HOUSE OVERRIDE Anaheim Votes Tuesday on Pro FIFTH WELL NOW MUCH IN DEMAND Because of City's Growth Additional Mains Essential Fliers Forced Down In Ocean Flight BREMERTON, Wash., May 17—American round-the-world filers who landed today at Paramashiru Island in the Japanese Kuriles, were forced down once during the 878-mile flight by the fog and snow storm they encountered according to a radio message here this afternoon. The filers arrived over Kashiwabara Bay at 10:35 a.m. flying in triangle formation led by the plane of Lieut. Smith, in command since Major Martin was dropped from the flight. As soon as the filers had recovered from the rigors of the trip, Lieut.

The four councils took up the matter of a reservoir soon after the plans for the joint outfall sewer were ripening, but nothing was ever done. The fifth well is only one item to be added to local facilities. Much needed water pipe the delay in laying of which has held up miles of construction of local street paving, is another item. The last bond issue for water purposes amounted to $50,000. That was about two years ago. Anaheim's water consumption on May 15 reached a new record of 1,729,500 gallons for the 24 hours. Yesterday the city used 1,465,000 gallons. Lessened Sunday consumption, and reduction of demands during the rainy season when lawns and shrubbery do not have to be watered, are the only factors which prevent it from consumption of more than 180,000 gallons per day on the average the year round. CLAIMS WINE IS FOR SACRAMENT Al Taufi, 21, of Los Angeles, was arrested yesterday afternoon by E.R. Rudy. Fullerton deputy marshal, on the charge of transporting and having intoxicating liquor in his possession. He is said to have had a car loaded with 15 cases of wine, containing 180 bottles of one and one-half pint each. The wine was marked on the boxes as containing 29 per cent alcohol. He told the officer that the wine was for sacramental purposes, and that he had a permit from Los Angeles to deliver it. The Fullerton authorities refused to recognize the permit, and said that they were going to "stick" anyone transporting liquor inside of Fullerton, or according to a radio message here this afternoon. The fliers arrived over Kashiwabara Bay at 10:35 a.m. flying in triangle formation led by the plane of Lient. Smith, in command since Major Martin was dropped from the flight. As soon as the fliers had recovered from the rigors of the trip, Lient. Smith sent the following message thru the destroyer Ford to the chief of the army air service at Washington: "Left Attu Friday at eleven. Snow storm over Pacific forced us to land off shore of Komanderski at 4:30, but did not go ashore. Left there at eight and landed at Paramashiru at 10:35.

He told the officer that the wine was for sacramental purposes, and that he had a permit from Los Angeles to deliver it.

Ladies with plump ankles and a thirst were out of luck today as far as assaging the thirst was concerned.

And as alsy is as famous as Izzy Einstein for her disguises, the word has gone out against serving drinks to ladies with plump ankles for Daisy's ankles are rather plump.

FROIT MOVE Anaheim Valencia Growers Ass'n Leases Building for Juice Business The Anaheim district shipped 96 cars of citrus fruit this week, including two cars of lemons. This, and the leasing of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Co.'s former packing house on the S. P., by the Anaheim Valencia Growers' Ass'n, which will use the big building almost exclusively for its juice business, were the features of the week. Aggregate shipments this week were 10 cars better than last and established a new mark for the season thus far. Shipment of two cars by the Union Pacific—the first of the season—from the house of the Fay Fruit Co., formerly the Orange County Valencia Co., was announced. William Webster, who with associates owns the handsome house of the Anaheim Valencia Growers' Ass'n., on East Center-st., erected about a year ago, said he expected to witness a daily production of 1000 gallons of juice. Demands are growing at an unheard rate. Some 110 containers now are in use and 500 more will be here soon. They were expected this week. Webster has entered into a contract with the Anaheim Valencia Growers' Ass'n., to take all their small size oranges. The juice business will be confined locally to the other house if possible. The new house of the Riverside Navel Growers' Ass'n., which Webster owns, also has been given up to the manufacture of juice. Charles Eygabroad, director of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n., declared that extraction of juice was the one immediate and quick solution of the small size problem Eygabroad asserted that removal of the small sizes from the market would kill two birds with one stone, in that large sizes would not have competition to spoil prices and freight costs would be cut in two. The San Dimas plant of the exchange—the By-Products Co.—cannot anything like look after the juice business or take more than a tiny fraction of oranges not suitable for shipment. Up to the present time it has been able to look after the demands only of a limited number of exchange houses in its own neighborhood. Within a few days local business will feel the stimulus of money from the new crop. One Christ in the recent year it is believed the company will surpass the interest and power.

DELIVERY AT ONCE Plans whereby practically all the residential districts of the city which possess sidewalks and connect up with existing territory as mapped out will receive two deliveries instead of one, was announced today by Postmaster J. H. Whittaker. Scores of homes on North Palm, North Janus, North Pine, the Worthmore tract, and the southwest section including West and Water sts. will get two deliveries to their doors. Whittaker expects to obtain another carrier June 15 or July 1, and the new service will be added then. However, residents who haven’t put up their boxes cannot expect the extra service, if any service at all. Lack of boxes delays carriers, so that many houses are made to suffer. Two deliveries already are being made throughout the business. ANAHEIM MAN GETS 100,000 FOR PATENT Robert Ferguson, whose invention of a patent concentrator and amalgamator, promises to revolutionize the mining of gold, particularly where the precious metal appears in fine grains and small tonnage, has just sold his patent rights in Mexico for $100,000. A.H. Wresche, former foreman of the Hudson and Essex garage announced today. Wresche is interested with Ferguson in the venture. Ferguson receives $25,000 cash and the rest before the year is finished. It is expected that the Ferguson contrivance will save millions of dollars in gold that now lies on dump heaps throughout California and elsewhere. GREGORY SEELS DEBATE Coolidge Sustains Most Decisive Legislative Defeat of Session WASHINGTON, May 17—The soldier’s bonus bill—vetoed by President Coolidge two days ago with a message of strong denunciation—passed the house of representatives this afternoon over that veto. The vote was $13 to 78. It now goes to the senate where indications are that it will also pass over the president's disapproval, altho its foes are more hopeful of beating it there. President Coolidge sustained his most decisive legislative defeat of the session by the house's action. Congress has heretofore disregarded his wishes concerning legislation notably in the matter of tax reduction and immigration, but today's defeat marked the first time that either house has re-enacted a bill over his veto. And the fact that the president assailed the bonus in the most rigorous manner only accentuated the administration defeat. Little less than an hour of debate preceded the vote to override the White House. The republican leaders appealed to their followers to "sustain the president" but their pleas went unregarded. Even the Democratic leader, Rep. Garrett, of Tennessee, announced he would sustain the president, altho he criticized Mr. Coolidge's veto as a "needless affront to millions of ex-service men." But Garrett's position had no more effect on the house than did the Republican plea. The house was out to vote for a bonus over a veto and it did so as expeditiously as possible. “If you retreat now you'll never be able to explain it to the American people.” Rep. La guardia, of New York, fairly shouted in attacking the president's message. The size of the vote was surprising to the president's supporters. It had been generally expected that the veto would be overridden, but even the bonus leaders themselves had not anticipated it could be passed over the veto by a four to one vote. In rolling up a total of $13 votes, the bonus advocates had 53 and a fraction votes above the two thirds necessary to pass it. Three members voted. Mother of 22 in Quandary Over Name for Last Child LOS ANGELES, May 17.—Mrs. Martha Toombs, 53, the mother of 22 children, was in a quondary today trying to think of a name for her latest child, a bouncing baby girl. George A. Toombs, 63, is husband and father of the family. Mrs. Toombs is a typical mother of a large family, being a sturdy and swarthy woman with dark hair and eyes. Toombs is small of stature, with small blue eyes and gray hair that has whitened at the temples. Mrs. Toombs proudly tells of her new little daughter and declares she has given birth to a child each year for nine years. There was a note of disappointment in her voice when she said the new little girl weighed only 11 pounds while most of her other children weighed on an average of 14 pounds at birth. Mr. Toombs, formerly Miss Martha Warner of Eureka, was married to Toombs in 189K. Since that time they have had 23 children, there being three pairs of twins. Wresche is interested with Ferguson in the venture. Ferguson receives $25,000 cash and the rest before the year is finished. It is expected that the Ferguson contrivance will save millions of dollars in gold that now lies on dump heaps throughout California and elsewhere. GREGORY SELLS 10 HOUSES HERE E. S.
