This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understanding That Its Circulation Equals Any Three Others In This Field. Vol. XXIV—No. 230. 200 WOMEN Enlarge Plans for Construction on Biggest Garage in Orange County Will be Completed in about Three Weeks when Dunton Will Immediately Move In Contractors Wilson & Bever are rushing to completion the $30,000 Ford and Fordson establishment of George Dunton at Adele and Los Angeles-ats, the largest garage and auto concern in Orange-co. The construction program has reached the point where the interior and exterior decorators will soon be on the job. The contractors hope to have the building completed about May 20 when Dunton plans immediately to tackle the big job of moving his equipment and stock. Despite the fact that his present quarters are by no means small, having been practically doubled within three years since he acquired the agency, he has been forced to make liberal Repeat Orders Coming From Foreign Markets Following the attendance at the weekly meeting of the Calif. Fruit Growers' Exchange yesterday, Chas. Eygabroad stated today that the board had determined to make all possible utilization of available steamer shipping space for citrus fruits to the eastern seaboard. "Cargoes of ten to 20 cars of citrus fruit will be going forward every few days from now on," declared the Anaheim director of the fruit exchange today. "Many Valencia oranges will be shipped, under circulating ventilating ventilation, that is, fans will be used to force a circulation of air through compartments housing the oranges. "Our decision to push the ocean plan of citrus fruit transportation has been arrived at because of the very desirable results of the shipments that have been made in that manner."

The construction program has reached the point where the interior and exterior decorators will soon be on the job. The contractors hope to have the building completed about May 20 when Dunton plans immediately to tackle the big job of moving his equipment and stock. Despite the fact that his present quarters are by no means small, having been practically doubled within three years since he acquired the agency, he has been forced to make liberal use of outside storage for his large surplus stock of accessories, implements, cars, tractors, trucks, etc. In the new building he hopes to be able to accommodate all such in the 20,500 feet of ground floor space, besides several thousand feet more in a mezzanine floor built especially for stockrooms. An idea of the extent of the building may be gained from the fact that the construction required 18,000 tile, 50,000 brick, 21,700 cubic feet of concrete, 20,500 square feet of cement floor, 2400 squares or roofing, 848 square feet of plate glass, 13 plumbing fixtures, etc. The display room will be finished in a light tint, probably old ivory. It will be lighted at night by eight 300-watt lights, making it stand out for the attention of the heavy traffic on the state highway as the most attractively lighted show room in Los Angeles. The exterior will be finished in a cement plaster with rough or sand finish tinted bull. As to the reason for the big building: Dunton reported that new car sales for this month so far were 35 compared with 29 all last month, while used car sales for April were today eight compared with three in March. Other branches of the business have been increasing proportionately. TWO PETITIONS ON S. A. MAN'S ESTATE Two petitions seeking letters of administration upon the estate of Eustace S. Young, known as Earl J. Easton, recently killed with a woman supposed to be his wife in an auto accident south of Santa Ana, will come up for hearing Friday morning in Dept. 1 of the superior court at Santa Ana. The petition was filed April 5 by Public Administrator Chas P. Brown for Mrs. Young, of San Diego, who is said to claim she was awarded a decree of divorce in March, about three weeks before the accident. The second petition was filed by John A. Harvey also claiming to represent Mrs. Young on the basis of her being the legal wife of the deceased. The estate is estimated at $6000. TO PROBE BRIDAL Anaheim director of the fruit exchange today. "Many Valencia oranges will be shipped, under circulating ventilating ventilation, that is, fans will be used to force a circulation of air through compartments housing the oranges. Our decision to push the ocean plan of citrus fruit transportation has been arrived at because of the very desirable results of the shipments that have been made in that manner. "We have just received an order for a second cargo of 20 carloads of oranges for the European market. This first shipment of this kind to Liverpool, the ten days late in delivery, was in good condition and was all sold at good prices, creating the demand for more shipments." FAIL TO FIND CAR TAKEN IN DAY TIME W. H. Buck is still looking for his 1918 Buick touring car which was stolen about 10 a.m. Tuesday from in front of a garage. He was absent from the car less than 30 minutes. With the car was taken an overcoat and gripful of valuable papers belonging to an agent for the Equitable Life Insurance Co. Buck cannot understand why his car should have been taken when it was standing right beside a Big Six Studebaker, particularly since he who undertook all the car's caprices, was hardly able to get it started at times on account of battery trouble. EXPECTING RECORD TOURIST SEASON With the coming of May 1, the touring bureau of the Auto Club of So. Calif., announces that it is prepared to handle a rush for touring information which is expected to exceed all past records. For the first time in history complete road information will be available thru the Club for summer tours throughout the southern part of the United States. This information was gathered first hand by club scouts recently. Present indications show that motorists are starting on long trips from this part of the state earlier than ever before, which, according to past experiences, indicates that summer vacation trips by auto will reach unprecedented proportions. Motorists who wish information covering Washington and Oregon and northern Calif. will also get special service on this from the Club touring bureau, according to an official announcement. ASK HIGHER WATER RATES A 326 per cent increase in water rates is asked of the railroad commission in an application filled by the Olive Milling Co., which supplies the residents in and near Olive with water.

TO PROBE BRIDAL TRIP OF GOMPERS DETROIT, Mich., April 28.—The Detroit Federation of Labor Wednesday night appointed a committee to investigate Samuel Gompers' honey-moon. This action was taken after it had been charged that Gompers and his bride registered at a non-union hotel, that his food was prepared by non-union cooks and that he was served by non-union waiters. If the committee finds Gompers guilty he will be asked for an explanation. PICKING FINE FRUIT FROM SEWER FARM The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn. began picking Valencias from the city sewer farm on the Garden Grove road today. The fruit is especially fine. The 20 acres, much of which is in young trees, has about 3000 field boxes. Not all of this will be picked now.

ASK HIGHER WATER RATES A 226 per cent increase in water rates is asked of the railroad commission in an application filed by the Olive Milling Co., which supplies the residents in and near Olive with water. The company established a flouring mill in Olive 30 years ago established a water system for the benefit of its employees, collecting for the service "charges which were never based upon any estimate of the cost of running the water system." In 1919 the corporation sold the mill but retained the water system. According to the application they discovered that the water rates they had been charging were totally insufficient. 36 NEW WELLS STARTED Oil field operations reported the week ending April 23, show 36 new wells started as compared with 23 the previous week; total new wells this year 477 compared with 273 same date last year.

RAPS SUNDAY DATE OF VALENCIA SHOW 32nd Annual Convention Called to Order at 10 a.m. by President, Mrs. Cora Hale The 32nd annual convention of the Orange-co Women's Christian Temperance Union, in session today and tomorrow at the Methodist White Temple, this morning passed a resolution opposing the opening of the Valencia Orange Show on Sunday, and giving full support to the movement against it by the Orange-co Clerical Club. Dr. Geissinger, in the exchange of greetings, called attention to the fact that all the churches of Anaheim were opposed to the opening of this show on Sunday. One church held back awhile but it has come on record now in opposing the show, Dr. Geissinger said. Dr. Geissinger also called attention to the things which the church RIO HONDO BRIDGE TO BE OPENED SOON LA. HABRA, April 27.—The pontoon bridge over the Rio Hondo river on Whittier-blyd has been installed. The state highway commission has had the work in charge and as soon as the approaches can be graded, within 10 days the boulevard will be opened to the public. The state will build a fine cement bridge over the river and this work will cover more than a year. During that time the pontoon bridge will be used. ORANGE SHOW MOVIE TO BE SHOWN HERE "Ana visits Anaheim," a moving picture taken under the auspices of the Anaheim C. of C., will be shown at Los Angeles three weeks starting Saturday, 12 performances a day, it was stated today at the office of Malcom A. Fraser, secretary of the local C. of C. Thru the courtesy of Head and Ingram of the local theatres, the TRIO OF INTRUDERS ATTEMPT TO IGNITE HOUSE AT CYPRESS C. E. Gorthy Threatened with Gun by Mexican Accompanied by Two Other Men Deputy sheriffs today were attempting to unravel a mystery at Cypress last night when C. E. Gorthy was aroused to find three unknown men acting strangely at his front door and that an attempt had been made to set fire to his residence. It was about 2 a.m. when Gorthy was aroused. He went to the door with his faithful watch-dog, an Alireale. He saw a large bare-footed Mexican in the act of setting fire to a corner of the house. A quantity of paper, covered with kerosene, had been ignited. The Mexican had driven up in a horse and buggy. Two other men, whose identity Gorthy could not Temple, this morning passed a resolution opposing the opening of the Valencia Orange Show on Sunday, and giving full support to the movement against it by the Orange-co Clerical Club. Dr. Geissinger, in the exchange of greetings, called attention to the fact that all the churches of Anaheim were opposed to the opening of this show on Sunday. One church held back awhile but it has come on record now in opposing the show, Dr. Geissinger said. Dr. Geissinger also called attention to the things which the church has done to make Anaheim "dryer" in the appointment of a committee of five to assist in carrying out the law. He stated that scientific teaching in the home and in school and thru the public press and via the pulpit has been the most potential factor in the nation towards the victory of the prohibitionists. He commented favorably on the passage of the Wright bill which is to enforce prohibition in this state, and called attention to the fact that only by keeping public sentiment, aroused against whiskey could it be hoped to keep the federal amendment on the constitution. Dr. Geissinger's talk of welcome was replied to by Mrs. Anna Hill of Santa Ana. The resolution opposing the Orange Show opening Sunday was as follows: "Whereas, the Valencia Orange Show to be held in Anaheim May 17-22 is intending to keep open on Sunday afternoon and evening, and has already defied the expressed sentiment of that portion of the community that considers the Sabbath day a 'holy day' not to be used for commercial advantage, or public entertainment, therefore the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Orange-co, assembled in annual convention in Anaheim today, April 28, protests against this action, and deplores its influence for evil on the community. And we recommend the actions and efforts of the Orange-co Clerical Club for better observance of Sunday, and pledge to this movement our united support." The convention was called to order at 10 a.m. with a large attendance present from all parts of the county with Mrs. Cora Hale, president, in the chair. Devotional services were in charge of Mrs. Fannie Lash. There was a roll call, the appointment of committees and the report of officers. Following the address of Dr. Geissinger and Mrs. Hill, the president gave her annual message. Mrs. Elizabeth Mills gave the history of the Orange-co W. C. T. U.. The motto of the morning service was "Look forward, not backward; let us live the life of action," and "In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand, for thou knowest not whither shall prosper, either this or that whether both shall be alike, good." The first part of the afternoon was an official board meeting, followed ORANGE SHOW MOVIE TO BE SHOWN HERE "Ana visits Anaheim," a moving picture taken under the auspices of the Anaheim C. of C., will be shown at Los Angeles three weeks starting Saturday, 12 performances a day, it was stated today at the office of Malcom A.

Coalinga-Mohawk Will Be Put On Production Newport Field Although held up for several weeks with a fishing job, the Coalinga-Mohawk is to be put on a production test and tried out thoroughly for oil at 3900 feet. The parting of a string of tubing at 3350 caused the Interstate Oil Co. to test out its Mesa No. 1 at a higher level. Should the test fail it will not be conclusive by any means. Drilling at 1950 feet the Laguna Beach Oil Association's No. I has been showing considerable oil for some time, and looks rather good. After drilling to 1625 feet the Folkerson Oil Co. on account of pipe trouble was compelled to come back to 1400 and shoot off a string of casing. The Northland Oil Co. has completed the work of moving the rig to a new location and has drilled 200 feet of hole in the new well. The Wirscher and Gray Oil Company, a new company to enter the Newport Yield, has spudded in and is drilling. The new well is located at the head of Newport Bay and its drilling is attracting some attention. The Nu Santa Oil Assn. spudded in last week and now has 300 feet of hole. Drilling on the Long Beach Consolidated is now at 2400 feet. The formation is showing shale and sand, with a little gas occasionally. EVENTS SCHEDULED A.C.G. GARDEN GROVE, April 27. — The Ladies' Aid society of the Methodist church will hold their regular meeting with Mrs. Fred Andrews at her home one mile north and a quarter mile east of town. Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. A banquet will be served to the Garden Grove C. of C. members and their wives, at the Garden Grove hotel Monday evening, May 9. Mr. George Reiburn will represent the Garden Grove C. of C. at the Commercial Secretaries of So. Calif. convention to be held at Avalon April 20. ARKANSAS PEOPLE PICNIC All who ever lived in the Apple Valley man acted strangely at his front door and that an attempt had been made to set fire to his residence. It was about 2 a.m. when Gorthy was aroused. He went to the door with his faithful watch-dog, an Alredale. He saw a large bare-footed Mexican in the act of setting fire to a corner of the house. A quantity of paper, covered with kerosene, had been ignited. The Mexican had driven up in a horse and buggy. Two other men, whose identity Gorthy could not distinguish, had an auto and trailer. Gorthy sent his dog after the Mexican who threw a long dirk at the canine, barely missing it. The Mexican then drew a big revolver more than a foot long, and threatened Gorthy. However, the dog made it so unpleasant for the intruders that all drove away. Their flight was precipitated by the appearance of a second man from the house, a guest of Gorthy. Apparently the intruders had expected to find Gorthy the only man on the premises. Gorthy is at a loss to explain the reason for the visit of the trio unless they planned to make a wholesale robbery. ADOPT PLANS FOR LIGHTING SYSTEM Fullerton trustees held an adjourned meeting last night to take up matters laid over the previous night that the board might attend the meeting of the A.C. of C. in a body. Plans for the ornamental lights were submitted by Ben Dupuy, city engineer, and these plans placed the lights in the middle of the street on Commonwealth ave which is 100 ft wide. It also provided for the lights to be run as far west as Richmond ave on the request of the property owners of that section. The plans were adopted. The building ordinance was slightly amended to give the city a more thorough control on regulating buildings. The narrowing of the fire zone No. 1 was discussed and a committee appointed to determine how much it should be narrowed. The zoning and subdividing of the unsubdivided land in the city to prevent the spread of oil leasing within the city limits was discussed but no action taken. REAL ESTATE BROKER LICENSED TO WED John C. Cordes, 56, wellknown realty man, has taken out a license to wed Maria Baumler, 46, of Anaheim. The rumor has been spread that the wedding will not take place for a couple of weeks yet, but Mr. Cordes friends can see no possible reason why he should take out a license so far in advance, knowing that he must be "kidded" in the meantime; and their suspicions are committees and the report of officers. Following the address of Dr. Geissinger and Mrs. Hill, the president gave her annual message, Mrs. Elizabeth Mills gave the history of the Orange-co W. C. T. U.. The motto of the morning service was "Look forward, not backward; let us live the life of action," and "In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand, for thou knowest not whither shall prosper, either this or that whether they both shall be alike, good." The first part of the afternoon was an official board meeting, followed by memorial services led by Mrs. Sarah Brown, with special music. Mrs. A. M. McDermott then made a talk on "A Glimpse of our World-Wide Work." Mrs. Helen M. Stoddard, state president, made a talk on legislation. Mrs. Stoddard has been in Sacramento during the present legislative session. The motto of the evening was "Tune the lives of our boys and girls to the same key, teaching them the same sports, the same books, the same standards of purity." There will be a jubilee banquet at the White Temple this evening given by the Ladler' Aid Society. The convention will remain in session tomorrow. Fullerton representatives were: Mrs. Welton, Mrs. Blackford and Mrs. Parker. CAR ALLEGED STOLEN IN S. A. RECOVERED A Dodge touring car, declared to have been rented of the Copson agency at Santa Ana about ten days ago by Walter Hill, who failed to return it, was again in the possession of H. L. Copson today, following its recovery in Los Angeles. Hill, who is wanted on a charge of embezzling the car and also of passing several worthless checks in this city and vicinity, contracted a bill of $32.26 in a Los Angeles garage for repairs to the car. It was stated. This amount, together with a reward of $50 offered by Copson for the machine's recovery, will be paid by the latter to the garagoman, who reported to the Auto Club of Sou. Calif., the fact that he had the car in his shop. Los Angeles Piano house has piano in Anaheim that can be bought for balance owing. Write J. King, Collection Depth, 928 S. Broadway, Los Angeles.

The rumor has been spread that the wedding will not take place for a couple of weeks yet, but Mr. Cordes' friends can see no possible reason why he should take out a license so far in advance, knowing that he must be "kidded" in the meantime; and their suspicions are further increased by the fact that he has gone to Los Angeles today. Whether he went alone is what his friends are anxiously waiting to learn. PRESIDENT REVIEWS BIG ATLANTIC FLEET ABOARD THE PRESIDENTIAL YACHT MAYFLOWER, OFF THIMBLE LIGHT, HAMPTON ROADS, Va. April 28. — Grim and hardy looking from the weeks spent in strenuous war maneuvers in southern waters, the great Atlantic fleet swung majestically in review thru Hampton Roads today before President Harding, the new commander-in-chief of the nation's armed forces. Half a hundred warships, headed by superdreadnaught Pennsylvania one of the greatest of her class afloat made up the long line of steel giants which steamed up the roads and slowly passed the trim little Mayflower from which the President viewed the significant spectacle. The Pennsylvania is also the flagship and bore Admiral Henry B. Wilson, the commander-in-chief. Close on the heels of the Pennsylvania came 11 other capital ships their colors flying their crews standing smartly at the deck rails in satute as they steamed by. Then came 40 other warcraft.

He was examined by Dr. H. E. Zaiser of the county hospital and Dr. R. A. Cushman. Jackson declares that he is in daily communication with the devil. He also believes that he is the prodigal son of the devil and that his real name is "Devil." Jackson was arrested last February in a canyon near El Modena after putting up a desperate fight with the sheriff and several deputies. He was caught in the act of stealing a coat from the barn of a rancher. A battle followed. For several months he lived in a dingy hut on the Irvine ranch. The authorities have been unable to learn just how he provided himself with food. STATE NOW PILING UP SURPLUS OF OIL The extent and results of Elk Hills development is important to both the producer and consumer of petroleum. Since January 1, this year WOMEN WORKERS IN PERIL AS BIG PLANT SWEPT BY FLAMES Starting in Drying Room, Explosions Abett Fire in Golden State Woolen Mills Sweeping in a most spectacular manner through the large structure, fire early today destroyed the Golden State Woolen Mills, located between Long Beach and Wilmington, resulting in a loss estimated at $800,000 to $1,000,000. Approximately 200 men and women employes of the night shift were at work in the big plant when the fire was discovered shortly after 4.a.m. The flames spread so rapidly thru the plant that it was with difficulty that many of the women were aided in reaching the street. A check made after daylight, however, showed no one was injured. A number of explosions occurred while the fire was at its height, adding to the danger to firemen and employees. These explosions, it was said, resulted when the flames reached tanks of oils used in the plant. Starting in the dry room, apparently from spontaneous combustion. STATE NOW PILING UP SURPLUS OF OIL The extent and results of Elk Hills development is important to both the producer and consumer of petroleum. Since January 1, this year, almost two million barrels of oil has been run into storage, largely because of the influence of Elk Hills on the production of the state. The flow of oil has been turned from shortage to surplus. With Elk Hills production continuing at the present rate and no serious deflection in the production of other fields, the output of the state for 1921 should be close to 120 million barrels. This would be an increase of 14,000,000 barrels over the production of 1920. A rapid decline in flush production of the present wells, in the Elk Hills, and smaller initial productions in the later new wells, may cause the production to fall short of the 120 million mark. On the other hand, if the additional wells drilling or planned on Sec. 8, T. 31 S., R. 25 E., M. D. B. & M., and on Sec. 1, T. 31 S., R. 24 E., M. D. B. & M., by the navy department, are as successful as wells now producing on other sections, the output for the year 1921 may go far ahead of the possible 120 million. Records of production and consumption for the year 1920 showed that about 8,000,000 barrels of oil were drawn out of storage. This amount, added to the production of 1920, was necessary to satisfy market requirements, which were close to 114 million barrels. Possibly the state can handle an equivalent amount in 1921 without seriously altering present economic relationship. The three factors of the moment, which may cause a less acute demand for California petroleum than that of 1920, are the relief of the hydro-electric power situation by abundant snowfall, with a concurrent release of petroleum products for substitute power, the big drop in the price of eastern and mid-continent crudes, leaving a price balance favorable to the importation of petroleum products from other states, and an almost complete shut-down of western copper furnaces, which use large quantities of California fuel oil.

A check made after daylight, however, showed no one was injured. A number of explosions occurred while the fire was at its height, adding to the danger to firemen and employees. These explosions, it was said, resulted when the flames reached tanks of oils used in the plant. Starting in the dry room, apparently from spontaneous combustion, the fire was burning fiercely when discovered by employees. The flames leaped across a 20-foot passageway between the dry room to the main structure, melting the glass of the windows. The entire fire department of Long Beach responded to the alarm, but it was found that the deep wells on the grounds for fire protection purposes were dry. As a result the fire engines were able to pump only a small amount of mud. Firemen and male employees ran through the ground floor and succeeded in saging materials and equipment valued at $50,000. A company of Los Angeles business men owned the plant, which has been working on a $500,000 order of woolen materials. C.B. Ire is president of the company. BUNGALOW COURT GOING UP RAPIDLY Construction of the $45,000 bungalow-et-on Clementine-st, near Cherries-st, by Ross Bross, of the Orange-co Reality Co., is progressing most satisfactorily.

The exterior is red press, indented brick with black mortor. ARIZ. JUDGE AND U.S. ATTY. IN LEGAL WAR PHOENIX, April 28.—There is a legal war on between Federal Judge W. H. Sawtelle of this city and Attorney General Daugherty. The former has openly defied the latter and sensational results are expected. Following a request for special instructions, Judge Sawtelle has called the federal grand jury into court and announced that it can compel the federal district attorney to attend its meetings and cooperate with it in the proposed investigation of money expenditures during the last fall's political campaign. Judge Sawtelle then directed that the district attorney act with the grand jury to this end.
