EXPLOSION IN SIGNAL HILL GAS WELL Terrific Blast In Royal Dutch Shell Hole, Mesa No. 1 Terrific explosions in the Royal Dutch Shell Co.'s burning oil well, Mesa No. 1, on the west summit of Signal Hill, Long Beach, this morning, caused the fire to burn with increased fury, according to employees of the company, who made hurried preparations to install steam-generating apparatus to fight the fire. The fire started early this morning at the big well. Many oil wells in the immediate vicinity of the well were endangered by the flames, which shot several hundred feet into the air. The nearest well was about 200 feet from the blazing well and it was said that wind might swing the pillar of fire to one of the nearby derricks. Subsiding temporarily at 4:35 a.m. today, the fire burned worse than ever after a series of explosions which caused the ground in the vi Anaheim Camp Ground One of Best in State The Anaheim auto camping ground was inspected by a representative of the state board of health yesterday and was pronounced one of the best-kept in the state. Congratulations were expressed to William Eule, care-taker. The representative of the state board of health stated that he found only two other camping grounds in the state that ranked with Anaheim in sanitation, these being at Santa Maria and Santa Barbara.

The nearest well was about 200 feet from the blazing well and it was said that wind might swing the pillar of fire to one of the nearby derricks. Subsiding temporarily at 4:35 a.m. today, the fire burned worse than ever after a series of explosions which caused the ground in the vicinity to tremble. Officials of the oil company stated that it would be necessary to take steps to Long Beach from Los Angeles to combat the flames. Steam, it was said, would be forced down the well. That there is 8000 pounds pressure was a statement made today by company officials. The discharge of the well was given as 20,000,000 cubic feet of gas daily. It was said by company investigators that the fire may have resulted from the friction of sand in the casing. The fire came in as a gusher early this morning and immediately caught fire. The well was down 2700 feet. It was predicted that the well might burn for several days and possibly weeks.

WALNUTS UNHARMED BY WARM WEATHER Walnuts have not been damaged by the warm weather of the past two or three days and there is no probability of the crop being damaged by hot weather at this time, according to the observation today of a walnut grower. It was reported in some sections of the county that nuts were hurt by the heat of yesterday, but the report is declared to have no foundation. In the first place the weather has not been warm enough to do damage even were the nuts just commencing to form, and with the nuts now at maturity no damage could possibly be done the crop, although the trees might be hurt a little in the opinion of this grower.

YOUNG WOMAN DIES AT SANTA MONICA Miss May Adkins, of Santa Monica, sister of Mrs. Roy Adkins, 251 So. Lemon-st, Anaheim, passed away at her home last night, aged 19 years, after an illness of several months. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon. Miss Adkins' death was the finale of a trip planned to be a most happy one, but which resulted in the illness and death of the young lady. On May 10, Mr. and Mrs. Adkins, their small son, and the Misses May and Helen Dearborn, of Santa Monica, sisters of Mrs. Adkins, started to New York City by automobile. They stopped several places enroute, St. Louis, Denver, Indiana points and HUGO W CHARGE Must Remain In Jail Without An Might Have Been Possible Of Manslauv Hugo Wetzel, wealthy, ret faces a charge of murder, ins the fatal shooting of Fred Eboy, in his wafermelon patch. The murder complaint, sworn to by Undersheriff E. E. French who spent yesterday investigating the affair, was issued from the district attorney's office at 11 a.m. today. Thirty minutes later, Wetzel was brot from his cell in the county jail and arraigned in the Santa Ana justice court. Attorney Clyde Bishop, who appeared as counsel for Wetzel, severely criticized the district attorney's office for making the complaint for murder instead of manslaughter. The law does not permit release from jail on bail pending trial when murder is charged. Had the lesser offense of manslaughter been charged, the defendant might have hoped for release under bond. Bishop declared it was "a shame a man of Wetzel's age had to be locked up in jail." LOCAL FOLKS Jack Vincent, who was driving, was slightly scrached up. The other occupants were practically uninjured. Vincent is being held on a bond of $1000 on the charge of driving while intoxicated. Fines of $25 each were assessed against R. F. Savrey, George Oliver and John Decuier, the other occupants of the car, on the charge of being drunk. One was released on payment of the fine, and went to Los Angeles to raise the necessary money for the others. Savrey is 34, Vincent 23, Oliver 46 and Decuier 27. When passing thru the jattice work below the sign board, a 2x4 scraped off the windshield, steering wheel and top. The car narrowly missed a telephone pole and in going thru the lighter timber of the sign board went between two heavy posts. Police Officer O. B. Baxter who investigated the accident this morning, declared it was a wonder that the car did not upset, when it struck the hump of earth. In its rapid progress, the car-tore off-half of a So.Cal. Auto club sign. Earlier in the week, a Franklin sedan leaped the ditch and turned upside down without injuring the occupants seriously or damaging itself more than $200. Baxter gave it as his opinion today that a red-light should be stationed on the curve to warn speeding autolists. The curve is dished so that an autoist knowing the road can make the turn at 35 miles per hour, if there is no confusing traffic. To those who do not know the road, speed means an accident certain. There is scarcely a week goes by without an accident on this curve. Each accident, of course, would more than pay the expense of an electric warning light for a year. DEEP SEA CANAL CONNECTS BIG SEAS WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—A deep-sea canal, connecting the Atlantic ocean with the Mediterranean sea, is the latest solution offered by French naval experts of the problem of a new naval policy for France, according to advice just received here from Paris. This waterway would link Bordeaux with the Mediterranean and would be navigable for the largest battleship. An Keil canal gave the Kaiser control of the Baltic, notwithstanding the best efforts of the British fleet. French naval experts believe this "Canal des Deux-Mers," or canal of two seas, would give France the mastery of the Mediterranean, unifying the boasted impregnability of the defenses of Gibraltar. Heretofore France has maintained an ample fleet in the Mediterranean depending upon Great Britain to protect her coasts on the Atlantic and the channel. METHODISTS RAISE BIG BENEVOLENCES Miss Adkins' death was the finale of a trip planned to be a most happy one, but which resulted in the illness and death of the young lady. On May 10, Mr. and Mrs. Adkins, their small son, and the Misses May and Helen Dearborn, of Santa Monica, sisters of Mrs. Adkins, started to New York City by automobile. They stopped several places enroute, St. Louis, Denver, Indiana points and others. Before reaching their destination Miss Dearborn complained of illness, and although she received medical assistance after getting to New York, she continued ill and was forced to return home, her sister accompanying her. On July 5 she became bedfast and death came last evening. Mrs. Adkins was with her sister, having returned from their trip about three weeks ago and had been at her side ever since. AGED BLACKSMITH DIES FROM CRASH Jack Patton, 72, blacksmith, Moldesta, died at 2:30 a.m. today in Santa Ana Community hospital from injuries sustained Tuesday night when he was struck by an auto driven by Fred Smith - 1106 E. 3rd-st., Santa Ana. Patton's identity was unknown until yesterday when G. W. Hancock, So.Santa Ana, son in law, made inquiry at the hospital after reading a newspaper item. Hancock says Patton, his father in law, must have been coming to visit him. It is not likely charges will be brot against Smith as three witnesses stated Patton, apparently confused by another car, stopped directly in front of the car. CENTENARIAN TELLS SECRET OF LIVING LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2—"Don't overwork, don't worry and live a normal life if you would join the ranks of the contentarians," is the advice of Mrs. Mary Ann Newlin Coffin of Whittier, who today was 100 years old. The event is to be celebrated with a dinner at the Whittier Woman's clubhouse at 6 p.m., to which 300 guests have been bidden. Natural living is Mrs. Coffin's motto and tranquility has been the keynote of her life. She never cared for politics or took an active interest in women's clubs; altho she was one of the first to vote, after the enfranchisement of women, and has cast her ballot at every presidential election since except the last one. Spinning, knitting and the duties of a housewife have been her occupations during her life. MANY WORRIED OVER Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Wents and Wents and daughter, Gertrude, returned lives and friends in Iowa where they hauled over with the story of which took place between Ogden and The two Mrs. Wents were on the cars which were held up, but Mr.Wents, who is vice-president of the Anaheim National bank, was in another coach, entrance to which was locked by the conductor, and the robbers were unable to enter it. Had Mr.Wents accompanied his wife and sister-in-law to the observation car, he would have been relieved of all of his ready change, but, as good fortune would have it, the ladies were not even relieved of their rings. One of the Mrs. Wents hid her diamond in her stocking, and pleaded with the robbers for her wedding ring which remained on her finger. He replied, "That's all right lady, I don't want it." The robbers two in number were said to be only boys, and to have flagged the train just out of Ogden by throwing the block signal, creeping car into the midst of the frightened passengers. They were extremely gallant to the ladies, it was stated, with the exception of one lady who tried to flirt with them saying, "Oh you're just kidding, aren't you?" They relieved her of all of her money. They remained on the train about 40 minutes, getting off in the yards at Salt Lake. They forced the men to turn their pockets inside out, but took nothing from the conductor, and gave one man's pass back to him with a half AHLHORN DENI J. F.

Though the growers are beginning to harvest early varieties, the Exchange reports that many of the farmers are still holding back the "knocking" of this year's almonds in the hope of settlement of their fight for a five and 15 cent protective tariff on unshelled and shelled almonds in the Fordney bill now before congress. With an unsold carryover of 3000 tons of nuts from the crops of the last two years and no prospect of a settlement of the tariff fight in time to protect for the harvest now under way the outlook is considered dark for many farmers engaged in almond culture. Exchange officials, however, are advising their 4000 members, cultivating 100,000 acres of almond orchards, to gather the entire crop and deliver the nuts to warehouses as soon as possible. NO SPECIAL SESSION CALLED TILL SPRING That legislators have no word yet as to when the special session of the legislature will be held was stated today by State Senator Walter Eden. "When the legislature adjourned in May," said Eden, "it was understood that the governor would call the session just as soon as congress passed on the basis for representation in congress. "Congress has taken no action on that matter. Until it does, we cannot redistrict the congressional districts of the state. "Personally, I am of the opinion that the special session will not be held until the middle of winter or early next spring." The special session will probably be short. It may last only a week, as it is probable that it will transact no other business than that concern. Anaheim, Fastest Growing City in Orange-co!

Shipment of these will be made by 11 special trains. This takes care of one-third of the 1920 hold-over crop, while the five-cent package campaign is expected to make a considerable hole in the balance. —Witman, Eyesight Specialist.
