TERM IN JAIL FOR SPEED VIOLATORS Judge Howard Makes New Year Resolution, Traffic Violators Will Respect Violators of the state speed laws, regardless of who they are, will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Justice J. N. Howard announced this morning. Judge Howard said jail sentences and not merely fines might be expected. He has several cases which will come up shortly. Judge Howard also indicated in his warning an admonition against violations of the parking ordinances. Violations of both the law and the ordinances have been frequent of late. On New Year's morning a number of young fellows drove at top speed up and down Center-st by way of celebrating the advent of 1922. Broadway is the other favorite speedway within the city limits. The general laws of 1917 of the state provide for a speed limit of 15 miles an hour in cities and incorporated villages, regardless of local ordinances in the matter. Drivers going the limit of 30 miles an hour in country places—with a maximum of 35 when there is a clear view ahead or 400 feet or more—are warned slow down before getting to the limits. Misleading Publicity, Water, Injures Anaheim Do you want to help the city overcome the misreceived and harmful publicity growing out of the flooding of the river? Write the paper in question, asking them to lead stories. R. J. Dugdale of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ace received a letter from his mother in Graniteville, Mass., in says: "I note in today's paper that Anaheim is under water and it is still raining. Let me know as soon whether or not you are all right and if there is any dam home." The paper printing the story probably was Courler-Citizen, and the story undoubtedly was a display by one of the recognized news services. Every property-owner in the Anaheim district may see seemingly inspired misleading accounts in certain following the recent heavy rains. There was nothing to situation to warrant anything of the kind. Simmered down to the facts, the true situation was after five years of comparatively light winter rains were bunched, greatly to the delight of ranchers, of the unusually heavy Rainfall, the water overflowed where there was practically no embankment. A dozen time could have stopped the surplus storm water. This water, following the natural decline, worked toward the ocean, tho it is doubtful if there was sufficient to have reached there. Some of the water run over lying streets of Anaheim to a depth of a few inches, was it two feet deep. There was no water in the bushes nor anywhere near it. The nearest point to the bushes was the corner of Olive and Center-st where it came meringing the street, being readily confined to the gutters. City Manager O. E. Steward and other leading there was only a small fraction the storm water this time flowed in 1916. Anaheim's "flood sufferers" came this flood without even so much as drowning a chicken. Recent rainy weather will be forgotten long before the fortunate enough to have received a rich coating of groves have ceased to enjoy the benefits. Tell the folks back east that we're still alive and will raise this year the biggest orange crop in the high valencia industry. BURCH TESTIMONY Need $42.50 M top speed up and down Center-st by way of celebrating the advent of 1922. Broadway is the other favorite speedway within the city limits. The general laws of 1917 of the state provide for a speed limit of 15 miles an hour in cities and incorporated villages, regardless of local ordinances in the matter. Drivers going the limit of 30 miles an hour in country places—with a maximum of 35 when there is a clear view ahead or 400 feet or more—are warned slow down before getting to the limits. The maximum penalty is $500 or six months in county jail or both. The statute also forbids parking "in front of the lobby or entrance of any theatre, motion picture house, church or public hall" during gatherings therein, and also in front of the entrance of any building used by the fire department to house vehicles or equipment or within ten feet of the prolongation of the sides of such entrance, unless there is "an unobstructed space or clearance for a distance of not less than 25 feet between such entrance and such street." In the case of their own building, drivers of fire department vehicles are exempt. Alleys under 30 feet wide must be kept clear, except when trucks etc. are being loaded or unloaded. Driveways also must be kept clear. MAN SUED BY GIRLS PREPARE TO FIGHT Samuel Hasley, former noting city marshal of Brea, who was made defendant in four damage actions totalling $30,000 because he arrested young women and a man at sea recently on liquor charges which they alleged were false, took his first defensive step when he filled a demurrier to each of the suits. Hasley has retained the services of Ames and McFadden, Anaheim, and Marks and Launer, of Fullerton. The suits against Hasley were brot by the Misses Gertrude Brasher, of San Francisco, Bertha Crump of Santa Ana, Mary McIntyre, of Orange, and Alexander Payse of Anaheim. They complained of false arrest and each asked $7,500 damages. In connection with the incident, which resulted in the dismissal of charges against the four plaintiffs after they had been held a brief time in the county jail and later appeared in recorder's court at Drea, Miss McIntyre issued a statement which indicated that Hasley mistook their party as being a part of another party which was arrested at the same time on liquor charge and which paid fines in court. 4 AUTOS SMASHED IN TWO COLLISIONS BURCH TESTIMONY MAY CLOSE TODAY LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4. As setting that the evidence has established that he is sane, Arthur C. Burch, on trial for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, today demanded that his attorneys put him on the witness stand to tell his story. Burch declared that he was ready to tell from the stand where he was and what he did from noon until midnight on the day of the murder, a statement which he has persistently refused to make since his arrest. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4. With the possibility that the taking of testimony may be completed by tonight and the final arguments to the jury started tomorrow, District Attorney Woolwine today brot up his big guns for a final salve of shots at the insanity defense of Arthur C. Burch, on trial for the murder of J. Belton Keunedy. Dr. Louis Webber, star alienist for the prosecution, reported to Woolwine that Burch was "faking" insanity by wearing a "mask of mirth," was expected to be one of the first witnesses called when the trial was resumed. Dr. Orbison and Dr. Parkin, the two other prosecution experts, were ready to follow Dr. Webber on the stand. The last link in the chain of circumstantial evidence against Burch was to be forged by Woolwine today with the testimony of Mrs. James Warren, banker's wife and society woman of Santa Barbara, whose late appearance in the trial was caused by illness. Mrs. Warren, was prepared to testify that she conversed with Burch on the train to Los Angeles and that Burch told her he was coming to this city to "get" a man if that man did not treat a certain woman friend of his right. ORANGE RESIDENT BURCH WITNESS J.E. Vaughn, of Orange, who is a witness in the Burch trial now in progress in Los Angeles, as a shotgun expert went to that city this morning.

Vaughn, of Orange, who is a witness in the Burch trial now in progress in Los Angeles, as a shotgun expert, went to that city this morning or less comfortable because of the loss of his overcoat, which was stolen from his automobile last evening. He left the coat in the car while in a store a few moments and when he came out it was gone. As he had to leave for Los Angeles early this morning, before the clothing stores opened, he could vouch for a drop in temperature. Mr. Vaughn recently filed suit against a physician in Burbank on behalf of his son, Rayburn Vaughn, who was injured in a collision between an automobile and his motorcycle, while in the performance of his duties as special officer at the Tournament of Roses Jan. 1, 1921. A broken arm it is alleged, under his treatment is left in a permanently crippled condition through improper treatment. Young Vaughn was in the hospital several weeks and has had two subsequent operations in the effort to straighten his arm.

V. W. Hannum, city power super-intendent, stated today that city wells Nos. 1 and 2 today showed the water level at 79.8 feet from the surface, a raise of six feet nine inches since Dec. 1. Hannum is elated over this early raise in the level, as charts in the city engineer's office show there has been a steady decline in the level since 1918, when the city first start- ed to keep records. The highest level in 1918 was 53 feet and the lowest was 76. In 1919 the high was 60 and the low 76, a drop of 16 feet. In 1920 there was a first low mark of 74, a climb to 67 and a drop to 80. In 1921 there was a first low of 81, a climb to 72 and a drop to 86. Hannum and City Engineer Clydo Butler do not believe the present rise to 79.8 is directly due to the recent rains. They think it is due to the fill- ing up of the underground reservoir because of less pumping. 290 New Water Meters Installed Last Year During the calendar year 1921 290 new water meters were installed and 408 new electric light connections were made, B. W. Hammum, superintendent of power, announced this afternoon. These increases are considerably more than 1920 showed, he said. The number of gallons of water pumped was 243,215,796. New electric power connections numbered 34. The aggregate of water meters in town up to Jan. 1 was 1860; light connections, 2138; electric power connections, 183. November with 39, October with 45 and September with six were the best months for new installations, respectively.

Mr. Riley has been driving a car for the past 14 years, averaging about 100 miles a day, and this is the first time he has ever been pinched, and he never hit anyone in his life, he states. He has always prided himself on being a very careful driver. He has speeded a few times before, he admits, but this is the first time he ever got caught. ROBBERS BOUND SHERIFF’S STAFF SEEKS LOST GIRL Sheriff C. E. Jackson and his deputies have begun a search for another girl of Orange-co who has disappeared. She is Grace Chandler, 17-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. W. Chandler. Chandler is foreman of a ranch about four miles west of the city. The girl has not been seen since last Friday morning, when she went with three girl friends to visit a fifth girl, Miss Anna Stolte, whose home is on a ranch near the county hospital. The four walked the distance. On returning they walked to the state highway together where Miss Chandler’s friends turned toward Orange, while she started toward Anaheim. That was the last seen of her, says the father. Chandler hasn’t the remotest idea, he declares, what motive, if any, the girl would have had not to return home.

The girl has not been seen since last Friday morning, when she went with three girl friends to visit a fifth girl, Miss Anna Stolte, whose home is on a ranch near the county hospital. The four walked the distance. On returning they walked to the state highway together where Miss Chandler's friends turned toward Orange, while she started toward Anaheim. That was the last seen of her, says the father. Chandler hasn't the remotest idea, he declares, what motive, if any, the girl would have had not to return home. She was quiet and apparently contented and never been away from home before. She is known in Orange, where she worked for an uncle for some time. She wore a plush coat, plaid skirt, middy blouse, black sport hat with streamers, and oxford. She is about five feet, three inches tall, weighs about 118 pounds they say; and is a brunette, with very dark hair. She had no other clothing with her and no money.

BUILDING TRADES STRIKE IN CHICAGO CHICAGO, Jan. 4. — Union members of five of Chicago's leading building trade went on strike today.

Work was stopped on a number of other projects. June Moon, fox trot, at Austin's. CAMPAIGN STARTS FOR RIVER PROTECTION FUND One Committee Cleans Up Its District Before Noon; Every Rancher Subscribes J. H. Brunsworth and Allen F. Withce, C. of C. committee assigned to district 17 in the solicitation today for a $40,000 river protection fund, had interviewed every one of the ten or a dozen ranchers they were supposed to see, had obtained a desirable subscription from each and had turned the cash into headquarters by noon. Other committees reported only slightly less flattering results. There were practically no refusals to subscribe. The guarantee that no subscriptions are binding and that the subscribers are to determine how the money is to be expended, has removed any tendency toward objection. Secretary Falcom Fraser, of the C. of C., stated. The only thing that might jeopardise the campaign was the default of the canvasers. Charles Eygabroad, chairman of the finance committee on permanent flood control, today issued this statement to district captains and assistants: "I want to make it plain that the Chamber of Commerce is not in a position to find relief workers for those who claim to be too busy to do their district assignment. Some have already attempted to make the excuse that this is a busy week and that they cannot qualify. In such cases, please get a reliable substitute and see that he is on the job every minute until the work is done." Alarm Clock’s Early Habits Explained Here's the scientific explanation of why the alarm clock goes off so early in the morning: Clocks run faster at night than in the daytime. W. W. Campbell, director of Lick observatory of the University of California, in his annual report to the president of the university, announced that R. H. Tucker, an observatory astronomer, has made this startling discovery regarding time pieces. "The ultimate cause of the phenomenon is obscure," the report states, but an exhaustive program of observation so far has borne out the hypothetical conclusion that clocks run faster at night than in daytime. CHARLES EYGABROAD, chairman of the finance committee on permanent flood control, today issued this statement to district captains and assistants: "I want to make it plain that the Chamber of Commerce is not in a position to find relief workers for those who claim to be too busy to do their district assignment. Some have already attempted to make the excuse that this is a busy week and that they cannot qualify. In such cases, please get a reliable substitute and see that he is on the job every minute until the work is done. I feel very hopeful that we will raise the necessary amount of money and be able to turn it over to the committee that the subscribers will appoint to carry out the work, but this cannot be done unless every man accepts the responsibility imposed upon him. This is a most serious duty and should not be side-stepped by anybody. Even if you had to pay a reliable man to do your part, you will be doing very little in view of the great confidence in Anaheim that the completion of a permanent flood control will give us. All the members of the Finance committee, and myself have undertaken to do our share of the soliciting, as well as many hours' work necessary to get the campaign started, and I believe I am as busy as any man in town. But, I appreciate the value of this work to my business, and yours, sufficiently to shoulder a little more than what would ordinarily be my share. I would like to have you do likewise." About $5,000 has been actually subscribed, the C. of C. announced today. All districts should be covered by five o'clock tomorrow evening, the Chamber added. The rights of way committee at a meeting today obtained the signature of Dr. H. A. Johnston, Dr. Johnston had been too busy to take up the matter before. All signatures are now in. ANAHEIM'S NEWEST MOTOR CO. OPENED Anaheim's newest motor agency, the Golden State Motor Co., was moving into its fine home on So. Los Angeles-st, the Samuel Kraemer garage-bldg, which has been temporarily occupied by the Bulk agency. The Golden State Motor Co. is composed of four local men. Walter Hodges, one of the four, is manager. The company has the agency for the Hupmobile. Hodges, who has a three-year lease, has subleased a part of the building under desirable arrangements. The Orange-co Reality Co. now located next the postoffice, will take the south front display window. Back of that will be five offices 1x14 all of which have been rented. J. Lloyd, realtor, takes one; his son, Nathan, insurance broker, another; C.E. Phillips, auto insurance broker; J. Paul Taggart, auto contract fi-than in the daytime. W. W. Campbell, director of Lick observatory of the University of California, in his annual report to the president of the university, announced that R. H. Tucker, an observatory astronomer, has made this startling discovery regarding time pieces. "The ultimate cause of the phenomenon is obscure," the report states, but an exhaustive program of observation so far has borne out the hypothetical conclusion that clocks run faster at night than in daytime. The discovery is of vast importance to astronomers who depend upon clock corrections. 198 FEET FRONTAGE OFFERED FOR $1.05 The final legal proceedings on the extension of Chartes-st tomorrow morning when there has been advertised an auction sale of five parcels of realty on which assessments for the improvement have not been paid. The assessment has been paid on one of these tracts and payments on three others were expected today. The fifth parcel is a strip along the north side of Chartes-st one foot 11inches wide and 189 feet, due to a flaw in a deed at some time. City maps show it belongs to the Bank of America, a longtime defunct institution of Los Angeles. So far as local officials are able to learn all officers of the bank are dead. The assessment against the strip is $1.05. It is probable that it will be purchased by the Catholic Sisters, giving them frontage on Chartes-st. One of the awards made by the commissioners was $750 to the Bank of America for a lot taken in forming the street. Since the bank is no more, it is probable the $750 will be distributed among those assessed for the improvement.
