HOWARD RESIGNS AS RECORDER Springs Surprise on City Council at Last Night's Session Judge J. S. Howard spring a surprise on city council last night when he tendered his resignation as city recorder. His letter, which expressed warm appreciation for past favors from the council and other city officials, did not suggest a date when he would like the resignation to take effect and council laid it over to the first meeting of the council when the new trustees are sworn into office and when appointments of all city officials. FRIENDS SAY THEY'LL AID CLARK Number of Prominent Business Men Have Been Asked to Join Ku Klux Klan Friends of James H. Clark, former proprietor and manager of the Valencia Hotel, who was warned in a letter from the Ku Klux Klan a few days ago to close up his affairs and leave Orange-co, have prepared themselves to give him aid in case the threat is enforced, one of them said today. More than a score of Clark's intimates will actively assist him, it was said. This, and the fact that from six to 12 Anahelmers, some of them among the most prominent business and pro- Judge J. S. Howard spring a surprise on city council last night when he tendered his resignation as city recorder. His letter, which expressed warm appreciation for past favors from the council and other city officials, did not suggest a date when he would like the resignation to take effect and council laid it over to the first meeting of the council when the new trustees are sworn into office and when appointments of all city officials are ratified. That will be April 27th. No reason was given for the resignation. Judge Howard was a member of the American Civic League which endorsed three candidates in the recent councilmanic election, only one of whom, Councilman Gibbs, was elected. It has been reported that Judge Howard would consider the postmastership at the expiration of J. F. Ahlborn's term next fall and that as one of the local G. O. P. leaders he might have considerable claim upon Congressman Swing. Council passed up considerable business until the new council takes office, tho in reality there is but one change in the personnel of the board, Stock taking the place of Backs. Proceedings were ready for the calling for bids on the $240,000 outfall sewer bond issue. It is understood that Santa Ana will call for bids on her share about May 1. Council postponed the beginning of the advertising until the date is set at a litter meeting. Councilman Gibbs urged that only a part of the bonds be sold now enough to pay for the preliminary work of engineering and for right of way, instead of the entire amount and forcing the city to pay interest on the bulk of the bonds for a term of months as has been the case with the city hall bonds. The bond market is strong now. Council rejected a plat of the R. E. Coffman subdivision of 32 lots on E. Center-st., near Placentia-ave, on the ground that the streets and alleys are not provided in sufficient number or to correspond with city streets. The law points a city to accept or reject any plat within three miles of its corporate limits the idea being that when the city grows out to the plat it will be found to synchronize with city streets. Some of the lots have already been sold on contract and it is asserted deeds will be issued on meets and bounds. The council was presented by Carl Pressell, W. S. McFarlane with a motion signed by owners of a majority of the property on Oak-st., between Clementine and Lemon-sts. and by a number on Clementine between Oak and Broadway. McFarlane expressed the belief that paving could be obtained ten cents cheaper a year from now than the 25-cent per foot rate for the Chartres-st, job. Councilman Gibbs pointed out that the Chartres-st, paving was seven inches, compared with five on Broadway, Lemon ed to Join Ku Klux Klan Friends of James H. Clark, former proprietor and manager of the Valencia Hotel, who was warned in a letter from the Ku Klux Klan a few days ago to close up his affairs and leave Orange-co, have prepared themselves to give him aid in case the threat is enforced, one of them said today. More than a score of Clark's intimates will actively assist him, it was said. This, and the fact that from six to 12 Anahelmers, some of them among the most prominent business and professional men in the city, have been asked to join the Klan, were today's local developments in connection with the order. "You better keep quiet about the Klan," said a professional man of high standing here, when asked what he knew about the order. "How do you know I don't belong myself?" The Klan is doing good work, isn't it? You approve of its objects, don't you? Told of reports that two or three well known individuals in Anaheim had been asked to join the Klan, this man said he knew of "a good many more than that." He said further that many spirous klans existed in various parts of the state, and the conduct of the real Klan should not be judged by what such bodies did. Owing to the extreme secrecy maintained, and the fact that a member cannot divulge the fact of his membership, it is impossible to ascertain who does belong. Clark has made no change in his regime of life since the letter. He has real estate here and in Huntington Beach, and other business interests in Los Angeles, and divides his time among the three cities. FIRE DESTROYS FAMOUS GARDENS LOS ANGELES, April 14.—Fire of mysterious origin totally destroyed the famous roadhouse and cafe known as the Moonlite Gardens, on Washington boulevard, between Culver City and Venice, today.

PEETE ADMITS NEW STORY OF MURDER FALSE LOS ANGELES, April 14.—Mrs. Louise Peete has confessed that her "new story" of the murder of Jacob C. Denton, in which she implicated a prominent man and by which she interested Mrs. Angela Kaufman, wealthy benefactress, in her behalf in a renewed fight for freedom, was "faked," Deputy Sheriff Henry Dennison and Nettie B. Yaw announced today. Confronted with facts which disproved her claim that Denton was slain by the man whom she named. Mrs. Pete repudiated her so-called "confession" and admitted she knew nothing which would win her release from San Quentin penitentiary, where she is serving a life sentence for the murder, Dennison and Mrs. Yaw stated.

Confronted with facts which disproved her claim that Denton was slain by the man whom she named, Mrs. Pete repudiated her so-called "confession" and admitted she knew nothing which would win her release from San Quentin penitentiary, where she is serving a life sentence for the murder, Dennison and Mrs. Yaw stated. Mrs. Peete explained her "faked" story by telling the deputy sheriffs that she used it in a "forlorn hope" attempt to establish her innocence. "The they were always after me to tell my story, to say something that might help me, and I told them that story involving the men," Mrs. Peete said to the officers. "There's nothing to it as far as the claim that the man killed Denton." According to Dennison and Mrs. Yaw, Mrs. Peete maintained, despite her admission that her story was "faked," that the man had visited her at the Denton mansion in South Catalina-st and had remained with her until early one morning. It was around this visit that the story involving the man in the murder was woven. Evidence to indicate that Mrs. Peete's story implicating the man may have been a blackmail plot was submitted to District Attorney Woolwine by Attorney S. S. Hahn, employed by Mrs. Kaufman to work in Mrs. Peete's behalf. "I cannot say that Mrs. Peete herself actually meant to blackmail this man but I have evidence which indicates that her story involving him was used in an attempt to extort money from him." Hahn said. "There is no doubt that this man is absolutely innocent of any connection with the Denton murder. SAFETY CAMPAIGN FOR AUTOISTS ON An active campaign was started today by Paul V. Allen, manager of the local office of the Automobile Club of So. Calif., to enroll Anaheim's share of the 65,000 members as upholders of a safety first.

SWINDLERS ARRESTED; CONFESS The Sanitary Bakery is minus four dollars today as the result of a visit from two short change swindlers and two other places, Sebastian Brothers and Stroup's Market, narrowly escaped being similarly swindled. It was mainly through the vigilance of J. P. Sebastian, who got suspicious after he had detected the attempted fraud on his cashier, that led to their apprehension. Sebastian followed them to Los Angeles street where they had a car, and later got Officer A. D. Moody, who took them to police headquarters and then to the office of Police Justice J. S. Howard, where they confessed. They were locked up in the local jail, until the Judge returns from Santa Ana. Their names they gave as Mr. and Mrs. Harry Humphrey, Humphrey declared he was paroled on a similar charge at Berkeley. The couple apparently tried exactly the same game in all three stores. The man presented a $10 bill, after making a small purchase, received his change including a $5 bill, and then came back and held out a $1 bill, claiming to have received it instead of a $5 one. Mrs. Louis Larsen waited upon the couple at the bakery, where they purchased a dozen hot cross buns. She gave them the usual four dollars in silver and the $5 bill. A short time after they had gone she discovered her shortage. At Stroup's Market the two purchased 17 cents worth of pork chops and 22 cents worth of lamb chops and tendered a $10 bill as before. And again one of the bills was brought back, but Paul Scott, who waited on them, was not sure that he had been swindled after they had gone, and a checking up failed to show a shortage later, the clerk said. At Sebastian Brgs, two yards of ribbon at 43 cents per yard were purchased of Mrs. Ray Smith and a $10 bill presented to the cashier, Miss Effie Holland, by the clerk. The cashier knew she had given back a $5 bill, however, and refused to substitute another for the $1 bill they brought back. At Judge Howard's office the man broke down and confessed, claiming to be under the influence of morphine of which he said he MIS DISCUSS ST DETECTION ment of two meetings, at Fullerton beginning next Thursday and the of the Santa Ana river same, hour on Friday.

April 14.—A $25, 000 diamond ring has been lost by Cecil B. Mille, prominent motion picture producer. He believes the ring has been stolen. It is a pure Cullman of more than eight carats mounted in platinum and surrounded by other stones of from one quarter to three quarters of a carat each. RECOVER STOLEN DODGE The Dodge touring car which was reported to the local police by R. S. Smith, 1018 West Broadway, as having been stolen, has been recovered at San Bernardino, it was stated this morning. At Sebastian Bros., two yards of ribbon at 43 cents per yard were purchased of Mrs. Ray Smith and a $10 bill presented to the cashier, Miss Effie Holland, by the clerk. The cashier knew she had given back a $5 bill, however, and refused to substitute another for the $1 bill they brought back. At Judge Howard's office the man broke down and confessed, claiming to be under the influence of morphine, of which he said he was a regular user. He claimed he and his wife, his companion, were trying to get to Arizona for his health. Humphrey looked like a chauffeur and ex-service man. He wore leather puttees and a leather cap. The woman worn a scarlet coat, and presented a somewhat striking appearance. According to the Sebastians and other merchants checks which turn out later to be worthless have been presented repeatedly to them in payment, and no prosecution follows, largely because the amounts are too small to be worth trying to collect.
