WHEN THIRU WITH YOUR PLAIN TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROW-DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM IN CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. VOL. XXV—NO. 299 TRY TO STOP COMMUNITY CENTER Capt. Henry Presents Petition Opposing Transfer of White Temple Alley Capt. Alex. Henry, 85-year-old participant in many an argument, who resides at the northwest corner of Philadelphia-st and Broadway, is on the war path again. He appeared before city council last night with two petitions, one objecting to the parking of autos before his house during services at the White Temple and another objecting to the action of council two weeks ago in voting to set over an alley 20 feet at the north of the White Temple to make room for a $50,000 community center building just north of the alley. Both petitions were referred to the council's public improvement committee passed of Stock, Mann and Gates. Councilman Stock, who objected two weeks ago to moving the alley on the ground that it was establishing a precedent, was the only trustee last night to voice support of Captain Henry's petition. Other councilmen apparently considered the idea of establishing a precedent groundless since there have been so many "jogs" in vital streets Bootlegger Trapped With Woman's Aid LOS ANGELES, July 28—How prohibition agents went after "big game" and lured a wily bootlegger into their toils, by means of a woman prisoner, who subsequently was released, was revealed today. The woman, when arrested, had a pint of whisky. "Why take me?" she said. "I'll help you get the man who sold it." She telephoned, saying, I want two minutes of your time," and named a street corner. "Minutes" in this bootlegger's jargon meant pints, it is said. When the liquor merchant appeared, he was literally "caught with the goods." As he was lodged into an automobile, he witnessed the prohibition agent's release of his former customer. BOARD O.K.S PARENTAL HOME City council last night unanimously adopted a resolution urging county supervisors to construct a parental home for delinquent children.

Both petitions were referred to the council's public improvement committee based on Stock, Mann and Gates. councilman Stock, who objected two weeks ago to moving the alley on the ground that it was establishing a precedent, was the only trustee last night to voice support of Captain Henry's petition. Other councilmen apparently considered the idea of establishing a precedent groundless since there have been so many "jogs" in vital streets permitted recently by council. The alley in question is little used and the most vitally concerned is the church which now owns property on both sides of the alley for the entire distance of the proposed change. In view of the humanitarian project contemplated in the big community center which will be used by thousands of citizens, especially children, the other four councilmen apparently viewed the objection as groundless. Councilman Mann stated: "I can see no objection to this. We vote for it two weeks ago. Let it stand." Following are the petitions: At your last regular meeting your honorable body granted certain interests the right to change the location of that certain 20-foot alley lying north of East Broadway and running between So. Philadelphia-st and No. Olive-st. Such a change will make a very objectionable jog in this alley and will result in having a main sewer line running under buildings which are to be constructed. The city is spending much effort money in the attempt to eliminate jogs already existing in streets and alleys and we feel that a very bad precedent will be established if your action is allowed to stand and therefore we, the undersigned property owners hereby voice our disapproval of such action and respectfully petition your honorable body to rescind the action taken in this matter at your last meeting. Alexander N. Henry, Catherine M. Henry, Emma Holeman, J. W. Diehl, W. F. Baker, Jacob Lakeman, T. W. Jackson, T. H. Hollingworth. I wish to call your attention to a condition which has existed at my residence for some time past and request your honorable body to afford me whatever relief you may see fit. My residence is located on the northwest corner of intersection of West Broadway and So. Philadelphia-st, opposite the White Temple Methodist church. During the hours that services are held at the church, a large number of automobiles are parked along the curb in front of and along side of my property to such an extent that it is impossible for a vehicle to approach the curb on the streets adjoining my residence. This practically cuts my property off from traffic and necessitates any vehicles dealing to stop at my house to park a long distance therefrom. I trust that you will by ordinance or proper legislation enact some resistance against parking in this man-made home last night unanimously adopted a resolution urging county supervisors to construct a parental home for delinquent children. The action was taken after presentation of the matter by R. R. Miller, county probation officer, who said the county board had instructed him to obtain such expression of opinion from various party of the county. Miller said the county was now breaking the state law by throwing together dependent and delinquent children at the juvenile home which was purchased for $3000 on Grand Ave. ten years ago after Santa Ana school board had condemned it for school purposes. "This is absolutely wrong," said Miller. "For instance, this evening I had to take two splendid children, abandoned thru no fault of their own, to the juvenile home, there to mingle with young criminals, for we have to hold such there from three days to three months. You can imagine what a marvelous education the innocent orphan picks up under such circumstances." "Orange-coach 291 wards Jan. I, and has handled 145 juvenile cases since then. We have five or six children before us each week for grand larceny. The county now has 47 of its children in state corrective institutions at a cost of $20 each per month. The expense from this source is now over $11,000 per year. After a careful study of their records, we believe only 17 to 19 of these children should be in state institutions, while the remainder of the 47 could be cared for in a parental home. Retained under such surroundings for three months to a year, they would come to themselves and could go out as good citizens." "We are so busy that we cannot bother with minor offences. We constantly receive complaints of boys stealing watermelons, making noise on front porches and like, but we ignore such because it takes all our time with real criminals, those who have committed every crime from grand larceny to murder—you remember we have two minors in San Quentin for life on murder charges." "We asked the county supervisors for a parental home, plot of ground where children could be given something to do and school equipment. Santa Ana school board offers to provide teachers if the building is afforded."

An argument over the question of who should clean the kitchen stove pre-cipitated a riot among prisoners in the city jail early today in which a cook was severely injured and whichever was stopped by a lone prison guard. The fight took place in the kitchen of the city jail shortly after dawn. It had its start when Elmer O Moon, 29, serving a 90-day sentence ordered Everett Ruhl, serving 50 days for intoxication, to clean the stove. Other prisoners were aroused by the fight and a number attempted to rush into the kitchen. They were held back at the point of a revolver by the jail guard. The greatest confusion ensued for a time and officers from other parts of the police headquarters hastened into the jail to aid in restoring order.

OBENCHAIN CASE TO JURY LATE TODAY LOS ANGELES, July 28.—A full court investigation of alleged misconduct on the part of certain jurors trying Madalyane C. Obenchain on the charge of murdering J. Belton Kennedy appeared a certainty today as rumors of attempted jury tampering emanated from both prosecution and defense camps. With the case scheduled to go to the jury late today at the conclusion of Deputy District Attorney Asa Keyes' closing argument for the state, the charges and counter charges began to fly thick and fast. The tension of the situation was brought to a breaking point when a woman who claimed to be a close friendship with the wife of a deputy district attorney, declared that one of the women jurors had passed word to the wife that vote of the jury now stood "11 to 1 for conviction." The information; so the woman declared, came from the juror through a mutual friend.

S. Mahon announced today. The three were given their preliminary hearing later yesterday by Justice J. B. Cox. The three are Daniel Lieva, Everett Nava and Josea Carabajal. The complaint against them was signed by Justice J. B. Cox. Saldanna's body, in spite of the injuries caused by the electric car, did not bleed, and this led the coroner's jury to conclude that the man may have been killed before the body was struck. RY. RIOTS SPREAD IN MIDDLE WEST CHICAGO, July 28—Renewed rioting flared out in a dozen shop centers 3 YOUTHS FIGURED IN EIGHT HOLDUPS The three youths who confessed in the San Diego superior court to having staged two holdups of Santa Anans and others near the Irvine ranch warehouse recently were guilty of eight different holdups in San Diego county alone, dispatches reaching Santa Ana today show. The three—Dennis McDaniels, Colin Crider and Richard R. Williams—had a fourth accomplice, Jeff Davis of Dinuba, who has been jailed at Visalia charged with a statutory offense.

Pope of the Santa Ana board. Tatum's talk roused the members to a high pitch of enthusiasm. He told of the progress of the state organization in various parts of California. New legislation was being framed, he said, and illegitimate and untrustworthy dealers were being eliminated. Tatum gave several instances of imposition by unscrupulous dealers, including one in which people were sold 13-1000 of a square foot of land for as high as $1750. The good ethics of a trustworthy dealer were ample protectoin to the unwary, he said.

Jackson today is hunting for the man, believed to be in Santa Ana, who took Alfred Frederick Parshall, 76, once well-to-do, out to the desert, robbed him and finally left him destitute in Yuma. Parshall, reported to be dying, was alive today at the Yuma hospital and possibly yet may live. He is well known in the school circles of Orange and Los Angeles counties. Jackson knows the name of the man who instigated and was ring leader in the plot to defraud Parshall. The man lived last in Santa Ana and took Parshall from there to the desert, where he tried to interest Parshall in purchasing a homestead. An accomplice joined him after the fellow had left with the old man. Parshall at first could tell nothing of his story, but later was revived at the hospital and told how he had been robbed of the last $300 remaining from an estate of $30,000 or $40,000 which he had possessed. Most of the estate had been taken from him, according to his story, by an adopted daughter and her husband, and litigation dragged for a long time thru, the Los Angeles courts in Parshall's attempt to regain his property. He had lived in Los Angeles for the past 15 years, but had been frequently in Orange county, according to Superintendent Lester. The new pump on the Anaheim fire truck, which has been installed at the Seagrave Co.'s shops in Los Angeles, was tried out yesterday before representatives of the fire insurance underwriters and declared very satisfactory.

Most of the estate had been taken from him, according to his story, by an adopted daughter and her husband, and litigation dragged for a long time thru the Los Angeles courts in Parshall's attempt to regain his property. He had lived in Los Angeles for the past 15 years, but had been frequently in Orange county, according to Superintendent J. A. Cranston of the Santa Ana school system, in the interest of a blackboard which he had invented, but no patented. The board was used in the Washington school at Santa Ana and in other schools elsewhere. He roomed at a rooming house on North Bush-st. The two men got control of Parshall after plying him with whiskey, according to Parshall's own story. Sheriff Polhamus and Sheriff Jackson got into touch with each other as soon as the facts of the case become known. According to Polhamus' information, the old man was taken to a spot near Picacho, Cal., some 25 miles from Yuma, where they took away not only his money, but all the water and food he had on hand. Relenting later, they brought him to a rooming house in Yuma, from which he was removed to the hospital. REQUESTS CHANGE IN NAME OF BROAD-ST Mrs. A. W. Wood in a letter read by city council last night urged the name of Broad-st be changed to avoid confusion with Broadway: She resides at Broadway and Palm-st and says whenever for rent ads are run by the Tierfolter-apts at Broad and Palm-sts, she is bothered by callers.

Mayor Wm. Stark, Councilman Godfrey Stock, Fire Chief Dean Hassen, Fire Truck Driver Fred Minyard and Ass't Manager Clyde Butler witnessed the demonstration. The contract calls for 500 gallons per minute. The truck was taken to Hollenbeck park where a suction hose was dropped into the lake and the nozzle lashed to a tree. With 120 pounds pressure at the jump and 93 at the 1%-inch nozzle, for two hours the pressure was held perfectly, delivering from 530 to 550 gallons per minute. Then the pressure at the pump was jumped to 200 pounds for 30 minutes and to 250 pounds for 30 minutes, three different nozzles being used, shut off and open. The pump came thru in fine shape. The truck will be down tomorrow. It will be entirely repainted when the truck is moved into the new fire station in the new city hall. In view of the successful demonstration before the underwriters' engineers, counselmen are in hopes there may be such a thing as reduction of insurance rates here.
