Dr. Sanborn, with James M. Rhoades of Glendale and Sol Deeble of Long Beach, voted for her acquittal at the recent trial. With M. E. Paddock, foreman of the Madalynne C. Obenchain jury, scheduled for an important conference, the district attorney today with an exhaustive investigation unchained by attorneys for Mrs. Obenchain, charges and counter-charges of misconduct on the part of certain of the jurors who failed to agree on Mrs. Obenchain's fate, appeared one step nearer an official probe today. Upon the outcome of the district attorney's conference with Paddock, whom some of the jurors demanded be discharged as foreman, will depend whether a request for official action will be made. From reliable sources it was learned that Paddock is prepared to lay before the authorities grays charges of misconduct on the part of certain jurors. With a hearing on Mrs. Obenchain's application for bail to come up before Judge John W. Shenk tomorrow morning, it was considered likely that if the necessary affidavits can be prepared they will be offered to the court at that time and an official investigation requested.

Mitchell Another jump of approximately 20 per cent in total attendance of the schools of the county, kindergarten, elementary, grammar and high, was predicted today by Superintendent R. P. Mitchell, who added that the attendance in the Anaheim schools would be one of the most satisfactory of any of the cities. During the past year the attendance in local schools jumped from 960 to 1135 in the elementary and from 385 to 458 in the high school. Superintendent Mitchell said that the forthcoming high school attendance could not be forecast, because of many young people who entered after receiving their preparation in other elementary schools. During 1921-22, according to Superintendent Mitchell's report, just forwarded to State Superintendent of Schools Will Wood, attendance in schools of the county increased by 2355 and school costs mounted $270,151.81. Practically every school district in the county showed an increase. The increased costs came in the way of a larger number of teachers employed. There were 97 additional teachers. Building construction and other items served to swell the total educational costs. It was disclosed that in the 12 kindergarten schools in the county 30 teachers were employed last year, as against 27 for 1920-21. The kindergarten enrollment for last year was 1193, as against 954 in the previous year. Indicating a decrease in the average salary paid kindergarten teachers in 1922 as compared with 1921, the report revealed that the total salary for 30 teachers last year was $27,375, while in the previous year the total was $33,594.90 for 27 instructors. Fifty-six more teachers were employed in the elementary schools last year than during the other year used in comparison. The increase in the enrollment was 1649 pupils. Last year boys numbered 6915 and girls 6577, reversing the usual record of boys exceeding girls in point of numbers and the same history holds good for the previous year, when 6081 boys and 5688 girls were enrolled.

Meanwhile a large advertising fund will be set aside by Plans were discussed today at the regular meeting of the Anaheim Realty Board to bring 500 realtors from all parts of California to Orange-co. in December, in connection with the annual State convention. It was agreed that entertainment of the visitors would be the biggest advertisement the county could receive. Several realtors from Santa Ana, and two from Fullerton were present at the meeting, and there was complete unanimity in the project for the bringing of the realtors here. It is stated that it will be the first time in history that the state convention has been obtained outside of the big cities, save once at Riverside, and that the Riverside convention had an attendance of only 80. Freeman H. Bloodgood of Santa Ana, presided at the meeting, and following the luncheon which was held in the Elks' clubhouse, each man introduced his neighbor to the right to the assembly. Several fines were imposed on those who broke the rules of etiquette. A monthly business meeting by the various really boards of Orange-co. was suggested by Mr. Bloodgood for the purpose of discussing the legal phase of the real estate business, and the suggestion met with favor. It was decided to make it a noon luncheon, and it is to be held in Anaheim the first Thursday in next month, and the first Friday in the succeeding month at Santa Ana. It was suggested that the legal phases of the business be discussed today by Judge Howard of Anaheim, and a motion to this effect was passed. The judge excused himself, and the discussion of this matter was passed over. A talk on this subject was made by Jack Wallace, secretary of the Santa Ana reality board, who is also chairman of the Orange-co. realtors general committee for preparing for, and looking after the convention. Mr. Wallace announced that he was in need of good live men from each of the really boards of the county to assist in this work, but that if anyone should get on the committee who did not act, he will be fired, armed quickly. The committee must be a live one if the convention is to be a success. He stated that it is planned to have every community in the county represented, and the second day of the convention it is planned to take the visiting realtors on a tour of the county, stopping in Anaheim for noonday lunch. E. A. Hargrove is to be assistant secretary with Mr. Wallace, and there are to be committee to look after every phase of the work Judge Howard of Anaheim, and R. S. Gregory of Fulleton assured Mr. Wallace of whole-hearted assistance from the Anaheim and Fullerton boards. It is also planned to line up Orange in full force. Each board is to supply a list of its membership, and it is hoped to have each board represented on each committee. Other Santa Anans who were present and Paul Bock, secretary-treasurer of the Oil Tool Service Manufacturing Co., and member of Nenno & Bock, automobile accessories, in a man of long and successful business experience. Before coming to California he was assistant to county clerk and county treasurer with headquarters at Wichita, Kansas. After several months in this fine position he left to organize in June, 1917, the Schulte State Bank at Schulte, about 10 miles from Wichita. He was cashier of that bank for better than two years and, starting with a capital of $10,000, he built it up to deposits over $88,000. During his incumbency he received letters from the State Bank Commissioner, complimenting him on the condition* of the institution. One small note was charged off during his connection with the bank. There were 26 rival banks within 12 miles of his bank. The town of Schulte contained a general merchandise store, branch lumber yard and grain elevator, run by a large milling company. The farmers were not satisfied with prices which the latter concern were paying, being from two to nine cents below the market, so they invited Mr. Bock to assume the direction* of a Farmers' Co-operative Grain and Supply Co., which he organized. About 30 farmers composed the original subscribers. The new elevator had a capacity of 16,000 bushels and was completed in February, 1918. For the year ending Dec. 31, 1918, did a business of $225,000, paying stockholders 10 per cent on their stock, with a patronage dividend of $1.00 per hundred they transacted with the company. In January, 1919, this company bought the lumber and coal business. The following March the capital stock was increased by $15,000, taken up by 131 stockholders, all farmers of the district. The company then was reorganized and a second 8,000 bushel elevator was constructed about six miles from Schulte on another railway, thus serving a large territory. The manager resigned at the completion of this harvesting year and it fell to Mr. Bock to market the crop and make all settlements until another manager could be obtained. The financing of the company was left to Mr. Bock without bond. He left the company on Aug. 20, 1919, giving up his connection also with the bank, on account of impairment. Vorita Included Preparations to establish a new exchange brand, to be known as Red Ball brand, were launched at the regular weekly meeting of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange late yesterday in Los Angeles. The brand will consist of fruit of lower grade than the Sunkist, but known as certified choice. The brand name will not take effect until the opening of next season. Meanwhile a large advertising fund will be set aside by the directors to give the new brand publicity. Just what shall constitute oranges of the Red Ball brand now is being worked out. The brand of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, which will be put under the Red Ball classification, is the Carnival. The Anaheim Orange & Lemon Association brand to be included in the Favorita, which stands second only to the Delicias and Dorias Sunkist. Anaheim Glorianas is not a Sunkist brand. The Red Ball brand name was used years ago, but dropped. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association began packing again this morning at the local house, after an intermission of nearly a week. The Anaheim Orange & Lemon Association will resume tomorrow. The Anaheim Cooperative Orange Association has been shipping all week. So has the Randolph Marketing Company. The latter, however, will cut down on shipments next week. Manager Robert Strain announced today. WOMAN FOILS JEWEL ROBBERY LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3.— Suddenly awakened to find a strange man in her room at the Van Nuys hotel early today, Mrs. H. Love, a prominent Santa Barbara society woman, prevented one of most daring jewel thefts ever attempted in Los Angeles. The intruder, according to Mrs. Love, entered her room shortly after 7 o'clock this morning by using a pass key. She did not awaken until he was about to leave the room. She said all of her jewelry, valued at $10,000, and her purse containing a small amount of money had been scooped up by the robber as he prepared to leave the room. Just as the intruder took hold of the door knob to make his exit, Mrs. Love raised up in bed and screamed. The robber apparently fearing that he would be captured, tossed the jewels onto the dresser, threw the purse on the floor and hastily made his exit. Mrs. Love rushed to the telephone and notified the management of the hostelry, while, in the meantime, guests who had heard her cries take the visiting realtors on a tour of the county, stopping in Anaheim for noonday lunch. E. A. Hargrove is to be assistant secretary with Mr. Wallace, and there are to be committees to look after every phase of the work Judge Howard of Anaheim, and R. S. Gregory of Fullerton assured Mr. Wallace of whole-hearted assistance from the Anaheim and Fullerton boards. It is also planned to line up Orange in full force. Each board is to supply a list of its membership, and it is hoped to have each board represented on each committee. Other Santa Anans who were present and standing "tooth and toe-nail" behind the project included; Frank C. Pope, Joe Smith, Everett White, and other Mr. Wallace stated that the convention would be run on time, and that there would be speakers at each stop in the county to entertain and educate the realtors. It was planned to obtain an appropriation from the county board of supervisors to help defray the expenses of the convention. It was suggested that the luncheon tendered the realtors at Anaheim be such that the products of the county be represented. Mr. Bloodgood said in discussing this phase of the matter that the fruits which are so highly prized elsewhere are so common here (that we forget them), and that it would be a good idea to have all kinds of Orange-co, fruits at the luncheon in order that the visiting realtors may really know what is grown here, and that realty prices here are not inflated. MR. JOSEPH KEE DIES EARLY THIS MORNING Joseph Kee, of Dale-aye, west of Anaheim, died at 3:30 this morning after an illness of short duration. He was born March 10, 1850. Funeral services will be held from the Backs, Terry & Campell chapel Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, Rev. J. A. Stevenson, of Santa Ana, officiating, Burial will be in Loma Vista.

ON TRIAL FOR FORGING RANCH DEED Accused of forging a deed to a ranch at Fairview, Samuel Hansen, former San Diego real estate dealer, is on trial this afternoon before Justice J. B. Cox at Santa Ana. The arrest of Hansen, which was effected recently after he had been pursued from San Diego to Denver and back again by A. K. Cravath, officer of Santa Ana, brings to a head one of the most involved cases in criminal annals in So Cal. Hansen was under bail of $5,000 which he broke. The ranch was owned by John Kinmouth of Joplin, Mo., and two other purchasers claimed it, including John Otto, who occupied a house upon it. Kinmouth failed to receive his tax bills and became suspicious. Just as the intruder took hold of the door knob to make his exit, Mrs. Love raised up in bed and screamed. The robber, apparently fearing that he would be captured, tossed the jewels onto the dresser, threw the purse on the floor and hastily made his exit. Mrs. Love rushed to the telephone and notified the management of the hostelry, while, in the meantime, guests who had heard her cries began pouring out of their rooms. SUSPENDS SENTENCE FOR HERB WOMAN Mrs. Maria Rosa of Fullerton, was brought before Judge French this morning to answer to a charge of practicing a mode of healing without a license, in treatment with Indian herbs. She pleaded guilty, stating that she didn't know it was against the law to sell herbs. She will be given a preliminary hearing in the superior court tomorrow. Judge French will levy a suspended sentence or let her out on probation.

NORWALK INVADED BY DRY AGENTS LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3—Disguised as stockmen, prohibition agents, led by Prohibition Agent Dolley, visited the cattle and hog ranch of James Smith and Frank Adslead, near Norwalk, ostensibly to purchase cattle. They bought no four-footed animals, but instead purchased "Mirouri mule" liquor, it was said, and confiscated more. The two ranchmen were arrested on bootlegging charges. According to Dooley, he had received a number of complaints relative to their alleged bootlegging activities. It was said the liquor was not manufactured on the ranch, but was brought to that distribution center. Wishing to make a day of it, the prohibition agents went on into Norwalk after the arrest of the two men and raided a pool hall and cafe operated by M. R. Wallace. The raid followed purchases of liquor from Walace, it was said. A small amount of liquor was seized, according to Dolley. DEATH CASE FRIEND HUNTED LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3—While the widow of Raymond L.
