HAROLD POWELL DEAD Citrus growers throughout southern California were grieved to learn of the sudden death of G. Harold Powell, for many years manager of the California Fruit Growers' exchange. Mr. Powell, perhaps the most widely known of all men interested in the growing and marketing of crops, died of heart failure late last Saturday evening at a dinner party at the Hotel Maryland, Pasadena. The funeral services were simple and private, in accordance with the belief of those in charge that sufficient accommodations could not be found for the large number of friends who would attend a public funeral. Prior to managing, for ten years, the California Fruit Growers' exchange, Mr. Powell was connected with the United States department of agriculture. Mr. Powell admitted upon his return a week ago from a strenuous three weeks in Washington that his activities as chairman at the national agricultural conference had called heavily upon his physical resources. In his official capacity at the nation's capital Mr. Powell was able to wield a great influence in the direction of the Beatty Oil company. Later the lease was modified by the lessors and at the same time the oil company sold 'Scott an option on its purchase at $10,000. Scott did not fulfill the terms of the option. In the present suit, the plaintiffs declare that the lessees did not meet the terms of the lease with regard to drilling. The Beatty Oil company contends that, under the modified terms, they were not required to do any drilling; also that Scott never took advantage of his option to purchase back the lease and that they are therefore invited to meet for picnic reunion, a March 4th, in Syracuse, Los Angeles. Com can and spend the We will have court headquarters so you neighbors even will present. There will be a b ing about two o'clock purpose will be to Hon Milton Bryan Mr. Powell admitted upon his return a week ago from a strenuous three weeks in Washington that his activities as chairman at the national agricultural conference had called heavily upon his physical resources. In his official capacity at the nation's capital Mr. Powell was able to wield a great influence in the direction of shaping the sentiment of the agricultural conference in favor of laws which would permit farmers and fruit growers to combine for mutual benefit in growing and marketing of their crops. Mr. Powell was chairman of two important committees of the All-Year club of Los Angeles, besides being a member of two fraternities and various farm clubs and societies. His widow, Mrs. Gertrude E. Clark Powell, and three sons, H. Clark Powell, who is a senior in the University of California; George T. Powell, who is attending Stanford; Lawrence C. Powell, and his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. George T. Powell, of South Pasadena, survive him.

CASE SETTLED IN CULT LEADER'S WILL William Wiederhold, 76, of Placentia, was Friday permitted to assume administration of the estate that W. L. Thales, founder of a religious cult that flourished at Placentia thirty years ago, left to his followers. Objections to Wiederhold as administrator were withdrawn from court by his wife, Mathilda Wiederhold, who had at first questioned his competency. A petition seeking the appointment of Public Administrator C. D. Brown in Wiederhold's stead was also withdrawn. Judge West granted letters of administration to Wiederhold and also allowed his petition for probate of the Thales will, which disposed of an estate valued at approximately $20,000. The Wiederholds are among the legates under the will. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Thursday to Sunday MARY PICKFORD IN "LITTLE LORD FAUNTLEROY" The picture that has won everybody's heart.
