Adorsement of the plan to make Anaheim a fifth class instead of sixth class city, was given today by the Anaheim Realty Board.
The board now is considering the procedure required to put the plan into effect.
Among the advantages mentioned for the change is that practically all officers will be elective instead of appointive, according to W. B. Allen, chairman of the committee.
City Manager O. E. Steward, he declared, urged Walter Rose, a member of the committee, to have the board seek a charter. The committee for the most part, however, favored a fifth class city, Allen said.
Allen reminded his hearers that Santa Ana had voted down a charter proposition.
R. C. Burger presided today in accordance with the arrangement of President B. H. Sidnam.
Endorsement of the Community Industrial Site Co., the holding concern sponsored by leading businessmen of the city, was given by the reality board.
According to a realtor present, the price to be paid for the 40-acre industrial tract near the former Anaheim Sugar factory, will be $1700 per acre.
The matter of the company was brought up toward the close of the meeting by Jake Schimtacher.
Secretary J. L. Swartout read a letter from the Fullerton Realty Board, endorsing the project for the new Anaheim-Fullerton highway. Swartout was instructed to reply, thanking the latter for their co-operation.
Swartout also read a letter from Former President A. E. Hargrove on the Torrance Title act. No action was taken at the meeting.
In the course of the discussion on new properties under the multiple listing plan the fact was brought out that the price recommended by the board after examining a property is the average of the estimates given by the members who view it. In this way it is felt a fair price can be set.

A police dog belonging to Al Pape, night watchman, early today won new laurels when G. D. Nixon, patient at the local sanitarium, who, between watchful glances of nurses, slipped from his room, down the stairs and onto the street, attempting to climb a building near the corner of Claudina and Center-sts., half block from the hospital. Clad in his pajamas, Pape thought him to be a workman in white overalls, but "Sniffer" scented something wrong, and refused to go on.
This aroused Pape's curiosity and hailing Officers Whalen and Andrade, the three took him back to the hospital, where nurses, having missed him, were frankly searching everywhere.
Nixon had been asleep only a few minutes before, and the nurse left his room to look after another patent. He had been so sick the previous day he could not sit up in bed to eat. Evidently he awoke dellirous.
He had once before, it is said, offered away from a hospital in Angeles in a similar marsh. He is said to be suffering from complications which first begun by an injury in the oil fields. He is a Standard Oil Co. patient from Montebello.
The hospital door had been unlocked a few minutes before to admit another patient.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—"The fact that there are well defined rumors concerning the sale of the Marion Star is the only fact in my possession," Frank A. Vanderlip, New York financier, declared this afternoon following summons to appear tomorrow before the senate land committee investigating the Teapot Dome oil scandal.
"I shall leave for Washington tonight and expect to testify at 10 o'clock," he said. "I have no knowledge of the facts of the sale price of the Star or its actual value, nor do I know the reasons behind the sale," he said.
"However, there have been certain rumors concerning the transaction and in my speech last night at Osmining I merely referred to these rumors and expressed the hope they would be investigated."
In addition to his statements about the sale of the Marion Star, Vanderlip charged the senate examination of former Secretary of the interior Fall halted "because Fall was ready to peach and what he would have said would have gone into the high places."
"They didn't dare," he added.
Louis T. Brush, one of the owners of the Star, telegraphed Senator Willie of Ohio this afternoon characterizing Vanderlip's statements as "untrue and ridiculous."

Says Doheny Gave $5000
For Him to Hand to George Creel
By KENNETH CLARK
I. N. S. Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—Charging "bad faith," fraud and secret dealing in connection with the leasing of Teapot Dome to Harry F. Sinclair, by ex-Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall, Leo Stack, wealthy Denver oil man and politician, took the stand in the senate's oil investigation today and submitted to a gruelling cross examination regarding his allegations.
The ramifications of Stack's charges included the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana and subsidiaries which claimed rights in the naval reserve and which were paid $1,000,000 by Sinclair to quit claims, he said.
Aside from the million dollars, Stack alleged that the real consideration the Standard company obtained from Sinclair was a half interest in the pipe line from the Wyoming fields, required to be constructed by the oil magnate in the lease contract negotiated with Fall.
Under questioning by Senator Lenroot, Republican of Wisconsin, Stack said he applied for leases to the Teapot Dome, acting for the Midwest Refining Co.
He declared he offered to drill wells on the reserve and give the navy all fuel oil; his company only reserving the water rights and gasoline.
This offer was flatly refused by the navy, Stack said.
After congress passed the navy leasing act on June 4, 1920, Stack said he approached E. L. Doheny about going in with him for a lease to the dome.
"I came to Washington and went to my friend, George Creel, and asked him to introduce me to Secretary of the Navy Daniela.
"I didn't know Daniels and I only wanted Creel to introduce us."
"It was common knowledge that the reserve was drained by wells in adjacent fields and it seemed to me that it would be wise for the navy to lease part of the reserve to save its oil."
Stack said he went to Doheny because "I thought he was an independent and I believed the American people would like an independent oil man to handle the oil in the reserves."
