NEWS OF FULLERTON BREAK GROUND FOR FULLERTON HOTEL The ground for the $150,000 community hotel on No. Spadra-rd just north of the city hall will be broken tomorrow. Ceremonies will be participated in by representatives of the Fullerton Ebell club, Fullerton Woman's club, the Kiwanis club, the B. of T. and the city trustees. The event is the result of months of effort in the part of the business men of the city, and is expected to mark an epoch in the onward strides of the city's prosperity, coming up to the expectations of those who are behind the "Bigger and Better Fullerton" movement. Hundreds of citizens are expected to be present, and following the ceremonies a crew of men will begin excavation work which it is anticipated will make Fullerton known as having one of the finest hotels in So. Cal. SANTA ANA CLASS LEADS 77 POINTS In the membership and attendance contest between the men's Bible classes of Fullerton and Santa Ana, the latter city reports a lead of 77 points over its competitor as a result of 212 members attending class services Sunday against an attendance of 178 at Fullerton. Fifteen additional members of the Santa Ana class reported too late yesterday to be included in the official attendance. The standing of the two classes at present gives Santa Ana 387 points with 310 for Fullerton, the contest to close March 1, at which time a $25 American flag will be awarded to the winner. LA MIRADA WOMAN SUCCUMBS MONDAY FOUR DECISIONS DO NOT CHANGE WALL An inch-an-a-half strip of concrete, buried beneath the surface of the ground at Fullerton, has just emerged from a trip through the court in the same form as it started, after wasting a generous amount of the time, efforts and serious thought of the state's weightiest judicial brains. This was shown upon receipt of word that the state supreme court had denied a re-hearing in the case of Albert Rothaermal against George rige. Under this ruling the inch-and-a-half strip of concrete, which is attached to the foundation of a building owned by Amerige, need not be shaved off as desired by Rothaermal, who owns the ground above. One superior judge said it should remain as it was. Then another superior judge said it must be removed. The appellate court next had its ruling which was that the strip in question need not be removed. The last decision remained with the supreme court and it agreed with the court of appeals. Thus a deal of legal hub-bub and ill feeling comes to naught. The building owned by Amerige was built so close to the line of Rothaermal's property that, altho inside the boundary above ground, the foundation beneath projected an inch and a half into Rothaermal's soil. Judge W. H. Thomas, then presiding over the superior court, heard the first trial and decided in favor of Amerige. A second trial was held later before Judge R. Y. Williams, who ordered the protruding portion of the foundation removed. The appellate court reversed this ruling on the ground that Rothaermal was not injured by the foundation. Rothaermal then carried the case up to the supreme court but was denied a re-hearing, it is now shown. of 212 members attending class services against an attendance of 178 at Fullerton. Fifteen additional members of the Santa Ana class reported too late yesterday to be included in the official attendance. The standing of the two classes at present gives Santa Ana 387 points with 310 for Fullerton, the contest to close March 1, at which time a $25 American flag will be awarded to the winner. LA MIRADA WOMAN SUCCUMBS MONDAY Mrs. Roy Eberhart, 42, died yesterday following an operation. Mr. Eberhart is an employee at the office of the Standard Oil Co. at La Mirada.

Rotheaermal then carried the case up to the supreme court but was denied a re-hearing, it is now shown. LOW BIRTH RATE CAUSES NOTICE BUENOS AIRES, Jan. 24.—During the seven years since the outbreak of the war, notwithstanding almost complete cessation of emigration, the population of Buenos Aires has increased by over 300,000. In the last decade the growth was over 630,000, a truly astonishing figure, as compared with the census of other capitals. There has been, however, a somewhat disquieting decrease in the birth rate of the city. With a population of 1,692,600, the births were only about 34,000 per annum, whereas in 1914 when the population was much less, these numbered nearly 51,000. In some cases this decrease is attributed to the high cost of living, the great jump in price taken by necessities, it is alleged, has led to a "strike of mothers." KIWANIANS ENDORSE BOY SCOUTS FUNDS The regular weekly meeting of the Fullerton Kiwanis club was held at noon today at the I. O. O. F. hall. There were several popular songs under the direction of Dr. Wickett. Mr. Dye of Santa Ana spoke in favor of the Boy Scouts, asking the Kiwanis to endorse the campaign for funds which will be put on in February by the scouts. This was unanimously done. Five new members were admitted including: Al Rothaermal, J Wester, Lee Bevier, W. Morgan, and Robert Phelps. A.M. Thompson won the attendance prize. Arrangement were made for the club members to come to the big joint Kiwanis meeting of Anaheim, Santa Ana, and Fullerton, and Orange at Anaheim Thursday evening.

FILM MAN IS MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24.—Surgeons at the county hospital fought desperately today to prolong the life of Paul Kramer, assistant director of the Brunton studios, who was shot under mysterious circumstances last night while driving a motor truck in Michelotora street. Kramer's chances of recovery are in doubt, as it was reported that three bullets entered his head and body. Steadfastly denying Kramers charges that she shot him, Mrs. Mattie Hannon, mother-in-law of Kramer, asserted at the city jail, where she is held on suspicion of a felony, that she was at a downtown theater with her daughter, beautiful Mrs. Wilfred Kramer, when the young moving picture director was shot.

ARBUCKLE AGAIN ON WITNESS STAND SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24. — Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle continued today to assume the role of a witness against himself. The state climaxed its case against the rotund comedian, on trial a second time for manslaughter, by reading into the record the entire manuscript of "Fatty's" testimony at his first trial in his own behalf. The state's object is understood to have been threefold. By having his testimony read, the element of surprise of his appearance on the stand was minimized. The prosecution hoped to emphasize certain differences between the blanket denial Arbuckle made of wrong-doing in Los Angeles the evening of Sept. 9, when news of Virginia Rappe's death first reached him, placed in evidence by Warden Woolard, newspaperman, and his own statement on the stand. ANAHEIM MAN BUYS BREA CONFECTIONERY Herbert H. Oelke, associated here with W. F.

AVOCADO GROWERS MEET Orange county avocado growers were today expressing keen interest in the meeting scheduled for next Wednesday afternoon at the Spink orchard near Duarte, at which time Ernest Braunton, horticulturist, for The California Cultivator, will address the growers present on grove methods. The Duarte meeting will be held under the auspices of the Sierra Madre-Duarte-Monrovia farm center. WHAT'S REAL VALUE OF ORANGE TREES? What value do you ranchers place on each of your orange trees? Or did you ever consider the value of your grove in that light—by individual units? If you haven't, or though you have, you might be interested in the way A. W. McPherson, La Habra grower, fixed the value of his trees in presenting a damage bill to his neighbor, J. Clem Arnold. It might also be interesting to note to what extent Superior Judge R. Y. Williams agrees with McPherson in this valuation, if he agrees at all. McPherson's damage bill, based on his allegation that Arnold was responsible for accumulation of waste water on McPherson's property, was today placed before Judge R. Y. Williams for the latter's approval, modification or rejection, as the court may decide. McPherson charges that because Arnold's land has an insufficient and inadequate system of ditches, the waste water has been allowed to accumulate on McPherson's place, doing a total damage of $9,900 to trees, land and crops. Arnold, however, denies any responsibility for the damage. He uses no more water, be claims than is necessary to irrigate his own trees, and this is supplied, he maintains, in the customary manner of the La Habra Water company which serves that district. A value of $50 is placed on each of the 75 trees which McPherson charges up as a total loss. He asks $25 each for 50 more trees, claimed to be partially damaged. Some of the other items on his damage bill are: Depreciation of land because of soured soil, $3,000; failure of cover crops and washing away of fertilizer, $1,000; loss of crops, $1,000.
