XXVI—NO. 126 BIG PREMIUM FOR CITY'S BONDS Bond Buyers Compliment Anaheim on City's Financial Stability Anaheim council last night sold its latest bond issue of $165,000 to the National City Co. of Calif., for a premium of $8,373.75. Other bids were: City National bank of Los Angeles, $7,317.16; R. H. Moulton & Co., $6,707; Wm. R. Staats Co., $7,538; Harris Trust & Savings, $4,505. Representatives of the bidding bond buyers stated Anaheim might well be proud of the big premium while many other cities were selling their bonds at par. The bonds bear five per cent interest and are divided: park improvement $100,000, city hall completion, $40,000 and street paving $25,000. The buyers last night were also highest bidders of the last previous issue. Thee was only one bid on 3000 barrels of oil for street purposes. It was from Crescent Refining & Oil Co. at $1.30 per 42-gallon barrel of 70 to 78 per cent asphaltum. In view of a report that crude oil Mother of Hi School Teacher Deceases Mrs. Alice M. Duckett passed away last evening at the home 114 Janss st, where she had resided with her two daughters, the Misses Clarisse E. and Mabel Duckett. The body accompanied by both daughters will be taken tonight on the Owl to Oakland for services which will occur tomorrow afternoon. Mrs. Duckett, the widow of Charles S. Duckett, is survived by a son, Dr. Harry C. Duckett of Stockton and the two daughters here. She was a native of Montreal, Canada, born August 16, 1857. She had resided in California for 54 years, and in Anaheim, where Miss Clarisse Duckett was Spanish teacher in the high school, for two and one-half years. She had been an invalid during seven or eight years and was lovingly attended by the other daughter. COAST LINK HERE WILL BE BUILT The coast highway link between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach will not be endangered even if able to have his he wants and horton of the exchange. The bonds bear five per cent interest and are divided: park improvement $100,000, city hall completion, $40,000 and street paving $25,000. The buyers last night were also highest bidders of the last previous issue. Thee was only one bid on 3000 barrels of oil for street purposes. It was from Crescent Refining & Oil Co. at $1.20 per 42-gallon barrel of 70 to 78 per cent asphaltum. In view of a report that crude oil dropped yesterday, council laid the bid over for two weeks and may call for new bids. The city has been paying $1.40 recently. Councilman F. N. Gibbs suggested the report that the county was buying Richfield oil be investigated. Council voted to return from the recent sale of liberty bonds $500 to the drinking fountain fund and $219 to the 1914 fire apparatus bond fund. Council formally approved bond and plat for the new ten-acre subdivision of W. B. Allen on No. Palm-street. Informal approval was given preliminary plans of W. M. Wellman for subdivision into 14 lots of that part of his valencia grove fronting Center street near Placentia avenue. Approval was given the California Square Subdivision of the Kammrath and Conrad subdivision south of Water-st between Palm and Lemonsts. The ordinance calling an election on the northwest extension of the city limits was read the second time and adopted. Council filed a letter from B. H. Sidam protesting the request of owners of the Anaheim Brewery property to close Santa Ana-st. Sidam stated the street was being used and its closing would depreciate the value of his property whenever he wished to subdivide. A petition bearing 75 signatures requesting the appointment of Hans Madlener as swimming instructor at the proposed city park plunge was filed. The city manager was instructed to advertise informally for bids on the Comstock house which is to be moved from the city park. Anaheim council meets tonight with trustees of Santa Ana Fullerton and Orange to consider bid for $29,500 on two screens and other equipment for the first unit of the joint outfall sewer treatment plant. It is also time to call for bids on the construction of the ocean end of the sewer. City Manager Steward stated there should be an early meeting with Fullerton and Orange councils on the building of the line from these cities to the point where it connects with Santa Ana's. This is at a standstill at present. Anaheim and Fullerton have voted bonds but are each waiting on the other to sell. It is probable the two cities will call for bids at the same time to avoid jeopardizing each other's sale. Attorneys have advised Orange a coast highway link between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach will not be endangered even if the assertion is correct of H. M. Toy, new chairman of the State Highway Commission, that funds have been practically exhausted. As a matter of fact, county authorities today gave their opinion that Ex-Chairman N. D. Darlington's view was right, namely that more than $12,000,000 all told in the state remains available for new contracts. For all three links of the coast route in the county $4,000,000 was set aside. That is, for the piece all the way to Serra, altho if two links are made of the stretch from Newport Beach to Serra there will be four links. The Long Beach-Huntington Beach link now is being constructed. Darlington's signed statement today in answer to Toy's was: "There is available for highway construction more than $28,000,000. This is made up of unsold bonds and federal aid funds. Against this should be charged the sum necessary to complete going contracts amounting to something over $15,000,000. This leaves an unobligated balance of over $12,000,000 which is available for new contracts." PLEADS GUILTY TO BAD CHECK CHARGE A. E. Hibbs of Orange pleaded guilty today to presenting a no-found check and was given a suspended sentence of two years, following his application for probation. He has seven children, whom he is determined to support himself. Hibbs is a laborer. He didn't seem to half realize his wrongdoing. HIGHWAY TO PARK PAVING COMPLETED Autoists of the west and north ends of the county will be glad to know that cast Chapman-ave, Orange, between Cambridge-st and the Santiago creek bridge, was completed yesterday. The street, however, will be closed to traffic until February 1 to allow the customary "curring." The mile strip, which was paved with 8-inch solid concrete, completes the link of highway to the park. Almost 45 days of continuous operation have been consumed on the job. O.K.BOND ISSUE It is also time to call for bids on the construction of the ocean end of the sewer. City Manager Steward stated there should be an early meeting with Fullerton and Orange councils on the building of the line from these cities to the point where it connects with Santa Ana's. This is at a standstill at present. Anaheim and Fullerton have voted bonds but are each waiting on the other to sell. It is probable the two cities will call for bids at the same time to avoid jeopardizing each other's sale. Attorneys have advised Orange a bond election cannot be called there until there is some sort of agreement signed with the other cities. Anaheim and Fullerton take the position they cannot sign such an agreement until it is known that Orange will approve the bonds. Mayor Stark said last night that "if Orange doesn't want to come in it can stay out." DRY RAIDERS GET LIST OF BUYERS LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12.—A carefully compiled card index of customers, including the names of a dozen women, has relied by federal officers early to a raid on the headquarters of Fuller Bishop, alleged at an apartment at 1129 San Juan Street.

Anaheimer in Chicago Writes Home City Song With the Anaheim anthem contest for a $25 prize offered by Louis Danz coming to a close next Monday contributions continue to pour in. Many disclosed real poetic genius. "Day by day in everyway they are getting better and better." With the advantage of a "no place like home feeling" as her inspiration for an Anaheim song, Miss Grace Hedstrom, wellknown local high school graduate, sends a contribution from 53 No. Greenbay-rd, Highland Park, Illinois, near Chicago, where she is visiting. Because of the distance, she had not yet learned of the adoption of the music for the anthem and her poem as written does not suit the requirements but it is reproduced here as a tribute from an Anaheimer far from home. There was a quaint old village In a valley, deep and wide—And to it came brave pioneers From all the countryside. And as the years rolled onward And Time sped swiftly by, This tiny, quaint old village Grew dear to many an eye. It was near a flowing river, Had a rare and surrey clime—With orange groves and fair harvests, So—they called it Anaheim, To Anaheim, beloved city Thy many sons and daughter sing. Till—Plung throughout our wondrous Nation Thy praise shall ever ring. ANAHEIM Let's sing a song of Anaheim—The spot we love so well. We'll tell a tale of Anaheim Which only they can tell Whose hearts like noble Anaheim With sweet impulses swell. Dear Anaheim, the home of men Who've learned to do and dare; The home of women just and good; The fairest of the fair; The home of fruit and flowers sweet. Our town, known everywhere. MRS. H. P. WEAVER. ANAHEIM Oh growing town of Anaheim The jewel of the West; Where people come from every clime To the land loved the best; O happiness and peace Where wonders never cease.

Richards, murdered victims of a "hooded mob." The "blacklisting" of citizens who incurred the klan's enmity was charged by "Big Jim" Norsworthy, a former klansman, while testifying at the opening on the "hooded mob" murders. Six men placed on the alleged "blacklist" were ordered deported under a threat of death. Norsworthy said, as the price of peace in Morehouse parish. RUHR MINE MEN SNUB FRENCH outrages in Morehouse parish today was directed toward a reported "death list" which contained the names of Watt Daniel and Thomas F. Richards, murdered victims of a "hooded mob." The "blacklisting" of citizens who incurred the klan's enmity was charged by "Big Jim." Norsworthy, a former klansman, while testifying at the opening on the "hooded mob" murders. Six men placed on the alleged "blacklist" were ordered deported under a threat of death. Norsworthy said, as the price of peace in Morehouse parish. It was this list that occupied the attention of state authorities. Eight members of a peace conference, called to adjust differences between the klan and other citizens of the parish, were said to have known of this "death list" and they were summoned to court today to tell their stories from the witness stand. In the number were Robert L. Dade, mayor of Mer Rouge, a recalled witness and Will Norsworthy, a brother of "Big Jim." Besides Daniel and Richards, the other men named for deportation or death were said to be Hugo Davenport, a wealthy planter of Mer Rouge; Walter Campbell, the town marshal; A. C. Whipple, a blacksmith and Tom Milner, a factory foreman. Milner took the hint, it was said, and long since crossed the Louisiana state line. Davenport, Campbell and Whipple are "sticking it out." Search was resumed today for a traveling salesman reported to have been near Lake La Fourche on the night Daniel and Richards were slain. This man, sitting beside his broken down automobile, was declared to have seen the bodies of the two mob victims being carried to the lake to be buried in a silmy water grave. His testimony would clinch the state's reconstruction of the murders. Witnesses declared that they doubted whether any attempt had ever been made to assassinate Dr. B. M. MooKin, former mayor of Mer Rouge, as had been claimed. WOMAN HURT WHEN STRUCK BY MOTOR Mrs. Minnie Pieper of South Kroeger-st., was knocked down and badly bruised last night, when struck by a car at Kroeger and Center-sts.

RUHR MINE MEN SNUB FRENCH ESSEN, Jan. 12.—German industrial resistance to French occupation began to show its teeth today. Privy Chancellor Gruetzner appeared before General Simon, head of the Franco-Belgian-Italian industrial commission, and made formal denial of the commission's right to interfere in the German coal mining industry in the Ruhr fields. The German coal magnates snubbed the allied commission by sending their agents instead of appearing in person as the French military authorities desired. The mine owners made it plain beyond doubt that they were to oppose the French at every turn. Bochum and Glesenkirchen next to Essen, the most important industrial cities in the Ruhr, were surrounded by French troops today but were not entered. The French now have the mines, but it is a question if they will be able to do anything with them. Essen and the heart of the Ruhr field coal fields now are under French military domination. The situation is quiet but tense. There have been no disorders. LOS ANGELES, MAN SEEKS WIFE HERE Abraham Shugar, of Los Angeles today called upon The Plain Dealer to assist him in locating his wife and son, Albert, two.
