Fans who took their station in front of the Plain Dealer scoreboard on Charters street. LIFE EXTINCT WHEN BODY DISCOVERED Gaylor, of San Bernardino, Subject of Inquest at Norwalk Friday F. C. Gaylor of San Bernardino, a brakeman on the Santa Fe, was killed some time last night near La Mirada, and the body is being held at the Seale funeral parlor pending an inquest scheduled for 9:30 a.m., Friday, at Norwalk. The details of the accident are unknown. No one witnessed it so far as is known. It is thought he lost his balance and was hurled from the top of a speeding freight train. He had given "the highball" sign to the engineer, E. A. Sayre, a few minutes before, and it was not until the train reached Fullerton that his absence was discovered. The train crew then went back to investigate, and found his decapitated body lying between the rails about one-half mile east of La Mirada. The decedent was a member of the San Bernardino Elks lodge, and the body is to be taken there Friday afternoon in a Seale ambulance, where the last rites are to be performed. FLOOD CONTROL NEEDS MORE MONEY The Anaheim flood control committee must obtain approximately $1800 at once, according to a financial statement just issued, to meet an overdrawal for expenditures on the dike north of the Olive bridge. Pledges already made to this amount would cover the deficit. Actual expenditures during the period from March 21, 1922, and Oct. 8, 1923, amounted to $42,527.93. Approximately $1500 is being sought by the Richfield-Anaheim flood protection district, which has called a meeting at the city hall for Tuesday evening. Four dollars per acre is being assessed against property in immediate danger of being flooded and $2 against other property in less danger. Collins in his letters says: Plain Dealer Gives First Results Here As was to be expected, the Plain Dealer, with the complete service of the International News Service, the only leased telegraphed wire entering a northern Orange county newspaper office, was able to give the first results on the world's series today. Fans who took their station in front of the Plain Dealer scoreboard on Chartres street were afforded a wealth of detailed description of the big baseball class, which is only possible through a leased wire direct from the Polo Grounds into this office. THE PLAIN DEALER FOR RESULTS. CIRCULATE 15 PETITIONS FOR LIGHTING More than 15 petitions for improved lighting systems have been circulated in the city, Secretary Geo. W. Reid of the chamber of commerce made known today, with the announcement that better illumination would be one of the topics discussed at tomorrow evening's meeting at the city hall. The object of outlining so many districts is to prevent an improvement being stalled in one section, in case there is opposition to it, say in a section immediately adjoining. The public is welcome to attend. The district improvements sought are: North Los Angeles street to be extended north and around the bend to Lemon street and out Lemon to the state highway. South Los Angeles to Broad and out Lemon to South. West Center to Cherry, from Cherry to Broadway and out Lincoln to city limits. East Center to East street. On Broadway from East to Concordia club. On Clementina from Broadway to the park as business district, and from park to North as residential district. Zeyn street from Sycamore to North. BIG WEATHER OPERA Music Lovers Friend Orange-Co. Mme.

Four dollars per acre is being assessed against property in immediate danger of being flooded and $2 against other property in less danger. Collins in his letters says: "We need to place 450 feet of piling and wire at an approximate cost of $1.40 per foot, and we must put brush or willows between 2000 feet of a double row of piling at a total approximate cost of nearly $1500. Then there is made necessary the expense consequent on keeping the old and new work in repair. We should be able to meet this as our neighbors at Anaheim and Garden Grove are doing."

FULL REPORT OF INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE—FIRST LEASED WIRE IN ANAHEIM THE ORANGE COUNTY LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Wednesday, October 10, 1923 IN FIRST OF SERIES Killed in Fall Between Cars Near L BIG WELCOME WILL GREET OPERA STAR MANSLA'GHTER CHARGE IF MAN DIES STENGEL GETS AND BAMBI BIG WELCOME WILL GREET OPERA STAR Music Lovers From All Over Orange-Co. Will Hear Mme. Matzenauer The sale of season tickets to Anaheim's series of rare musical numbers, as sponsored by the Interclub, will close tonight. The board will be removed to the high school auditorium from the music stores, where seats have been on sale, and after the concert this evening by Margaret Matzenauer only single admission tickets will be sold. The sale of tickets has gone along encouragingly, many music lovers from Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana having made reservations for the course. The club would be glad to sell many more, however, and advises the public that the difference between $5.50 for the course and $2.50 for each admission is most apparent. Probably no singer in history has a "longer" voice than Margaret Matzenauer, who will appear here this evening at the high school auditorium. Mme. Matzenauer's vocal range is astounding. She can sound the deepest notes of the contralto register and the highest in the dramatic soprano register, and the "golden and purple" quality extends throughout. Mme. Matzenauer has been called a "soprano-contraito," and other phrases have been coined to describe this unique voice. However, Mme. Matzenauer has explained that she has in no way "stretched" her voice, and that its compass is naturally broad. "If you will notice," she says, "I do not attempt the Italian primadonna soprano roles, although I have enough top tones to sing them. The fact that very high notes are demanded in a role is not so important as the position of the voice throughout the role. 'Azucena,' in Il Trovatore, touches high C, but she is not compelled to stay up in that register. I do not sing 'Aida' because my voice does not lie so high—although I could sing the individual high tones required." MANSLA'GHTER CHARGE IF MAN DIES Negligence Charged Against Truck Driver Who Left Trailer Beside Road A charge ofmanslaughter will be preferred against O. V. Palmer, chauffeur of Nelson Bros., Drilling Co., Huntingdon Beach, if Roy Corry, of Santa Ana dies District Attorney A. P. Nelson declared today. Nelson said further that the minimum ball for Palmer, whatever happens would be $1,000. Neither he nor Justice J. B. Cox is disposed to be merciful to Palmer or his employers. Palmer and Nelson Broz also are expected to be compelled to face a civil suit for heavy damages whether Corry lives or not. Corry has a wife and three children. Corry was still alive today at the Community Hospital, Santa Ana, and appeared if anything improved. He is resting more easily, with compound fractures in both legs both above and below the knees, and a heavy loss of blood, his chances are not yet bright. Palmer was arrested at Long Beach last night and booked on the general charge of violating the Motor Vehicle Act. At first he wouldn't talk, but later he explained that he had left the trailer on the pavement of the Wintesburg-Huntington Beach road Monday night, because of the mud beside the road which would have made it difficult for him to get the trailer ont if he had parked it off the highway. This information made no impression whatever on Neison and Cox. STORK VERY BUSY BIRD THIS YEAR The stork has been a much busier bird this year than last, according to City Clerk Ed Merritt—so much busier, in fact, that at the present rate 1923 will exceed 1922 in births by slightly more than 20 per cent.

PLAY BY PLAY WOMAN HURT WHEN MOTOR TURNS OVER Robert Logan of Santa Ana and Frank Tratt of Anaheim were injured late yesterday between Fullerton and Buena Park. Logan's injuries were painful but not serious, and Tratt's injuries less serious. Their car is said to have been forced from the highway by a larger machine, turning turtle in the sand. Logan was brought to Anaheim in a Seale ambulance for surgical attention. He received contusions to both shoulders, and one leg, but no broken bones. He went home today. An accident occurred on Garden Grove road near the Santa Fe crossing last night, in which Mrs. F. C. Furst of 8733 Beacon avenue, Los Angeles, was injured. She was taken to the Fullerton hospital. The accident is said to have occurred when a truck struck the car in which Mrs. Furst was riding, turning it over and pinning her underneath. She received a sprained shoulder, but was not seriously hurt. She was able to go home today. MARENO BOUND OVER John Mareno, charged with non-support, was given preliminary examination before Judge Brown late yesterday, and bound over to the superior court on bail of $250. His case is scheduled to come in in Santa Ana Friday, it is said. STORK VERY BUSY BIRD THIS YEAR The stork has been a much busier bird this year than last, according to City Clerk Ed Merritt—so much busier, in fact, that at the present rate 1923 will exceed 1922 in births by slightly more than 20 per cent. Total births up to Oct. I this year were 244, compared with 210 last year. During all of 1922 there were 270 births, against 325 at the present degree of industry of the stork. September showed only 20 births, however, against 24 in August. Of the score the past month, 15 were boys and seven girls; while in August, 18 were girls and 16 boys. The record appears to show that Anaheim's population is growing by reason of new settlers, the stork is not unfriendly to them, and it is families that are coming here. AGED CHINAMAN DIES IN HOSPITAL Ah Kim, one of the few Chinese residents of Anaheim, who lived for many years in the shack on West Chartres st., occupied by several other of his countrymen, died suddenly at the Orange county hospital yesterday afternoon. He was taken to the county home some time ago, but was in no serious condition of illness. When the attendant carried his evening meal to his room last evening he was lying on his bead dead. Ah Kim is survived by only one relative, so far as is known, a son in China. His wife died in Anaheim several years ago. He was buried this afternoon in Anaheim cemetery by the Huddle funeral home. His age was about 75. CHILD RUN OVER The 4-year-old child of "Cap" Jones, negro bootblack formerly employed at the local United Cigar store but now working in Fullerton, was struck late yesterday afternoon by an Excelsior Creamery truck driven by J. W. Porter. The accident occurred in front of 408 S. Lemon street. The driver took the child to her home on S. Clementine street, and summoned a physician. It is said she had run from behind a Ford coupe directly in front of the truck. The driver swerved, but was unable to miss her. Ball 2, low and wide. Ball 3, wide. Ball 4, wide. Dugan walked.

Oct. 10.—After more than two hours of baseball that ranged from the sublime to the ridiculous, the Giants won the opening game of the world's series from the Yankees this afternoon before a crowd of 62,000, the greatest number of cash customers that ever passed thru a single set of turnstiles in the history of the post-season games. The score was 5 to 4, but it hardly told the story. As opportunists, the McGraw entry fairly outclassed the Yankees from the moment that Heilie Groh tied the score with a triple to right, scoring three, until Casey Stengel drove a home run to deep left center for the winning run in the ninth. Stengel's drive mopped up all the loose ends of a pitchers' battle between Joe Bush and Bill Ryan. This was carried thru from the third inning when Waite Hoyt and John Watson, the original pitching selections, had turned a bit sour and left the zone of action, by request. YANKEE STADIUM, NEW YORK. Oct. 10.—More than 60,000 citizens, who cannot seem to take their brunride or let it alone, sat in this afternoon for the 1:23 premiere of New York's annual nuisance, otherwise known as the world's series, between the Giants and Yankees. The crowd broke all records for single game attendance at the post-season classic, thus confounding voluteer ball bearers, who declared in advance that New York's interest, at any rate, had grown tepid. This, it was said, is to be another case of contempt growing from familiarity. It is the third meeting between the Giants and Yankees in world's series since 1921.
