Helmer of Santa Ana must make an accounting of approximately $20,000, part of $47,000 to $50,000 which they collected from the sale of stock in the Huntington Crube Oil Co., to the 40 or more purchasers, mostly Anaheimers, Judge R. Y. Williams ruled Yes, I'm a full-fledged Anaheim—Make my living here, you know; and though I don't cut any ice, I'm not so blooming slow in figuring out the problem. Of "buy it all right here."

Do you know H. R. Grove, of Hudson and Essex fame? Of course you do, and what is more, you know and we all know, that his pair of super autos are right in the front rank of American automotive development. Mr. Grove looks out for the business of Townsend and Medbery, Inc., local agents for these two fine cars, and he has his hands full taking care of the popular demands of two of the greatest cars ever built. Go in to see him in low gear and he will put you in "high spirits." God bless the hard working girls. They have more credit coming than any other people that serve the public. The manner in which you use a telephone indicates largely what you are. Many persons have dug their grave with their tongue. Discourtesy hurts the person who uses it more than the person toward whom it is directed. Ask some of your who-morants and they will tell you they have proved that courtesy is a good investment. Do not overlook the fact that telephone girls are human and have more patience than all other classes of people combined. Give them a square deal. They are at your service night and day. I understand that this is going to be a Palge year and further, it is going to be a Jewett year. This cognate pair of wonderful autos are forever springing surprises on the public. The Palge the acms of perfection for a moderate price and the sister-car. The Jewett, that champion little hill climber, with her wonderfully flexible engine, at a popular price. Sam Hubbell, the local agent, told me the whole story. Sam spent sixteen years in Long Beach and now he is going to spend the rest of his natural life in Anaheim—keeping the highways handsome with their finest and prettiest ornaments—the Paige and the Jewett. This is the night at the Anaheim Athletic arena—the big open air "squared circles" and at the Sugar plant grounds (this will sweeten the pot) when Billy Darnley, capable promoter, will stage a series of fistic encounters that bid fair to out rival the little shows put on formerly by Alexander the Great and Foch. All lowers of the manly art of self defense should go to the big show. Court So Orders in Case of A. E. Ensign and L. M. Heimer A. E. Ensign of Anaheim and L. M. Heimer of Santa Ana must make an accounting of approximately $20,000, part of $47,000 to $50,000 which they collected from the sale of stock in the Huntington Crube Oil Co., to the 40 or more purchasers, mostly Anaheimers, Judge R. Y. Williams ruled at the conclusion of the civil action in superior court at Santa Ana. The leases on 20 acres of land at Huntington Beach, which the two obtained for the oil company and subsequently sold to the Success Oil Co., have lapsed and the latter is out of the case. Various stockholders of the Huntington Crude Oil Co., discovered that their assets, barring the $20,000 the recovery of which is uncertain, are larger than was supposed, when testimony at the trial was completed. It appeared that the company, mainly thru Ensign, purchased all told 70 acres originally, instead of the 50 mentioned, and that while the two 10-acre Robinson and Carey leases have lapsed, three other 10-acre leases still are good, provided drilling is done in time, while MacIntyre Bros. sub-leased another 20 acres on which a well is expected to come in. The $27,000 or more which Ensign and Helmer received in addition to the $20,000 for which they must make accounting, was expended for leases, attorneys' fees, derricks and their expenses and salaries as promoters and salesmen of stock. John Theriot's part in connection with the business was with the Success Oil Co., the testimony showed. F. C. Eisenhauer, President Adolf Thomas of the Golden State National Bank, A.E. Hargrove and other prominent Anaheimers are among the men who backed the Huntington Crude Oil Co. Leonard Evans of Anaheim was one of the attorneys for the defense. PAYS FINE AFTER TRYING OUT JAIL LOSANGELES. June 16. After spending one night in jail, Mrs. M. L. Norton, 3465 Haildale avenue, who had said she would serve a 35-day jail sentence rather than pay a $35 fine for exceeding the speed limit in Vermont avenue near West Sixtieth street, announced today she would pay her fine. SEEK CAUSE OF BIG NEW YORK FIRE ARVERNE, N. Y., June 16. With 15,000 persons homeless and 16 blocks of Arverne in smoking ruins, police today were searching for the cause of the conflagration which swept 400 buildings in this New York city suburb last night, causing a loss of $2,000,000.

All lovers of the manly art of self-defense should go to the big show. The main bout is attributed to Dudley vs. Hunt, and besides them will be four snappy preliminaries. If you like clean boxing and a pleasant evening, don't fail to get in line. I have met the dean of tire doctors in Anaheim—G. B. Daniels, who came here and started a tire repairing business more than nine years ago. Yes, he knows the game as well as any living man. He has followed the trade through the great evolution of tire development—he can fix 'em and he sells 'em, too. And then there is Joe Nichols, the automobile glass expert. He is right next door to Daniels (in fact the same den) and he is right next door to one of them when it comes to the business of "glass for the auto." Did he ever stop to figure out the unt of glass in a car—from the headlight to the tail-light? Do so and you will be surprised at what you find. Take a complete inventory and take "panes" in doing it. Joe Nichols can render any kind of service for "glass for the auto." HUGE SUM PAID FOR DANZIGER ESTATE LOS ANGELES, June 16.—A syndicate, acting through A. C. Walter, manager of the Beverly Hills interests of Frank Mellne Co., has agreed to pay $2,000,000 for the famous 1800-acre estate of Mrs. Daisy Canfield Danziger—known throughout the country as one of the most beautiful show places in America. This transaction constitutes one of the largest residence property deals in the history of the Pacific coast. It is understood that the property will be cut into tracts and sold for homesites. SEEK CAUSE OF BIG NEW YORK FIRE ARVERNE, N. Y., June 16.—With 15,000 persons homeless and 16 blocks of Arverne in smoking ruins, police today were searching for the cause of the conflagration which swept 400 buildings in this New York city suburb last night, causing a loss of $2,000,000. HOPE FOR U.S.FUNDS FOR CAL.NAVY YARD WASHINGTON, June 16.—Hopes were high today for a large appropriation for the Mare Island navy yard, California; Senator Poindexter, Washington; and Newberry, Michigan, the foremost adversaries of such an appropriation, have ceased to struggle. $80,000 G.G.SCHOOL BONDS A bond issue of $80,000 for a new grammar school may be called soon at Garden Grove. The high school district has voted $125,000 for a new site and building. New Well Affords W For Population of 12 The new well now being put down for the city, announced today for completion by July 15, will allow for a population of at least 12,.000 persons, City Engineer V. W.Hannum said today. This estimate is on the basis of the minimum amount pumped by all four wells and by no means represents the maximum or, perhaps, even the mean this year. For example, the 1200 gallon per minute minimum of the new well may pass the 1600 gallon mark and, judging by two similar wells now, will pass 1500 gallons, unless the water-the single 800 gallon well is now near 900 gallons. At present an aggregate of 4400 gallons of water are being pumped by the three existing wells. Figuring 1500 gallons per minute for the new well this would be an increase of more than 32 per cent. The present capacity to suffice as usual for a location than the city acts as to allow for shortage. With the demands of domestic consumers, etc., water to waste, but the wells when measured thigh 51 feet, 11 inches below compared with 73 feet, on the corresponding day. The best showing so far was only 59 feet, 11 inch 1, showing that while it the spring and this sum slight, Anaheim like the munities dependent upon Ana is benefitting by the big snowpack in the dinos. So long as water is flown Santa Ana canyon the weefit, Hannum said. ain Deal DING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE CO Anaheim, California, Friday, June 16, 1922 A. PIBEL WILL CONSTRUCT STATION Council Adopts Plans to Cover Fullerton Baseball Bleachers for Park City council at an adjournid meeting late yesterday afternoon decided to proceed at once with erection of the comfort station in the city park at the corner of Lemon and Cypress streets. All bids were rejected and it was decided to buy in the open mar LABOR GOV'T IN BRITAIN IN 10 YRS. No Militaristic Party in Germany if People Can Get Food There will be a labor government in England within ten years, Bromley Oxnam, pastor of the Church of All Nations in Los Angeles, and noted sociologist, told 200 banqueters at the White Temple last night, in giving some impressions on a recent trip to Europe. SPEAKER TO TELLNEEDS OF EAST A Community Motion Picture Service, exhibiting a two-reel picture of "Alice In Hungerland," will be held by the Rev. Charles V. La Fontaine in the social hall at Olinda on Monday, June 19, at 7:30 p.m., in which the condition of the childhood of America will be shown. Rev. La Fontaine will tell of actual living conditions of the present day, and the service will be of intense interest to everyone.

Council Adopts Plans to Cover Fullerton Baseball Bleachers for Park City council at an adjournment meeting late yesterday afternoon decided to proceed at once with erection of the comfort station in the city park at the corner of Lemon and Cypress streets. All bids were rejected and it was decided to buy in the open market, taking advantage of a contract offered by A. H. Pibel for $5012 with whom the city attorney was instructed to sign up. It was found that the city would save little if anything by attempting to contract for separate items of material and construction. The contract with Pibel will probably be approved by council at the meeting next Thursday night following which construction will be rushed. Council adopted plans and specifications for baseball grandstand. These cover the present grandstand in Commonwealth ave., ball park, at Fullerton, owned by Glenn Callan, Paul Price and C. Clark. An application for increase in salary from the present figure of $75 per month to $125 was received from City Recorder Chas. Kuchel who will give his entire time to the city work in the event the latter figure is approved. The matter was referred to the police, light and water committee. The Neuner Co., Los Angeles, was given contract for printing $80,000 outfall sewer bonds. The city clerk was instructed to call for bids to be opened July 12, 10,123 feet of six-inch cast-iron sewer pipe, 16 manholes, 11 flush tanks and 338 "Ys". Each Ys means a possible sewer connection, or that many buildings. This will cost around $9000. It will provide sewers for J. L. Moore, Jewett, Fern, Mono Vista and Dolan tracts. All councilmen, city manager, city clerk and new city attorney were present at the afternoon meeting. City Attorney Weisel seems to be grabbing hold of the ropes in nice fashion. NEARLY ALL ZEYN TRACT SOLD OUT With the exception of a very few lots the Zeyn tract is practically all sold, much to the credit of the Golden State Realty Co. During the last few days two lots on No. Lemon-st were sold to Mr. and Mrs. Herman Karsten. Another lot was purchased by Mrs. Mae Tedford. All of this property will be immediately improved. PHILIPPINES YEARN There will be a labor government in England within ten years, Bromley Oxnam, pastor of the Church of All Nations in Los Angeles, and nor-ed sociologist, told 200 banqueters at the White Temple last night, in giving some impressions on a recent trip to Europe. This will be accomplished without bloodshed because the people want the labor program, said the speaker. "At the last general election the labor party came within a fraction of a per cent of casting the most votes of any party and labor has grown since then." "Generally, the average British labor leader is a higher type than is found at the head of American labor." The speaker gave it as his opinion that the German people will never return the military regime to former power, "unless reparation demands are made soverever that people starve instead of merely hunger." Oxnam is a very rapid and forceful speaker. He held the closest attention of the audience. F. T. Edmiston was toastmaster in his usual witty manner, M. Engene Durfee sang several solos. Lloyd Nichols, teacher, and Dr. J. A. Gelssinger also spoke. The latter announced that an architect is at work on plans to double the size of the banquet room by extending it to the alley on the northside. This will then seat 500 at table at once. Other alterations and improvements to Sunday school class room facilities will make the total cost around $20,000 to $25,000. SCHUMACHERS ARE CHASED BY BANDIT Chased for 12 miles by a masked bandit through the Tehachapi Pass in their new Cadillac sedan, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob E. Schumacher of Anaheim today on their return from an extended trip beyond Bakersfield told the story of the most thrilling experience they have had since they owned a car. The wealthy ranch owner and feed man and his wife were making a combined business and pleasure trip north where he owns certain ranch porpetry. The attempt to hold them up took place at about 9:30 last Sunday evening. They were driving along at a moderate pace when they saw approaching a big, but rather shabby and less car driven by a single masked individual. The oncoming car had no lights. The driver signalled the two to stop, but Schumacher instead "stepped on the gas" and hit up a Rev. Charles V. L. Fontaine, formerly of Chicago, but now of Los Angeles, Field Executive and organizer for Southern California, will address the Sunday school departments of the First M. E. church at 9:30 o'clock. He will address the Sunday school of the Grace Lutheran church at 10:15 a.m., and the Sunday school and congregation of the Salem church of the Evangelical Association at 10:45 a.m. At 11:45 a.m. he will speak to the congregation of the First Christian church. Miss Irene Eldred, Supt. of Industrial department of Tarsus, Turkey, will address the Sunday school of the Presbyterian church at 9:455 a.m., and the Sunday school of the First Christian church at 10:30 o'clock. At 11:45 a.m. Miss Eldred will address the congregation of the Presbyterian church and at 11:30 a.m., the congregation of the Episcopal church. In the evening Rev. La Fontaine will conduct a union community service at the M. E. church at Yorba Linda and will exhibit a two-reel motion picture of "Alice In Hungerland," depicting the childhood of Armenia. Fords Water on of 12,000 The present capacity is supposed to suffice as usual for a larger population than the city actually has, so as to allow for shortages. With the demands of irrigation, domestic consumers, etc., there is no water to waste, but the level of the wells when measured this month was 81 feet, 11 inches below the surface, compared with 78 feet, five inches on the corresponding date last year. The best showing so far this year was only 59 feet, 11 inches, on April 1, showing that while rains late in the spring and this summer were light, Anaheim like the other communities dependent upon the Santa Ana is benefitting by the melting of the big snowpack in the San Bernardinos. So long as water is flowing in the Santa Ana canyon the wells here benefit, Hannum said. TRACT SOLD OUT With the exception of a very few lots the Zeyn tract is practically all sold, much to the credit of the Golden State Realty Co. During the last few days two lots on No. Lemon-st were sold to Mr. and Mrs. Herman Karsten. Another lot was purchased by Mrs. Mae Tedford. All of this property will be immediately improved. PHILIPPINES YEARN FOR INDEPENDENCE "The people of the Philippines yearn to see the fulfillment of their aspirations for national existence," the committee said. "We come in the full expectation that America cannot refuse specific realization of those purposes and ideals which found eloquent expression in her spokesmen, both in times of war and in times of peace reconstruction." WRITERS BARRED AT THE HAGUE BY ARMS THE HAGUE, June 16.—Correspondents were prevented by armed guards from entering the peace palace when the preliminary Hague conference met at noon.

Joseph Ybarra, better known as Joe Livers, pugilist, today lost a decision to the county when a default judgment for $5000 on bail bond was filed against him by Deputy County Counsel Roy W. Dowds. Rivers went on the bond of E. M. Delmas, alias E. M. Dowdy, who was arrested in Los Angeles for the alleged robbery of a man in Philadelphia of $33,500.

Supervisor Wm. Schumacher announced today. Most important will be a new park pavilion for which Frank Benchley of Fullerton is preparing plans. The pavilion as well as other improvements will correspond closely to the landseaping plan prepared by Miss Florence Yoch, Pasadena architect. Ample modern rest room facilities will be constructed. The women's section will include 36 chairs and the men's 18. The park will be expanded considerably and more stoves for picnickers will be arranged. SPLENDID SUPPORT AWAITS McFADDEN Since Ralph McFadden tossed his panama into the sheriff's race, he has been receiving gratifying support from not only all parts of No. Orange-co but also from the southern end. From Capistrano, where he has family connections he is as strong as mustard, according to Supervisor Wm. Schumacher who says: "While I didn't bring Ralph out, being pleasantly surprised along with a lot of other folks, I am most of all surprised at the wonderful response. Even at Santa Ana, where there are only four candidates already, there is keenest interest in Mac's candidacy while on the San Joaquin ranch and in other parts of the county there are evidences of worthwhile support." WOMAN IS BADLY HURT; TREATED HERE Mrs. Idia Davis was injured last night about 8:45 a.m. New Flush Production So. Cal. Building Up Great Reserve There was a report current among oil workers today that there would be a sharp reduction in the price of gasoline within the next few days. According to one report, the reduction would be as much as four cents a gallon wholesale, which would be announced next week. It is known that the gasoline reserve in California is mounting at a rapid rate due to the flush production at Signal Hill will be 40,000 barrels daily. Huntington Beach with 20,000, Santa Fe Springs and other new fields. Some of the local oilworkers professed a fear that the cut in the price of gasoline would be followed by wage reductions and consequent strike, comparable to the railroad situation. This of course is merely a surprise at this time. FUNNY FORD STUNTS AT ORANGE THURS. On lookers at the Ford Rodeo yesterday afternoon saw some machines as interesting as any bronches, during the running off of the contests. The thousands present in the morning were further augmented, and got all the fun there was coming from the program. In the se-saw contest R. F. Hill of Orange took the prize away in a field of eight contestants. He made his Ford teeter safely in 20 seconds. Hill also was victor in the riding the rails contest, doing the stunt in seven seconds. Gerald Parsons was second. Parsons was No. 1 in the backward race—purely voluntary—of 200 yards, run in a minute and 28 seconds. A Miller followed him six seconds later. Miller made up for his defeat by Parsons by winning the tug of war against Bob Wooley. Martie Thompson of Orange won the chief prize of the show, a new Ford touring car. Eddie Pullen, famous racing driver, gave a demonstration of the wonderful Lincoln car at the Ford garage of the S. V. Mansur Motor Co. Pullen thinks the Lincoln car is the most perfect machine made. At the garage also was presented a two-reel moving picture entitled "A Visit to Henry Ford," showing the way the Ford is made, etc. There was dancing at the garage also. A band dispensed music at the Plaza. Here a wedding was to have taken place, with Martin John Keepei, 21, and Rose Halbrohr, 19. The two decided to be married in Santa Ana instead. Rev. Harry Hill of the First WOMAN IS BADLY HURT; TREATED HERE Mrs. Ida Davis was injured last night about 8 o'clock when she was getting off a street car at Huntington Beach on her way home from Newport Beach where she is employed.
