WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. Plain LEADING N VOL. XXVI—NO. 20. ALLIES CLASS HALL STICKS OUT FOOT IN CENTER-ST Terra Catta Arrives in Bad Condition from Frisco; Delays Building Here's a nice legal question: While the city owns the sidewalks, can it put a building on them; or are they dedicated for sidewalk purposes only? The question has arisen in the minds of a number of East Center-st business property owners on discovering that the new city hall extends out from the regular building line onto the sidewalk in much the same manner as several other business blocks have stuck out like a more thumb for, lo, these many years and which have aroused separable periods of protest. Apparently, city councilmen found out, what many had long contended, that the old city hall site was none too big for the new structure and lapped onto the sidewalk.

Apparently, city councilmen found out, what many had long contended, that the old city hall site was none too big for the new structure and lapped over onto the sidewalk. With building operations now standing at the first floor, the extension of about 12½ inches into Center-st is decidedly noticeable. It will be more so when the walls go up. Another delay in the city hall construction was predicted today when in unloading the first car of terra cotta it was found that considerable number of the forms had been badly disfigured in shipping. The imitation granite finish is very fragile. The terra cotta shipped from Frisco and apparently not enough straw was used in packing. The terra cotta manufacturers promised to deliver the first earload within 75 days after the city hall building contract was signed. More than 75 days have already elapsed and the first car has just arrived in bad shape. In much as the forms are from original designs and they require considerable time in manufacturing, particularly in the baking and enamel process, it was stated today that broken pieces might not be replaced within 30 days, holding up operations for that length of time. It was found necessary to buy terra cotta in Frisco because the building rush in So. Cal. had swamped Los Angeles yards. OUTLINE RULES OF FAIR AUTO EXHIBIT The committee in charge of the automobile show in connection with the Orange County Fair in Santa Ana met at Santa Ana yesterday and outlined the rules for exhibiting, etc. No special advertising will be permitted, the committee decided, because they interfere with business. The committee especially is opposed to noise making devices. The show will occupy 17,400 square feet of space in a separate tent. After the meeting Riley met the directors of the fair and discussed terms of sale space. The committee acting in behalf of the Orange County Auto Trades Association, will alone be responsible for such sales. The Auto Trades Associatoin committee cosists besides Riley of L. P. Damewood of Orange, and Otto Hahn J. E. Livesey and John L. Wheeler of Santa Ana. JOINT BOARD MEETING ON OUTFALL Next Tuesday was set last night by the City Council of Santa Ana as the date for its proposed joint meeting with the Anaheim City Council to consider the request of Fullerton that it be permitted to unite with its sister cities in the joint outfall sewer. Brea, LaHabra etc., it is possible, may come in Mayor William tark, chairman of also, as City Engineer Ben F. Dupuy of Fullerton recommends. The place of meeting is left to Mayor William Stark, chairman of joint committee of the two councils. FULLERTON BOARD MUST CUT BUDGET An ordinance providing a reduction of the tax rate of Fullerton from $1.80 to $1.30 was passed last night by trustees. The reduction was due to the fact that the higher rate was unlawful, J. T. Lyons, city attorney, stating that if the tax rate should be placed at a figure higher than $1.30 it would be necessary to issue bonds. Another ordinance was given the first reading fixing the amount to be raised at $188,102.85. It was necessary for a big slash in the budget, and midnight saw the trustees with this job still uncompleted. An ordinance was passed amending the former ordinance for the granting of a franchise to the Los Angeles and Salt Lake Ry. for a rightofway thru Fullerton, the new ordinance making the right-of-way along Walnut-ave, parallel and adjacent to the Santa Fe tracks. The ordinance provided that the road should be built within the next six months. The former right-of-way was about a quarter of a mile south. This new ordinance eliminates the danger of two crossings on So. Spadra-rd, which south-side citizens affirmed would constitute a death trap. Permission was granted the Anaheim Union Water Co. to lay a new pipe line on Drake-ave. The Starbuck-rd was discussed, but no action was taken. A resolution was adopted abandoning an alley in Welton's subdivision. An ordinance was passed, providing for a bond election for $160,000 with embezzlement from the Golden Gate. F. E.

Neeley of San Francisco, charged with driving while intoxicated, was arraigned before Judge W. French of Fullerton this morning. He was arrested over the week-end, and he desired that the date of his hearing not be set until he saw whether or not he would be able to make bond, as he says that he would like to return to San Francisco before having his trial. If he is able to make bond, his request will be granted, it is expected. BIG HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMEN CLASS Up to noon today 135 freshmen had registered at Anaheim H. S.

Y. Williams late yesterday instructed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty in the case of Walter Hodges, charged with embezzlement of a Hupmobile from the Golden State Motor Co. F. E. Valentine, who pressed the charged, was put on the stand by Dep. Dist. Atty. Mozely and identified the partnership contract of the Golden State Motor Co., between Valentine, Hodges and J. Lloyd Moore. Valentine also identified the option and contract under which the Ross Brro.' interests were sold to Valentine and Moore. Likewise, Valentine identified the contract between George, Walter and W. A. Ross, Valentine and Moore in which it was plainly stated that Hodges STRIKE WRIT ATTACK IS PLANNED Move to Modify or Quash Federal Order Will Be Started WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. Playing the Chicago rail injunction as "violation of law and the constitution," Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Arkansas, today condemned the govern­ment's conduct of strarke negotiations. In a prepared speech on the floor of the sen­ate Robinson charged the inju­nition "exceeded the powers of the court" and was a violation of the "constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the right of peaceable assemby."

Sept. 6.—Con­fession that he burned alive pretty 19-year-old Flora Gray after she had successfully repulsed his advances in her bedroom in the dead of night, with made to-day by Omar Roberts, 68, prominent guide and proprietor of a hunting lodge.

MAY OBTAIN MODJESKA'S RESIDENCE with embezzlement of a Hupmobile from the Golden State Motor Co. F. E. Valentine, who pressed the charged, was put on the stand by Dep. Dist. Atty. Mozely and identified the partnership contract of the Golden State Motor Co., between Valentine, Hodges and J. Lloyd Moore. Valentine also identified the option and contract under which the Ross Brro.' interests were sold to Valentine and Moore. Likewise, Valentine identified the contract between George, Walter and W. A. Ross, Valentine and Moore in which it was plainly stated that Hodges owned an interest in the lease. Valentine denied at all times that Hodges had any interest in the business. Gilbert S. Donaldson, put on by the state, testified that Hodges had morigaged a Hupmobile motor number 66-053, May 4, for the purpose of canceling a former obligation of Ross Bros. and Hodges on a Chalmers auto and due May 4, the obligation being transferred from one car to the other. O. D. Kiefer was called by the state and corroborated Valentine's testimony that Hodges had been instructed May 13, to take the mortgaged Hupmobile to Los Angeles. No witnesses were called by the defense, Atty. W. I. Gilbert, chief counsel for Hodges, arguing the legal phases of the case and moving for dismissal. After 45 minutes' argument Judge Williams said: "I will have to instruct the jury to return a verdict of not guilty because this contract, construed with this option, plainly shows that this defendant was a partner in the Golden State Motor Co., and it is one of the fundamental laws, not only of California but of other states, that one partner cannot steal from another partner."

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Organized labor expects to squash or force modification of the Daugherty injunction. Legal experts of labor, preparing to oppose Attorney General Daugherty's report that the injunction be permanent say they have an excellent chance to have the permanent injunction refused unless the government modifies it. Samuel Gompers also believes labor will succeed in beating the injunction. This belief is predicated in part upon utterances from the White House and Daugherty. Within the past few hours both these sources have made it clear that the government did not intend to apply all the restrictive clauses of the injunction. DECLARE REPORT OF SETTLEMENT UNTRUE CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—Reports that at least partial settlement of the railroad shopmen's strike had been reached were denied on every hand here today.

It was also stated that Jewell was to return here today.

Established some seven cars ago they have maintained a high standard of integrity in their dealings with their clients, and thus today we find the house one of the best thought of concerns in the real estate business. Chas. Eygabroad, intelligent and pleasant man, was one of the founders of the Anaheim National Bank and at one time the president of that institution. He is now one of the directors of the First National Bank of this city. But he is a real estate man above all other things, and he knows the city and county as few men do. Mr. B. Fisher is an old time resident of this city and beside being an active realty man he is also a director in the Anaheim National Bank. He is a most pleasant man and with a brand of humor that leaves a radiant impression on those who meet him. Geo. W. Hamler has resided in Anaheim for more than 14 years.

France wants to give back Constantinople to the Turks and virtually to restore Turkey in Europe as it was before the World War began, thus removing any penalty for Mohammedan participation in the struggle against the allies. This position on the part of the French already has brought about a clash among the allies, and Lloyd George has laid the matter before the British cabinet.

Hayden, Santa Ana Rotary, that the primary maintain the historic one. France wants to give back Constantinople to the Turks and virtually to restore Turkey in Europe as it was before the World War began, thus removing any penalty for Mohammedan participation in the struggle against the allies. This position on the part of the French already has brought about a clash among the allies, and Lloyd George has laid the matter before the British cabinet. Great Britain and Italy are firmly behind Greece, whose armies have been beaten and whose military front has collapsed in the face of the victorious drive of the Turk forces, which are within 75 miles of Smyrna and advancing practically without resistance. American warships are reported already in Smyrna harbor and so disposed as to protect American interests but a clash with the Turks is likely, as looting, murder and rapiine being indulged in to an unbridled degree by the Mohammedan armies. The Greeks are maintaining only a feeble rear guard action and are fleeing in rout before the Turks, who are on the point of enveloping the Greek forces and capturing Greek headquarters at Smyrna. The British, American and Italian warships are reported to have orders to bar the Turk forces from entering Smyrna, but it is doubtful if, in the flush of their victory and drunk with blood and looting, the Turks will listen to these warnings. Many thousands of Christians already have been killed by the victorious forces. CITY WILL BE STUCCO H. E. Dierker, well-known Anaheim rancher and builder, has purchased 20 lots no No. Clementine-st in the Owens & Jones tract thru Geo. W. Hamler of Eygabroad and Fisher and plans to construct a modern residence on each. Each of the 20 houses Dierker plans to finish in stucco. Architecture will be Spanish and English. He has obtained an agreement from purchasers of five other lots in the 800-foot block to finish their buildings while Hamler will sell the six remaining lots with the same understanding. This will make a solid street of stucco homes which promises to make it one of the places of Orange-co. The lots range in frontage 47 to 61 feet. Dierker has started three houses. The first one will cost $7500. He will build any size desired by home-seekers. Mr. Hamler says: "Watch No. Clementine-st. It's going to be the finest residential street in the city." SWIPE TENT WITH OWNER IN GROVE While William Zimmerman, who has a grove three miles west of Anaheim, was at one end of the grove, a stranger came along and carried off a fumigating tent that was in use at the other end. It was a 36-foot tent marked in stencil "Zimmerman & Priest". The tent was pulled off the tree uncremoniously and disappeared before Zimmerman even caught a glimpse of the theft or thieves or the car they are belived to have used. Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY TREATS 'NEWSIES Some two dozen newsboys of Anaheim enjoyed the hospitality of P. G. Richardson, local assistant secretary of the Y. M. C. A. last evening. Swimming and diving races and contests featured the early part of the evening and when a big benfire was built and the word was passed around that a wienie bake would be held, the plunge was instantly forgotten. Watermelons were passed around and all ate to their hearts' content. As a special prize to those who won a place in the aquatic contest, an extra piece of pie was given, the other being presented with one.
