Robt. Shutz, 21, Lies Unconscious at Home on Burton-ace
Shutz, 21, lies unconscious at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Shutz, as the result of being thrown head first from his motorcycle when the front tire burst yesterday afternoon.
Young Shutz, who is employed at the Paige garage, was proceeding home from his work when the accident occurred in front of the D. W. Anderson home, near that of the Shutz family. Because of the rough roadway at that point, Young Shutz was unable to maintain control of the machine when the tire exploded.
He was picked up immediately by Mr. Anderson and Mr. Emil Kestenholz in an unconcious condition and removed to his home. It was planned at first to remove him to the Anaheim hospital for an X-ray examination for probable fracture of the skull but because of the seriousness of his condition this was considered too dangerous.
It was announced this afternoon that if he does not become lucid within a few hours, this will be done.

Trefry & Holmans Robbed of Clothing, Gloves and Tray of Rings
When Elmer Hein, clerk for Trefry & Holman's store at Olive, arrived for work at about 6:45 this morning, he found a section of the front plate glass window missing. Entering, he discovered merchandise and a tray of ruby rings gone, the entire loss amounting to approximately $500. The robbers apparently used a truck in carting away the loot.
Hein notified L. G. Holman, the active partner in the firm, and Holman got into communication with the Sheriff's office, Herman Zabel, fingerprint expert, came down, made an examination of the store and took imprints from the window. Aside from this evidence, there is no approach to a clue to the robbery.
The articles missing include men's clothing, shirts, trousers, ladies' shoes, leather gloves and the rings mentioned.
Several hundred dollars' worth of s'amps, etc., in the postoffice, which is in the store quarters, was undisturbed.
The last robbery of any consequence in Olive was of the Postoffice some three years ago when a small quantity of stamps and other supplies was taken.
Olive has no police of its own, Orange furnishing it protection.
The job gave every evidence of being a professional one.

NEW YORK, July 12—Brooklyn bridge, once the show place of New York, has dropped back to the position of second rater.

Manhattan bridge, Brooklyn's bridge's younger sister, was restricted by the same Probably Arraigned in Superior Court Friday, Says Dist. Atty. Nelson
Ascension Cisneros, slayer of Emiterio Escobedo and Camillo Moreno, will be arraigned in Superior Court probably on Friday. District Attorney A. P. Nelson said here today. The chief prosecuting officer, here in connection with another case, intimated that no time would be lost in starting the trial and rushing it thru to completion.
Nelson voiced his horror of the crime, which he said was the most brutal he had ever heard of. He indicated small sympathy with the self-confessed killer or with Cisneros talk about being bewitched by Escobedo and losing his job on that account. Cisneros declared as a motive that he had feared he would be out of work for some time.
"I can assure him he will be out of work for some time," said Nelson in substance, replying to the adjournment.
Cisneros' case has aroused much interest in professional quarters of one kind and another. Dr. J. W. Truxaw, who was called as a witness, said that Cisneros apparently was part Yaqui Indian and attributed his brutality to that fact. The physician raised the question whether Mexicans of Cisneros' type were properly examined before admission to the country. Such immigrants seemed to get into the country more easily in the Southwest than in New York, he declared.
Much sympathy has been voiced for Cisneros' family, consisting of a wife and seven children, many of them young. The latter of course were the chief sufferers from Cisneros' idleness as they will be for the penalty he will pay.
The Mexican colony is alive with excitement over the tragedy. Escobedo and the Moreno woman were said to be very unpopular in the colony, although their home was a model of cleanliness and well supplied with fairly good furniture and food supplies.

Available information today was to the effect that a settlement within a week is hoped for by both brotherhood officials and railroad executives.
Efforts to bring the big strike to an end were given impetus by reports from Washington that federal troops at strategic points were ordered to hold themselves in readiness for duty in carrying out President Harding's proclamation that movements of mail and interstate commerce must not be interrupted.
Existence of a "national emergency" was declared by the President, according to a White House official, paving the way for federal prosecutions and the use of troops, if necessary, to keep trains running.
Working under instructions from President Harding, Chairman Ben Hooper of the labor board continued conferences today with the shop crafts men and railroad representatives.
Statements forthcoming from those participating in the conferences, which were held secretly, were noncommittal and emphasized the declaration that a too optimistic attitude is unwarranted.
The fact that the conferences were held, however, gave rise to strong belief that the was being paved for an adjustment of the controversy.
CARS DAMAGED IN LOCAL COLLISIONS
Slight damages was suffered by a Ford delivery truck of the Anaheim Bottling Works and a car driven by Miss A. Chambers, whenthe two collided on Broadway at Helena-st. No body was hurt. Paul Pouplier, proprietor, was driving the truck. The brakes of the truck andthe right tender and wheel of the car were bent or scratched. Miss Chambers was driving west and turning south on Helena.
A new car was badly damaged at about 8:30 this morning on the boule vard near the Katella sub-station, when it collided with a wagon bearing a load of sand. Nobody was hurt. A young man was driving the car and an elderly lady, evidently his mother, was beside him. The car came up behind another car and ddn't see the wagon.

C. OF C. BOARD WILL MEET FRIDAY
The first meeting of new C. of C. Board will convene Friday night at its offices, 132 N. Los Angeles-st, and notices have been sent to Messrs Charles Eygabroad, George Dunton, Fred A. Backs, J. Frederick Alnorn, R. C. Berger, John Ruether and P. A. Yungbluth, the seven directors elected Monday, to take their places.

Those serving last year who resume their places as ordinary members are Vic La Mont, Joe Stroup, and Geo. M. Ross. Taking their places are John Ruether, F. A. Yungbluth and Fred A. Backs.
As soon as the full Board is seated nominations for president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer will be called for and these officers will be elected by ballot, as provided in the by-laws.
Some interesting data was run into figures this morning as to the referendum secured at the last election, in connection with the work done during the year just close. The Orange Show came in for the heaviest vote of appreciation, taking the lead ever the work done for permanent flood control, by three votes. The stoppage of the flood waters last January came third. The saving effected by the Chamber through the probe on inferior school building materials last fall brought a large number of commendatory votes, and approval of the Board support of the several bond issues came in for hearty applause.
A full report of this referendum will be read at Friday meeting, and efforts will be made to center the work of the next year along the lines of suggestions thus made by the membership.

Paul Clausen, who came to Anaheim in March, 1921, and who has been intimately connected with the upbuilding of the Anaheim district ever since, leaves this favored region for Australia in a few days, going from Vancouver on the Canadian Pacific liner "Niagara," sailing the 21st.
During the building of the first California Valencia Orange Show, Clausen cut a very large figure. He had full charge of the funds, in cooperation with V. D. Loly and Fred. A. Back; and carried out this phase of the work admirably. Besides, he was largely responsible for the gathering of the Industrial Department. This year he broadened his activities, working day and night for small remuneration, because he felt that his contribution was doing some good. In the 1921 re-organization of the Chamber, Clausen, with Mr. Loly, added 32 to the membership and in the recent campaign, his team brought in twice as many members as any other two. Many times, Clausen pitched in and did community work.
Anaheim generally loses by this regrettable departure, and the many friends of this popular young man will hope for his return within a year. He already has several business connections, from California industries with which to combine business and pleasure in the Commonwealth. Friends are giving dumboons and dinners during the last few days of his stay here.
