Kent of Garden Grove on trial in the Superior court, with Judge Z. B. West presiding, charged with the murder of I. O. Wilson, a real estate dealer of Santa Ana, was acquitted by a jury Friday after deliberating for one hour and forty minutes. The verdict was not unexpected, for the defense had some features of contention that seemed hard to overcome. The very theory of reasonable doubt rose up at every point of contact between prosecution and defense. Of six physicists called none could say positively what was the cause of death. Two said they believed it was the result of a blow, and the others that they believed death was due to senile epilepsy. It was a case of where the defendant had the benefit of reasonable doubt as to the cause of death, as well as to the cause of injury. Upon the injuries received by Wilson there was controversy. The prosecution’s witnesses declared Wilson was struck a blow downward with the rake. Mr. and Mrs. Kent said Kent merely reached out and with the rake pulled Wilson back so that he could not strike Mrs. Kent. Instructions were read by Judge West, and at 3:40 o’clock the jury returned. thirty to sixty days vast orders for equipment for 1,000,000 more English, 1,000,000 more Russian and 600,000 more French soldiers will come to this country. Aside from the warring countries, Sweden promises to enter the market for American goods on a scale never before equaled. Requirements of the country cover a wide variety of products. Raw goods for textiles are among goods wanted, as well as motor vehicles, oils, leather goods, naval stores, paints, drugs, essential oils, cotton grain, wool, groceries, copper, lead nickery, ash and tobacco. The trade between the United States and Sweden has shown a decided increase since the war began. In the three months ended October 31 exports compared as follows. Month 1914 1913 August $104,614 $510,536 September 583,645 539,870 October 2,915,119 992,764 OUR CITRUS CROP Figures for Orange County Show Big Increase During the Year Orange county is living up to its name. With the Valencia season closed and the preparations for the inauguration of navels begun, it is a fitting time to balance the books and determine just how much Orange county’s oranges and lemons have been worth during the last month. Through statistics secured from the co-operative exchanges and from independent shipers, it is ascertained that $4,000,000 is the amount received for citrus fruits day, to fittingly celebrate the swinging open of the gates of the marvellous exposition which San Diego has built. One notable feature of the great celebration to be held in San Diego at the time of the opening of the San Diego Exposition, on January 1st, will be a parade of automobiles in the afternoon or that day, when from the number of entries already in, promises to be the longest parade ever seen on the Pacific coast. Automobile parties from every city and town in Southern California and from many cities in Arizona, are being formed at the present time, and plans are being laid for the pilgrimages to San Diego. Each of the cities will provide canners, pennants and flags for the decoration of the automobiles, and the committee in charge of the celebration in San Diego will provide parking spaces for the machines upon their arrival in San Diego. It is expected that all of the automobile parties will reach San Diego on December 31, in order that the members be able to take part in the New Year's eve festivities, and attend the ceremonials at midnight, when the lights of the exposition are to be turned on by President Wilson, who will touch a button in the White House and when the great key of the exposition will be turned over to President Davidson by the builders of the exposition, with appropriate ceremonies. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon of January 1 the great automobile parade will be formed on the downtown streets of San Diego. It will be divided into sections, each city or town represented having its section, in which automobiles from that particular place, bearing banners, pennants and flags announcing whence they came, will be placed. The Automobile Club of Southern California is taking an active part in the preparations for this grand spectacle, and its members have been asked to aid in securing the attendance of as many automobile parties as possible on this occasion. Military and naval organizations will head the monster parade to be seen on the morning of January 2nd. Officers and men from the U.S. warships in the harbor, artillerymen from Fort Rosecrans, naval militia and companies of state troops will be in line. Special events will be staged on the grounds of the exposition during the afternoon, and at night a grand carnival will be held on the Isthmus. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY NOT RESTRICTED TO PUBLIC LANDS In the thirty-fifth annual report of the United States Geological Survey, made public last week, Geo. Otis Smith the director, discusses particularly the province of the Federal survey. An amendment which was offered in congress to last year's appropriation bill would if passed, have restricted the geologic work of the survey to the public lands. As the amendment failed the only result was to attract more attention to the basic investigative work $6,000,000 MOTOR ORDER PROMISED U. S. BY ALLIES Business Conditions Further Improved by Immense Exports to Europe Further evidence of increasing business in the United States as a result of the European war is contained in dispatches from Detroit, which quoted Capt. W. R. Eaton of the British army as authority for the statement that a new order for 3000 motor trucks for Russia, France and England will soon be placed in the United States. The value of the order is estimated at $6,000,000. Captain Eaton is quoted as saying that the total number of motor trucks for which orders have thus far been placed in this country since the outbreak of war is about 5500, valued at $16,119,000. According to Captain Eaton, within Orange county is living up to its name. With the Valencia season closed and the preparations for the amusement of navels begun, it is a fitting time to balance the books and determine just how much Orange county's oranges and lemons have been worth during the last month. Through statistics secured from the co-operative exchanges and from independent shipers, it is ascertained that $4,000,000 is the amount received for citrus fruits grown in this county and shipped since this time last year. Of all varieties of oranges there were 4435 carloads shipped in the last year, and 366 carloads of lemons. The increase over the previous year was 695 carloads of oranges and 166 of lemons. The most noteworthy feature of the history of the citrus fruit industry of recent years is the determination that Orange county is essentially the home of the Valencia orange, shipments of which begin in May and end in November. Practically all of the new orange groves are of that variety. At present there are 20,605 acres of citrus fruits in Orange county, of which 7765 are in bearing Valencias, 9253 acres in navels, Mediocranean sweets, St. Michael's and other oranges, and 2249 acres in lemons. It is significant that there are now in county 6786 acres of non-bearin Valencias. Each year a goodly percentage of that acreage will come into bearing, and the output of oranges will be increased each year. Trees four years old or under are referred to as non-bearing, though as a matter of fact, some fruit is picked even from trees three years old. About 400 acres of Valencias were planted in the last two years. The bright and healthy appearance of the groves is commented upon by citrus men as the best they have ever known anywhere. The trees are in excellent condition. Experts declare that Orange county's orchards were never cleaner than now. Schmidt and Knirsch report the sale of several planes to local buyers during the past week.
