Murietta confessed, according to Jackson, that the four men met at Stanton Friday evening, Nov. 18, and proceeded to Anaheim where they ate lunch at an all-night restaurant. They spent most of the night in the Mexican colony at the sugar factory, coming down town shortly before 4 a.m., Murietta, driving a car purchased on contract from an Anaheim dealer, stationed himself on Clementine-st at the westend of the valley north of the California theater while the three accomplices broke into the store. It was while the goods were being carried from the store to the auto that an alley of the theater door was opened by an employee, frightening away the Mexicans. Sheriff Jackson had not conferred with the district attorney yet as to procedure against the Mexicans. As there is considered a good case against the three Mexicans held at San Diego for the robbery, they may be tried for that. Marriaz lived at Delhi and Rivers at Garden Grove. The Escondido robbery occurred Saturday, Dec. 10. BERGERS SELL 24 ACRES TO L. A. MAN The C. B.

WET PAVEMENTS CAUSE NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS Slippery roads and pavements were largely the cause of a number of automobile accidents over the week-end and today. The worst, perhaps, was one in which a Crown Stake motorbus was overturned with 14 passengers aboard, all bound for Anaheim, about eight o'clock Saturday night some three miles from Long Beach on the Santa Ana-Long Beach line.

The bus was damaged to the extent of $200 or $300, the top being torn off, one wheel ditched, etc. It is being rebuilt in Santa Ana. The driver, Forrest Townley, in his report; said the road was in a treacherous condition, because of clay, which had spilled from trucks that had been hauling dirt on the road. There is a ditch, also, on either side of the highway. A car came along in the middle of the road, and to avoid it Townley ran off into the soft dirt, where the bus skidded and then turned completely over. The driver thrived with your plain dealer, mail it to Eastern Friends—it may bring them to Anaheim, fastest growing city in Orange County.

ROTARIANS LEARN OF INTERNATIONAL The Rotary club, for the first time in its local career, today entertained IMPORTANT MEETING OF REALTY BOARD An important meeting of the newly organized Anaheim Realty Board ROTARIANS LEARN OF INTERNATIONAL The Rotary club, for the first time in its local career, today entertained the Santa Ana and Orange clubs at luncheon. There was a 100 per cent turnout of local members, and a fair representation from the two towns. Long Beach also was represented. The latter city furnished the speaker, Rotarian Rev. Henry Booth, who was introduced by the chairman of the day, Harry D. Riley. The speech was one of the most instructive and inspiring the local club has heard. Booth attended the international Rotary convention in Edinburgh last summer, and pictured in a telling way the influence which Rotary exercises on the affairs of the world, in helping both to abolish war and bring world peace, and in solving world economic problems. Booth said that if businessmen such as Rotarians got together from each of the principal nations, they could do more toward a solution of vexing international questions than the governments themselves. Politics, he said, already had had too much to say concerning world problems. At the present time 100,000,000 people in the world were paupers, and thousands were dying in Vienna. A new economic understanding amongst business men of all nations was necessary, he said, acting on the principles of Rotary—service and cooperation. If Germany were permitted to pay her war debts, she would have to export five times as much as before the war, the speaker said, yet her exports were restricted. The meeting was interspersed with Rotary songs led by Rev. Tom Walker, Floyd Hartrault and Frank Hallman of Orange. Gus Gustlin of Santa Ana and William Dolah of Anaheim played the piano. SOUTH POLE SAILING RIO DE JANERIO, Grazil, Dec. 19—Sir Ernest Shaskleton's south pole expedition schooner Quest was sailing for South Georgia today.
