Another matter of importance was the election of J. J. Dwyer as vice president to fill the vacancy of C.E. Holcomb, who has resigned on account of moving to Chino Valley, where he is setting out a walnut grove. Men will start to work at the packing house next week to put it in "apple-ple" order to handle the season's crop which is expected to be a very good quality. Announcement will be made latter when the walnuts will be received at the packing house, but it is thought that active operations will begin the first week in October.

Walker, local Santa Fe agent, today received the following wire from H. G. Wells, vice president of the road at Chicago: "To all Interested: "It must be apparent to all interested that the willingness of the railway employs department of American Federation of Labor to make settlements on individual roads as stated in press reports, indicates that there is a realization among the leaders that the strike of the shop men is lost on the Santa Fe. The men at work have organized associations representing all classes with whom the company has executed agreements and settlement with the American Federation is now an impossibility. The Santa Fe has 84 per cent of normal shop force and is hiring substantial number of men daily. My chief concern in the circumstance is that as many of our shop men who are on strike, for whom there may be room, some of them out on strike against their will, shall get back on their jobs while the getting is good." A. G. WELLS. ORANGES KEEPING BETTER THIS YEAR Oranges are keeping in better condition on the trees this year than last, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Asso., who ascribes the difference to the fact that there is less black scale this year and rains were more copious. Oranges are somewhat lighter in color, but the color easily can be restored by sweating, says Manager Sandilands. CITY MANAGER AT CITY HALL TODAY City Manager O. E.

CH CONFERENCE ON $100,000 PARKPLAN City Council and C. of C. Directors will Talk Bond Issues Tonight Do Anaheim voters want their city park improved immediately? City council is ready to proceed if the taxpayers want to plank down the money to the tune of $100,000, Mayor Stark indicated today. To get a line on the public's wishes there will be a joint conference of councilmen and C. of C. directors tonight. The conference will discuss the most pressing needs of the city—how much voters should be asked to pay. CITY PUMPS HAVE TO HUMP All Records Broken For Consumption of Water in Anaheim Announcing the approaching completion next week of the city's new well and pump on the power house grounds, Superintendent V. W. Hanum said today that the city had examined several other sites for future wells. How soon the latter will be sung depends upon Anaheim's requirements, but a better yield can be obtained from wells if they are somewhat scattered than if they are all concentrated within a small space city officials believe. Mob Fanatic In President's Home PARIS, Sept. 8.—A man believed to be demented, who was acting in a suspicious manner, was arrested today in the home of President Alexander Millerand of France—the Elysee palace. The prisoner, who was described by the police as a "fanatic," succeeded in getting by the guards on duty at the entrance and was roaming through the halls when servants found him. When the gendarmes were called the man drew a revolver and fired in the direction of the approaching police. He was quickly seized, overpowered and placed under arrest. NEW PEOPLE TAKE OVER Issues Tonight Do Anaheim voters want their city park improved immediately? City council is ready to proceed if the taxpayers want to plank down the money to the tune of $100,000, Mayor Stark indicated today. To get a line on the public’s wishes there will be a joint conference of councilmen and C. of C. directors tonight. The conference will discuss the most pressing needs of the city—how much voters should be asked to vote for city park improvements, city hall completion, street and light improvements, water and sewer extensions, etc. Because of the rapid growth of the city, the general tax fund is insufficient to take care of these items. "It will take $100,000 to improve the city park, $40,000 to complete the city hall, etc," said Mayor Stark. "If the people want to develop the park now rather than to drag it out, we will have to toyote the bonds." A. O. & L. PURCHASES APARTMENT HOUSE The Anaheim Orange & Lemon Asso has greatly simplified its labor problem with the purchase, announced today, of five lots and an apartment house containing eight apartments at the southeast corner of So. Lemon and Santa Ana-ts., adjoining the So. Pacific tracks on the south. The consideration, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands, was $185.90. The former owners were Schulte and Nehlung. The property was purchased for the use of the association’s picker’s. The picking season lasts of course 10 months of the year, but is most active during the seven months beginning in April. This summer there was less demand for labor because of the smaller crop and the necessity of limiting picking because of the strike, which curtailed shipments. The demand for labor is keenest at the opening of the walnut picking season and of the Anaheim Sugar Co.’s factory. The plans of the association for the use of the property are not yet complete. LOCAL MAN’S CAR HIT D. H. Van Meter of near Anaheim reported to the local police today that his car was run into while parked at the curb and the rearender ruined. The costs were settled out of court. SHERIFF ROUNDS UP MEXICAN AGITATORS in Anaheim Announcing the approaching completion next week of the city’s new well and pump on the power house grounds, Superintendent V. W. Hanum said today that the city had examined several other sites for future wells. How soon the latter will be sung depends upon Anaheim’s requirements, but a better yield can be obtained from wells if they are somewhat scattered than if they are all concentrated within a small space city officials believe. The new well will have a minimum capacity of 1200 gallons per minute under 40 pounds pressure and a maximum of approximately 1400. The motor from the General Electric Co. did not arrive until last week, and this delayed progress. The water on Sept. 1 was at a level of 72 feet, 11 inches below the surface, against 87 feet, 11 inches on the same date last year. From now on the level is expected to rise. For example, last year it rose during September to 84 feet, seven inches. The present storage reservoir is rapidly becoming too small for the demands made upon it. Probably the first step toward increasing water production, following the completion of Well No. 4, will be to overhaul Well No. 3, which has not been keeping pace with the other wells. Consumption of water during the first eight months of this year has been not far from double that of last. The record for eight months this year was something over 211,900,000 gallons and for last more than 169,200,000.

CHOOSE JURY TO TRY MURDER SUSPECTS LOS ANGELES, Sept. 8.—Testimony was scheduled to begin late today in Judge Cole’s court in the murder case of Adam Blaszyk and John Shelest, alleged strangers.

The costs were settled out of court. SHERIFF ROUNDS UP MEXICAN AGITATORS Mexican agitators who try to breed discontent among the beet sugar factory workers will be rounded up by Sheriff C. E. Jackson and his deputies and brought to their senses, the Sheriff announced today. Some of the workers are getting as high as $4.50 per day, but still insist upon working by the day instead of the ton, which enables them to loaf in the midst of a busy season. Formerly $3.00 per day was the rate paid. The Sheriff said the agitation was quite general, although no concerted or organized movement had been started among the Mexicans. FUNERAL OF JAMES SLEEPER, JR., HELD Funeral services for James Sleeper, Jr., son of the county assessor, who died after three days' illness of peritonitis, at the age of 16, were held at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon in Santa Ana.
