BRITISH FIGHT TO REDUCE TONNAGE WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—The armament session swung toward the BRITISH FIGHT TO REDUCE TONNAGE WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—The armament session swung toward the Christmas recess today with the much-feared submarine still the bone of contention among the various delegations. Having already lost their fight for the total abolition of the submarine as recognized agency of warfare, the British delegates are now expected to turn their efforts toward obtaining a substantial reduction of the tonnage allotments in undersea craft proposed by Secretary of State Hughes in his original reduction program. The British consider 90,000 tons of submarine for themselves and the United States and 54,000 tons for the Japanese far too high. At least half this figure, or 45,000 tons, with corresponding reductions for Japan, France and Italy, is sufficient, the British experts believe.

DON’T LEAVE CULL ORANGES ON GROUND Warning against leaving fallen oranges on the ground was issued today by W. H. Schureman, manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Co. Schureman said that the fruit which fell during the windstorm, constituted a menace now that the ground was soaked. A fungus disease, dry rot, which may spread to fruit on the lower branches of the trees, is threatened. Schureman today received a bulletin from the California Fruit Growers’ exchange to the same effect. The bulletin quotes the Citrus Experiment station as saying that the dry rot causes gum diseases, also. Remedies are given. Fallen fruit should be made into opera company raged. It was stated authoritatively that Miss Garden will be asked to continue as director of the company next year if the board can make both ends meet.

Considerable time was spent in discussion of a new city well, for which $10,000 was provided in the last bond election. City Manager Steward and Councilman Mann suggested that this proposed fourth well be equipped with gasoline motor as an emergency supplement in event electric power was cut off; also a same economy in reducing the peak load of City Manager Steward was instructed to order on extensive sidewalks on Bush-st. Considerable time was spent in discussion of a new city well, for which $10,000 was provided in the last bond election. City Manager Steward and Councilman Mann suggested that this proposed fourth well be equipped with gasoline motor as an emergency supplement in event electric power was cut off; also a sane economy in reducing the peakload of electrical energy consumed upon which the price is based. The gasoline motor would reduce this load about 100 h. p. Because its present water reservoir capacity contains only about one and one-half hour's supply for the city, there is now no way of curtailing the peakload of electrical energy. Councilman Gibbs suggested that a reservoir be constructed. A three million gallon surface reservoir can be constructed for $36,000 to $40,000, according to an estimate made for him. A gas engine would cost over $4,000 and with pump and well there would be an expenditure of $12,000, council estimated. It was broot out that emergencies might be met by coupling with Fullerton water works. Fullerton council has proposed this. Fullerton has a 1,000 gallon reservoir and is building another to hold 5,000,000 gallons. Anaheim uses 1,000,000 gallons per day in very hot weather. Matter of location for the well also figured in the discussion. City Engineer Steward urged the present water plant site on So. Los Angeles. He objects to location in the new Cypress-st is no longer available, city park as has been proposed and as council is just now completing sale of the remaining lots in the former water plant site. Council decided to lay the matter on the table for early consideration as it is considered the well would be necessary before next summer, with installation of new water meters at the rate of 290 in the last 12 months and the opening up of many new subdivisions.

The bulletin quotes the Citrus Experiment station as saying that the dry rot causes gum diseases, also. Remedies are given. Fallen fruit should be gathered and burned or placed where it will dry in the sun.

Ignoring Christman’s “confession” to the murder of a woman in New York, supposed to have been a Brea or Capistrano girl, will come as no surprise here, where Irvin, Mrs. Seale, his former landlady and others have discounted the story from the first, as that of a man demented. Christian was arrested in company with W. M. Carlson, aged 20, on a complaint accusing him of “joyriding.” After he was bound over to the superior court for trial, he made the confession referred to. A hasty investigation was instituted and the New York police were given full details of the alleged murder.

Debs, noted Socialist leader, and 196 other so-called political prisoners, are about over. This was the well-nigh unanimous belief in official circles today as President Harding, after a long conference with Attorney General Daugherty last night prepared to make public the government's policy toward these war offenders and to announce the list of Christmas pardons. It was the general opinion of those closest to the administration that Debs, now serving a 10-year sentence at the Atlanta prison for obstructing the draft, will walk from the penitentiary a free man within 24 hours after the White House announcement. The President and the attorney general worked far into the night over the pardon cases. There has been enormous pressure brought to bear on President Harding during the past six months for the release of Debs and the granting of a general amnesty to all political prisoners.

A valiant effort was made by U. S. marines to subdue the fire while they were guarding the car, which was about to start for Long Beach. Nearly all of the sacka of mail were destroyed or badly damaged and the car was virtually consumed by the fire. U. S. postoffice inspectors joined hands with Police Detectives James Bean and Chester G. Smith and Capt. E. H. Enos of the bureau of fire prevention of the fire department investigating the fire.

Offer to Build a House For Widow, 5 Orphans J. R. Anderson, financial secretary of Anaheim local of carpenters, informed The Plain Dealer this afternoon that union carpenters would contribute their services for the construction of a California house for the unfortunate Olaga widow and five children now residing in a shack on the rear of a lot at 413 W. Santa Ana-st. The owner of the lot will permit its use in this way without charge. The Gibbs Lumber Co. announced they would furnish the lumber at cost, making the expense of a building 14x18 about $125. The Plain Dealer will contribute $10 toward such a building. Go and have a look at the misery of these poor unfortunates, then mail your check to The Plain Dealer. Do it at once. Obey that impulse. The Olaga family, consisting of the mother and five children, ranging in age from 14 years to a baby of five months, living in the rear of 413 West Santa Ana-st., are happier today through the generosity of Anaheim citizens who last evening took in some clothing and enough food for today. But temporary help, although relieving their urgent needs, is not enough. The shack in which they live is void of furnishings of any kind, and two beds, three or four chairs, a table, one mattress, a pillow or two for the mother's use, and more coverings are badly needed. All the children need clothing, as well as the mother, whose thin cotton dress furnishes little warmth. There is no man in the family, so contributions of men's clothing are useless, but shoes for the boys, who are 14, 10, 7 and 4 years of age, and warm coats will comfort them greatly. Gifts of money will not go so far as the amount of groceries the sum will buy, and it is suggested that substantial food instead, be given. The Plain Dealer will be glad to give any further information and donations may be taken to the house in the rear of 413 West Santa Ana-st. Anaheim Elks got busy today. A. P. Bonnat, Frank Tausch, Clem Staples and others of the order's Christmas committee interesting themselves in the case. Mrs. L. M. Thompson, corner Plaza-ave and Olive-rd., phoned The Plain Dealer this afternoon that she had a bed and bedstead for the family but no way to haul it. WEATHER HOLDS UP ORANGE SHIPMENTS The storm held up shipments of naval oranges from Anaheim and most of the other principal shipping points, G. W. Sandilands, manager of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association, said this morning. The last car of fruit shipped from here were two cars of this organization and one from the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association, all on Wednesday evening. The latter had been shipping a car a day. Naval oranges have piled up in many packing houses, but this has been a benefit rather than a detriment, because temporarily the market has been congested with Florida fruit. The storm has done much in washing off the trees and halting or preventing black snout, said Sandilands. This disease last year caused much damage. The 8-1 test of navals has not yet been made, and cannot be made now for a week or two, said Sandilands, because of recent irrigation of groves. Shipments on a scale will not be started until the test is satisfactorily completed.

KIDS PACK THEATER AT ANNUAL PARTY The Fairyland theatre was filled to the inner doors of the lobby this afternoon with a crowd of kiddies on hand to see the free show provided by Anaheim Elks. Each of the kiddies received a box of crack-jack. The program of the afternoon was slightly changed from that planned and a six-reel Federated "Miracles of the Jungles" and a "Hall Room Boys" comedy were given instead of three two-reel comedies. More than 700 boys and girls saw the corresponding show at the Rialto theatre, Fullerton, which put on a Charlie Chaplin comedy "The Tramp" a Lee children's comedy, "The Hicksville Terrors" and a baby comedy of the Universal studio.
