WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. VOL. XXVI—NO. 108 NAB 2 L.A. BAY CITRUS TREE LARGEST IN STATE Seedling in Brunsworth Grove 45 Years; Six Feet Around Trunk G. W. Sandilands, manager of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Ass'n feels that inasmuch as various citrus rections are claiming to have the largest orange tree, it is only right that Anaheim should let it be known to the world that she also pays claim to that distinction. The tree in question is in the orange grove of J. H. Brunworth, located on the corner of East and East Center-sts. It is a seedling, and is about 45 years of age. It is 6 feet Find Bomb In Palace Ash Can LONDON, Dec. 10.—What may have been a plot to assassinate members of the British royal family was discovered today when a hand grenade was found in an ash cart that was being taken into Buckingham palace. The bomb was turned over to Scotland Yard for examination. Metropolitan police said they did not believe that a plot existed against the lives of King George and his family, but they were investigating fully. It was pointed out that even if anyone had designs against the lives of the royal family they would be unlikely to be successful by lodging a bomb in an ash cart, which would not get past the kitchen. FULLERTON VOTES ON Feet Around Trunk G. W. Sandilands, manager of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Ass'n feels that inasmuch as various citrus sections are claiming to have the largest orange tree, it is only right that Anaheim should let it be known to the world that she also says claim to that distinction. The tree in question is in the orange grove of J. H. Brunworth, located on the corner of East and East Center-sts. It is a seedling, and is about 45 years of age. It is 6 feet 2 inches around the trunk a foot from the ground. It is 30 feet from one side of the foliage line through the tree to the other side and is 30 feet high. At least 12 feet have been cut from the top during recent years to allow its being fumigated. "If there is any orange tree anywhere in California that can beat this we would like to know where it is. In the meantime we claim this is the largest orange tree in the state," said Sandilands. As this is liable to cause a rush on the Brunworth place to view the monster, Sandilands suggests that Brunworth place a fence around it and charge admission. A picture of this noble tree should be taken and exhibited in the rooms of our local Chamber of Commerce, Sandilands said. MISS KURLEN DEPUTY SHERIFF IN OFFICE Miss Cora Kurlen today was appointed office deputy by Sheriff-elect Sam Jernick, to succeed Mrs. B. A. Swanwick, who said she would decline re-appointment. Miss Kurion at present is in the office of a prominent Santa Ana attorney. SPIRIT OF ROTARY LIKENED TO XMAS The Rotary Club had its Christmas program yesterday, with musical selections and a speech by Dr. John W. Truxaw, one of the chairmen of the day. William A. Dolan, the other chairman, arranged the program. The club will not meet next Monday or the Monday after, both being legal holidays, President Harry D. Riley announced today. Miss Geraldine Dolan played piano selections, acted as accompanist and joined in a trio, "Jingle Bells;" and Mrs. Ray Fisher and Miss Mildred Carter sang solos and a duet. Dr. Truxaw compared the Rotary spirit of service and sympathy with that of Christmas and said that Rotarians observed the entire year instead of one day in such a manner. The spirit of Rotary was to brighten the world, encourage people, improve the common lot. Everybody after all was in the same boat and they should help each other, he declared. FULLERTON VOTES ON OUTFALL Fullerton's participation in the outfall sewer with Santa Ana, Anaheim and Orange was assured yesterday as the result of a bond election. Fullerton voted overwhelmingly for the bonds, the issue carrying by a majority of more than 18 to 1. The vote was light, there being only about 525 votes cast of these, only 28 were against the proposition. The bonds amounted to $250,000, being divided into two sections which were voted upon separately. REPORT TO POLICE SEVERAL CRASHES An accident was reported to police from Lemon-st and West Broadway in which a car driven by Clifford Elger, son of Rev. F. W. Elger of 221 West Broadway, was struck by a Ford touring car. Both cars were damaged. No one was reported injured. W. E. Case of Anaheim reported to police that he swerved to avoid hitting a boy on a bicycle and struck a Stephens car belonging to John Gilmore of Anaheim, which was parked by the curb. Both cars were damaged. H. Raden of Anaheim Cut-rate store reports an accident on the Los Angeles-Whittier boulevard yesterday in which his truck skidded and struck a Buick driven by George Kennedy of the Whittier News, both cars being damaged, his truck to a much greater extent than the Buick.

The accident occurred when he applied the brakes to stop to let the Buick pass a truck standing by the highway, and his truck skidded on the wet pavement, turned all the way around and run into the Buick.

BANK HOLDUP BLDG. ASSN. DOUBLE S CAPITAL Directors Vote Last Night To Increase Stock To Two Millions Renewing its confidence in the future of Anaheim district, the stockholders of the Savings, Loan and Building Ass'n of Anaheim met last night at the offices of the company in the new Kraemer building and voted to increase the capital stock from one million to two million dollars, divided into 200,000 shares of $100.00 par value. Founded in 1889 with a capital stock of $500,000 divided into shares of $100 each, this company's record MONEY BAGS FOUND IN MOTOR Unable To Give Account Of Actions Last 24 Hours LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19. — Two men were arrested today in Long Beach as suspects in the sensational holdups yesterday of two Los Angeles banks. The police said they found in the automobile of the men a cashier's black money sack, a 30-30 Winchester, a 12-gauge shotgun, four revolvers and two masks. The men gave the names of Parmine Clocca and Gordon W. Paterson. Clocca lives at 1133 Atlan- Two Millions Renewing its confidence in the future of Anaheim district, the stockholders of the Savings Loan and Building Ass'n of Anaheim met last night at the offices of the company in the new kraemer building and voted to increase the capital stock from one million to two million dollars, divided into 200,000 shares of $100.00 par value. Founded in 1889 with a capital stock of $500,000 divided into shares of $100 each, this company's record has been one of continuous growth and admirable financial integrity. Its record has ever been one of progress. After 31 years it was found necessary to increase the capital stock to $1,000,000 which was done in 1920. So great has been the growth of this association during the past two years that a doubling of capital was necessary, representing an equal record to that shown during the past 31 years. This, according to the officers of the company, speaks most satisfactorily, not only of the stability of this district, but also of the great confidence which has always been shown in the management of the company's affairs. The company has been instrumental during the past three years in the assisting and building of 260 homes and with the augmented capital voted last night, its possibilities in the near future should easily result in greatly increasing that performance. The officers of the company, among whom are highly representative business men of this city, have devoted their time free of charge to its welfare. The Secretary, Fred A. Backs, who recently found it necessary to devote his entire attention to the company's concerns, is the only salaried official. During the entire career of this company it has never sustained a single loss through default of a client, a record which good authorities state sets it in a class by itself. ANAHEIM NOW HAS WOMAN CARPENTER Anaheim has another claim for fame in a woman carpenter. She is Mrs. Anna Van Leer and she isn't merely a saw and hammer wood butcher either. She is just now completing a 14x24 foot house at the rear of her residence, 411 E. Cypress-st. The building includes two living rooms and a sleeping porch. Aside from assistance in hoisting the studding, she has done practically at the work, including some very attractive interior finishing. She would have no trouble in getting a building job from those who had the privilege of inspecting her work. Hours LOS ANGELES, Dec. 19. — Two men were arrested today in Long Beach as suspects in the sensational holdups yesterday of two Los Angeles banks. The police said they found in the automobile of the men a cashier's black money sack, a 30-30 Winchester, a 12-gauge shotgun, four revolvers and two masks. The men gave the names of Parmine Clocca and Gordon W. Patterson. Clocca lives at 1133 Atlantic avenue, while Patterson has a room at 37 South Neptune street. The police searched the rooms, but were unable to find anything to link them with the daring holdups of the two banks. The two men were unable, the police said, to give a satisfactory account of their actions for the past 12 hours and were held pending further investigation. While the Long Beach police were questioning the suspects, members of the Los Angeles police and sheriff's office were working on a tip that the robberies were staged by members of a nation-wide gang of bandits, and were searching the underworld for trace of the men. At the same time, authorities sent warnings to all banks and business houses having large payrolls to be on their guard. In addition to the arrests at Long Beach, deputy sheriffs' were in possession of a slender clew in connection with the robbery of the Walnut Park bank, in which three men took $2500 from W. P. Wood, teller, and Henry D. Hagge, assistant cashier. The stockholders of the bank were seated in an adjoining room, holding a meet, while the robbery was being staged. The bandits fled in an automobile. The unsuspected operations of a nation-wide gang of bank bandits led to the theory that the two men arrested at Long Beach might in some way be connected with the lone bandit who walked into the Western state bank, 635 South Western avenue, and robbed the place of $1000. COMFORT STATION WILL COST $25,000 Ed Manning of Huntington Beach, with the lowest bid submitted, appeared to have the best chance of being awarded the contract for the new comfort station at Orange-coork. to cost approximately $25,000. Several Anaheimers submitted bids. The Board of Supervisors took the bids under advisement. Manning qualified his bid by specifying the use of Nelson fixtures and in one or two other respects, so that it is not certain his bid will be accepted. The board also is disposed to cut the cost, originally set at approximately $30,000. Frank K. Benchely of Fullerton is an abandoned cabin two miles away, and a searching party is battling snow 20 feet deep to reach him. The Christmas rush is on at the Anaheim postoffice.

The force again worked until midnight, getting out 120 sacks of mail yesterday. Not only is the Xmas package mail heavier than ever before, but the regular letter mail is making new records. In the seek ending yesterday, the meter on the automatic stamp cancelling machine showed 46,000 pieces of mail had passed thru the machine. This machine is confined to regular sized envelopes and postcards, bulky envelopes, circulars and packages being stamped by hand. Mayor Wm. Stark, who that he'd boat the rush and get his Xmas mail off before the lines formed shortly after 8 a.m., gave it up. "I guess we'll have to have a larger postoffice," said the mayor...

He was fined $10 by Judge Brown. SARAH BERNHARDT SUFFERS COLLAPSE PARIS, Dec. 19.—Mme. Sarah Bernhardt, the most famous actress in the world, has suffered a complete collapse and has been compelled to give up the stage forever.

As retiring secretary, Hargrove was given a pair of nickeled bumpers for a new sedan he is driving. The meeting held at C. of C. offices was a very interesting affair into which the realtors entered with enthusiasm, particularly a surprise banquet served by wives of members. Mrs. Hargrove and Mrs. H. E. Scott had been requested by President to arrange for dinner, presumably at the Elks club. Instead, they went ahead and arranged with other realtors' wives for a delicious home-cooked spread that the realtors were still talking about today. This included fruit cocktail, combination salad, creamed chicken on hot biscuit, diced beets, candied sweet potatoes, apple pie, three big home-made cakes, ice-cream, coffee, olives, celery, etc. In the center of the long table was a pretty decorated Christmas tree, illuminated with electric bulbs, and at each plate was a stocking well-filled with candy and other favors.
