G. Wright, prominent resident of Fullerton, and former resident of Anaheim, is unconscious at the Anaheim hospital, where he is suffering from a double fracture of the skull, sustained in a fall at Huntington Beach, Saturday. No improvement has been noted in his condition since the fall, which occurred when he slipped on a stairway in a store building in the beach city, and fell backward. Unless the patient's condition shows improvement shortly, Mrs. Wright expects to summon a brain specialist from Los Angeles to assist with his treatment. According to Mrs. Wright, this is the third serious head injury which Mr. Wright has suffered in the past few years. A year ago he was badly cut about the eyes and nose in an automobile accident, and six years ago COMES TO AN END AT MIDNIGHT SUNDAY Most Successful of All Shows, According to the Managers; Features More Elaborate and Beautiful Than Ever Before; Packing Contest for World's Championship One of Most Attractive Features of Show WINDING up with a Mardi Gras pageant and a musical concert, the Eighth Annual California Valencia Orange Show came to an end at midnight Sunday. For eleven days it was an attraction that drew tens of thousands of people from all points of the compass, from every county of California, and from nearly every state in the Union. This show was the most successful from every standpoint of any yet presented. For the beauty of its design and decorations, the character of its exhibits, and for size, it surpassed all previous efforts. Many thousands of dollars were spent on the feature exhibits, and they were works of art. Pomona and San Diego carried off the two first prizes. Pomona for a creation without mechanical action, and San Diego for a feature with mechanical movement, but they were so closely pressed by others that it was difficult to make a decision. It is said that six million oranges were used in the decorations and displays, and at the price they are selling at now this represented a value of tens of thousands of dollars. The orange packing contest was a feature that attracted much attention, as thousands of visitors had never before seen the deft-fingered girls at work, wrapping the fruit and boxing it for its long journey to the eastern market. Mrs. Raymond Anderson, a packer in the Tom Anderson citrus house at Lindsay, was proclaimed as world's champion orange packer and awarded the Brogdex Company. Los Angeles, silver loving cup and more than $200 in cash prizes on the stage of the orange show, as the second annual world's championship orange packing contest came to a close. Miss Marjorie Richards of the Red Fox Orchards Association, Orange, took second place, winning $50 in gold and numerous other side prizes, and Miss Nora Myerhoff of the Olive Fruit Company, Olive, placed third, winning $30 in gold and several side awards. The Los Angeles Evening Express loving cup, for the house entering the team making the best record in the contest, was captured by the Tom Anderson house of Lindsay.

Mrs. Raymond Anderson and Miss Nellie Soules composed the winning team. This cup was won by the Red Fox Orchards, Orange, last year and must be won three successive times to remain in the permanent possession of any one house. Announcement of prize winners in the fancy orange packing contest featured the closing program Sunday night. Mrs. H. W. Pierce, of the Anaheim Cooperative Association, was awarded first with an Aladdin lamp design. She was presented with a silver trophy and $75. Second prize of $50 went to Raymond Anderson of the American Fruit Growers, Lindsay, for a floral design. Miss Marjorie Richards of the Red Fox Orchards-packing house, Orange, last year's world champion orange packer, took third with another Aladdin lamp design, and Marion Cole of the Olive Heights Citrus Association, Olive, placed fourth with an American flag design. Honorable mention went to Mabel Weaver of the American Fruit Growers, Lindsay, for her picturization of George W. Reid, manager of the Valencia show, and to Clara Yearout of the Betz Packing Company, Olive, for her airplane design. "We." The managers are delighted over the success of this show, and are already discussing plans for next year. Attendance at the show this year aggregated 95,000 or slightly less than last year's record of approximately 100,000. "While our attendance record this year was slightly less than last year's total, it is still justifiable to say that this year's show was the most successful ever staged here." Manager Reid declared. "Attendance is not the only matter to be considered in measuring the success of an exhibition of this kind." In the first place this year's show was the most successful from an artistic standpoint and certainly does not take second place in the results obtained by exhibitors in the industrial and automobile tents. "This is the third year that a central motif has been used for the displays in the feature tent, but it is the first that adherence to this motif has been complete and almost entirely free from commercialism. The communities and organizations entering exhibits in the feature tent co-operated to the fullest extent towards making the display a thoroughly unified artistic success, centralized harmoniously around the central theme of 'Aladdin and His Lamp.'"

WM. SCHUMACHER Newspaper Men For Schumacher Meet at Elks Club and Endorse Present Chairman of Board Chairman William Schumacher of the Orange county board of supervisors was the guest of the newspapers men of the third supervisorial district at a dinner given in his honor Wednesday evening at the Anaheim Elks Club. Following laudatory talks by representatives of the papers, the gathering unanimously congratulated Supervisor Schumacher on his decision announced that afternoon, to file for renomination and assured him of their loyal support in the coming campaign. Chairman Schumacher's candidacy has already received widespread endorsement from other quarters. In every case endorsement has been based mainly upon three considerations: his record in office; his commanding position on the board of supervisors; and the value of his long experience as supervisor. Schumacher's record particularly since he became chairman of the board with increased influence upon the shaping of county business policies. Has been highly constructive. His leadership in reorganization of the road department has already saved thousands of dollars; not only to the third district; but to the entire county. Schumacher's successful fight for a revision of county highway policies and a more equitable distribution of road money is still fresh in the mind of his district and elsewhere. It came shortly after he became chairman of the board and announced his determination to work for an apportionment of the $250,000 annually collected by the county as gasoline tax that would be fair to all districts. Under the existing plan, Santa Ana claimed and received one-fifth of the money as the first supervisorial district; though there were no county roads in the district. Other cities now participate in the distribution of funds. Schumacher's determined fight for an equitable distribution of the gas tax over all county roads overcame bitter opposition from Santa Ana interests and resulted in establishment PETITIONS FOR NOMINATION AT PRIMARY North End of County Interested Mainly in Contest for Supervisor; Two Candidates Will Enter Race Against William Schumacher; It is Reported; County Seat Ring Trying to Defeat Him; It Is Rumored A NUMBER of candidates who will contest for nomination for the various offices in the primary election on August 28 are circulating their petitions; but several others will take out their nominating papers later. Supervisors are to be elected this fall in the first and third districts. Orange county will elect an assemblyman; and the thirty-ninth senatorial district; composed of Orange. Riverside; and San Bernardino counties; will elect a senator. Two American Legion men are contending for assemblyman. They are Ted Craig of Brea; and Harry Westover of Santa Ana. Senator Chester Kline of San Jacinto will have two Orange county men pitted against him in the primary; it is reported. They are Dr. C. D. Ball of Santa Ana; present assemblyman; but who declines to stand for re-election; and Nels Edwards of Orange. But the people of northern Orange county are chiefly interested in the supervisorial battle. William Schumacher who has been representative on the board from this district for many years and is now chairman of that body; is a candidate to succeed himself; but two others who have fixed covetous eyes on the job will oppose him. They are D. A. Linecharger of Fullerton; and William H. Kennedy of Stanton. It is believed; however; that Schumacher is so strongly fortified by the splendid record he has made that he is unassailable and will win the fight easily. Mr. Schumacher's determined stand to protect the interests of the districts outside the city of Santa Ana has won him the enmity of a political ring in that city which has been in the habit of dominating county politics; and which found itself checkmated in its efforts to secure concessions for the county seat to which they were not entitled under the law. For this reason he has incurred the displeasure of the ring which it is claimed; making an effort to defeat him; and is attempting to bring pressure to bear against him. That the people of this district; who have reaped so many benefits from his honest and efficient service will be influenced by propaganda from outside the district than Schumacher; and no man who could be elected to the position would be more efficient in serving it. Two Badly Injured Evangelistic Meetings Hold Large Audiences The evangelistic campaign being conducted by Evangelist S. Earl Childers and Song Leader M. B. Simmons, at the First Christian church, Broadway and Helena streets, Anaheim, is attracting large audiences. The preaching, by Mr. Childers, is said to be the strongest that has been heard in Anaheim, while Mr. Simmons is pleasing all with his leadership of the music and solos. On Thursday evening the evangelist will speak on "The Greatest Building in the World," and Friday evening on "Evolution and the Bible." Special services are being planned for Sunday, and it is expected that capacity audiences will attend the services. The public is invited to attend. Inauguration of the great water conservation movement, resulting in organizing of the entire county into a flood control district, is one of the prime achievements of Schumacher's administration as chairman. The fact that this gigantic work is now but well started and will need the most careful piloting through the succeeding stages is advanced as a powerful argument for keeping Schumacher on the job. His demonstrated familiarity with problems involved in the project, in addition to his proven executive talent, are invaluable to the water conservation movement. These same qualities applied to the county's other problems provide another factor not to be overlooked. His long service on the board of supervisors is an asset to his district and the county at large that should not be discounted in any comparison of values. The district is now in the best position to "cash in" on the experience acquired by its supervisor. All of these matters offer sound business reasons for keeping him in the service of the district. An additional consideration of immense importance to the third district is the chairmanship itself. This strategic position came to the third district through Schumacher's commanding personality and his special fitness for it. To give up the advantage by failing to return the man who won it for the third district the first time it ever has been held by this district, would be to spread the impression that the this district belongs in the "sucker" class. Those present at the meeting were: Two Badly Injured In Auto Collision Ben Yorba and Mrs. A. B. Wiser Suffer Fractured Skulls Two heavy sedans crashed at the intersection of the boulevard and Orangethorpe avenue at midnight Wednesday, with the result that two persons are in the hospital suffering from serious injuries, and two others are nursing minor hurt. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Yorba of this city was driving west on Orangethorpe when their car crashed into one occupied by Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Wiser and their young son, of Los Angeles. The Wiser car was going north on the boulevard. Both cars were demolished, the Yorba car being overturned. Both Mr. Yorba and Mrs. Wiser were rendered unconscious, and as soon as help arrived Yorba was brought to the Anaheim sanctarium and Mrs. Wiser removed to the Fullerton hospital. It developed that each had sustained a fractured skull, while Mr. Yorba also had a leg broken. It was feared at first that Yorba's injuries were fatal, but last reports state that he is improving. Mrs. Wiser, also, was dangerously hurt, but late reports state that she will recover.

The well is Mullen No. 1, on the old Merchants' Petroleum lease, and is directly back of the National Supply Company's warehouse and 400 feet west of the General Petroleum's Atwood No. 1 well. Mullen No. 1 was drilled to a depth of 3896 feet, the 8¼-inch casing was set at 3860 feet and cemented for a water shut-off. Early Saturday morning the cement was drilled out for the water test, and the oil gushed up. All efforts to keep it down were precluded by the tremendous gas pressure, measuring 1,000,000 cubic feet a day. The West Coast Refining Company is rushing a pipe line to the well to take care of this. PLEADSGUILTY TO DEFRAUDING GROWERS SALESMAN SELLS FERTILIZER THAT DOES NOT CONFORM TO LABEL Analysis Shows It Falls Far Short of Certificate in Quantity of Nitrogen and Phosphorous; Los Angeles Firm May Be Debarred; Practice of Swindling Ranchers With Fake Fertilizer Must Cease UNSCRUPULOUS manufactur- McFadden Speaks To Rotary Club Attorney Delivers Eloquent Address on Crime Prevention T. L. McFadden, attorney, was the chief speaker at the Rotary Club luncheon Monday. His subject was "Crime Prevention," and he presented his argument in an eloquent and convincing manner. "We must revamp some of our old ideas to meet our constantly and rapidly changing social conditions. We are still trying to plow the field with a crooked stick instead of using the machinery suited to present-day social and economic conditions. We have been treating symptoms instead of causes." "Any comprehensive crime prevention program must deal with eugenics, heredity, environment, education, economics, government, and all the human agencies that go to make a better breed of man. We must pay more attention to our human pedigree, at least as much as we do to the pedigree of our favorite dog, 'horse or hog,' he declared. "Mental incompetents are often permitted to marry and criminals are even allowed to marry while confined in jails. Thus the public has no protection against the ever increasing flood of undesirables to replenish the insane asylums, poor houses and penitentiaries." Crime punishment methods are based upon injecting into the criminal fear of detection and punishment, he pointed out. "We are relying too much upon this by-product of law enforcement—fear, to bring ultimate and lasting results. "No super-structure can permanently stand on a foundation of fear. No great movement can attain any definite achievement with the sole impelling cause of fear. No stable thought or right conviction can be attained through fear. Fear is wrong; it is evil; it is panicky, uncertain. People who refrain from wrongdoing through fear are cowards at heart and mental weaklings and all our criminals do not come under this heading in any sense of the term." Analysis Shows It Falls Far Short of Certificate in Quantity of Nitrogen and Phosphorous; Los Angeles Firm May Be Debarred; Practice of Swindling Ranchers With Fake Fertilizer Must Cease Unscrrupulous manufacturers and dealers who sell to ranchers in this section fertilizer that does not conform to the certified tag of essential elements on the sacks will find it difficult to continue the fraudulent practice, as state inspectors are determined that they shall be weeded out. George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures, inaugurated a campaign against these swindlers some years ago, and caused many of them to repent, but there are still a few who are continuing the practice. Entering a plea of guilty Tuesday to a charge of misrepresentation of the plant food content of fertilizer sold to the Placentia Orange Growers' Association. Thomas J. Frank, secretary of the Wilbur-Ellis Company of Los Angeles, is awaiting decision as to the amount of the fine to be assessed by Justice of the Peace H. J. Spence, who has taken the case under advisement. Charges against the Wilbur-Ellis Company were filed by G. D. Bender, inspector for the division of chemistry, state department of agriculture, who sampled the fertilizer when it was delivered to the local citrus association on March 1 of this year. According to Bender, tags on the sacks of fish meal fertilizer indicated that the nitrogen content was 9.75 per cent and that it contained 7 per cent of phosphoric acid. Analysis of the product by state chemists revealed that only 7.16 per cent of nitrogen was actually present and that phosphoric acid content was but 5.30 per cent. This shortage prevailed throughout the 20 tons of fish meal sold to the Placentia Orange Growers' Association. Bender said, making a considerable deficiency under the claims for the material. According to Bender, this is the third offense of the kind admitted by the Los Angeles concern, which is now under a suspended sentence of $500 in Los Angeles county. The second offense was committed in Riverside county, where a $75 fine was paid. Under the statutes governing the sale of fertilizers by commercial concerns, the state department of agriculture has the right to revoke the license of any concern for continued violation of the laws. Bender declared. In event of sale of fertilizer after a license has been revoked, a felony charge may be filed and serious prosecution result. According to the statutes, the fines collected for infractions of the fertilizer "We are relying too much upon this by-product of law enforcement—fear, to bring ultimate and lasting results. "No super-structure can permanently stand on a foundation of fear. No great movement can attain any definite achievement with the sole impelling cause of fear. No stable thought or right conviction can be attained through fear. Fear is wrong; it is evil; it is panicky, uncertain. People who refrain from wrongdoing through fear are cowards at heart and mental weaklings and all our criminals do not come under this heading in any sense of the term. "Crime prevention is not essentially a Christian work; it is a work for Christians, Buddists, Mohammedans, and every other creed of human thinking machines. Too many humanitarian movements have resulted in the preservation of the mental weakings. "Crime prevention movements have resulted in our extensive parole system, by means of which murderers, raplists, burglaries, thugs, robbers and felons of all kinds have been turned loose to prey on society." Hold Training School For Fire Fighters Co-operating with the federal and county forest officials, the Orange County Forest Protective Association held a two-day training school in Trabuco canyon Saturday and Sunday, June 2 and 3. This school was arranged especially for the crew leaders who have been enlisted by the protective association for the purpose of training them in the rudiments of fire fighting. The "pupils" arrived at the Trabuco forest ranger camp in the morning and, after a hearty lunch, spent the afternoon in primary instruction, with Forest Supervisor J. E. Elliott of San Diego as lecturer. His talk precipitated several discussions on methods for forest fire attacks. On the following day a hypothetical fire was laid out in the hills, using flour to designate the imaginary fire line. The leaders were then given a practical demonstration of deploying their crews to suppress the "flames." The students were well pleased with the course and plans are being made for a series of camp meetings to be held during the summer. These meetings are not public, but will be held exclusively for the crew leaders and active officials of the association.
