Cal. flew down from Los Angeles to assist in the celebration. The trip is said to be the first of its kind in America. It marks the inauguration of a campaign by the aircrafters to demonstrate to the public that adequate and conveniently located landing fields are essential to the development of commercial aviation. Flying over Anaheim, the aviators stopped dodgers containing the following: "Listen, folks! We're flying to Santa Ana—to talk over a new municipal landing field for aircraft, which they are establishing. Why don't you get your chamber of commerce awake to the wonderful possibilities of aviation? Aircraft can make Southern California as automobiles made Detroit. Get busy! You need a municipal landing field! We represent the commercial Aircraft Association of Southern California, 408 Title Guarantee building, in Los Angeles, and will do all in our power to see that aviation progresses, but we need your help. If you'll get busy—we'll show you how. It was airplane day today in Santa Ana. And it may be airplane day tomorrow or in the near future in Anaheim. Fullerton, or Whittier. Ten machines bearing 26 men of the Commercial Aircraft Association of Southern California arrived from Los Angeles at 11:30 this morning in the interest of the establishment of a landing field and were entertained at St. Ann's Inn. The aviators were met at Queen Young field by a reception committee headed by President Alex Brownridge of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce. The visitors were headed by Roy Gradle, president of the association. Gradle told interviewers that airport were developing as fast as automobiles, and the time was not far off when each individual would own his own plane the same as his car. Gradle declared that lack of flying fields was the most serious obstacle in the development of the sport in Southern California. Similar flights will be arranged if possible to Whittier, Anaheim and Fullerton. Glen marion of Santa Ana greeted the visitors at the field. At the luncheon in St. Ann's Inn, Martin spoke on the opportunity which was presented of making Santa Ana a government airport for the use of the postoffice department or the army or both. President Brownridge of the Chamber of Commerce presided. The visiting party included President Gradle and Secretary G. W. Carr; Frank Clarke, Frank Tomick, Reginald Balmer, Howard Patterson, Gene Dowis, W. E. Kinner, PORTLAND, PACIFIC COAST LEAGUERS, MEET ELKS SUNDAY The biggest baseball event of the season will be pulled off at the high school field Sunday when the Anaheim Elks will clash with the Portland team of Pacific Coast league. Manager Billy Knott of the Elks has been negotiating for several days to bring the Portland athletes from their spring training camp at Pasadena. The Portland team was willing to take on the locals but wanted them to trek to the Crown City. Knott was finally able to announce today that the Portland crew would agree to come to Anaheim. The game will cost considerable money but Knott believes the fans will appreciate the offering and turn out in even larger number than for the fast series with the Alexander Giants. The same lineup that will open the cost league schedule for Portland will be brot to Anaheim Sunday by Manager Bill Kenworthy. The famous Indian athlete, Jim Thorpe, will prove a big attraction. Supporters of the Anaheim Elks team have long contended that the locals would make it interesting for a coast league aggregation. Sunday it will develop just how interesting it can be made for Portland, which has a very promising team this year. Portland last Sunday defeated Pasadent Elks, oldtime butanquished rivals of the Anaheim crew. Both Hughes and Salveson, Elk moundsmen are working out this week for the big event. VICTIM SLASHED BY GIRL'S FATHER CHICAGO, March 22. — Chicago was startled today by the sensational revelation that a crime had been committed similar to the attack made by the late "Jack" Cudahy upon the notorious Jere Lillis, which proved the nine days' wonder of the scandal-loving world more than a decade ago. Two mysterious assailants entered the home of John Silk, aged 46, threw him on the bathroom floor and mutilated him with the blade of a pocketknife. Silk is a married man and a member of the church. Intimation was given by the assailants that the man they mutilated had been passing under an assumed name and that the cause for their action was connected with his treatment of an unknown girl. STATE INSPECTION OF FRUIT ENOUGH Re-inspection of citrus fruit by ANAHEIM WOMAN INJURED BY AUTO Mrs. Nora Crowley, of the Ballon court, on West Center-st., was run down by an automobile yesterday afternoon at the corner of Center and Los Angeles-st., suffering injuries about the head. Mrs. Crowley was taken at once to the Anaheim hospital where several stitches were taken to close the wound. It is stated that she started to cross the street, stopped, then started again, which confused the driver of the car. When she was knocked over by her car her head struck the pavement, resulting in a cut of the face. She was dazed and not nothing, but called for help. When her mind cleared, she stated that she did not see the car until it struck her. She was reported to be improving this morning. The driver of the car which struck her, and his wife, were returning to their home in Los Angeles from Hot Springs, where they had been because of ill health. Witman, eyesight specialist. THE THERMOMETER Minimum 48½ at 7 a.m. Maximum 76 at 2 p.m. STATE INSPECTION OF FRUIT ENOUGH Re-inspection of citrus fruit by federal officials will not take place hereafter, if such fruit bears the inspection seal of the California Dept. of Agri., G. H. Hecke, head of the department, announces. More than 15,000 cars of orange alone hitherto have been inspected by federal officials. Much time has been lost in such re-inspections and a saving of thousands of dollars is expected now to be effected. The innovation follows a conference in Washington-between W. G. Campbell, chief of the bureau of chemistry, and R. W. Hilts, chief of the western district. BEGIN WALLS FOR HARTMAN BLOCK The foundation work has been completed for the business block and apartment house on Center-st just east of the Anaheim Union Water Co.

INVENTOR FIGHTS TO PROTECT PATENT Alleging that certain interests are infringing upon his patents on the Cook automatic rider and blocker, a device used in irrigation work, J. M. Cook, foreman of the Sophie M. Rimpau ranch at South Palm street and Broadway, is preparing to enforce his rights.

SEVERAL CITIES TO VOTE APRIL 11TH Candidates for city offices in various Orange-co. cities which hold elections April 10 lineup as follows: Anaheim—Frank N. Gibba, Canh. H. Mann, Albert H. Pape, Reuben R. Pember, E. H. Metcalf, W. P. Quarron and Gedrey J. Stock, Mann and Gibbs are present incumbents. Fullerton—Roy R. Davin, George Annn, Guiman Hoppe et W. A. Moore At a most important meeting of the Anaheim Flood Control committee, held in the Chamber of Commerce offices yesterday afternoon, a plan for the protection work was decided upon. The entire afternoon was devoted to the discussion of various methods of levee construction. Mr. Steward and engineers from the railroad companies, who are cooperating in the work, were present and their advice and suggestions were of great help to the committee in arriving at a definite decision in the matter. The committee had before it plans and specifications and estimates of cost of different forms of flood control work. Models, made to scale, of two forms of construction were also presented to the committee for their consideration, one of them being a miniature replica of the first plan calling for two rows of piling with woven wire with check dams or cross fences every ninety-eight feet. The other model, made in detail, showed construction of the plank-wall type; one row of piling with planks on an additional row of piling with woven wire in front. Both forms included the sand dike or embankment behind on the land-side of the rows of piling. The plan, as now devised and adopted by the Flood Control committee, is what could be termed a compromise between the plank construction and the wire construction and is a combination of the best features of flood control work that it has been possible for the committee, with the assistance of the engineers, to devise. It calls for a concentration of effort upon one row of piling, these piling to be set closer together than in the other plans, with planking on them four feet under the ground level and two feet above, woven wire to extend from the planking to the top of the piling. Cross fences of planking and wire will be built at right angles to the embankment, and extending from the embankment to the piling, and will be placed every forty-eight feet along the entire milieu and a half of work. The top of the embankment, which will be sixteen feet wide, will be used as a road and from this road will be dumped runbish, etc., which will eventually fill the space between the embankment and the row of piling with its planks and wire. An additional roadway on the land side and along the embankment will be made possible by building the levee toward the river from the right of way a distance enough to allow for such a road. This will allow for the passing of trucks and teams, which would not be possible with only one road. It is the intention to bore holes for all piling and to set or anchor them in concrete. The lumber and piling will be of the best grades of redwood or cedar. Collections of the fund have been progressing fairly well, considering the fact that all payments of sub- INVENTOR RIGHTS TO PROTECT PATENT Alleging that certain interests are infringing upon his patents on the Cook automatic rider and blocker, a device used in irrigation work, J. M. Cook, foreman of the Sophie M. Rimau ranch at South Palm street and Broadway, is preparing to enforce his rights. Cook says that a local attorney represents manufacturers who are represented in this city. A number of manufacturers have been making the contrivance for about a year past. Cook has 150 of his machines in the field in the Anaheim district, he declares. His home is at 149 South Lemon street. His patents extend back to 1918, and he has various patents pending besides those granted. The ridger and blocker is a single device, but two patents were taken out to cover it, one No. 1270537, for the corner finisher for irrigation dated June 25, 1918, and the other, a dumping and scraper attachment, No. 1279273, on Sept. 17, 1918. These patents cover features of dumping scrapers, locally called ridgers and blockers. Cook threatens to enforce his rights unless these new making, using and selling his devices immediately discontinue and account to him for past infringement and damages. The inventor has been here for six years as ranch foreman. For about five and one-half years he was foreman of the Red Mountain ranch at Falbrook, San Diego county, and for about a year foreman of the Strong ranch at Whittier. He also has worked on the Chapman and other ranches. POLICE WARNED OF BAD CHECK ARTICLES The local police have issued a notice from the constable Covina warning them to look out for a bad check artist who claims to be an advertising man, has a pleasing appearance, goes well-dressed and possibly has a car. His custom is to make a small deposit with a bank, make purchases of kodaks, clothing, groceries, dry goods, pays room rent in advance, buys goods and makes small deposit, to call Saturday when he gets his pay-check and pay balance due. He calls Saturday with a phone pay check, and if turned down offers his own check. He is said to be about 25 years old. The constable warns: "He is a bad hombre; take no chances with him." A reward of $20 is offered for his arrest.

LAMBERT BEQUEATHS SEVERAL MILLIONS PASADENA,March 22—Bequests of several millions were made by the late Colonel Lambert of Pasadena and Joilet Ill., according to the will filed for probate in Joilet.Trust funds of $450,000 each are given for the benefit of the widow,Mary E.Lambert,and a daughter Anna Lambert Thompson.Mrs.Thompson also gets the mansion on South Orange Grove-ave,and her husband,Harry L.Thompson.is given $50,000.The rest of the estate,said to amount to several millions,they are divided equally and wire. An additional roadway on the land side and along the embankment will be made possible by building the levee toward the river from the right of way's distance enough to allow for such a road. This will allow for the passing of trucks and teams, which would not be possible with only one road. It is the intention to bore holes for all piling and to set or anchor them in concrete. The lumber and piling will be of the best grades of redwood or cedar. Collections of the fund have been progressing fairly well, considering the fact that all payments of subscriptions to date have come in through efforts of the subscribers themselves and on statements mailed by the committee to each subscriber. The committee in charge of the work, however, wishes to inform the public that an additional effort on its part to get the cash into the fund will be necessary at this time, for no progress can be made toward starting actual construction work until the entire fund is on hand. The committee wishes to eliminate any possibility of having to make a recavass of the territory for the money, such as was done for the subscriptions, for this would entail considerable expense, time and effort on the part of a large number of workers who have already donated not only cash but much valuable time. It is the intention to make such a drive should the response to the appeal for payment of subscriptions not be large. All funds should be in the bank by Tuesday of next week, at which time the committee will have to take action as to the proper way of handling the situation. The committee still needs the cooperation of the subscribers and asks them to give their support by getting their money in as soon as possible. The call for bids on material and labor will be obtained as soon as the money is on hand to justify. Subscriptions can be paid to Miss Persen, at the Chamber of Commerce offices and receipt obtained.

He asserted this was the first liquor he had made, although he showed apparent confusion on this point when questioned by the officials. He said he would never make any more. He denied having sold any. Altho Jackson and Ballard have slezed a number of stills, this is the first one they had found in operation. They were surprised they said, at the comparatively rapid flow of the liquor from the spiral. "The stuff is now selling for about $10 a gallon wholesale," says Jackson."Formerly, it brot $8 a quart but competition has developed. We have about cleaned up things in the county outside the cities.I know of only three places under suspicion now. It is the duty of every citizen to report anything suspicious.I am glad to see a move toward enforcement of the law in all parts of the country. There is no doubt that sentiment is keener now for law enforcement than ever before and the government is going after things in earnest.I regret that some city officials have displayed no inclination to enforce the law." ALL U.S.FLEET IN PACIFIC WASHINGTON, March 22.-President Harding demanded of Congress today that it appropriate enough money to maintain an American navy up to the maximum strength authorized under the arms conference treaties. Word went out from the White House to the capitol that there must be kept in commission an 18-battleship fleet, with all auxiliaries,and properly manned to give the fleet the highest efficiency. This will require an enlisted strength of about 86,000 men and 3200 officers. If the naval cut goes thru in spite of Harding the whole U.S.fleet will be concentrated in the Pacific. Simultaneously with the demand of Harding a determined fight was started today by administration leaders to prevent the proposed slashing of the navy personnel to 65,000 men.

S. fleet will be concentrated in the Pacific. Simultaneously with the demand of Harding a determined fight was started today by administration leaders to prevent the proposed slashing of the navy personnel to 65,000 men. Representative Vare, Republican, of Pennsylvania, served notice that as a member of the house appropriations committee, he would vigorously oppose any reduction below 86,000. Backed by many house Republicans, he declared that if he was unsuccessful in preventing the subcommittee in charge of the naval appropriations bill from recommending a personnel of 65,000 that he would carry the fight to the floor of the house. A special message by the president is considered probable to seize success in the fight to keep naval strength to the maximum. Information from London and from Tokio, combined with a survey of the naval situation of the United States today, shows that it the appropriations committee of the house should be successful in reducing the personnel of the American navy to 65,000 the results would be as follows: 1. The ratio of five for British, five for the United States and three for Japan, as set forth in the naval limitation treaty signed by the recent Washington conference would be changed in practice to five for Britain, three and a half for the United States and a little bit more than three and a half for Japan. 2. The whole effective fighting bulk of the American fleet would have to be concentrated in the Pacific at Panama and along our western coast and at Hawaii in order to face all possible dangers from Japan and there would be virtually no American fleet at all in the Atlantic along the coasts of our eastern states. 3. The navy yards at Philadelphia, at New York and at Boston would be closed of skeletonized. J. E. Rodden, insurance. Phone 71.
