Stock, last remit of the old wet political man on the board of trustees, who call was petitioned after those Law Enforcement Mass Meeting at Anaheim H. S. Auditorium Anaheimers will be given the opportunity to hear at first hand tonight the inside story of the great law enforcement raid recently staged in Orange-co following which federal agents reported here were at least 500 bootleggers operating in defiance of law. The story will be told at a law enforcement mass meeting called for 8 p.m. tonight at the Anaheim high school auditorium. At a similar rally and mass meeting at Fullerton high school auditorium last Wednesday evening, standing room was at a premium and many who wanted or heard could not get inside the largest hall in Fullerton. So intense has been the interest aroused by the efforts of the law enforcement advocates that a large delegation of Santa Ana citizens called on the citizens' committee and urged that a similar meeting be held at the county seat. It is the plan to hold mass meetings at each city in Orange-co. The meeting here tonight was advertised from the pulpit of the White Temple Sunday evening when Rev. J. A. Geissinger bellied the efforts of the raiders which up to last report have resulted in arrest of 72 bootleggers. According to members of the White Temple, "he gave us permission to attend the mass meeting but warned us to have our eyes open and under no circumstances to contribute anything. All the while he was protesting: 'How dry I am!' Political observers declare that as a result of the demonstration in favor of law enforcement displayed at these mass meetings it is entirely possible that some important developments may come in the affairs of the county. POLITICS BOBS UP IN RUM SCANDAL JERSEY CITY, N. J., Dec. 16. New Jersey's liquor scandal assumed the aspect of a political battle today when U. S. Dist. Atty. Walter G. Winne went to Washington to protest against the action of Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, assistant attorney general, in ordering him to keep out of the liquor inquiry. Winne, who was Senator Walter E. Edge's campaign manager in the recent senatorial contest, was to see Mrs. Willebrandt in Washington this afternoon. Edge has expressed himself as "satounded" at Mrs. Willebrandt's instructions to Winne. Fullerton will have plenty of opposition in her fight to have the Southern Branch of the U. of C. located close at hand on the Bastanchury ranch. The site committee asks that proposals of sites be made again at a meeting Jan. 6 in Los Angeles.

To make it clear just what the site committee tentatively demands of a site here is the verbatim statement: 1. Size—The size of the site should not be less than 600 acres as a minimum and it is considered more profitable to have a site 1,000 acres. 2. Quality of Land—The land shall be well drained and suitable for campus facilities. 3. Water Supplies—The water supply and utilities shall be adequate to meet requirements for an institution of this kind. 4. Sanitary Conditions — The sanitary conditions shall be good. Environment and climatic conditions shall be favorable. 5. Accessibility—a) Highways, (b) Railroads, (c) Street cars, (d) Bushes. Note: The above means of transportation shall be adequate to properly handle the students' population of the proposed campus site. 6. Proximity to large centers of population. Note: Site shall be located favorably to meet the needs of the largest number of people." It is on this last "note" that Fullerton bases a large part of its hopes. Orange-co is central, much more to than Santa Barbara. Prominent Business Aligns Himself With Law Enforcement Harry L.

ELSIE SWEETIN'S LIFE IN BALANCE MOUNT Vernon, Ill., Dec. 16.—The state's case against Mrs. Elisie Swetin virtually collapsed here today when the court refused to admit to testimony a signed confession in which she had told of administering arsenic to her husband, Wilford, for whose murder she and Rev. Lawrence M. Hight, her "perfect lover," are on trial. MOUNT VERNON, Dec. 16.—The decision which may mean life or death to Elisie Swetin hung in the balance today. It will mean the admission or rendition from evidence of her alleged signed confession—a document, the state contends, in which she admitted administering arsenic to her husband, Wilford, not once but again and again as he lay stricken when it seemed the first potion would not serve to remove him as an obstacle in the path of his love for Rev. Lawrence M. Hight, her co-defendant, in the trial for Wilford's murder. Today, after nearly 12 hours of bitter controversy, the court will rule on the confession. If it is admitted, there will be only Elisie's own story from the witness stand. Hight's confession that he bought arsenic and gave it to Elisie to administer to Wilford already has been admitted to evidence in so far as it concerns him. If Elisie's statement goes into the record the state's victories will be its strongest bolt.

NAVELS JUMP DOLLAR IN AUCTIONS While pickers of the Anaheim Coldest in Five Years in Seattle SEATTLE, Dec. 16.—Three boats were in distress in Seattle waters this morning, the coldest day in five years here. With the mercury at 15 degrees at 5 a.m., rising to 16 at 8 a.m., snow continued to fall through the night and morning, driven by a fierce gale which smashed the wind velocity measuring equipment of the government weather bureau.

FRIGID WAVE CROSSING NATION Heavy Snow Falling in Mountains 60 Miles From Los Angeles Starting around 8 o'clock this morning over most of the county, it rained intermittently today.

DOLLAR IN AUCTIONS While pickers of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n were gathering the first of the new crop of navels yesterday in the Anaheim district, navels were selling on the Eastern auction markets at an advance of as much as $1.00 per box over last week and 75 cents to $1.00 over the corresponding date of last year. The average prices of the last two weeks also have been that much higher than during the corresponding period of 1923, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands. The groves are proving up 8-1 (eight parts of soluble matter to one acid), so how extensively is uncertain yet. The sugar is in the solids. Sandilands mentioned several factors which are going to help the marketing situation during the 1924-25 season. One is the fact that the Florida Fruit Grower' Exchange now comprises 65 per cent of the growers as compared with 35 per cent last year and already has assisted immeasurably in keeping the crops in hand. Last year the Floridans made little or no money, most of them. Another is that apples, one of the two or three chief competitors of oranges, will sell very high because there is only half a crop in the Northwest and give oranges a better chance.

A physician, the husband called also tried resuscitative measures, but Mrs. Stotheart died quickly and apparently without pain.
