Fruit Growers Exchange in the shipment of citrus fruit by water. At this week's meeting of the fruit exchange directors, it developed that 61 per cent of the fruit that is scheduled for shipment to the eastern seaboard by water this year would find it much more advantageous to ship. 1500 Reach Safety In Burning School SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20.—Fifteen hundred night school students marched from the Mission high school last night to safety without the injury of anyone when fire broke out in the building. The school was destroyed at a loss of $450,000 to the building and $100,000 to equipment. TRUTH WON'T HURT, FALSE NEWS WILL If citrus fruit from the Anaheim or other districts gets nipped by the cold weather en route to eastern markets, reports are likely to come out that California weather is responsible, said Manager G.

Fruit Growers Exchange in the shipment of citrus fruit by water. At this week's meeting of the fruit exchange directors, it developed that 61 per cent of the fruit that is scheduled for shipment to the eastern seaboard by water this year would find it much more advantageous to ship thru Newport rather than San Pedro. This year the Exchange has consisted with shipping for the move-out of 1,350,000 boxes of fruit to western ports," says Eygabroad. "This is in addition to citrus fruit shipments abroad, which are increasing rapidly." "Of this total, 61 per cent divided as follows would find it much more convenient and economical for shipment thru Newport. "No. Orange-co exchange will ship 227,200 boxes, Orange-co Exchange 400,000 boxes, one Riverside association 52,400 boxes, another Riverside association 97,600, San Bernardino 48,000. "When it comes time for the Calif. Fruit Exchange to build docks and wharfage there is no doubt that at least a large part of them will be built at Newport if sufficient depth of water is assured," concluded Eygagroad. BANKERS HEAR ALL ABOUT INCOME TAX An address on the changes in the income tax laws affecting 1921 incomes was given last night in Fullerton by E. B. Burns, of Santa Ana, deputy collector of U.S. internal revenue in the sixth revenue district, at the bi-monthly meeting of the Bankers' Ass'n of Northern Orange County. Burns went into detail regarding the legal changes affecting incomes under and over 55,000 partnerships, etc. The meeting was attended-by about thirty bank officials, and all of the thirteen banks in the association were represented, it is said for the first time. Those who attended from Anabeim were H. H. Benjamin and W. J. Siemann of the First National bank, Adolph Thomas and E. E. Smith of the Golden State National, R. L. Phegley of the Anabeim National, and H. A. Hawley and A Nagel of the Southern County Bank. Siemann acted as secretary in the absence of Secretary E. Zitman. Burns, after his address, answered about 100 questions regarding problems likely to arise in the future. Among these was one concerning what would happen if a partner agreed to sell out his interest, but no operation took place within the six months period. He would have to file a return only as an individual. TRUTH WON'T HURT, FALSE NEWS WILL If citrus fruit from the Anabeim or other districts gets nipped by the cold weather en route to eastern markets, reports are likely to come out that California weather is responsible, said Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anabeim Orange and Lemon Assn. Such reports have been circulated before, to the detriment of the state. The truth won't hurt the state, but such reports will. Anything anybody can do by letter or otherwise to counteract the false of exaggerated reports of this sort should be done, in Sandilands' opinion. MANY PERILED AS FAST TRAIN DERAILS CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-The lives of 125 passengers were endangered today when the Columbian, Pacific coast flyer on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad was derailed three miles west of Milwaukee. The flyer was due here at 7 a.m. Seven coaches left the track, according to reports received here. No injuries were reported. The passengers, considerably shaken up, were bolt into Chicago on a special train. Traffic on the main line was held up for several hours. The accident is believed to have been due to a defective rail. 10 PER CENT DROP IN BRUNSWICK RECORDS The Schmidt Muske Co., today received notice that the retail price of all Brunswick records had been reduced on an average of ten per cent Brunswick Black Label ten-inch records which have been selling at $5 cents will be reduced to 75 cents and twelve-inch records reduced from $1.35 to $1.25. "Business is fine with us," says F. W. Schmidt. "We have sold six Brunswick machines this week. Five of them were put out by our new sales manager, Mr. Harry Felling. COOL WEATHER IS DESIRABLE TODAY Maintenance of the comparatively cool weather today is a big factor in the protection of the orange crops, Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anabeim Orange and Lemon Assn.'s said. The low temperature will prevent the fruit from warming up too rapidly after the cold of Thursday and last night. A warm day today might have been rather disastrous he said. MONSTER CO LODGE ANN In the window bakery is a monster cally for the celebrant anniversary of the I. O. O.

Phegley of the Anaheim National, and H. A. Hawley and A. Nagel of the Southern County Bank. Siemann acted as secretary in the absence of Secretary E. Zitman. Burns, after his address, answered about 100 questions regarding problems likely to arise in the future. Among these was one concerning what would happen if a partner agreed to sell out his interest, but no operation took place within the six months period. He would have to file a return only as an individual, not as a partner. Oil workers riding in their own machines or others' machines are not affected one way or the other whether they save transportation fares by so doing or not. The meeting proper was held in the rooms of the First National bank after a roast at McFarland's Cafe. The officers of the First National and the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Fullerton were the hosts, and each member bank was entitled to have three guests present. Witnesses For State Have Memory Lapse SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20—The case of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle must proceed. That was the statement of District Attorney Matthew Brady today. During the past 24 hours rumors that the case would be dropped had been freely circulated in San Francisco, owing to the failure of Zey Prevost and Alice Lake, show girls heralded as the state's star witnesses, to "remember" much of what they testified to before the grand jury at the time of the first trial. Judge Louderback, presiding over the trial, was to decide today whether not the defense would be permitted to attempt impeachment of the testimony of Josephine Keza, chambermaid, which she gave just before court adjourned yesterday. Arbuckle's attorneys sought impeachment on the grounds that her testimony given in a sworn statement previous to Arbuckle's first trial differed from that given in court. Attorneys admitted that the state's case was going through a serious crisis. Cranberries, 25¢ per lb. Edmiston's grocery. THE THERMOMETER Minimum 31 at 7 n.m.

DROP IN FOOD PRICE BUT ONE PER CENT WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—The retail cost of food is coming down, but the decrease is so small as to be almost negligible, amounting to only 1 per cent in December as compared with November, 1921, the department of labor announced. During the period from Nov. 15 to Dec. 15, 30 of the 40 articles on which monthly prices are secured by the department showed decreases ranging from 5 per cent on pork chops to four-tenths of 1 per cent on rib roast. LOS ALAMITOS-ROAD IS OPENED AGAIN The Los Alamitos road is now open the local office of the Auto Club of So. Calif., said this morning.

These companies will contribute at least 12 1/2 per cent of the total. The Union Pacific sent word that the voucher for its subscription would be forwarded within a few days. Tomorrow at two o'clock a meeting of the general committee, of which Charles A. Egabroad is chairman, and the district captains will be held at the C. of C. and reports received of subscriptions up to noon Saturday. Not a single corporation as yet has declined to do its share, but the usual delays are being experienced, incident to passage of the request through the regular channels, endorsement and transmission. The committee prepared today to canvas the last two districts not yet entered, Districts No. 5 and 6, lying in the vicinity of the Olive road and Sunkist avenue, have obtained subscriptions aggregating $2,431 and collected $2,056 of this. They have nearly finished their work. George Weatherley and Elmer Bruns are in charge of the districts. One of the city districts will turn in more than $2,000. District No. 13 passed the $1,000 mark yesterday. Notice of the meeting tomorrow when reports will be received was sent out today to all district captains in and outside the city limits. Subscriptions already taken assure the committee of an excellent showing, but additional efforts will be put forth today and tomorrow to bring the total amount up to the best figures possible. MONSTER CAKE FOR LODGE ANNIVERSARY In the window of the Dake-Rite bakery is a monster cake made especially for the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the I. O. O. F., which will be celebrated next Tuesday, Jan. 24. The cake is attractively decorated with appropriate lettering and the three links in gold icing upon the top. The local lodge will observe the anniversary with elaborate ceremonies in which the cake will play its part. L. A. FIREMAN PUTS UP $10 HERE TODAY F. A. Keiddel, a fireman of Los Angeles, was arrested last night by the local police for raising a disturbance at the Standard Oil Co. station at the corner of No. Los Angeles st and Spadra-rd, when he was asked to move his car and park it straight. Harry Fox, held under bond of $1000 in the county jail at Santa Ana, on a warrant for grand larceny sworn out by Paul V. Alien of the local office of the Auto Club of So. Calif., is not likely to get much aid from the club in obtaining probation or freedom on ball, it was said this morning. Fox, without meaning to do so, confessed to having taken parts of 19 Chevrolet machines and put them on his own Chevrolet or otherwise disposed of them. He is the same man who presented several checks, including one which finally resulted in his detection at the First National bank. The club seeks to protect the various individuals affected carrying insurance with it. Fox, after his confession said, he didn't know how many machines he had stripped or stolen the parts of, but he appears to have used this means steadily, since his arrival here from Portland, Ore., to take out the income from which he supplied his sweetheart, daughter of Mrs. Dora Dominick, with extravagant gifts. Fox's fater still is in Oregon, it is understood. Fox also worked in the Sitton garage at Fullerton, besides doing various jobs. His confession, while anything but that of a hardened criminal, was made unwittingly to officers here. The hearing on his application for probation will be heard before Superior Judge J. B. Cox in Santa Ana on Jan. 31. Judge Cox set the date, following the arraignment yesterday. Mrs. Dominick, whose name it was Fox forged to the checks, will not prosecute, and the bank, particularly, since the amounts Fox received on the checks have been made good, will not prosecute. This has been the bank's stand from the first, and the bank also has endeavored to hush up the matter in view of Fox's youth. He is about 21 years old. The checks aggregated over $400, consisting of two checks over $100 each, two under $100 each and the final one of $83. Miss Dominick, Mrs. Dominick, and, in fact the entire family, seem to be standing by Fox, who made as complete a confession of the forgeries as of the thefts of auto parts. Practically all of the stripped Chevrolet cars have been recovered. The arrest was made yesterday by Deputy Sheriff W. E. Dage, the bank's officer, and the confessions were made to him and Chief N. F. Steadman. Roy Ballard, deputy sheriff, was here today investigating the facts of Fox's operations for Sheriff C. E. Jackson. PROSECUTION MAY SUICIDE'S HUSBAND MAY FACE COURT PARIS, Jan. 20—Thomas P. Ryan whose wife, Audrey Creighton Ryan a former Los Angeles girl, died here yesterday of poisoning, may face the local court charged with her death, it was reported here today. Charles G. Loeb will act as attorney for Ryan, it is understood. He will contend that as suicide is not a crime under the French law, his client must be released. CHEAP SPORT, WON'T MENTION ALIMONY Margaret Plaskett of Huntington Beach was granted a divorce from Hallie Plaskett oilman, in Superior Judge Williams' court. In granting the decree, Judge Williams said: "I won't bother to mention all-money as I believe you are a cheap sport who has been taking money from your wife to spend on other women." Mrs. Plaskett filed suit for divorce once before, then made up with Plaskett, disappearing for several days with him. Her mother filed charges of kidnapping against him. They were located at Seal Beach. BANNON SENTENGED TO LIFE TODAY LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20—Facing "life" imprisonment in the penitentiary for the slaying of James Brigham in an alleged love quarrel in which he charged his victim with an attack on his wife, Edward Bannon was to appear before Superior Judge Shenk today for sentence.

Goodrum, proprietor tomorrow will conduct a grand ball. The floor is being placed in excellent condition for the function and Harry Fellinge's orchestra will furnish the music. The public is generally invited to attend and enjoy the evening. CHINA IN LAST DITCH FIGHT TODAY L. A. FIREMAN PUTS UP $10 HERE TODAY F. A. Keiddel, a fireman of Los Angeles, was arrested last night by the local police for raising a disturbance at the Standard Oil Co. station at the corner of No. Los Angeles at and Spadra-rd, when he was asked to move his car and park it straight in order that others coming into the grounds would not be so likely to bump into him. He put up $10 in justice court today. SPAIN OFFERS PRIZES FOR LYRICS MADRID, Jan. 20.—The society of Spanish authors has decided to attempt to revive lyric art in Spain, which has shown a tendency in recent years toward rapid decline. The society will open a competition for prizes amounting to $380 each for two one-act fares, four one-act musical comedies and for three comic operas, each to consist of two or more acts. $500 BAIL FIXED IN TRAFFIC CASE A. G. Deck, of Huntington Beach, was arraigned today before Justice Cox at Santa Ana on a charge of driving while intoxicated. He was arrested last night between Santa Ana and Huntington Beach by Deputy Sheriff Ballard and Motorcycle Officer Stewart. Judge Cox fixed bail at $500 and set 10 a.m., Feb. 9, for the preliminary hearing. CRIME OF BURGLARY ALLEGED IN CHARGE Information formally charging the crime of burglary against Riechard De Lavol, young Mexican arrested by the police following a series of burglaries committed during the Christmas holidays, was filed in department one of the superior court by Deputy District Attorney D. G. Wettlin. COLORADO MAN MAY SUCCEED WILL HAYS WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Dr. Hubert Work, Colorado, now first assistant postmaster general, will succeed Will H. Hays as postmaster general, it was learned today from a high administration source. PROSECUTION MAY SEEK JOINT TRIAL LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20.—A strenuous effort may be made by District Attorney Woolwine to combine the trial of Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, co-defendant of Arthur C. Burch, charged with the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, and Burch's retrial instead of having the cases tried separately, it was learned today. Woolwine was said to be giving serious consideration to a proposal to ask the court to have Burch re-tried with Mrs. Obenchain when she goes on trial on the murder charge Feb. 6. Burch's second trial has been set for March 27. Whether Superior Judge Reeve, to whom the application for a double trial would be made, could legally order that Mrs. Obenchain and Burch be tried together after once having allowed them separate trials seemed doubtful. To have Mrs. Obenchain and Burch tried at the same time would be a distinct advantage to the prosecution, it was claimed, as it would permit the admission of much of the conspiracy testimony barred by Burch's trial. LOCAL AUTO CLUB ORDERS MORE BLANKS Five more application books, containing 500 blanks, were asked for today by the local office of the Auto Club of So. Calif. Applicants who applied for license plates on Jan. 3-10, are urged to bring receipts and get their plates. GARDEN GROVE MAN PAYS $25 FINE HERE T. L.

Defeated thus far in every attempt they have made in this direction, despite the support of the United States the Chinese now are pinning their hopes on the last item on the Chinese program, "status of existing commitments."

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR T SINKS LAST SACRAMENT GIVEN BY CATHOLIC PRINCES ROME, Jan. 20.—With all hope for his recovery abandoned, Pope Benedict XV was being kept alive only by the horculean efforts of his personal physicians late today. The Death Angel sat at the bedside of the pontiff and only the final ministrations of advanced science maintained theraveling thread of life. Oxygen, heart, stimulants and digitalis, were being administered. Suffering from influenza pneumonia, inflammation of the throat and high fever, the pontiff sank rapidly during the day, but up to this afternoon, had retained consciousness. Last sacrament was administered by Mgr. Zampini, the Vatican sacristan, at the Pope's own request. The following bulletin was issued this afternoon by the Vatican: "The holy father remains in a very grave condition. Before noon he was After the resident cardinal had been summoned to the Vatican and Cardinal Giorgi had recited the prayer for the dying the pope's lips were seen to be moving. The attendants bending over the bed heard the pontiff, in a weak and muffled voice, praying fervently. He clasped an ivory crucifix in his hands. Despite the fact that the Italian government had been notified that the pontiff was at death's door and the admission had been made at the Vatican that there was no hope, Dr. Battistini, one of the attending physicians, refused to give up hope."

Oxygen has again been administered." The attending physicians did not attempt to disguise from the stricken prelate the seriousness of his condition. GATHAS PLANS BUILDING Wm. Gathas, one of the proprietors of the Oyster Loaf Cafe, announced plans today for a large business block on 140 feet frontage along Cypress-st between Lemon and Los Angeles-sts. He has purchased three lots from the city. The fourth lot was recently sold to the Puritan Dry Cleaners who will also put up an attractive block facing 40 feet on Cypress-st. The property has been occupied by the city auto camp grounds which will be moved to the new park. Gathas has not definitely decided upon the character of the building he will erect, depending upon the demand for leases. MEXICAN YOUTH SENTENCED TO IONE Richard DeLaval, Mexican youth, accused with having committed a series of 29 burglaries and to having made plans for other operations throughout the county, today entered a plea of guilty before Superior Judge West. When arrested in Santa Ana, the boy had in his pockets maps of stores in Anaheim, Buena Park, Westminster and other points, evidently intended as guides for other burglaries. At the suggestion of District Attorney A. P. Nelson he was sentenced today to the Preston school of industry at Ione. He is now 19, so he has about two years to serve there. On his release he will be co-fronted with the burglary charges, and the treatment he gets from the county will depend upon the way he acts while at the school. DeLaval came here from Seattle, and told Judge Z. B. West he was forced to enter a career of burglary by lack of work. His mother died when he was a mere youth and his father when he was only ten years NO DAMAGE FROM COLD WAVE HERE Little or no damage resulted from last night's cool weather in the Anaheim district, according to Managers G. W. Sandilands and W. H. Schureman of the Orange & Lemon Citrus Fruit Ass'n's. Sandilands said that a temperature of 24-26 degrees, lasting for an hour or more, would be required to injure the crop seriously. The lowest temperature recorded by the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n's was 28 at about 6 o'clock, but this lasted for only ten minutes. Sandilands declared. Before seven the temperature was around 30 degrees. By 7 o'clock the thermometer had risen to 32 again. Growers reported temperatures ranging from 26 to 29 degrees. The two managers pointed out that oranges suffer now much less than they would have suffered in December, because the rind contains more oil, which it is necessary to penetrate before the flesh of the fruit is affected. In 1913, Sandilands said, there were three consecutive days of low temperature such as was experienced here on Thursday, only worse. P. E. PERMITTED TO REMOVE TRACKS LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20.

DeLaval came here from Seattle, and told Judge Z. B. West he was forced to enter a career of burglary by lack of work. His mother died when he was a mere youth and his father when he was only ten years old. Then the boy went to sea with an elder brother. He remained on the sea up to 1916, seeing a large part of the world in the course of his experiences as a sailor. He last saw his brother in 1916. He also is an ex-soldier. WILL INVESTIGATE W. U.

PERMITTED TO REMOVE TRACKS LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20.—The Pacific Electric Ry.
