Pulling up to the station when the proprietor, C. H. Clark, was abent, the nomads attempted to intimidate Victor Kohler, 16, who had been left in charge. There were three cars in the party, each containing four or five. A Paige touring car, containing a man who displayed a gun, pulled directly before the door and a gypsy woman got out, frightened away to still younger boy and told young Kohler if he would go into the service station with her, she would tell his fortune. He declined. Then she asked him to open the cash register, saying she would "bless the money." Again he declined. Finally, she gave him a quarter for a five-cent bar of candy and when he opened the cash drawer to make change, she told him if he closed it she would kill him. She grabbed a handful of quarters, waved them about, blew upon them, told him to blow on them and said it would bring him good fortune. The boy prevented her taking an inner tube which she grabbed as she rushed out. The caravan drove out the station and disappeared in the direction of Broadway. It is not known which direction they went on that thorofare. When the proprietor returned 20 minutes later to find Kohler badly frightened, he notified the police of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Long Beach. Santa Ana police reported some gypsies had been there since the robbery. GIRL WITNESS GOES TO SCENE OF CRIME LOS ANGELES, Sept. 12.—Quiet Montecito drive, where the revolting hammer murder of pretty Alberta Meadows occurred, was the stage set for the re-enactment of the crime in all its ghastly details today, when officers led Peggy Caffey, the state's star witness in the prosecution against Clara Phillips, charged with the crime, to the scene for the purpose of making a map of the slaying. Officers urged Mrs. Caffey to describe the murder as she witnessed it until the horror of the deed caused her to run, fainting, from the scene where one girl lay dead and bleeding and another stood over her with a bloody hammer clutched in her hand. Undersheriff Eugene Biscailluz, Deputy Sheriffs Dewar and Stensland and a deputy county surveyor accompanied Mrs. Caffey to the scene. The attractive witness shuddered as she pointed out familiar spots while the surveyor diagramed the representative Louis T. McFadden of Pennsylvania, chairman of the banking and currency committee of the House, has been mentioned as a possibility for Controller of the Currency in case Controller Crissinger were named Governor of the Federal Reserve Board. CITRUS CROP MAKING UP LOST TIME The alowness in development of the next orange crop, which delayed fumigation approximately a month this year, has been matched by failure of the black scale to mature, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n. Grove owners may consider themselves fortunate that this is so, said Sandilands. Furthermore, fumigators and others have found that the fruit is making up for the retardation in development and may become normal within the next few months. Sandilands refused to make any predictions regarding the size of the fruit of the next crop, because weather conditions next winter are optimistic, but was inclined to be optimistic. The fumigators of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n also are active. The independent organizations, who hire the work done by private fumigators, have been busy for some time past. The work will continue for 60 to 75 days, depending upon the time already spent. Next February and March the remaining 40 or 50 per cent of the work will be done.

The attractive witness shuddered as she pointed out familiar spots while the surveyor diagramed the scene of the crime. TARIFF BILL GOES BACK TO HOUSE WASHINGTON, ept. 12. — The Fordney-McCumber tariff bill, designated officially as the "tariff act of 1922," was returned today to the house from conference. After two years in the making, the bill in final form was laid before the lower chamber, which will consider it tomorrow. Leaders hope it can be sent to the senate on Thursday and to the White House for signature shortly afterward. The bill is regarded, in general, as the highest tariff ever imposed by an American congress. Conferences, however, slashed materially the high rates in the original Senate bill. DRINK IF TAXES PAID, IN SWEDEN PARIS, Sept. 12.—Drink if your taxes are paid. Our dry United States might adopt this method, which is actually in use in Sweden, whee the sale of alcohol is restricted. Wen have the right to four litres and the women to three per month. The state issues little tickets of consumption which are not valid unless stamped by the tax collector, meaning that you owe him nothing. TRUCK BACKS INTO CAR An accident was reported to the local police today in which a Commerce truck driven by Robert Paine of the Santa Ana Soda Works backed from the curb and struck a Chevrolet car driven by J. S. Kelsey of Anheim. The car was damaged, the side of the door and body being out. CURTAIL PROPOSED CITY OF PLACENTIA Cutting down the property to be included in the proposed corporation of Placentia from a piece with an assessed valuation of $16,000,000 to one of $2,000,000 with a population of 1500 to 2000 widely scattered and reducing the area one-half, the Board of Supervisors today postponed until next Tuesday—the final hearing on the petition to incorporate. The petition was signed by 75 signatures and presented by Horace Lucy, I Ibsen and George J. Holmes. Considerable opposition was shown to the plan in the shape of two adverse petitions, one presented by Attorney E. J. Marks of Fullerton in behalf of C. C. Chapman and other prominent residents of the eastern section together with various oil companies, and the other by Horace J. Head, Santa Ana attorney, for H. H. Hale and other leading ranchers of the northern section. The signatures of the petitioners must be verified, before the next hearing. UNEMPLOYED IS BACK TO NORMAL WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.—Unemployment is at normal in the United States, Secretary of Labor Davis told the International Association of Public Employment Services.

Harding seems to have passed and a surgical operation is now deemed unnecessary," said the official bulletin issued from the White House shortly before 10 o'clock this morning. The bulletin showed that Mrs. Harding's temperature had declined 1.2 degrees since last night, that her pulse had increased 4 points and that respiration had advanced from 28 to 32. Despite the improvement in Mrs. Harding's condition the White House announced at 10 o'clock that the regular bi-weekly cabinet meeting would not be held today and that President Harding would not see the newspaper correspondents, as is his usual custom at 1 o'clock this afternoon. The White House statement follows: "Temperature, 98.8. "Pulse, 94. "Respiration, 32. "Early part of night restless. Latter part comfortable. General appearance improved. Enlargement due to nephrosis decreasing." "Laboratory findings favorable. Crisis seems to have been passed. Surgical procedure seemed unnecessary for present." "C. E. SAWYER, M. D." Dr. Charles Mayo, the famous Rochester, Minn., surgeon, who hurried to Washington when it was believed an operation might be the only means of saving Mrs. Harding, probably will return to his home today. KIWANIANS' WIVES GIVE 'EM SURPRISE Anaheim's biggest surprise party was held today at the Elks' clubhouse, when Kiwanians, filling into their dining-room for the usual weekly luncheon meeting, were greeted by their ladies, 40 or 50 strong. "Hail, Hail the Gang's All Hear," sang the members of the fair sex present, while the members gasped. Mrs. C. S. O'Toole presided and looked after the program, which was musical except for three speeches. Miss R. T. Grim was secretary. Mrs. A. B. McCord, who attended with her husband the annual international convention of the Kiwanis in Toronto, spoke on the need of going to conventions, having in mind especially the district convention Nov. 15-16 at San Francisco, at which delegates from all over California will be present. Mrs. C. C. Smith outlined briefly what the Kiwanis should do for the underprivileged child. This subject, which was prominent on the program of the Toronto meeting, is being presented. Shortage in Residences and Stores Brings Greatest Boom in Building. Two billions of dollars is the valuation placed by economists upon the stores and residences that should have been constructed to provide for the country's normal development between 1914 and 1922. Consequently that collossal figure measures the shortage we have inherited from the days when soaring construction costs made building unprofitable, and when men and materials were being diverted to war purposes. The chart shown above, based on the building permits issued the last 20 years in a score of the largest cities, indicates how nearly the country approached complete building stagnation. In 1918 the curve approached closest its base line. With construction at almost 90 per cent below normal, the country was supplying a little more than a tenth of the buildings it needed. Economists are finding that most business and industrial activities move in cycles. From an examination of records it appears that normal and sub-normal periods are followed at regular intervals by "boom" or "peak" years. The chart shows how true this "law of cycles" is of the building trades. Beginning in 1903 we note the "peaks" in 1906, 1909, 1913, 1916, 1919 and 1922. They recur regularly at three- or four-year intervals. The phenomenal building activity now sweeping the country could have been predicted three years ago.

Mrs. C. C. Smith outlined briefly what the Kiwanis should do for the underprivileged child. This subject, which was prominent on the program of the Toronto meeting, is being considered by Kiwanis all over America and Canada this year. Mrs. C. W. Austin, president of the Parent-teachers' Ass'n urged the need of playground equipment here and of trees in the park and on the school grounds. "Madame Zena," guest of J. F. Ahlorn, gave those present a thrill when "she" removed "her wig and turned out to be a former newspaper publisher here. Madam Zena sang a contralto solo, "I Love You Truly". Miss Joanette Jessurum, accompanied by Miss Edna Hochull and Mrs. Bud Holland, accompanied by Mrs. Edith Trotter, also sang. LOSE BUMPER IN CRASH An accident was reported to local police last night in which a car owned by C. C. Randall, 130 West Center-st, collided. One car lost a bumper. FAST TIME ON "HOME RUN" A. M.

POWER ACT DEBATE ATTRACTS INTEREST No question in many months has aroused the interest in attendance and discussion at the Farm Center meetings like the debates on the California Water and Power Act. No one realizes more than the farmer that without water his $5,000 an acre-orange grove would not need a dollar sign to represent its value; that water is the biggest factor in the prosperity of California agriculture. The speakers on both sides have given a great deal of study to the subject. Many of them have been speaking for several months and are able to answer questions on any phase of the problem. Debates are being held this week as follows: Tonight at Anaheim high school. Thursday night, Sept. 14, at La Habra grammar school. Garden Grove Farm Center, Sept. 15, Garden Grove Y. M. C. A. hall. BIG VOTE CAST IN ARIZONA PRIMARIES PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. 12.-Former Gov. W. P. Hunt "went to the bat" with Charles B. Ward of this city for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in the state primary today. A heavy vote was being cast, it was indicated from early reports. The hottest campaign in recent years has just ended. Former Governor Hunt was accused of being a "Red" and an I. W. W. TELL SWIM FOR LIFE UNDER BURNING OIL NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-Prof. Edward Kemmerer of Princeton university told today how he, his wife and two children had saved themselves by swimming past an expanse of an Argentina river. The Parana riffle lessor Kemmerer With his family The cookhouse, where 1400 people with the big troupe are served three meals each day, was the mecca for many. It was interesting to watch the men at the portable ranges, the steam tables and the ovens going smoothly and easily about the task of feeding so many folks in such an expedited manner. Fred Seymour, the steward, has handled the Sells-Floot cookhouse and dining tents for years, and he knows every angle. His men, who stick with him year after year, are experts. There 120 men in his department. The Sells-Floot street parade—the largest in the world this year—is indeed good to look upon. There is much that is novel, gorgeous and appealing. The horses are sleek, plump and well groomed, and there are many of them—480 in all. All cages and dens were open to view this forenoon. Of the 20 elephants, ten were in parade. The others, the famous Sells-Floot baby pachyderms, including Tom Thumb, age 5 months, smallest infant elephant on earth, are too little to hike in the down town pagement. They are to be seen in the big menageries tent on the lot. The performances, starting at 2 and 3 p.m., open with "Night In Cairo," huge lyrical spectacle employing 1,100 people and animals. Three rings, two stages, and aerial maze and a racing hippodrome track constitute the Sells-Floot arena."

AUTO CRASH STARTLES HORSE Henry J. Schulz, of Cypress Dies from Fractured Skull Last Night Henry J. Schulz, 58, a former resident of Anaheim, who two years ago moved to a ranch on Lincoln-blvd. near Cypress, died last night from injuries sustained when the home he was driving ran away after the wagon had been struck by an automobile from the rear. Mr. Schulz was thrown to the ground, his skull being fractured. The accident occurred about 7:30 o'clock, and he died shortly past 11. Mr. Schulz had been to Buena Park and was within a few hundred yards of his house when the accident occu closest its base section at almost new normal, the playing a little of the buildings finding that industrial acccles.

They three- or fourthe phenomenal new sweeping the been predicted it is not to line will fall to any great extent. However it may fluctuate, it must remain in the area of abnormally high activity. From 1903 to 1914 it rose and fell without wandering far from the normal line. Surpluses balanced deficits and no appreciable shortage could accumulate. But after 1914 the line was continuously below normal, and the need for new building became increasingly acute. Since the country must make up this tremendous deficiency while it is supplying its current needs, we must look for at least five years of abnormally high building activity. The deficit is mainly in stores and residences. In reliing the shortage that exists in his type of construction alone, workmen who are really skilled in the building trades will find continuous and profitable employment for years to come. START WORK ON A. U. W. CO. DAM The Prendergast Construction Co., which received the contract to build the $15,900 dam along the Santa Ana river, will begin work this week, W. B. Parrett, acting superintendent of the Anaheim Union Water Co., said today, on his return from the site. The dam itself will conserve no water, being much primarily to spread the water, but indirectly it will conserve much water, said Parrett, by preventing the silt and quicksand from being cut away and from thus permitting the water rapidly to seep thru the sand and rocks. The mixture of quicksand and silt is almost impenetrable, and if kept in place will retard seepage until the water is thoroughly spread out. The project will require 60 days to complete. It consists of a steel frame stretching 136 feet across the stream, and Henry J. Schulz, 58, a former resident of Anaheim, who two years ago moved to a ranch on Lincoln-bvd near Cypress, died last night from injuries sustained when the home he was driving ran away after the wagon had been struck by an automobile from the rear. Mr. Schulz was thrown to the ground, his skull being fractured. The accident occurred about 7:30 o'clock, and he died shortly past 11. Mr. Schulz had been to Buena Park and was within a few hundred yards of his house when the accident occurred. The ear which struck his wagon was driven by Gydo Paleri, a resident of Cypress and a close friend of Mr. Schulz. F. A. Weller of Chalmers Feed Store was a near witness and states that Mr. Schulz had no lights on his wagon. Mr. Weller says he was driving behind Mr. Schulz, and that Mr. Paleri was behind him. Mr. Weller could see the Schulz wagon and turned around it when he hit the opportunity, but that Mr. Paleri had not a chance to see it, since he was between them, and no lights on the wagon. Mr. Weiler says he did not hear the crash, but as he had some feedstuff to leave at Mr. Schulz's home, had speeded up to reach the house, and as he drove into the driveway, and looked back, Mr. Schulz's horse dashed past him into the alpine patch, missing his car only a few inches. Mrs. Schulz who had come out of the house said that it was their horse, and expressed the fear that Mr. Schulz had been hurt. She and Mr. Weiler went back to look for him. They met Mr. Paleri, who had not been hurt in the collision, bring Mr. Schulz, Mr. Paleri having seen him standing up in the wagon as the horse was running away. Mr. Schulz lost his balance as the wagon-struck the orchard, and was thrown head-first to the ground. He was still conscious when brot into the house, and apparently had no broken limbs as he was able to use his hands and feet. He even asked about the horse. But soon blood began to ooze from one ear, the sign of a fractured skull. Dr. J. W. Utter was called, but he grew worse until shortly past 11 when death came. The inquest is to be held at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow at the Backs, Terry & Campbell funeral parlor. Funeral services will be announced tomorrow. Mr. Schulz was a native of Michigan. He leaves a widow and three grown children. He had been a resident of California 33 years, the not of Anaheim that long.

PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR ANAHEIM WELL Prospects are brighter for the bringing in of Hall-Webber well No. 1, in which a number of Anaheims men are interested. Heavy gas pressure blew out rotary mud at 2900 feet yesterday. The well is now down 2980 feet, altho the Rogers & Edwards Drilling Co. started only 20 days ago. It is located on the first slope of the main hill east of Cherrieve. and south of west and Canyon drive. The drill is now in sticky shale, the oil and shale showing for the last 100 feet. With the coming in of Wilbur No. 2, the Hall-Webber well is considered a sure shot, conditions pointing to the cementing off within 100 feet. BLUNDERS WHY IS THIS WRONG? The answer will be found among to-day's want ads. (This is the second of three "blunders," sometimes made by high school graduates on entering college.) (Copyright, 1922, Associated Editors)
