WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. VOL. XXV—NO. 310 KLAN RAID ACCEPTANCE DEPENDS ON BOND Council Against Big Mills Tract Otherwise; Keller-man Tract Up No change in the attitude of the City Council toward the matter of extending the public garage zone so as to include the east side of North Clementine street all the way from Center to Cypress is anticipated at the council meeting tomorrow evenly. A petition signed by nine per cent was presented at the last coun-cmeeting on July 27. The committee on public improvements has the matter in charge. ANAHEIM ORANGES AGAIN TOP MARKET IN NEW YORK The topping of the New York orange market; by Anaheim Glori-anas, the premier brand of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n, is ceasing to be news. Yesterday, for the fourth or fifth time within about a week, this brand set the price pace in New York at $10.95. As usual, the large sizes were responsible. Delicias brought $9.45, Dorias $9.45, California Belles brought $10.00, Altissimos $10.55, Shamrocks $8.25. The three latter also are Orange-co brands. “SIR TOM” IS WINNER AGAIN No change in the attitude of the City Council toward the matter of extending the public garage zone so as to include the east side of North Clementine street all the way from Center to Cypress is anticipated at the council meeting tomorrow evening. A petition signed by nine per cent was presented at the last council meeting on July 27. The committee on public improvements has the matter in charge. Another new sub-division may be accepted by the council, the Keller-man tract on West Broadway, the map of which will be presented for the first time. No hitch in acceptance of the tract appears likely at this time. The A. A. Mills sub-division on North Los Angeles street between North and La Palma streets, comprising approximately 20 acres or around 100 lots, is in a different position. Unless Mills is willing to file a bond n connection with the laying of dewalks, for which he already had petitioned, the council is not disposed to accept the tract. The tract is part of the North and East addition annexed by vote last April. The matter was referred to the committee on public improvements. With the purchase of a quantity of plants for the municipal park, reported by Councilman Howard Gates, development and improvement of the park is expected to proceed faster. City Manager O. E. Steward, who was scheduled to be back tomorrow in time to attend the meeting, has been delayed and will not be present. The City Manager stopped off at Pete City, Idaho, to visit a brother, who has not been heard from since. He is on his way back from St. Louis where he and City Engineer Knox of Santa Ana, inspected the Ferguson plan of sewer construction, preparatory to the laying of the new outfall sewer for the two cities.

( AIN DEAL READING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Wednesday, August 9, 1922 BOND VOTE IN FULLERTON SEPT. 25 Issue to Bear Six Per Cent; Term 40 Years; Total $275,000 The big city bond election to be held in Fullerton to decide improvements amounting to $275,000 was set for September 25 in ordinances which passed their first reading at the regular meeting of the Fullerton board of trustees last night. Pollling places were fixed at the city hall and the biology building of the high school. Arrangements were made for judges, clerks and inspectors, but these were not named in the ordinance, the names being left blank. DR. PUTMAN OIL MAN OF WIDE EXPERIENCE Dr. M.N. Putnam, vice president of OIL BROKER OF SANTA FE SPA HELD E. A. Lamb Caught by Telephone Trick of Girl in San Diego LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.—A telephonic ruse worked by a pretty young girl investigator for the state corporation commission, played an important part in the arrest of E. A. Lamb, prominent oil broker of Santa Fe Springs, who was taken into custody by officers in San Diego, it was revealed today. How the clever girl investigator "kidded" Lamb over a long distance phone from this city while detectives in San Diego were notified over another phone to go down to a room The big city bond election to be held in Fullerton to decide improvements amounting to $275,000 was set for September 25 in ordinances which passed their first reading at the regular meeting of the Fullerton board of trustees last night. Polling places were fixed at the city hall and the biology building of the high school. Arrangements were made for judges, clerks and inspectors, but these were not named in the ordinance, the names being left blank. The improvements are to include $160,000 for paving, $90,000 for a library, and $25,000 for a municipal swimming pool. The paving is to include portions of West Commonwealth avenue, Whittier-rd, Brea-rd, and E. Chapman-ave, and intersections where the citizens have formed improvement districts for the purpose of paving the streets. The pavement is to be four inches on West Commonwealth ave., and three inches on the other streets. All the bonds are to bear 6 per cent interest, payable in 40 annual payments. The library plans are very elaborate, providing for a big reception room and all the appliances for an up-to-date library of a city much larger than Fullerton. The present library would be an addition. The swimming pool plans are for a more up-to-the-minute swimming pool in Hillcrest park as a memorial to the boys who served over seas. In speaking of the matter, citizens of Fullerton express themselves that the bond election for the paving is most likely to pass, but doubt is expressed regarding the other two projects. Some of the Fullerton people think that the 'city dads' have "gone bugs" on spending money, and dread to see the day when the bills begin to come in. The opposition think that Hillcrest park is too far away for the Fullertonite to enjoy the swim, unless they have automobiles and others think that $90,000 is too much to spend for a library. They insisted that $15,000 or $20,000 used judiciously for an extension to the present library for storing books would be sufficient. The library room as it is now is never crowded, most of the readers being persons who take them home. "BIG FOUR” DEMANDS REMOVE OF SOLDIERS WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Despite the ticklish situation which has developed at Joliet, Ill., definite assurance was given by the railroad union heads here today that there will be no general railroad strike. President Harding will go before congress next week and deliver a message embodying a plan for government seizure and operation of rail roads and coal mines if the existing strikes are not settled before that time, it became known here today. DR. PUTMAN OIL MAN OF WIDE EXPERIENCE Dr. M. N. Putnam, vice president of the Oil Tool Service Manufacturing Co., is a dental surgeon, graduated in 1897. He practiced for 10 years after which he engaged in the land immigration, building and contracting business; also in the oil business, leasing developing production and refining in the mid-continent fields. He went to Panama and South America, 1915-16-17 for San Francisco-Salt Lake interests, cruising land for timber, oil and minerals. He came to California in March, 1917, in the government service. He moved to Anaheim in December 1919, purchased a ranch of 20 acres to improve, and associated himself with Mr. B. D. McAlvay in October 1921, in the Oil Tool Service Manufacturing Co., building McAlvoy's circulating head. The company has now out-grown its present plant and is building a new plant here. BREA DON QUIXOTE GIVEN SHORT SHRIFT Pete Franco, of Brea, 18 years old, had romantic dreams of the wild and wooly west, and, no doubt, wished that he had lived in the days of the '49ers. But since that privilege was denied him by the accident of birth, he resolved within himself that he would bring back the days of '49—at least the romance of them. So what did he do but borrow his neighbor's horse, and don him out in wild-west regalia, buckle his trusty gun about him, load it with empty shells, and start out like Don Quixote in search of romance. And one of the ideas was to kidnap the prettiest girl he could find, and carry her away with him. But the girl, who had been forewarned, "spilled the beans" by telling E. R. Rudy, city marshal. So when Pete arrived, swelling like a wild west two-gun man, the marshal came from his ambush, and Pete found himself looking down the wrong end of a double-barrel shotgun. And immediately all the romance began to ooze out at his finger tips and he decided right then and there he had had all the wild and wooly west that was coming to him. The marshall took him into custody, but it is probable that no action will be taken against him, since boiled down, it was nothing but a butt of a toy pistol while he LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.—A telephonic ruse worked by a pretty young girl investigator for the state corporation commission, played an important part in the arrest of E. A. Lamb, prominent oil broker of Santa Fe Springs, who was taken into custody by officers in San Diego, it was revealed today. How the clever girl investigator "kidded" Lamb over a long distance phone from this city while detectives in San Diego were notified over another phone to go down to another phone where the broker is said to have been hiding and make his arrest, was told here when Detectives Lucas and Cickok returned with the prisoner. Lamb is charged with violation of the corporate securities act in a warrant issued by Deputy District Attorney Frank Stafford on information turned over to him by Corporation Commissioner E. M. Daugherty. Two of Lamb's assistants, both of whom are charged with similar violations, and who are alleged to have taken part in the asserted wholesale swindling of innocent speculators on a lease held by the concern at Santa Fe Springs, are now in the city jail awaiting arraignment on felony complaints. Following the arrest of the two assistants, detectives were unsuccessful in their search for Lamb, and it was then the scheme was contrived by which pretty Gwendolyn Dills, investigator for the corporation department, was selected to endeavor to locate the broker. Her first call at the office of the broker met with a negative response, but posing as an acquaintance, she was finally given his address in San Diego. While Lamb and the girl engaged in a friendly conversation over one wire, detectives hastened to another phone and called San Diego officers, who were given the address in that city where the broker could be found. Lamb hung up the receiver when detectives walked into his room and it was then he learned that he was victim of an old police trick. The arrest of Lamb climaxes an investigation of oil promotion schenches at Santa Fe Springs which have been under investigation by Corporation Commissioner Daugherty for several weeks. YOUNGEST BANDIT USES CAP PISTOL LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9.—Alleged to be one of the youngest "boy bandits" in the history of the juvenile escapes in this city, 8-year-old George Warboy of 2402 West Jefferson street today was captured by the police and placed in the custody of his mother. Facing the officers, his hand on the butt of a toy pistol while he WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Despite the ticklish situation which has developed at Joliet, Ill., definite assurance was given by the railroad union heads here today that there will be no general railroad strike.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—Suddenly developed complications were on the verge today of hurling the "Big Four" brotherhoods into the vortex of the railroad shopmen's strike. "Take away the soldiers or we won't move a wheel," was the ultimatum of nearly 1300 "Big Four" brotherhood railroad men at Joliet, today. SHOPPERETTE SEEN ON STREETS TODAY O. H. Peed, 116 Vine-st, was attracting considerable attention this morning with his latest invention, the "Shopperette," as he went about the streets using the convenient receptacle. Mounted on three wheels, the shopprette contains two large covered metal compartments for groceries or other packages. It is pushed along similar to a baby cab, and has an adjustable umbrella hoder at a convenient pace, attached to which is a rotary fan, operated by pulleys and cord connected with the front wheel. A hook for the hand bag, with a handle for lifting the shopprette, and hook to hold the handle in place when not in use, complete the handy attachments. Mr. Peed shops in comfort now and has no arms or full bundles to annoy himself or others in crowded stores or cars. The Shopperette is one of several inventions Mr. Peed has made during his spare time. MAY USE CONVICTS IN IND. COAL FIELDS INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 9.—Civet labor will be rushed into southern Indiana coal fields to dig under martial law if all other plans for breaking the fuel field, Governor McCray intimate day. So when Pete arrived, swelling like a wild west two-gun man, the marshal came from his ambush, and Pete found himself looking down the wrong end of a double-barrel shotgun. And immediately all the romance began to ooze out at his finger tips, and he decided right then and there he had had all the wild and wooly west that was coming to him. The marshall took him into custody, but it is probable that no action will be taken against him, since boiled down, it was nothing but a boyish prank, inspired by the romantic dreams of youth. KANSAN, 117, IS THE FATHER OF TWENTY LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Aug. 9.—Living in this city are two negroes both of whom contend they are the oldest of their sex and race in the state. Henry Harris, now past his 117th birthday, voiced his claim on the part of the man, while Rens Chapman vehemently declared she wanted the public to know she war the women's representative for any age honors to be distributed in the state. She is 107 years old. Harris also feels that he can qualify as a champion in other things. He boastfully told of being the father of 28 children. 2 WIDOWS FOR EVERY SEATTLE WIDOWER WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Seattle has 12,231 widows, 5157 widowers, 3150 divorced women and 2633 divorced men.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9. — The "night of terror" in Inglewood which ended in the killing of Constable M. B. Mosher and the wounding of two others in a revolver battle was graphically described at the trial of 37 men in Superior Judge Houseris court today by the first witnesses for the prosecution in the Ku Klux Klan trial. Fidel Elduayen, whose home in Inglewood was raided by the klausmen was called to the stand after county surveyors introduced maps and diagrams of the Elduayen place and the scene of the shooting. Mary and Bernarda Elduayan, 15 and 12 years of age respectively, were in the courtroom to be called as witnesses after their father left the stand. The girls were ready to testify that several of the raiders entered their bedroom and that they were compelled to get out of bed and dress while the masked men who were in the house watched them. The two others of the Elduayen family, Mattias, Fidel's brother, and Mrs. Fidel Elduayen were also ready to testify, but it was not expected that they would reach the stand. Frank Woerner, the Inglewood peace officer who routed the mob and who will be the prosecution's star witness, will not be called until the stories of the Elduayens have been heard it was announced. Deputy District Attorney Raymond I. Turney, who is conducting the prosecution of the klan case with Deputy District Attorney Asa Keyes, outlined the state's evidence in a brief statement to the jury, composed of eight men and four women, before the opening witnesses were called.

Fidel Elduayen, examined by Keyes, testified that the raiders broke into his home and dragged him from his bed. He said that he was handcuffed and bound with ropes before he was placed in an automobile and taken to Redondo Beach, where he testified, his captors endeavored to have him put in jail on a bootlegging charge. 16 REVOLUTIONISTS SENTENCED TO DEATH MOSCOW, Aug. 9.—Sixteen social revolutionaries, charged with conspiring against the soviet government and the lives of soviet officials, were sentenced to death today.
