Coffman, 44, was found dead at her home, 210 Illinois-st., yesterday afternoon by her husband, well-known fumigator, when he returned from a business trip to Signal Hill. A glass which had contained cyanide stood on a table beside the bed where the body was found. Dr. J. W. Truxaw who was called stated that death apparently was due to drinking the poison with suicidal intent. Mr. Coffman left home at noon yesterday, leaving Mrs. Coffman with the three sons. When he returned at four the house was locked. He broke in and found death had pre-led him about an hour. He had been in ill-health for some time, suffering from acute nervousness and melancholy. Only the previous day Mr. Coffman had conferred with Dr. Truxaw about her condition. She had threatened on previous occasions to take her life. Altho Mr. Coffman uses cyanidia in his fumigating business none had been left about the house. Two weeks ago Mrs. Coffman had sent a young son to purchase some on the plea that a neighbor wanted it to do some cleaning. A report was current today that Mrs. Coffman had tried to poison her children with dates. The children, however, disliked the taste of the fruit and spat it out. Crystals were found on the outside of the dates, but how they were formed has not been ascertained. Coroner Charles D. Brown will arrive this afternoon and arrange for the inquest, when all the facts of the tragedy will appear. The funeral will not be held before the latter part of next week, it is probable, pending the arrival of relatives from the East. The body now lies at the undertaking rooms of Backs, Terry & Campbell. Late this morning it was ascertainned that sodium of cyanide was on the dates.

WARM FIGHT BREWS ON FAIR SITE Three or four members of the Board of Supervisors are absolutely opposed to the purchase of the old fair grounds on South Bristol street. Santa Ana, for a permanent fair grounds and recreation park, according to the understanding of Harry D. Riley, would not consent to an appropriation toward buying it. Four members must be in favor, to secure a selection. Supervisor N. T. Edwards of Orange already has voiced his opposition both to the site near the County Hospital, recommended by a general county committee of which Riley is a member, and also to the Santa Ana site. Riley said it was a mistake to suppose that because of the sand the site between Anaheim and Santa Ana was undesirable. Planted with Germuda grass, the site could be improved at small expense, he said. Anahiem, Fullerton and the north end of the county generally is likely to turn out strong at the Jan. 9 meeting of the Board of Supervisors, when the fight to obtain permanent grounds will be started. The directors of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce have voted to recommend to the directors of the Fair Association that they appoint a committee of jointly with the Orange County Farm Bureau in urging the Supervisors to select the Santa Ana site.

WOMAN ROBS 2 ANAHEIM HOUSES Four to five thousand Anaheimers, big and little, last night at city park joined in Anaheim's first community Christmas Tree celebration. Twenty-five hundred boys and girls received gifts. Upon the first of the important all-for-Anaheim affairs staged here under the auspices of the Community Service the city put its emphatic stamp of approval. The tree, a shimmering glittering of red and green, standing 23 feet out of the ground, was a spectacle which never will be forgotten here. From the opening choral, "Silent Night," until the last kiddy had gotten his bag of candy, walnuts, orange and apple, the program was a happy success. President J. F. Ahlborn of the Anaheim Community Service, the first speaker introduced by General Chairman T. L. DeCew who presided, said that the celebration was only the first of many activities of Community Service to be put on here. Ahlborn was himself amazed at the crowd which gathered. He called attention to the spirit of the Prince of Peace which the occasion exemplified. The Choral Society followed with two numbers, sung by the members: "Holy Night" and "Oh Come, All Ye Faithful." At this point in the program Aldine Dalay Huff danced, making one of the biggest hits of the entire affair. City Manager O. E. Steward, the next speaker, said that the park was the achievement of four elections, putting the seal of official confirmation on the plan. Steward said that the Board of Trustees had voted to plant a tree before the next Community Christmas tree celebration in the park as a permanent center of this annual event. With Steward were present Mayor William Stark and other councilmen. Anaheim Lodge of the Elks saved the day for the kiddies. In spite of the heroic efforts of the ladies, who provided practically 2,000 stockings and bags, the supply was found still too small and 250 bags left over from the California theater matinee besides a carton of popcorn were turned over to Community Service to be given away at thetree. Next year there will be a platform about the tree, Chairman DeCew told the crowd, in his speech. He said he found himself in the position of the Missouri farmer who had left his end board down. The load of potatoes he was carrying gradually rolled out into the gumbo, until he got to the top of the hill when he became stuck. He thought to himself he'd unload them, but looking back found he had nothing to unload. The number of people, particularly the ladies, who assisted in last night's affair it is impossible to mention. Miss Ruth Grimm, chairman of the committee on decorations, had one of the most prolonged and arduous pieces of work to do and did it. E. Mollica, who has a ranch outside the city of Orange, was arrested and 100 gallons of home brew seised last night in a raid led by City Marshal C. M. Jamison and O. K. Carr, county motorcycle officer.

Sheriff C. E. Jackson said today. At the other beaches the traffic is carried on mostly by means of peddling. Jackson said, and offenses were difficult to detect. "It is impossible to buy liquor now," said Jackson, "in Orange County." Places that have it for sale are keeping more closely under cover than ever before with the coming in of the Wright act. Asked about Anaheim, Jackson said the city wasn't dry either. In fact no incorporated city in the county is absolutely dry." SAYS MEGER PLANS TO LEAVE STATE G. Meger is accused by Anna Meger of preparing to leave the State and avoid support of a demented daughter in a complaint filed today with the County Clerk by Anna Meger.

The burglary occurred while the family was at the Christmas tree.

Instead of the 1000 expected there were fully 1500, all sizes and ages. The boxes of crackerjack gave out early and bags of candy were substituted, but this tasted just as good to the recipients. Among the guests were the boys from St. Catherine's school. The feature of the entertainment was Jackie Coogan in "Peek's Bad Boy", and the kiddies certainly enjoyed the picture. Buster Keaton, one of the screen's clevercat comedians, brought delight to the largest gathering of kiddies in Anaheim. H. H. Benjamin, chairman of the affair, deserves a great deal of credit as also does Joe Wagner, who had charge of Anaheim's part of the entertainment. At the Fullerton Rialto there was also an overflow and many children had to stand. Six reels of good comedy including one by Bull Montana and Mut and Jeff and a wild western picture, the kind that all the youngsters like were shown. A H. T. Osborne and George Deitrich had charge of the performance there. When it came to the distribution of cracker jack there was not enough and cherry flips were substituted. The same capacity crowds existed in Brea and Placentia where the show was presented at the Red Lantern and Placentia theatre. Comedy and western pictures and a number of short comedies made the entertainment go off big. The same gift, cracker jack, was distributed. Harry Ray had charge of the Brea show there, and Joe Farrell and Mr. Anderson at Placentia. H. S. ALUMNI WILL PLAY BASKETBALL Manager Pohlman of the Anaheim H. S. basketball squad has lined up a game with the alumni team for Thursday evening, Dec. 28, on the local gym court. Such players as "Susie" Shoebridge, Art Wilmsen and Fran Elliott can still don their basket ball togs and will give their opponents a run for the money. Anyway, it will be a good game and pat- With the full achievement of their plans for the immediate future assured, the founders of the Consolidated Ice and Cold Storage Co., a new Anaheim enterprise, took the Anaheim C. of C. somewhat into their confidence yesterday with a short statement as to the purposes of this organization which is destined soon to ad many families to Anaheim's ever increasing pay roll and population. It is a consolidation of the Fullerton Ice Co. and the Anaheim Mfg. Co., the latter being the successor to the old historic Anaheim Brewing Co. The new plant will be located in property of the Anaheim Mfg. Co., at West Anaheim and absorb both that company and the Fullerton Ice Co., of which C. S. Orton, R. R. Davis and W. R. Davis are the moving spirits and owners. The Fullerton Ice Co. will be operated at Fullerton at its present full capacity and doubles within a year or two will be expended. Perry R. Powell, owner and manager of the Anaheim Mfg. Co., in the sale of his property to the Consolidated Ice and Cold Storage Co., takes a large block of stock and an important post in the actual direction. Orton & Davis will conduct the managerial end of the corporation, which is capitalized at $150,000 in shares of $100 each. It is said on good authority that $125,000 of the total capital stock will be purchased by the above parties as soon as a permit for the sale is received from the commissioner of corporations. The remaining $25,000 will lie in the treasury for but a short time as most of this amount is already eagerly sought by local subscribers. The old brewery equipment does not come into the deal, but is being dismantled and disposed of by Mr. Powell. Yesterday, a permit was taken out at the city hall for $20,000 for improvements and alterations to the old brewery building. Over $25,000 worth of machinery and material, besides, have already been ordered with which to enlarge and equip the ice and Cold Storage Plant, which will be as complete, considering it as a unit under one roof, as can be found anywhere between Los Angeles and San Diego. The ice plant will have capacity for manufacturing of upwards of 30 tons daily and ice storage is to be provided for 1700 tons, so that all requirements of Northern Orange Co. can easily be supplied even during the warmest months when ice is needed. H. S. ALUMNI WILL PLAY BASKETBALL Manager Pohlman of the Anaheim H. S. basketball squad has lined up a game with the alumni team for Thursday evening, Dec. 28, on the local gym court. Such players as "Susie" Shoebridge, Art Wilmsen and Fran Elliott can still don their basket ball togs and will give their opponents a run for the money. Anyway, it will be a good game and patrons of the H. S. are invited to the affair. CONTINUE TRIPLETT CASE The case of the People vs. Triplett, for manslaughter, was continued today by Justice J. B. Cox until Jan. 25. Triplett is charged with killing Malcolm S. Arián of Los Angeles in a post room at Brea. Dale & Company have a new Chevrolet sedan. Never been driven, that has been traded in on a new Reco. See them for price. WHY IS THIS WRONG? Merry Christmas! Is this tree decorated as it should be? The answer will be found among today's want ads. (What "Blunder" do you suggest?) (Protected by Associated Editors) Over $25,000 worth of machinery and material, besides, have already been ordered with which to enlarge and equip the Ice and Cold Storage Plant, which will be as complete, considering it as a unit under one roof, as can be found anywhere between Los Angeles and San Diego. The ice plant will have capacity for manufacturing of upwards of 30 tons daily and ice storage is to be provided for 1700 tons, so that all requirements of Northern Orange Co. can easily be supplied even during the warmest months, when ice is in the highest demand. Heretofore, calls for ice in the district within a ten mile radius of Anaheim has been so great that Pomona and Los Angeles ice manufacturers have been requisitioned almost daily to furnish the necessary supply. This enterprise will keep all the financial volume used for ice in this district, in Anahim. As to cold storage requirements in Anaheim, it is stated at the Chamber of Commerce that to their knowledge nearly one hundred cars of fruit provisions and other perishables have gone to other storage points for distribution to points in this district since August, 1920 when the Chamber was founded. To meet these necessary requirements the Consolidated Ive & Cold Storage Co. is making available, 80,000 cubic feet of storage space, utilizing the beer cellars of the brewery for that purpose. These are admirably constructed and with proper insulation and piping will make the most ideal storage rooms in Orange county and as desirable in their line as anything in the state. To make room for the ice manufacturing unit, the western end of the old brewery building will be run from the present height, twenty-five feet; to forty-five feet. Both ice and storage prices will be on the Los Angeles scale. Improvements will be started immediately under permits for alterations and improvements and when these are completed to a proper point the machinery ordered will be promptly installed. Wm. LeVecke, who has been for some years a distributor for the Anaheim Mfg. Co., for supplying ice, will hold that contract under the new regime, doubling his carrying capacity and staff to meet the emergency. Stuff placed under cold storage will be distributed to all outlying points calling for extra additions to the payroll.
