Palmer, of Orange-co Fruit Exchange Says Fruit Set Well and of Good Quality. A bumper valencia orange crop in Orange-co for 1921 was predicted today by L. D. Palmer, manager of the Orange-co Fruit Exchange. Palmer based his predictions on estimates made within the past few days. The fruit has set exceptionally well, the crop is large and the fruit will be of a superior quality, in the opinion of Palmer. The fruit on the trees is small but there is plenty of time for it to develop before it is picked. Pickling and packing will not be in full swing before May. Palmer is optimistic and in addition to predicting an increase in valencia production over last year of between 1000 and 1500 carloads, anticipates ready sale for the crop at fair prices when it is placed on the market. His estimate is for 8400 to 9100 carloads, with the two exchanges in the county shipping between 6500 and 7000 carloads. It was estimated today that when final returns are in, Orange-co's growers of lemons and oranges will have received upward of 16 and a half million dollars for the crop of 1920. Despite conditions that were unfavorable, records show that the returns will be at least one million dollars more than for the year 1919. INCOME TAX EXPERT ADDRESSES AUTO MEN Walter D. Biddick, secretary of the Auto Trades Assn., stated at the meeting of the association last night that directors in special session had opposed the proposed two cents a gallon tax on gasoline and had so wired both the Orange-co delegates to the legislature. Both Assemblyman W. O. Hart, of Orange, and Senator Walter Edens, of Santa Ana, delegates, replied they would oppose the measure. Frank P. Steed, income tax expert, spoke on this subject insofar as it affects used car and automobile men in general. Following the meeting of the association there was a short meeting of the motor crafts. MAKE MARDI GRAS PLANS NEXT MONDAY The mardi gras, which will be held in Anaheim Feb. 5, will be held in the afternoon and evening instead of all day as was at first contemplated. E. A.

The C. of C. will cooperate and the city will decorate with colored lights. The celebration will be held under the auspices of the Anaheim Elks band to raise money for concerts during the coming summer.

Despite conditions that were unfavorable, records show that the returns will be at least one million dollars more than for the year 1919. The increase was made in spite of the fact that total shipments for 1920 were 102 carloads less than for 1920. This is cited as convincing proof that the market situation was not as bad as it was generally believed. The state will produce around 24,000 carloads during the coming valencia season, according to estimates of the California Fruit Exchange. The exchange controls about 70 pet of the crop in the state, with the percentage a little higher in Orange-co. "I look for a good season for valencias this year," said Palmer. "We have shown an increase in consumption every year and there will be no trouble in disposing of the state's increased production." "More and more valencias are being used every year. In the east hundreds of orange juice stands are being operated and large quantities of the fruit are being used up in this way. The stands create a desire on the part of patrons for the juice, with the result that it is used more extensively in homes. It used to be that when deciduous fruits came on the markets oranges slumped. That condition has changed. The keeping quality of the valencia has been an important factor in increasing the consumption of oranges." "The retailers have learned that the fruit has good keeping qualities and the result is that wholesalers are shipping large quantities. 10 ATTEND TRACTOR EDUCATIONAL CLINIC A very profitable gathering of Fordson tractor dealers, employees and service men, was held at the George Dunton salesroms here Thursday evening. It was in the nature of a tractor and implement educational clinic and was attended by 40 tractor men from Fordson agencies in Anaheim, Fullerton, Santa Ana, Whittler and other nearby towns. There were lectures by four factory representatives: Messrs Lee O, Beard, Oliver Chilled Plow Works; Chris Jensen, Roderick Lean Mfg. Co.; Fred Service, American Seeding Machine Co.; Ted Nettekoven, Wm. L. Hughson Co. Refreshments were served late in the evening. NAVELS DECLINE 25c ON COLDER WEATHER Navel oranges have declined 25 percent since 1920. The increase is due to two factors: one is the decline in citrus prices, and another is the decrease in demand for fresh oranges. STEAL BRIDEGROOM FOLLOWING WEDDING It must be tough luck to lose one's bride the very night of the wedding, but that is what happened to Welcome M. Ward who married Miss Ruth Boyd at the White Temple yesterday evening. Immediately following the reception, a band of "tine boys" handcuff him and drew him away from his blushing bride over her tearful protest of "whatever you do, don't hurt my husband," took him into a machine down near the S. P. tracks on So. Los Angeles-st where they dumped him bound into a stock trailer and paraded with him about town. Then they cloped with him to Santa Ana where a dance was being held by the Santa Ana post of the American Legion. Still handcuffed, they thrust him into the center of the hall and thru a megaphone announced his predicament. In reply to his appeals for mercy and help he was given the horse laugh. About 11 o'clock they returned him to his waiting bride who was at her home receiving the sympathetic consolations of her friends over the violent disappearance of her husband. Then William Schumacher, who had participated in the kidnapping, made an effort to square himself with the bride aid groom by taking them to Los Angeles. REVERE MEMORY OF COOP. ASSN.

Zero weather at New York stopped business in fresh fruits temporarily, and no regular auction was held Wednesday. Only 12 cars were auctioned at New York Thursday and only eight cars Friday. In the face of heavy supplies blocking distribution channels and the increase of shipments this week to 1032 cars, the basis for optimism in f.o.b. trading is shattered. There is some spot cash trading for the larger sizes at $2.50 to $2.75 per box, and on regular terms of inspection at Eastern points the market is nominally $3 per box. Small sizes are not in demand, even at the discounts. Lemons show a little better demand this week than last, but throughout all districts tons of good lemons are being picked and thrown into the creek beds. The by-products factories cannot pay prices to cover shipment from interior points. Lemon prices f. o. b. are nominally $2 to $2.50 per box. There are only 2500 boxes of foreign lemons in port.

Auto Trade Assn. Extended Him: Walter D. Biddick, secretary of the Orange-co Auto Trade Assn., tendered his resignation at the meeting of the association last night at the garage of Albert A. Sitton, in Fullerton, to become effective March 1. The executive committee was instructed to find a successor for the vacancy. Mr. Biddick resigned to accept the position of field agent for the Cal.

Mr. Biddick stated that he owed all his good fortune to the local association and that he accepted the position not from pecuniary reasons but because it opened opportunities for him to a higher field. He would not have had the qualifications for this new position, he added, if he had not been given a chance in Orange-co. Members of the association stated that the local association owes as much or more to Mr. Biddick as he does to it and gave an expression of appreciation for the good work he has done, wishing him the greatest success in his new position.

Mr. Sitton's garage was crowded to capacity. Selections were rendered by the new Auto Trade Assn. band which has been in existence but five weeks but which now plays like a veteran band. Compliments were rendered the band boys by the members of the association on the rapidity with which they had learned. Crowds gathered along the street to hear them. It was decided to send the band to Riverside; San Bernardino and Long Beach during the meetings of the local associations there in order to show the people what Orange-co has to give in the way of music at the auto show at Santa Ana in April. At the opening of the meeting, the minutes of the previous meeting were read, as were also those of the crafts meet at Pasadena early in January.

It had been planned to start a five-game series between Fullerton and Carl Sawyer's fast San Pedro team. These two teams clashed Christmas day in one of the best games seen on the Commonwealth field, the contest being ended by darkness with the score one to one.

SAYS LIMA GROWERS SHOULD COOPERATE If there ever was a time in the history of our industry when the lima bean growers should co-operate, that time is now. That was the declaration of W. C. Jerome at the Santa Ana meeting today to take definite steps looking toward the strengthening o fthe membership of the California Lima Bean Growers' Assn. in Orange-co. R. L. Churchill, manager of the California organization made a frank statement as to the outlook for the present season. He will dwell especially on market conditions, it was stated. Churchill was accompanied to Santa Ana by Roger Edwards, vice president of the association, and by M. H. Butcher, a director. Edwards and Butcher are from Ventura-co, which the former at one time represented as assemblyman, while the latter is a county supervisor. Both are well posted on the lima bean situation. "The strength inherent in co-operative marketing associations was indicated conclusively during the past few weeks when state and national officials requested them to forward figures upon which might be based estimates as to tariff needs," said Jerome. "It is a fact that a co-operative marketing association is at all times a vast benefit to the farmer." The funeral of Mrs. Willist Faust, Jr., burned to death in the wreck, will be held at 2 p.m. Monday from the George Fitch undertaking parors at 1201 So.

Willis Faust, Jr., was resting easily today, reported Mr. Vic LaMont, who returned from Los Angeles this afternoon where he went to meet Mr. Paul Pritchlyn, of Mather Field, husband of Mrs. Faust's sister, who arrived Thursday. EDEN WOULD SAVE STATE HOLLY TREES State Senator Walter Eden will introduce a bill into the legislature seeking to protect California holly, sometimes called California red berry, from threatened extinction. Eden's measure probably will prohibit the sale of these berries, especially around Christmas season, and will provide punishment for citizens who break or otherwise destroy the trees in picking the berries for their own use. "Something must be done to protect these Christmas berries that grow in the foothills in various parts of the state." declared Eden at Sacramento, "or in a few years they will have become a thing of the past." "I believe that much good would be accomplished in the line of conservation if sale of the berries was prohibited. Those who pick the berries by the truck loads to sell in the cities do so without regard for the small trees on which they grow." "Instead of cutting the berries from the trees, the market pickers pull off large branches, and otherwise ruin the trees. Citizens picking the berries also should be compelled to exercise more care in gathering them." DIVORCE SUIT BARED BY MAN ON STAND R. L. Davis, formerly of Santa Ana, charged by his wife with failing to support their four children, was ordered yesterday by Superior Judge West to contribute $20 per month for the support of the children for the next six months and $30 per month thereafter, or until such time as the court migh increase this allowance. The first complaint against Davies was issued in October, 1919, when according to his wife, he left for Colorado. The defendant was returned to this county and given a preliminary hearing before Justice of the Peace Cox. He was ordered to look after his family and contribute a certain amount for the support of the children. Evidence was brot out in court yesterday to show that Davies had not complied with this order. He admitted on the stand that he left in October last for New Mexico and there filed suit for divorce against his wife. He also admitted that he had sent no money home during his absence.

This Paper Believes in the People and Desires Nothing Better Than Their Continued Confidence. TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR WOOLWINE PREPARES TO MAKE DIRECT ATTACK Chief Deputy Dist. Atty. W. C. Doran Probably Will Be Star Witness for Prosecution. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22. — With the way cleared for the first testimony directly involving Mrs. Louise Peete, on trial for her life on a charge of having slain Jacob C. Denton, Chief Deputy Dist. Atty. W. C. Doran probably will be the star witness for the prosecution when the case is resumed Monday in Superior Judge Willis' court. The introduction into evidence of the much discussed statement made by Mrs. Peete at the Glenn ranch a few hours after her arrival in So. Cal. from Denver will be attempted while Doran is on the stand. It is expected that the move to introduce Mrs. Peete's statement, said to contain many incriminating discrepancies, will precipitate a hot fight between Dist. Atty. Woolwine and Public Defender Aggeler over the question of whether Mrs. Peete was deprived of her legal rights when she returned to Los Angeles to "aid in the investigation." Aggeler is believed to be prepared to contend that Mrs. Peete was taken from the train at the foot of the Caljon grade to prevent her from meeting Judge O. N. Hilton, her attorney, at Ontario, and that she was deceived by the district attorney's office from the outset of the investigation of the crime. PEEPER REPORTED ON NORTH LEMON STREET Officer Moody of the Anaheim police force was called to search for a 'peeping Tommy' who was seen peeping thru a window on No. Lemon-st last night.

DUNTON BELIEVES ANAHEIM WILL LEAD George Dunton, Ford and Fordson distributor, is one of the many Anaheim men who believe that Anaheim is rapidly becoming the premier business center of Orange-co. He says he is going to do his share to make that situation true. He believes that Anaheim is going farther than ever before this year to prove that supremacy and points to the fact that building permits in Anaheim so far this year are about twice those of Santa Ana. He continues that his agency here has sold twice as many Fordson tractors in January to date as has the Santa Ana agency, altho the latter has a much larger territory. He also says that the state auto license registrations for December show 38 new Fordas registered in both Anaheim and Santa Ana altho Santa Ana claims triple population. SEEK ACCOMPLICES OF PASTOR BANDIT MOUNT VERNON, Ill., Jan. 22.—Four citizens of Mt. Vernon named by Rev. Guy Kyle, former Free Methodist clergyman, as his accomplices in the $210,000 mail robbery here on Jan. 14, are being sought today by police and postal inspectors. Kyle, according to the police, has confessed his part in the robbery and has named some of his accomplices. Kyle's liberality in the matter of tips—the giving of a $5 bill in payment for a $1.50 drayage job and telling the expressman to "keep the change"—caused suspicion to be directed against him. Inspectors found approximately $180,000 of the loot in Kyle's garage and in his home. $2108 OBTAINED IN SERIES OF HOLDUPS LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22.—Loot totaling $2108 was obtained by bandits in a series of robberies late last night and early today. Earl Hanson, a railroad conductor, was halted at North Broadway and Bernardine by four masked bandits and robbed of $1250. Two bandits halted C. A. Trowbridge of Bishop, Calif. After taking his purse and $800, the bandits cut the ignition wires of his machine and fled. G. Boyd, night clerk of the Webster hotel, 259 Eglisth, reported that bandits held him up and took $50 from the cash register. Mr. and Mrs. M. Brittain of Santa Monica were confronted by two bandits as they halted their machine near the beach city to read a sign board. The bandits got $8.50. U. OF C. DEFICIENCY NOW FACING SENATE CAPITOL, SACRAMENTO, Jan. 22.—From the King bill to increase the tax on corporations, interest swung partially today to the Univ. of Calif. A deficiency appropriation of $370,000 for the university was presented to the senate. That body decided that a hearing should be held at which state and university officials would be asked to testify. Officers of the university who crepancies, will precipitate a hot fight between Dist. Atty. Woolwine and Public Defender Aggeler over the question of whether Mrs. Peete was deprived of her legal rights when she returned to Los Angeles to "aid in the investigation." Aggeler is believed to be prepared to contend that Mrs. Peete was taken from the train at the foot of the Cajon grade to prevent her from meeting Judge O. N. Hilton, her attorney, at Ontario, and that she was deceived by the district attorney's office from the outset of the investigation of the crime. He will fight the introduction of the Glenn ranch statement. He believes that Anaheim is going farther than ever before this year to prove that supremacy and points to the fact that building permits in Anaheim so far this year are about twice those of Santa Ana.
