Nelson Confers With the Coroner Following Inquest Sunday
A manlaughter charge may be filed against James L. Tattersall, prominent in business and social circles of San Francisco, as the result of an automobile accident near Irvine in which his wife was killed, according to district attorney A. P. Nelson.
A coroner's injunct was held over the body of the young woman, Mrs. Josephine Tynan Tattersall, who is the daughter of Jos. L. Tynan, head of the Bethlehem Steel Co. in San Francisco.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict declaring Mrs. Tattersall's death was due to excessive speed of the automobile in which she was riding.
District Attorney Nelson said he would confere with Coroner Brown before taking any action against Tattersall.
Mr. and Mrs. Tattersall were married a year ago in San Francisco, their wedding being a great social event.
The Irvine boulevard continued to levy its death-toll from the week-end traffic; it was revealed today, with one death and two seriously injured as the result of an automobile wreck while two others were severely hurt in an accident near Serra.
Mrs. Josephine Tynan Tattersall, wife of James Tattersall, 26. San Francisco business man and daughter of Joseph Tynan, millionaire shipbuilder of the bay city, was crushed to death when a heavy touring car racing along the highway two miles south of Irvine Saturday evening, hurtled off the boulevard and tumbled end ever end.
Tattersall, who was at the wheel, came through the accident unsecured but two women guests of the Tattersalls, Mrs D. T. Ruttenbach and daughter, Florence of San Francisco, were both dangerously injured. Mrs. Ruttenbach may lose her leg. The daughter suffered fracture of the skull. Both are at the Community hospital.
A. Madrid, of Carlsbad, suffered a broken collar bone and his wife received two rib fractures when their car upset near Serra Saturday evening and rolled over three times. The couple is at the county hospital, where their injuries are not regarded as dangerous.
Details of the accident and its impact on the study of the dried fruit industry. They have spent some months at the U. of C. in Berkeley, and with the California Brunei & Fig Growers and the County Clerk Prepares For Biennial Lining Up of Electorate
At the eve of the regular biennial registration of voters, which starts Jan. 1, County Clerk J. M. Backs was today taking preliminary steps toward organizing his corps of registrars, which he expects will handle approximately 40,000 registrations during the year.
In accordance with the California election laws, all registration records are figuratively speaking, erased every two years, it was explained by Backs. Every second January sees a new set of records opened and each voter who expects to cast a ballot during the ensuing two years, must re-register, he said.
An unusually heavy registration is expected during 1924, because it is a "presidential" year, and also because of the tremendous gain in the county's population. Backs indicated:
"I expect a registration totaling close to 40,000," said Backs. Such a figure, it was shown, would mean an increase of about 8700, or approximately 25 per cent, in the voting strength of the county the last two years.
The final totals in the 1922 registration were 32,317. In 1920 they were 25,113. Thus 1922 showed a gain of 6204, and this increase is naturally expected to be outstripped by the gain of the last two years. Backs says.
The voters, he announced, will have three opportunities to ballot on presidential candidates during 1924. The preferential primary, Nov. 6, the regular August primary, and the general election in November, will provide these opportunities. The first election scheduled in Anaheim under the new registration is the city council election in April.
Backs expects a "shop early" movement by voters on account of the May primary and estimates that between 28,000 and 30,000 will qualify to vote by registering before April 6, the date of closing the registration books for the May event.
That voters must come out in the open and make known their political affiliations this time, under penalty of missing the primaries if they fail to do so, was stressed by the registration chief.
"Particular emphasis should be given that point," said Backs.
"All registration deputies are under special instructions to require statements of the voters' political party." If such statements are not
December Building Permits
Will Establish New Record
In 12 days of operation, 21 building permits representing a valuation of $117,347 have been issued in Anaheim by the office of Building Inspector J. W. Price. At this rate December's total will very closely approach that of the record aggregate of November, $232,732. It brings the year's total to -2,243,142 or nearly a quarter of a million dollars in excess of the mark mentioned in few months ago as the probable total in 1923.
Eleven more working days including today, will complete the month, counting out Sundays and holidays.
During the entire month of October the valuation was only $158,375 and in September only $212,611.
In December a year ago the valuation was only $140,935, while December, 1921, showed only $56,569.
The remarkable building activity in the city is shown further by comparing this record of over $117,000 in half a month by the records of the complete months of last year, when the valuation in November was only $112,513, in October only $80,280 and in September only $109,035.
At present, according to Perkins, 1,000,000 boxes of citrus fruit annually is being shipped.
Perkins became acquainted with Raymond Nebelung of Anaheim, while the latter was citrus fruit adviser to the British government at South Africa, and also knows most of the other men who have been in California, studying the fruit industries.
He and Frater are specializing in the study of the dried fruit industry. They have spent some months at the U. of C. in Berkeley, and with the California Prune & Fig Growers, and the Sun-Maid Raisin Co.
South Africa feels that it is in the same position in regard to citrus fruit culture that California occupied 25 years ago. Perkins said, and wants to get the results of California's pioneer work without going through the same process of benefiting by mistakes.
South Africa raises practically the same dried fruits as California, but on a smaller scale.
Perkins and Frater are two of 56 men who are studying or have been studying agricultural conditions in America, particularly California.

PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY XMAS TREE
The boys and girls of Anaheim are watching with interest preparations for erecting the big Community Christmas tree, which was scheduled to arrive today. The platform will be erected immediately in front of the bleachers and the tree will stand in all its glory at the left of the center, where its radiance will be easily seen from Lemon-st as well.
The star being prepared by the Holland electric shop, will top the tree and no doubt make the "big dipper" envious of its brilliance.
The program as outlined by the committee, composed of Mrs. A. A. Smith, Miss Lillian Degryse and Miss Margaret Harkins, has the numbers well arranged, but provides for slight variations. The numbers include:
Invocation—Rev. A. B. H. Bode; song—Joy to the World; community singing; led by Anaheim Community Chorus, under direction of Dale Hamilton Evans; introduction of speaker, Harry D. Riley, president Anaheim C. of C.; address, Rev. Thomas H. Walker, pastor Presbyterian church; song, Concordia Male Chorus; solo dance, Jingle Bells, Eloise Wright, ensemble dance, Parade of the Wooden Soldiers, pupils of Miss Georgia Moore's school of dancing; song, Concordia Male Chorus; Santa Claus' Arrival and presentation of 2500 stockings to children of the community.
Boy Scouts of Anaheim have volunteered to guard the tree after the decorations are in place. The goodies for the stockings have been delivered to the home of Mr. and Mrs Lotus Louden, where the Paperettes will congregate this morning to begin their happy task.
8 CITIES
More Infantry On Way From Juarez To Guadelupe
EL PASO, Dec. 17 — Additional infantry was on its way today from the federal garrison at Juarez to Guadalupe where two Mexican federal soldiers were killed in fighting Sunday.
The nature of the clash still was in doubt this afternoon.
United States peace officers received reports that the battle was begun by a rebel band of forty men. Adherents here of the De La Huerta revolt, however, described it as a clash between fireal guards and federal soldiers, with no revolutionary significance.
A fiscal guard was killed.
At Torreón, Goah regiments of volunteer militia are being recruited by Major Eduardo Arrellano, to assist federal troops in maintaining order.
The "information bureau" established here by De La Huerta sympathizers announced today that the rebels now held Puebla, Villa Hermosa, Tabaco, Acapulco, Tehuaican, Manzanillo, Vera Cruz and Guadalajara.
MADERA DECLARES REVOLT SERIOUS
SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 17 — Raol Madera, brother of the former President Madera, and himself an announced candidate to succeed Alvaro Obregon, told the International News Service that he believed the present revolution in Mexico is the most serious any chief executive has been called upon to face since the fall of the Diaz regime.
Madera, with Ernest Gonzales, left early today for Laredo. He will return to San Antonio within a few days and then proceed to New York city.
In commenting upon the present situation in the southern republic, Madera pointed out that the interests backing De La Huerta are those of the conservatives and large land owners; also the middle classes, and that the Callesta group is composed almost entirely of the more extreme or radical element, who believe in the separation of the haciendas, and the parceling out of them to small farms.
Madera declared he was perfectly neutral at the present time, siding with neither the Obregon-Calles group nor with De La Huerta.

URGE ZONING PLANS FOR ANAHEIM
Preparation of a report on a city plan covering Anaheim similar to the regional plan covering the county now is under way, with Chairman Howard E. Gates of the county regional planning committee of the associated chambers of commerce in charge, according to Secretary George W. Reid of the local chamber, who gives Gates credit for initiating the city plan idea here.
Gates months ago presented the matter of a city plan before the local chamber, and also city council, of which he is a member, and was encouraged at that time in the project.
The first tangible step in preparation for a city plan may be taken Jan. 9 in Los Angeles, where Examiner Williams of the state railroad commission will conduct a hearing regarding the adequacy of the protection of the grade crossing of the Santa Fe at E. Center st. and E. Broadway. Inasmuch as the Union Pacific has crossings at the same points, the adequacy of its protection also may be discussed.
The Southern Pacific's crossing still is outside the business section of the city, and is regarded as on a different status.
The city, officially or unofficially, is certain to have a representative at the coming hearing, it is said.
DESTROED
40 Tons of Hay, Three Mules, Horse, New Tractor, Etc., Lost
Flames, believed to have started from spontaneous combustion, resulted in several thousand dollars damage shortly before noon today at the Cady ranch on W. Orangethorpe ave.
The large barn on 40-acre citrus and dairy ranch was consumed with all contents, including 40 tons of hay, three mules and one horse, large tractor recently purchased, several sets of harness and numerous farming implements.
The ranch is owned by Mrs. Penelope Cady and her son James Calder. The latter operates the dairy.
The flames were first noticed about 10:30 a.m. by a farm hand working in a field a half-mile away. By the time he reached the scene, the fire had spread through the structure, and it was too late to save anything.
Recently completed cow barns with concrete stanchions, built to house thirty cows, were also destroyed. Because of the intense heat, due to the large amount of hay, considerable difficulty was experienced in preventing the fire from spreading to three large frame silos nearby.
The Buena Park fire department responded to the fire alarm and did valiant work, as did also a truckload of men from the Standard Oil Co. pipe line department at Northam station.
There was no one at home when the fire was discovered. Mrs. Cady had gone to Los Angeles, and she had not returned to learn of her loss late this afternoon. Until she returns, no one can say if there was insurance.
