TOWN IN REVIEW BY OLD TIMER IF YOUR will or divorce petition smells fishy when you get it from City Atty. Hans Weisel this will explain the whys and wherefores. If there's anything the city attorney like it's fresh fish so a client made a big hit with him when he presented Hans with a liberal menu just out of the drink. Hans at first didn't know what to do with them until time to go home. Then his eye rested on the safe. It's about the size of a refrigerator and looked cool. He decided to put them in there. That was four days ago. Today when he opened the safe—yoy, yoy and a couple of wows, Haas held his nose while he fished out the decendent fish, then slammed the door shut to keep the odor from circulating down into Center-st while he hunted a garbage can." And just think," walls Hans, "I could have eaten them as well as not." Never mind, Hans, when the old oil money starts roiling in like it is for Brother Pete you'll be opening your safe offener than once every four days. SO. CAL, will have two students in classic Harvard this year—one from Anaheim. He is Clinton Wimren who left San Pedro last night on an oil-tanker with a Pomona college chum from Pasadena. They will get $50 each and lenses for their work in the end room on the trip thru the canal to New York. The experience will be useful as both are students of mechanical engineering. They plan to top off their studies at Pomona where they graduated in June with a course at Harvard. HASN'T anybody found a big bunch of keys?

APPEAL to Business People Not to Park Cars in Center of City Outstanding among the actions of new C. of C. directors yesterday, was discussion of the greatly increasing auto traffic in the business district of Anaheim, which has been the subject of bitter complaint from outside shoppers of influence. The matter was brought on the floor by Wm. Falkenstein who said that some of the county people were forced to park their cars as far as three blocks from the desired center. Secretary Fraser brought out the fact that previous committees had this problem before the city council on several occasions, without result. It has been a constant sore spot in the problems of other chambers of commerce, but Anaheim is probably the worst sufferer. Fraser said that, in spite of the constantly widening business district, the congestion continues appalazingly. The trouble is that local business people, both merchants and others, and their employees, selfishly leave their cars parked for hours at a time in just such locations as should be left for the convenience of those doing business in this center, according to the Board members present. The secretary was instructed to appeal to the public, through the columns of the local press and also to take up the matter with the city manager with the view of getting helpful co-operation. But it was thought that only through the common consideration of the business themselves, the duty of Anaheim to the great group of outsiders who trade here, can properly be done. “If we would consider, even from a selfish standpoint,” said Mr. Falkenstein“how much we are standing in our own light, in allowing our cars and those of our employees to be parked right in front of the places where we do business, this system would be abolished at once.” I feel rather guilty myself, but am going to turn over a new leaf. This subject has been based of much consideration by the City Council, Chamber of Commerce and Merchants and Manufacturers Ass'n., but I believe the adoption of a campaign of personal unselfishness on part of car owners so flagrantly misusing our streets in the busy business districts is the only real solution of the problem. Let everyone interested in business here realize that our visitors deserve the scant courtesy of at least a place to park, while they are doing business with us and we can make them happy.” THIRD COURT JUDGE A good way but the fashion this year some to run to houses on wheels. Nearly every day you see one of these monstrous passing thru the streets. I peaked into one the other day and it looked just like home with stove, ice box, wash stand, full mattress bed and soiled collar on the bureau. ERNEST GIELOW of the Anaheim Electric Co., tells me he has been having quite a run on electric irons. One family man after another has come in and tooted one away. He presumed it was on account of a new "Wife Saving Station" sign in a window display electrical appliances. May be so, Ernest, may be so. But you must also remember that those electric irons, anchored down with cord to the light socket, aren't so handy to toss around promiscuous like as were the old or common garden variety of flat irona. FULLERTON POSTAL PLUM ATTRACTS 3 W. N. Irwin, C. C. Clark and H. V. Williams, have thrown their hats into the ring for the appointment as Fullerton postmaster when the term of Merton Blackford, incumbent, expires next April. Mr. Irwin is a well-known Fullerton realtor, and has held many places of trust which qualify him for the work. Mr. Clark must present employed at the post office, and expects to make a good showing because of his experience and familiarity with the needs of the office. Mr. Williams is assistant cashier of the First National Bank, and was formerly connected with what is now the Doty Drug Store. J. A. Ryan, charged with evading railroad fare, was arraigned before Judge French this morning. He was sentenced to 30 days in jail. N. D. Constant, picked up on a felony charge, was turned over to the sheriff's office. TEMPERATURE Maximum 80 about 2:50 p.m. THIRD COURT JUDGE EAGERLY AWAITED Appointment of the third superior court judge of Orange co is being eagerly awaited in Santa Ana, with the departure yesterday of Judge Pro Tem William D. Dehy for Inyo-co and the likelihood that Judge Z. B. West will be unable to resume his duties this year. The latter had expected to go back on the bench in October, but the condition of his health, according to his friends, will forbid it. It is even said that the Santa Anan will never be able to take up the work again. Governor Richardson has been investigating candidates, and the appointment is believed to be forthcoming soon. The bailiff and clerk, Dan Adams of Newport Beach and Melvin Head, son of Attorney Horace Head, of Santa Ana already have been named. If Judge West finally resigns, another appointment will have to be made, and unless further judges pro tem are named the county, even with the new permanent appointee, will have only two judges as before to look after the accumulated court business. The calendar is far behind and the number of cases awaiting action this fall will be tremendous, because of the setting for months past of dates well into the fall.

With the opening of high school Sept. 11, little more than a week, over 600 pupils are racking their brains to find out what course of study to take. For this reason registration will start Tuesday, Sept. 4. Seniors will register the first day, juniors Wednesday, sophomores Thursday and freshmen, Friday. About 150 freshmen are expected to enroll Friday. Principal J. A. Clayes requests the pupils to register on the days allotted them as it will make matters less complicated. The office will be open only on Tuesday afternoon so the seniors are asked to come between the hours of 1 and 5. On the other days, the doors will be open from 9 to 5. There will be no evening registering. For those who come on the bus here is the schedule: The bus leaves Los Alamitos grammar school at 9 o'clock Wednesday, picking up students of all classes. The other business will leave the Anaheim High school at 8 o'clock and make their regular runs. All those who do not have any other way to come in are requested to catch the bus on Wednesday, as it will run no other day. All those who desire transportation are requested to give their address when they register so the driver can map out his route, and give the best possible service. "Unless there is a decided increase in the attendance, we can get along nicely with the equipment we have," stated Mr. Junkin this morning. Last year the seven buss routes accommodated 250 and an increase is expected. There will be no class work the afternoon of the first day of school, enabling pupils to go to Santa Ana and see the Ringling Bros., and Barnum and Bailey Show, without having to ditch classes. The sessions are 45 minutes and school starts at 8:30 and ends at 3:30. State Department Announces Resumption of Diplomatic Relations (By H. K. Reynolds) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The U.S. has extended political recognition to Mexico. Official announcement of the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two governments was made at the state department today. The formal announcement was made by William Phillips, the acting secretary of state, in these words: The government of the United States and the government of Mexico in view of the reports and recommendations that their respective commissioners submitted as a result of the American-Mexican conferences held at the City of Mexico from May 14, 1923, to August 25, 1923, have resolved to renew diplomatic relations between them and therefore, pending the appointment of ambassadors, they are taking the necessary steps to a recent, formally, their respective charge d'affaires. Until ambassadors are named by President Coolidge and President Obregon, the United States will be represented in Mexico City by George T. Summerlin, the American charge d'affaires, and the Mexican government in Washington by Senior Manuel C., Tellez, the Mexican charge d'affaires. Ambassadors may not be named until December, when the United States congress is in session to act on the nominations submitted by the president. The re-establishment of friendly relations between the United States and Mexico was effected as the result of negotiations which have been carried on for more than two years and which came to a conclusion few weeks ago in the conference at Mexico City between representatives of President Obregon and an American commission composed of Charles B. Warren and John Waiton Payne. At the beginning of his administration the later president Harding opened informal negotiations with President Obregon with a view to establishing a basis for the re-establishment of political intercourse. For many months the principal question at issue was the retroactivity of article 27 in the Mexican constitution of 1917. American capitalists with vast oil and mineral interests in Mexico contended that under this section their rights were abridged thru-the confiscation of their property. Article 27 provides that the Mexican people hold title to all sub-sol deposits and that only Mexicans had the right to develop oil concessions. The Mexican supreme court finalized her holding that article 27 of State Department Announces Resumption of Diplomatic Relations. Exceeding the total valuations of the entire 12 months of 1921 or 1922, building permits up to Sept. 1 of the city represent an outlay of $1,521,-747. The August record is complete today and amounts to $159,312. For eight months 550 permits were issued and for August alone 73. The year is certain ot show $2,000,000 and perhaps $2,500,000, according to Building Inspector J. W. Price. August is the best month since April, and January, March and April alone exceeded its aggregate. The month's showing compares with a valuation of $125,105 in July and 60 permits. The total of the first eight months of 1922 was only $970,283.50, represented by 414 permits. All of 1922 amounted to only $1,412,046.50 and all of 1921 to only $1,253,875.38. The largest single items of the month were $27,950 of the pool and locker room at the city park and $10,665 of the grand stand in the park. The next largest item was $6,175. Most of the individual improvements were under $4,000.

FOLLETTE ON TRIAL LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31—Accused of forgery on two counts, Channing Follette, justice of the peace of the Los Angeles township, today went on trial in Superior Judge Sidney N. Reeve's court. FOR many months the principal question at issue was the retroactivity of article 27 in the Mexican constitution of 1917. American capitalists with vast oil and mineral interests in Mexico contended that under this section their rights were abridged through the confiscation of their property. Article 27 provides that the Mexican people held title to all sub-sol deposits and that only Mexicans had the right to develop oil concessions. The Mexican supreme court finally held, however, that article 27 of the constitution was not retroactive so that no confiscation of foreign property could be permitted under Mexican law. This paved the way. In the conferences just concluded the question of whether or not Mexico was possessed of a stable government was not considered, it being assumed by the American commissioners that such a government did exist. Requests were made upon the state department today for the publication of the texts of the agreements entered into between the United States and Mexico. It was said, however, that these agreements would not be made public at this time, and officials declined to add anything to the formal announcement already given out. FULLERTON K.

Jones was found unconscious in his palatial cabin in the Santa Monica mountains near here yesterday, by J. F. Natteford, a writer friend of New York. Dr. J. S. Kelsy, who attended Jones, said Jones death was hastened by season of an overdose of veronal. Jones recently inherited considerable money from the estate of his mother and it is the police theory that bandits learned of this and believed Jones had considerable money in his cabin. Acid burns were found all over his body, indicating the police believe that Jones was tortured to reveal the hiding place of the supposed money. The dead man's wife arrived from San Francisco last night. She was at his bedside when he died. SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 31—Without revealing the cause of the numerous burns which marked his body, Herbert Jones, well to do New York and San Francisco writer, died today. SANTA MONICA, Aug. 31—Acting upon a theory that "acid bandits" tortured Herbert Jones, 37, of New York and San Francisco, well to do motion picture writer, and left him to die in his isolated cabin in the Santa Monica mountains, sheiffs deputies today sought to solve the mystery. At the Loamshire hospital, where Jones was taken, it was said he was suffering too from veronal poisoning; Jones' lower limbs were severely burned and there was no trace of fire in the cabin. The wife of the writer, who was visiting in San Francisco was at his bedside today. WORTHMORE TRACT DEALER ORANGE COUNTY JULY, 1923 27TH YEAR—NO. 5.

ITALY MAKES READY FOR CONFLICT LONDON, Aug. 31.—(2 p.m.) —Premier Mussolini of Italy will resent intervention by the League of Nations in the Italian-Greek dispute over the assassination of Italians, according to a Central News dispatch from Rome. (By David M. Church) (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Aug. 31.—The powers were reported today to be exerting pressure upon Premier Mussolini of Italy to prevent the Italians from going to war against Greece over the assassination of Italian members of the Albanian boundary commission. The real situation in Italy is obscure owing to sensorship. The first battle squadron of the British navy has been ordered to assemble at Invergordon, but admiralty officials claim that this activity is without significance. British destroyers have been ordered to concentrate at an unnamed rendezvous. British newspapers, in discussing war possibilities, point out that Italy outnumbered Greece as to army, navy and air forces, three to one. But there is much conjecture as to the attitude of Jugo-Slavia and Turkey in the event of war. Jugo-Slavia is angry over failure to acquire Flume and the Turks are discontented over the loss of African territory to Italy. Most British newspapers believe that Mussolini acted too hastily and drastically in sending an ultimatum to Athens as the five men who were assassinated were attached to an international organization, not one of strictly Italian nationality. DESTROTED Bayside Land Co., of Which P. A. Stanton Is President, Chief Loser SEAL BEACH Aug. 51.—Fire of undetermined origin early today destroyed 13 buildings in the amusement zone here. Loss was estimate at $30,000. Fire apparatus was summoned from Long Beach to aid the local department. Buildings owned by the Bayside Land Co., of which P. A. Stanton is president, were the principal structures destroyed. The Seal Beach racing derby and the bathhouse, two of the largest amusement places, were seriously threatened. Jesse Nevarre was in a shooting gallery he conducts when the fire started and managed to save part of his equipment before the blaze destroyed the structure. ROB OFFICES OVER POLICE STATION MONTEBELLO, Aug. 31.—Walking past men on duty in the police station offices on the second floor of a building in the center of town here, burglars last night stole a quantity of gold from a dentist' office.
