XXIV—No. 218 ARCHITECT SUMMARY Expect Fruit Ships To AUTO SHOW OFFERS BUYER ADVANTAGE OF COMPARISONS Numerous Strinned Chassis. Working Models and Parts Displaced Scattered Thru Big Tents SANTA ANA, April 14.—The Orange County Motorcar, Truck and Tractor Show, being held here this week and which closes Saturday night, is proving to be an educational feature well worth the attendance and thorough inspection of every person who owns, or even expects to own, a gasoline propelled vehicle. In the ordinary salesroom, the prospective automobile owner sees how his car will look and may even give the region under the hood a careful once-over, but he has to take the salesman's word, the statement of printed literature, and his own knowledge of other cars of similar make as to material in the different parts and how those parts operate. But at the Auto Show the car is dissected, and the parts and their workings are shown so that all may seek through stripped chassis and Expect Exchange Will Soon Have Steamer Co. So successful has been the experience of the California Fruit Exchange in shipping citrus fruit by water that Chas. Evgabroad, chairman of the export committee, following yesterday's meeting of the board of directors, gave it as his opinion this morning that it would be only a short time until the Exchange will be operating its own fleet of fruit steamers. "We are now shipping 25 cars of citrus fruit by water every week, taking advantage of all available shipping space for citrus fruit," said Evgabroad. "We have an option on ten steamers and we figure that we can almost pay the entire cost of hauling our fruit east from the freight that we will bring back west. Answering the query as to what would happen with the present arrangements for hauling fruit by steamer should the railroads reduce tariffs. Evgabroad stated that when rail freights come down shipping freights will do the same, so that there will be an ever greater advantage to the shipper in moving fruit by water. COMPLETE PLANT TO OPERATION Plan to Invite Six Daughters Organizations to Each With California manufacturer packing machine organized the local Vehicle Show by offering to unit in the citrus farm partment, Malcom A. today. The unit will and will include a box conveyor, liddin conveyor, and clean well as a force of pack It is planned to install packing organizer day each in packing and to have some of young women pack The show will furnish run the packing plan The matter will be the meeting of the Valencia Show which the C. of C. headquarter o'clock Monday evening. In the ordinary salesroom, the prospective automobile owner sees how his car will look and may even give the region under the hood a careful once-over, but he has to take the salesman's word, the statement of printed literature, and his own knowledge of other cars of similar make as to material in the different parts and how those parts operate. But at the Auto Show the car is dissected, and the parts and their workings are shown so that all may see through stripped chassis and working models, especially designed by the factories for show purposes and which, because of their cost, are not available for the salesrooms. These chassis and models show the prospective buyer the exact size, shape and working method of the various parts and the quality of the material out of which they are made, and this year's Orange County Show is better equipped than ever before to educate the public on what is latest and best in engine and body design, with more than a dozen stripped chassis working models and parts displays scattered about the two-tents. After one has seen the various models and listened to the enlightening talk of the men in charge, he or she is better equipped than ever before to go out and purchase a car that will meet his or her individual requirements. Among the stripped chassis on display at this show are those of the Cleveland, Chalmers, Franklin, Marmon, Essex, Gardner, Willys-Knight and Nash. Working models include those of the Hupmobile, Peerless, Stearns-Knight and G. M. C. trucks, while complete parts displays include those of the Lincoln and Buick. The accessories department also contains many highly educational displays, and here one may learn how oils are produced, and how they act under actual operating conditions, and why one kind is best for any particular purpose, in addition to many other useful things. The construction plan of batteries, carburetors, etc., is shown, and the quality of work in various machine shops can be seen and studied. It is a complete show, and one in which several hours can profitably be spent. Add to this educational feature the novelty of the "baby cars" which are on display, the acquainted and social part of the program, the excellent musical entertainment, etc., and the Auto Show is seen as a most important event for everyone to take part in while they may. Yesterday saw another good crowd in the tents, in spite of the threatening weather and last night's cool wind. Many came over from Long Beach, returning the courtesy extended the Beach show last week by Orange County dealers and a large delegation was expected this afternoon and evening from San Diego. Tomorrow a delegation will be present from Huntington Beach, and on Saturday. Eygabroad. "We have an option on ten steamers and we figure that we can almost pay the entire cost of hauling our fruit cast from the freight that we will bring back west. Answering the query as to what would happen with the present arrangements for hauling fruit by steamers should the railroads reduce tariffs. Eygabroad stated that when rail freights come down shipping freights will do the same, so that there will be an ever greater advantage to the shipper in moving fruit by water. "We have proven that the handling of citrus fruit by water is entirely feasible. Lemons may be handled without refrigeration while oranges go forward equally as well in refrigeration," continued the Exchange director. "A saving of $5280 on freight was effected on a steamer cargo of 25 carloads of lemons landed in New York this week. The fruit also brought a premium over fruit landed there by rail that day. Buyers evinced great enthusiasm over the fact that the California Fruit Exchange had developed this new means of landing fruit in New York without paying such high tribute to the railroads. "We received a wire yesterday concerning the shipment of ten carloads of fruit to Liverpool. The ten days late, the fruit arrived in good shape, the wire stated. These were lemons without refrigeration. "May 1, we have booked ten cars of Valencias for shipment to Liverpool under refrigeration. As it is desired to send the best grade of fruit. Orange County Valencias will be shipped. These will be in refrigeration." Exchange directors are making a week's trip to the lumber camps of the Fruit Growers Supply Co., a subsidiary of the Exchange. In Lassen County they will visit the largest lumber camp in the world. Eygabroad was unable to take time away for a week and sent in his place S. W. McCulloch, of Placentia. There will be a slight reduction at officers of the local lodge lowered price of shoof, which is down about 11 cents per box from last season's high price. Other reductions will make the total reduction about 15 cents. New Business Concern Planned for Anaheim The C. of C. is daily confronted with propositions to assist in putting new business enterprises into Anaheim and only yesterday Pres. Harry D. Riley ran across a party who would like to open up a new business organization here, which would be filling a long-felt want. This party requires a very small financial investment besides the amount he is willing and able to put in to make it a going concern from the start.

Many came over from Long Beach, returning the courtesy extended the Beach show last week by Orange County dealers and a large delegation was expected this afternoon and evening from San Diego. Tomorrow a delegation will be present from Huntington Beach, and on Saturday, the closing day, a big excursion of visitors from Los Angeles is expected. A jazz band has been added to the entertainment program, playing each evening from 8 to 10, and will help to make the last days of the show interesting and lively. LIKES PLACENTIA BIKE RIDER Here's what a bicycle racing fan, writing to the Times sporting Editor, has to say about Leroy Cox of Placentia. "Incidentally keep your eye on Howard Chandler, protege of Will Laughlin, who has been winning all the messenger boy events, and on Leroy Cox, Midget pedal from Placentia. Leroy is a mere sprite, 14 years old, and weighing an even 100 pounds, yet in the last meet he ran away from a mature field in one of the heats, and that after riding clear in from Placentia on his own wheel in the morning. He comes by his ability honestly, as his father was a rider of some renown in the old days." 13 OF COLONEL BOWIE CREW ARE RESCUED BEAUMONT, Tex., April 14—Thirteen more members of the crew of the ill-fated Colonel Bowle were picked up eight miles off the port of Tampico, according to a radio message received by port authorities today.

Harry D. Riley ran across a party who would like to open up a new business organization here, which would be filling a long-felt want. This party requires a very small financial investment besides the amount he is willing and able to put in to make it a going concern from the start. It really is a matter of interest to everyone in town because the business proposed is badly needed here. Mr. Riley would be glad to talk to any persons who might be interested in this matter, which is something that does not interest Mr. Riley whatsoever. In the way of profit, except as he helps to benefit, along with the rest of the people, from the new establishment, in convenience.

CLEAR UP SEVERAL MINOR THEFTS AS BOWLES CONFESSES Sheriff Jackson Announces Statement Obtained After Grilling of Two Hours According to Sheriff Jackson today, Mcville Bowles, formerly of Orange, arrested in Los Angeles early this week by Orange County officers, in connection with the theft of Senator Walter Eden's auto, confessed after a grilling of two hours to participation in a series of minor burglaries at various points in the county during the winter. According to the Sheriff, Bowles claims to have been assisted in the robberies by Charence Noyes, now in jail at Sacramento in connection with the auto theft. The sheriff says Bowles states he and Noyes drove from Sacramento in ten hours to Olive where they stole some cyanide and ammonia with which they planned to rob a gambling joint at Sacramento, but when they returned with it they got cold feet and didn't pull off the job. FRANCE AIDS U. S. UPON YAP MATTER WASHINGTON, April 14—The U. S. today won the support of France in its fight to break the Japanese mandate over the island of Yap, according to the interpretation placed on the French reply to the recent Hughes mandate note. The French reply was received at the state department today and the text made public. It is signed by Premier Brian and stated the whole question of the Yap mandate would be reopened by France at the next meeting of the allied supreme council. The French reply was handed to Ambassador Wallace in Paris today by Premier Briand. In part it said: "We wish to inform your excellency that when the question comes before the supreme council the delegates of France will approach it with the most earnest desire to discover a solution entirely satisfactory to the U. S." the note said. The note furthermore points out that France already has done all that is possible to support the American viewpoint on mandates. The premier asserts that altho no specific reservation on the disposition of Yap was made by the U. S. on May 19, 1912, that President Wilson and Mr. Lanning both registered categorical reservations in the presence of the Japanese representative to the allocation of Yap to Japan and that Baron Makino had not objected. SEIZE GIRLS ON "LOVE BOAT" LOS ANGELES, April 14—Pursuing a power boat across the San Pedro harbor on the fast police launch, Lieut Al Gifford and Officers Wilson and Bartley leaped aboard the speeding craft and running down into the hold arrested two sailors and two pretty girls on vice charges. The girls are alleged to be the mysterious "love sirens" of the harbor for whom naval officials have conducted a diligent search. At the harbor police station the girls gave the names of Nettie Newton, 15, of Terminal Island, and Lorneta Culver, alias Loretta Hallsted, 18. They were booked on charges of vagrancy. Hearing Delayed by Workness of Morgan BUILD UP COUNTY HARBOR FRONTAGE Orang-co's 500 feet of frontage on Newport harbor given to the county by the La Habra Valley Land and Water Co., nearly two years ago when the $500,000 harbor bond issue was voted, is today being built up for commercial uses from material, dredged from the harbor channel. The silt and water is being pumped onto the tract by the big dredger, and the silt is left raising the grade of the land to approximately eight feet above high tide. The dredging progress and also the jetty work at the harbor entrance was inspected by the harbor commissioners at their weekly meeting, and all were well pleased at the progress being made. The dredger has swung into the turning basin at the upper end of the county channel near the old glass factory, which will be dredged to depth of 20 feet at low tide, in order to accommodate vessels drawing up to 20 feet of water, which can enter at high tide and remain in the turning basin until the next high tide. More than 200,000 cubic yards of material will have to be dredged before this part of the work is completed, and the dredger will be engaged at this point for probably the next two months. The area of marsh land on both sides of the turning basin will be filled in. When this job is completed the dredger will proceed to the entrance beyond Balboa which will also be dredge to a depth of 20 feet at low tide to a point well inside the bay. The remainder of the channel is 16 feet deep at low tide. To date such progress has been made that the harbor commissioners are confident the first commercial harbor unit will be completed by fall. BILLION PROFIT MADE BY U. S. BOOTLEGGERS WASHINGTON, April 14—Bootleggers made profits totaling nearly hours to participation in a series of minor burglaries at various points in the county during the winter. According to the Sheriff, Bowles claims to have been assisted in the robberies by Charence Noyes, now in jail at Sacramento in connection with the auto theft. The sheriff says Bowles states he and Noyes drove from Sacramento in ten hours to Olive where they stole some cyanide and ammonia with which they planned to rob a gambling joint at Sacramento, but when they returned with it they got cold feet and didn't pull off the job. The sheriff asserts the confession clears up four or five robberies, all small, however, the loot admitted being taken by Bowles being watches, guns and like. FIND 3RD BALLOON BLOWN FROM SHIP LOS ANGELES, April 14—The third of the three naval balloons swept away from San Pedro battleships by last night's gale was found today on Irvine ranch near Santa Ana.

MURDERER TRAPPED ON TOP OF TRAIN LOS ANGELES, April 14—Crouching low on top of a Pullman car, Albert Ellis, negro murderer and escaped convict, made up his mind to "shoot it out" when two men with badges on eir breasts barred his way to freedom just before dawn today. He attained his haunches behind a ventilator and fired. But his nerve gave out, and today he is behind the bars at San Bernardino captured by Sheriff Shay and a deputy just as he was nearly out of the clutches of the law. Escape from the Ventura County jail Saturday night by sawing the bars of his cell with tiny-toothed strips of steel smuggled to him food by his wife, he has been just one jump ahead of Sheriff McMarten and Undersherif Hayden since. They were on his heels all day Tuesday and Wednesday morning in Los Angeles. But he got away. No "Penalty Cities" In Southern Calif. There will be no "Penalty Cities" for auto owners in Southern California so far as insurance rates are concerner unless existing conditions change.

BILLION PROFIT MADE BY U. S. BOOTLEGERS WASHINGTON, April 14.—Bootleggers made profits totaling nearly $1,000,000,000 last year. It was estimated here today on the basis of internal revenue bureau reports showing that approximately 30,-000,000 gallons of liquor were withdrawn from bonded warehouses last year. Between 5200,000,000 and $500,-000,000 of this bond should be paid to the government in income and excess profits taxes. So far as tax records show, no profits earned by bootleggers were reported or paid in taxes. Tax officials are looking longingly at the gross profits of the bootleggers last year, which were equal to the amount the government paid in interest on the entire war debt. BEAT FILM CENSOR BILL IN LEGISLATURE SACRAMENTO, April 14.—The Eden movie censor bill was defeated on the floor of the senate this morning when Eden asked that the resolution be withdrawn from committee, where it had become deadlocked.

TODAY'S RESULTS Taken from Board at Anaheim Bowling Alleys. Los Angeles ..... 1 0 0 0 0 0 3 Vernon ..... 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 Los Angeles: Stanage. Vernon: Hannah. No “Penalty Cities” In Southern Calif. There will be no “Penalty Cities” for auto owners in Southern California so far as insurance rates are concerner unless existing conditions change. “Penalty Cities” are cities which are charged larger automobile insurance rates than the average applying because automobiles operated in such cities represent an excessive insurance hazard. It will be cheaper to insure your car in this section of America than in any other part of the country because of the insurance ruling now in effect. If you are the owner of a certain medium priced car, for instance, which is being operated in Southern California, you can carry all lines of insurance for $111 while if you owned the same car in New York, it would cost you $412. All this advantage to local motorists can be traced to the Inter-Insurance Exchange of the Auto Club, which has forced insurance rates down to the level which makes it easy for all automobile owners to secure the necessary protection. According to figures made public for the first time, the club has saved motorists approximately $2,-169,000 since 1912 on insurance alone. Of this amount more than one half was a saying effected by automobile owners who are not members of the club but have profited by the low rates made possible through the clubs successful insurance exchange—the Inter-Insurance Exchange.

KISTNER, OF SAN DIEGO, DEMANDS PAYMENT FOR PLANS Says He Was Discharged After Going to Considerable Expense on Grammar Buildings Theodore C. Kistner, San Diego architect, today filed suit at Santa Ana for $4000 damages against L. F. Pomeroy, George W., oloop and Wm. M. Chambers, the trustees of the Anaheim grammar school district. In his petition Kistner states that on April 15, 1919, when it was proposed to call an election to issue bonds for "the erection of two school buildings costing about $100,-000, an oral contract was entered into by the trustees by which he was to receive 6 per cent. of the cost of the buildings for preparing the plans and specifications. When the bonds carried, Kistner says he proceeded to make preliminary drawings and to do other work in connection with the matter until August 15, 1919, when he received notice that he had been discharged. Kistner says he spent large sums of money in preparing these plans, in addition to devoting much time to them. There have been several changes in the personnel of the school board. LONDON ARMED FOR BIG LABOR REVOLT LONDON, April 14—London today is an armed camp. Drill halls are crowded with volunteers who are being prepared for emergency service. The government is rushing preparations to meet the most colossal industrial revolt in the history of civilization. Four million men are scheduled to strike tomorrow and tie up rail roads, transport docks and mines as a protest against after-war wage reductions. "I see no hope of settlement," J. H. Thomas, leader of railway men, declared after a conference between Premier Lloyd Gorge and triple alliance chiefs in an effort to avert the great strike called for tomorrow. As the labor leaders, in whose hands lies the power to throw Britain into industrial chaos, left the prime minister's official residence in Downing-st, it was reported that a deadlock had been reached in negotiations. Lloyd George, it was said, made a strong appeal to the triple alliance chieftains to defer the strike order which will halt railways and transport through the United Kingdom, pointing out grave danger to the nation which will be brot about by such a tieup, coming on top of the mine trike. Labor is understood to believe that its very existence is at stake, however, and that if miners fall in their fight against lower wages, there will be a general wage reduction in all trades. This sentiment was conveyed to Lloyd George. Following the conference, the triple alliance rushed its strike preparations while the government hastened troop movements and other measures being taken to combat the great walkout. Tension and excitement gripped London today, such as prevailed only during dark days of 1914, when the German menace loomed nearest. The nation's attention was riveted on the house in Downing-st, where the prime minister was trying to find a way out. Supporters found comfort in the thot that he always had found a way out before. They believed he would do so again. FOIL WOMAN LURE & BANDIT FAKING HURT LOS ANGELES, April 14—A Titan into by the trustees by which he was to receive 6 per cent of the cost of the buildings for preparing the plans and specifications. When the bonds carried, Kistner says he proceeded to make preliminary drawings and to do other work in connection with the matter until August 15, 1919, when he received notice that he had been discharged. Kistner says he spent large sums of money in preparing these plans, in addition to devoting much time to them. There have been several changes in the personnel of the school board since the matter in controversy transpired. At that time the trustees were L. F., Pomeroy, James EnEarl and Wm. M. Chambers. Since then Pomeroy and EnEarl have retired, the present trustees being Sloop, Chambers and H. E. Metcalf. SANTA MONICA TO BOWL HERE FRIDAY The biggest gallery that ever witnessed a bowling contest in Anaheim is expected tomorrow evening when Santa Monica Elks come for their first meeting with Anaheim in the Southern California Elks tourney.

The baseball stars are eligible for membership in the Santa Ana lodge but that body waived to Anaheim. Irish is back with the Philadelphia Nationals where he made such a batting record last year, while Bob is back with the New York Yanks. SPECIAL CHRISTIAN FOIL WOMAN LURE & BANDIT FAKING HURT LOS ANGELES, April 14.—A Titan-haired woman lure and a male accomplice attempted to stage a holdup on the Compton-Redondo Beach boulevard early today by making believe they had been seriously injured in an auto smashup, according to a report made to the sheriff's office by George Phillips of Gardena. The woman was stretched motionless on the pavement beside an auto. Her male accomplice was lying on the footboard at the side of the car. Suspicious, Phillips drove past the apparently injured couple. On looking back he saw the woman and the man leap to their feet, climb into their machine and drive away hurriedly. It was said the man was armed and that the woman also carried a revolver. DRAMATIST OPERATED ON LOS ANGELES, April 14.—Edward J. Knoblock, famous British dramatist, underwent a minor throat operation today at the Good Samaritan hospital. He had been ill for more than a week and as a result of the operation will be a patient at the hospital for a week.
