which indicated the time it was purchased, about 2:50 p.m., and then passed the bottle to the jurors. Asmussen finally admitted when he took the stand that he sold Ruffland Bitters to practically any patron who asked for them whether they requested a medicine or tonic. He said he did not recall ever having even Rose or Wirt before. He declared he served the bitters at the orders of Max Salscheider, proprietor. His admission of selling the bitters to almost anyone who asked for them was made on cross-examination by City Atty Ames. Ames previous to Amussen's testimony offered as exhibits B and C report of Dr. Martell and City Ordinance 537 which he read. At conclusion of testimony Ames, in summing up to the jury, said there had been a wanton and gross violation of the ordinance. COTTON CROP SMALL California's cotton crop this year is less than half that of last year, but prices are nearly double. On account of last year's disastrous cotton conditions, the acreage planted this year in the Imperial and Palo Verde valleys was very small.

He urged attendance at the state Convention in Oakland in January. About this time Mr. Keber made brief talk exusing himself and went on his way. He was given a rising vote of thanks. Bird Beebe made a short talk, hoping that others were well pleased with the affair as himself. He was chiefly responsible for its success, seeing or calling up all the real estate men in town and inviting them to attend. Adolph Thomas, of the Golden State Bank, was called upon to make a short talk, and assured the reality men of his co-operation insofar as it is possible. However, he warned them that they must not expect too much of the bankers, since in the eyes of the bank and bank laws real estate men were just the same as anyone else, and could not be accorded special privileges. Judge Howard said a number of realty boards had been undertaken here previously, but that we are now living in a different time, a time of LOWER IN ENGLAND British commodity prices have experienced a marked drop in all classes of commodities, according to statistics recently compiled in London. co-operation, that organization in all lines is co-operative, and that it is time for the real estate men to swing in line.
