F. Ahlborn, Harry Lewis and Covell ask the Board of Supervisors for $25,000 or such sum as could be obtained for a systematic investigation by competent men as to the feasibility of conserving the water resources of the county, the three men to submit plans and recommendations. It was voted to hold the next meeting at Anaheim. In the foreword to the resolution it was stated that 100,000 additional acres of land in the county would be made tillable by irrigation. The creation of a conservation district to include the entire county was proposed, from which funds would be raised for preliminary examination and research. Ahlborn, who is chairman of the general water conservation committee, which has been taken over by the Associated Chambers, said that if the county didn't file a petition to the division of water rights, Department of Public Works, for the appropriation of storm waters from the Santa Ana river, other similar applications would cut off the county's supply and leave it high and dry. The last legislature passed an act permitting such appropriation of storm overflow. There was a long discussion in the course of which Thomas Talbert, chairman of the Board of Supervisors said that it was costing the individual ranchers separately several times more for irrigation water than it would cost them if they combined and obtained their water collectively. Warnings again were issued by most of the speakers regarding the declining water levels of the wells. The opinion appeared to be unanimous that unless some thoroughgoing action was taken citrus fruit lands would revert to the culture of barley and other field crops. Approximately 65 persons were present. The address of welcome was delivered by Mayor J. J. Schnitker of Newport Beach, and Harry D. Riley nahe responded. It was the first meeting at which the new president, C. L. Crumrine of La Habra, presided. He announced a cut in the number of standing committees from 14 to five, but an advertising committee was named later in the evening. Harry D. Riley for the ways and means committee reported that Santa Ana, Tustin, Orange and Huntington Beach had not yet paid their allotments. A beach representative said that the money was at hand and could be obtained at any time. Lee Hopper said Brea also would pay up on application. Lew H. Wallace, reporting for the harbor committee, told of the continued difficulties with the Betty Jane Hamilton of New Castle, Pa., is 12 years of age. She is leading her class at Westminster College and at the same time working her way thru college by tutoring students, some of whom are twice her age. POLICE SAY CHECK ON GRILL FORGED A check for $29 on the Liberty Grill, passed by a Mexican at the S. Q. R. Store yesterday, was forged it was stated today at the local police station. The Mexican is said to have stolen three checks from the book of Max Salscheider, and this is the first of them which is known to have been passed. It is not known who the Mexican was, the police said. Marshal Frank Steadman stated that the merchants should be warned against cashing any other checks of this kind without first investigating. ANAHEIM FOLKS ON WHEELS NOWADAYS Anaheim property is changing hands these days. Among the recent movings of citizens are the Frank Sidener family from Broad-st to 1001 W. Broadway.

A beach representative said that the money was at hand and could be obtained at any time. Lee Hopper said Brea also would pay up on application. Lew H. Wallace, reporting for the harbor committee, told of the continued difficulties with the dredge, which was not fitted for the work it is doing. The entrance to the harbor has not been maintained at 200 feet, but is now at 210. An east jetty is demanded to maintain the entrance, he declared. Opposition was manifested to the changes in the constitution proposed by E. B. Camp of Anaheim. The changes were referred to the advisory committee to act on with recommendations. Thomas Talbert suggested that dues for incorporated communities be fixed at $10 per year and for unincorporated at $5. W. Brown of Fullerton, reporting on good roads, opened up a lively discussion on the merits of concrete and asphalt or warrentee. It was voted unanimously that a black base pavement was preferable to others. F. M. Platt, secretary of the Motor Carriers' Association of California, was present, said motor lines paying as high as the cent taxes and licenses served many communities, while without them would have no transportation service whatsoever.

AIN DEALER ING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Thursday, April 27, 1922 CO. OFFICIALS OPPOSED TO K. K. K. Dist. Atty. Nelson Declares here Is No Excuse for Mob Rule in Calif. "I'm absolutely and unalterably opposed to the Ku Klux Klan," said District Attorney A. P. Nelson today in giving his opinion on the ostensible forcing of James H. Clark, former proprietor of the Valencia Hotel, from the county. Clark received a letter on Klan stationery and recently moved to Los Angeles with the probable intention of moving to Portland, Oregon, later. The District Attorney said he didn't know the circumstances connected with developments in Probe of Outrage The developments in the investigation of evidence charging the Inglewood mob violence to the Ku Klux Klan today were: N. A. Baker, kleagle of the klan and one of the alleged leaders of the raiders, summoned to be questioned by District Attorney Woolwine. Preparations made at the district attorney's office for the arrest, on secret warrants, of 10 men identified as members of the mob. Fidel Elduayen, whose home was raided by the mob, reports to prohibition officers that 110 gallons of wine were stolen by the raiders from his bonded winery. Evidence seized last night in the raid on the Ku Klux Klan headquarters checked over and listed at district attorney's office. Search made for klan membership list which was hidden before officers raided the organization's headquarters. Walter Mosher, son of Constable Mosher, slain in the raid, arraigned before Justice Hanby on a charge of assault with intent to commit murder. U.S. EMBASSY IN CHINA IS CHARRED BY MARINES Mob Rule in Calif. "I'm absolutely and unalterably opposed to the Ku Klux Klan," said District Attorney A. P. Nelson today in giving his opinion on the ostensible forcing of James H. Clark, former proprietor of the Valencia Hotel, from the county. Clark received a letter on Klan stationery and recently moved to Los Angeles with the probable intention of moving to Portland, Ore., later. The District Attorney said he didn't know the circumstances connected with Clark's case, but nevertheless, whether the hotelman was guilty or not of the charges made against him in the letter, was against any man or group of men taking the law into their own hands. The Klan is absolutely un-American, said Nelson. In a place like California where the law is enforced there is no excuse for mob rule. "There is absolutely no call for such an organization. If the Klan's object is a good one, the members will not try to effect it with hooded faces." "No body has any right constitutionally, morally or otherwise to take the law into his own hands. I can't believe that the people of Orange-co. sanction any such action. If they are dissatisfied with the way the law is being administered, they can replace officials with others." City Marshal N. F. Steadman said of Clark's departure: "It's better for him to go and not take a chance of getting into trouble. If I was Clark I'd have gone long ago." "There is no occasion or necessity for such an organization," said Attorney Homer G. Ames, adding however, that his duties as city attorney had nothing to do with bringing the Klan to justice. "We have officials whose duty it is to enforce the law. The Klan in enforcing the law is itself violating the law. If the Klan would lay any evidence it may obtain before the proper officials it would be doing more good than it is now." MAKING PLANS FOR VETS' BOND DRIVE Announcement that "a detailed and comprehensive plan of campaign" will be outlined by the California Veterans' Bond Campaign Committee and forwarded to each American Legion post, was made by County Commander William P. Webb, Jr., today. Webb added that women as well as men—nurses for instance—would receive the benefits of the farm and home site bond issue of $10,000,000, if approved by the state. U.S. EMBASSY IN CHINA IS GUARDED BY MARINES BODIES RECOVERED AS FLOODS RECEDE DALLA', Tex., April 27. — With eight bodies recovered, 50 persons missing and close to 5000 homeless in north central Texas, flood waters were receding in most parts of the state today.

END OF BURCH CASE NOW IN SIGHT LOS ANGELES, April 27—Prediction that the state would close its case by the early part of next week in the re-trial of Arthur C. Burch, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, were freely made when Burch's trial was resumed in Judge Sydney N. Reeve's court this morning. In spite of the unusually long time required for the selection of the jury, Burch's trial now is farther advanced than his first trial was in the same time. Witnesses are being put thru their pace rapidly owing to the fact that both the defense and prosecution know just what is the meat of each witness' testimony. OPEN TROUT SEASON MONDAY Charles Eygabroad will go to Pomona Monday where he will join E. PEKIN, April 27. — The powers are getting ready for another siege of Pekin similar to that of the Boxer war in 1900. American marines, rushed from the Huron, flagship of the Asiatic fleet, reached here to the number of 170 today and reinforced the guard about the American legation. At the same time a strong force of British bluepackets was added to the guards about the British compound. The American legation has been strongly prepared and refuge will be offered there to any who may wish to risk remaining in the city. The marines are abundantly supplied with ammunition and have machine guns ready to repel any possible attack. The terrors of the siege of 1900 are clearly remembered and the foreign governments are determined to take every precaution to guard their interests. PAN-AMERICAN UNIVERSITY URGED LOS ANGELES, April 27. — Establishment of a Pan-American university was urged today at the first session of the Pan-American educational conference in the George Bovard administration building of the University of Southern California. Inauguration of Dr. Rufus Bernhard von Klein Smid as president of the university will take place at 10 a.m. tomorrow. J. E. Lefevre, charge d'affaires, legacion de Panama, Washington, D.C., a delegate to the conference, was the advocate of the Pan-American university. Scores of prominent educators from all parts of the country were present for the opening mission, which was presided over by Governor William D. Stephens. Twelve Latin American countries sent representatives to the conference. DECORATOR BRINGS SUIT FOR $2355 Suit for $2355 was opened by Frank B. Rice, Los Angeles con- fornia Veterans' Bond Campaign Committee and forwarded to each American Legion post, was made by County Commander William P. Webb, Jr., today. Webb added that women as well as men—nurses for instance—would receive the benefits of the farm and home site bond issue of $10,000,000, if approved by referendum this fall, that certain localities in the state already had been registered 100 per cent in preparation for the vote, and that certain county officials, such as tax appraisers, would assist the Veterans' Welfare Board, stationed at Sacramento, in the work preparatory to distributing the money. Webb said that approximately 160 claims for farm and home site aid under the previous $2,000,000 appropriation had been acted upon and, with the constitutionality of the two acts approved by the State Supreme Court, made eligible for aid. As the preliminary step to getting everybody registered, Webb and his alces will ascertain who have been actually registered throughout the county. While the county council will have general charge of this work, it will be left in detail to each American Legion post. Of the $800,000 appropriated for vocational aid between $300,000 and $500,000 have been spent throughout the state so far, according to Webb. The state campaign committee has adopted the slogan "A Loan—not a Gift"—to impress upon the electorate that the money will be paid back by the recipients of aid as soon as they develop an income from their ranches or the homes they buy. The Orange County council of the Legion, like the councils in all counties, will urge upon each municipality or other corporation that the addition of many new homes is a matter or public concern in which the community as a whole should cooperate. AT ANAHEIM HOSPITAL New patients at the Anaheim Sanitarium include: Mrs. Charles A. Trautman, Fullerton; Mrs. W. R. Braly, Buena Park, and Joseph Jolli, Placentia. OPEN TROUT SEASON MONDAY Charles Eygabroad will go to Pomona Monday where he will join E.K. Holden, trout-fishing expert, and a party of anglers who will open the trout season at San Antonio.

Rice, Los Angeles contractor, against Theodore Roberts, owner of the California theatre, in Superior Court today before Judge R.Y. Williams.

He asserted through his attorney, an Angeleno, that Roberts took the contract away from him. Attorney Leonard Evans for Roberts said that only $2934 was coming to Rice and that sum paid. Rice was the first and principal witness during the morning and early afternoon. The case may not be finished until a later date. BLIND BOSS' OF S.F. LEAVES BIG ESTATE SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.

ALLEGED RAID LEADERS QUESTIONED, FACE ARREST LOS ANGELES, April 27.—With the arrest of 10 men, identified as having been members of the masked mob in the Inglewood raid Saturday night, expected to take place before night, N. A.

He appeared voluntarily at the district attorney's office to face questioning of Woolwine. A new sensation developed in the case when Fidel Elduayen, whose Inglewood home was raided by the mob, reported to Prohibition Officer O'Leary that 110 gallons of wine stored in his bonded winery were stolen by the raiders. Elduayen called upon O'Leary to take action for the recovery of the wine or the arrest of th men who took it. It was pointed out that the theft of the wine brings up a new charge in connection with the investigation as the transportation of liquor is a violation of the prohibition laws. Names of 10 member sof the Ku Klux Klan were disclosed at the coroner's inquest over the body of Medford Mosher, Inglewood constable, slain during the raid. Mosher's son, Walter Mosher, was arrested and a warrant was issued for Leonard Reugg, wounded when the elder Mosher was killed. Mosher, who was taken into custody last night, and released on $10,000 bail, appeared before justice Hanby with his attorney this morning for arraignment on the charge against him of assault with intent to commit murder in firing on City Marshal Frank Woerner, who killed his father and wounded the younger man and Reugg. Mosher, who admits having fired on Marshal Woerner, was released on $10,000 bail posted by W. G. Brown, president of the First National bank at Inglewood. Because of his condition Reugg, who was shot through the groin and who is in the hospital, was not ar-(Continued on page eight) NEW COUNCIL WILL MEET THIS EVENING Council meets tonight in the first regular session since election.

ANAHEIM RECEIVES BROAD ADVERTISING Anheim is receiving some widespread advertising in the current issue of the Fordson Farmer, circulated all over the world. There is a two Anaheim Valencias Bringing Top Prices An idea of the excellent prices being received for Anaheim valencias is continued in the latest weekly reports of the Fruit Exchange which shows the lowest price paid for Anaheim fruit was $5.60 f. o. Anaheim while some fruit sold as high as $6.40. This is better than seven cents per pound on the trees. Local packing houses have resumed picking after a temporary layoff to avoid glutting the market. Leading local packers and growers assert there is no doubt that Anaheim fruit will continue to bring highest prices on record throughout the season, in view of the comparatively light crop in other districts. Anaheim's total receipts from citrus fruit this year will be far in excess of any previous year. FRUIT WILL GROW IF LEFT ON TREE Valencias can be left on the trees until October without loss, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association today. The fruit will become larger and sweeter by so doing, he added. If the orchards are in good shape, the association allows the fruit to remain; if picking is advisable, the fruit is picked. Sandilands took issue with another manager in the statement that 1,000 cars of navels were on the road to market, although he could not speak officially. In his opinion Mediterranean sweets and other miscellaneous varieties on the way to the market numbered more than navels. He also questioned whether 100 cars of navels still remained to be picked. Practically all of the state's navels have been gathered and shipped, he declared. This association, like the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n., is scheduled to ship three cars today, the first day of resumed shipping operation on a scale. Manager W. H. Schureman said the citrus association was now on a schedule of four or five cars per day, compared with a capacity of eight or nine cars. Schureman also thought it a good plan to keep the valoncias on the trees where possible. Manager J. H. Ritchie of the Anaheim Cooperative Orange Ass'n., said the fruit in the Anaheim district ANAHEIM RECEIVES BROAD ADVERTISING Anaheim is receiving some widespread advertising in the current issue of the Fordson Farmer, circulated all over the world. There is a two page layout of photos taken by Geo. Dunton, local distributor, showing the Fordson at work in groves and fields about Anaheim. One picture shows the plowing of beets on the ranch of Earl A. Redmond; another shows the Fordson disking inoccer crop in orange grove of Mrs. C. C.

TEAM GIVE WORK NEW ORLEANS, April 27. — The secret floor work of the Knights Templar was exemplified here by the team of the Long Beach, Cal., commandery, Grand Master J. K. Orr proposed an expenditure of $400,000 annually for the education of American boys and girls, $100,000 to be transferred from the permanent fund and each knight to be assessed $1. TORRANCE ESTATE $3,000,000 LOS ANGELES, April 27. — An estate of approximately $3,000,000 was left by the late Jared Sidney Torrance, founder of the town of Torrance, the report of E. P.

FAIL TO FIND PLESIOSARUS CHOLLA, Territory of Chubut, April 27. — The search for the alleged plesiosarus has failed, and the party is returning from the lake near Esquiel where Martin Sheffield reported he had seen it. This association, like the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n., is scheduled to ship three cars today, the first day of resumed shipping operation on a scale. Manager W. H. Schureman said the citrus association was now on a schedule of four or five cars per day, compared with a capacity of eight or nine cars. Schureman also thought it a good plan to keep the valoncias on the trees where possible. Manager J. H. Ritchie of the Anaheim Cooperative Orange Ass'n., said the fruit in the Anaheim district was larger than elsewhere and there was less need to keep it on the trees, but it could be done so with advantage. When to pick depends upon individual conditions, he said. Ritchie estimates the State's crop at even under 10,000 cars, but admitted that larger fruit made possible by delayed picking, would make a difference. The smaller size of the fruit was given by a director of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange as one of the reasons why estimates were cut between April 1 and April 17. SELL FRUIT COMPANY STOCK The Stewart Fruit Company have sold all of the $250,000 stock which was placed on the market about two weeks ago, it was stated today at the office of W. H.
