O'DAY BOU FOR T James O'Day, ac Frosted fruit has nothing whatever to do with the temporary closing of certain local packing houses, managers explained today, in answer to a sensational article in a local daily yesterday. The managers, pestered most of the morning by inquiries from anxious growers, felt compelled today to explain why the houses had closed down, incidentally, the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association, this morning resumed partial operation. The closing down for a few days each season is common and does not in any way indicate an unstable condition in the orange industry. Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Orange and Lemon Ass'n., declared. Both he and Manager W. H. Schureman of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n., asserted that frosted fruit was no factor whatever in the matter. Schureman voiced his irritation at the distorting publicity given the industry. Sandilands, entirely on his own initiative, issued this statement: "The prominence given the fact of our local citrus packing houses having closed down in the Herald yesterday would be amusing it not absolutely absurd. What some of us are doing in the handling of our output today is no different from what we have done thousands of times in the last 25 years, regulating as well as we can our shipments with the supply and the demand throughout the country. Referring to the present situation some of our growers have been a little overanxious to move their fruit and with what we had to do (considerably less than last year) it did not seem wise to rush shipments at this time and then along in September have to tell our good customers over East that we did not have any more fruit to give them. You cannot hold valuable business by giving them a feast and then a famine. We must give them a steady, dependable supply, and it is with this in view that we have reduced shipments. Whilst our pickers will be out of the field for a few days we have enough fruit in the house to keep operating under reduced schedule, and there is not and will not be any actual shut down of the plant. There is nothing in the market situation to create uneasiness if we use common sense at this end. "Whilst we are glad to give our local newspapers items that we believe will be interesting to its readers, we protest against and condemn making public those things that are apt to create misunderstanding and a misconception of our real purposes. We have seen things published about our industry that are a distinct detriment to it, that could just as well have been left untold and no harm done to any one, and when newspapers reach a stage in their frantic endeavor to obtain news, where they work a hardship on the section in which they are located and from SAN JOSE, Cal., April 21.—While life's tide ebbs slowly out at the San Mateo Red Cross hospital for 17-year-old Harold Galloway, blond-curled 14-year-old Irene Granstedt, with tears and heart anguish pays in sorrow for the moment of madness which induced her to borrow an automatic revolver to 'bluff' her youthful lover to apologize for words uttered in a sweetheart's quarrel. On a bed of pain the boy calls for his little sweetheart. In his "dying statement" he completely absolved her from blame. "It is purely an accident," he told the district attorney. "The gun went off when I tried to wrest it from her hand. She did not mean to shoot. Please do not blame her." In the little detention room of the juvenile court in the basement of the court house here, Irene spent a sleepless night. Despite the cheering words as to Harold's condition uttered by well meaning matrons, the child—who despite her tender years stood head and shoulders above her school mates in mentality and leadership — seems to feel that something is being withheld. Her tear-reddened blue eyes wistfully question each visitor. Prosecution even in the event of the boy's death seems improbable in view of entire corroboration of her story that the shooting was an accident. She is now in the hands of the juvenile court authorities and probably will be made a ward of that institution. Peritonitis has set in to add to the suffering of the boy, and while his condition was reported today "slightly better," physicians in constant attendance admit little hope is held for his recovery. In another ward of the same hospital young Galloway's mother, bemoans the sternness of physicians who refuse to permit her to care for her boy. She was recently a mother, and while she has not seen her son, she does not know the seriousness of his condition. BIKE RACES HELD HERE SATURDAY Hey, kids, going to the bicycle races! Tomorrow's the big day. It is a nationwide event, known as Davis Day, held under the auspices of the Davis Sewing Machine Co., Dayton, Ohio, world's largest bicycle manufacturers.

Take heed, therefore, what you say and what effect it will have on your community and its people. "G. W. SANDILANDS, M'gr. "Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n" Schureman stated that the packing of valencias two weeks earlier than last year and the fact that there was plenty of carrus fruit on the marker already was the reason. Manager J. H. Ritchie of the Anaheim Cooperative Orange Association said that probably 1,000 carloads of navel oranges from California were now on the road, and the market would be crowded if valencias were shipped in quantity now. Ritchie assisted that all fruit shipped from this district was first class in every respect and as fine valencias as those of other years. His association will begin picking again on Monday and shipping on Tuesday. Managers have declared, repeated and reiterated that this year's shipments would be spread out so that the market would at no time be permitted to be either glutted or bared. At the present time Florida oranges still are on the way to market, although the crop has been entirely picked, and strawberries from the southern states are also arriving in quantity at the Eastern markets. A. E. BATTELL ELECTED RIVERSIDE, April 21.—A. E. Bottell has been selected county horticultural commissioner.

Walther, presiding in common pleas court, was examining jurors. A woman summoned for jury service pleaded: "Can't you let me off, judge? You know I have a lot to do." "That has nothing to do with it, madam," the judge responded. "If I have my way about it you'll put in a week on the civil side and then round out with a week on the criminal side." The juror meekly accepted her fate. She was Mrs. Frederick P. Walther, wife of the presiding judge.

D. Cox today for the Superior Court. Holmes, who took a subordinate part in the alleged theft, was allowed to go. O'Day will have to explain what right he had to commit the alleged grand larceny, making away with the tools and machinery and selling them to other parties. His principal defense all along has been that he owned the land on which the well was drilled by the Sunrise Consolidated Oil Company. E. A. Worden and Walter Brown were co-defendants with O'Day. Morris A. Cain of Santa Ana was associated with Attorney Joseph P. Sproule of Los Angeles in Worden's defense. Worden, Brown and Paul Dressel, when arrested in Portland, exhibited a bill of sale from Holmes, who resided in Pasadena. The three had hired John Osterman, El Toro rancher, to haul the tools and machinery to El Toro, from where it was shipped to Salem, Ore. Osterman said he supposed the shippers were the owners of the articles. Holmes was thereupon hunted up to explain how he had the bill of sale, found at his wife's bier in Visalia and arrested. He had a bill of sale, which explains why he has escaped. O'Day, who gave it to him, had no such bill, but protested that the articles belonged to him under an agreement with the oil company that if certain conditions were not met they should belong to him as owner of the land. President E. A. Conterno of the oil company will remain the principal prosecuting witness in the long drawnout battle. Conterno asserts that O'Day has no claim to the land which formerly belonged to the government, he said, and to, which his claim preceded O'Days.

LOS ANGELES, April 21 — For Withdrawal From Genoa Committee GENOA, April 21.—Germany's official reply to the allies and "little entente" note regarding the Russo-German treaty was delivered today. The Russian delegation announced its reply to the allied experts' terms concerning Russia's debts and obligations would be delivered this afternoon. The official German reply was evasive, it neither consented to annulment of the Russo-German commercial pact nor to complete withdrawal by the German delegation from the political commission, the most important subdivision of the conference. However, it agrees to withdraw from further discussions regarding Russia. The whole tone of the German reply was mild and conciliatory. It agrees that the German delegation "should only participate in discussions of the political commission relative to Russia in case their collaboration is especially asked. This is considered equivalent to acceptance of the allied demand contained in Lloyd George's note, but leaves the way open for Germany to take part in other discussions of the commission. In other words, Germany does not consider she has been barred from the deliberations of the commission except insofar as they concern Russia. This is merely a saving of her face, however, as Russia is at present the chief and only concern of the principal commission of the conference. The reply emphasized the fact that Germany was still interested in all questions before the conference not relating to treaties with Russia or to the Russo-German pact itself.

The gathering will be held in the offices of Manager Dale R. King of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange, and speakers will be present from the County Horticultural Commissioner's office and both the Orange County and Northern Orange County exchanges. Commissioner A. A. Brock estimates the cost at $10,000 and says the building should be located in Santa Ana as planned, in order to be convenient to his office, Brock, who was formerly commissioner for Ventura county, said: "In Ventura county we found that the establishment of an insectary solved virtually all of our past problems in the groves and orchards We tackled the problem in a thorough manner and kept everlasting at it until we obtained the best possible results. I am convinced that equally good results may be obtained in Orange county." In Ventura he was able to effect a saving of $60,000 to $80,000 annually and the mealy bug pest was eliminated.

Stipp, a night-watchman, was beaten into unconsciousness by the robbers who then dug a hole in the brick wall of the Vogue Millinery Co's establishment and looted the store. When Stipp regained consciousness at 7 a.m. he found himself lying on the lofty scaffold beneath the hole in the brick wall. He investigated hurriedly with workmen who rushed to his assistance, and then summoned Police Sergeant Frank A. Post. The burglaries robbed the Vogue shop, taking a gold watch and over looking $500 in currency, which was beneath a hat on a desk which they rifled. Tunneling their way into the adjoining store, Borson's Suit and Cloak house, 316 West Seventh street, the thieves took several expensive suits. According to Sergeant Post's report, to Lieut( A. H. Ferns, the burglars catered the lot which is being excavated for a new building. They climbed up the scaffold, which is fastened to the west wall of the Vogue store. There the bandits evidently encountered Stipp. Stipp says he does not recall seeing any intruders and does not recall how he was rendered unconscious. The robbers beat Stipp over the head and with picks taken from the excavation below opened their way through the brick wall, into the Vogue. FALLS FROM ROOF; PAINEULLY INJURED MRS. R. A.

DEMAND TREATY ANNULLED GENOA, April 21. — With Germany and Russia both determined to stand by the treaty between them, the Genoa conference has reached an obstacle as fatal to its success as the failure of the United States to participate.
