Nelson Hands Efker Letter to Postoffice Authorities No men of particular prominence in Anaheim belong to the Ku Klux Klan, District Attorney A. P. Nelson admitted today. Nelson is well-acquainted in this city and said he knew of no such members here. Some of the members are businessmen here, he said. Furthermore, no police officials here belong to the order. In both respects, Anaheim differs from cities in other counties. Asked whether any police officials in other cities of the county were included in the list supplied by District Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine of Los Angeles county to him, Nelson refused to say one way or the other. Famous Diamond Brings Small Sum NEW YORK, May 10. — The famous Daryea-L-Noor diamond, said to be 44 karats, on which its owner, the Princess Fakima and her three sons had placed hopes of financial relief, brought only $5500 at an auction sale today.

Nelson is well-acquainted in this city and said he knew of no such members here. Some of the members are business men here, he said. Furthermore, no police officials here belong to the order. In both respects, Anaheim differs from cities in other counties. Asked whether any police officials in other cities of the county were included in the list supplied by District Attorney Thomas Lee Woolwine of Los Angeles county to him, Nelson refused to say one way or the other. Nelson today remained firm in his stand against revealing the names of those in the county on the Klan rolls. He reiterated that he was not disposed to make trouble for men who had been involved into membership without realizing the step they were taking. There is an increasing disposition on the part of such men to sever their connection with the Klan. Nelson has communicated with the postoffice inspector's office in Los Angeles regarding the prosecution of the persons responsible for the letter to Herman J. Efker, proprietor of the Anaheim Novelty Co. This case, if the required evidence can be obtained, will be prosecuted as an offense in using the mails to defraud or harm. Efker was out of town most of the day today and could not be seen. Efker's case still is the only one which has been brought officially to Nelson's attention, the latter said. He has done nothing to proscribe this or any other case himself. The intimidation attempted by the Klan, which sent members to his house, asked his wife to have him "call off" activities against the Klan, has completely failed, and Nelson is letting the matter rest. NEW FIRE PUMP HAS BEEN SHIPPED City Manager O. E. Steward has received word from the Seagrass Company of Columbus, Ohio, that the auxiliary pump for the fire truck was shipped April 29 and should arrive this afternoon in Los Angeles where the truck will be taken for the installation.

"Y" FUND NEARLY RAISED; CLEAN POOL With practically all but $1,000 paid in and the rest pledged, interest in the Y. M. C. A. fund drive is turning today from the drive itself to the results which the proceeds will make possible. Assistant Secretary Carl S. Warner said today that the next move would be to clean up the property at 497 South Philadelphia-st, repair it, and make of it a community athletic center under the supervision of an experienced man. Until such a man can be obtained Warner, who formerly was assistant secretary at Orange, will be in charge. Fellows who want to go to camp this summer may see him there.

GENOA CONFERENCE AWAITS SLAV NOTE GENOA, May 10—Russia's reply to the allied note, ready for delivery this afternoon, shared interest at the economic conference with the announcement of the council of ambassadors that Germany must recompense the United States for Zeppelin destroyed and not delivered in compliance with the treaty of Versailles. The amount due the United States from Germany was fixed by the council at approximately 3,000,000 gold marks, or about $750,000.

HOPEFUL FOR 1924 OLYMPICS LOS ANGELES, May 10.—Hope that Los Angeles may get the 1924 Olympiad was revived today when dispatches from Paris said that the Olympic games may not be held in that city because orf the failure of the French government to make necessary appropriations. The French Olympic games committee, in fact, served an ultimatum on the government to the effect that the 1924 games will automatically go to Los Angeles if the necessary appropriations are not passed by June 1. 2 POLICE KILLED IN CHICAGO LABOR WAR CHICAGO, May 10.—Chicago today was an armed camp, as every available policeman rounded up suspects in the latest outbreak of the labor war here, which culminated in the slaying of two policemen, wounding of another and the bombing of two plants during the night.

The Plain Dealer, Anaheim, Cal. Dear Sirs:—Kindly let me state thru your paper to the people of Anaheim that members of the Anaheim Municipal band feel decidedly hurt over lack of consideration shown them in arranging the musical attractions for the Second Cal. Vatican Orange show. I have never been in the habit of doing much horn blowing outside the band, but I will say right here that you will have to go a long way to find a better band in a city the size of Anaheim. For instance, the Anaheim musicians include not one but several who have made professional tours of the country with nationally known bands and concert companies. Last week two members of the Anaheim band played with Philharmonic men in Los Angeles. Solos can be produced on a dozen different instruments, practically the entire instrumentation of the band. The band members are not smarting so much over the fact that a large sum of money is being paid for an outside orchestra. That is all but they are hurt over the evident lack of appreciation for their efforts and talents. They practice regularly every week throughout the year. Their only remuneration is an appropriation from the city for a series of summer concerts which obviously doesn't begin to pay the men for their time and energy. As one member put it: "The Anaheim band is considered entirely too good to appear when there is no fund with which to pay the musicians, but when real money is being paid out, the local organization is entirely overlooked." I am aware that the San Bernardino orange show presented the San Bernardino Elks' band and other similar exhibitions engaged local talent. Why hasn't Anaheim done this? Remember the slogan, "Made in Anaheim." E. B. TOZIER. Director for Anaheim Municipal Band. BROTHER TAKES "BUM" PARSON London, May 10.—Rev.

JAPS FINED $300 ON LIQUOR CHARGE Mr. and Mrs. K. Yanai, Japanese were given a hearing today before Judge Howard in the local justice court. The husband was charged with making liquor and the wife with selling it. The officers are said to have raided their home near Garden Grove recently, captured a still, several gallons of whiskey and a barrel of mash, and to have found on the woman a marked bill which a man testified as having given her for whiskey. The couple were fined $300 each, and they paid their fine. CHARGE TRAFFIC VILATIONS F. E. Grisgy and J. E. Wilbeom were arrested by the local police on charges involving violations of the motor vehicle traffic laws. Grisgy was charged with parking his car in a driveway. Wilbeom was charged with speeding. They have not yet been given a hearing.

THOSE WEEDS COME UP EASILY, NOW! The rain yesterday may be the last of any moment in many months to come. Better take advantage of it, Messrs. Property-Owner and Tenant, to get after that lawn. Weeds will come up easily now that soon will have to be dug out. Lawns can be trimmed and primed more easily than in weeks past. And while you are about it, make a single job and paint up too. It's remarkable the way humans will exercise until they drip, perhaps at golf, tennis or what-not, but shun necessary and useful manual work as if it were poison oak. Much of the benefit of your work is not what you put into the garden, lawn or buildings, but what you yourself get out of it. But your neighbor's benefit lies principally in the brightening up of your premises. Then, when your place has been put back into shape, it will be an easy matter to do a little work regularly and keep it so. Clean up! Paint up! WAKE UP! DEALER E COUNTY WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR TS JUMP ert at H. S. Auditorium Friday OVER MILLION INCREASE IN YEAR Five Local Institutions Show Highly Prosperous Condition in Latest Reports With gains of well over $1, 000,000 in both resources and deposits between April 28, last year and May 5 this year, the five local banks show a highly prosperous condition. The two dates selected were those of the bank calls, state and national. Gains of approximately $200,000 were made over the last previous bank call on March 10. The precise figures of gains, neglecting cents in the case of each institution, were: For the year, deposits, $1,118,172; resources, $1, 057,760; for the two months, deposits $190,365; resources, $227, 471. SLAIN MAN'S DAUGHTER SLAIN MAN'S DAUGHTER ON STAND What was the motive of Ramon Castro and Francisco Gonzales in slaying Demetro Rodriguez at Twin Barns near Buena Park? Today the jury for the trial was selected before Judge Z. B. West, Dolores Rodriguez, 15-year-old daughter of the murdered man took the stand, and the first steps in unravelling the tragic story and the history which preceded it began. The girls testified that the two slayers had been present at her parents' house repeatedly before the murder, and that he feared the vengeance that was coming. The jury hearing the case prosecuted by District Attorney A. P. Nelson consists of three women and nine men. The 12 are: Mrs. Edna E. Stephenson, Mrs. Rebecca Pope, Mrs. Addie A. Drake, J. C. Mauerhan, A. A. Bennett, A. L. Cotant, A. R. Christiansen, W. D. Livingston, C. G. Lott, M. L. Lane, J. H. Utz and C. A. Westgate. Vengeance on the ground of personal wrong committed by Rodriguez against Castro is not the only motive that has appeared as the facts have come out. Trouble over Castro's attention to the girl also has been suggested as a motive. Perhaps both facts constituted Castro's reasons for the crime. The main motive, however, is believed to have been as first suggested, Castro's rage against Rodriguez for appearing against him in connection with a crime committed in the northern part of the state, for which Castro served a sentence at San Quentin penitentiary. This crime is said to have been a statutory one. The girl started today to tell the story of how the two murderers hung about the house; how her father rode forth on his bicycle early on the fatal morning to his doom; how filled with forebodings, she followed him, and how he was pursued into one of the two barns at Twin Barnes and shot down behind the building by the two men. She will tell how, without avail, she tried to rush between and besought Castro to spare his life but he proceeded unheeding to carry out his vengeance. Castro sought the girl in marriage, and May 5 this year, the five local banks show a highly prosperous condition. The two dates selected were those of the bank calls, state and national. Gains of approximately $200,000 were made over the last previous bank call on March 10. The precise figures of gains, neglecting cents in the case of each institution, were: For the year, deposits $1,118,172; resources $1,-057,760; for the two months, deposits $190,365; resources $227,-471. Deposits and resources respectively aggregated on the three dates: April 28, 1921, $4,255,385 and $E-128,262; March 10, 1922, $5,183,-192 and $5,958,551; May 5, 1922, $5,373,557 and $6,186,022. Local bank officials pointed out that while the year's period perhaps gave the city a fair showing, the two months—March 10 to May 5—did not. The gains mentioned therefore, may be regarded as conservative and not selected to show the banks at best advantage. One institution made a gain of more than $57,000 in deposits during the two-months period, and of more than $83,000 in resources, another of more than $62,000 in deposits and more than $80,000 in resources. Gains in deposits of more than $434,000 and in resources of more than $446,000 were made by one bank during the year. BOY SCOUTS HERE ARE GIVEN BADGES The Junior High School was the meeting place of the Northern Orange-co Court of Honor last evening. Scout Executive Roland T. Dye presided and awarded the badges.
