LOS ANGELES, Jun. 31—Confessing they kidnapped Mrs. Gadys Witherel in the hope of obtaining a huge ransom, and admitting, the officers say, that she is the third woman they have abducted, the two men who enticed Mrs. Witherell from her Hollywood home Tuesday night and held her prisoner in a cabin near Corona, were placed in the city jail early today. The two men, cousins, Floyd and Arthur J. Carr, were guarded by police and deputies armed with shotguns as they were brot thru the city streets. Both men, it is said, have made complete confessions. They are believed to be leaders of an organized gang of kidnapers who steal women and children and hold them for ransom. WINBIGLER FIRES AT HUNGRY BURGLAR Theo, Winbigler, Santa Ana undertaker, startled a burglar who was robbing his home on E. Ninth-st, Santa Ana alst night. Winbigler had retired and was awakened by the gleam of a flashlight in the next room. He got up to find the burglar corroling the silverware but the burglar beat it so suddenly that a shot fired by Winbigler went wild... The only thing missed was a part of a pudding the burglar had first regaled himself with in the kitchen. OFFER THREE SITES FOR P. O.

Carr, were guarded by police and deputies armed with shotguns as they wore broth through the city streets. Both men, it is said, have made complete confessions. They are believed to be leaders of an organized gang of kidnappers who steal women and children and hold them for ransom. The climax of the hunt for Mrs. Witherell came about 5 o'clock this morning when a posse of officers surrounded the "bandit shack" near Corona and rescued Mrs. Witherell. Arthur J. Carr was trapped last night as he was telephoning a ran som demand to O. S. Witherell, husband of the woman. The second kidnaper was arrested after a fierce struggle in the canyon cabin early this morning, after Captain Slaten of the police flying squadron had found him hiding in a closet. As Slaten jerked open the door of the closet, the man, Floyd Carr, was revealed in the light of a flashlight with a drawn 45-calliber revolver leveled at the officer's stomach. However, the man dropped the weapon at the command of the posse, but was overpowered only after a fierce struggle in the dim light of the cabin. He was the mysterious "gray-haired" man who had lured Mrs. Witherell from her home. The rescue of Mrs. Witherell was intensely dramatic. "Oh don't hurt me — I haven't harmed anybody," sobbed Mrs. Witherell as members of the posse broke into the room where she had been held captive for nearly a week. Near collapse from her terrifying experience and apparently believing her rescuers had come into the room to kill her, the woman begun to beg for her life. It was several minutes before officers could calm the terrified woman to any extent. Mrs. Witherell told the officers she had not been harmed by the kidnapers, but she said the men had threatened to kill her if the ransom money was not paid for her release. In his demand Carr had informed Witherell his wife would be killed if $20,000 was not paid immediately for her release. Here is Mrs. Witherell's story told in her own words: "When the gray-haired man came into my home in Hollywood he was in a hurry and told me that I was wanted by a woman who was hurt in an auto accident and that she was calling for me. I thot it was my husband's mother, who was coming to have dinner with me that evening, and I hurried away as fast as possible." "When we got to the machine which was waiting in front of my home, there was another man at the wheel. Paul Carr helped me in the auto. We had no more than gotten seated in the car when the man Three sites have been offered for an Anaheim postoffice building, Postmaster J. F. Ahlborn announced today.

With present quarters absolutely outgrown, the office is fac to face with the immediate necessity of more rom. Ahlborn believes he can show that it will be an economical investment for the government. "We are going to be forced to pay at least $150 per month if we rent adequate quarters," says the postmaster, and if we can eliminate the hauling charges by placing the post-office within the half-mile limit, at least another $1000 per year can be saved. The rule is that when a postoffice is within half a mile of the railroads the latter must pay hauling charges. The present location is 3248 feet from the Santa Fe depot and 2348 from the S. P. The postoffice department is now paying $78 per month for hauling. This will increase as a tax volume of mall grows. Thus, the two items of rent and hauling would meet the cost of a $25,000 building in ten years. DISTRICT S. S. MTG HERE SUNDAY A. M. The meeting of the district Sunday schools of the Presbyterian church was held at the First Presbyterian church parlors at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Chas. A. Eygabroad serving as chairman.

He said Plans were discussed for the district convention at Orange March 8. The next meeting will be held at Buena Park Feb. 27. CHURCH LOCATION TAKEN OFF MARKET The congregation of the First Christian church did not act on the location committee's suggestion yesterday due to the fact that the lots at the new site suggested were taken off the market Saturday. The committee was given another week in which to look for a suitable location for the new building, but Dr. Loren Howe, pastor, stated this morning it looks like the present site must be retained. RECORD AT CHRISTIAN S. S. The biggest attendance at the First Christian church Sunday school here this season was reported yesterday by Dr. Loren Howe, pastor, despite the bad weather.

"When we got to the machine which was waiting in front of my home, there was another man at the wheel. Paul Carr helped me in the auto. We had no more than gotten seated in the car when the man driving opened up the motor at reckless speed. I thot nothing of that, however, feeling that he was hurrying me to the side of my husband's mother, who needed me. "We turned the corner from Whitley, the street my home is in, to Sunset-blvd and kept on speeding toward town. "It was my cousin who chloroformed the girl in the car," said Arthur J. Carr. "We did not harm the girl and to pass away the time she even cooked our meals. She had every edition of the newspapers and clipped the pictures of her husband and baby and had them constantly with her. Floyd and I planned the kidnapping four months ago and rented a ranch two months ago. I surely was surprised when the officers nabbed me after I exclaimed in the telephone booth, 'Goodbye, Mr. Witherell.'" OILMAN'S LEG IS BROKEN IN WRECK H. D. Reese, an employee of the Union Oil Co., sustained a broken leg and internal injuries when the auto in which he was riding collided with another in Brea Canyon at midnight Saturday night. He was taken to the Fullerton hospital in a Seale ambulance where he was given surgical attention. It is said that his injuries are not serious.

Brilliant parti-colored electric lamps will flicker over thousands of holiday-makers next Saturday when the Elks' Band Midwinter carnival and Mardi Gras is pulled off at sun-down. By that time, the band will begin to assemble at the city hall corner, where hundreds of merry-makers will line up behind the musicians, who will lead a grotesque procession toward the mercantile center at 7 o'clock. While the joy-makers are gathering, a program of lively music will be rendered by the band in full numbers. The line of march has not yet been decided upon by Manager A. E.

Against the company's claim of a rate base of $28,651.89, the commission allowed $27,743. The new rates are designed to yield a return of 8 pct on this amount, a replacement fund of $665 and maintenance and operation expenses of $3870. GEISSINGER SPEAKS ON LAST JUDGMENT Dr. J. A. Geisinger spoke to a large audience yesterday morning at the Methodist White Temple on "The Principles of the Last Judgment," taking his text from Mathew 25:31-45. "I am not going to attempt to give you a picture of the last judgment. That is beyond puny imagination of man. I rather desire to study with you this scripture to try to find out on what grounds one group of people in this parable went into eternal bliss and the other into eternal loss." At first it must seem strange to any fair-minded person that one per STANDARD GETS 30 BLOCKS IN LEASE The Standard Oil Co. has secured a lease upon 30 additional blocks owned by the Huntington Beach Co. A notice of agreement showing that the lease was given the Standard Jan. 7 is on record at the office of the county recorder. The terms of the lease are not known. The producing wells owned by the Standard at Huntington Beach are on the Huntington Beach Co. property, a large share of which has been leased to the Standard since before the first derrick was put up. The property concerned in the new lease is bounded as follows: Starting at Sixteenth and Palm-aves on Sixteenth to Crest, to Edgewood, to Wesley, to Twenty-third, to Palm back on Palm to Sixteenth. The property lies just outside the district in which Huntington Beach city has decreed that there shall be no drilling. ROSS MAILING OUT 10 PCT.

Ross reports that walnuts are now MAY FORM LIBRARY CLUB AT HI SCHOOL There is talk of organizing a book club among high school students. Doesn't that sound good to you? The librarian has taken mental note of the large number of books that certain students are reading outside the lists required in the English and history classes. She has been pleased that so many are really getting the reading habit and enjoying it. This is the plan in prospect. To all students who have read 10 books and have made a short report about each one, a certificate of reward will be given, and for five books in addition to the first 10, a gold star will be placed on the certificate. Blanks will be issued to the students desiring them, on which the reports will be made. The librarian with the assistance of the teachers of the English department will act as a committee to examine the reports and award the certificates. Then wouldn't it be worth while for those who are doing the reading to consider themselves the members of a book club and meet occasionally to talk over some book or the making of reports, or other points of interest? Say, if you like the idea, sign up in the library and the librarian will help you in the choice of your books and in the making of your reports. Books already read will be accepted—L. I. RUMSEY, Librarian. DEBATE CLUB WILL MEET THIS EVENING The debate club of the Anaheim high school will meet tonight and debate whether or not self-government is helpful to this school. ATANACIO Estrado, of Yorba, 92, died at his home yesterday. He was a pioneer of California, coming here in 1855 from the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, his native and. He first came to Tulare-co and San Jose and later to Yorba where he resided. "I am not going to attempt to give you a picture of the last judgment. That is beyond piny imagination of man. I rather desire to study with you this scripture to try to find out what grounds one group of people in this parable went into eternal bliss and the other into eternal loss." "At first it must seem strange to any fair minded person that one person should be forever happy because of certain kind deeds done, deeds that the door had forgotten and that other persons should be doomed for such neglects. But the more you study this Word the more you see that one group did the good deeds because they were good and the neglect of the other group was due to selfishness. We are judged then by what we are in our innest spirit." "It not only so we are judged by what we want to be. It is well that we are not judged by what we accomplish or by what we attain, for art is long and time is short and we work under hard conditions and with intractable material. A man's aspiration is somewhat. A man may sin and hate his sin while another committing the same sin may glout over it and hug it. It cannot be said that the two men are on a par morally." "Furthermore, it is interesting to note that the goodness of which God gives his aureole, was a robust lovable goodness. The saints' God desires are kind folk, not the anustere and harsh. An that is the kind the world needs." "It is interesting to see how this parable and all Scripture classmates mankind. Just two groups, the sheep and the goats. Some one has asked: 'Where do the alpacas come in?' The alpaca is a goat that looks like a sheep and fools some people but not the Great Shepherd. You can divide mankind into two classes: Those who love God and are seeking to do His will and those who do not. Every man and woman must belong to one or the other group." "Finally, it is clear that we are finally judged by our attitude toward Christ. This is not unfair. We can discern what is in man if we learn what is his attitude toward the Son of Man who has been the mighty uplifter and helper and Savior of men and women all these years. Would a man have done with Christ? Does he refuse to have that Man to reign over him? At once the true nature of the man is manifest." PIONEER OF YORBA DIES AT 92 YEARS Atanacio Estrado, of Yorba, 92, died at his home yesterday. He was a pioneer of California, coming here in 1855 from the state of Chihuahua, Mexico, his native and. He first came to Tulare-co and San Jose and later to Yorba where he resided. TO PCT. CHECKS TO WALNUT GROWERS Crop Now Selling at Rate of 1000 Bags Per Day; Cleaned Up in 60 Days Secretary George Ross of the Anaheim Walnut Growers Assn., was mailing out checks today for ten pet of the crop returns, making 80 pet to date. Ross reports that walnuts are now being sold at the rate of about 1000 bags per day and the entire crop will have been disposed of within 60 days, according to present prospects. This means there will be a clear market for the next crop, a condition that didn't exist last season. The ten pet check to date totals about $30,000. OILMAN HURT FROM FALL OFF DERRICK Otto Johnson was dangerously hurt when he fell 40 feet off an oilrick at the Huntington Beach field today. He was brot to the Johnston-Wickett hospital for surgical attention. He sustained a broken hip, a broken wrist and other injuries. He was an employee of the McKeon Drilling Co., and was working at the Tex-Cal well.

TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR SHIPPING POINT JUMPS FROM TENTH PLACE WITHIN LAST 12 MONTHS This District Tied With Redlands With 3000 Cars to Ship This Season. (By G. W. Sandilands, manager Anaheim Orange and Lemon Assn.) It is with much interest we note that Anaheim has in the past year moved up from tenth place in point of total shipments and is tying Redlands for sixth place with 3000 cars to ship this year. In other words there are only five other points in So. Cal, that will ship more fruit than will be moved out of Anaheim this year. Anaheim is now the heaviest shipping point in No. Orange-co, shipping as much as Placentia, Fullerton and La Habra combined. In fact, Anaheim stands first in the county as an individual shipping point with regard to output from its own particular section. Watch Anaheim grow in point of citrus shipments in the next five years, and see her head the entire list. The following standing of the different sections as given in the annual estimate of the citrus crop gotten together by the Riverside Daily Press is one of the most reliable estimates made and has been regularly compiled for a number of years: The Press has just completed the BEACH RESIDENT, 75, TO WED WOMAN, 72 Dan Cupid ushered into the Orange-co clerk's office Samuel G.

Watch Anaheim grow in point of citrus shipments in the next five years, and see her head the entire list. The following standing of the different sections as given in the annual estimate of the citrus crop gotten together by the Riverside Daily Press is one of the most reliable estimates made and has been regularly compiled for a number of years: The Press has just completed the compilation of estimates on the citrus crop for the season of 1920-21 and the returns made from the various localities indicate the following output for the state: Oranges Lemons Southern California.....39,500 8700 Central California.....4,300 200 Northern California.....300 Total for state.....44,1000 8900 Grand total, 53,000 carloads. The So. Cal. estimate on oranges is about 30 pct increase over actual shipments last year. The lemon estimate is about the same as the output last season. The estimate on lemons this year, however, is subject to large possibilities of variation, owing to market conditions. If the tariff is increased and the freight rate lowered, the output will be about as above. If these two changes are not made, the output will be cut materially. The orange crop is in fine condition, never better in quality too since are running a little small. The So. Cal. crop has been moving slowly, but as the Florida crop is cleaned up, heavier shipments and better prices may be expected. Riverside-co is estimated to have a crop of 4584 cars of oranges and 1125 cars of lemons—3710 cars. This is the best crop in ten years. The estimates have all been made on the basis of full car loads which are running now about 462 boxes to the car. Where the estimates were sent in on the basis of 400 boxes to the car, they have been refigured on the full car basis. Credit for the earliest shipment of navels this season goes to the Azusa district. Nov. 4. That was off bloom fruit, however. The earliest shipment of regular bloom fruit was made from Hemet, on Dec. 19. Riverside got out its first car Nov 24 and Moreno on Nov. 25. Highland shipped its first car on Nov. 23.

Mrs. A. Hartman sustained cuts about the limbs in an auto collision at the corner of Clementine-st and West Broadway shortly past noon today when the Ford car in which she was riding collided with a larger car. She was taken to the Anaheim Sanitarium where she was given surgical attention. According to an eye-witness, the Ford was going west on Broadway, and the larger car north on Clementine. The driver of the Ford was blinded by the sun and did not see the larger car in time to stop and so smashed into it, striking it amidships just in front of the mud guard of the rear wheel. The larger car was dented but able to pull out later on its own power. The Ford crumbled its left front wheel, the left headlight was smashed and the car battered up in general. It had to be towed away. Only Mrs. Hartman sustained injuries of any consequence. DOUGHBOY STUNTS WILL CURE GROUNCH The recent talk given before the Fullerton Ebell by Mrs. Brainard of Los Angeles concerning disabled war veterans, has taken root and the Woman's clubs to say nothing of the men's organizations all over Orange County, are aroused to a high pitch of resentment toward the almost unbelievable conditions, with thousands of these veterans right here in Sou-Calif., many of whom are starving to death and dying from diseases incurred in the army. Strenuous efforts are being made to alleviate the conditions and bring pressure to bear on congress to hasten relief measures and slash some of the undearable red tape in which relief measures are hopelessly entangled. State Commander Buron R. Fitts of the American Legion is going to talk before a big mass meeting at the Fullerton high school auditorium Wednesday at 8 p.m. His talk will put before the people some of the apalling conditions. Commander Fitts is gaining a nation wide reputation for the forcefulness and direct-of his speeches and promises to reveal some rather startling facts. He appreciates keenly the situation of the disabled veterans because he himself is the victim of a boche h.e. shell which made him a cripple for the rest of his life. Anaheim, Fullerton and Brea American Legion Posts are at it tooth and toenail getting their doughboy stunts into shape, and along with the seriousness of the speeches will be some hilarious soldier fun. There will be music galore from Stuelke's Fullerton band. The whole evening will prove a sure cure for a grouch and give everyone IN OF BING FIRE Jan. 31.—Investoday to determifire which de1351 No. Hobartautos and causing at $7000. Zerz Alporty.
