The total for the year to noon today is $970,283, compared with $642,-570 for the first eight months last year. While the million mark was not reached until December last year, it will be attained early in September this year, it was apparent today. Building permits for August up to noon today total $92,664, compared with $94,570 for all of August last year. J. W. Price, city building inspector, said that this month's total would exceed the amount of August last year before the records of the month were closed this afternoon. Price expects to see the biggest spurt in nome building the city has ever experienced this fall, on account of the unusually heavy demand for homes. This has already been noticed within the last ten days. "A lot of people tried to make out with temporary quarters last winter," says Price. "'They are anxious to get up permanent homes before winter comes." The record by months last year compared with this: | Year | Amount | | :--- | :--- | | January | $130,400 | | February | $58,950 | | March | $121,000 | | April | $65,200 | | May | $20,000 | | June | $62,600 | | July | $89,850 | | August | $94,570 | Total $642,570 $970,283 PASTOR OF WHITE TEMPLE VERY ILL Dr. J.A. Geissinger, pastor of the White Temple, suffering with a severe attack of blood poisoning, was brut home today in an ambulance from his summer cotlage on Balboa Island. Dr. C.W. Harvey, who has been with him constantly for several days, accompanied him home. While constructing a small pier in the bay before his home, the minister bruised his knee. It is that wound. He is particularly susceptible to bloodpoisoning, having had several severe attacks previously. BILLY KNOTT CHILDREN IN CRASH Billy Knott, popular manager of the champ Elks baseball team, and Mrs. Knott are thanking their lucky stars today that their children, Billy Jr., six, and Bettle four, are alive today following a serious auto accident last evening. The children were accompanying Elwood Billig in the delivery car of Knott's market. When Billig hit the dip in Center-st at the Olive-st intersection at a rather fast pace, he looked about to see how the children had weathered the bump. The moment's removal of his eyes from the road was sufficient to permit a collision with another car. The delivery car turned over, both children being thrown clear. Bettle was shot clear across Center-st. Billy Jr., suffered a cut on an arm and a bruised hip and Bettle sustained a cut on the head. None of the injuries are considered serious. Bettle suffered a fractured rib and bruised arm. Knott has not learned the names of those in the other car. They were all men going to work.

Sometimes last night the safe of the Dale Hardware Co. in the county seat city was broken open with a sledge hammer used to knock off the combination. The burglar obtained about $200. No explosives were used. Police stated today they had no clues. Last Christmas holidays several similar burgalties were reported at Santa Ana. $1500 FUND ASKED FOR CONVENTION The Anaheim Realty Board at a luncheon today in the Elks' Clubhouse, passed a motion instructing Secretary A. E. Hargrove to prepare a letter, to be signed by all the boards in the county, requesting the Board of Supervisors for an appropriation of $1500 with which to entertain the realtors from other counties attending the annual convention in Santa Ana of the California Real Estate Ass'n., next December. It was decided at the meeting to hold the next joint meeting of boards at Balboa next Friday afternoon and evening, beginning at 4 o'clock. There will be a band, with dancing in the evening, following the business sessions of the afternoon. Members and their wives are invited. These joint meetings will be continued until the convention, it is announced. Ten Santa Ana board members were present. Everett A. White, of Santa Ana, regional director of the state organization; Jack Wallace, President Freeman H. Bloodgood and others weer among the ten. Several somewhat intricate and involved cases of deals were discussed. The board is opposed to awarding commissions at suits of law to persons who have no licenses. Justice J. B. Cox awarded such a commission recently, it was charged, to C. R. Ward, of Santa Ana. Yesterday, according to Judge J. S. Howard, who rat in the case, Wood was held over to answer in Superior Court in connection with the same case. The board has interested itself in the case of an old German couple who were persuaded not long ago to sign a contract not to purchase property or near Anaheim except from HAY BY VOTE SWITCH Moore Lead in County 13, 000 Woolwine Wins Over Jones LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31.—A big shakeup reaching the proportions of a cataclysmic upheaval is expected to follow the generally expected election in November of Friend W. Richardson as governor. Official heads in the state service, bureau chiefs, commissioners, deputies and son on down the line with the exception of those who are under civil service are likely to fall if Richardson takes over the reins of government. For Richardson made his campaign principally on the basis of economy in the state administration and repeatedly declared that if he was elected he would "kick out" the present state machine and would endeavor to reduce the number of commissions and state officials. Of course if Woolwine should happen to win there would also be a housecleaning in the capital. The railroad commissioners are believed to be safe until their terms expire, as they are appointed for a definite term. The bank commissioner, state corporation commissioner and many other commission heads and certain deputies hold office at the pleasure of the governor, and it is probable Richardson will swing the axe with vigor on most of the Stephens appointees. Furthermore, if Richadrson is elected, he probably will engage in many battles with the legislature at the next session. The legislature apparently will be largely composed of the members who served during the Stephens administration. If Richardson makes good on the campaign pledges to cut the cost of state administration by millions of dollars a year, he probably will run afoul of the legislative body and a hot fight will result. The big topic of discussion throughout the state today was the defeat of Stephens. Locally the upset was attributed to a number of factors. Stephens seems to have been caught between the upper and the nether millstones. In Los Angeles, some of his ardent supporters were battling furiously. BLUE LIGHT MINES TO RE-OPEN The Blue Light Silver Mining Co. of Anaheim is getting its 50-ton mill in operation again at its Silverado properties after extensive blocking out of new ore. Several hundred feet of new tunnels have been drilled and some very rich ore uncovered on a vein 35 feet wide. The development work has been proceeding steadily for several months under the direction of experienced engineers who report there has now been blocked out sufficient well paying or to operate a mill of several times the present capacity for a number of years. The company has sacked and ready for shipping to smelter in San Francisco 50 tons of very rich righ grade ore. The mill will be started in a few days. URGE S. A. VETERAN FOR STATE OFFICE Several Orange-co. legion men plan to attend the state convention of the veterans at San Jose; Sept. 5 to 8. An especial effort is to be made to land Maurice Endler, of Santa Ana, deputy county assessor, as state vice-commander. Stanley Reinhaus, of Santa Ana, will lead the fight for Endler. He is now in San Francisco and will proceed to San Jose before the convention to look over the land. Other Santa Ana men besides Endler attending will be Thomas Scudder and Elmer Prince. A year ago So. Cai delegates promised to support Endler for the post this year. Pasadena and Eureka are seeking next year's convention. Three of four Santa Ana auxiliary delegates, Misses Louise Tubbs and Margaret Esau and Mrs. Frank Wollaston leave Sunday evening by train. The Anaheim delegates will be headed by County Commander William P. Webb, Jr., who will be accompanied to San Jose Sunday by Commander William Goodrum, James J. Hunt, Robert Gregg and A. H. Shipke. The other local representatives who have already left for thevention city are J. C. Downey, Arnold Enearl, M. W. Martenet and Dr. H. C. Wilhelm. Hanford MacNider, national commander, has been invited to address the convention, and Governor Will- The board has lingered itself in the case of an old German couple who were persuaded not long ago to sign a contract not to purchase property in or near Anaheim except from a certain dealer. Members of the board charged that the owners and occupants of the property after the couple had paid a deposit of $100, moved out, taking with them the furniture and fixtures, which the couple understood weer to go with the house. The board voiced its opposition to the endorsement of political candidates of any party. It was declared at the meeting that the so-called Big Five in Los Angeles had endorsed Stephens and Moore before the recent primary election. G. M. Simpson and C. C. Randall of the Simpson Realty Co., new members, voiced their approval of the board's aims. President Freeman H. Bloodgood of the Santa Ana board, an ex-seniorman of Orange-co., urged measures to make the realty law more watertight. An instance was mentioned of an unlicensed broker, who obtained a license merely to get the commission on a particular deal which he was promoting with a licensed dealer. The latter said in effect: "The law forbids my sharing the commission which we shall make on this deal after the property comes out of escrow. However, the law permits me to enter into an agreement to pay you the commission, providing you shall have obtained one. Go and get your license and we will split." The intention, if not the letter of the law is that no commission shall be given except to a regularly licensed broker whose business is real estate, according to Secretary Hargrove.

Fitst, in charge of the campaign for the $10,000,000 far mandate site bond issue, will speak in its behalf. Much of the convention will be occupied with the discussion of similar measures of aid to ex-service men. HOPE TO RESCUE 43 ENTRAPPED MINERS JACKSON, Cal., Aug. 31.—Hope was running high in Jackson today that rescue of the 43 miners trapped by fire in the Argonaut gold mine early Monday is near at hand. Efforts to reach the men were nearing a climax. The crew digging from the Kennedy mine was hopeful that if no ill luck is encountered they will soon be in position to tap the Argonaut level. Another drive for the Argonaut shaft from the Kennedy was started today as a precaution in case the first one should encounter insurmountable difficulties in the form of an extraordinary rock formation or rock fall. BOMB EXPLOSIONS SHAKE CLEVELAND CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 31.—Four houses under construction were destroyed, foundations of many other loosened and windows in houses for an area of half a mile were shattered early today as the result of explosions in the Garfield Heights section of the city.

Richardson and the victory of Thomas Lee Woolwine in the Democratic primary is likely to bring the wet and dry issue strongly before the people of California at the election in November, it developed today. Woolwine's strong vote in San Francisco and many other northern towns in the Democratic primary was largely based on the current belief that Woolwine Will favor light wines and beer before the campaign's over. Mattison Jones, who opposed Woolwine for the Democratic nomination, made his campaign as one of the "dryest of the drys." Woolwine was silent on the prohibition question, but the word was widely circulated that although he opposed strong liquor, he was friendly to light wines and beer. Committees OF C. OF C. NAMED Committees of Anaheim C. of C., 1922-23, have been complied and at Francisco and many other northern towns in the Democratic primary was largely based on the current belief that Woolwine Will favor light wines and beer before the campaign is over. Mattison Jones, who opposed Woolwine for the Democratic nomination, made his campaign as one of the "dryest of the drys." Woolwine was silent on the prohibition question, but the word was widely circulated that although he opposed strong liquor, he was friendly to light wines and beer. Richardson, on the other hand, favors the dryness of the Sahara desert. In San Francisco one of the newspapers conducted a column on whether Stephens or Richardson was the dryest candidates for the Republican nomination with the result that it was declared that while Stephens was "bone dry," Richardson was 100 per cent dryer than that and he was finally hailed "as dry as the bones of a mummy." With the Wright enforcement measure coming up at the November election and with the possibility that Woolwine will come out for light wines and beer, there promises to be a red-hot campaign during the next 10 weeks. San Francisco and many of the northern counties are far more concerned over the wet and dry issue than over Ku Klux Klan, economy in state management, political partnership or anything else. Already the guns are popping and the heavy artillery will be in action soon. The final result of the Richardson-Stephens battle for the Republican victory of Richardson by approximately 17,000 votes. The latest figures, with only a few small precincts to be heard from, give Richardson 247,193, Stephens 230,605. Senator Hiram Johnson's victory is steadily increasing as the final returns are received. Johnson has been nominated for U. S. senator over Charles C. Moore by a majority of between 80,000 and 90,000, the greatest victory scored by any candidate for U. S. senator in the primaries this year. Six years ago Johnson carried California for senator against Willis Booth by only 15,000. The figures today stood: Johnson, 280,307; Moore, 211,136. Next to the contest over the Republican nomination for governor the closest fight in California was that for associate justice of the supreme court. Only small totals on this contest have been counted. On the face of the returns, which include nearly the entire So. Cal. vote, Judge Sloane is leading, but northern returns indicate that there will be a few thousand votes difference between the four candidates. However, as nond of the four candidates—Sloane, Shurtleff, Kerrigan and Seawell—received a majority, all four will run in the final election in November. Governor Stephens is far from being satisfied, it is pointed out, with the manner in which some of his official family performed their campaign duties and it is considered like Committees of Anaheim C. of C., 1922-23, have been completed and at a meeting held this morning by the committee on committees, composed of Messrs.
