BOY'S BOUND OVER FOR EXPRESS ROBBERY Looted Car on the Santa Fe, Arrested at Fullerton Several neckties alleged to have been stolen from boxes in an express car by Frank Becker and Joe Falton were concealed in mattresses on which they slept in the Fullerton jail. This was disclosed at the preliminary hearing of the two in the justices court at Santa Ana. The defendants are charged with robbing an American Railway express car between Chicago and Fullerton. They were arrested at Fullerton. Santa Fe Detective Joe Murrillo told of finding the neckwear concealed in mattresses at the Fullerton jail several days after Becker and Falton had been taken to the county jail. The prisoners told the officers, Murillo said, that they had hidden the ties in the mattresses. Other articles alleged to have been stolen from the express car by the defendants were exhibited in court. Among these were three fancy squirrel scarfs, six pairs of women's stockings, several dresses and a pair of shoes. Leon Vanhorten, traveling loss and damage supervisor for the American Railway express, the first witness called, told of examining the express car upon its arrival in Los Angeles. The car, he said, was N..Y. C. 3188, a through car billed from New York City to Los Angeles. It arrived in Los Angeles February 23, and, according to Vanhorten, the screen over the ventilator on top of the car had been removed and the interior condition of the car showed that human beings had occupied it. Vanhorten said that the contents the Orange county fruit was not injured at all by the cold wave. Hamilton advised that not more than per cent of last year's crop handled by the organization is on hand at this time. The fruit is moving fast now and he predicted that the old crop will have been sold and consumed before the 1921 crop is ready for marketing. Hamilton lives at Santa Paula and is Southern California representative on the board of directors of the grower organization. There was a fair attendance of growers at the meeting Thursday night, with a number of them signing for membership. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Franchise under the application of La Habra Domestic Water company, was sold to them for $100.00. Ordinance granting said franchise to be adopted April 19th, 1921. Bids were opened for the improvement of West Fifth street, second road district. The bid of Wells & Bressler, of $23,120.38 being the lowest responsible bid, contract was awarded them. It was ordered that map of tract No. 128 be received and referred to the city engineer of the city of Orange. The resignation of H. A. Condra, justice of the peace, Los Alamitos township was presented and same was accepted. The purchasing agent was authorized to purchase one Mosler safe for the county treasurer's office. W. L. Rideout was appointed justice of the peace for Placentia township for the unexpired term. R. H. Cavitt was appointed constable for Placentia township for the unexpired term. The chairman was authorized to great change during clally in reducing was a considerable part o between these amounts its way into the garb. Perhaps the most nature of the domestic recent years has been the production and veal. The demand has caused a steady rise for the last six years keted in 1920 more number in 1914 and Sheep and lamb marked by consider The slaughter was given to 1914, after which three years, then in years, and in 1920 ago. Exports and import lamb have been almost last year, when N. lamb carcasses were quantities, making trade. The total we ing the year was nearly one-fifth of production of both countries.

Railway express, the first witness called, told of examining the express car upon its arrival in Los Angeles. The car, he said, was N..Y. C. 3188, a through car billed from New York City to Los Angeles. It arrived in Los Angeles February 23, and, according to Vanhorten, the screen over the ventilator on top of the car had been removed and the interior condition of the car showed that human beings had occupied it. Vanhorten said that the contents had been scattered about the floor and that several packages had been ransacked. The witness also said that he found two rubber heels. These heels, it is alleged, were later identified as belonging to one of the boys. They became detached from his shoes and a new set of heels was put on the shoes by a Fullerton cobbler. This was the testimony of another witness, Joe Murillo, who found the cobbler that repaired the shoe. Murillo also said that one of the boys admitted losing the rubber heels after he had confronted with them. Other witnesses against the boys were F. L. Crane, special agent for the American Railway express, and Fred Vollmer, Santa Fe detective. They told of making an examination of the car in Los Angeles and of checking up on the articles missed. The allied stolen goods were recovered by the officers at a point on the Santa Fe called Gypsum. The boys, according to the authorities, made two bundles of the stolen goods and threw them out of the car at Gypsum, intending to recover them later. When the car arrived in Los Angeles and the railway detectives discovered that it had been looted a phone message was given to the agent at Fulerton. It is understood that the crew of the train, of which the express car was a part, saw two boys leave one of the baggage cars at Fulerton, and they suspected that they were still in that city. Officer Murrillo searched the railroad yards and found them. They were taken before Justice of the Peace French at Fulerton, after spending the night in jail, and sentenced to thirty days in the county jail on charges of vagrancy. The burglary complaints were filed against the two youths while they were serving the sentence. Following the preliminary hearing Justice of the Peace Cox bound the boys over to the superior court with bail fixed at $2000 each. There was less meat produced, less exported, and less consumed in the United States last year (1920) than in either of the two previous years, although the consumption in 1919 and 1920 varied but little, the great change being in the exports. These and other facts are brought out in a series of tables recently compiled by the bureau of animal industry, showing the annual status of the meat situation for the calendar years 1907 to 1920, inclusive. The data for each year included: The total slaughter which is divided into federally inspected and justice of the peace, Los Alamitos township was presented and same was accepted. The purchasing agent was authorized to purchase one Mosler safe for the county treasurer's office. W. L. Rideout was appointed justice of the peace for Placentia township for the unexpired term. R. H. Cavitt was appointed constable for Placentia township for the unexpired term. The chairman was authorized to approve bond on map tract No. 128, and said map was accepted as to the official plotting of said tract. County Engineer was instructed to prepare plans and specifications for the improvement of South Glassel and Grand avenue, in the Fourth road district. The county auditor was authorized to draw a warrant in favor of Santh Ana Chamber of Commerce for $300, payable out of advertising fund. It was ordered that $25,000.00 second Liberty Loan Converted Bonds 4-1-4 per cent be advertised for sale, for Tuesday, April 19, 1921, at 10:00 a.m. The county engineer was authorized and instructed to request contractor for West Fifth street and Garden Grove avenue, to lay same amount of paving on Fairview and Chapman avenue, which was to be laid on West Fifth street and Garden Grove avenue. The Petition for the incorporation of Placentia came on regularly for hearing. Owing to irregularity of the petition, the objections to the petition were sustained, and no further proceedings to be had on such petition. County Engineer was instructed to prepare plans and specifications for a circular concrete tank, capacity not less than 100,000 gallons, to be installed at the county farm. THE MEAT SITUATION IN 1920 There was less meat produced, less exported, and less consumed in the United States last year (1920) than in either of the two previous years, although the consumption in 1919 and 1920 varied but little, the great change being in the exports.

G. Hamilton at a meeting of apricot growers Thursday night at Santa Ana. Reorganization will not be attempted unless seventy-five per cent of the acreage in the state is represented the organization. Belief was expressed that the acreage needed in the county to make the seventy-five per cent needed can be easily secured by work among old members. Hamilton and Field Representative Powell were soliciting old members for renewal of their membership. Blanks are available at the office of the Farm Bureau. There are about 800 acres of 'cots in this county and according to growers the crop for 1921 will be about the same as that of 1920, when approximately fifteen carloads were shipped. Crops on older trees were damaged by rains, and will be light. Younger trees will produce good yields. Hamilton stated that the crop in some parts of the state was badly damaged by the cold snap of a few days ago. So far as could be agreed, great change during this time, especially in reducing waste, and doubtless a considerable part of the difference between these amounts formerly found its way into the garbage can. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the domestic meat situation in recent years has been the increase in the production and consumption of veal. The demand for calf products has caused a steady increase each year for the last six years, and calves marketed in 1920 more than doubled the number in 1914 and 1915. Sheep and lamb slaughter was marked by considerable irregularity. The slaughter was greatest from 1911 to 1914, after which it declined for three years, then increased for two years, and in 1920 again declined. Exports and imports of mutton and lamb have been almost negligible until last year, when New Zealand frozen lamb carcasses were imported in large quantities, making an epoch in the trade. The total weight imported during the year was 101,000,000 pounds, nearly one-fifth of the total domestic production of both mutton and lamb. Consumption of mutton and lamb in the United States is only about six pounds per person per annum and is very small compared to beef and pork. It is smaller even than veal, of which about eight pounds per person is consumed. Pork production in 1920 fell considerably below the high record made in 1919 when marketings were unusually large, owing to the high prices prevailing during a part of that year, including the highest ever paid for live hogs. Nevertheless, the consumption of pork was slightly greater in 1920 because of the heavy decrease in exports. The exports of bacon and hams fell off more than one-half, the totals for these items in round figures being 1- 2600 NEW MEMBERS FARM BUREAU GOAL Postponement of the establishment of a Farm Bureau chemical laboratory to test barnyard fertilizers for price determination on the analysis basis was decided at the meeting of the Farm Bureau directors at the county office Friday afternoon. The fact that many commercial laboratories are well equipped and conveniently located and can handle the work at a minimum cost is said to have led to this action on the part of the directors. It was suggested that a man be employed to take the samples and keep the records, after chemical analysis is made by commercial laboratories. Public utilities questions were discussed by Sidney Saunby, of Tustin, who gave a detailed report of the railroad commission's investigations of the Edison Electric company rates. A. L. Lovelace, membership campaign manager for the California State Farm Bureau Federation, outlined the details of his plan fo ra two weeks' campaign in Orange county. A quota of 2600 members has been set by Lovelace as Orange county's quota in the drive for 100,000 Farm Bureau members in California. H. B. Woodrough reported for the legislative committee stating that the fertilizer bill providing changes in the present law calling for the analysis basis for fertilizer prices, had passed the senate and would probably become a law. Woodrough also said that the telephone bill permitting mutual telephone systems had been sidetracked in comte rd would probably be killed there. Two delegates to the Associated Chambers of Commerce were elected. They were Earl E. Campbell, of Or- The directors decided that the proposed Fullerton Farm Bureau office should not be established at the present time and the matter was dropped temporarily. A copy of the first issue of the Orange County Farm Bureau monthly publication, for April, is to be sent to every member of the organization during the first week in May. C. H. Moogkins, of the employment department of the California Citrus exchange, outline da plan of organiza-tion for a county labor bureau which was taken under advisement. Plans for a farm picnic on May 14, were made and committees appointed to take charge of various phases of the work. I. L. Marchant, of Tustin, and S. H. Bowman, of Cypress, were named for the food committee; W. W. Perry, of Villa Park, is to have charge of the seating. DRAFTING EXPERIENCE Since the designation of Myron T. Herrick a sambassador to France depends on a favorable answer by that nation as to his acceptibility, the appointment may be regarded as settled. France gave Mr. Herrick the Cross of the Legion of Honor as an expression of gratitude for the services he rendered in the early days of the war. It is inconceivable, therefore, that they would reject him now. It is not often, at least, that an ambassador is returned to hl's former post after an interim, so that Mr. Herrick enjoys an unusual honor. His record as ambassador was such as to unite thе French closer to us. He had been permitted to linger on his post after President Wilson entered the white house and happened to be still there when the war broke out. When Paris was alarmed by the onrush of German and the government madе a Pork production in 1920 fell considerably below the high record made in 1919 when marketings were unusually large, owing to the high prices prevailing during a part of that year, including the highest ever paid for live hogs. Nevertheless, the consumption of pork was slightly greater in 1920 because of the heavy decrease in exports. The exports of bacon and hams fell off more than one half, the totals for these two items in round figures being 1,787,000,000 pounds sent abroad in 1919 and 822,000,000 in 1920. The exports of lard, however, almost held their own, decreasing only 20 per cent. This was because Germany, our second best customer for this commodity, was again in the market for quantity and took 128,000,000 pounds, which was within less than 1,000,000 pounds of the total taken by the United Kingdom, always the chief consumer. DENIED NEW TRIAL Word was received Saturday that Percy R. Stock, convicted of forgery in the Orange county superior court on September 13, 1920, has been denied a new trial by department No. 2 of the district court of appeal. The appeal court held that while the bailiff in charge of the jury stepped out of sight of the body for a few minutes when taking the prisoner to the county jail to await the verdict this was not sufficient ground to warrant a new trial, although this is a technical violation of the law. Stock now is serving an indeterminate term of from one to fourteen years in the state prison at San Quentin, the sentence being passed upon him by Superior Judge R. Y. Williams. Stock was employed by an advertising agency in Santa Ana and claimed to be a decorative artist by trade. He was convicted of passing a forged check on the Murray Baking company, of Los Angeles. The name of J. N. Rushton, of Anaheim, was signed on the check, which was drawn on the Farmers' and Merchants' bank of Los Angeles. Stock was convicted of passing a fictitious check in this county in 1912 and another in San Diego county in 1919. Stock also escaped from the Washington state prison several years before coming to California. fertilizer bill providing changes in the present law calling for the analysis basis for fertilizer prices, had passed the senate and would probably become a law.

This country has not surrendered its rights and interests under certain arrangements made without our sanction as to the island of Yap, the Mesopotamian oil fields and similar matters. This country is not going to surrender such rights and interests under the unauthorized decisions of allotments of anybody else whatsoever. Such arrangements that may be undertaken by the allied council and the league will not hold. Such arrangements that have been made under a misapprehension on their part that we were willing to surrender our rights and interests do not hold. This position of the United States government, now stated definitely and with finality, will be maintained squarely. He stayed on the job and was of great assistance in calming the excitement in those troubling days. It is the enviable record he made during his previous service. No doubt that, influenced President Harding in returning him to Paris. In these times of reconstruction service is needed and one who has had the experience of Mr. Herrick is the kind of a man needed in such an important post. The appointment is in keeping with the policy of the new administration.
