The injured were rushed to the Fullerton hospital for surgical attention. Segan went home after examination and a dislocated had been set. Frick was found to have an abrasion on the face, and it is feared he suffered concussion of the brain. He remains in the Fullerton hospital in a semi-unconscious state. MAY CONSOLIDATE CITY'S CHARITIES At a meeting of C. of C. directors yesterday many matters which have accumulated the last week were considered. The board will not meet again until Jan. 5th on account of the demands on the time of directors during the holidays. Those requiring conference with the board can be heard at a special meeting, if the importance of the business justifies. A resolution, presented by Mr. Ahlborn, favoring the consolidation of sundry charities and demands on all committees, was unanimously adopted. Following is the resolution: "WHEREAS: Many demands are being made annually upon corporations, merchants, professional men and public spirited citizens of our community, for charity and other worthy causes, and, WHEREAS: Much duplication and unnecessary work is engaged, causing not only embarrassment to those who are called upon to solicit, but also to those solicited, and WHEREAS: This practice is not only unwise but also impractical and many causes worthy of support receive but meager assistance whereas others of far less importance drain our purses, be it therefore. RESOLVED: That this Chamber of Commerce call a meeting of representatives of all civic bodies, clubs, merchants association, corporations and organizations at an early date, not later than January 1923, for the purpose of considering plans and devising means and ways of raising an annual budget with which to meet all charitable and worthy causes in a manner which is effective, economical and commensurate with the causes presented." ORANGE MAN LEFT MANY UNPAID BILLS 6 OPERATORS ADDED TO EXCHANGE Increasing the number of its "positions" 66 2-3 per cent, the Anaheim phone exchange is preparing to put six more operators to work, three local and three toll. The boost in facilities is to look after a growth which is already here, said Manager E. A. Beard today, not one that is coming. During the year the number of daily calls has jumped from approximately 6000 to more than 11,000. In the first 15 days of December there was a net gain of 17 stations, compared with 15 in all November. The reason is that the exchange, with its added cable facilities, is able to fill orders, said Beard. Twenty-two unfilled orders remain to be filled. There is every indication that Anaheim's net gain for the year will be more than 20 per cent, leading every other exchange in Group 5 of 1000 to 2500 stations. With the exceptions of Burbank, Paso Robles and Culver City, Anaheim stands first in gain in the entire system of the Pac. Tel. & Tel. Co., which covers the Pacific slope. ELIMATE S. A. IN SUIT FOR DAMAGES In the second amended complaint filed today by Winifred Roberts and W. Lionel Roberts, the city of Santa Ana is omitted from liability in the $50,000 suit of the two against the city Mayor John G. Mitchell, John W. Tubbs and W. S. Jeffrys. The action was brought for false arreal of the woman, she charges, was held for four hours "without probable cause and against the will of said plaintiff, and said defendants, and each of them, by intimidation and coercion compelled plaintiff, Winifred Roberts, to plead guilty to a false charge." The charge was made by Jeffrys and Mrs. Roberts paid a fine of $50. At that time last summer she resided in Balboa. The police court set aside the illegal judgment against her. She asks $431.50 special damages and $25,000 damages and another $25,000 exemplary damages against... ORANGE MAN LEFT MANY UNPAID BILLS In point of money loss the $315 misappropriated by Lester C. Crowl of Carriker & Crowl, Orange sports goods dealers, will not compare with losses due to bills left unpaid by Crowl, it was learned today. An unpaid telephone bill of approximately $100 for toll calls is an instance. The $315 lost by an bank bank, however, was the basis of the warrant issued by District Attorney A. P. Nelson yesterday after local bank officials had sworn out a complaint. Crowl fled several months ago, but the real hunt for him did not start until yesterday. Crowl was well-known in the county, where he served repeatedly as special officer under Sheriff C. K. Jackson. His firm had one of the large sporting goods stores in the county. A report that Crowl had fled to South America will be investigated. BUILDING PERMITS O. T. Callor, two frame sleeping rooms at 122 W. Cypress-st, cost $630. G. C. Potter, frame garage no.

The ball park is right in Wilmington and Anaheim fans who accompany the team will have no difficulty in finding it. Fans, hungry for baseball, are hoping the inclement weather is over with. Manager Knott expects to have the regular local lineup on the field, with Hughes or Salveson in the box. RECORDER MOVING TO KRAEMER-BLDG G. B.

FIGHT CROWD DONATES TO XMAS TREE A ripple of excitement and amusement was caused last evening at the Anaheim Athletic club arena when WARSAW, Dec. 16.—President Gabriele Narutowicz of the republic of Poland was assassinated today. He was elected one week ago today, being the first president of the republic. President Narutowicz was shot to death at the opening of an art exhibition. Three shots were fired, all entering the president's body. Death was instantaneous. The assassin was arrested on the scene. He said his name was Tiedwacinski, and that he was an artist. He said he had been inspired to kill the president because he "believed it best." News of the assassination caused a tremendous stir throughout this city and clashes were threatened between various political factions. Narutowicz formerly was minister of foreign affairs. He succeeded Marshal Gilsudski as president. He was a strong radical. Before becoming chief executive of the state he was Poland's representative at a number of important international conferences, including the Baltic disarmament conference, the parley between Poland and the little entente and the Genora meeting of allied statesmen. GRAVEL NINE MILES OF ROAD NEAR G. G. Nine miles of grading and graveling in the Newhope district south of Garden Grove will be started by the contractor, B. R.

FIFTH OF AN INCH RAIN IN 24 HOURS FIGHT CROWD DONATES TO XMAS TREE A ripple of excitement and amusement was caused last evening at the Anaheim Athletic club arena when Manager Billie Darnley called T. L. De Cew, of the Lexington agency, into the ring and introduced him as the "man who wands to meet the winner of the next battle." After the applause had subsided, Mr. DeCew hastily assured the audience that Mr. Darnley was mistaken—that he did not want to meet the winner; he did not even want to meet the loser. However, his hat was in the ring to catch any contributions which the crowd wished to make to the Community Christmas tree fund. His appeal met with hearty response,$27.87 being realized, besides a 5 centavos piece. FLEE BURNING COACH IN SANTA FE WRECK LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16.—Scores of residents of Los Angeles and visitors here who were returning to their eastern homes were imperiled today when an eastbound train on the Santa Fe was wrecked as it was nearing Chicago. The limited crashed into a freight train, according to a Chicago dispatch. Four persons were reported injured.

A vote of thanks was extended Mrs. J. W. Price for the excellent manner in which she led the Roll Call. Mrs. Henry Adams was named head of a committee to make night-caps for the soldier boys stationed at Whipple Barracks, Presvott, Arizona. DENY U. S. TAKES SIDES IN MUDDLE WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—In the face of widespread indications, both here and abroad, that the American government is taking a renewed interest in smoothing out the European situation, specific and emphatic denial was made today that the administration had arrived at any "program" or is considering any definite "plan" for the adjustment of complicated international problems. FIFTH OF AN INCH RAIN IN 24 HOURS One-fifth of an inch,.20, was added to the seasonal total herp in the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock, according to the gauge of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Association.

K. liner Chicago Maru had narrow escapes from death today when a fire broke out in the hold of the vessel as she lay tied up in the outer harbor at San Pedro. The blaze was put under control at 5 o'clock this morning after the entire San Pedro fire department, alded by a fire-boat, had fought it for five hours. The damage today was fixed at approximately $10,000. The fire was discovered in hold No. 4, shortly after midnight by W.C. Crume, a night watchman. The hold was filled with baled cotton and so fiercely was it burning that it burst open the hatches. GIBBS LUMBER CO.

Miss Margaret Pouplier, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Pouplier, of Anaheim, who accompanied them, will remain a year longer in Eisenach where she is attending a high-class finishing school. "Conditions are desperate in Germany," says Mr. Woelfel. "When we arrived there, Jan. 25, marks were 195 for a dollar. When we left in November they were 8000 for a dollar and a few days before were 10,000. As a result, there is widest unrest. It will be impossible for things to improve under the present government. What the country needs is another Bismarck, a man with an iron-hand. I was told by high officials shortly before I left that a revolution was expected not later than February. "I would like to disabuse anyone of the opinion that they can go to Germany with a few dollars and live in ease. A German, known as such, who has the money, can get along all right. But a foreigner or a German-American will find prices boosted to the sky. Because Mrs. Woelfel and myself speak the German language with the accent we were nearly always able to pass ourselves as Germans and get the advantage of prices made to countrymen. Occasionally we were not successful. "To give an idea of how prices are boosted to the outsider, when a German could buy a theater ticket for 60 marks, the price made the foreigner was 3000 marks. A representative of the tStandard Oil Co. showed me a bill for a room two nights at not the best hotel in Hamberg and for coffee and rolls for breakfast. The bill totalled more than 100,000 marks, which was equivalent to $9 per day in American money. When the Standard Oil representative protested to the hotel management that the hotel employees were not being paid in American money he was reminded that it was none of his business. I could relate numerous instances of this kind. "Despite the fact we were able to pass ourselves usually as countrymen and lived modestly in private lodgings most of the places we visited our expenses totalled several thousand dollars. I feel the German people are making a big mistake in this over-charging of aliens, of whom there were about one million in Berlin this summer and who spent a great deal of money. "On the steamer coming home, I talked to a great many German Americans who stated they would not return to Germany. The customs officials stated this was the general feeling of returning travelers and gave the opinion that there would be few tourists to Germany next year. "The laboring class with high wages is now in the saddle and the salaried official and others with fixed incomes are in very uncomfortable circumstances with shoes at 25,000 marks, suit of clothes 50,000 to 60,000." CHAS. Howell of Placentia was congratulating himself today over his narrow escape from drowning yesterday when a coupe upset in a deep drainage ditch full of water between Huntington Beach and Garden Grove. Howell, with D. E. and F. G. Hollingshead, brothers, of Placentia, were returning from the bench in the rain. The car suddenly skidded and toppled over, bottom-side up, in the canal beside the road. The Hollingshears quickly got out but Howell, immersed in the water, had considerable difficulty, finally crawling curu a window. MOOSE PLAN DANCE AFTER LODGE MON. The Loyal Order of the Moose is planning a dance for members and invited guests at the L. O. O. F. Hall Monday night following the regular meeting of the lodge. There is to be special music. A luncheon is also to be served. to a woman 30 wears his senior; he is a 'dead one' with Germans. Mr. and Mrs. Woelfel marvel at the improvements in Anaheim in their absence. "Center-st is better lighted than Unter den Linden, the principal street of Berlin, and Ander Alster, main boulevard of Hamburg," said Mr. Woelfel. "We especially marvel at the wonderful clubhouse of the Concordia Society. We saw nothing to compare with it in all our travels." They made the trip over on the American Line steamer Mongolia and back on the Manchuria of the same line. On the return they saw the unusual spectacle of a huge but beautiful iceberg Newfoundland. This had been noted plainly while still several miles away, in the day time. Had it been at night there might have been a serious disaster aloft its presence was indicated by ice, cold atmosphere. "The service was excellent on the American Line ships." On going into Germany our trunks were riffled between Hamburg and Germany and several hundreds of dollars in jewelry and clothing stolen. The insurance company with which we had protected ourselves in Los Angeles treated us very nicely, but we could get little satisfaction from the Courtroom.

Few people can afford meat. In fact, potatoes form the main menu. For the first time in my life I saw people starving. The rich can afford to buy eatables but it is absolutely impossible for the poor man to get enough to eat. Many people lie in bed thruout the day to keep warm because they can't afford to buy fuel. The feeling against the French is the bitterest and any chance of getting revenge would be welcomed. There is general talk that Germany, Russia and Turkey will be alligned in a great war with the French and allies. Announcement that the Krups are now manufacturing munitions in Russia is halled with delight by many Germans. As the result of the constantly rising mark, merchants are not anxious to trade with a customer, knowing that on the morrow the price will be higher. There is strong opposition to the foreigner who takes advantage of the low mark to take out merchandise. I bot an overcoat for the equivalent of $5.75 in dollars which would cost $80 here. I observed one man attempt to get past the German customs officers with seven silk-lined overcoats which he had purchased for a few American dollars. He was detected and they were taken away from him. If he could get by with this it would prove profitable for him to travel back and forth across the Atlantic with no larger consignments. I bot a fine three-bladed pearl handled knife which would cost about $3 here or 40c and a fine leather cigar case for 25 cents which would cost several dollars here. There is, of course, a $100 limit to what can be brot into the United States in this way. There is less frequent mention of the Kalser in Germany now than in this country.

On going into Germany our trunks were riffled between Hamburg and Germany and several hundreds of dollars in jewelry and clothing stolen. The insurance company with which we had protected ourselves in Los Angeles treated us very nicely, but we could get little satisfaction from the German police authorities because of the great amount of crime now rampant as an after-war effect, largely due to the enormous prices for foodd. In the police inspector's office in Berlin for several hours I sat and watched officers take down reports of crime as rapidly as they could write. Prohibition is rapidly coming into effect in Germany; not by law but because the people no longer can afford to drink.
