CLAIM I Presently I will publish the complete honor roll of those business men and women who have made possible the great success of the Buy-In-Anahiem and Greater Prosperity campaign. Without their splendid cooperation the campaign could not have been—so I admonish you to remember these worthy deeds. Your first consideration should be for the man or woman who is doing all in their power to promote the interests of Anahiem. These merchants offer to you a service and merchandising advantages that you cannot improve upon elsewhere. Remember those names on the honor roll and remember the merchants who are doing their all for this city. If you want good, sound real estate advice or any kind of really service, including insurance and loans, then by all means go to see Eygabroad and Fisher. If you are not bent on business, go to see them any way. I'll wager you never met a more jovial organization in your life. They are all smiles and you know that "it pays to smile." Somebody has remarked facetiously that the consummer who runs out of town continually for the things he wants to buy is liable to get the galloping consumption. If the "running consumer" doesn't get the galloping consumption he is bound to get something a good deal worse. Before he comes galloping back he will have been so badly stung that he will not forget about his great run intourgains." Thomas Edison is a great boy to ask questions and I would like to have the opportunity or asking him how it comes about that he has the most perfect phonograph in all the world—The New Edison, "the phonograph with a soul." Not knowing the wizard of Orange (N.J.) I called upon his local lieutenants to get the answer. I got it, Dunham and Knife were the boys whournished me with the information. It is true indeed. The New Edison is the "final utterance" when it comes to photographs. Dunham and Knipe are the admirable co-operation. And, too—they sell the famous Sonora phonograph. Edison must go some to keep ahead of the Sonora. By the way Harry W. Hatch is another live-wire merchant who has his shop under the same roof as the Danz Piano Co., and Messers. Dunham and Knipe. Harry is in the sheet music game and also carries a large stock of small instruments and their accessories. It will be noted then that the store at 152 West Center street houses the "big Three" in the musical world. Music reigns supreme in this show and Hatch. Martial Law to Halt Uprising Reported After Cabinet Member Is Killed BERLIN, June 24.—Moh rule in Berlin and martial law has been declared following the assassination of Walter Rathenau, minister of foreign affairs and one of the "biggest men in Germany," here today. A manifesto has been issued by the trades unions calling upon the workers to resist a possible junk uprising. The cabinet has met in extraordinary session and has unanimously approved Chancellor Worth's declaration that the utmost steps must be taken to protect the republican government from trompling. The situation is the gravest that has confronted Germany since the kaiser fled from Berlin in 1918. Meanwhile the police have thrown a cordon around a section of the city and patrols in fast motor cars are endeavoring to run down the assassins of Rathenau, who escaped after the murder. Turbulent scenes were enacted in the reichstag this afternoon as a result of the assassination. Socialists attacked nationalist members, trying to drive them from the chamber. It took the president a quarter of an hour to restore order. Chancellor Wirth revealed that Dr. Rathenau knew his life was menaced. "The foreign secretary was warned weeks ago," said the chancellor. "I believe this outrage was due to the unscrupulous propaganda of reactionaries and also France's policy of hatred and suppression which is driving the Germans to desperation. I expect that my turn will come, too." Dr. Rathenau was murdered by assassins who threw a hand grenade. BERLIN BEAUTIFUL, SAYS FALKENSTEIN Here is another interesting letter from Wm. Falkenstein, whom the Plain Dealer requested to write of impressions on his trip to Europe. He says. After a very enjoyable week spent in Berlin we are very comfortably settled in our hotel in Nordhausen and are enjoying the quiet and beautiful surroundings very much. We are feeling fine. Spring has come at last and there is no question that we have selected the best time of the year for our trip. The beauty of the country in spring cannot be described. Next week we are going to Baden-Baden and after that to Baden-Baden and Switzerland.

Harry is in the sheet music game and also carries a large stock of small instruments and their accessories. It will be noted then that the store at 152 West Center street houses the "big Three" in the musical world. Music reigns supreme in this shop and Harry Hatch is doing his part to keep up the reputation of the premiers. Hatch is a former big leaguer in the musical game—he sold the Jazz and the classical in good old Philadelphia and later in Los Angeles, everything in sheet music and small instruments are there. This gland epidemic is getting serious. I understand that rich women of the eastern cities are about to enter into the glad realm. The poor goats and the chimpanzees are the goats for run down humanity. Rat catchers are all leaving for Africa to engage in chimpanzee catching and the poor simian of the jungle is in an awful pickle. But human glands last longer out in California and we who live here do not have to send to Africa for "parts" when the old machine is missing. I never caught a chimpanzee, but have shot bear and buffalo, that reminds me that I must tie or revolver for an eating tip. I know the place to go—L. N. Wesser. He has everything for the sportsman and to hang around his fine store makes one yearn for the great out doors. Some bicycle department in that store, too. Perhaps the largest store of its kind in Orange county, it certainly offers a diversified service. ANAHEIM PLASTERER FACES $1500 SUIT Mr. and Mrs. Fred Peck have brot suit in superior court for $1,500 damages against W. H. Kidd, Anaheim plasterer, whom they accuse of using materials other than those specified in the construction of a new house. Kid obtained the contract from the general contractor, A. H. Pibol. Ames & McFadden represent the plaintiffs. After a very enjoyable week spent in Berlin we are very comfortably settled in our hotel in Nordhausen and are enjoying the quiet and beautiful surroundings very much. We are feeling fine. Spring has come at last and there is no question that we have selected the best time of the year for our trip. The beauty of the country in spring cannot be described. Next week we are going to Herzberg and after that to Baden-Baden and Switzerland. Textile prices are absolutely soaring from day to day and only by personally calling on manufacturers are merchants able to get the quantities they need as the representatives and traveling men are limited to small quantities. I am told that a certain sheet blanket bot for 165 marks last week is quoted today at 310 marks. The business situation is so crazy here that it is impossible for us to understand it. Nobody can tell how long it is going to last as a reaction is bound to come. RECORD PRICE FOR 20 ACRES WALNUTS Sidnam Realty Co. has completed a sale to J. F. Witt and brothers, of Orange, of 20 acres of walnuts on the Katella Road, south of town, at what is believed the highest cash price of the year for unimproved walnut acreage. The land is a part of the Wm. Chambers ranch and brought the owner $2250 per acre or $45,000 for the tract. The grove adjoins a twenty acres owned by the Witt brothers and makes their holdings in that section forty acres of choice land. They own in addition some 53 acres o foranges near Orange and Olive and it is understood that their new purchase will be set to valencias at once. The Witt brothers are of a pioneer Orange-co family and are among the most successful growers of the district. Sidnam Realty Co. also report the recent sale of the 16-acre Kingman ranch at Orange for a consideration of $60,000.

Schnciker, manager of the local California Help Yourself store, asks: "Why cannot give store clerks a little vacation during July and August by closing at 6 or 7 Saturday evenings? This will permit them to get away to Big Bear or other distant resort that evening. Working from 7 or 8 a.m. to 9 or 10 p.m. at a fast gate each Saturday in hot weather is too much of a good thing. The clerks would certainly appreciate and I do not believe the employers would lose by it." Schnciker suggests that all retailers willing to cooperate in such a movement communicate with him. 59 CARLOADS SENT EAST THIS WEEK Valencia Market Continues Strong with F.O.B. Prices Up 25 Cents There is no united effort to keep Valencia orange shipments from California down to the minimum, or if there is market conditions have been too much for the independents and exchange associations—allike. This it least is indicated in the Anaheim district. COMMERCIAL ALCOHOL PLANT Anaheim Sugar Co. Spends Quarter Million for Improvements, Additions The Anaheim Sugar Co., in line with the industrial activity now evident in additions to various existing plants here and erection of new factories, has started a big distillery for the manufacture. CLAIM LOVE NOTES WERE IN CODE LOS ANGELES, June 24.—Supporting the state's sensational testimony charging that Madelynne Ohenchain and Paul Roman, a convict, "framed" the story of two "roughly dressed men" slaying J. Belton Kennedy, for whose murder Mrs. Ohenchain is on trial, Deputy District Attorney Asa Keys today revealed what the allegations is an elaborate code used by the two in "love notes." Letters alleged to have been written by Mrs. Ohenchain in the county jail, Keyes contended, told Roman, who was then in prison, what to say a court to substantiate her story of Kennedy's slaying. The defense, planning a hot attack on Rowan's testimony when the trial is resumed Monday, was rumored to be seeking the return of concludes from Folsom and San Quentin inmates and also prisoners from the county jail. By this means, it was reported, numerous efforts will be made to discredit the testimony of Roman that Mrs. Ohenchain made love to him on different occasions and "made up" the story of the slaying, with his assistance. The defense, it was said, does not want to deny that Madelynne wrote its "love message" introduced in court along with Roman's testimony, but will deny that she ever knew the victim before they were both in the county jail, where Roman was lodging his trial for robbery. Spending a restful night, Mrs. Ohenchain today was said to be apparently unconcerned over the surprise produced of her alleged letters to man, in which she was claimed to be written of her great love for her describing the code he claims. Mrs. Ohenchain and Roman used in their letters, Keyes expressed the诉说 that the "story" she referred supposedly being written by Romania was in reality the story he was tell on the witness stand in her Valencia Market Continues Strong iith F.O.B. Prices Up 25 Cents There is no united effort to keep Valencia orange shipments from California down to the minimum, or if there is market conditions have been too much for the independents and exchange associations alike. This it least is indicated in the Anaheim district. Including three mixed cars of oranges, lemons and grapefruit the district shipped 59 cars, only 10 less than last week. The independents alone showed a considerable reudition in cars sent out, and one of these shipped more cars than any other organization, although 10 less than last week, which was a record one. Another of the independents will increase shipments next week. Auctions, it is declared, have been very heavy this week. The Randolph Marketing Company reported prices of $6.35 a box for its Buldog brand and $5.85 for Terriers, the best figure this year far ahead of any prices last. The company continues to add to its vegetable acreage signed up for next season. The cantaloupe market apparently has gotten out of the control of the Imperial Valley shippers. The Valencia's current rival looks as if it would prove a liability instead of an asset. Losses now are being suffered, and have been ever since the price went down to $3.50, minus freight and 15 per cent commisssoon. The growers in the pool endeavored to reach an agreement to check shipments, but according to telegraphic word today had not succeeded in doing so. On June 22 shipments again broke all records with 521 cars and a total for the season of 4,474, which although the season was two weeks late compares with 5,883 on the same date last year. The market on Valencias continues strong with prices about 25 cents per box higher than last week. F. o. b. quotations, usual terms, range as follows: Best Orange county, $7.50 per box on sizes 200s and larger; $7.25 on 216s; $6.50 on 250s; $5.50 on 288s and $4.75 on 324s and smaller Some districts are willing to sell at 50 cents per box less than above prices. Delivered prices ranged about $9.00 per box for 200s and larger and $8.50 an 216s. Growers and shippers are closely watching conditions pertaining to next season's crop and are wondering what the effect of the sudden hot weather this month will be on the newly set fruit that has as yet not had a chance to make any growth. The so-called June drop will probably come in July this year, if at all. While the fruit in some districts Anaheim Sugar Co. Spends Quarter Million for Improvements, Additions The Anaheim Sugar Co., in line with the industrial activity now evident in additions to various existing plants here and creeton of new factories, has started a big distillery for the manufacture of commercial alcohol on a large scale. The fluid is manufactured from molasses or the residue from molasses after the sugar has been extracted. The framework is in position and the pouring of concrete is under way. The new plant is expected to be finished by fall. Owing to the low prices of sugar, beet pulp, a by-product sold formerly as cattle feed, is understood to be no longer profitable. Officials of the company remain reticent about the proposed quarter of a million dollar plant, whereby large savings were to be corrected in the manufacture of sugar. Officials are more optimistic than in months over the market situation. PREPARE TO BRING FURTHER CHARGES The Golden State Motor Co. will be prepared to bring additional charges against Walter Hodges, former salesman accused of embezzling a new Hupmobile, when he is brought to trial Aug. 14 in Superior Court at Santa Ana, an official of the firm said today. One of the new charges may be that of falsifying the name of the owner of the machine, which Hodges is accused of doing here in town before the alleged embezzlement of the machine to No. Calif., and San Diego took place. If the fact that the machine was registered in his name is to be part of Hodges' defence it will fail, this official said. No machine of the company during F. E. Valentine's control of it has been registered in Hodges' name, officials declared, nor has he been authorized except as an agent to conduct the financing of new machines in Los Angeles or elsewhere. Gilbert S. Donaldson of the investment firm bearing his name in Los Angeles asserted that the financing which Hodges had conducted with his firm and others in the metropolis was done in Hodges' name and that the cars involved had been registered similarly. No fund checks alleged to have been written by Hodges in Los Angeles, Bakerfield, San Diego and other cities have been showing up in some quantities. IN TURN FROM 3900 MILE MOTOR OUTING Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stanley red last evening from a 3900-motor trip in the north, sponcene time at Yosemite, which describe as being most beautinous account of the abundance of air in the streams. They had y of trout, and report a most fruitful trip, but as Mr. Stanley is it, "There is no place like Orcounty and Anaheim." VIOLATES TRAFFIC LAW Driver of the Taft and Sand Dementor Co. was arrested in Anahuala, and $30 to Mrs. Susan ale, of Orange, among several soldiers or their widows in ill. PENSIONS GRANTED Pension of $12 per month has granted to James L. Arnold, of Abra, and $30 to Mrs. Susan ale, of Orange, among several soldiers or their widows in ill. THE THERMOMETER Alimum 98 at 2:45 p.m. day is the second warmest day season. Ninety-eight at 2:45 compares with 99 at 3:00 p.m. today, the 19th. Some districts are willing to sell at 50 cents per box less than above prices. Delivered prices ranged about $9.00 per box for 200s and larger and $8.50 an 216s. Growers and shippers are closely watching conditions pertaining to next season's crop and are wondering what the effect of the sudden hot weather this month will be on the newly set fruit that has as yet not had a chance to make any growth. The so-called June drop will probably come in July this year, if at all. While the fruit in some districts has set very unevenly, other districts report a good setting. It is entirely too early, however, for estimates on the probable size of the coming crop. The cantaloupe movement out of the Imperial Valley is the heaviest ever known in the history of that industry. On June 21 450 cars were moved. The estimated movement for June 22 was 500 cars. The heaviest movement in a single day previously was on June 12, 1919, when 349 cars went forward. The total movement to date, however, is still around 1500 cars behind last year to the same date. Just what effect this heavy movement of cantaloupes will have on the market for other fruits as a whole is awaited with interest by shippers, but it is generally thought that the Valencia market will feel little or no effect. The market on California grapefruit is exceptionally strong at this time; $5 per box is the ruling f. o.b. quotation on best stock. The market on California lemons is a little groggy at this writing, due principally to the generally cool weather prevailing in the large consuming centers of the East. F. o.b. quotations on best stock ranges mostly on a basis of $5.50 to $5 per box. There are on hand and available for sale within the next 30 days approximately 181,000 boxes of foreign lemons, as against 58,000 boxes in 1921; 202,000 boxes in 1920 and 179,000-boxes in 1919 for the corresponding period. The total of 181,000 boxes reported available does not include cargoes coming through the part of Montreal, a cargo of 21,000 boxes now being at the decks there un-sold. The Canadian merchant marine is now bringing heavy supplies of foreign lemons through the port of Montreal, which has not been done for about 15 years. CARS DAMAGED IN COLLISION An accident occurred this afternoon at the intersection of Center and Claudina-sts, when a Maxwell driven by Miss Jessie Coons struck a car driven by Samuel Kraemer. The Kraemer car turned south on Claudina, and Miss Coons was going east on Center-st. Both cars were consuerably damaged. Fortunately no one was hurt. INJURY CAUSES ABCESS Ralph A. Harris of Hynes, Calif., was brot to the local sanitarium last night suffering from the result of an accident. He is said to have been shoveling, and hurt his nand, which developed an abcess. Other new patients at the sanitarium include: Mrs. William Greely, Anaheim; Mrs. George oeeman, Bur-bank. 15 OF CREW MISSING AS SCHOONER SINKS HALIFAX, N.S., June 24—The American schooner Puritan, which was to have been a contender for the international fisherman's trophy, sank off Sable island, according to word received here today.

Why should Anaheim's police be encased in tightly buttoned coats which weigh four or five pounds and feel like 24 or 25? Why should they be made to swelter for months, and their morale half spoiled, when for a few dollars each they can obtain suits that suit the temperature, their tempers and the tempera and also mores? Members of the force are asking this question, according to friends, who say perspiration standing still contains no inspiration at all. How about it? SNAG UPSETS BOAT IN BIG BEAR LAKE A. A.

The camp is expected to be opened not long after the Fourth. The site will be in the general vicinity of Barton Flats. Roland B. Dye, scout executive and assistant, E. V. Teaney, already are there, and others who will go soon are D. Eyman Huff, president of the county council; Willard Seth and Leon Whitsell of Orange; Fred Newcomb and Dr. M. A. Patton of Santa Ana; E.

DELIVER TILE FOR KRAEMER BUILDING The first load of enameled tile for the Arnold Kraemer-bldg on E. Center-st was unloaded today. The basement under the rear half of the building is completed and the concrete floor over it is nearly finished. The steel work is going up rapidly and masons will start work shortly. It is expected that this building will go up faster than the Samuel Kraemer-bldg across the street. Workmen will start work next week on the foundation for the city hall. OIL KING'S BROTHER SUCCUMBS TO COLD NORTH TARRYTOWN, N. Y., June 24—William Rockefeller, brother of John D., died of pneumonia here early today. He had been ill one week. Five physicians were in attendance when Rockefeller, one of the richest men in the world, expired at his home. Rockwood hall, only a stump in Big Bear Lake and cap-sized. The body was recovered soon after the tragedy and taken to San Bernardino, and from there removed to Orange this morning by Claude N. Ellis, funeral director. The remainder of the party will arrive this afternoon from Big Bear. The motorboat was about 40 feet from shore near the dam when the accident happened. For a few minutes the boat stuck on the stump. Mrs. Bennett and Mr. and Mrs. Pixley clung to the boat. The baby was not even wet. Rescuers from shore came in two boats almost at once. Bennett's body lay at the bottom of the lake for more than three hours. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were guests of the Pixleys at their cabin home for about a week. Mrs. Arthur Jacoby, daughter-in-law of Rev. H. C. Jaceby, of Anaheim, and little daughter were also their guests. Mr. Bennett was unable to swim and when the boat overturned, he apparently pushed away from it and went down. Mrs. Pixley is ill from water on the lungs, Mrs. Bennett is prostrated with grief and Pixley, who is an old man, is suffering from shock. Mr. Bennett was a prominent rancher of Orange... Prior to his residence there he occupied the chair of chemistry in Ames Agricultural college, Iowa, for many years. Mrs. Bennett is also well known, being state president of the P. E. O., and also a member of the grammar school board of directors of Orange. An inquest was held yesterday afternoon by Dr. Dickson, Riverside co-coroner. Funeral arrangements are not fully completed. Late in the afternoon it was learned that the coroner's jury declared the tragedy an unavoidable accident. DRILL FOR OIL AT FAITH, SOUTH DAK. It will be of interest to many Anaheimers who formerly resided in So.Dak. to know that the derrick has been erected for Weedman Well No.1 near Faith, S.

OIL KING'S BROTHER SUCCUMBS TO COLD NORTH TARRYTOWN, N. Y. June 24—William Rockefeller, brother of John D., died of pneumonia here early today. He had been ill one week. Five physicians were in attendance when Rockefeller, one of the richest men in the world, expired at his home. Rockwood hall, only a short distance from the estate of his brother at Pocantico hills. Many members of the Rockefeller family were at the bedside when the end came. Pneumonia that developed from a cold which the brother of the oil king contracted, during the rainy weather which has prevailed recently, caused his death. Hot Weather Brings Out Rattlesnakes The hot weather is certainly bringing out the rattlesnakes, say Anaheimers who have been up in the hills. I. O. Curtis, back today from Silverado mine, reports that last night while sitting on the screen porch of a bunkhouse at the mining camp, he was suddenly aroused by the blood-chilling rattle of a diamond back Looking up, he observed a good-sized rattler gliding slowly along the ledge, apparently loking for an opening thru which to enter. The campers were aroused and soon dispatched the snake with the more alacrity because recently a rattler was discovered inside a bunkhouse. Earlier in the week, one of the miners, in search of a burro, had to depart from a beaten path some distance. He kicked up several ratlers and says he heard the rattles of a hundred of them. RAPS ASS'T. SALOON LEAGUE WASHINGTON, June 23—Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, spent between $100,000,000 and $150,000,000 to obtain the passage of the prohibition amendment, Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts, Republican, declared, and attacked the Department of Justice for failing to prosecute the league under the corrupt practices act. DRILL FOR OIL AT FAITH, SOUTH DAK. It will be of interest to many Anaheimers who formerly resided in So. Dak. to know that the derrick has been erected for Weedman Well No. 1 near Faith, S. D., on the old Sioux reservation, about 140 miles west and south of Aberdeen and near the bad lands. I. O. Curtiss, of Anaheim has large holdings near the well, site for which was selected after noted geologists outlined an oil doma. An olly skum has been noticed on pools of water in the vicinity ever since the country was opened up. SUGAR UP 20 CTS PER 100 IN WEEK The improvement in grain prices is not reflected in the price of flour, which today is costing a dollar a barrel less than a year ago at this time, according to Kitchen's Market. The current price is $8.20 against $9.20 a year back. Cane sugar continues to stiffen, at $7.10 per hundred, up 20 cents last week and 70 over last year. Eggs are a cent a dozen cheaper at 29 cents than last week and nine cents cheaper than last year. Japanese rice is 90 c higher than a year ago, but fir mnow apparently. Evaporated milk at $4.60 is unchanged from last week, but 50 cents lower than a year ago. Butter at 44 cents is a cent lower than a week ago, but up five cents over last year.
