XXV—NO. 127 U.S. DEMANDS JAPS QUIT SIBERIA Expose of Secret Agreement May Bring Ultimatum of America to Nipponese WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—As an outgrowth of the expose of a secret fact between Japan and France regarding Asia, the American government will demand that Japan completely evacuate Siberia. This action on the part of Uncle Sam will be taken when the question of the future status of Siberia comes before the disarmament conference, now nearing its final stages in this city. Japan is expected to exhaust every diplomatic endeavor to avoid facing this alternative, but the U. S. will go firmly on record, it is reported, and the Mikado must either quit Siberia or be placed in a position of open defiance. In assuming the stand that will be taken America will recite that Japan has no rights in Siberia, that she entered territory there as a part of a war agreement participated in by both America and Great Britain and that both of these nations have been involved in accidents yesterday.

Japan is expected to exhaust every diplomatic endeavor to avoid facing this alternative, but the U. S. will go firmly on record, it is reported, and the Mikado must either quit Siberia or be placed in a position of open defiance. In assuming the stand that will be taken America will recite that Japan has no rights in Siberia, that she entered territory there as a part of war agreement participated in by both America and Great Britain and that both of these nations have withdrawn. It will be pointed out that the refusal by Japan to likewise withdraw will be nothing short of an open violation of the spirit of this agreement. The intent of the U. S. is plainly to curb the unwarranted expansion of Japan in Asia and to go on record as the friend of the smaller Asiatic peoples against Japanese aggression. REPORTS OF JAP. FRANCE PACT WIDEN ARMS MEET BREACH WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. — The juny unofficial delegates to the disarmament conference from the Far Eastern Republic, whose capital at Chita, is still unrecognized by any of the powerful governments of the world, has created a widening breach between factions at the parley, with their repeated charges that France and Japan had engaged in a secret understanding. Despite the slight standing of these "delegates" their plea that the U. S. diplomatic service investigate the accusation which they fling at the French and Nipponese stirred certain factions into a suspicious mood. The Far Easterners claim France will do everything to keep the Japanese a power in Siberia. They declare the proofs of this "secret pact" are guarded in the archives of the Far Eastern Republic.

While the official bank call has not yet reached either the national or state banks here, a dispatch from Washington today announced the issuance of the farmal call, effective as of Dec. 31, as was expected. The call for the state banks is expected to be also for the calendar year. The dates of the two calls in 1920 was the same. The First National, which was the only local bank that had its figures prepared today, showed an increase during the past year in resources of $689,126.75 and in deposits of $631,320.85. Resources and deposits of Dec. 31, 1920 and 1921 were, respectively: 1920, $2,718,583.39 and $2,422,823.21; 1921, $3,407,710.14 and $3,054,144.06. At the very lowest estimate, therefore, local banks have resources of well over $5,000,000. L. A. BANDITS FLEE WITH $10,000 Three Shotgun Holdups Grab Huge Loot in Daylight Robbery LOS ANGELES, Jan. 3.—Staging the most daring robbery in the history of Los Angeles, three bandits armed with shotguns robbed two collectors for the Owl Drug company of $10,000 at Sixth street and Broadway today and escaped. Hundreds of persons saw the bandits enact their carefully planned robbery, but the bandits were in their car and speeding away before anyone realized just what was happening. Roy H. Sherwood and A. N. Tryk were the men who were held up and compelled to deliver the $10,000 cash which they had in their possession. The bandits used a large touring car and when they raced away from the scene they drove west in Sixth street, while Sherwood and Tryk and James Croft of 1239½ South Berendo avenue ran to the main office of the drug company, directly across the street from the scene of the robbery and gave the alarm. Sherwood and Tryk had visited seven downtown stores of the drug company and were completing their collection when they drove up to Sixth street and Broadway. Croft Setting Prices Found Unlawful WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—The U.S. supreme court today held that the system of resale price maintenance enforced by many manufacturers of widely advertised products is an unlawful interference with free commerce. The decision was handed down in the case of the Beechnut Packing Co., which had appealed to the supreme court of the U.S. to restrain the federal trade commission from enforcing an order served upon the company to abandon the system. ORANGE RESIDENT BUYS 20-A. RANCH The C. B. Berger Co., has sold 20 acres of the Cerro Villa Heights citrus subdivision to Geo. W. Smith of Orange it was announced today. Mr. Smith has made his home in Orange for years and has watched with interest the development of this community into the leading Valencian orange district that it is today, and when a friend, Wm. Lusk of Orange, who has been growing oranges for years, recently invested in a grove in Cerro Villa Heights for a son, Mr. Smith decided it was about time for him to get into the business, too. Mr. Smith says he has been watching the situation for some time and it is his candid opinion that now is the time to invest in citrus properly. HEAVY DAMAGE IN NAVEL DISTRICTS Damage conservatively estimated at 2 to 331-3 per cent has been suffered by growers of naval oranges in many of the districts of Southern California, it was officially stated here today. Anaheim's loss will be small because the district ships less than 200 carloads of the fruit. The Fullerton, Whittier, Orange and other districts in the county also will suffer very little. Pomona's loss will be extremely heavy, and officials say that its case is typical of other districts. Districts which are predominantly naval in the southern part of the state are: Redlands, Riverside, Pomaña, Highland, Ontario, San Dimas, Duarte, Monrovia, Pasadena, Alhambra, San Gabriel and Covina. Losses are due not only to the falling of fruit from the trees, but to rotting on the branches. In various districts the ground is covered with navals, which will be almost a total loss. Valencias suffered little, because they are not sufficiently mature to be easily shaken off the trees. Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Association said this morning that estimates of the California Fruit Growers Exchange of production throughout the State as of Jan. 1 will be announced shortly. It is too early, however, to give even approximate figures concerning losses from the estimate of Oct. 1. Both estimates are of oranges on the trees. If weather stays clear, shipments of navals from the Anaheim district will be resumed this week, perhaps Thursday. SANTA ANA COUNCIL BACKS DOWN TODAY Mayor John G. Mitchell, of Santa Ana, today issued a public statement to the effect that the Santa Ana Council would not attempt to add the offices of city assessor and tax collector as had been proposed. For several years Santa Ana has been cramped for funds. When the above relief measures were proposed, a number of citizens compelled to deliver the $10,000 cash which they had in their possession. The bandits used a large touring car and when they raced away from the scene they drove west in Sixth street, while Sherwood and Tryk and James Croft of 1239 South Berendo avenue ran to the main office of the drug company, directly across the street from the scene of the robbery and gave the alarm. Sherwood and Tryk had visited seven downtown stores of the drug company and were completing their collection when they drove up to Sixth street and Broadway. Croft parked his car on the north side of Sixth street less than 50 feet from Broadway, when the bandit car drove up behind the drug company's vehicle. As Tryk was about to step out of his car, carrying the suitcase, he gazed into the barrel of a large shotgun. At first, he said, he believed that some friend was enjoying a practical joke with him. When the end of the shotgun was thrust against his body and a gruff command given, he dropped the suitcase, he said, and put up his hands, while another bandit armed with a large automatic pistol and a shotgun commanded Sherwood to stay in the drug company's car. S.A.MAN KNOCKED DOWN AND STABBED Francisco Perelz, of 912 Stafford street, Santa Ana, was knocked senseless Sunday night and stabbed in the back by two unknown assailants, he told the police department this morning.

Lusk of Orange, who has been growing oranges for years, recently invested in a grove in Cerro Villa Heights for a son. Mr. Smith decided it was about time for him to get into the business, too. Mr. Smith says he has been watching the situation for some time and it is his candid opinion that now is the time to invest in citrus property. His newly acquired 20 acres is planted to Valencia oranges and is fully water stocked. There is a beautiful building site on the property, but the Smiths do not contemplate moving from Orange.

The statement today came after a final conference of council with special attorney Clyde Bishop. By strictest economy, the council said it would attempt to get thru the year with increase of $20,000 revenue due to higher property valuation.

Few New Year Resolves, Probably Broken Already So far as serving any useful purpose, there is little reason for publishing the following New Year's resolutions of prominent residents, since this is already Jan. 3 and it is hardly likely by this time that any have not been broken. They are merely set down here to enlighten those who may have wondered at certain guerre actions by the persons mentioned. Here is what the Plain Dealer's peering periscope perceived: Kurt Epstein: "I'll never drive out West Center-st again." George Hamler: "I'll never predict weather for Anaheim again." E. A. Beard: I'll never join another musical organization; I belong to one band and three orchestras now, and that's enough." Tom Losey: "I'll make sure that any young woman I escort has never worn a wedding ring." Ed Heying: "I'll never wager another red on the U. of C. football team defeating any eastern team with a long name like Washington & Jefferson." Carl Simmons: "I'll never again mention in the hearing of Doc Harvey that twins would me mighty nice." Frank Montgomery, of the Crown Stage ticket office, has resolved to pass his spare time in Pasadena the coming year, as he finds the companionship of the young folks in the Crown City is very pleasing to him. Harry D. Studebaker Riley resolves to fit his pet car with sails and to put some life-sized rubber boots under the seat when driving to San Diego in rainy weather. As additional precaution he may take along a pair of wings. "As the New Year rolls around I hereby resolve to wheel no more baby carriages thru the streets of Anahem," declares Wm. Goodrum. Realizing that five dollars is a large sum of money I (Homer Collins) firmly resolve to cut no more corners. The city's new truck and trailer for collection of trash and garbage was put into operation this morning. The outfit will be kept a collection of trash this week. By next week it is hoped a schedule can be announced for daily collection of trash in the business district and twice-a-week picking up of trash and garbage in the residence districts.

A. Merritt, if necessary. He said that out of town subscribers would be reached by the courier by letter if necessary.

Eighty men will start out tomorrow morning to make a whirlwind canvas. Anaheim has been divided into 40 districts and is expected the city will be cleaned up tomorrow. Incidentally, contrary to previous movements for protection against the Santa Ana river in this district, there has been no objection voiced to date. This was accounted for today by the tremendous growth in protection of the district. Five years ago Anaheim packing houses paid around $325,000 to citrus growers. Last season, the returns were eight or ten times that with prospects of continued rapid growth in the future. Business men who will be "touched" in several ways by the scheme of financing accepted the plan as most equitable today. Here is the scheme for raising $40,000 for the storm protection district: It is planned to raise $22,000 from ranchers at the rate of $5 per acre. The city is expected to contribute $18,000. The banks will contribute an aggregate of $1800. Merchants of the first class will each give $100; second class $50; third class $25. Real estate men of the first class will give $100; second class $50 and third class $25. Business property on enter between Olive and Helena, and on Los Angeles between Broadway and Cypress, will give $1 per front foot; vacant residence property 5c per front foot and improved residence property 71-2 cents per front foot. There are some special classes as filling stations which will give $25 each. District captains for obtaining subscriptions within the city limit of Anaheim are as follows: J. A. Clayes and C. M. Hollingshead, district No. 1; J. Paul Taggart and George Dunton, District No. 2; Wm. T. Wallop and W. J. Elliott, district No. 3; J. T. Lyon and W. E. Duckworth, district No. 4; G. R. Messias and H.
