Hobson Attacks Alcohol from Scientific Standpoint Last Night That America must be thoroughly cured, or else the hope of the whole world is gone, was the declaration of Capt. R. P. Hobson, hero of the Merriac, in an address last night at Anaheim H. S. auditorium. Capt. Hobson was speaking in behalf of the Alcohol Education Ass'n, of which he is president. He did not consider the question from a moral standpoint. Call, but strictly from the medical, he said that the association stands for the truth, and whatever scientific research shows this to be the facts will be heralded from the housetops. He said that efforts are being made COLUMBUS DAY DULY OBSERVED IN A.'U. H. The Anaheim high school duly celebrated Columbus day with an assembly yesterday morning.

MERCHANTS WILL MEET MONDAY Monday night, Oct. 16th, at 6:30 o'clock, what will be the largest meeting of Anaheim Merchants in the history of the city will be held in the main dining rom of the Elks $1000 FOR CON Enthusiastic Richfield-Atection An influential meeting of the River Protection at Anaheim C. C Mr. G. F. Collins C.R. Vesper as Messrs F. A. Dierker, represent Flood Control Coal secretary we following proper Richfield district the raising of a immediate constriction work WILL MEET MONDAY Monday night, Oct. 16th, at 6:30 o'clock, what will be the largest meeting of Anaheim Merchants in the history of the city will be held in the main dining room of the Elks clubhouse, when speakers in all lines of business will present to the members, and merchants who are not yet enrolled as members, the problems confronting their respective lines of business. Directors of the Anaheim Retail Merchants Protective Ass'n are energetically working to the end that all merchants shall become members of their body, mainly for the purpose of co-operating to protect each other from what may be termed illegitimate competition. "We are not concerned over legitimate competition among ourselves," said one of the directors today, "but we are concerned in the invasion of many of the outside businesses that are here today and gone tomorrow, and in the peddlers who present false claims in connection with their wares. It is our contention, and we believe it is founded on justice, that the merchant who lives here pays taxes of various kinds, and whose money is spent here among the other merchants, should be given preference in trade, over the follow who comes in for a few days or a few weeks to unload something that may or may not have been acquired thru legitimate business channels." Not long ago, two men were in the city wearing uniforms of sailors of the United States navy. They had a back or two filled with furs that they claimed were smuggled into this country and they were selling them at a great "sacrifice." As explained by one of the members of the board of directors, they may have been sailors in the United States navy, but they were not in a very commendable business when they claimed, at the outset, that they were attempting to dispose of smuggled goods. To protect the housewife and all citizens against fakirs and like, the members of the Anaheim Retail Merchants Protective Ass'n are working, as well as to protect themselves against unfair and illegitimate competition. Merchants, whether members of the association at this time, are invited to be present and participate in the discussions that will be of interest to them and to the citizens in general.

REFUGEES OF SEA FIRE ON TROOPSHIP Tugs Speed to Save Hull of Ill-Fated City of Honolulu LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13.—On a calm sea at dawn the passengers and crew of the ill-fated liner City of Honolulu, gutted by fire 670 miles from Los Angeles harbor, which was her destination, were trasferred today from the rescue ship, the shipping board freighter West Faralon, to the United States transport Thomas. They are now in perfect safety on their way to San Francisco, from which port they will be brought here.

PLAN GAMES FOR ALL IN ANAHEIM The next important step of Community Service in Anaheim was taken yesterday at a meeting called by Wm. T. Wallon president of Ana An inductal and enthusiastic meeting of the Richfield-Anaheim River Protection Committee was held at Anaheim C. of C. last night with Mr. G. F. Collins in the chair and C. R. Vesper as acting secretary. Messrs F. A. Yungbluth and H. F.

The Richfield committee has been in the field about a week with a petition indicating that they are out for funds for immediate work in the construction of their river frontage north of the Santa Fe orridge, which is the northerly terminus of the Anaheim embankment and planked piling now being completed under Contractor Hill for the local committee. The present plan of the Richfield committee is to drive square posts in the river bed and lay heavy cables from the bridges along a line thus made in order to draw the volume of the flood waters out into the river bed, thereby practically eliminating danger of infundation of lands north of Anaheim levy, which has been a point of danger also to certain very valuable portions of the Anaheim district. The committee has already made some headway in collections of funds, nearly $1000 in checks having been turned over to the Anaheim chamber for deposit in the First National Bank. The moneyys, as they come in, will be immediately checked out foramber and other necessary supplies in the hope that the more important part of the work can be concluded before the heavy winter rains set in. The Anaheim C. of C., at a recent board meeting, requested the secretary to offer the committee every co-operation at its command. Those meeting last night listened with interest to some advice on the proposed work by Contractor Hill. The new protection work will either be done by the lowest bidding contractor or by local affected residents under the supervision of a foreman to be selected by the committee. The next meeting will be held Thursday, Oct. 19, at the Anaheim C. of C. offices. 10 BANDS IN BIG ARMISTICE PARADE Ten Bands headed by one of the crack musical organizations of the Pacific Fleet will participate in the Orange-co Armistice Day celebration in Fullerton. These bands as one unit surrounding the vast colors of LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13.-On a calm sea at dawn the passengers and crew of the ill-fated liner City of Honolulu, gutted by fire 670 miles from Los Angeles harbor, which was her destination, were transferred today from the rescue ship, the shipping board treasurer West Faralon, to the United States transport Thomas. They are now in perfect safety on their way to San Francisco, from which port they will be brought here. The Thomas reached the vicinity of the City of Honolulu, a blazing hulk on the gently heaving waters shortly after 1 o'clock this morning. After receiving a message from the West Faralon that the passengers were resting comfortably, the big troopship waited until daybreak to make the transfer. Shortly after 8 o'clock it was reported by wireless that the transfer to the Thomas was complete. The West Faralon was planning to stand by the wreck until the arrival of coast guard cutters and sea-goining tugs en route from Los Angeles and San Francisco. It will then be determined whether what remains of the City of Honolulu will be towed to Honolulu by the freighter or towed to Los Angeles by the salvage tugs. Aboard the Thomas everything was in readiness to care for the passengers and crew. At 7:30 o'clock this morning radio messages announced that the work of transfer was well under way. Other messages stated that the City of Honolulu had been gutted beyond repair by the fire which forced her passengers and crew to lifeboats at 9 a.m. yesterday. The message stated that the flaming vessel may remain afloat. It will be two or three days before the burned ship can be approached because of the terrific heat. She was still smoking and blazing when the transfer of the rescued passengers and crew from the West Faralon to the Thomas was being made and the heat from her twisted steel beams was so intense that approach was dangerous. ASK CITIES HELP COUNTY HEALTH BD. Plans to seek municipal appropriations from the incorporated cities of the county to support the new county health system now are being considered by the board of supervisors, individual members of which or others will appear before the city councils in the very near future, according to Supervisor W. M. Schumacher, who was in Anaheim today. Schumacher said he would go before the Fullerton city council and probably Dr. Arthur H. Domann of Orange, county health officer, or his assistant, Dr. S. A. Marisden of Santa Ana, before the Anaheim city council. FOR ALL IN ANAHEIM The next important step of Community Service in Anaheim was taken yesterday at a meeting called by Wm. T.

GAMES ALL IN AHEIM GOLF CADDIE SUSPECT HELD IN COUNTY JAIL Everett Dennis, 18, a caddie of the Coronado Country Club, is in county jail today, suspected of being implicated in the $1500 robbery of jewels on Wednesday from Miss M. L. Fredericks. The latter was on her way to Los Angeles to identify him. The arrest of Dennis was brought about by the efforts of Paul Koswig, driver of the Model Laundry, who gave the boy a ride to Santa Ana from Oceanside. The boy mentioned his connection with a golf club, and Koswig called Deputy Sheriff Roy Ballard, who met the wagon and made the arrest. O'Rooke, a caddie companion of Dennis was held as an accomplice. The jewels were stolen from under the seat of Miss Fredericks' car, which she was accustomed to park near the clubhouse. The fact that she had a habit of putting the jewels under the car seat is believed to have come to the attention of the caddie who thereupon planned the robery.

The banquet and entertainment, followed by a dance, was held in the Santa Anita club house at the Arcadia balloon school, known as Ross field. Over 200 Kiwanians and their ladies were present. It was a happy affair throughout and especially to the Orange-co-clubs, for the units in this county presented the largest delegations. The baby club at La Habra had 28 presented. Anaheim had 25 and Santa Anna, 12. While Fullerton did not come up to its usual attendance at occasions of this kind, the burden of representation from that city resting on the shoulders of one or two members. The district governor made a most interesting address in presenting the charter and, referring to the activities of the Kiwanis clubs, pointed to Anaheim as a criterion. He declared that the efforts of the Anaheim club to build a wading pool for little children is along the line of the meaning of Kiwanis—building, not for today or tomorrow but for the future. The Foothills Quartet gave several selections, and a member of the Pasadena club, dressed as a Venetian woman, gave two solos and a short dance. At the conclusion of the program, a young woman gave the Dragon Fly dance on a float in the centre of the swimming pool directly opposite the banquet hall. The Anaheim delegation was allowed a few minutes in which to extend an invitation to Kiwanians of So. Calif., to attend the performance of Senior Peacan on Oct. 30 and 31, and throughout the evening, the city of Anaheim was given considerable attention through the medium of the Kiwanis club delegation. Those from this city in the delegation were Mr. and Mrs. A. B. McCord, Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Harden, Mr. and Mrs. M.

RICHFIELD-YORBA WELL IS PRODUCING TWO BOYS, ONE GIRL GLADDEN HOMES RICHFIELD-YORBA WELL IS PRODUCING With Oil Operators The big feature at Richfield was the completion and putting on production of the Richfield-Yorba Oil Co.'s well. This well was started with the boom at Richfield four years ago. A few months ago Neal Anderson, a prominent Richfield operator, took the well over on percentage basis of the production to complete. Anderson completed the well at 3460 and got a two hundred barrel producer. The Union's Chapman No.1 failed to come back when redrilled and cleaned out to bottom. This well finished at 3045 feet three years ago has produced close to two million barrels of oil. The famous well is now pumping about 50 barrels of oil, oil and water into the sump. The La-Habra Midway wildcat is taking on some of the symptoms of production. On drilling out the cement at 4334 ft² the water was found not to be shut off, but a heavy gas pressure that forced the water out of the baller is making the well look the best it has ever looked. The well has been re-cemented and will be ready for a test in about 10 days. BUYS SODA FOUNTAIN C. A. Gibson of the Gibbon Drug Store has purchased the soda fountain and candy booth in the store from Everett Watt, young soda dispenser.
