WALNUT MEN ARE OPPOSED TO 8-HOUR LAW GROWERS WILL FORM LEAGUE FOR AVOWED PURPOSE OF PROTECTING INDUSTRY WILL ALSO COMBAT PROPOSED ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES ON SOUTHERN PACIFIC A "Walnut Protective League," intended to be to the California walnut growers and shippers what the Citrus Protective League is to the citrus industry, is in process of formation. A fight against the proposed eight-hour law and the minimum wage scale of $2.50 per day for eight hours, which the walnut growers say will increase the cost of production to such an extent as to materially reduce the profit of walnut raising, will be one of the first things to be undertaken by the new organization when formed. A second purpose will be the combating of an advance in freight rates on walnuts, which has been threatened. California supplies practically all of the English walnuts grown within the United States, and the industry of this section has grown to such proportions that those interested have determined that an organized effort affecting the upbuilding and protection of the industry is now necessary. The marketing is done on a co-operative basis, with a comprehensive system of distribution under the direction of the California Walnut Growers' Association. Secretary and Manager C. Thorpe of the association has sent a circular letter to all the large walnut growers, walnut associations and independent growers, setting forth the purpose of the contemplated protective league, and as soon as a sufficient number of applications for membership have been made, a general meeting will be held here act; Los Angeles state building, $1,000,000; white plague work, $1,000,000; voting by mail; and new prohibition measure, which provides that the manufacture of wine and liquors shall be permitted until January 1, 1916, while all wholesale and retail sales of intoxicating liquors within the state, except for medicinal, scientific, mechanical and sacramental purposes, shall cease on February 15, 1915. CITY AND COUNTY BRIEF'S Miss Hannah Horwitz was visiting in Los Angeles Sunday. Earl Ramella, of the Heyling grocery force, is taking a two-weeks' vacation, spending the time at Long Beach. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Neff returned on Monday morning from a weeks' visit at San Francisco and other points north. Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Duckworth and Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Adams motored to Long Beach Sunday and enjoyed the ocean breeze for a time. Miss Mabel Ziegler was surprised by a score or more young friends dropping into her home unexpectedly Sunday evening. The evening was spent in a sociable and pleasant manner. A cave-in occurred in the pavement at the corner of Olive and Center streets Sunday. A chunk two feet in diameter dropped out of the asphalt surface disclosing a yawning cavity three feet deep beneath the crust. It was caused by the water company's laying a main some time ago and failing to properly fill the excavation. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Head of Bolsa, leave on the steamer Harvard sailing from San Pedro on Sunday for San Francisco, whence they sail on the steamer Sonoma on Tuesday for Honolulu They go on a visit to their daughter, Mrs. Guy Duckworth, and will be absent six months or more.

DEATH LIST ACT VOLUNTARY WILLIAM A. C. IN BED EAST After taking W.

In fact B opinion that he five days as length of time the state in w Baxter however had been heard on Thursday night supposed it erratic in his stay away for time. presumable that an organized effort affecting the upbuilding and protection of the industry is now necessary. The marketing is done on a co-operative basis, with a comprehensive system of distribution under the direction of the California Walnut Growers' Association. Secretary and Manager C. Thorpe of the association has sent a circular letter to all the large walnut growers, walnut associations and independent growers, setting forth the purpose of the contemplated protective league, and as soon as a sufficient number of applications for membership have been made a general meeting will be held for organization. As an argument for a walnut protective league, the case of the Citrus Protective League is cited. The citrus league, it is stated, has never made a single assessment of more than 25 cents per carload of fruit shipped by members. Here are some of the accomplishments, as set out: Reduced the railroad rates on oranges from $1.25 to $1.15, which reduction has amounted to a saving of $6,172,000 to the citrus industry, and is saving the growers about a million dollars annually. Secured a ruling in regard to refrigeration of cars, which is saving $50,000 annually. Kept the lemon rate at $1, thereby saving $250,000 annually, and secured a refund of approximately $845,000. The Citrus Protective League has also maintained an effective fight against tariff reductions and has done much for the benefit of the citrus industry by securing government and state experts to make investigations as to better methods of growing, handling and shipping and combating fungus diseases. All of this has been accomplished, it is pointed out in the circular, at an average cost to members of 60 cents per car per year, or 1½ mills per box, while the saving in freight alone has amounted to 7.2 cents per box, and to the lemon growers 12.6 per box. "There is absolutely no reason," says the circular, "why the walnut men cannot organize as effectually as have the citrus men. A world of good can be done, which will be of equal benefit to all concerned in the walnut business, whether they be independent growers, shippers or associations. It is therefore to be hoped that a general response will be made to this urgent call." POSITIONS ON BALLOT First place on the ballot next November will go to the resolution proposing a constitutional revision convention. This was decided on June 9th by Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan, on whom rests the responsibility of designating positions on the ballot for the many propositions to be voted on by the people. The initiative amendment proposing prohibition will occupy second place on the ballot, the secretary of state being caused by the water company's laying a main some time ago and failing to properly fill the excavation. Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Head of Bolsa, leave on the steamer Harvard sailing from San Pedro on Sunday for San Francisco, whence they sail on the steamer Sonoma on Tuesday for Honolulu. They go on a visit to their daughter, Mrs. Guy Duckworth, and will be absent six months or more. A pulley support on top of the new German American bank building gave way Tuesday morning while a 300-pound block of cement coping was being drawn up. The block came to the ground with a crash and was smashed into small pieces, the scantling following after. Workmen below broke for cover and no one was injured. The county board of education issued teacher's certificates to J. N. Clark of Huntington Park, P. F. Cherrot, Long Beach, and Lana C. Brokaw, Santa Ana. Nine applicants began the examinations. Four of them were disqualified by falling to pass the examination arithmetic. The county school board meets next week to revise the course of study. John Lane Bentz of this city has petitioned the superior court to drop the name of Bentz and take the name of Berringer. The petition, filed by Attorneys Tipton & Callor, states that the petitioner's father deserted him when he was a baby, and left him to his mother to care for. The mother is now dead, and the maternal grandmother's name is Mrs. C. E. Berringer. The Anaheim school board has not yet completed a list of teachers for next year, there still being four or five vacancies. There will be 22 teachers in the schools, just double the force at high school. One new room will be added in the Broadway building which will relieve the congestion in Central school. It is probable, also, that a kindergarten will be conducted in one of the new Broadway rooms. Eighteen members of the Anaheim fire department enjoyed the contents of a Dutch pot last Wednesday evening in the stockholders' room of the water company's building. The pot was prepared under the supervision of Will Wallop and Herman Backs, who have become expert in the art of cookery, and have acquired a reputation especially in the preparation of Dutch pots.

This was decided on June 9th by Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan, on whom rests the responsibility of designating positions on the ballot for the many propositions to be voted on by the people. The initiative amendment proposing prohibition will occupy second place on the ballot, the secretary of state being confident there is more interest in this proposed law than almost any other. Other big measures will receive the following places: Third—Universal eight-hour law. Fourth—Redlight abatement. Fifth—Blue sky. Sixth—Water commission. The redlight abatement, blue sky and water commission laws were enacted by the 1913 legislature, but their operation has been suspended through the medium of the referendum. Secretary Jordan has announced that he proposes to inaugurate a new system whereby each measure on the ballot will be assigned a number. Under this arrangement the constitutional convention proposition will be known as "Proposition No. 1," the prohibition measure "Proposition No. 2," and so on, according to the sequence the measures will have on the ballot. The system of adopting numbers to stand for each measure was conceived to aid those working for the success or defeat of various propositions to exploit them individually to better advantage. Eight initiative measures may be added to the 36 propositions already assured of position on the ballot, if sufficient signatures to the petitions are obtained before early August. They are: Anti-prize fight measure; minimum wage; Sunday rest; motor ve- DEATH BY HIS OWN ACT VERDICT OF CORONER WILLIAM A. CLARK FOUND DEAD IN BED EARLY SATURDAY MORNING VIAL OF STRYCHNINE BY HIS SIDE TOLD UNDOUBTED STORY OF SUICIDE After taking the testimony of George W. Terry and City Marshal Kellenberger over the body of William A. Clark at Backs & Terry's undertaking parlors Saturday morning, Coroner Winbigler decided that the man's death was caused by swallowing a heavy dose of strychnine, taken with sulcidal intent, and that further inquiry was altogether unnecessary. About 8 o'clock Saturday morning Ben Baxter, who lives two miles northeast of town, phoned to Backs & Terry's undertaking establishment that W. A. Clark, a neighbor, who lived alone just opposite the Baxter home, was lying dead in his house. Mr. Terry notified City Marshal Kellenberger and together they went out to the Clark place and found the dead man lying on his bed and in such a state of putridity that it was almost impossible to remain in the house. It was evident the man had been dead several days. In fact Mr. Terry gave it as his opinion that he had been dead at least five days as it would require that length of time to reduce the body to the state in which it was found. Mr. Baxter however, stated that someone had been heard driving into the yard on Thursday night and he and his family supposed it to be Clark. As he was erratic in his movements and would stay away for two or three days at a time, presumably on a spree, little at LOOKING FORWARD TO BIG FESTIVAL Pioneer Week Expected to Eclipse All Previous Celebrations Pioneer day, or, rather, pioneer week, if carried out as conceived in the minds of its board of trade promoters, will be one the biggest celebrations ever held in Orange county. It will celebrate the 57th anniversary of the formation of the Los Angeles Vineyard Company, in September, 1857, which founded Anaheim, although it was not until four months later that the colony received its name. According to the plans now being worked out the festivities will begin on Monday, September 7, and a week of carnival will follow. Two holidays appear in the calendar for this week, being Labor day and Admission day, which is the reason that particular week was chosen. A committee of perhaps half a hundred live efflens will be selected to promote the affair and provide entertainment for visitors and natives. It is already decided that a street fair will be one of the attractions: A clean and high-class line of entertainments will be provided by the committee. FOOT CRUSHED On Tuesday night a large barn on the N. H. McCuistion place at Talbert was destroyed by fire. A number of farming implements were burned up in the flames. The origin of the fire, which seemed to have started in the center of the building, which had been reconstructed from a former dwelling, is not known. A distressing feature of the fire was an accident to Mrs. Robert McCuistion, wife of the son of the owner. The Robert McCuistions are at present in charge of the ranch. While assisting in carrying articles out of the burning barn, a falling post dropped on Mrs. Of the California citrus industry an expert statistician of the United States Department of Agriculture said: "The citrus growers' organizations have given the country better fruit without increasing the cost to the consumer, and at the same time have increased their profits." Mr. Gildea Gives Version Of Accident Well Known Citizen Writes Concerning Automobile Collision in Center of Town Editor Gazette: I want to give my side of the accident that happened on Saturday, June 20. I was coming east on Center street, and wanted to turn north on Los Angeles street. When I got at the turn an express wagon drove in ahead of me, so I had to make a longer turn to get around behind it. I wanted to go slow so that the wagon would have time to get out of my way. When I reached the sand pile I heard some person say, "Look out there!" Then I saw a man on the street step back in front of the machine. The fender over the front wheel struck him in the back; he leaned back and then fell over in front of the machine and was pushed along on the pavement for 9 or 10 feet. The machine did not run over him. At the sanitarium he was stripped and I could not see a bruise on him. Some say I was looking at the bank building but it is not so. I saw the man at the sanitarium and said to him: "If you had not stepped back you would not have been hit." "Well," he said, "when they yelled 'look out!' I stepped back." Now, when I saw the man step in front of the machine I was so shocked that I was paralyzed. I did not even push on the brake or throw the machine out of gear until it was too late. I told a man I would not suffer such another shock, if I could help it, for a thousand dollars. In fact, I wouldn't farm implements were burned up in the flames. The origin of the fire, which seemed to have started in the center of the building, which had been reconstructed from a former dwelling, is not known. A distressing feature of the fire was an accident to Mrs. Robert McCulston, wife of the son of the owner. The Robert McCulstons are at present in charge of the ranch. While assisting in carrying articles out of the burning barn, a falling post dropped on Mrs. M.Culston's right foot, literally crushing it. Dr. Violett of Garden Grove, was called and the badly injured foot was soon taken care of. It is now in a plaster cast, but recovery will probably be slow.

After her arrest Clark went "bughouse," as the neighbors described it, became melancholy, morose, uncommunicative and went on frequent sprees. His coming and going was uncertain. The testimony of Messrs. Terry and Kellenberger before the coroner was practically the same. Mr. Kellenberger stated that he had known Clark pretty well. In fact he was known to the police department because of his tendency to drink heavily but he had only one arrest charged against him. Some weeks ago he was notified by neighbors that Nina Croft, Clark's wife, was insane. He went out to the place and found her sitting up in bed in a raving condition. Clark was not at home at the time, being off on a two-day's spree and the woman was alone. She was taken to Santa Ana and subsequently sent to the asylum. On his return home and finding his wife gone, Clark became melancholy and continued to drink, being at home only a small portion of the time. They believe he was unbalanced, either because of his inordinate use of liquor or through grief for his wife's condition. In the meantime the ranch, which was the property of Mrs. Clark before her marriage, is being looked after by neighbors. There is stock on the place and the cultivated ground is in potatoes. It will probably be necessary to establish the marrage of Mrs. Croft and Clark before an administrator is appointed. W. H. Fleshman, wanted in San Diego, where it is said he has defrauded a number of merchants and business men out of several hundred dollars by a unique bunco scheme, was arrested on a train at Anahalm Friday afternoon and taken to Los Angeles. Detective Jose Lopez of San Diego, who trailed the man to this city, effected the arrest. According to Lopez, Fleshman represented himself as an agent for the Western States Business Gazetteer, said to be a fictitious publication, and made a number of advertising contracts among San Diego firms. Misses Catharine Hiles and Olive Chambers were visitors in Los Angeles Wednesday. ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH Services Sunday, July 5th, the fourth Sunday after Trinity, at St. Michael's Episcopal church, corner of Emily and Adele streets, Rev. David Todd Gillimor, rector, will be: 9:45 A.M., church school and adult Bible classes; 11 A.M., holy communion and sermon by Rev. H. J. Camp. There will be no evening services during July and August. A. W. Thomas and Frank Goodrich, with their wives, went down to San Juan Capistrano Saturday evening, staying over Sunday. They bagged two snacks of abalone. Thomas came home with a lame leg; the result, he says, of an overgrown abalone jumping out of the water and striking him just below the knee. He is still limping as a result. Goodrich was bitten on the finger by a salt water eel, which left a couple of gashes and giving him a sore digit.

Center St. Pacific Tel. 202 Of the California citrus industry an expert statistician of the United States Department of Agriculture said: "The citrus growers' organizations have given the country better fruit without increasing the cost to the consumer, and at the same time have increased their profits." The stability of the California citrus industry, which, as has been said, represents an investment of $200,000,000 is the one element which commends the growing of citrus products to the man who wishes to live an outdoor life and who does not care to make too great an investment or who does not wish to be an agricultural slave, as it were. Work in a citrus grove is pleasant. Profits are practically assured. And this may be said of almost every industry in California. There are 10,000 farmers engaged in the culture of citrus fruit, and 20,000 laborers are directly employed. A total of 150,000 persons depend directly or indirectly on the California citrus industry for a livelihood. The average yearly value of the citrus crop on board the cars at loading stations is $30,000,000. According to the last United States census, the number of citrus trees in California increased 39.8 per cent in ten years, and the production increased 155.6 per cent. The California citrus industry is growing in like fashion every year. Other parts of the United States and foreign countries are making frantic efforts to catch up. The total area in California devoted to citrus culture in 1913 was 191,357 acres. Of this area 122,642 is in bearing trees. Of the total citrus area, 141,729 acres, bearing and non-bearing, are located in Southern California.

Los Angeles county alone there are 48,454 acres, bearing and non-bearing. San Bernardino county is next, with 42,794 acres. In Los Angeles the total in bearing trees is 31,002 acres. The total production in California is given in the last United States census as 17,192,401 boxes from a total of 7,557,098 trees. The average yearly shipments total from all parts of California more than 50,000 carloads, and from Southern California alone more than 40,000 carloads. The normal production of the entire United States is approximately 78,000 carloads. The first shipments of oranges from California were made in 1873. The shipments were small and no records are available. In 1887, when citrus growing began to develop on a substantial scale, California shipped 2,212 carloads of oranges and lemons. All this fruit was grown in Southern California. Of the shipments, twelve carloads were lemons and the balance oranges. Of the 50,000 carloads which is the normal yield of California today, about 7,500 carloads are lemons. The case of Pasqual Gulteas, charged with stealing a wagon at Stanton, was before the Justice court at Santa Ana Monday, and although an effort was made to postpone the case as an important witness is in jail in Los Angeles, yet the attorney for the defense made the point that he had come a long way to try the case and objected to any postponement. The Justice finally proceeded with the case and sent for the incarcerated witness, Under Sheriff Law going to the Angel City for the man. A jury in Los Angeles has actually convicted a buno man in that city, and it is better late than never. Now that a start has been made, it is to be hoped that the work will continue, for Los Angeles surely has more buno men to the square inch than any other city in the world. It is the dumping ground of fakers, and they are classed under various heads, but all with the same object in view, to beat some poor unsuspecting person out of their hard-earned savings.
