REDUCE VALENCIA ESTIMATE IN STATE The state's valencia orange crop will be approximately 11,000 cars, with the prospect of the next estimate cutting this total by another 1,000, a director of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange said today. The estimate is the official one of the exchange as of April 17 and compares with an estimate of 14,000 7 OFFICES, 8 STORES IN NEW BLDG. Bever & Wilson Receive Contract for New Arnold Kramer Block on Center Seven new modern stores and eight offices will increase the city's available business housing space with the erection of the new Arnold Kraemer building at Emily and East Centers, for which excavation is well underway. The building to be constructed of brick and steel, with enamel tile and terra cotta trimings, will be finished on or about Aug. 1. Bever & Wilson received the contract, when their bid was found to be several thousand dollars' lower than those of any other contractors. It is estimated that not less than one-half ton of Orange county's greatest crop, girl and boy babies, will step on the scales at the Baby Welfare Section of the Second Annual, California Valencia Orange Show, during the dates May 23-30, and be examined by a corps of trained experts, so that their fond parents may know how to prepare future presidents, statesmen, and club and society queens for their debut before the Orange county public, some 15 to 18 years hence. This department, which will be housed in a tent, 60x100 feet, on the corner of Cypress and Lemon streets, will be under the care of Dr. H. D. Newkirk and Miss Margaret Kuehl, community nurse, and a number of committees appointed to see that every comfort and efficiency point is prepared and safeguarded. There will be music, lectures on subjects associated with baby welfare and training, in every phase, and a number of merchants will place a select assortment of wares intimate with the growth, comfort and entertainment of the precious mites in a small section of elegant booths to be constructed for that purpose near the entrance. A piano will be placed on the platform and a said pile located near. Mothers and other relatives so desiring, may be able to "pasture" their progeny or charges in the sand while they examine the glories of the California Valencia Orange in the main tent, which will not be connected with the Baby Welfare section, but within a short walk. Downie Brothers, Los Angeles tent manufacturers, are making a tent brand new for this show, which is to be the largest, it is confidently predicted, ever staged in Orange county. This will be a professional show with no prizes of intrinsic value, but prize ribbons will be awarded to winning entries by the Valencia Show Executive committee. ANAHEIM SPRINTER IN SO. CAL. MEET Bill Cook, fast Anaheim sprinter, will represent the local high school in the So. Calif. interscholastic track meet at Patterson field. Occidental College, Saturday.

Many of the local track men will witness the events. HAYS STANDS PAT ON "FATTY" FILMS REDUCE VALENCIA ESTIMATE IN STATE The state's valencia orange crop will be approximately 11,000 cars, with the prospect of the next estimate cutting this total by another 1,000, a director of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange said today. The estimate is the official one of the exchange as of April 17 and compares with an estimate of 14,000 cars as of April 1. At the same time, even with a crop of 10,000 cars or not a great deal over half of last year's returns owing to higher prices will be greater than those of 1920-21, in his opinion. The Anaheim district, which was hit less than any other in the state, will benefit correspondingly. The actual reduction from the previous estimate is between 2900 and 3,000 cars. Less than 100 cars of navel oranges remain to be picked, and the new estimate on this crop of fruit is of trifling consequence. Miscellaneous varieties have all been pickled. The finest fruit is being labelled Sunkist as usual, and some of this is as perfect as any that the state has turned out. One of the principal causes for the cut in estimate is the smaller size of the oranges. HEARING HALTED BY THREATS ON LIFE NEW YORK, April 20.—Fear for the safety of Gen.

CALL OF THE OPEN offices will increase the city's available business housing space with the erection of the new Arnold Kraemer building at Emily and East Center-sts, for which excavation is well underway. The building to be constructed of brick and steel, with enamel tile and terra cotta trimings, will be finished on or about Aug. 1. Bever & Wilson received the contract, when their bid was found to be several thousand dollars lower than those of any other contractors, including prominent out of town builders. Already leases have been arranged for a goodly part of the building. M. Eugene Durfee, the architect, has spared no paints to make the building as attractive and up-to-date as possible and a credit to Anaheim. There will be five stores facing on East Center-st, two shops in the rear of one facing Claudina-st and eight offices on the second floor covering a space of 25 by 91 feet. Beginning at the west end of the building there will be a store 25 by 91 with the same space on the second floor, to which an automatic electric elevator will communicate. Next to it to the east will be another store 38 by 91, with a store above 91 feet square, also reached by a similar elevator. Two other first floor stores, one 16 by 91, the other 38 by 91, will adjoin, while at the corner of Emily-st will be a store 25 by 70; and in its rear two shops each 10 by 25 feet. Modern stairways will communicate with the second floors. The floors over the basements, which will occupy half the front space below of all front stores, will be of strictly fireproof construction. Steel columns, arranged so that the smaller stores can be thrown into one big store at a later date if desired, support the second floors. Part of the terra cottage already has been made by the Tropical Potteries Company of Los Angeles, which received the contract. The Baker Iron Works will provide the elevators. Among the decorative features of the large front stores will be mezzanine floors, while an abundance of window show space, ceramic tile above marble and copper trimmings about the windows themselves will be conspicuous features.

Hays, "czar of the movies" barring Arbuckle films from the screen, remained unchanged today. It was understood that Hays will stand pat on his decision. Hays' order was still being widely discussed today. Many women's organizations were reported to have adopted resolutions indorsing Hays' action. Ole Hanson, former mayor of Seattle, on the other hand, bitterly attacked Hays and persons behind the motion picture censorship movement, branding Hays' action as un-American and worthy of the "age of medieval despotism."

BATTLE FOR BILL Fight in behalf of the so-called lawyers' bill, restricting trust companies and other concerns from giving legal advice or executing legal instruments except through authorized attorneys, will be carried throughout the county by the Orange County Bar Association, it was made clear at a meeting of the association last night in St. Ann's Inn Santa Ana. Leonard Evans and Homer S. Ames were appointed a committee to arrange for a dinner meeting at the Elks' Clubhouse in the near future, and appointment by President Horace C. Head of three committees of three members each was authorized, on organization, finance and publicity, to take charge of the campaign for the bill which the lawyers' body will wage. The Bankers' Association of North Orange County has condemned the bill. The Orange County Bankers' Association has heard a speaker against the bill and at its next meeting will hear one in its behalf. The objection to the present state of things was that trust companies employed men who were incompetent and not lawyers. The principal speakers were Carlos S. Hardy and Harry A. Hollzer, both of Los Angeles. Hollzer is secretary of the campaign committee of the State Bar Association and Hardy a member of the committee. The county association voted to use its efforts to back the bill at the referendum next fall. The speakers contended that the bill was in the public interest and not against. It was charged that the trust companies had men prepare wills, themselves appointed executor and then manipulated the property in their own interest. Which as executors they could do. Huge amounts of money were drawn to the large cities; it was charged, by such means, $80,000-000 in 1914 alone. Certain trust companies even had gone so far as to employ the funds of estates to purchase their own bank stocks. Real estate dealers will be able to execute contracts as before, it was declared, and other businesses would enjoy likewise the same liberties as heretofore. Some 30 lawyers were present. dealer AGE COUNTY WHEN THRU WITH YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAIL IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY.

When Heintselman entered the apartment of his wife she was alone. They talked for a few moments and, according to persons living in the apartment house, several shots rang out. A traffic officer at Sixth and Figueroa streets and A. W. Hemmrikus of $21 Loew's State building broke down the door of the room and found Mrs. Heintselman lying on the floor near a couch, calling feebly for help. Heintselman was near the door, gasping. A bullet which he sent crashing through his head fractured the base of his skull and the resulting hemorrhage caused his death before he was removed to the hospital. The note to the coroner read: "County Coroner: I took our lives not because I wanted to harm my wife, but as she has gone wrong and I caught her and another girl coming out of the Imperial apartments Tuesday with two men and got in an auto. It is more than I can stand. She left me about two weeks ago, accusing me of chasing, just to have an excuse so she could run out. Was in San Francisco two weeks ago. Come home and found a mark on her neck which some one had put their teeth in, but was about cleared off. But I said nothing and the trouble made me think. Tonight I was convinced."
