BUILDING PERMITS TELL STORY OF ANAHEIM'S GROWTH Year 1921 $1,254,375 No. of Permits 564 Year 1920 870,080 No. of Permits 862 Plain LEADING NEWSPAPER VOL. XXV—NO. 232 AUTO DRAG ANAHEIMERS MAKE HAUL IN MEX. Alex Wjtman, P. H. Krick and Others Control 365,-000 Acres of Land With 365,000 acres of rich, well irrigated lands in their possession in the Yaqui river country, Mexico, and a handsome cleanup recently on other property, Alex Wjtman, P. H. Krick and three or four other Anaheimers have "struck it rich." They are incorporated under the names Sonora Mines Company and Succore Mines Company, their mining properties consisting of silver, gold, copper and graphite lying in the LaDura district. They are now bringing in machinery to work their mines. Witman and Krick returned recently from another trip to the properties and are enthusiastic over the prospects. Many millions of dollars in gold and silver were taken out of GUN VICTIMS' BODIES ARE DISCOVERED Death of School Teacher and Veteran on Long Island Baffles Police MAMARONECK, N. Y., May 8. The bodies to John C. Kane, Jr., 34, and Miss Elizabeth Dunn, 32, were found in Alton Wood park early today. Miss Dunn had been shot through the left breast. Kane died from a bullet fired through his mouth. Beside his right hand lay a colt automatic. Police found no evidence of a struggle and there was no indication of a double suicide pact. So far as early investigations showed, the couple, who had been constantly together lately, are not known to have quarreled. Witman and Krick returned recently from another trip to the properties and are enthusiastic over the prospects. Many millions of dollars in gold and silver were taken out of the La Dura district in years past, fortunes of various Angelos being based upon mining successes in the vicinity. The Crocker National Bank of San Francisco, and its associates have bought up extensive mining claims all about those of Witman, Krick and the other Anahemers. The latter owe their success to the fact that they got in early and were able to put down the actual cash or drafts drawn upon Anaheim banks. Labor still is cheap and likely to remain so for a long while, says Witman. The Yasui Indians, who furnish it, are fanatically loyal to the Obregon government, which is doing its utmost to make life and business safe. These Yaquis, long slaves of the rich landowners, now have turned the tables, however, and are gaining an independence which they never knew under Mexican administrations preceding that of Obregon. Tomatoes, cantaloupes and other garden truck are being shipped already. Antities to the Eastern market from this region, says Witman. Transportation is available, crops can be matured any time of year the grower likes and there is plenty of water. Life is safer than it ever has been before in Mexico, Witman declares. LOCAL POSTOFFICE UP ANOTHER GRADE Anaheim's postoffice has been put into the eighth and last grade of the second class, effective July 1. Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn announces July 1 is the opening of the new fiscal year of the Postoffice Department. The step upward carries with it an advance in Ahlborn's salary to $3,000. The announcement comes as no surprise to those who have followed the reports of the office the last six months. April's showing was no exception to the forward march, the aggregate in receipts not counting money orders being $3381.26 compared with $2540.62 in the fourth month of 1921, an improvement of more than 33 per cent. For the entire first four months of the year the total was $12,596.33 against $10,573.53 in 1921. SANTA ANA HOTEL IS CLOSED AGAIN The dining-room of St. Anna's Inn Santa Ana, was closed today and the other departments will be closed on Thursday, following disagreement between the directors of the Santa Ana Hotel Company and W. H. Moore, trustee in bankruptcy for W. H. Hewins. The hotel company offered $22,000 for the furniture—a sum $2,000 in excess of what it was worth, they claimed—and Moore wanted $35,000. Moore now proposes to auction off the furniture and other equipment room by room. He is given 15 days or more in which to consummate the sales. The directors of the hotel company will refurnish it new throughout, more elaborately than it is at present, they declare. The Inn then will be closed for two or three months to permit the refitting and repairs. PUNGENT BREATHS EXCITE SUSPICION LOS ANGELES, May 8—More than a dozen motorists faced prosecution under the Burbank anti-liquor ordinance today because they had pungent breaths, according to prohibition agents. The motorists were arrested by federal prohibition agents, assisted by City Marshal Cole of Burbank, in connection with a drive to ascertain the location or a secret still from which scores of persons are believable to obtain liquor supplies. DIDN'T ATTEMPT KIDNAPING WASHINGTON May 8—Were found in Alton Wood park early today. Miss Dunn had been shot through the left breast. Kane died from a bullet fired through his mouth. Beside his right hand lay a colt automatic. Police found no evidence of a struggle and there was no indication of a double suicide pact. So far as early investigations showed, the couple, who had been constantly together lately, are not known to have quarreled. The fact that a bullet had found the girl's heart, killing her instantly; that wild flowers she had picked were still in her hand and that there was no sign of a struggle, caused doubt in the minds of the police regarding what appeared upon the surface of things to be a case of murder and suicide. Kane served as a sergeant and instructor at the Paris Island marine corps training camp in South Carolina during the war. Miss Dunn had just renewed her contract as a teacher in the public schools.

WHERE DOES IT LONDON, May 8—The London Lancet, if been suffering from cyanosis, you haven't been alling you is either The step upward carries with it an advance in Ahlborn's salary to $3,000. The announcement comes as no surprise to those who have followed the reports of the office last six months. April's showing was no exception to the forward march, the aggregate in receipts not counting money orders being $3381.26 compared with $2540.62 in the fourth month of 1921, an improvement of more than 38 per cent. For the entire first four months of the year the total was $12,596.33 against $10,573.53 in 1921. This is a gain of 18 per cent, for most of which April and March are responsible. That is, in January and February of this year business was so disturbed by the moving of the office and other causes that the gains in the two months were not marked. Box rentals in the second quarter of this year were over $100 more or over 50 per cent greater than last, owing to the larger capacity of the new office. Postal money orders for the month issued here aggregated approximately $15,000. This would be at the rate of $180,000 per year or an improvement of $30,000 over the previous year. Money orders, however, do not count toward changing the grade or class of a postoffice. GOVERNMENT FREES BABIES FROM JAIL CHICAGO, May 8.—Six women, four of them with babies, were liberated from the county jail today on pardons granted by Governor Len Small. The women and their child had been in jail since Thursday when they were arrested for violation of an injunction against picketing a plant where a strike was in progress. The alleged offense was committed two years ago at a time when none of the women were married. The case has been in the courts since that time.

The motorists were arrested by federal prohibition agents, assisted by City Marshal Cole of Burbank, in connection with a drive to ascertain the location or a secret still from which scores of persons are believed to obtain liquor supplies. DIDN'T ATTEMPT KIDNAPING WASHINGTON, May 8.—Senator Culberson of Texas had no hand in an attempt to knapap Alexander Edward Robertson, British subject and sultor for the hand of the Senator's daughter. The Senator did employ a private detective, however, to investigate Robertson, of whom little was known. Robertson was working in a garage at Austin, Texas, when he met Miss Culberson at the University of Texas where she was a co-ed.

Daugherty to reveal the "real people" behind the attacks on the department of justice in connection with the war contract fraud cases was issued today. The challenge was sent by Representative Royal C. Johnson, Republican, South Dakota, and Representative Roy O. Woodruff, Republican of Michigan, the two ex-service members of the house, who have been pushing for a congressional investigation of the government's laxity in prosecuting the fraud cases. GRAND JURY CALLS KLAN WITNESSES LOS ANGELES, May 8—The first witnesses were called before the county grand jury today in its investigation of the Ku Klux Klan and the Inglewood mob violence, which is expected to result in at least a score of indictments. With District Attorney Woolwine doing the questioning, Fidel and Mathias Elduayen, whose home at Inglewood was raided by the masked mob, were called to tell their stories. While they were before the jury, Paul Barksdale d'Orr, attorney for 28 men who have confessed participating in the raid, was scheduled to appear at the federal building to demand the arrest of the Elduayens for alleged violation of the prohibition laws. D'Orr, with Nathan A. Baker, kleagle of the klan, and L. L. Bryson, Huntington Park druggist, con- STYLE REVUE FEATURE OF VALENCIA SHOW The finest and most elaborate fashion show ever seen in Orange county will be presented at the Orange Show, according to Sidney E.

BANDITS IN IRELAND LOOT VAULT OF BANK LEINSTER, Ireland, May 8. — Robbers early today forced the manager of the Leinster bank to get out if bed and open the vault, which then was looted. The robbers escaped. MIDWAY BRINGS IN WELL AT SPRINGS Another well came in yesterday at Santa Fe Springs on property of the petroleum Midway Company. There was considerable excitement at first when gas poured forth, and it was feared that another gasser had broken loose. This lasted for only about two hours, however, when the well ruptured down and later oil began to come out. The company soon had the well under control. CASH REGISTER FOUNDER DEAD ATLANTIC, CITY, N. J., May 8. — The founder and chairman of the National Cash Register Co., John H. Peterson, of Dayton, is dead here of heart disease. The death occurred on the train which was bringing him here. WHERE DOES IT HURT? LONDON, May 8. — Take it from the London Lancet, if you have been suffering from enterogenous cyanosis, you haven't. What has been alluring you is either methomone doing the questioning, Pater and Mathias Elduayen, whose home at Inglewood was raided by the masked mob, were called to tell their stories. While they were before the jury, Paul Barksdale d'Orr, attorney for 28 men who have confessed participating in the raid, was scheduled to appear at the federal building to demand the arrest of the Elduayens for alleged violation of the prohibition laws. D'Orr, with Nathan A. Baker, kleagle of the klan, and L. L. Bryson, Huntington Park druggist, confessed leaders of the raiders, informed federal officers they were ready to surrender bottles of whiskey, gun, brandy and wine which they purchased and seized at the Elduayen place during the raid. Blake E. Shambeau, Inglewood motorcycle officer; Frank Woerner, Inglewood city marshal; Clyde Vattanna, eye-witness to the gun battle between Woerners and the raiders, which resulted in the killing of Constable Mosher and the wounding of two others: R. D. Knickerbocker and Donald Parker, newspaper men who witnessed the raid, were expected to be before the jury during the day. Shambeau's testimony at the inquiry over the body of Constable Mosher first linked the Ku Kluz Klan, as an organization, with the raid, Woerner single-handed, fought the mob, routing it after a gun battle with Mosher and several others. Knickerbocker and Parker, who resigned as klansmen after the raid, were present when the raiders entered the Elduayen home. District Attorney Woolwine announced that evidence will be placed before the jury to completely and positively link the klan with the raid. He said that nearly 200 witnesses will probably be called and that the jury's investigation may last more than two weeks. A mass of documentary evidence, highly important, which was seized when the Ku Klux Klan headquarters here were raided, will be given the jurors during the week. William S. Coburn, grand goblin of the klan, announced today that he will be a willing witness if he is called before the jury. Coburn indicated he will answer all questions asked him in an effort to show that the klan was not responsible for the raid. A similar attitude, it is expected, will be taken by G. W. Price, king kleagle of the klan in California. The names of more than 400 members of the klan in Los Angeles city and county will probably be released for publication by the jury during the investigation, it was learned today. The names were found on the lists seized in the raid on klan headquarters and have been kept secret for the jury by Woolwine. ARRAIGN TYSON ON STATUTORY CHARGE On a trip in which they circled 24 cities of Southern California, Paul Clausen and Wally Timm, the well known air pilot of Chester Young of Santa Ana, gave the second annual California Valencia Orange Show some unique publicity yesterday. They dipped down to within 300 ft. of the main tent and also the flag pole at Los Angeles and Center streets. Timm is brother of the well known airship constructor. The two started at about 10:35 a.m. from Young's flying field in Santa Ana and followed this route: Santa Ana, Balboa Beach, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Sunset Beach, Long Beach, Scal Beach, San Pedro, Redondo, Hermosa, El Segundo, Venice, Ocean Park, Santa Monica, Bevry Hills, Sawtelea, Sherman, Hollywood and Los Angeles. At the metropolis they stopped at Rodger's "airport" for gas and to get a bite of lunch. They proceeded to Montebello, Pomona, Whittier, Fullerton, Anahim, Orange and back to Santa Ana where they arrived at 3:50 p.m. Over Pomona they ran into a heavy fog and lost their way for about 20 minutes, which delayed their arrival at San Bernardino and Riverside. The two scattered literature as they went, and their machine bore a sign telling them what they represented. Similar trips will be made on the 20th and 21st when better results will be obtained, if the weather is fair. On the next trips Young himself may be pilot. Routes at least slightly different will be followed, also so as to give this show as wide publicity as possible. The work of erecting the tents continues to proceed rapidly. Malcolm Fraser, manager, has opened an office on the grounds, a long distance telephone booth has been erected, and arrangements are progressing much more satisfactorily. ARRAIGN TYSON ON STATUTORY CHARGE WASH REGISTER FOUNDER DEAD ATLANTIC, CITY, N. J., May 8. — The founder and chairman of the National Cash Register Co., John H. Paeterson, of Dayton, is dead of heart disease. The death occurred on the train which was bringing him here. WHERE DOES IT HURT? LONDON, May 8. — Take it from the London Lancet, if you have been suffering from enterogenous cyanosis, you haven't. What has been alluring you is either methomoglobinaemia or sulphaemoglobinaemia. Further than that there are no explanations. DAVISON LEAVES $10,000,000 NEW YORK, May 8. — The estate of Henry P. Davison, deceased partner of J. P. Morgan & Co., will amount to approximately $10,000,000 friends say. He also carried a large mount of insurance. Clean Up Your Auto Before Valencia Show Untidy grounds and unpainted houses are only one of many illustrations of neglect of appearances which might with a little work be avoided. Unshined shoes, unkempt clothing or dirty, unpainted automobiles, etc., etc., are others. Just a few hours' labor oftener than not would work a transformation in any or all of these cases. There has been a gratifying response to the Plain Dealer's suggestions to paint up and clean up, and many property-owners and tenants have gone to work on their own initiative to improve appearances in preparation for the Orange Show. We don't believe in cleanliness only once a week, any more than we believe in religion only once a week or anything else worth while only once a week. But we do believe there is a special obligation now to clean up and paint up so that outsiders who come here for the Orange Show will receive the best possible impression of the city. Let's get busy, men, every one of us individually, and the sooner the better. All together now! REFERS LETTER TO P. O. AUTHORITIES The federal postoffice inspectors in Los Angeles will have to prosecute such Ku Klux Klan cases as that of H. J. Efker, who received a threatening communication on Klan stationery similar to the one sent James H. Clark, District Attorney/A. P. Nelson said today. This case unlike overt acts such as the Inglewood affair, comes under federal and not state laws, said Nelson. Efker declared that he knew who wrote the letter and had evidence which would bring the offender to court. The man is said to be the same person who sent the letter to the former proprietor of the Valencia hotel. This man was identified by the peculiar formation of certain letters on the typewriter in his office and by fingerprints found on the machine and the letter, according to Clark's friends. No overt acts such as the Inglewood raid have been committed in Orange county. Nelson confirmed the report that the man accrued of Efker was one of those whose names were reported as belonging to the Klan in this county. There is a state law against the wearing of masks, etc., in committing various acts, but the only instance of Klansmans or supposed Klansmen wearing masks in the county was that of the visit to the Fairhaven cemetery in Orange, where a band placed flowers on the grave of Miss Ida Miller, who just previously had been employed by the Santa Ana News. There was nothing wrong or illegal in this visit, however. Efker's attorney as well as the District Attorney is working on this case. The latter said, regarding the roll ARRAIGN TYSON ON STATUTORY CHARGE William Tyson of Fullerton was arraigned before Superior Judge William H. Ellis of Riverside in court at Santa Ana today, charged with a statutory offense. Judge Z. B. West was to have been occupied with another case and Judge Ellis took his place.
