Coast points were spared but the mountain regions were badly shaken. Loss of life is reported from several points but the extent of the death toll cannot as yet be determined. Coming as it does right on the Gangsters Battle In N. Y. City Street NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—A gun battle between two gangs brought hundreds to the street in a panic early today at Forty-seventh street and Broadway. Scores of shots were exchanged by the combatants, who raced about the vicinity in automobiles. The breaking of plate glass windows, mingling with the rattle of guns and roar of motors, awakened sleepers for blocks. Some one among the men and women who darted about in night clothes as the bullets hummed, put in a riot call. When the reserves arrived the bandits fled, taking with them any of their number that might have been wounded. Two men, alleged to be gangsters, were captured. ANAHEIM BIG HIT WITH REALTORS The new quakes were most violent in the central district, where buildings were thrown down and whole villages fled in panic to the open doors.

Coming as it does right on the heels of the earthquake of two weeks ago, the new shock has had the effect of heightening the terror of the natives and mountain dwellers. New relief expeditions are being organized and food and clothing are being rushed into the stirren districts. 22 REPORTED KILLED IN EARTHQUAKE IN JAPAN TOKIO, Japan, Dec. 11.

KICK ON "KICK" ANAHEIM BIG HIT WITH REALTORS Anaheim will be better-known than ever before, following the big luncheon at the Elks' Clubhouse, given by the local Realty Board to the delegates to the California Real Estate Ass'n convention. The clubhouse, the perfection of the arrangements to entertain the visitors and the hospitality shown were the talk of the big meeting in Santa Ana. Retiring President C. C. C. Tatum of Los Angeles said he never had seen anything like it. And President Freeman H. Bloodgood of the Santa Ana Board was equally well pleased, but not so surprised because he was more familiar with what Anaheim could do. With every opportunity for delay, confusion and inability to look after the overflow, the local board, thanks to Romaine C. Berger and others who made the arrangements and to John Wallop, looked after 100 to 150 more realtors and their ladies than had been planned for. And there wasn't the slightest hitch from start to finish. The orchestral music and dancing on the stage also made decided hits.

PHILLIE CHECK BLAZE IN COLONIAL APARTMENT What might have been a serious fire was confined to a closet in a lower front apartment of the Colonial apartments at Lemon and Chartressts early last evening. Much credit should go to Earl Ferris, J. Meyers and E. G. Russell for fighting the fire with the apartment house hose. However, it was not until the arrival of the fire department and Vic LaMont, owner of the building, that the real seat of the blaze was discovered. After repeated attempts to enter the smoke-filled apartment, LaMont, on his hands and knees, crawled to the closet and discovered the flames. Even then considerable difficulty was experienced because of electricity which was conducted from a live wire along the stream of water to the hose, knocking several firemen down. APPOINTEE TO NEWBERRY'S SEAT for fighting the fire with the apartment house hose. However, it was not until the arrival of the fire department and Vic LaMont, owner of the building, that the real seat of the blaze was discovered. After repeated attempts to enter the smoke-filled apartment, LaMont, on his hands and knees, crawled to the closet and discovered the flames. Even then considerable difficulty was experienced because of electricity which was conducted from a live wire along the stream of water to the hose, knocking several firemen down. The electricity cut off, the fire was soon extinguished. It is believed to have been started by an electric iron. The loss, principally due to smoke and water, is not estimated. Anaheim is getting into the big city class as far as fire alarms make it so. Since the fire truck has been moved to the temporary out of the way parking place at the power plant while the city hall is being completed, there have been repeated fire alarms. In the last 20 days there have been nine. However, it has not been necessary to turn off the water once with the fire truck engine. At last night's fire, the apartment house was sufficient. MUCH INTEREST IN NEW FORD SEDAN Much interest is being displayed in the new model four-door Ford sedan displayed in Anaheim for the first time at the George Dunton Garage. Altho deliveries are not promised for 60 days, several orders have already been placed. The four doors are wide with crank lifts for windows done light, interior fittings of oxidized silver, locks on all doors, body three inches longer and two inches lower than the two-door style. The body is aluminum and the job weighs 80 pounds less than the two-door style. The chassis is unchanged. The price is $388 here, compared with $702.80 for the two-door. Dunton can make deliveries now for Christmas presents on all models except runabouts and four-door sedans. He reports business brisk, taking orders for three coupes Saturday. ROB CIGAR STAND SATURDAY EVENING Wallace Scott who keeps a cigar stand just south of the Dunton garage on No. Los Angeles-st reported to the local police that his stand was entered Saturday night sometime after 11 o'clock and about 10,000 lucky strike cigarettes and about 10 boxes of cigars taken.

CONTESTS SETTLED IN THALES ESTATE Disposal of property valued at $50,000 to $60,000 was made possible with the final stop taken today in the settlement of the two suits affecting the Thales estate at Placement.

W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n. And there will be plenty of cars on both the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe. The northern belt had a light crop this year. It is still uncertain when the local organizations will resume packing and shipping. Bright warm days and cold nights are needed to color up the fruit satisfactorily—that is, extremes of temperature rapidly succeeding each other. SPECIALIST HILL GREAT SHOWING IN HALL-WEBBER WELL Owners of the Signal Hill Hall-Webber No. 1 well, most of whom reside in Anaheim elated today over the showing that is being made in the oil sand now being pierced. After the well stood cemented for some time, the drill was started again with the plan to put it as far into the deep sand as possible before it would be necessary to bring it in. The following is from the Long Beach Telegram: The "poke" well of Signal Hill, Hall Webber No. 1, which when started on the south slope east of Cherry avenue, was considered the biggest hazard in the local field, came into its own yesterday afternoon, when a richly saturated core was brot up from the $3745 foot level, but elicited surprise even from such "hardboiled" oil well drillers as "Highpookets" Richardson and Ed McAdams. When Hall Webber No. 1 was started by the Rogers and Edwards Drilling company four months ago the company was given the laugh for attempting to get production on that side of the hill. With yesterday's showing the well has 35 feet of good sand exposed, declared to be solid, unbroken formation of the richest kind yet found in any part of the field.
