Political Unrest Grips 4 Colonies LONDON, March 13. — Four sections of the British empire today are seething with political unrest. They are South Africa, India, Egypt and Ireland. Open rebellion has been proclaimed. A state of actual warfare exists in the Rand mine fields of South Africa, where government troops are trying to put down the uprising. Disorders are reported from India, where Mohandas Gandhi, chief leader of the nationalists, is under arrest. Political reforms promised in Egypt have for the time being, allayed fighting in that quarter. A strong faction of the Irish republican army is supporting Eammon de Valera in his demand for a republic in Ireland.

Morris, County Horticultural Commissioner, will turn out in force at this week's meeting of the Board of Supervisors, when action on Morris' removal will be taken, after two or three postponements. A committee of pro-Morris growers has issued a statement in which they show that Morris, tar from having had no experience in insect pest control, has had 15 years of such experience in many parts of the country. The committee quotes George Rebman of Anaheim, a member of the northern exchange committee, as declaring emphatically that Stephanus with Morris and does not agree with members of the southern exchange committee that Morris should be removed. F. A. Pehiman of Anaheim, also has issued a statement in which he says "a few large ransen holders" are the group back of the movement to put Morris out of office and put in a man who is "a total stranger to our county." The two statements are: "As a citrus grower the contents of this letter are of vital importance to you. Be sure to read it and then take prompt action. Make it your business to be at the supervisor's meeting tomorrow, March 14, to see the right thing done." Earl L. Morris has been our Horticultural Commissioner for the past four years, and you must recognize that in that time we have received very efficient service from this office and that it is striving to keep well up with the enormous citrus development of the past few years under an economical administration. "It is now proposed by a few large ranch holders of the southern part of the county to remove Mr. Morris and put in a man of whom we know nothing and who is a total stranger to our county and to its many important problems. As an excuse for this movement they state that they would like to see the office of horticultural commissioner combined with the proposed county insectary, and that the new man they have in mind is an expert in this line. They say nothing of the very important and necessary knowledge of the different sections of our county with its individual requirements and peculiarities, experience which this proposed new man absolutely lacks. It is proposed to reward Morris' efficient services for the past four years by removing him and putting an experiment in his place, when as a matter of fact he should be rewarded for his work by giving him charge of the insectary with any additional salary, the added responsibilities call for. Mr. Morris has had fifteen years' active work fighting insect pests in different parts of the country; he is a university graduate and has taken years of study to prepare himself for the position he holds. He has been especially active among unsuperulous fumigators, compelling honest and better work in killing India, where Mohandas Gandhi, chief leader of the nationalists, is under arrest. Political reforms promised in Egypt have for the time being, allayed fighting in that quarter. A strong faction of the Irish republican army is supporting Eammon de Valera in his demand for a republic in Ireland. Three of the British overseas dominions remaining tranquil are Canada, Australia and New Zealand. ARBUCKLE ON TRIAL FOR THIRD TIME SAN FRANCISCO, March 13. — Despite the fact that it was the "thirteenth," Roscoe "Patty" Arbuckle was in cheerful mood today as he went to court for the opening of his third trial for alleged manslaughter. The big comedian, accused of having taken the life of Virginia Rappe on Labor Day of last year when he entertained at his suite in a fashionable hotel here, arrived in San Francisco yesterday. "I'm not worrying. It would not do me any good," was the way all his comment trended. He would not discuss the case for publication. Arbuckle was accompanied by Minta Durfee Arbuckle, his wife, and by his personal attorney, Milton Cohen, of Los Angeles. A jury panel of 65 was ready for the opening of court. Nearly half of the panel was made up of women. It was understood that one of the first moves of Arbuckle's attorneys would be to attack the validity of the proceedings in which the panel was drawn and seek to force the calling of a new panel immediately by disqualifying the first in its entirety. U. S. WILL NOT MIX IN STRIKE PLAN WASHINGTON, March 13.—Any conference between miners and operators to avert the threatened mine strike April 1 must be voluntary. Secretary of Labor Davis made plain today. The federal government cannot and will not resort to court action to avert the strike, Davis told the United Press. If the strike comes, the government can ask injunctions only when the public begins to suffer through a coal shortage, he said.

In the process of this work he has made enemies, and such are a recommendation for his office. A man in its important position who does not make enemies is not active in pursuing his duties and would be valuable to the growers. "As a citrus grower you are vitally interested to see that nothing is done to destroy the work that has been done in the past four years. You are also unwilling that an injustice should be done to any country employee, at the personal dictation of a few individuals who are trying to influence our supervisors in making their decision.

TEAM A DEZELL SAYS CITRUS CROP IMPROVES Powell’s Successor Taking Hold of Job in Very Satisfactory Manner LOS ANGELES, Mar. 13.—Four big developments of the last few days stand out in the citrus industry. First, the damage to the orange crop from frost is not going to be nearly as great as early estimates indicated. Second, the lemon crop is far from being a failure and will give almost normal returns in cash. Third, it has been fully determined that adequate heating of groves will isfactory Manner LOS ANGELES, Mar. 13.—Four big developments of the last few days stand out in the citrus industry. First, the damage to the orange crop from frost is not going to be nearly as great as early estimates indicated. Second, the lemon crop is far from being a failure and will give almost normal returns in cash. Third, it has been fully determined that adequate heating of groves will be the best crop insurance obtainable. Fourth, and by no means least: Earl G. Dezell, successor of the late G. Harold Powell as general manager of the California Orange Growers' exchange, is proving to be a decided success at a critical time when it is necessary to have the highest kind of executive ability to pilot the affairs of the organization. Mr. Dezell, who today was preparing to issue a personal salutatory letter form to the '48 or so associations which make up the exchange, each with upwards of 1000 citrus growers as members, has been able to keep the machinery going when a falter would have proved costly. He took up the reins where they had been dropped by the master driver and carried on without a hitch. His experience fits him to continue with the work, since he served for many years as assistant general manager and secretary when Mr. Powell was engaged in his war duties or was away on long trips he took full charge of the exchange. Mr. Dezell's immediate duties have been to minimize the losses as much as possible by the salvage of the citrus crop, and to protect the public from being served with damaged fruit. According to Mr. Dezell's conservative estimate, the orange loss from frost damage will be about 25 percent less than at first calculated, for much of the fruit was protected by the foliage. While the leaves were withered and yellow, the oranges nestling beneath were partially saved from the biting frost's touch. Some estimates have been as high as 40 per cent better than the early calculation, but Mr. Dezell believes these may not be borne out by later developments. Proportionately, the return from sales will be greater since the scarity of first class fruit will send the prices up, and every cent advance will be clear of additional expense because the overhead is fixed and is already allowed for. Some growers saved practically their whole crop, both because they were located in more sheltered places and because they took greater precautions to heat their orchards when the cold came. Others, in exposed places, and careless in their smudging, lost practically all, and damage to the trees themselves may be lasting. According to Mr. Dezell, the matter of crop insurance has been given considerable consideration, and while the William T. Hunter, for years a deck hand on a San Francisco ferryboat, entertained thousands of commuters on their way home with his wonderful tenor voice. But he is a deck hand no longer. Several wealthy San Franciscans have arranged to send him to Europe for a thorough musical education. He is shown here singing on the deck of a ferryboat. MAKE IT NEIGHBORIZATION Make it neighborization instead of Americanization, Miss Druzilla Mackey, instructor for the Mexican colony of the La Habra Citrus Assn., told assembled Rotarians today at the Elks' Clubhouse. Miss Mackey came to the weekly luncheon at the invitation of a special committee, headed by S. C. Hartranft, which is making an inquiry with the object of improving conditions in the local Mexican colony. Miss Margaret Kuehl, public health nurse, who comes into intimate contact with the Mexicans here, was the other principal speaker. The City Council, City Manager O. E. Steward and school boards were well represented at the lunchcon. They were invited with the object of determining if possible upon a means of co-operation in the amelioration work. O. A. Mullinx was chairman of the day. Hartranft, who introduced the speakers, said the free school system was the best means of Americanizing foreigners, and it had been found necessary to bring adults as well as children into the schools. Miss Mackey said in substance: The use of the term Americanization has been one of the biggest mistakes in this work. Foreigners are taught to salute the flag and revere the government before they understand what the acts really mean. The Americanizer should picture the homes in which these Mexicans, for example, live, and their life generally. When the United States entered Americanization frank was a large and beautiful American flag. She took the flag into each of the rooms she visited, and the foreigners couldn't understand what it was all about. On another occasion some of the teachers working among foreigners in Los Angeles, among whom Miss Mackey was one, called on the proprietor of a well known laundry in connection with work for his foreign employees. He said a special room had been set aside for the foreign workers in which to eat their meals, but they had discarded it in favor of a place by the furnace. The fact is that the workers were Russians with peculiar religious prejudices and demanded food of a certain sort, cooked a certain way. A friend of Miss Mackey's successfully started the classes with a few benches in a side alley. The story was told to illustrate the fact that understanding of neighborhood is the second requisite for successful work among foreigners. Miss Mackey came under the Fulerton union high school board and the La Habra elementary school board when the citrus association... NEW OFFICER HITS YOUTH SERIOUS COLLISION AT ORANGE SUNDAY An accident almost resulted in the death of one and in severe injuries to three others, occurred yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock at the intersection of Batavia and West Chapman, Orange when two autos collided. A Chevrolet, going cast on Chapman, struck a Ford sedan going north squarely in the middle. Both cars are said to have been going at a good rate of speed. The man in the Chevrolet was picked up for dead, and rushed to the hospital, but at late reports today was yet living. The trio in the sedan, Mrs. L. C. Wilson, and Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Wilson were seriously injured, Mrs. Wilson Sr., having sustained a broken wrist, Mrs. Wilson Jr., severe cuts about the head and face, and Mr. Wilson a broken rib. They too, were taken to the hospital for treatment. Both cars were badly smashed, the Ford having turned over twice and all the glass broken to bits, much of it falling in the Chevrolet. Unless O. H. Renner, manager of the S. Q. R. Store, changes his mind and decides to be lenient, Harry Baldwin, one of the new patrolmen here, will have a charge of assault and battery brought against him for an alleged unprovoked attack on Renner's 17-year-old son, Russell. Baldwin was in plain clothes at the time. The boy declares he was knocked unconscious by Baldwin this morning in the Walnut Cafe. Baldwin alleges that the boy was senseless when struck. Eyewitnesses could not be seen this afternoon to corroborate either side of the story. Young Renner, a cleancut healthy chap, never took anything stronger than cocoa cola, however, in his life. And he is not of the "fresh" kind. He and Butler did drink some Cocoa Cola and their jesting was partly over whether it had been "doctoral." On Sunday the boys were out driving with Mr. and Mrs. Renner. Butler was going to stop in town, but decided he wanted to go home last evening, so the elder Renner took him to Buena Park. Young Renner decided to stay all night with his friend and did so. But the two didn't sleep well, and getting up at an early hour this morning started to walk to Anaheim. They were chilly and ran part of the way. When they got here they were cannizing foreigners, and it had been found necessary to bring adults as well as children into the schools. Miss Mackey said in substance: The use of the term Americanization has been one of the biggest mistakes in this work. Foreigners are taught to salute the flag and revere the government before they understand what the acts really mean. The Americanizer should pictures the homes in which these Mexicans, for example, live, and their life generally. When the United States entered the war Americanization work was going on apace in Los Angeles. One day a woman came into a school, where mostly foreigners were, carrified and chilly and went to the cafe to get some breakfast and warm up. According to young Renner's story Baldwin, who was without his uniform and had no shield, objected to the two boys' merry-making, although, the proprietor didn't seem to mind and asked them who they were. Renner told them, and Baldwin continued to quiz the two. At the second question Renner told him it was none of his business what he had been doing, whereupon Baldwin struck Renner in the neck and jaw and knocked him down. The boy was senseless for about a minute, he said, and when he came to find himself in the middle of Center street being taken to the lockup with young Butter. Baldwin didn't seem so anxious to lock him up when he learned a little more about the boys and how they came to be there, but young Renner insisted upon going to the police station and making a complaint. There the trio found Patrolmen Baxter and Moody and the boys told their story. The two were released. WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR ARREST CHARGE VERNON CLUB IN ROUGH HOUSE AT TUSTIN You can't indict a whole nation, but you can serve warrants on an entire ball team. Sheriff C. E. Jackson will prove it today, if possible, when first steps will be taken to bring the members of the second team of the Vernon baseball club, Pacific Coast League, to Santa Ana to explain why they roughhoused Manager Harry Kaiser of the Tustin team and Mrs. Kaiser in a Tustin restaurant yesterday. Ten warrants charging battery today were taken to Los Angeles by Deputy Sheriff Roy Ballard. Kaiser declares that the Vernon team was peeved because the game arranged for Sunday was put off without due notice having been given to the Vernon management. Tustin, like most of the county received copious showers on Saturday, and the diamond there was put out Ten warrants charging battery today were taken to Los Angeles by Deputy Sheriff Roy Ballard. Kaiser declares that the Vernon team was peeved because the game arranged for Sunday was put off without due notice having been given to the Vernon management. Austin, like most of the county received copious showers on Saturday, and the diamond there was put out of commission for the time being. Sunday the grounds handn't dried off sufficiently to make the game advisable, and when the Vernonites arrived they were told there would be nothing doing. The Vernonites objected, not only verbally, but physically. There were words, and no agreement on who was to have the last word was reached. Fists flew, it is said; there was quite a mass formation, the sign language was objectionable, and the principal yard gainers appear to have been the visitors. Mrs. Kaiser was knocked down in the melee. Kaiser himself was considerably mauled. Kaiser was asked to reimburse the Vernon team. He declared that he could not reimburse the team on the spot, but if they would put in their bills in the regular way their claims would be looked after. They didn't like this plan. Hence the roughhousing. Four of the visitors were particularly guilty, says Kaiser; but the Tustin manager is taking no chances about letting any of the assailants off. COMMITTEE WILL VISIT OTHER RIVERS The subscribers' committee in charge of the collection of the $40,000 fund to protect the city against high water from the Santa Ana river will personally visit various rivers in southern California with the object of obtaining ideas on levee construction, it is announced. The committee still favors the construction plan adopted at the mass meeting in the Grand Theatre, when the original committee was named, but doesn't want to settle on any one plan until various other plans have been examined. To date only half the fund has been paid in. Subscribers are reminded that no work can be done until the money is all in. John Brunsworth has resigned and C. E. Jones appointed to succeed J. P. Mayhew. Jones stood in line because of the vote he received at the Union high school meeting. 4 HOUSES GO UP AT VALENCIA SQUARE REDUCTION IN H.C.L. IN ANAHEIM The abnormally high rents in Anaheim have no parallel in food prices, an inquiry here shows. With the exception of onions, which cost approximately seven times as much as a year ago, evaporated milk, which is a shade higher, Japanese rice and one or two other items, most of the principal commodities are lower. Outstanding examples of lower priced food commodities are of course sugar, which even with recent gains is selling wholesale at $6.20 per hundred or thereabouts compared with $9.00 a year ago; butter, 40 cents against 67; eggs, 24 against 36 and flour $8.20 against $10.80. Sugar is not the only item which, even at its present low figure, is higher than it has been. Eggs have risen as much as five cents in the past week or two, tho the price does fluctuate; while butter, an even more uncertain quantity now, perhaps, is a few cents higher. Potatoes are a bit higher than they were a year ago this time, and ham is inclined to be higher. The following wholesale prices for last Friday compared with March 10, 1921, are fairly representative of whatever changes there have been: Mar. 10 Mar. 10 Article 1922 1921 Butter .40 .67 Eggs .24 .36 Cheese .28 .33 Potatoes, per M.....$2.50 $2.30 Onions, per M.....7.00 1.00 Ham .35 .35 Bacon .31 .35 Lard .17 .21 Flour .8.20 10.80 Sugar .6.20 9.00 Rice, Japanese .6.00 5.25 Evaporated Milk .4.60 5.85 Pink Beans .6.75 6.50 HOLD 3 FOR $8000 OIL TOOLS' THEFT Sheriff C.E.

Hurlbert, Portland sheriff, stated the trio were being held for Orange-co., officers. The warrant was sworn out by E. A. Conterlo, who asserted everything loose about the derrick had been taken and shipped north. BUYS 20 ACRES TO SET OUT TO ORANGES James E. Stewart, Anaheim realtor, reports the sale of the Harry Grey 20-acre ranch on So. Brookhurst-rd to H. Kohl of the Anaheim nurseries. It is Mr. Kohl's intention further to improve this ranch and plant it to valencia oranges. It is stated that there has been a large call for valencia lands since the first of the year and that orange growers all over the country have focused their eye on the Anaheim district. Mr. Stewart said that the cold spell which the Anaheim district recently went thru with so little harm, has doubled the demand. REALTY BOARD TO MEET THIS EVENING The Anaheim Realty Board will meet tonight at 6:30 o'clock in the C. of C. rooms, where a luncheon will be served. The speaker of the evening will be Prof. Drum who is expected to give the realtors an instructive lecture.
