FEDERAL PROBE FACES TIEUP MEN LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14.—Launching an investigation which railroad executives hope will force a snow-down" and end the railroad tie-up which has almost completely paralyzed California transportation, United States Attorney Joe Burke today went into conference with department of justice agents to sift charges against "Big Four" leaders of conspiracy to interfere with interstate commerce and the movement of mail. While additional agents were rushed to Needles, Cal., to investigate the marooning of aundreds of overland passengers on the desert, the probe progressed towards a climax so rapidly that officials hourly expected the launching of a federal grand jury investigation. Although the work of department of justice agents was cloaked in strict secrecy, it was reported that evidence already assembled is of such a nature that union chiefs may be called before he jury before night-fall. Much of the evidence, it was said, was secured from passengers who were stalled on the scorching desert for three days when train crews uit their posts. The methodical manner in which these trains were tied up led to the charge by a Santa Fe official that the trainmen plotted to cripple transportation. ANAHEIM MAN HURT AT SANTA FE SPGS J. A.

McColley Relieved of $185 in Cash and $130 in Checks J. A. McColley, Santa Ana representative of the Dominuez Oil Co., was held up and robbed of $185 in cash and $130 in checks by two bandits who hailed him near Paularino when he was returning from Newport between 12 and 1 last night. He had spent the evening at the beach and was returning alone in his Cadillac. Two men waved for him to step. Thinking they had missed the last stage or were in trouble he flowed down. The taller of the two bandits jumped on the NEW ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH New Lutheran Church Packed at Dedication J. A. McColley, Santa Ana representative of the Dominuez Oil Co., was held up and robbed of $185 in cash and $150 in checks by two bandits who hailed him near Paularino when he was returning from Newport between 12 and 1 last night. He had spent the evening at the beach and was returning alone in his Cadillac. Two men waved for him to stop. Thinking they had missed the last stage or were in trouble he flowed down. The tailor of the two bandits jumped on the running board and putting a revolver against McColley's neck, ordered him to throw up his hands. The shorter bandit jumped on the other side and backed up his partner's demands. Asked where he carried his purse, McColley indicated an inside pocket. This was removed. Then the smaller bandit asked his associate why he didn't take McColley's watch. The taller bandit said he didn't want any watches, but he looked longingly at McColleys ring, passing it up, too nally. Both bandits wore white handkerchiefs below their eyes. The taller bandit was five feet eight or ten inches, weighed 160 to 165, was smooth shaven, wore dark suit and light cap. The shorter bandit weighed 145, was smooth shaven, and wore khaki. After the holdup, they ordered aim to drive on. McColley says he believes the bandits knew he carried considerable money as he returned to Santa Ana after banking hours Saturday after conducting an excursion of oil stock buyers to Torrance. "Never again will I stop for anyone along the road," says McColley. "I'll run over them first." He stopped payment on the checks today.

BABY DROWNS IN WASHTUB CHESTER, Aug. 14. — Slipping from the arms of his 6-year-old sister, 13-months-old Peter Battone fell in a washub and was drowned.

New Lutheran Church Packed at Dedication Almost 2,400 people from all parts of So. Cal. attended the three services held yesterday at the dedication of the new Zion Evangelical Lutheran church at the corner of Emily and East Chartres-sts., between 700 and 800 being in attendance at each of the three services. Lutherans were present from as far away as San Luis Obispo and Escondido. The new building is regarded with pride by local Lutherans, and many local citizens who are not Lutherans think the new building, which is a $40,000 structure, beautifully finished within, to be an asset to which Anaheim might well point with pride. The work of erection was done by A. Pibel, local contractor. The local pastor, Rev. H. G. Schmeltzer, directed the dedicatory services, which began at 10 o'clock. The pulpit was filled at the morning services by Rev. E. J. Rudnick, of Banning, who preached from Exodus 20:24: "In all places where I record My name I will come unto three, and I will bless thee." The speaker said: "Inasmuch as in this church the name of God will be proclaimed as revealed in the inspired Word—this church would be a true house of God, a dwelling place of the Most High, in which God would bless those who come to worship here with all spiritual blessings procured by Christ's work of redemption, and offered to mankind by means of the gospel, and the sacraments. "The these facts," he said, "are the true grounds for your rejoicing on this occasion, and not merely because of this beautiful edifice." In the afternoon, Rev. A. E. Michel of the Trinity Lutheran church of Los Angeles and vice president of the California-Nevada division of the Lutheran Missouri Synod, filled the pulpit, taking as his text: Matthew 16:13-19, and as his theme: "The glory of the Christian Church." He dwelt principally on the words of Christ: "Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I build my church, and the gates of hell cannot prevail against it." "First," he said, "the church is built upon a rock, Christ; second, it is so strong that even the gates of hell shall not prevail against it; and third, it possesses great wealth, the keys of the Kingdom of heaven." These two services were in German. The evening service was in English, Rev. George Witte of the Bethany Lutheran church of Hollywood preaching. He took his text from H Samuel. THREE ARRAIGNED ON LIQUOR CHARGE Walter Luther K., Luther and William Allred of Los Alamitos were arrested by Sheriff Jackson's forces and haled before Judge Howard this morning on the charge of making whiskey. They pleaded not guilty, and asked time to consult an attorney. Hearing was set for Aug. 30. They are in jail in default of bond. F. W. Freeman, also of Los Alamitos, was arraigned before Judge Howard on the charge of having been found with booze in his pocket. He pleaded guilty and was fined $180. 7:11, "The Lord tellethe tree that He will make tree an house. The speaker said that it was God who built the church; that tho the congregation planned and furnished means and spared no effort to make the building possible, that God put it into their hearts to do this. He spoke of what it cost God to make it possible for true houses of worship to exist, the sacrifice of His only begotten son. The choir was directed by G. H. Grefe, and appropriate selections were rendered in all the services. At the evening service Miss Vida Jensen sang "The Holy City." Other pastors who were visitors at the services included: Rev. W. A. Theiss of Olive, Rev. N. F. Jensen of Orange, Rev. William Schmoock of Santa Ana, Rev Ernest Miller of San Luis Obispo, and Rev. A. M. Wyneken of Long Beach. There were a number of floral decorations. No campaign for funds was put on, but $800 was collected during the day in voluntary offerings. The building has been about two thirds paid for.

A. Mills, wellknown rancher who resides about midway between the two cities. The improvements planned include: 1. Widening the paving into a street 50 feet wide. 2. Installation of curbs. 3. Electric street lights. These improvements, in effect, will consummate what has long been discussed—the junction of Anaheim and Fullerton into virtually one city; in a short time it is confidently believed that it will be impossible to determine where one city ends and the other begins. Petitions are now being circulated among property owners along the state highway between the sister cities. Uniformly ready response is being given FIRE PUMP REDUCES RATES 3. Electric street lights. These improvements, in effect, will consummate what has long been discussed—the junction of Anaheim and Fullerton into virtually one city; in a short time it is confidently believed that it will be impossible to determine where one city ends and the other begins. Petitions are now being circulated among property owners along the state highway between the sister cities. Uniformly ready response is being given the proposal. "Within a very few days, we will know just where we are on the proposition," said Mr. Mills today. "I think there will be little difficulty in putting over the wider paving and curbing plans," continued Mr. Mills. "We do not know just yet whether to attempt the street lights and sidewalks at this time." The paving is now 24 feet wide, including three-foot shoulders. We plan to install heavy paving for the entire width of 50 feet. With such improvements, leading businessmen of the two cities agree that the finest residence street in the county will result with property restrictions, facing as it does the main traveled highway of the southland. Recently some beautiful ranch homes have been erected facing the street. One rancher refused $7000 for an acre-homes facing the highway last week. There is one move that will not meet with favor among the residents of "no-man's land" between the two cities and that is for either Anaheim or Fullerton to attempt to incorporate the strip of about a mile. "We'll undoubtedly desire to come into one or the other city later, but not now," one prominent rancher stated today. "At present there would be no object in doing so, as we have electricity, gas and domestic water." A. W. BLACK PASSES AWAY AT 8:30 A.M. Mr. A. W. Black, one of Anaheim's most useful and honest citizens, passed away this morning at 8:30 at his ranch home in East Anaheim. Mr. Black was born in Traverse City, Mich., where he passed his early life, coming to California about 25 years ago. He was engaged in business in Los Angeles for many years, but about eight years ago came to Anaheim and has resided at his ranch home since that time. Mr. Black took an active interest in civic life, gaining the respect and confidence of every one with whom he came in contact. He leaves a large circle of friends and acquaintances to whom his going is a personal loss. He was ever ready with a kind word and helping hand to those who were less fortunate than himself. His home life was a beautiful example to the com- FIRE PUMP REDUCES RATES Reliable information has been received by Beebe & Harrison, local insurance agency of 120 North Los Angeles-st., that there will be a considerable reduction in fire rates to become effective in the near future. This will have been due largely to the installation of the new fire pump, the better class of business blocks being erected in our city and the general clean-up of the alleys, which has reduced the fire hazard. It is confidently expected that a very substantial reduction will be made on residence property as well as in the business district. Mr. Harrison states that the firm has been quietly working on this matter, that many difficulties and obstacles were encountered and that it has taken considerable time and patience to overcome them. PATIENTS IN PANIC AT HOSPITAL FIRE Patients at the Santa Ana Community Hospital were thrown into a panic at 11 p.m., Sunday when fire spread to the roof from a defective gas heater. Firemen complained they were badly hampered by large crowds of spectators. The blaze was confined to the roof, however, and damage limited to $25. A small fire at the Santa Ana S.P. station earlier in the evening did $10 damage.
