It was stated today at the Elk Park tract on No. Los Angeles-st: The show committee moved its headquarters from the C. of C., building this morning to the grounds where it will remain until after the show. Work inside the tent, which has been erected some time, is progressing rapidly, as is also the outside preparations.

D. Heitshusen, of Claudina and Chartress-sts. The latter reported today he had been approached by a representative of the Standard Oil Co., and urged to hold his ranch for a lease to the Standard. The ranch in question is on the Ball, road southeast of Anaheim, between the Santa Fe and S. P. railroads. Standard Oil operations there would mean drilling within one and one-half miles of the center of Anaheim. A project was under way two months ago for the organization of 3 DAYS IN WHICH GERMANY MAY ACT PARIS, May 10.—Berlin dispatches to the French foreign office today indicated Germany will accept the allied ultimatum. The message was not made public, but at the Qual D'Orsay it appeared to be accepted that the Germans will sign. With only 60 hours remaining before expiration of the allied ultimatum, France was prepared for the "jump off." Indicative of French feeling was the letter of Cardinal Dubois, of Paris, made public today. Addressing the Archbishop of Cologne, the cardinal said: "France's patience is exhausted The people's sense of justice cannot be hurt with impunity. "We demand only justice." BERLIN, May 10.—Unexpected opposition to acceptance of the allied ultimatum developed among Reichstag leaders today. All night sessions of party leaders failed to bring the Democrats and Volkspartei leaders into agreement with the majority Socialists who favor accepting the demands. At 1 a.m. the Volkspartei caucus voted against acceptance. The democrats continued in session. If the democrats finally oppose acceptance, the question will stand a chance of defeat and the allied invasion will start as planned. The reichstag was to meet at 4 p.m. for action on the allied demands. ATTRACTIVE STORE OPENED THURSDAY Kustiner's, Anabheim's newest men's and boy's furnishings store, will be thrown open to the public for inspection between the hours of 4 and 9 p.m. Thursday.

ON SERIOUS CHARGE Charged with having committed a statutory offense against a 17-year old girl of Santa Ana, Elmer Woodward, a sailor attached to the destroyer base at San Diego, yesterday was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Cox. His hearing was set for May 19 at 10 o'clock and his ball was fixed at $3000. He is being held in the county jail in default. Woodward told the court that his liberty period expired at 8 o'clock this morning and asked that the court notify the commanding officer of his predicament. Woodward said that he wired the officer himself last night after his arrest here. The complaint against him was sworn to by the mother of the girl. LETTER MAY SOLVE BRUTAL MURDER SAN DIEGO, May 10.—Solution of the mystery surrounding the brutal murder of a man at Spring Valley, near here, ten days ago, may follow the receipt here of a letter from Mrs. M. A. Morey, postoffice box 266, Mayville, N.Y. Mrs. Morey says her husband was in exivo sceveral weeks ago, and has not been heard from. The murdered man's cap was purchased in Buffalo, N.Y., where Morey was before leaving for this coast. Morey also answers the description of the slain man, whose body was saturated with oil and burned after he was shot. KIWANIS BUSINESS MEETING The regular weekly meeting of the Anabheim Kiwanis Club was held at noon today at the high school cafeteria. The meeting was given over J. D. Heitshusen, of Claudina and Chartress-sts. The latter reported today he had been approached by a representative of the Standard Oil Co., and urged to hold his ranch for a lease to the Standard. The ranch in question is on Ball road southeast of Anaheim, between the Santa Fe and S.P. railroads. Standard Oil operations there would mean drilling within one and one-half miles of the center of Anaheim. A project was under way two months ago for the organization of an independent company to drill in that vicinity but it could not be put over. SCHOOL FACILITIES ABSORBING TOPIC High school facilities was the absorbing topic at the largely attended annual meeting of the Garden Grove C. of C. last night. Today a special committee composed of R.B. Ritchie, Edw., Chaffee and Ed.Dozier was making an investigation into whistler the Santa Ana, Orange or Anaheim high schools had room for students from the Garden Grove district. The prevailing sentiment last night seemed to be that if the new law forced the Garden Grove grammar district to join a high school district or to form a high school district of its own, that the latter should be done. If a juncture with another high school district is not compulsory, the sentiment seemed to be that students be sent to other high schools should it be found there was room for them. BEBE DANIELS PAYS ORANGE SHOW VISIT Miss Bebe Daniels was a visitor at the Anabheim Orange show grounds this morning, saying she was paying "dear orange-co" another visit, the first since her release from the county jail. She gave Malcom Fraser, secretary of the C. of C., a picture of herself taken behind the prison bars, with an inscription in her own handwriting saying that it doesn't pay to speed. She stated she and a group of her admirers would visit the Orange show when it gets in "full swing."

ATTRACTIVE STORE OPENED THURSDAY Kustiner's, Anabeim's newest men's and boy's furnishings store, will be thrown open to the public for inspection between the hours of 4 and 9 p.m. Thursday. Nothing will be on sale at that time, the object being merely that the public may see the attractive display of new merchandise which will be offered in shining, new show cases, cabinets and shelving. Joseph Kustiner, the owner and proprietor, is a leading merchant in Pasadena. In looking about So. Calif., for a city in which to locate another store, he decided upon Anaheim as offering the greatest opportunities. That he is well pleased with Anaheim may be gathered from his announcement that he will move his family here from Pasadena as soon as he can find a residence. DRIVES AUTO THRU BRICK GARAGE WALL LOS ANGELES, May 10—After a thrilling chase of several miles on Washington-blvd. Motorcycle Officer L. Carwood of Culver City overlook and arrested J. J.

MAXIMUM MERCURY The maximum temperature today was 76 at 2 p.m., it was reported at the Anaheim Orange and Lemon association. WELL-DRESEMAN DRAINS POISON CUP LOS ANGELES, May 10—Pouring the contents of a bottle of deadly poison into a small tin folding cup, a fashionably dressed man, 24, drank the death potion and was found dead shortly before 9 o'clock today in a cluster of trees in front of a manufacturing company at 2702 South Alameda street. The cup was still clutched in the man's hand when F. Klinker, an employee of the manufacturing company, parked his car beneath the trees and discovered the body at the foot of one of them. A small bottle, the label of which had been scratched off, lay beside the body. Detectives declare the man's death was caused from carbolle acid, as the face and lips of the dead man were badly burned.

TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR SEA IN YEAR BRITISH FACE NEW INDUSTRIAL CONFLICT LONDON, May 10.—Renewed danger of industrial war threatened Great Britain today. "Bob" Williams, secretary of the Transport Workers, was prepared to stampede his followers into a strike when the union executives met this forenoon. Railway troubles threatened when the government ordered the Caledonian Road in Scotland to "carry out its public duties." The order was issued when union railway men refused to handle non-union coal. SO. PAC CONTESTS FREIGHT REDUCTION WASHINGTON, May 10.—An attack on the "widespread propaganda" for lower freight rates opened the senate interstate commerce committee's investigation of the railroads today. Julius Krüttschmitt, chairman of the board of the Southern Pacific told the committee that general deflation and not high freight rates was responsible for business stagnation. He blamed this situation for inability of producers to dispose of their products and charged that in many cases the middleman was responsible for lower rate agitation. The witness proposed a series of reforms involving regulation of transportation systems competing with the railroads. RUSH PREPARATION OF REFRIGERATION IN FRUIT STEAMERS Exchange Directors Enter Into Arrangements with Owners of Fruit Steamers Charles Eygabroad, director of the Calif. Fruit Growers' Exchange, reported to No. Orange-co Fruit Exchange directors yesterday afternoon that the Exchange had entered into arrangement with owners of steamships by which refrigerator departments on a large scale will be installed for the transportation of oranges to the eastern seaboard. By fall, Eygabroad stated, it is believed 25 per cent of Calif. oranges well be going east in refrigerator ships and within a year the movement will be 50 per cent. The work of installing refrigerator equipment will be rushed as rapidly as practical. Giving an idea of what extensive savings will be made to growers in fast fruit ships over rail tariffs, Eygabroad today issued the following figures: The present railroad rate on oranges to the eastern seaboard is $1.92 per 100 lbs. The water rate is 70c. Adding to the latter figure 12c for trucking from packing house to dock, there is an advantage of $1.10 in ocean shipping. Counting 400 horses to pack oranges for an annual supply. CILITIES BING TOPIC Utilities was the abbreviation largely attended by the Garden Grove district. Today a specialEd. Dozier was negotiation into whit-orange or Anaheim room for students Grove district. Sentiment last be that if the new Garden Grove gram-lin a high school is at the latter should with another high not compulsory, to be that students right schools should was room for them. ELS PAYS SHOW VISIT Elks was a visitor at orange show grounds saying that she was Orange-co) another once her release from Fraser, secretary picture of herself the prison bars, with her own hand-that it doesn't pay to and a group of her visit the Orange show full swing." USED MAN POISON CUP May 10.—Pouring a bottle of deadly tail tin folding cup, passed man, 24, drank and was found dead on front at a manu-ny at $702 South JULIUS KRUTTSCHMITT, chairman of the board of the Southern Pacific told the committee that general deflation and not high freight rates was responsible for business stagnation. He blamed this situation for inability of producers to dispose of their products and charged that in many cases the middleman was responsible for lower rate agitation. The witness proposed a series of reforms involving regulation of transportation systems competing with the railroads. "The fact is," Kruttschnitt said, "that ever since the rates have been advanced, the cost of transporting commodities is far less than the toll taken by the commission merchant and the retailer. Consequently, people are misled and conclude that high rates have stopped the movement of a large amount of freight and that the railways would make more money if they would reduce rates and thereby revive traffic. Many commodities would not move even if the freight charges on them were abolished entirely, because producers can find no market." The witness continued, and in support of this pointed out that while ocean rates have been at their lowest point in their history, "ships here and abroad are idle." Taking the acse of lemons, Kruttschnitt said the trouble was Sicilian competition and not the freight rates. The facts about freight rates on canteoupes had been misrepresented in schmitt said. JOINS CHURCHMEN: WALKS FROM JAIL LOS ANGELES. May 10.—Church services had just been finished at the Lincoln Heights police station, the crowd of good people who bring cheer to the prisoners walked from the building with their Bibles and song books. But they did not know that Lewis Fletcher, a prisoner, was among them. Today officials of the jail discovered that Fletcher had escaped. He was arrested February 17 on a charge of violating the state poison law and was sentenced to serve 150 days. He had 11 days yet to serve. BEUNOS AIRES FEARS RIOTS BEUNOS AIRES. May 10.—Mounted police, heavily armed, guarded all approaches to docks here today to prevent clashes between union and non-union workers. The port was so tightly sealed that recent arrivals were unable to claim their baggage from the customs office. Police were posted when employers announced they would replace striking dock workers with non-union men. Union men threatened violence if replaced. BANDITS GET $450 LOOT STOCKTON, Cal., May 10.—W. V. Reynolds of Sacramento reported to police he was robbed of $450 at Lodi last night. Reynolds made arrange- The work of installing refrigerator equipment will be rushed as rabidly as practical. Giving an idea of what extensive savings will be made to growers in fast fruit ships over rail tariffs, Eygabroad today issued the following figures: The present railroad rate onanges to the eastern seaboard is $1.92 per 100 lbs. The water rate is 70c. Adding to the latter figure 12c for trucking from packing house to dock, there is an advantage of $1.10 in ocean shipping. Counting 400 boxes to the groce for an average full-bearing groce, and 72 lbs. per box, the 28,800 pounds of oranges would be hauled by water at a saving to the grower of $316.80; for a 10-acre groce, this saving would be $3168, which would be a nice income for the average family. However, it is not likely the Exchange will attempt to ship more than half the total orange production by water, hence this saving to the average grower would be about half, or $1584 for a tenacre groce. On the same basis, the saving for the Anaheim district for 50 per cent of a crop of 1,200,000 boxes or 3000 cars as this year, would be $475,000, which would prove no inconsiderable boost to the community. Eygabroad also reports the Exchange has purchased 30 airtight rubber-coated tents from the Los Angeles factory of the Goodyear Rubber Co. for a thorough test of economies claimed for them in fumigation. They are expected to save about 18 of 20 cents on an average ten-year old tree by preventing the escape of fumigating gases. Two tent were tried out by the Exchange last season. They gave such promise that the more extended test is now to be made. It is claimed they are not only more economical but more efficient and that they will revolutionize the fumigating business. The rubber-coated tents cost about twice the ordinary duck or canvas affairs. By reason of the getting into production of the big lumber mills owned by the Exchange in Lassen-co, more desirable contracts are being made this year for box shook. Whereas the shook last year, cost $33q for a box of citrus fruit, compared with 13 cents before the war, the price this year is $23c. The Lassen mills are being engaged in sawing good lumber for the market, only poorer timber being used for shook. However, the fact the Exchange possesses the mill is making for much lower offerings from outside mills. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn. will receive a report tonight on a change in arrangement for payment of orange pickers. The base pay will be 30c per hour for a day's work of 40 boxes. In addition a bonus will be paid for all over 40 boxes, the condition of the fruit in absence of mechanical injury adding to the bonus. A good picker should average 60 boxes of fruit with around one per cent loss from mechanical injury, it is asserted.
