BUILDING PERMITS TELL STORY OF ANAHEIM'S GROWTH Year 1921 $1,254,375 No. of Permits 564 Year 1920 879,080 No. of Permits 862 VOL. XXV—NO. 231 3 MURDER $34,000 FLOOD PROTECTION FUND IN Subscribers' Committee Expects to Call for Bids Within Next Week Collection of $34,000 out of the $40,000 subscribed for flood protection is announced by Leroy Berger, secretary of the subcribers' committee. Berger's previous report was $18,000. The secretary adds that an additional $4500, subscribed by well-to-do ranchers and others who could not be seen hitherto, are expected to be available soon. Berger has hopes of the committee advertising for bids next week. One of the most pleasing features of the collection has been that not a single deferred payment check of packing houses was given by any subscriber. This was the method desired by certain subscribers, and The collection is announced by Leroy Berger, secretary of the subcribers' committee. Berger's previous report was $18,000. The secretary adds that an additional $4500, subscribed by well-to-do ranchers and others who could not be seen hitherto, are expected to be available soon. Berger has hopes of the committee offering for bids next week. One of the most pleasing features of the collection has been that not a single deferred payment check of packing houses was given by any subscriber. This was the method desired by certain subscribers, and various others fell in with the idea in order not to have to draw out their present cash resources. When the committee explained, however, that all or most of the actual cash had to be in hand before the work could be started, all concerned paid over the currency without a murmur. The plans already announced will be adhered to, but the route will be changed south of the Santa Fe bridge. Instead of the piling following the curved line formerly observed, it will follow a straight line avoiding the old rows of piling. The change will not affect the protection given to any rancher, and the land enclosed between the old line of piling and the new in the river bottom. Because of this change an additional right of way will have to be obtained, but no difficulty in this is anticipated, because the land involved is of no particular value. The railway was particularly generous in its financial backing and engineers gave much advice to the committee. ORANGE CONSTABLE SEEKS NEW TRIAL Motion for a new trial for W. A. Holt, Orange township constable, found guilty yesterday before Judge Z. B. West in Santa Ana on a statutory charge involving a 16-year-old Orange girl, was made by his attorney, Clyde Bishop. Speculation as to his successor was rife today, following the understanding that his office becomes automatically vacant with his conviction. Charles Rozell, former photographer and well known Orange man, is being mentioned for the place. His application is likely to be filled with the Board of Supervisors shortly, it is said. Judge West denied a motion of District Attorney A. P. Nelson at the conclusion of the trial late yesterday, that Holt, who is under $3,000 ball, be remanded to the custody of Sheriff C. E. Jackson. Judge West said he was satisfied with the bond. Ernest Walker, who is believed to be feeble-minded, will be sent to a proper institution, on recommendation. RAISE $3000 IN Y.M.C.A. CAMPAIGN With approximately $3000 in sight, the Y. M. C. A. team workers at their dinner last evening at the Y. M. C. A. Building were enthusiastic over the final outcome of the campaign for $4,500.00. The results last evening showed the Blue team still leading by $150, with the honors going to squad No. 4, with a total of $410. Following the reports of the lieutenants, a discussion as to the wind-up of the campaign was participated in by all. It was decided that the team workers would change the selected list plan of campaign to open territory today. The secretary's report showed that to date than 175 have subscribed to the fund, and as workers are finding it difficult to catch people at home it would be better in the wind-up to make it free-for-all among the men. The membership plan outlined by the secretary, revealed the following rates for memberships at the Anaheim plunge this summer: boys—$3; girls $2; women and older boys $5; men $10. A schedule of special days and honors will be worked out by the secretary making possible a definite program for each group. Attention was called last night to the fact that many boys and girls who would like to avail themselves of the use of the Y. M. C.

Ernest Walker, who is believed to be feeble-minded, will be sent to a proper institution, on recommendation of the jury. DR. ANDERSON IN DR. FOY'S OFFICE Dr. Leota P. Anderson, of Phoenix, a chiropractor, is established in the office of Dr. A. C. Foy on Center street.

AIN DEALER DING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Saturday, May 6, 1922 DERERS BU EFKER WILL REMAIN IN ANAHEIM Not Worried Over Threat Contained in Ku Klux Klan Letter Hernian J. Efker, recipient of a letter written on stationery of the Ku Klux Klan isn't going to leave Anaheim. This was his assertion today, following his return from Los Angeles where he spent two days at the Pacific Coast Bowling Congress, hanging up a record in the singles. Incidentally, while in Los Angeles, he interviewed several leading attorneys. He says he has had several offers of free legal counsel, including Joe Scott. "I am opening a branch of my Anaheim Music and Craft shop in Anaheim, California," he said. Pretty Girls' Photos Boost Orange Show E. C. Gore, Mr. Hurley and F. W. Ryan of Los Angeles were in Anaheim again today taking pictures for the Valencia Orange Show. The first of the pictures that were taken are to be used in the magazine edition of the Los Angeles Times and will be shown on May 21, the last Sunday before the show. The pictures taken today will be used in the daily papers. Mr. Ryan is the photogravure editor and he promises an excellent layout that will reflect a great deal of credit on the promoters of the great show. The pictures today were taken by the fountain at the Elks home and the others were snapped on an Orange grove on N. Los Angeles-st. They included several pretty Anaheim girls. 24 CLASSES FOR SHOW INCENDIARIES SOUGHT IN G. G. FIRE Incendiaries are being sought by J. M. Clark, constable at Garden Grove, in connection with the fire near the Garden Grove station of the Pacific Electric Company in which three packing houses and their contents and three freight cars were destroyed. Members of crews of the railway company reported to J. A. Knapp, owner of the principal warehouse, that they had seen a man sneaking about the place just before the fire broke out, at about 1 a.m. Friday morning. There is no other clue to the cause. The loss on the contents, principally dried chilis, will amount to $50,000 instead of $35,000 to $45,000, according to Knapp, who estimates that there were 300 tons of them in two of the houses, his and Floyd Kealher's. The estimate of $10,000 each for the three cars burned is considered somewhat high, however. Knapp announced that he would rebuild his house on more substantial lines even than before, expending as much as $10,000. The construction work may not be started, however, until fall, he added. Kealher, Knapp understands, also will rebuild, but has made no plans yet. Their houses were more fully protected by insurance than the one of the California Vegetable Union. POLICE SLAVERS GET LETTER WRITTEN ON STATIONERY OF THE Ku Klux Klan isn't going to leave Anaheim. This was his assertion today, following his return from Los Angeles where he spent two days at the Pacific Coast Bowling Congress, hanging up a record in the singles. Incidentally, while in Los Angeles, he interviewed several leading attorneys. He says he has had several offers of free legal counsel, including Joe Scott. "I am opening a branch of my Anaheim Music and Craft shop in Long Beach and intend to open one in Fullerton," said Efker. "I will continue to operate the local store and make my home here." Efker doesn't appear to be worried over the threat that unless he keeps still about the Ku Klux Klan he will be severely reprimanded. "I said that if a hooded band of Ku Kluxans came down the street to attack a man, I would shoot into the mob. I will stick to that. I have had 50 friends tell me they would do the same." "I am going to insist that the district attorney publish the names of the klansmen and if I get hold of such a list I'm going to run it in my newspaper advertisement every day for a month." "If I didn't have a wife and four children to look out for I would have gone to the mat before this with the man I know to have been responsible for sending the letter. I will put up my morals and standing in the community against his any day." WOOLWINE ADMITS KLAN NUMBERS 7000 LOS ANGELES, May 6. — The name of the Los Angeles physician who recently was attacked by a masked mob near this city was announced by District Attorney J. R.

FRENCH AND BRITISH CLASH OVER OIL GENOA, May 6.—The struggle for control of the world's oil supplies today widened the breach between the French and British delegations at the Genoa economic conference. The French announced their intention of invoking the San Remo oil agreement which would prevent the British from negotiating separately from the French to obtain oil concessions in the former Turkish provinces.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR BURNED 500 CHEER AS FLAMES KILL SLAYERS OF GIRL KIRVIN, Tex., May 6.—Southern "justice" was meted out to three negroes as daylight broke over this little settlement this morning. While a crowd of 500 men, women and children looked on they were burned, one by one, in a vacant lot in the business district, as punishment for having attacked and murdered Eula Ausley, 17-year-old school girl, Thursday, as she was returning from school. The negroes had been arrested after searching parties had combed this district Thursday night and all day yesterday. One of them finally confessed. The negroes were first mutilated and then burned, each being bound to an old plow around which firewood was stacked. "Snap" Curry, the negro who made the confession, was the first to be burned. 35 VETERANS DINE WITH HOLDERMAN Between 35 and 40 men and officers who formerly served under Captain Nelso M.

D BRITISH OVER OIL The struggle for oil supplies to reach between the delegations at the conference. The school girl, Thursday, as she was returning from school. The negroes had been arrested after searching parties had combed this district Thursday night and all day yesterday. One of them finally confessed. The negroes were first mutilated and then burned, each being bound to an old plow around which firewood was stacked. "Snap," Curry, the negro who made the confession, was the first to be burned. Strapped to the seat of the plow under which the fire was started, Curry exclaimed, "Burn Mose Jones and John Cornish, as they are as guilty as I." The negro displayed a complete lack of fear and while the flames were leaping up and enveloping his body he sang "Oh, Lord, I Am Coming." The song suddenly ceased in about five minutes and Curry had gone to his Maker. The crowd cheered. Jones and Cornish were placed in succession on the pile of embers and more fuel added. All three bodies were burned to a crisp. Since Thursday afternoon, when the girl's body was found covered with stab wounds, the throat completely slashed from ear to ear and with evidence of an attack, the entire countryside had been engaged in a sensational hunt. DOES YOUR HOUSE REPRESENT YOU? One or two coats of paint may not make a nouse, but the lack of paint frequently breaks it. The boy is more important than the college education, the man than the clothes he wears, the kernel than the shell of the walnut, but the outside in each case may make all the difference in the world. As a matter of fact, the exterior of a house is likely to be significant of the people inside it. The house is the man who owns it or, in some cases, who occupies it. A few hours' work painting, repairing and cleaning up would do wonders to various premises in Anaheim. Think, for instance, of the difference that a mowing machine on certain vacant lots would make! Appearances are the outward and visible sign of whatever inward and spiritual grace the property-owner possesses. Don't put off men. Get ready for the Orange Show. Help make your premises the pride of your neighborhood and town. An ounce of action is worth a ton of admition and discussion. Clean up! Palt up! And Do It Today! EXTRA FORCES TO Between 35 and 40 men and officers who formerly served under Captain Nelso M. Holderman in the Spanish-American War, along the Mexican border and in the World War, gathered last night at a dinner in his honor at James Cafe, Santa Ana. The event will be annual hereafter, and probably much more largely attended through a canvass of former members. It was a Company L affair, and reminiscences of three fields of strife were plentifully aired at the gathering. In the course of the speaking former Lieutenant Charles D. Swanner of Santa Ana said that Captain Holderman was the only present officer of the regular army to whom had been awarded the Congressional medal of honor. Holderman was a member of the Battalion of Death, the so-called "Lost Battalion." He is now Captain of Company A of the 19th Infantry, stationed at the Presidio, San Francisco. For many years he lived in Tustin. He came south recently to visit his mother, Mrs. Cope, in Orange. The captain left for San Francisco today. Among those who were present or spoke were Lieutenant Lewis Reihl of Anaheim, who referred feelingly to his two former captains, Holderman and J. L. McBride, now county engineer; Lieutenant Welcome Ward of Anaheim, Glenn Hoskins of Fullerton; Lieutenant Charles D. Swanner of Santa Ana, Captain J. L. McBride of Santa Ana, Col. S. H. Finley, supervisor, who told of the organization of Company L, in 1890, Ralph E. Babcock and O. W. Murphy of Los Angeles, who served with Holderman in France; and George A. Pollard of Tustin. The dinner lasted some three hours. CITRUS ASSN. BUYS C. OF C. BARRACKS C. of C. directors yesterday ratified the sale of two lots and barracks on So. Claudina-st. yesterday to the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n., which will use them for housing pickers and packers. The sale price was $10,500, which means a profit of $2400 to $2500 for the C. of C. The two lots cost $1500 each. They are now considered worth $7,-000. One lot contains the barracks, with 22 apartments and a bath-house. The other lot contains several tent houses and a bathhouse. The building of the barracks cost $6500 and paving of the alley cost $400. The barracks were originated by EXTRA FORCES TO PROTECT INTERESTS SHANGHAI, May 6.—Ten thousand Chinese troops today were reported marching on Tien Tain to loot the foreign quarter. As scouts observed the mutineers near the city at 3 a.m. the whites prepared for a desperate defense. American, British and French military authorities began a co-operative movement for the protection of foreign lives and property. Extra forces of marines were rushed to Tien Tain to guard American interests from attacks by the rebellious troops, which are the remnants of Gen. Chang Tso Lin's shattered army. ROW OVER BEACH ELECTION RESULTS Suit for a recount of the results of the recent election of trustees of Seal Beach is demanded by Asa G. Snow, candidate for the board, who charges an illegal count.

Richards, 157; Snow, 150; and W. Floyd Stevens, 145. Snow makes these defendants in the suit. WU PEI FU CONTROLS PEKING PEKING, China, May 6.—General Wu Pei Fu is in control of Peking and northern China. He announced plans to unite the country. The peking authorities have yielded to Wu.
