XXV—NO. 226 HOUSE, I 10 MEN HERE BELONG TO KLAN Watchful waiting is the policy adopted by District Attorney A. P. Nelson in the matter of the Ku Klux Klan, he indicated today. The District Attorney is not disposed to prosecute the order as such in Orange county nor the individual members, either in his public or private capacity. He said this afternoon he was holding the roll of the Klan put into his hands by District Attorney Woolwine of Los Angeles, to be used in the future if necessary. With regard to the two klansmen who visited his house and interviewed his wife with the object of calling off Nelson from his activities, he said he had no clue as to their identity. ONE OF S. A. AUTO VICTIMS IS DEAD Miss Lenora Rochleau, 19, one of the victims in the spectacular plunge of a roadster over a 200-foot cliff at Sulphur Slide in the Santa Ana canyon, is dead. The body was taken to her home in Arlington. Coroner C. D. Brown was not notified, and nothing yet has been done to arrange for an inquest. Miss Elsie Delgis, 19, of Santa Ana still is at the Community Hospital and probably will recover. H. W. O'Hara, the other occupant of the car, who was driving, is badly injured but will recover, unless complications set in. The accident happened at one o'clock Saturday morning, when the car crashed through a guard rail on the road. The car was wrecked at the foot of the gully. O'Hara told Undersheriff E. E. French that the car got beyond his control. There was no indication that O'Hara had been drinking or was otherwise responsible, according to French. CITY ALMOST Do you want Show?

CENSUS ON VIEW TREES IN PARK He said this afternoon he was holding the roll of the Klan put into his hands by District Attorney Woolwine of Los Angeles, to be used in the future if necessary. With regard to the two klansmen who visited his house and interviewed his wife with the object of calling off Nelson from his activities, he said he had no clue as to their identity. Nelson's possession of the complete roll of membership in the county is regarded by the authorities, however, as a weapon which will be invaluable if occasion arises to employ it. It enables Nelson and his aides to put their hands quickly on any member who comes under suspicion. Nelson is adhering strictly, however, to his program of law enforcement and not going out of his way to prosecute unless necessary. There are 203 members of the order in the county, according to Nelson, and 10 in Anaheim. Nelson refuses, however, to indicate who they are. Only 25 or so of the total live in localities other than Santa Ana, it is said. The roll in Nelson's possession is complete up to March 31, but the Klan has been active since then. NEW TELEPHONES NEARLY DOUBLE 1921 With Anaheim's telephone demands crowding facilities to the highest, the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company has its engineers busy preparing to double cable capacity in certain sections of the city. April like the other three months of this year showed a jump over the corresponding month of last year in net installation gains. The gain was 28 against 10 a year ago, bringing the total net increase in stations this year to 119 compared with 66 for the first four months of 1921. Here are the figures respectively in total installations, disconnections and net gains for each month of the two years: 1922—January 55-36-29; February 75-35-40; March 53-31-22; April 58-30-28; 1921—January 32-14-18; February 50-33-17; March 46-25-21; April 23-13-10.

CITY ALMOST BONE DRY IN APRIL A record which should please the most out and out "dups" was made during April by Anaheim. There was only one arrest on the charge of drunkenness in the city during the month, according to the police dock-and the docket of the city recorder. Considering the fact that the elections took place during April, the report was all the more satisfying to those who wish to see Anaheim go dry in fact as well as on the statute books. The police said there could not be much booze floating around, since the one man who was arrested could scarcely be said to be drunk. The arrests during the month tallied 47. The arrest for intoxication was that of a 15-year-old boy who was running away from home near Norwalk, and the remainder were traffic violations such as speeding, turning in the middle of the street, parking in front of the剧院 and other prohibited places, and running without lights, or with the cutout open.

AIN DEALING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Monday, May 1, 1922 Are Your House and Yard at Their Best For Orange Show? If Not, Paint, Clean Up Do you want to boost individually, Mr. Citizen, for the Orange Show? There's one way in which you can do it better than any other—a way that beats speechifying and hurrah boys methods all hollow. Clean up the grounds about your house and, if necessary, repair and paint up. It's wonderful what a little paint, especially, will do, combined with elbow grease. Get the weeds out of your yard, prime up your lawn, straighten your fence, and above all paint up your house and garage. You owe it to your neighbor, to your town, to yourself to put on your best front during the last week in May. Anaheim is less 'patchy' than almost any other city in Southern California; restrictions have been better observed, tacitly or otherwise; and one sees fewer sharp contrasts of appearance and upkeep than almost anywhere. But we're not above improvement. Of the thousands who come here to the Orange Show, many may want to settle here. They'll be more likely to do it if the town is in its best holiday clothes. Better-looking houses and grounds means happier homes and higher property values. Just like every new house, so every house in tip-top order and appearance improves values. Clean up! Paint up! And DO IT NOW! CENSUS ON WALNUT TREES IN PROGRESS STAGE SET FOR Y. M. C. A. DINNER With teams lined up ready to go, the big complimentary dinner for the workers will be held at me Y. M. C.

CENSUS ON WALNUT TREES IN PROGRESS Beginning in the southern part of Orange county statisticians working under the direction of the farm advisors of four counties have just tackled the stupendous job of counting and tagging all the walnut trees in Southern California. The undertaking is as unique as it is colossal. It is designed to produce information which will show the exact status of the walnut industry in this state. The information being secured for the benefit of the growers and, it is expected, will prove of great value to them from a financial standpoint. The purpose of this census is to obtain absolutely accurate first-hand information which may be referred to when such matters as tariff revision claim attention. In recent months it has appeared at various times that the most accurate data regarding the information has been more or less unreliable, farm bureau estimates differing from those of the California Walnut Growers Association or the State Department of Agriculture. Under the present arrangement, trained statisticians will visit each walnut ranch, make a diagram of it count the trees, tag them, list the number of trees of each variety, lot down their age and, if possible, secure figures as to the grove's production in recent years. They will also enumerate the number of growers who irrigate their trees, the number who own their own pumping plants, those who are members of irrigation companies, the number and kinds of implements used by the ranchers in tending their trees, and whether they cultivate with tractors or horses. In connection with the work, the following statement is being brot to the attention of Orange county ranchers by the president and secretary of the farm bureau of Orange county, as well as Farm Advisor Wahlberg: "A party composed of H. M. Kitchen, E. M. Clark, Claude Payne and A. S. Halstead, of Los Angeles, is assisting in the compilation of greatly needed information and statistics on the walnut industry in Orange county." The survey is being conducted through a cooperative arrangement with the farm bureau. OPEN SEWER BIDS FOR $321,000 Without further delay, and preceding even the completion of the surveys of its municipal and outfall sewers, the Santa Ana City Council tonight will open bids on $321,000 worth of five per cent bonds for the improvements. Five per cent was set as the maximum stated return on the bonds, and the city, it was declared by authorities today, expected to receive a premium on the bonds which would reduce the return to between four and one-half and four and three-quarter per cent. The credit of the city is excellent, and its assessed valuation like that of Anaheim has advanced at a far greater rate than its indebtedness. Of the total, $179,000 is for the outfall sewer and $142,000 for the local sewer. It is understood that both bond issues will be sold at once in their entirety if satisfactory bids are received. Inasmuch as the demand for good municipal bonds has been steadily increasing for a number of months past, it is considered likely that the hopes of the council for a good sized premium will be fully realized. Surveyors will complete their work on the rights o' way of both sewers by tomorrow. Consideration is being given to a route on the east side of the river south from the Talbert road to the ocean. City Manager O. E. Steward of Anaheim has accompanied City Engineer W. G. Knox of Santa Ana over the route and both routes will be laid out before final decision is taken on either. Steward today war in Los Angeles and could not be seen. U.S. ENVoy NEED MORE SHIPS AT CHINA WASHINGTON, May 1. — Jacob Goodman, Supervisor, American Marine ange at the High School gym.

Foelker will have five years less to spend in a cell at San Quentin penitentiary because of a clerical mistake. Foelker appeared before Superior Judge Shenk for sentence. "What time of the day was it when you committed this crime?" he was asked. A N.

The burglary is that to have taken place at about five o'clock. The things stolen include two ladies' purses, one large and one small; one full fare and one half fare return ticket to Denver, Colo.; and from $15 to $20 in cash. The police have as yet been unable to discern FIVE YEARS OFF SENTENCE, THRU CLERICAL MISTAKE LOS ANGELES, May 1. — J. Foelker will have five years less to spend in a cell at San Quentin penitentiary because of a clerical mistake. Foelker appeared before Superior Judge Shenk for sentence. "What time of the day was it when you committed this crime?" he was asked. "It was at night," admitted the prisoner. "I expect you would be willing to have five years cut from that sentence?"

OIL TANKER HITS REEF; ALL SAVED LOS ANGELES, May 1.—Forced to abandon the Los Angeles tank steamer Whittier, one of the crack vessels operated from this port by the Union Oil company of California, when it struck a reef Point Arena, Cal., known as the "graveyard of the Pacific." Capt. F. V. Lohen and his crew of 25 men battled for three hours in a heavy sea with small boats before they were rescued today, according to dispatches from San Francisco. According to latest advises from the scene of the disaster the crew left the ill-fated steamer in three parties, all of which have been accounted for. The first members of the crew to be rescued were in a boat which Capt. Lohen commanded. This boat was sighted by the steam schooner Brunswick which hastened alongside and took the nearly exhausted men on board. The schooner then put in at a small cove near Point Arena, landing the wreck survivors. The remaining two boatloads of the crew, which had become separated from Capt. Lohen, made their way to the shore unnaided and the men walked overland to the Point Arena federal life saving station. First news of the disaster to the Whittier was sent broadcast from the vessel at 1:54 a.m., just a few minutes after the police reported to the police today that his apartment had been entered yesterday morning, and several valuable articles stolen. The burglary is that to have taken place at about five o'clock. The things stolen include two ladies' purses, one large and one small; one full fare and one half fare return ticket to Denver, Colo.; and from $15 to $20 in rash. The police have as yet been unable to discover the burglar. The burglar who had entered from the back door which was unlocked was frightened when Mrs. Narath who awoke as he was kneeling by her bedside screamed. The man made his getaway the way he came, taking with him Mrs. Narath's purse and that of her mother-in-law, Mrs. C. Narath of Denver, who is visiting here. It is that that the man was trying to find the trousers of Narath to ransack the pockets, when Mrs. Narath awoke. The Naraths regret nothing so much as the loss of the tickets to Denver. A suitable reward will be given for the return of these, it is stated. When Mr. and Mrs. Charles Osburn got back to their home on Katella road half a mile west of the Garden Grove road yesterday, they found their house in confusion and approximately $200 worth of clothing and other articles missing. The burglar overlooked a quantity of solid silver and jewellery. Mrs. Osburn said if she had been present she would have given the intruders a warm reception. She keeps a 32 Colt automatic with her always, and has become a crack shot through long practice in the back yard. In addition to the clothing and other things, Mrs. Osburn lost an unnamed article which she regards as priceless. She has an excellent elue to the identity of the robber but is willing to let him off if he will return the article in question. Entrance was effected through a screened window in the rear, through which the robber ent his way. When he departed he left the back door open. There was plenty of evidence that he left in a hurry. The robbery first was discovered on Thursday by Sam Williams, a neighbor, who helps Osburn on the ranch and looks after the house when the couple are away. Mr. and Mrs. Osburn had been visiting their two sons in San Diego, Dr. Priestley Osburn, formerly a member of the staff of the Johnston-Wickett clinic, and Pingree R. Osburn, who for some time was associated with his father in the real estate business here.

Lohen, made their way to the shore unaided and the men walked overland to the Point Arena federal life saving station. First news of the disaster to the Whittier was sent broadcast from the vessel at 1:54 a.m., just a few minutes after she had driven on the reef. Capt. Lohen ordered P. A. T. Hendrix, the wireless operator, to call for help. These calls were received in San Francisco and the United States coast guard cutter Shawnee was immediately sent to the scene. At the same time news of the wreck was sent to Supt.
