The Orange LEAD Vol. XXIV—Nc. 260 OFFICIALS TO GREET LUMBER SCHOONER'S ARRIVAL AT HARBOR MEXICANS, CHINESE READY FOR BATTLE Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, June 3. The Mexican and Chinese merchants of Nogales are "peeved" at each other today and steps are being taken by the authorities to prevent a possible outbreak. The trouble arose when the Chinese, who practically control the merchantile business of the town, refused to join a movement started by the Mexican merchants to close their stores at 6 o'clock. The Chinese insist upon keeping open till 9 o'clock. The Mexicans have sent a memorial to Governor de la Hectora and the state congress urging enactment of an early closing law. SANTA ANA REJECTS MID-WEEK HOLIDAY Expressing the belief that the economic situation did not warrant the interruption to the week's business, the Santa Ana M. and M. Assn. directors today declined to approve the half-holiday planned for each Thursday by the Orange-co Clerical club. The ministers had urged the mid-week holiday as a move toward stricter observance of the Sabbath by removing the objection that recreation was possible for many clerks and First Consignment of Such Magnitude to Enter County Bay Within 21 Years The S. S. Albion will be the vessel which, after an elapse of 21 years, will inaugurate the shipment of lumber into Orange-co harbar tomorrow. It was first stated the consignment would come from Wilmington by barge, towed by tug. Today it was announced a schooner, drawing eight feet of water and having a capacity of 200,000 feet of lumber, would be the carrier. The Albion is scheduled to arrive off the mouth of the harbor at 3 p.m. Saturday. A large delegation of officials representing the county and various municipalities will be on hand. The consignment had been scheduled to arrive yesterday but there was a delay in loading. The shipment will, in a measure, signal resumption of a traffic which obtained in the harbor 25 and 30 years ago, and which was interrupted with the building of the long wharf on the ocean front at Newport Beach. The lumber is for use in building residences on the South Santa Ana subdivision at Costa Mest. It is believed by many that the arrival of the barge loaded with lumber should be made the occasion for a general jollicification. No effort has been made to organize a celebration but all those present will come together.

Assn. directors today declined to approve the half-holiday planned for each Thursday by the Orange-co Clerical club. The ministers had urged the mid-week holiday as a move toward stricter observance of the Sabbath by removing the objection that recreation was possible for many clerks and other employees only on Sunday. The Santa Ana merchant directors stated at this time it was desirable to give as much service as possible for a dollar. LOS ANGELES ELKS COMING TONIGHT A large gallery of rooters will be on hand tonight when the Anaheim Elks bowling team goes up against the stiff Los Angeles No. 1 team. Anaheim is in third place in the So. Cal. Elks league and crowding the second place holders. In a special match last night a team headed by Gordon totalled 2754 pins against a team hended by Heffron which won 2016. First team averages were: Gordon 214, Myre 162, Holmes 178, Johnson 164, Goodwin 199; second team averages were: Heffron 166, Efker 178, Dugan 179, Kona 188, Kuram 170. HUNTINGTON BEACH VOTES DOWN BONDS Municipal ownership of ocean front property thrush purchase from the Huntington Beach company, a new pavilion to cost $75,000 and an Orange County Fair building to cost $25,000 are not for Huntington Beach at this time under a bond issue, for voters casting ballots in the election voted a night majority against the propositions. A total vote of 264 was cast, 144 against and 110 for the three propositions. While the beach city is figuratively speaking, swimming in "black gold," evidently all the residents have not been struck by the good luck that has come to many property owners there through the development of oil, and they voted the propositions down. Whether the defeat of the proposed advanced steps was the result of fear of increased taxes or was due to the apathy of those favoring the improvements is not known. The number casting ballots was about 30 per cent of the registered voting population. HOLDS ASSAILANT UNTIL POLICE COME LOS ANGELES June 3—Recognizing her assailant who attempted to steal a shipment will, in a measure, signal resumption of a traffic which obtained in the harbor 25 and 30 years ago, and which was interrupted with the building of the long wharf on the ocean front at Newport Beach. The lumber is for use in building residences on the South Santa Ana subdivision at Costa Mest. It is believed by many that the arrival of the barge loaded with lumber should be made the occasion for a general jollification. No effort has been made to organize a celebration but all those interested in watching the progress of the shipment through channel to the point of docking are urged to be at the beach by 3 o'clock. Plans are being considered for a big celebration later when the first boat of an eastern line enters the harbor. A reception committee for the crew of the schooner was being appointed by the Santa Ana C. of C., Newport Beach C. of C., Orange-co Harbor Commission and Orange-co Harbor Asan. A feature of the occasion tomorrow will be the return of Pilot Kelly to the Orange-co shipping service, as the pilot of the Albion often brot cargoes into the harbor 25 years ago. Members of the harbor commission today felt it was entirely fitting that to such a veteran should go the honor of being first to bring a commercial cargo into the harbor after so many years, not with a barge towed by a tug but in a schooner 100 feet long and 25 feet beam. It was estimated by harbor officials this afternoon that the saving in transportation cost by shipping in this manner, from the Hammond Lumber Co. to the county harbor, would be $100 under what it would cost by trucks.

There is a tent, chairs, campfire, frying pan, flap-jacks and meat, practically everything that heart could desire, and in addition a Columbia phonograph which is a great camp luxury and delight with which to pass the dull hours around the campfire, or rather to keep them from becoming dull. The whole display is a most realistic one.

TODAY'S Taken from Browell When thru with Your Plain Dealer, Mail to Fast Orange County Plain Dale LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Friday, June 3, 1921. PEACE WILL NEVER COME FOR THESE LOS ANGELES, June 3. — Two shell-shocked veterans today are recovering from collapses they suffered on Memorial day, but physicians say they can never bear to hear again—one the sound of musketry, and the other the notes of a bugle. Claus Berger, a patient at St. Catherine's hospital, Santa Monica, joined in the Memorial day parade. But when the guns roamed in salute over the graves of his comrades, he fell unconscious. The other six-soldier fell swooning when the bugler sounded taps above the graves. Physicians say they must avoid hearing these sounds in the future. Their cases are after-tragedies of grim war. DIGS OUT NEEDLE, AVOIDS OPERATION UPON HER APPENDIX Miss Ethel Crane, of Collbarn, Colo., who has been visiting her sister, Mrs. Frank Wetmore, was taken seriously sick last Friday morning with a severe pain in her right side. It had been causing her trouble for two months. A doctor was called and by all symptoms it was diagnosed an appendicitis. As Miss Crane was preparing to go to the hospital this morning for an operation, she noticed a black spot in her side in the regiol of the appendix.

Elmer McComp, the Lehanon, Mo. banker today? Illusive and mysterious have been the activities of this wealthy middle-west man, who was named by Eric Mullican in a confession to Mrs. A. C. Kaufman as the father of the child whom she is alleged to have murdered. McComp has been reported first in one place and then in another since he hurried left Lebanon, Mo., when the gossip concerning his alleged relationship with Miss Mullican, a maid in his household became too hot. Dispatches from Kansas City a week ago, Wednesday, stated that McComp was leaving Baxter Springs for Los Angeles to deny accusations. The unexpected receipt of two telegrams by Mrs. Kaufman, purported to have been sent by W. E. McComp, from Eastland, Tex., one dated May 30, the other dated May 31, asking her to meet a certain El Paso train brought the wealthy woman to a Los Angeles station to meet the banker Wednesday evening. McComb did not show up. All El Paso bound trains since Wed- WILL ASK RANCHERS HELP ORANGE SHOW The regular weekly luncheon of Anaheim C. of C. directors was held at noon today at headquarters on No. Los Angeles-st.

Traveling expenses will be included. At the realtor's picnic at Orange county park last Saturday, $250 pledged by five title companies for ticket and traveling expenses of a delegate from Southern California, was won by J. A. Timmons, representing the Santa Ana board: The board will elect the delegate. One of the features of the convention will be a big banquet in a leading hotel in Chicago the night of July 15. A keen contest is now on between Northern and Southern California realtors to see which end of the state will pay for the tickets for all delegates from the state. Dealers of the South challenged those of the North to a contest as to which end of the state would send the largest number of delegates the losing side to pay for the "eats" for all of the state delegates. San Francisco is after the 1922 convention and it is said that Southern California realtors will have to "dig" hard to win in the contest because of the fact that San Francisco will bid for the honor of entertaining realtors from all over the United States next year. THIEVES GET $70 CARPENTER'S TOOLS Dispatches from Kansas City a week ago, Wednesday, stated that McComb was leaving Baxter Springs for Los Angeles to deny accusations. The unexpected receipt of two telegrams by Mrs. Kaufman, purported to have been sent by W. E.

"Well if you're determined to break into jail," Cox told Wallace, "I won't stop you." The commitment was then issued. This Paper Believes in the People and Desires Nothing Better Than Their Continued Confidence. TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR BRING $9.85 EAST TODAY Prices Continue to Skyrocket With Hot Weather, and Light Importations Due to Tariff and Poor Foreign Crop Lemon prices continue to sky-rocket today on eastern markets. At Cincinnati lemons sold today for $9.45, at Boston for $9.85 and at Pittsburgh for $9.55. Following are quotations from today's market transactions as reported by telegraph to the Cal. Fruit Exchange this afternoon. Cincinnati: higher oranges, slower lemons; oranges $4.50 to $6; lemons $9.45. Boston: slower and higher oranges and lemons; oranges $4.34 to $6; lemons $9.85.

LEMON MEN ROSY OVER GOOD PRICES With 50 per cent of their fruit either sold at low prices or dumped in refuse piles, lemon growers of Orange Co., are anticipating a fair average for DISMISS JURY IN BOY MURDER TRIAL KNOX, Ind., June 3—Judge Pentecost dismissed the jury hearing in the case of Cecil Burkett, aged 11, charged with the murder of a playmate, today when the foreman of the jury said an agreement was impossible. The jury had been out 19 hours and argued all night over Cecil's fate. "Mr." Burkett, the boy's mother, surrounded by her brood of seven children, broke down and wept for the first time since the trial began. Cecil displayed no concern over the fact that the jury failed to acquit him. "Oh, it don't make any difference to me," he said, sticking his hands in his LEMON MEN ROSY OVER GOOD PRICES With 50 per cent of their fruit either sold at low prices or dumped in refuse piles, lemon growers of Orange County are anticipating a fair average for the present crop through a stiff advance in prices on the Eastern markets. This week's sales are ranging on the New York market from $6.55 to $7.49 a box. It is estimated that there are storied in the packing houses of the Orange County Fruit Exchange, south and east of Santa Ana river, at least 125 cars, and it is estimated that around 450 cars will be shipped from that district between this date and November. These figures cover only the south half of the county, with the production of the north half probably equivalent to that of the south half. Three influences are responsible for the splendid market conditions of the present, it is said. Warm weather has broken in the east at least 30 day earlier than last year, increasing the consumption. There is less foreign fruit available at this period than there was at this date a year ago, and there is less California fruit in storage in Eastern points than there was a year ago. Last year buying in April and May was stimulated by speculators securing big consignments and placing the fruit in storage in expectation of reaping handsome profits when the summer demand opened. A cool summer interfered with the plans of the speculators and they sustained heavy loss. They threw their holdings on the market at a time when summer shipments were going forward from producing sections, glutting the small market and forcing prices down. There was little or no hot weather in the east after June last summer and this fact was reflected in the light demand for lemons. With last year's experience before them, and the money situation tight speculators have not bought and stored fruit this season, leaving the market to the producers and the distributors. Expected imposition of a tariff on imported lemons has had its effect on importations. The market situation at this time is one that is very encouraging to lemon growers and has brought silver lining to clouds that have been black for some time past, with destruction of the industry threatened. ACCUSED STATES HIS DITTY MISCONSTRUED Declaring that Crocencion Padilla, a Mexican, called him "a son of an end man in a minstrel show" and cost dismissed the jury hearing in the case of Cecil Burkett, aged 11, charged with the murder of a playmate, today when the foreman of the jury said an agreement was impossible. The jury had been out 19 hours and argued all night over Cecil's fate. "Ma" Burkett, the boy's mother, surrounded by her brood of seven children, broke down and wept for the first time since the trial began. Cecil displayed no concern over the fact that the jury failed to acquit him. "Oh, it don't make any difference to me," he said, sticking his hands in his bulging pockets, "Only I hope I don't have to come back here again." The boy has been calm throut his trial for shooting 7 year old Bennie Sinvin. After the disagreement he tucked the little thumb-worn map—his version of the tragedy—back in his blouse. "I'm going swimmin' as soon as they let me out of here, Ma," said Cecil. "Ma" did not answer. "It's been awful cooped up here all the time. I'll be glad to get out." Cecil, although the jury disagreed, will get out too. He is under $10,000 bonds raised by the citizens of Ora, not far from here. None of the attorneys for the state were in the courtroom when the judge dismissed the jury. It is not known whether they will attempt to try the boy again. 11 GRADUATE FROM CENTRALIA SCHOOL Annual commencement exercises were held last evening at Centralia school with a large attendance the many pupils were absent because of an epidemic of measles, necessitating the elimination of the first part of the program.

Russell and Russess, recently from Minneapolis, will show the latest in tango fox trots and flying fox trots. ACCUSED STATES HIS DITTY MISCONSTRUED Declaring that Crocencion Padilla, a Mexican, called him "a son of an end man in a minstrel show" and threatened to "depart him from this world." Cruz Maslas took the stand in the justice court at Santa Ana yesterday as the complaining witness in an action charging the defendant with disturbing the peace. Padilla was arrested at Anaheim the night of May 24. He was alleged to have threatened several Mexicans and to have fired two shots. From testimony of several witnesses it was gathered that a row started over a deck of cards, Padilla, it was stated, claimed that he owned the deck. Others disputed his ownership. Maslas, the complaining witness, testified that Padilla flourished a gun and fired twice. His testimony was not corroborated and the defendant flatly denied that he had a revolver. Undersheriff E. E. French and Deputy Herman J. Zabel, who made the arrest, found a dagger in the mattress on which the defendant had been sleeping. They found no gun, however.
