XXV—NO. 154 BEAUTY NO SHIPPING AGREEMENT VIOLATED Sloop Says No Orange-co Packers Have Violated Gentlemen's Understanding Todate "Not a shipper in Orange-co todate has violated the gentleman's agreement not to pick citrus fruit before the 6th," George W. Sloop, acting inspector for County Horticultural Commissioner Earl Morris said today, in connection with a meeting of the California Citrus League called for Monday at 1 o'clock in the league's offices in Los Angeles. It is understood the gathering has been called at the instance of the independents, who control only 20 per cent of the total shipments from the U. S. Woman Acts As Tho She Owns Town CHICAGO, Feb. 3 — "The American woman marches down the street as if she owned the town," Jules Bols, president of the French Society of Physical Research, said in an address here. "She really feels superior to men," he added, "I was astounded when I came to America a few weeks ago. In Europe Freud declared women are handicapped by an inferiority complex, that is, they feel a deficiency when competing in the world of men. That may be true in Europe, but it certainly is not true here. They have what I would describe as the superiority complex. Women here will go far." BODIES RECOVERED IN MINE BLAST BROWNSVILLE, Pa., Feb. 3 — Twenty-two bodies had been removed from the Gates mine of the H. C. Frick-Coke Co., at Gates, Pa., up to 9 o'clock this morning. The total number of men killed by the "Not a shipper in Orange-co today has violated the gentleman's agreement not to pick citrus fruit before the 6th." George W. Sloop, acting inspector for County Horticultural Commissioner Earl Morris said today, in connection with a meeting of the California Citrus League called for Monday at 1 o'clock in the league's offices in Los Angeles. It is understood the gathering has been called at the instance of the independents, who control only 20 per cent of the total shipments from the state. At the same time there is some dissatisfaction, it is said, over the method of selecting oranges that may be shipped. In this connection, Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n said that fruit only slightly touched, as in the Anaheim district, might show crystals, but never dryness. Sloop himself said that he had found only a few dried navel oranges in the county and no Valencias. Much of the fruit which has shown crystals improves later and is merchantable. Frequently even the flavor is not badly affected, according to Sandilands. Only 75 carloads of navels, says Sloop, remain to be shipped from the county. "The representatives of the league will meet Monday to decide more positively than thru the presence of crystals in the fruit as to what fruit can be shipped to market and what fruit should be kept here in California or handled by the orange by-products," the San Dimas plant—is the way Sandilands stated the object of Monday's meeting. It would be foolish to throw away merchantable fruit, Sandilands said, but "it is better to be a little too stringent than a little too lax." The independents have various marmalade and other factories which take their cull oranges. Horticultural Commissioner Earl Morris and Sloop attended yesterday a meeting of the county horticultural commissioners in Los Angeles, at which representatives of the state department of agriculture were present.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 3.—Although the belief result of the second manslaughter trial of Roscoe Arbuckle "a hung jury," a faint ray of hope was held out today might be reached by the 11 men and 1 woman who have on the comedian's fate for more than 40 hours. The exhaustive examination being given the evidence by the jurors was the basis of the hope on the part of Arbuckle and his attorneys that a verdict will be reached. The jurors have had in the jury room since late yesterday the entire transcript of the testimony of the case. On the first ballot taken today, however, the disagreement continued. Junior Lee Dolson was reported better today. A severe cold from which he was suffering caused the jurors to be taken to their hotel at 9:30 o'clock last night instead of at 11, as usual. They returned to their deliberations today at 9 a.m. While there is an entire lack of information as to what has gone on in the jury room, some observers believe today that the count is now standing 10 to 2 for acquittal, as in the first trial, with one of the two willing to be won over if the twelfth can be convinced. The jurors apparently have retained their good humor, and are proceeding in their attempts to reach an agreement in a friendly fashion.

SHIPS 748 TONS OF NUTS At the annual meeting of the Irvine Assn. yesterday stockholders learned that the return from the 1921 crop would amount to $590,000. During the season 748 tons of merchandable nuts or 200 tons more than in 1920 were shipped. The larger crop was due to a heavier yield and the coming into bearing of younger trees. Conecrete bleaching drums are to be substituted for wooden drums. New bins may be built in which to keep the various lots separate before being racked. This will eliminate house culls. The board of directors was re-elected. GUSTS MOVE TO NEW HOME Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

Secretary Andrew Mellon had hurled his verbal bricks accurately. He said: "Funds with which to pay a soldiers' bonus must be raised by internal taxes. It would not be practical to depend on the proceeds of the proposed funding of $11,000,000, which European nations owe the United States."

ASK CITY TO REIMBURSE FIRE LOSS Assert Fire Truck 24 Minutes Late at Rose-st Blaze Last Evening The residence of Mrs. J. Wilber, 210 So. Rose-st, was burned to the ground about 8 o'clock last night, when flames spread from a garage a few feet away. The house was owned by Mrs. W. L. Tadlock, now in Fresno. A daughter, Mrs. C. B. Hailber, resides at Placentia. The house was fully covered by insurance, as was also an Essex auto, property of R. Houser, which burned with the garage. However, Mrs. Wilber, who resided alone, lost all her household goods and clothing, saving only a house dress she wore when the Film Man's Death Recalls N. Y. Murder NEW YORK, Feb. 3. — The murder of William Desmond Taylor, motion picture director, in Los Angeles yesterday, recalled to New Yorkers the mysterious and as yet unsolved murder of Joseph B. Elwell, bridge whistle king, more than a year ago. Both men were alone in their homes when an assassin's bullet snuffed out their lives. Both men were popular with women and in some ways were "men of mystery," who might have been slain for any one of several motives. In neither case was the slayer's weapon found nor was it apparent how entrance was gained to the home of the victim, all doors being locked at the time. A woman is believed to be involved in the mystery. BIG CHECKS FOR FLOOD CONTROL today by the news that Clyde Wagner, 25, Anaheim man, had died last night in a Coalinga hospital from injuries sustained yesterday morning in the Coalinga oil fields. Young Wagner went north three weeks ago to work on an oil derrick. He had been at work only two days when the fatal injury was sustained, a heavy weight dropping on his head. The deceased is survived by his father, D. E. Wagner, sister, Roberta, and brother, David, of Anaheim, and two married sisters in Fresno. He was single. The mother died three years ago. The Anaheim relatives, driven by Francis Elliott, will leave tomorrow morning for Fresno where the funeral will be held.

Although the belief is general that the latter trial of Roscoe Arbuckle will again be people was held out today that agreement and 1 woman who have been deliberating more than 40 hours. LEMONS HURT MORE THAN FIRST THOT The damage to the lemon crop will be larger than was at first estimated officially, according to a man in the best possible position to know, who has visited many of the growing sections in So. Calif. While an estimate at present is characterized as a "guess," it is fixed for the time being at 40 per cent. Higher lemon prices, which might be expected as in the case of oranges, may be offset by shipments from abroad, chiefly Sicily and other parts of Italy. Crystals are the index of damage for the first two or three weeks after a heavy frost, and after that the presence of dried out segments. The county south of Fullerton did not experience the damage from the cold weather that the north suffered. Upwards of 30 associations have ordered the water separators for damaged oranges and lemons. Regarding orange damage, this man said that Valencias recover considerably from early damage such as that recently experienced. Sweeds, the variety of Valencias which perhaps is most susceptible to severe weather, are not proportionately a large crop in the Anaheim district. 210 So. Rose-st, was burned to the ground about 8 o'clock last night, when flames spread from a garage a few feet away. The house was owned by Mrs. W. L. Tadlock, now in Fresno. A daughter, Mrs. C. R. Halber, resides at Placentia. The house was fully covered by insurance, as was also an Essex auto, property of R. Houser, which burned with the garage. However, Mrs. Wilber, who resided alone, lost all her household goods and clothing, saving only a house dress she wore when the fire started. The fire started just as Houser, who had been working on his car, was ready to drive out. Neighbors of Mrs. Wilber were much agitated today over what they termed an inexcusable delay in the arrival of the fire truck. Some asserted it was 24 minutes from the time the first call was sent in until water was being played on the flames by the fire department's hose. Had it been only delayed ten minutes, the house and contents could have been saved, it was asserted today. In the absence of the fire hose, garden hose was played on the side and roof of the house until the gas tank in the auto exploded, when the structure could no longer be saved by such efforts. Mrs. Milber stated today that at least three different calls were put in by telephone for the fire department. Manager R. A. Beard of the Pac-Tel. & Tel. Co. asserted night operators reported today they rang the fire department repeatedly, and failing to get a response there, called the police without response. Police finally responded after the red light had been on for some time. Fred Minyard, fire truck driver, asserted today that he was near the telephone all the time but that the bell did not ring. He said he didn't know anything about the fire until someone drove up in an auto and notified him. He said the phone didn't begin ringing until he was in the driver's seat. Driving out, he says someone climbed on the rear of the truck. Thinking it was a flagpole at Center and Los Angeles-sts as usual but proceeded directly to the fire hydrant at East and Center-sts. When he arrived there, he found that he did not have a fireman with him, and had to do all the coupling for the long distance himself. He says he thot the pressure would be better at the East-st hydrant than at the hydrant on Broadway within about 200 feet of the fire. City Manager O. E. Steward stated today he would make an investigation. From what he had learned this afternoon, he considered it the result of a series of unfortunate circumstances. Mrs. Wilber stated today that she would appeal to the city for reimbursement for the loss of her belong- several motives. In neither case was the slayer's weapon found nor was it apparent how entrance was gained to the home of the victim, all doors being locked at the time. A woman is believed to be involved in the mystery. BIG CHECKS FOR FLOOD CONTROL The flood control committee of the C. of C. today was in receipt of a check for $500 from the Standard Oil Co. and of a check for $100 from the Crown Stage Co. "We are still keeping at it and hope to peg out within a few days." It was stated today by Chas. Eygabroad, chairman of the committee which has for its goal a $40,000 fund. No further danger of the river breaking out as a result of this week's rain was felt today and city teams, which have been hauling brush to the temporary protection work, were withdrawn today by City Manager O. E. Steward. BURIAL IN ANTARCTIC LONDON, Feb. 3—The body of Sir Ernest Shackleton will be taken back to South Georgia island for burial, the Daily Mail announces.

CHANGE OF MOVIE INDUSTRY DENIED LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3—An alleged plan to move the headquarters of the motion picture world from Los Angeles to Long Island, said to have been proposed by Will S. Hays, which was revealed in dispatches from New York today, came as a complete surprise to the motion picture producers of the city who were most influential in securing the services of the postmaster general for the industry. Not only were local producers assembled by the reported moving program accredited to Hays, but they were firm in their denials that such an action would be taken by companies they controlled. The dispatches state that the Hays plan was to have all motion picture companies abandon Hollywood for a new colony on Long Island and was tentatively adopted some time ago.

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR SLAYER? WOMAN SCORNED, THEORY IN TAYLOR MURDER NOW LOS ANGELES, Feb. 3.—A beautiful mystery woman who may have been the central figure in a love vengeance plot, and a man who presumably was the actual slayer, were the outstanding figures today in the police investigation into the assassination of William Desmond Taylor, noted motion picture director, who was slain in his home at 404-B South Alvarado-st. Squads of detectives worked during the day on seven phases of the murder mystery and it was declared that practically all clues involved the names of the man and the woman. In the latest police theoretical construction of the murder plot the woman was placed in the role of the beauty with whom the actual slayer was believed to have been madly infatuated. On the other hand, the detectives were declared to have obtained evidence that the "woman in the case" was in love with Taylor and it was believed she may have involved the detectives who have worked constantly on the case since the body of Taylor was found in the study of his pretentious home early yesterday took charge of the probe of outstanding claws.
