MAY USE DIARY OF PEETE IN DEFENSE FOR DENTON DEATH Counsel Likely to Offer Telegrams in Effort to Show Wife Denied Rights. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.—A diary kept by Richard C. Peete, husband of Mrs. Louise Peete, whose trial on a charge of having slain Jacob C. Denton starts next week, may be introduced to show Mrs. Peete was denied her legal rights when she was taken from the train and questioned by district attorney's office representatives at Glenn ranch, it was learned today. Peete's diary is said to contain notations showing he planned to meet Judge O. N. Hilton, whom he had retained as attorney for Mrs. Peete, at Ontario, and that he protested when his wife was taken from the train before it reached Ontario. Telegrams exchanged between Peete and Hilton, arranging for the attorney to meet Mrs. Peete and represent her at all conferences with the district attorney are also expected to be introduced during the defense fight against the statement made by Mrs. Peete at the Glenn ranch. The fight waged by Public Defender Aggeler and his deputies, representing Mrs. Peete, against the introduction of the Glenn ranch statement will be based on the contention that Mrs. Peete was denied her constitutional right to be advised by an attorney. It also developed today. THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS YOU LIVE HERE Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Assn., yesterday received a phone call from a Los Angeles man just returned from Porterville stating that the recent cold spell had wrought havoc up there. At 10 a.m. the mercury was at 24 and 26. In a last effort to save the orchards, water had been flooded under the trees with the result that if he had owned a pair of skates he could have skated all over the orchards. The navel crop had already been removed but the Valencias were probably damaged, to just what extent it is impossible to determine now. Things looked pretty bad, he said.

The fight waged by Public Defender Aggeler and his deputies, representing Mrs. Peete, against the introduction of the Glenn ranch statement will be based on the contention that Mrs. Peete was denied her constitutional right to be advised by an attorney. It also developed today that Mrs. Peete never signed the statement she made to the district attorney's deputies at the ranch. Mrs. Ida L. Gregory of Denver and daughter, Miss Maude Gregory, were scheduled to arrive in Los Angeles today to appear as witnesses at Mrs. Peete's trial. Altho they are brot here as prosecution witnesses, Mrs. Gregory and Miss Gregory will be called to testify in Mrs. Peete's behalf.

Investigation has disclosed that Denton obtained a divorce April 6, 1908, in Nogales, Ariz., from Etta Cole Denton of Pittsburg, who now claims a part of his $150,000 estate. MARKET FIRM WITH MUCH FRUIT MOVING The visible supply of oranges to the eastern trade is light and prices have continued to hold firm. Statistically however there are some clouds ahead. Shipments from California and Florida have been stimulated by the good opening of January markets and the amount rolling is increasing daily and will doubtless increase until a slump in the market again checks us. The outlook for the coming week is about 25 cents lower per box, indicated by the taking and refusing of offers for stock rolling by eastern dealers to local shippers. The f.o.b. quotations are not actually changed, but the trade throut the country is striking hard for easier f.o.b. prices in view of the quantities roiling. Weather conditions will help or mar the situation. Nominal f.o.b. prices for So. Cal, navels are $3 to $3.25 per box, usual terms and for desirable sizes. On sizes 216 to the box and smaller $2.75 is the asking quotation. Cash buying free on board cars is very quiet. The recent cold snap did no damage in any district. There is a better feeling in lemons, especially in markets of the southern states, where the small sizes which are being ordered here on the basis of $2 to $2.25 per box free on board cars.

BAKE RITE BAKERS COMING TO ANAHEIM The residents of Anaheim will be pleased to learn that the Bake-Rite Bakers, a California corporation, has decided to establish one of its hygienic public-view bakeries in this city. This company was incorporated in August of 1919 by a number of enterprising, expert bakers and dieticians who have spent many years in a close study of the relative nutritive values in various foods. Until two and a half years ago, methods employed by bakers were antiquated and haphazard with the consequent result of an indifferent quality of products that in no way compare with the bread made by the housewife. The men comprising the personnel of the Bake-Rite Bakers after careful laboratory tests, have devised formulae for bakery products with the desired end in view that the finished product will yield the body all the elements of nutrition needed by the body machine in almost the exact proportion required. It was that if the quality of the products made after their formulae could be maintained the public would show their approval by an insistent demand and that a Bakery operated under the scientific plan laid down would be a tremendous success. After building their first oven, an oven so designed that all unburned fumes arising from the combustion of gases or other fuel would be eliminated, thereby permitting of a clean sanitary baking process. The display advertising running in The Plain Dealer will inform our readers how they may become interested in this enterprising institution which has selected Anaheim as a manufacturing center for its product.

The order of the British military authorities to all Sinn Feiners in the Irish martial law zone to deliver up their arms and ammunition has been absolutely ignored. "Not so much as a popgun has been turned over," said a message from Dublin castle to the Irish office today.

Twombley, of Fullerton, chairman of the Farm Bureau committee, who is endeavoring to put the buying and selling of fertilizer upon a substantial basis, that "unless the present system is changed orchardists will continue to be victimized by unscrupulous dealers in fertilizers."

McADOO ASKS FOR PARDON LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.—Pleading for a pardon for a woman serving a three months' sentence in the county jail for violating the Volunteer act, on the ground that she has four children and is expecting another visit from the stork, W. G. McAdoo, formerly U.S. secretary of the treasury and director general of railroads, has appealed to his father-in-law, President Woodrow Wilson, to release the woman.

TWO SCORE FLEE FLAMES LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.—Two score men, women and children were aroused from their beds early today in a hotel on So.

OMIT MUSIC WHEN GALLI CURCI WEDS MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 15.—There was no music when Madame Amelita Galli Curci, famous soprano, became the bride of her accompanist, Homer Samuels, at the home of the bridegroom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Samuels at St. Louis Park at noon today. The diva and Mrs. Samuels of fertilizer was announced at the monthly meeting of the directors of the Orange-co Farm Bureau yesterday at Santa Ana. It was declared by Dr. S. S. Twombley, of Fullerton, chairman of the Farm Bureau committee, who is endeavoring to put the buying and selling of fertilizer upon a substantial basis, that "unless the present system is changed orchardists will continue to be victimized by unscrupulous dealers in fertilizers." At present manures are sold by weight; Twombley favors its sale by chemical analysis. Dr. Twombley's statement followed the reading of a report from George McPhee, county sealer of weights and measures. At the request of the Farm Bureau committee, McPhee recently made a trip of inspection to Ventura-co, from which county it was understood some big shipments of fertilizer were to be made to this county. Merhee reported that he found 2000 cattle being fed in 22 corrals. He estimated that for every two inches of manure in the corrals three inches of sand was added. "I understand," said Dr. Twombley, "that the contention is that the sand is meant to keep the corrals dry." "We have also been told that the reason why some of the fertilizer cars have been wet down is to keep the fertilizer damp in order to prevent its being blown around. And we are paying the bill, for we buy by the ton, for keeping the fertilizer dry in one place and for keeping it wet in another. "There seem to be a great many orchardists who don't care what kind of fertilizer they buy. They seem to have been imposed on so long that they don't react; they are numb. But I tell you this, the sooner we get the buying of fertilizer upon a plant food basis instead of a tonnage basis the better off we are going to be." W. M. Belding, president of the Farm Bureau, said that he had had a conference with officials of the Orange-co Fruit Exchange. They were of the opinion that a state law was needed and they sugegsted that the Agricultural Legislative committee, which is a legislative committee maintained by the producers associations of the state, would probably join with the State Farm Burgau federation in putting thru a bill at the legislature. "They told me," said Belding, "that the agitation against poor fertilizer has already saved orchardists of this county an immense sum of money, how much nobody can say. By reason of the agitation growers have been watching the fertilizer delivered to them and have been rejecting poor stuff." Dealers have been more careful about what they bring into this county." OMIT MUSIC WHEN GALLI CURCI WEDS MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 15. — There was no music when Madame Amelia Galli Curci, famous soprano, became the bride of her accompanist, Homer Samuel, at the home of the bridegroom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Samuel at St. Louis Park at noon today. The diva and Mr. Samuel explained that they had their fill of music on the concert stage. Neither bride nor groom was attended.
