Linartz, of the Ever Ready Truck and Transfer Co., is a member, met in Los Angeles last evening around the banquet table. Arthur Sullivan, president of the county organization, and M. C.

The aim of the truckowners is to create public sentiment in their favor by adhering strictly to laws which, while allowing them a profitable business, will not destroy the highways by overloads or careless driving. It is the purpose of the state association to establish a school for training all drivers in road laws, and when unjustly accused, to defend, or to assist in punishment of violators. The trucking business is a recognized method of transportation and through uniformity and efficiency the association plants to build an enviable future.

NO OBSTACLE TO SMALL CITIES There is no practical obstacle to La Habra, Placentia and Garden Groce using the joint outfall sewer of Anaheim, Santa Ana and Fullerton if they can obtain the consent of the three cities to a temporary lease and can make mutually satisfactory arrangements today, stated City Manager O. E. Steward. The three former communities, however, would not be associated with the three cities on the same terms as Orange, for example, which while it may have to lease the Anaheim and joint outfall sewer, will ultimately after selling its bond issue share with the other three cities in the joint ownership; La Habra, Placentia and Garden Groce or any one of them would of course be obliged also to make arrangements with Fullerton or Anaheim as the case might be to use its connective sewer, also. Both the outfall sewer and the connecting sewers will have to be made large enough to accommodate sewage years hence, and meanwhile their capacity are expected to be large enough to allow for the smaller neighboring communities.

They were greatly pleased with the progress of the improvement—and—the manner in which it was carried out. Rotarians and Lions of the new club here were among those present. The party left the city in their cars at about 11:45 and did not get back until about two hours later. The inspection followed immediately after the barbecue. One of the members present said that the work of driving the piles had been practically three fourths completed and that of nailing on the planking to a point within a quarter of a mile of the piles. Both piles and planks have been crooseted to prevent their rotting by exposure to the water. The heavy wire designed to hold in place the rubbish that will be placed between the top of the levee and the plank wall already is practically in place, as far as the work as a whole has progressed. The impression given of the levee is that of great durability.

ALER GE COUNTY BUILDING PERMITS TELL STORY ON ANAHEIM'S GROWTH Year 1921 ... $1,254,375 No. of Permits ... 862 Year of 1920 ... 879,980 No. of Permits ... 504 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR D IN CRASH SHOT-GUN SQUAD SEEKS L.A. JAIL BREAKERS HERE An auto carrying a shotgun squad created a lot of excitement today, when it came tearing down South Los Angeles street, screaming warning to everything in its path. The car was going at the rate of 50 or 60 miles an hour and was pursuing Herbert Wilson, 38—Millionaire mail robber and murderer—who with two others broke out of the Los Angeles county jail, carrying all or most of the keys with them. The trio effected their release at the pistol point at about 6:45 a.m. and drove away in a Ford. Elmer Condon a guard was struck on the nose and shot in the hand. One report which reached the Los Angeles sheriff's office was that Wilson was headed thru Orange county, and the pursuit thru Anaheim to Santa Ana The trio effected their release at the pistol point at about 6:45 a.m. and drove away in a Ford. Elmer Condon a guard was struck on the nose and shot in the hand. One report which reached the Los Angeles sheriff's office was that Wilson was headed thru Orange county, and the pursuit thru Anaheim to Santa Ana followed. In Santa Ana the pursuers heard that Wilson was near San Bernardo and the chase was abandoned. Similar shotgun squads have been scouring the roads in many parts of So. Calif., in search of the men. Grido Spingola 23, an Italian and Adam Ward, 23, were the others in the successful plot to escape, but the name of the other man was not learned here. Each of the men had a gun and was prepared to use it, if necessary. Whether the party separated after leaving the jail is not known, but it is understood most of them stuck together, aiming to reach Mexico. Felix Fries, Anaheim boy radio enthusiast, has given the local police descriptions of the jail-breakers, and other late information concerning the pursuit from news received over wireless. The men escaped through the front door of the jail after taking the keys from the guard they knocked out. Near the postoffice at New High and Temple streets, a block from the jail, the stopped a post-office employee coming to work in his automobile and forced him to drive them away. Henry E. Purrier and Elmer Condon, jail guards, fought with Wilson and the two men who escaped with him. Wilson fired one shot at Condon but the bullet went wild. A wholesale jail delivery was narrowly averted. Wilson took the keys to the front doors with him and left the doors open. At least 35 men surged out from one of the jail tanks after Wilson and Spingola escaped, but they were forced back by a guard armed with a sawed-off shotgun. Other guards stood with guns at the front door of the jail. CLOUD OF $5 BILLS BLOWN IN STREET AUBURN, Ill., Oct. 17.—A cloud of five dollar bills swept through the streets here on a strong wind after a railroad train destroyed a mail sack containing $20,000. All but $2000 of the $5000 scattered in the accident was reported recovered today. The money was in a small sack suspended from a mail crane. When the device failed to work the sack was ripped to shreds. Fifteen thousand dollars in one package remained intact. More than 60 Anaheim merchants, including many new members, assembled around the banquet table at the Elks clubhouse Monday night and discussed the proposed license tax ordinance in its various phases. As the evening wore on, it was very plainly demonstrated that the Anaheim merchants are not afraid of outside competition in any form, but believe the illegitimate class of competition should be dealt with strenuously. "We are not going to try to build a Chinese wall around Anaheim," said one prominent merchant, "but we are heartily in favor of an intensive campaign of publiety to urge the people to trade at home, where they can see what they are buying, where they can take it home with them after buying it and where they can return the goods if they are not what they want. The Anaheim man or woman who buys in Los Angeles has closed the deal on leaving store in Los Angeles. If Anaheim people trade in Anaheim, they can return the goods, if they are not satisfied, or exchange them. That cannot be done satisfactorily where the goods are bought in Los Angeles, without the loss of much time and energy, and at no little expense." It was the opinion of all the merchants present last night that the campaign of education, the matter of trading in Anaheim, will, with the few changes in the license tax ordinance, bring about a better trading condition in this city, and bring into Anaheim dozens upon dozens of shoppers from the country sections surrounding Anaheim. The matter of credits was discussed but it was decided to go into that phase of business at a meeting of the merchants who do a credit business. The matter of cashings checks for strangers was also given much attention, and in future, it will be very difficult for anyone who can not be identified, to secure funds on a check. Local people known to the merchants will have no trouble, but strangers must positively be identified. MRS. PEED PASSES BLOWN IN STREET AUBURN, Ill., Oct. 17.—A cloud of five dollar bills swept through the streets here on a strong wind after a railroad train destroyed a mail sack containing $20,000. All but $2000 of the $5000 scattered in the accident was reported recovered today. The money was in a small sack suspended from a mail crane. When the device failed to work the sack was ripped to shreds. Fifteen thousand dollars in one package remained intact. BABE LEFT ON BED FALLS; BREAKS NECK HONEYGROVE, Tex., Oct. 17.—Finding it necessary to go to the fields for a few hours, Mrs. Ollie Contrell, a young married woman, sang her four-months-old baby to sleep and left him happily dreaming on the bed. When she returned, accompanied by her husband, they found the little one had fallen from the bed and broken its neck.

The matter of credits was discussed but it was decided to go into that phase of business at a meeting of the merchants who do a credit business. The matter of cashings checks for strangers was also given much attention, and in future, it will be very difficult for anyone who can not be identified, to secure funds on a check. Local people known to the merchants will have no trouble, but strangers must positively be identified. MRS. PEED PASSES AWAY MONDAY EVE Mrs. O. H. Peed, 79, passed away at her home, 116 Vine-st, at 8:30 p.m., Monday. Death was due to gall stones which had occasioned five other severe attacks this year.
