"Whole Raft of $1000 Subscriptions Will be LAND PRICES Big Delegation Will A company Local Team "Whole Raft of $1000 Subscriptions Will be Made," Says Banker One quarter of the total of $200,000 sought to capitalize the Community Industrial Land Co., will have been raised by tonight! That or more. In other words, in two days Anaheim has put over a campaign, still unfinished, such as never has been even remotely approached here. The figures are those of President Harry D. Riley of the C. of C. who declared further that the drive would be continued until the last dollar had been collected or pledged. According to Riley, an extended drive was and is planned. The two days mentioned previously was the time fixed to cover 600 names only. A prominent banker asserted that "a whole raft of $1,000 subscriptions" would be made, "50 at least". Besides, there have been some subscriptions already many times that size. Figuring these large subscriptions at $75,000, 1250 donors of $100 each, payable $25 down and the rest within a year, will put the drive over. "We are going to get the $200,000," said Mayor William Stark. Early this afternoon the mark on the "thermometer" at Los Angeles and Center streets went another $10,000. Much preliminary work had to be done in the way of actually getting names on the dotted line for the first $30,000 or $40,000 announced as subscribed bithertto. The promises were made; but signatures required interviews and took time. The 60 workers, not satisfied with neglecting their own affairs and scouring the streets for miles, "showing their goods," have also come across handsomely. "We've got to put this over," continued the banker referred to "There's no two ways about it." The feeling today appeared to be that it was time to end Anaheim's status of a one-industry town. President Roscoe B. Young of the Merchants' Section of the C. of C., who reminded LAND PRICES CLIMB NEAR GADDIE NO.1 Speculation in land in and near the Gaddie Well No. 1 hair a mile south of Cypress, or on a line with it, is becoming active. E. A. Coff, for example, has told to private persons, 20 acres at the corner of Moody and Ball roads; and a report is current in Cypress that an offer of $2500 per acre had been made for 115 acres purchased by C. C. Julian from the Ingram Land Co. of Los Angeles, which got it from Mrs. Jesse Scott. Julian paid $810 per acre for it several months ago. Streaks of oil and gas bubbles have appeared in the cores brot up by the Gaddie well. Still close to the 3000-foot mark, the hard blue shale formation continues with progress limited to about 15 feet per day. On the second cementing, which will take place before long, the well will be shut down for three weeks, according to Gaddie. It is announced that the Valencia Oil Co. will begin to drill next week on the Retlich ranch, and the Midas Oil Co. within two or three weeks on the Huttenlocker property a mile and one-half north of Cypress. Gaddie will do the work for both concerns, and his drilling on the Retlich ranch will start probaby before his first well is brought in. E. J. Keck had not resumed drilling today in the Brookhurst well, but still was fishing for tools. ONLY 4 PARTIES GET ON BALLOT Voters, note carefully!

President Roscoe B. Young of the Merchants' Section of the C. of C., who reminded Anaheimers of this at Tuesday night's big sendoff dinner, struck not safeguard a city. Poor walnuts, even when backed by factories using the former as raw materials, do many a responsive chord. Small crops, or low prices, or both are sufficient to knock the city off its industrial balance appears to be the common view. Nor can the city wait until new oil fields near at hand are developed. Tourists are an equally uncertain quantity, it is realized. "Because Anaheim has been so fortunate and overflowing with prosperity Hitherto is no sign that it's going to stay that way," said one man. Sentiment appeared further to be that at $1700 per acre, the 40-acre tract near the former Anaheim Sugar Co. plant was a mighty good purchase, ensuring a big profit from natural increase in value alone.

After a fight, the house, by 170 to 51, rejected an amendment to tax the undistributed profits of corporations. The house exempted from the corporation tax farmers' insurance or other mutual insurance companies, mutual ditch or irrigation companies, co-operative telephone companies, or like organizations if substantially all the income consists of collections from members for the sole purpose of meeting losses and expenses. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Democratic-insurgent coalition which wrested control of tax reduction legislation from the Republican majority in the house and defeated the Mellon plan in its first test was reported today to be weakening under pressure from Republican leaders. It was asserted that two or three Republicans had been won over by regulators and would go along with them in an effort to substitute the Mellon plan for the Garner. This opportunity will come when the perfected bill is reported to the house. Republican leaders are telling those demanding a soldier bonus that adoption of the Garner plan kills every possible chance because the treasury will be left bare. Many insurgents are strong supporters of the bonus. The tax bill was taken up today with indications of a number of stiff fights ahead on several sections. One of the most stubborn of these will come when the at EXPLANATION OF PANTAGES Chauffeur of Theatrical Magnate Will be Given Hearing March 26 That Alexander Pantages, millionaire theatrical magnate, will be summoned at a witness at the hearing of his chauffeur on a charge of reckless driving, and will probably be called on to explain his alleged "gun play" at the time of the chauffeur's arrest Feb. 10, was regarded as assured today with the fixing of the trial date for March 26 at 2 p.m. in Justice J. B. Cox's court. G. A. Campbell, chauffeur, who was cited to appear after he had, it was alleged, crowded one or two cars off the highway near San Juan Capistrano, which incident was marked by alleged gun-play on the part of Pantages, entered plea of not guilty yesterday. In court yesterday, Campbell declared that a woman in the car with Pantages was wearing many valuable diamonds and feared that a car that seemed to be pursuing was occupied by bandits. The Pantages party stopped for lunch near San Juan Capistrano, Campbell said, and thought that the bandit car had passed on. When they resumed the journey toward Los Angeles they were again pursued, Campbell said, and accordingly drove rapidly until they reached heavier traffic where they felt safer. Then said Campbell, they dropped into line between other cars, which he said was the reason they were overtaken. When that happened, however, they thought that the bandits were still after them, so Pantages drew a pistol, Campbell said. From other sources, however, it was learned that the pursuing car was occupied by an frate motorist who claimed that Pantages speeding car had crowded him into the ditch south of San Juan Capistrano. Other motorists, suffering similar experiences, were said to have also taken part in the "hold up." One of these, it was said, was Elmer Heldt, of the Auto Club of So. Calif. Heldt's version of the gun play, it was said, revealed it not as a defense against a robbery, but an attempt at intimidation. Motorecycle Officers Stewart and Myers subsequently appeared and gave Campbell a "ticket" for speeding and reckless driving. NAVY BEHIND LEFT FAIR BEHIND WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.

Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. The name of a cabinet officer has been found on the books of New York brokerage houses which are now being examined by expert accountants for the Senate public lands committee, it was learned today. The records show that this official dealt extensively in oil stocks, including some shares of Sinclair, it was declared. News of the transactions, which furnished official Washington with another lively sensation in the rapid fire developments of the naval oil reserve leasing scandal, did not come as a surprise to the committee. Members have heard reports for several weeks that not only the cabinet officer and Senator Elkins, Republican of West Virginia, delt in Sinclair stocks, but that an examination of certain brokerage houses' books would reveal almost wholesale deals by government officials in oil and steel stocks. The most extensive transactions were declared to have been made by the federal officials during the period that ex-secretary of the interior Albert B. Fall was negotiating in gwith Harry F. Sinclair for the lease of Teapot Dome. These facts led the committee to call for books of leading brokers in three cities—Washington, New York and Cleveland. Committeeemen indicated today that the light of publicity would be thrown on all these transactions at open hearings as soon as the accountants finish their audit of the records.
