The storm was the worst, he Breadless Sunday at Orange; No Power From the neighboring city of Orange comes the news that Sunday was a "breadless" day, as the interrupted electric power on Friday night interfered with the bakeries to such an extent that several batches of unbaked bread for Saturday were ruined, as well as doughnuts and other sweets, causing a great shortage in the supply of the staff of life. Bakerier were sold out early in the afternoon Saturday, so hot biscuits were on the menu of many a family for Sunday dinner.

Mr. White was ren Downey hospital but d Orange groves in the Pomona and La Verne vicinity suffered severely from the windstorms of Saturday, according to W. H. Schureman, manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association, who yesterday made a forty-five mile trip through this and other districts. The storm was the worst, he said, since 1890 or 1891. Schureman estimates the damage at 10 per cent of the entire crop, which would mean a loss of approximately 750 carloads. Clairmont, Upland, Glendora and part of Covina, Azusa and other sections also suffered considerably, he said. Fruit was blown off the trees or badly pounded, he declared. Some trees were broken. Less damage was done by far on Sunday than on the previous two days. Pompaна itself suffered sad havoc from the storm, said Schureman. In Ganesha Park, the principal park of the city, more than 100 trees were down. On the roads leading into Pomona whole rows of telephone poles lay, impeding traffic and entirely cutting off communication. La Verne was included in the area so affected. So was San Dimas. Workmen at some points got busy early and sawed trees in two to clear routes for traffic. Street lights in the business section of Pomona were all out on Saturday evening, and the residence section of Pomona were all out on Saturday evening, and the residence section was in partial darkness.

Roses Bid Summer Good-by"; "Song of the Soul," by James Carl Beal, with Mrs. Hugh Adams accompanist; "Auld Lang Syne," sung by all present, led by the quartet; and concluding prayer by the chaplain. Exalted Ruler Swope in introducing Mott, said the speaker was no stranger here, where he had spent much of his early life. Mott said he never felt like a stranger while attending a meeting of the order. And he had passed much of his boyhood in Anaheim, where while riding horseback he sometimes had the opportunity of viewing Anaheim's scenery upside down. The oration was largely a testimony of immortality. Elkdom requires an annual tribute of remembrance to its departed he said, in order to inspire kindness and generosity to the living. The golden bonds that bound dead brother Elks to their fellows were not severed, he said. Charity, justice, brotherly love and fidelity were immortal. The same blending of brotherly sympathies existed as when the dead lived. The spirits of the Elks were exalted by the thought of the immortality of their dead, a thought which was the sole hope of the mothers who had lost their boys. The Elks stood for the charity of deeds that do not humiliate the recipient nor are emblazoned on the monument of the donor. To succeed the needy, feed the hungry, minister to the dying, but above all to show daily charity, write a man's virtues where all might read and write his transgressions in the sand—this was the spirit of Elkdom. Elkdom made better men, better citizens and better Elks of its members. The order now has nearly 1.000,-000 members, the speaker declared. The dead of 1920 and preceding years still lived. Their forms still frequented the lodge-room. Mott paid a special tribute to the lead in Flanders fields, who fought, he said to vindicate the principle of right over might. They proved by their deeds the spirit of universal brotherhood. No greater proof of the soul's immortality could have been given than they gave upon the battlefields of Europe.

DEMAND INCREASES FOR LUMBER HERE The demand for lumber here dur-ing November was the heaviest of any month this year, according to A. D. Erickson, manager of the Gannhl Lumber Co. The managers of other local concerns said that the demand, particularly for lumber for residence construction, compared well with previous months. Erickson added that building materials in general were well-bought during the month. H. M. Adams, of the Adama-Bowers Lumber Co., said his firm had enjoyed the best business during November in several months past. Con-ment, roofing and other material also were in strong demand. The firm has some large shipments coming in during December but ordinarily the last month of the year is quieter than other months, largely because of the holidays. Adams, from information gathered from trade journals, salesmen who have come here and building activity, says that there is no sign of a weakening in prices. San Francisco, he declared, was now witnessing more building activity than in quite a while. The city was in the throes of a building trades strike for many months. F. N. Gibbs, of the Gibbs Lumber Co., said November had been an excellent month with his firm. Shipments of brick, cement and other materials also held up well, he added. Building activity in Orange and adjacent counties shows no sign of abatement. URGE VOLUNTEER POLICE A volunteer police squad to cooperate with the local police force is the latest plan proposed here as a solution of the problem of adequate police protection. At the regular meeting of the Rotary club today the question of the efficiency of the force was raised, and the sentiment of the meeting was that the police were efficient. The plan for a volunteer squad was suggested by Attorney Thomas McFadden, who said such a scheme would enable one officer to almost loop the loop. The explosion of the boilers was heard for miles, while the blaze of the burning coaches lit up the countryside. Exploding gas tanks under the cars added to the horror. Of 25 passengers trapped by the flames in the forward car of one trained, it is believed, only five escaped. The others were burned to death while many stood by powerless to help. Five dead have been removed from the wreck of the first car of the other train. William Smith, conductor of one train, is known to be dead. Both engineers and one fireman were killed. Acording to George J. Campbell of Bryn Athyn, who was one of the first to arrive on the scene, both trains were running behind time and "wide open." They met on a section of track which is unprotected by block signals, according to Campbell. "The trains met on one of the worst curves of the division," said Campbell: "The north-bound had been standing at Bryn Athyn station. I was talking to Clayton, the station master there. We heard the other train had left Southampton, the next stop to the north. "Suddenly Clayton ran out of door shouting, 'My God, she's gone.' They'll hit." "I looked and saw that the north-bound train had left, as far as I know, without waiting orders. Clayton grabbed a phone and summoned an ambulance. "Even as he did so we heard the sound of the crash and saw the flames shooting up." There were 25 persons in the forward car of the train from the north trapped. Gas tanks were exploding. We were helpless to aid them all. We succeeded in dragging five out, but the others were burned to death. There we were with only one ambulance and people dying for lack of aid. It was nearly two hours before adequate help arrived." DON'T FORGET MONTHLY DUES Tuesday is the last day to pay your city light and water bills.

TO PROBE THREAT A volunteer police squad to cooperate with the local police force is the latest plan proposed here as a solution of the problem of adequate police protection. At the regular meeting of the Rotary club today the question of the efficiency of the force was raised, and the sentiment of the meeting was that the police were efficient. The plan for a volunteer squad was suggested by Attorney Thomas McFadden, who said such a scheme would enable one or more officers always to be on duty, ready to respond to telephone calls for assistance. President Fred Houck will appoint a committee of three this afternoon to put the matter up to the city council. George Prince was chairman of the meeting. Malcolm Fraser, secretary of the chamber of commerce was the speaker of the day. Fraser said that hoboes were swarming into Orange and other counties on freight cars. John Ruether, proprietor of the Anaheim Beef and Provision Co., confirmed him in this.

Cuss today a report published here that he had received telephonic threats at his home last night. He admitted he might have some statement to make in a "day or so" but refused to affirm or deny that he had been threatened. While a score of detectives began a city-wide offensive to "run down" the clues which are reported to have come to the attention of Dist. Atty. Brady in connection with the charge of attempted "jury fixing" when the jurors were deliberating, and while rumors were current of impending arrests and now grand jury indictments, Roosee Arbuckle this afternoon appeared before U. S. Commissioner Thomas E. Hayden on an accusation of "boot-legging." Today there was added to the charge of causing Miss Rappe's death, the hint from the district attorney's office that somebody interested in "Fatty's" behalf had attempted to penetrate the secret and sacred recesses of the jury room and influence Mrs. Helen M. Hubbard to change her ballot from "guilty" to "not guilty." Mrs. Hubbard was the irreconcilable who stood at all times between Arbuckle and a verdict of acquittal. Austin's—308 E. Center.
