For instance, upwards of 300 Kiwanians and their ladies and guests. They proved it for a few hours last night, when the clubs of Fullerton, Santa Ana and Anaheim celebrated at the Elks club house the seventh anniversary of the founding of the order. Similar celebrations were in progress all over the nation. J. H. Clayes made the arrangements with the visiting clubs. A good dinner, funny speeches and dancing compared the injustice. Woman and Baby Die 12 Hurt In Fire NEW YORK, Jan. 27 — A woman and an 18-month-old baby perished, 12 others were injured, and 25 persons were carried down ladders by firemen from a burning four-story Brooklyn tenement house today. Eight families occupied the house. The dead are: Mrs. Emma Rundell, 43, and George Obermeyer, 18 months old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Obermeyer. COMPLAIN PEOPLE DON'T STAY HOME To hasten the collection of the rest of the $40,000 water protection fund, the committee in charge today issued a request that families liable as subscribers have somebody at home when the district captains or other canvassers call.

Eygabroad's report property owners and Who would be a boy or girl again? All sorts of folks. For instance, upwards of 200 Kiwantans and their ladies and guests. They proved it for a few hours last night, when the clubs of Fullerton, Santa Ana and Anaheim celebrated at the Eiks club house the seventh anniversary of the founding of the order. Simuial celebrations were in progress all over the nation. J. H. Clayes made the arrangements with the visiting clubs. A good dinner, funny speeches and dancing composed the backbone of the jellification, but there were minin's and trimmin's and trimmin's. Everybody was a king or queen for a night including the waitresses, "Billy" Wickett who acted as toastmaster, and P. H. Mattner, yell leader of Santa Ana. Every sconce and head wore a paper crown, dressed just after the donna began, and the dining hall in a jiffy became a maze of bright color. Then, on top of that toy balloons were distributed, and the din begin. The tables were prettily adorned with amabil and heather, and the stage with a big banner and potted ferns. Fullerton and Santa Ana sent delegations almost as large as that furnished by Anaheim. In fact, it is still a mystery to many how the club on short notice was able to look after the surplus guests as well as it did. There was comparatively little delay, and the crowd was too good-natured to mind it, anyhow. There were no regular toasts at the table, but there was something just as good in the shape of yells for one club after another. Yell Leader Mattner added to his attire by mounting the stage, and the way Santa Ana went to it under his guidance was an eye-opener to Anaheimers and Fullertonians. Also there were songs during the feasting, and a good brand of music by Fellinge's orchestra. When everybody had been served, the crowd got up and played Ring around a Rosie about the room, everybody getting into line, even their honors, the Mayors. This gave Steward Frank A. Rice a chance to clear the chairs away and prepare for the speaking, which followed. "We don't act this way at our weekly meetings," said Billy Wickett, in partial explanation to the ladies. Billy had been deserted by Bill Wallop, chairman of the local Kiwantans, and the speakers of the evening, but didn't seem to mind it at all. He introduced as the first speaker Freeman H. Bloodgood of Santa Ana, who said he was "delighted to get back into the realms of childhood." He reminded the Fullerton and Anaheim Kiwantans of the hoary age reached by his club in comparison with theirs. And he reminded everybody within reach of his voice of the fortunate situation, materially speaking, in which they found themselves, with a soil which reproduced its assessed COMPLAIN PEOPLE DON'T STAY HOME To hasten the collection of the rest of the $40,000 water protection fund, the committee in charge today issued a request that families liable as subscribers have somebody at home when the district captains or other canvassers call. Repeated calls have found nobody home in many cases, and subjected canvassers and special cleanup squad to a good deal of extra work. Preferably, the committee would like to have prospects send in or bring in their subscriptions to the rooms of the C. of C. as soon as possible, so that a good showing may be made tomorrow afternoon, when results again are checked up. Among the recent substantial subscriptions is that of Mrs. W. T. Me Allister, who agreed to send $540, covering her 108 acres, by tomorrow. RAID FOOTHILL HOTEL FOR BOOZE LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27.—Raiding the Hotel Westmoreland, located in the foothills, one and one-half miles off the main boulevard near Sawtelelle Chief Prohibition Agent Doyle and Agents Wheeler, O'Leary and Mosher arrested—the proprietor, a former mounted traffic officer declared to be employed as house detective, a wafter and host of a party of guests at the place. Following the raiding of the hotel Agents Wheeler and Doyle, seeking to find a liquor cache they believed located there, remained at the resort until daylight today, when they conducted a search of the buildings and grounds. STARTS WEST WITH KIDNAPED BOY CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—Chicago detectives dashed toward Ogden, Utah, today with a warrant charging Miss Frances MacLane with kidnapping George B. Robbins II, 3 years old. The boy as the grandson of George B. Robbins, for years a vice president of Armour & Co., and son of Cutter H. Robbins, capitalist. The warrant for Miss MacLane, who is pretty and 22, was sworn out by the child's mother, Mrs. Mary Robbins, former Follies chorus girl, who was divorced by the father. Miss MacLane's mad race to the coast with the child was interrupted when she was taken off the train at Ogden at the instance of Chicago authorities. Detectives then started out to serve the warrent. At the same time, according to members o fthe Robbins family here, the father left San Francisco for Ogden to obtain the release of Miss MacLane. The divorced Mrs. Robbins stated that Miss MacLane was given permission to serve during that week.

He introduced as the first speaker Freman H. Bloodgood of Santa Ana, who said he was "delighted to get back into the realms of childhood." He reminded the Fullerton and Anaheim Kiwanians of the hotty age reached by his club in comparison with theirs. And he reminded everybody within reach of his voice of the fortune situation, materially speaking, in which they found themselves, with a soil which reproduced its assessed valuation each year, at climate with hardly a flaw, and the mountains and ocean within easy distance. Wickett, in response, said that the streets of Santa Ana, it was said had been cowpaths originally (and it was just that way now) and Santa Ana still could furnish plenty of "bull" on occasion. When he saw Bloodgood at table, he said, he didn't know whether Freeman was blowing up the balloon or the Balloon Freeman. For a change, the Santa Ana club sang "Mary's Lamb," with its touching chorus: "You'll lose your lamb, you'll lose your lamb, Mary, you'll lose your lamb, O Mary, you'll lose your lamb. You'll lose your lamb, O Mary you'll lose your lamb." Bloodgood's talk was supposed to last five minutes, like those of S. C. Hartranft of Anaheim and Dale King of Fullerton. Hartranft said that if he were not a Rotarian, he'd like to be a Kiwanian. He said a certain newspaper had compared the principles of Kiwanis with radium, in that both worked silently, but effectively and where most needed. The teammaster congratulated him this speech, and said he must have been a Kiwanian at some time. (Continued to page Six) A laugh in every line, "Professor's Dilemma," Grand Theatre, Feb. 1st.

KELLEY NOW FACES SUIT FOR DAMAGES Leonard Kelley, 24, of Fullerton, recently sentenced to 90 days in the county jail on a charge of failing to stop and render aid after an auto collision today faced a civil suit grow Nearly all the directors of the Chamber of Commerce appeared at the Elks' club today for their regular weekly meeting. Chairman Eygabroad of the finance committee, permanent flood control, and Messra Killey, Ross, Ahlborn and Berger agreed to attend a meeting at Richfield Monday night, next, at which plans are to be made for furnishing permanent flood control, as an extension to Anaheim's piece. Mr. Eygabroad's report showed that property owners and merchants in Anaheim have so far borne the brunt of the financial campaign for flood control but he hopes that the outside districts will rally to the cause during he closing days, so that they may equal the good faith shown for the enterprise by Anaheim, within the city limits. Mr. La Mont stated that some months ago this chamber inaugurated the system of garbage collection in Anaheim with the understanding that the city trustees would take it over as soon as it became efficient. The city fathers have shown their good faith and it now remains for merchants to avail themselves of free disposal for their garbage. Mr. La Mont suggested that merchants who do not understand the schedule and other arrangements for this disposal should take the matter up with Mr. Steward's office and get real information. He thought the fire hazard in the city would be considerably lessened by general cooperation with the service now rendered by the city. Chairman Riley and Mr., Ahlborn reported that the last meeting of the Associated Chambers proved to be one of great importance in many ways. Mr. Ahlborn reported that the petition for city extension is now in the hands of city authorities. The communication requesting information as to the desirability of Anaheim as a site for a shock-absorber factory was referred to the committee of industries John Ruether, chairman. By unanimous vote, it was decided to refer all solicitors for moneys, for various causes, commercial and charitable, to Mr. Herman H. Noll; secretary of Anaheim Merchants Protective Assn. 60 FURNITURE MEN OF COUNTY CONFER Fully 60 furniture dealers from Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana and Long Beach were present last evening at a banquet given in James Cafe, Santa Ana, by the wholesale merchants of San Francisco.

G. Bullock, an independent oil operator, who desired to secure lease of not less than 1000 acres in that vicinity. Mr. Bullock has an option on the Lesser's lease, which constitutes between 300 and 350 acres, and he contemplates starting activities at once if the additional 1000 acres may be secured. He has unlimited capital, he assured the ranchers, but does not wish to start developing if he is hampered by limited area. The ranchers asked for a week in which to consider his proposition, when another meeting will be held. Activities in Cypress-Hansen locality are becoming more interesting. The Midway is attempting to secure former Bennett leases and are even offering cash bonus to old leeses. The Dutch Shell and General Petroleum companies are on the ground with renewed operations, and conditions in the locality to the west look very encouraging. The Standard Oil Co. has erected a rig about 2 miles to the southwest and will begin drilling very soon. LEGION WARNS OF FAKE SERVICE MEN The public has been malected enough by fake ex-service men, out selling magazines, pins and badges and other articles, in the opinion of the County Council of the American Legion, which last night, at the regular monthly meeting in Orange, passed resolutions, warning people in communities throughout Orange-co to bear of the claims of such men. Many cases have been ascertained, it was said during the discussion of the matter, of solicitors bearing forged references or testimonials of their identity or character or service record. County Commander William P. Webb, Jr., of Anaheim presided at the meeting, which followed a dinner served by the auxiliary of the Orange post. State Representative W. V. Hart of Orange presided. The resolution consisted principally of a recommendation to each post that it inform the public regarding the impositions mentioned. The public should shun individuals or agents representing themselves to be connected with the Legion or backed by alleged Legion or Veterans' Welfare Board references. H. G. Upham of Orange introduced the resolution and the speakers besides Upham included William Goodrum of Anaheim, Clyde Whitney of Santa Ana; O. E. Dennis and State Representative Hart. There was a prolonged discussion regarding the matter of giving aid to ex-service men, or men representing themselves to begehagged.

FAR IN NORTH, DIDN'T KNOW WAR WAS OVER NOME, Alaska, Jan. 27.—An arctic adventurer, B. D. Seaman, sailed into Nome from the frozen north this month and, not knowing that the war was over, tried to enlist in the American army so he could fight in France. Seaman said he had been three years getting to Nome from the Coronation golf country, which lies far east of Canada's arctic coast, and during his journey had received no news from the outside world. He left the gulf in October, 1918, when he first heard the United States had entered the war. Seaman had been a member of the Royal northwest mounted police. Soon after Seaman started for Nome the small schooner on which he was journeying was wrecked in the ice, he said, and he and his companions were forced to walk 27 days before they came to an Eskimo village.
