TOWN IN REVIEW BY OLD TIMER BACK east they are saying that So, Calif., boosters have put over some more of their clever propaganda by starting all this "Yes, we have no bananas!" foolishness. Every vaudeville actor pulls it and the orchestra plays the new national bananthem between acts. They say it is getting so a housewife takes her life in her hands when she goes to her corner grocery and asks for bananas. To avoid hostilities, she naturally calls for oranges. Whether the California Fruit Growers Exchange is responsible for this new back-handed selling stunt, eastern cities do not attempt to say. Nevertheless, the ridicule directed at the lowly banana is increasing the demand for our valencias. The following crack was reprinted in "Life" last week. Adventures in Shopping Young Bride (timidly): Eh —I'm not joking—eh—I mean I really want to buy some— quite seriously—eh—might I ask if you have any bananas?— New York Sun and Globe.

Siegel left the city with his family in his new Studebaker sedan Sunday morning at about two o’clock but to what destination is not known. District Attorney A. P. Nelson admitted this afternoon that application for a warrant had been made, but added that no action had yet been take. This was at 2:45 p.m. The funds under Siegel’s control, in notes, etc., will aggregate much more than the sum mentioned, according to Lyman Davis, son-in-law of A. A. Mills of the Mills Park tract. Davis, who is at Salt Lake City with Mrs. Mills on a vacation, is the most heavily involved individual of those “tied up” in Siegel’s building operations. Davis has telegraphed to his father-in-law the facts, and Mills is expected home within a few days. Until Siegel is brought into court and given a hearing, the matter of his guilt or innocence remains unproved. According to Davis, approximately $50,000 worth of building already had been done on the tract by Siegel or the corporation. Siegel, Davis said, actually owner only three percent of the land in the tract, which constitutes the largest part of the assets of the corporation, but much more than that percentage is involved in the mixup. Secretary Werner could not be reached this afternoon. The big house at North and Claudina streets which Siegel occupied with his family he did not own. Besides the new Studebaker car, he owned a Maxwell sport touring. Recently the corporation opened an office over the Masonic Temple building. Payments on both cars have been kept up, it was learned this afternoon. The offices of the Anaheim Building Corp. were open for business this afternoon. All directors were out of town this afternoon, including F. C. Leonard who has been selling stock. It was stated today that Siegel announced on his departure that he was taking Mrs. Siegel to the Hot Springs for her health.

The sidewalks under dance halls are also prolific depositories for abandoned chewing gum. THERE must be money in palmistry. For the first time in Anaheim's history, fortune-tellers have rented a building on Center-st., in which to ply their business. After paying presumably stiff rental, they also pay the city a $90 license tax each quarter. These fortune tellers are members of the Adams tribe of gypsies, the largest tribe in the United States—about 3000 of them now making their headquarters in or near Los Angeles. Harry Sidnam, while a general merchant back in North Dakota, used to act as their scribe in numerous business deals. Most of their correspondence is by telegrams which they had him write. He once assisted the chief's son in buying a bride for $2000. The gypsies bot a number of North Dakota wheat farms, paying cash, much of it English sovereigns. One gypsy enjoyed an income of $400 per month from Chicago business property and $200 similarly from Salt Lake. Because of the cold North Dakota winters, the gypsies had to abandon their wagons and tents for houses. Even so, a number died of pneumonia. After each death, they built a new house, as they would no longer reside in a place where one of their number had died. The children ran around in the snow bare-footed, squatting frequently to warm their feet. Harry says he never could figure how they could start across country with a team of horses and return in a couple of months with a whole string of them, and they would never tell him how they did it.

VICIOUSLY ATTACK ALIBI OF WOMAN LOS ANGELES, July 27.—With Roy Klumb, "man of mystery" and star witness ready to take the stand, the prosecution at the preliminary hearing of Mrs. Walburga Oesterreich, charged with slaying her husband, Fred Oesterreich, wealthy Milwaukee manufacturer, this afternoon launched a vicious attack on the alibi advanced by the young widow that Oesterreich was slain by burglars. Klumb and Mrs. Oesterreich, sitting on opposite sides of the court room, gazed at each other without display of emotion as the state called four police officers to point out discrepancies in the young widow's story of the slaying. Klumb, according to Deputy District Attorney Clark, will tell of a so-called love angle of Mrs. Oesterreich giving him a .25 caller revolver to "hide." It was a .25 caller pistol that killed Oesterreich.

A. Broker's Failure FRENCH COMPLETE REPLY TO BRITISH PARIS. July 27.—France's reply to the British reparations note has been completed, it was stated at the foreign office today. A copy was sent to Brussels yesterday. If the Belgian negotiations are concluded in time, the note will be dispatched to London tomorrow. Recent reports from the Ruhr state that the local population is changing its attitude toward occupation. Germans in Ruhr were said to be showing an increasing tendency to re-operate with the French. In consequence of this changed viewpoint on the part of Germans, the French military authorities have proposed progressive modification of occupational regions. The first was the lifting of the blockade. Steps will be taken to ameliorate living conditions of the Germans also. However, if there is any outbreak of sabotage the old time strictness will be re-established. BRUSSELS, July 27.—Belgium may not reply to the British reparations note until Premier Theunis confers with Premier Poincaré next week. It was learned this afternoon. It is admitted that there is a divergence of views between Brussels and Paris. Le CLAIR. HEARING BEFORE COX TODAY The case of the People vs. L. R. Le Claire, who is charged with cutting electric wires in a house in which J. G. Triplott, Fullerton electrician, formerly of Anheim, did the wiring, bade fair this afternoon to be prolonged to the close of the second session before Justice J. B. Cox. W. F. Menton is Le Claire's attorney. At 3 o'clock this after. $7,850,150 County Auditor Jerome Officially Fixes Total Assessment at $162,963,285 Orange county's assessed valuation jumped $7,850,150 to $162,963,285 during the fiscal year ending March 1, according to the official figures given out today by County Auditor W. C. Jerome. Huntington Beach school district's valuation rose from $9,337,040 to $20,585,520, a far larger gain even than had been predicted. The Anaheim school district's gain was from $7,433,340 to $8,448,605. The auditor announced that soldiers' property valuation exemptions this year amounted to $891,125; exemptions on schools, churches, public city and county property and the like to $2,773,720; while property taxable for county purposes was valued at $144,298,445 and operative property, including railway property at $15,000,000. The last named is taxable for state purposes. The gain or losses in school district valuations were due to the decline or growth in oil production or in building respectively. Huntington Beach's larger oil output more than made up for declines in other fields, according to Jerome, and the net gain in valuation of the county as a whole is represented mainly by the natural growth in building and improvements as the population has increased. School district gains or losses included: Santa Ana, from $12,282,765 to $16,045,895. Yorba Linda, from $1,416,010, to $1,284,625. Fullerton, from $15,009,755 to $12,736,935.

Broker's Failure Joseph Benedict, Anaheim man who lost more than $60,000 when A. W. Coote, Los Angeles broker became bankrupt stated today he believed he would be able to recover possibly $35,000 from the wreck. Since he never bot stocks on margin his purchases being standard securities he is termed a preferred creditor. Benedict called on Coote in May asking for the delivery of securities which he then had paid for in full. As in other cases Coote promised they would be forthcoming soon. In the natural course of business he would have wired the order to New York. Delivery would have required from five to seven days. Benedict was still waiting for his stocks and bonds when Coote's business was closed out June 18. According to the report of the receiver Coote executed all orders confided to him. That being the case he sent Benedict's money to New York and the securities came back. The question now interesting the receiver as well as Benedict is this—"What did Coote do with the securities?" This applies to a big list of stocks and bonds fully paid for but not delivered, and it is this subject upon which attention will be centered when he comes up for examination next Wednesday.
