XXV—NO. 215 57 FATAL ANAHEIM TO HAVE NEW BANK? S. Shumaker, Formerly of Billings and Calexico, Will Buy or Start New One Possibility of another banking institution in Anaheim was apparent today with the assertion that S. Shumaker, formerly prominent in the banking business at Billings, Mont., and for the last two years located at Calexico, would enter local banking activities, either by outright purchase of control in one of the present banks or by starting a new one. Shumaker has just sold his bank at Calexico. Four years ago when he first came to So. Cal., stopping at Long Beach, he became interested in Anaheim and TWO COUNCILS TO UNITE TONIGHT The joint sewer project of Anaheim and Santa Ana will be considered by the councils of the two cities at a meeting tonight here. Bonds amounting to approximately $500,000 have been authorized by the two cities for the outfall sewer. Committees to obtain rights of way probably will be appointed and the engineer-in-personnel may be picked. It is possible the cities' own engineers will do all the work.

Shumaker, formerly prominent in the banking business at Billings, Mont., and for the last two years located at Calexico, would enter local banking activities, either by outright purchase of control in one of the present banks or by starting a new one. Shumaker has just sold his bank at Calexico. Four years ago when he first came to So. Cal., stopping at Long Beach, he became interested in Anaheim and was anxious to locate here then. He has never lost that desire, and, in fact, is now determined no longer to delay locating here. Two years ago he held an option on one of the local banks but let it slip when he decided to go to Calexico. Now, he wishes very much that he had come here. He has instructed a local real estate broker to look for a bank location because, if he cannot buy out one of the present institutions, he says he will start a new one even then it may be necessary to erect his own building. He is understood to have the financial backing to go into a local banking proposition in any way he desires. It is hardly likely that he will be able to buy out one of the present banks as they are all enjoying most prosperous conditions, it was asserted today. For some time there have been rumors of another bank here. One report had it that the Bank of Italy was to locate a branch in a building to be erected by John Cassou at the northwest corner of Clementine and Center-sts. EEN COMPETITION WITH PAVING COS.

Reilly was bound and blind-folded but managed to work loose the ropes and then painfully plodded his way back to Berkeley, appearing at the police station to seek aid. He said he believed he could identify one of the three men. Reilly's career in Oakland for a number of years has been spectacular. Numerous fictive encounters have resulted from articles appearing in his paper. K.K.K. VICTIM IN CORNER PULLS GUN J. H. Clark Displays "45" When Autoists Attempt to "Pack Him" Passed three times on the boulevard out of Huntington Beach, and partly cornered on each occasion by other motorists without apparent cause. James H. Clark yesterday drew a 45 calibre pistol and warned the occupants of the other cars that the next time they did it he would talk with something else besides words. They didn't pass him again.

PACKING PLANTS AT FRESNO PLANNED FRESNO, April 18. — California peach and fig growers have under consideration the erection of several packing plants here at a cost of $1.- AUTOISTS COLLIDE WITH MOTORCYCLE Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Schellens of Olive had a close escape and their Ford coupe was nearly wrecked when they struck a motorcycle in Downey yesterday, breaking the leg of one Gifford and injuring his companion, named Thompson. The Anaheimners have several witnesses to prove that they were not at fault. The local constable is said to have put the blame upon the motorcyclists. They were driving to Los Angeles at a speed of not more than 15 miles an hour, when without the slightest warning, a motorcycle emerged from a garage and drove into the street. The cycle crossed partly in front of them and before they could stop their Ford struck the machine. It was a somewhat glancing blow or they might have run over the two men and their machine and the result for all concerned would have been much more serious. One fender of the Ford was completely smashed, likewise a radiator and the light globes broken. The street at the point of the collision is wide enough, and the accident appears to have been due entirely to the carelessness of the two men. ARMOUR ACTS FOR GIANT COMBINE CHICAGO, April 18.— Packers here today planned a $500,000,000 merger, according to information in financial circles. Three of the "big five" packers may join the combine, according to plans now being worked out. They are Armour & Co., Wilson & Co. and the Cudahy Packing Co. Consummation of plans would place J. Ogden Armour as president of the board of directors of the combine and Thomas E. Wilson as president. The idea for the merger, it was reported, came from Armour, who has no son to succeed him in the packing industry. DISCUSS PROJECT FOR J. C. DISTRICT Passed three times on the boulevard out of Huntington Beach, and partly cornered on each occasion by other motorists without aparent cause, James H. Clark yesterday drew a 45 calibre pistol and warned the occupants of the other cars that the next time they did it he would talk with something else besides words. They didn't pass him again. Clark, former proprietor and manager of the Valencia hotel, received a communication on Ku Klux Klan stationery a week ago, ordering him to end his business connections with Orange-co and leave. Since then he has been on the qui vive. He doesn't know whether the occupants of the other cars were members of the Klan or not, but took no chances. A friend here said that some of the men who met him were among those whom he suspects as connected with the sending of the letter. Clark is spending more time now in Huntington Beach than here, if possible, where he and Mrs. Clark have considerable property, and it was on the return from the beach city that the incident happened yesterday. Scepticism regarding the activities of the order in Orange-co is now waning, with the visit of nine klansmen in regalia to the grave of Miss Ida Miller in Fairhaven cemetery, Santa Ana, yesterday and the recent resignation of the Santa Ana kleagle or organizer. Clark's friends here denounced the order, declaring it was largely a money-making scheme, the money going east at the rate of $10 per capita for each member initiated. Secretary of State Jordan in Sacramento has declared that a state charter will not be issued to the Klan until it has proved its purpose is merely fraternal like other organizations. SMALL BOY SUCCUMBS TO BLOOD POISONING The young companions and teachers of William Edwin Nixon, aged nine years and one month, are mourning his death which occurred today, the result of blood poisoning.

PACKING PLANTS AT FRESNO PLANNED FRESNO, April 18. — California peach and fig growers under consideration the erection of several packing plants here at a cost of $1,000,000.

C. DISTRICT The project of a big junior college district with a new building for the southern part of the county including Anaheim was discussed at a meeting of the Orange-co High School Principals' Ass'n in Santa Ana. A change in the law would be necessary, said County Superintendent of Schools, R. P. Mitchell. The plan would be more economical, Mitchell admitted. City Superintendent J. A. Cranston, of Santa Ana opposes the plan.

RECOVEVRS FROM BURNS Mrs. Edith Hudson of Garden Grove will recover from the severe burns which she suffered recently, physicians finally announce. FINISH LANDSCALE WORK AT ELK CLUB Landscape gardening at grounds surrounding the Elks' clubhouse was finished today. Paul J. Howard of Los Angeles is the architect. A boxwood hedge will completely line the North Los Angeles and South Sycamore sides of the building. Climbing roses will cover the artistic trellis on the south side of the front space. While four cocoa palms, the cocos plumosus, have been planted at each corner of the fountain space. These are the features of the shrubs. On the Sycamore-st side choysea ternata, pittosporum, durantas and, at the corners craetagus and catoneasters have been planted. Each of the two latters bears red berries, and the shades of the colors contrast in a striking manner. At the front of the building English myrtle, golden privet, mahonia and heavenly bamboo have been set in. Other shrubs used in front are the cunyninosus and the Japanese privet. Beds of labellias and santilinas adorn each of the front lawn spaces. The shrubs harmonize well with the big rubber tree at one side of the main entrance and the big pine at the other. These two trees give a dignity to the decorations such as would have been impossible except after years of care. Already the plants and shrubs look as though they had been growing for months, although the grass has not yet come to the surface. The subterranean watering system will enable the care-takers to water all or any parts of the grounds instantaneously, without the usual portable sprays. OLIVES STANDARDIZED SAN FRANCISCO, April 18. — Olives will be put up in four standardized sizes of cans to aid wider distribution. The California Olive Ass'n decided at its annual meeting here.

The Fairey hydo-aeroplane, taking advantage of the improved weather conditions, taxied down the bay and rose, headed for the little rocks of Pierre and Paul in mid-Atlantic on the route to Pernambuco, Brazil. Today's flight was the longest and most difficult the aviators yet have attempted. C. E. PHILLIPS WANTS TO RETURN 300 INJURED IN MIDWEST CYCLONES Cyclones Cut Path of Destruction Thru Whole Missisippi Valley CHICAGO, April 18.—Fifty-seven killed and more than 900 injured was the toll computed today of cyclones that swept the middle west. Tornadoes cut a path of destruction through the flood stricken Missisippi valley. More than 15,000 persons are homeless. Indiana and Illinois were the hardest hit. Property loss will reach $7,000,000 according to reports coming through on badly crippled wires. The Ohio river will reach a flood C. E. PHILLIPS WANTS TO RETURN C. E. Phillips, former local district manager for the Automobile Club of Southern California and later agent for the Continental Insurance Company, wants to make good his irregularities and return to this city. The first word received here from him since he vanished last January has reached former business acquaintances. He declared he was in another country, but did not say whether it was Canada or Central or South America. The letter was addressed with an Ana-heim postmark, and it is presumed, therefore, that it must have been nailed here by a friend, who first received it. One of the principal victims of Phillips was the insurance company for whose automobile department he was the agent. He became representative for the insurance company soon after leaving the Automobile Club last October. Phillips' wife war reposted to have gone to Chicago, their former home, just before Phillips vanished. Phillips drove away in an Olds mobile on which he had completed payments, but the machine later was recovered at a garage named, it is said, by Phillips himself, and the club's claims against him are said to have been ended therewith. AFFIRM WIGNALL'S PRISON SENTENCE The district court of appeals has affirmed the sentence of Wm. Wignall, convicted in superior court at Santa Ana and given a term of one to 14 years in San Quentin for defrauding the First National Bank of Yorba Linda, out of $800, it became known here today. The sentence of A. C. Dingle, of Fullerton, to San Quentin for driving an auto while intoxicated, was also affirmed. W. C. T. U. OPENS S. A. CONVENTION TODAY That the moral welfare of children today is imperilled by the influences constantly thrown around them was the theme of the address of Mrs. G. P. Hill, president of the Orange-co. CHICAGO, April 18.—Fifty-seven killed and more than 900 injured was the toll computed today of cyclones that swept the middle west. Tornadoes cut a path of destruction through the flood stricken Mississippi valley. More than 15,000 persons are homeless. Indiana and Illinois were the hardest hit. Property loss will reach $7,000,000 according to reports coming through on badly crippled wires. The Ohio river will reach a flood stage of 50 feet at Cincinnati tomorrow morning, according to a bulletin issued this morning by Weather Forecaster W. C. Devereaux. Barring further heavy rains. Damage to property was formed almost inestimable, but certain to run into millions of dollars. Definite calculation of the damage was declared impossible until the record flood waters subside, but a conservative estimate of $7,000,000 was announced. Both the death list and damage reports are expected to grow as wire communication in the stricken areas is restored, relief workers said. National guardsmen today patrolled the storm area in Indiana, where 18 persons lost their lives and a score were injured. Red Cross relief from this city was being administered and shelters built for the homeless. The series of twisters originated in northeastern Arkansas. Several miles of farm lands were swept and the wind suddenly lifted. All was quiet when the fury hit Irvington and Centralia, Ill., mining town. Seven were killed at Irvington. The wind created havoc in the area extending from Nebraska to Ohio and from the southern end of lake Michigan to northeastern Arkansas. Warren county, one the western border of Indiana, was by far the hardest hit, being visited by two tornadoes within a space of 14 hours which took a toll of 16 lives and resulted in injuries to from 25 to 100 persons. The first storm struck early in the morning and the second, far more destructive, descended upon the same section late in the evening. SEWER WON'T COST WHAT ISSUES TOTAL The bond issues of $160,000 for the local municipal sewer and of $80,-000 as Anaheim's share of the joint outfall sewer to be built in conjunction with Santa Ana do not mean that the actual cost to the city will be as large as these amounts. City Manager O. A. Stewart said. The bonds voted on April 4 were purposely fixed at the sums mentioned in order to provide a plentiful surplus in case... W. C. T. U. OPENS S. A. CONVENTION TODAY That the moral welfare of children today is imperiled by the influences constantly thrown around them was the theme of the address of Mrs. G. P. Hill, president of the Orange-co. W. C. T. U., at the opening session of the two-day convention of the organization in Santa Ana today. Picturing the influence of the motion picture which she said, seems to be the present idea of amusement among children, as particularly detrimental to juveniles, she listed as harmful influences with it, card-playing and the mode of dress, or undress, at the beaches. She asserted much of the present moral laxness is due to display of the human figure at the oceanside. MOTHER, 2 CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH NEW YORK, April 18.—A mother and two children who were spending their first night in their new home were burned early today when fire swept the apartment house. The superintendent was unaware they were in the building, and after rousing four other families believed all were safe. Later three charred bodies were found in the debris. Mrs. Florence Helms, 23, and her two children, Harold, 5, and Florence, 3, were the victims. SEMINOFF KILLED AMERICANS SAN FRANCISCO, April 18. General Semenoff's forces were implicated in the massacre of 40 American soldiers, according to Anthony Krowicki of 531 McAllister street, former member of the intelligence department, 31st Infantry. Krowicki has agreed to testify before the Senate committee if called upon. If it's from Witmap's it's good. SEWER WON'T COST WHAT ISSUES TOTAL The bond issues of $160,000 for the local municipal sewer and of $80,000 as Anaheim's share of the joint outfall sewer to be built in conjunction with Santa Ana do not mean that the actual cost to the city will be as large as these amounts. City Manager O. A. Stewart said. The bonds voted on April 4 were purposely fixed at the sums mentioned in order to provide a plentiful surplus in case of need. Not all of the bonds authorized may be sold, even perhaps during the time preceding the completion of the improvements. Anaheim's share of the joint sewer was 25 per cent. On that basis, however, the joint sewer would aggregate in cost $320,000 instead of $240,000. That is, Anaheim is prepared to spend $20,000 more on this sewer along than its share is estimated to be. What share of the 160,000 bond issued may not be expended is not known. The City Manager said it was customary to authorize an issue larger than actually necessary, so as to avoid the embarrassment of not having sufficient funds when the time came. It is optional with the city whether it shall sell all of the bonds authorized or not and when. SANTA ANA K. K. KLEAGLE RESIGNS T. J.
