Clears Off Canvass and
Settles Dust
Wm. G. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury and director-general of railways under federal control during the war, will be asked to open the Second California Valencia Orange Show, Manager Malcom Fraser announced today.
Individuals or concerns intending to exhibit in either the citrus fruit or automobile exhibits of the second annual California Valencia Orange Show will have to hurry up and reserve their space, the management said today. Practically all the spaces in each tent are gone, although the show is still two weeks off.
The rain today caused a lot of extra work in loosening ropes in the tents, all of which now are up. The storm was welcome, however, because it cleaned off the cannons and laid the dust.
The rules of entry for fruit exhibitors, which have just appeared, announce that the competition is open to all communities in the State Agricultural experiment stations may compete, but not prizes. Protests against exhibits must be filed with the chairman of awards not later than Thursday, May 25th, at 6 p.m. Entries at noon Wednesday, the 17th exhibit must be in place by mid-monday, May 22. No exhibit shall be permitted to compete for more than one premium except on written permission of the manager.
The rules for judging grapefruit will be the same as for judging oranges.
Separate rules for judging lemons have been issued.
Exhibits in the industrial tent, 130 by 380 feet, will include every known accessory of the citrus fruit industry and scores of other articles and commodities.
Herbert O. Davis, secretary of the Orange County Automobile Trade Assn., is pushing preparations for exhibits in the auto show in the industrial tent. The automotive show will be the largest ever seen in this part of the state.

CHIRO SCORES ORANGE-CO JUDGES
With several more chiropractors of the county awaiting trial on charges of practicing without licenses and several others serving sentences of 90 days or more in the county jail, Dr. Sue Amack of Anaheim today scored Superior Judges R. Y. Williams and Z. B. West for alleged unfairness. Those still to be tried are Hatch & Kelly of Santa Ana, Session & Session of Fulerton and a Dr. Saunders of Huntington Beach.
Griffith Jones of Los Angeles, general counsel of the United Chiropractors' Association, a national organization, will defend them, assisted by various other attorneys of the county. Clyde Bishop represents Hatch & Kelly. Session & Session were the last to receive their preliminary examination. They were arraigned last Wednesday.
No evidence has yet been brought forward against Dr. Amack or Dr. Berge of Fullerton, who were visited recently by Attorney Albert Carter of Pasadena and Constable A. W. Wood of Anaheim.
Chiros in the county have been driven to the practice of adopting a code for their patients' names, which is one of the first things sought by Carter by way of evidence. These names are not revealed under any circumstances, although chiros declare that patients have never in a single case presented evidence against a practitioner.
Committees of 12 practitioners each are working in Los Angeles and in San Francisco in behalf of the referendum, demanding a separate board of examiners for chiros in the state. Details of the referendum now being worked out include the prohibition of use of anything but the hands in practice. The use of electricity or any other method whatever will be forbidden. Permitting these other methods was responsible for splitting the ranks of the chiros in the fight two years ago for a separate board, the northern practitioners being opposed to such provisions.
Chiropractors' Defenders Leagues are springing up in many parts of Washington to appear before the senate committee in behalf of the bill for the protection of Imperial Valley from floods.

Happy Times Ahead
For Phila. Wives
PHILADELPHIA, May 9. — Another victory for wives!
If a wife wants to ruin her
husband's digestion, she has a
right to do so.
"Where's the law to prevent
her?" asks Judge Horace Stern
of the common pleas court here.
"There's no law which regulates
the cuisine of a household," he
says in a decision which has
caused a cloud of gloom to settle over Philadelphia husbands.
"The day has gone by when a
wife is to be looked upon merely
as a keeper of a well-regulated
restaurant or boarding house at
which her husband is an honored
guest."
Furthermore, a wife has a
right under the law, to wear an artificial switch, smatter rouge all over her face or even take a bath, according to Judge Stern.

Druggist Reports Hearing Armed Gang Plan to Raid Place in Watts
LOS ANGELES, May 9.—A reported "demonstration" by a band of more than 35 men, wearing white hoods over their heads and carrying guns, in the district near Ninth St. and Central avenue, was under investigation today by police officers and deputy sheriffs.
The men in hoods terrorized the district by parading the streets, according to reports at police headquarters and the sheriff's office today. They vanished quickly as they appeared when squads of officers were rushed to the scene.
A druggist named O'Connor at Ninth street and Central avenue first reported that the band was assembling near his store. He said the men wore hoods like those which are a part of the regalia of the Ku Klux Klan and that he heard them planning to raid a place in Watts.
Residents of the district who claimed to have seen the masked men were terrorized, according to the police reports, which stated that homes were barricaded and that preparations were made to fight the mob with guns.
Details of the secret meeting of the Ku Klux Klan in Inglewood, at which the raid on the home of Fidel Elduayen was planned and which was said to have been presided over by Nathan A. Baker, kleagle of the klan and one of the confessed leaders of the masked mob, were given to the county grand jury today.
Blake E. Shambeau named the man who attended the meeting and repeated the story he told at the coroner's inquest over the body of Constable Madford Mosher, slain in the raid, which first linked the Ku Klux Klan with the mob violence and brought the so-called "invisible empire" under investigation.
The motorcycle officer took the stand in the grand jury room after Frank Woerner, night marshal at Inglewood, who killed Constable Mosher and wounded two others in routig the mob, and Clyde Vanatta, had completed their testimony.
R. D. Knickerbocker and Don Parker, newpaper men who witnessed the raid, were waiting to be called while Shambeau was on the stand.
CHILDREN BURN TO DEATH WITH FATHER
MARENGO, Ill., May 9.—Five members of a family of nine were burned to death here today when fire swept the home of August Borke, 48, a railroad employee. The five were Borke and his children, Harold, 8; Helen, 6; Peter, 7, and Neome.
Representatives From Forty Counties Will Inspect Valencia Groves Here
Leading ranchers from 40 counties of the State will be the guests today of the Board of Supervisors, chambers of commerce and extension service of the Farm Bureau. Some 200 delegates were in the party, which was met near the Yorba bridge by the committee at about 10 a.m. Later in the day the directors of the California Valencia Orange Show stopped the caravan long enough to distribute big, juicy Valencia oranges.
Stop at Arkley's ranch at Garden Grove proved of grp at value and it was demonstrated very conclusively that drainage is an important object in Orange county and the entire State.
Luncheon at noon at Birch Park was provided by Supervisors assisted by Associated Chambers of Commerce. A detailed outline of Extension work and Farm Bureau activities in Orange county was given by Farm Advisor and Secretary-Manager.
A visit to H. L. Wakeham's dairy, where a part of this high producing grade cows were in the barn with their records posted. Cups won by cows and charts depicting work for the year were feature numbers. Exhibit of recent additions to herd were in evidence.
Following this the next stop was at the Block Poultry Ranch at Costa Mesa. An up-to-date University type house was open for inspection and again charts explained the work being done and added features according to Mr. Block's plans.
One of the longest stops of the day was at the San Joquin ranch and a variety of subjects were discussed. Among these were the control of parasites, the insectary, and inspection of citrus groves.
The last stop was at the George Briggs place where a talk on walnut grove rejuvenation was made and the subject of codling not discussed.
Guests were then housed at the hotels in Santa Ana and Anaheim, as a finale to the day's program.
CHAUFFEUR FOUND BOUND AND GAGGED
LOS ANGELES, May 9.—Found bound and gagged in his bedroom today, William Elfelt, chauffeur for Mrs. Clara Akeley, wealthy woman of 1715 South Fifth street, Alhambra, told investigators that he had been surprised by five mystery bands, according to a report to the Sheriff's office.
It was said that Elfelt said he came here recently from New York. According to Chief of Police Eliott, the chauffeur gave conflicting versions of the attack.
PREDICT BIG WALNUT CROP
A walnut crop possibly 25 percent greater than that of last year in the Anaheim district is predicted by George M. Ross, secretary-manager of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Association, unless something untoward takes place between now and the time of picking. The secretary added that the association's acreage had been increased by various independent growers joining.
Conditions for a similarly larger crop are favorable in other walnut districts of the State, Ross instituted.
The trees are looking splendid, he said. The setting of the nuts is heavier than last year. Instead of ones and twos, there are clusters of threes and fours, the secretary said, and this in itself always indicates a heavier yield.
The bountiful rains have helped the crop considerably, and the only weather condition at all likely to arise that would seriously harm it is a period of premature warm weather.
Blight and pests are in less evidence than in other years.
The increase of two cents per pound in the tariff on unshelled nuts, if finally passed as appears likely, also will help market a good deal, said Ross. Imported walnuts, however, have increasingly failed to measure up to diamond brand California nuts and to command as good prices. Some of them look as well, but have not the meat and flavor.
It is too early to say anything about prices, Ross said. Last year prices opened stiff, and the highest prices of the year were received at the close.

FLOODS THREATEN TULARE-CO CROPS
TULARE, May 9. — A market crop of $9,000,000 spread over an area of 368,000 acres in the flooded bottom lands of Tulare lake, was at stake today as ranchmen attempted to check the water, reported to be streaming from the lake at the rate of 14,000 cubic feet a second.
The lake is being flooded from the Kings river. Irrigation ditches, the last chance of the ranch owners, are being frenziedly widened to relieve pressure from the bloated lake.

WASHINGTON, May 9. — Refusal of the Senate Naval committee to increase the appropriation required to develop new naval bases on the Pacific coast, including the one at Alameda near Oakland on San Francisco bay, is announced. The joint congressional committee two years ago favored the bases at Alameda and San Pedro and at Sand Point, Wash., but the Senate opposed.
DOS ANGELES, May 9. bound and gagged in his bedroom today, William Elfelt, chauffeur for Mrs. Clara Akeley, wealthy woman of 1715 South Fifth street, Alhambra, told investigators that he had been surprised by five mystery bandits, according to a report to the sheriff's office.

DIST. ATTY SCORES
K. K. K. DETECTIVE
L. R. James, a private detective, who yesterday issued a statement in Santa Ana defending it, Ku Klux Klan and declaring that it was composed of highly reputable men, received a warm answer today from District Attorney A. P. Nelson. Nelson asserted that James was a member of the Klan and that he had gone to Herman J. Eker, Anaheim merchant, before the latter had made public the fact of his having received a threatening letter from the Klan, asking to be retained as his detective in running down the person who sent the letter.
The District Attorney's reply is the most crushing that he has yet made in connection with the Klan. In spite of the fact that Klansmen visited his home and gave Mrs. Nelson a warning against his further activities against the order, Nelson has maintained an entirely impersonal and legal stand toward the Klan.
The reported demand by petition of various Anahelmers that Nelson give out the membership of the Klan will be useless, however, Nelson maintaining that unless the members persist in the connection and commit overt violations of the law he will not prosecute them.
No Anahelim members as yet, nor members in any other city of the county besides Santa Ana, have made known their intention to resign from the order, Nelson said. The Santa Anas, including many persons of prominence, showed Nelson the actual letters of resignation, he said, as evidence of their good faith.
Plants, by means of their greenness are able to collect and store the heat of the sun.
TYSON GUILTY OF STATUTORY CHARGE
William Tyson of Fullerton was found guilty of the statutory charge brought against him before Judge William H. Ellis in superior court at Santa Ana and sentenced to one to 15 years. A boy of 14 was involved. He was granted a short stay of execution of the sentence to give him time to settle up his affairs.
COAST IN BATTLE FOR NAVAL FUNDS
WASHINGTON, May 9. — Pacific Coast interests today were expected to concentrate their efforts in a final attempt to gain appropriations for development of new naval bases in the west coast.
It was announced that the senate naval committee would refuse to add to the pending naval appropriation bill legislation requested by the navy department, providing for a flee base at Alameda, Cal., an aviation station at Sand Point, Wash., and a submarine base at San Pedro, Cal.

PARIS, May 9.—The heart of Paris was swept by a spectacular fire this afternoon, favorite resorts of American visitors in the Mont Martre theater district being totally destroyed.
Losses will reach a huge total, it was reported, as the blaze swept from building to building despite the efforts of all available fire fighters.
The Casino de Paris, the theater best known to Americans with the exception of the Follies Bergere, was burned to the ground.
American artists, headed by Pearl White, who made the playhouse a popular center of amusement, suffered heavy losses in the fire, which swept through the theater with such rapidity that the saving of costumes and properties was extremely difficult.
Players rehearsing in the Apollo theater a few doors distant, were forced to flee in costume as the flames spread.

CASINO DE PARIS, the laureat
best known to Americans with the exception of the Follies Bergere,
was burned to the ground.
American artists, headed by Pearl White, who made the playhouse a popular center of amusement, suffered heavy losses in the fire, which swept through the theater with such rapidity that the saving of costumes and properties was extremely difficult.
Players rehearsing in the Apollo theater a few doors distant, were forced to flee in costume as the flames spread.
The Perroquet, a select dancing resort well known to tourists and one of Peggy Hopkins Joyce's favorite haunts, also was destroyed, but hope was held out that the Apollo could be saved.
The flames were spreading thru the lower Mont Martre theatrical district this afternoon and several big department stores near the Casino de Paris were in danger.
The district thru which the flames swept was thickly populated. Many of the most famous theaters of Paris are crowded into the lower Monte Martre region.
Hundreds of fire fighters and apparatus from all parts of Paris were jammed in the narrow streets near the scene in an effort to save surrounding buildings.
Pearl White, who a fortnight ago narrowly escaped injury when a weight fell near her on the Casino stage, is without an engagement as a result of the destruction of the theater.

Annaheim and Orange-co. received a generous rainfall last night and this morning.
The Anaheim Sugar Co. reports .48 of an inch for the storm, which makes the seasonal total 17.90 compared with 11.14 at this date last year.
Santa Ana reported .55 for the storm., 17.03 for the season and 10.08 for a year ago. Fullerton reported .31 to 8 a.m., and seasonal total 18.60.
According to the rainfall chart issued last week by the Security Trust & Savings Bank of Los Angeles, the average rainfall in May for 45 years is .44 of an inch. The figures are based on the records of the Irvine Ranch Co. of Tustin.
So, it would seem any rain that might interfere with the Orange show has been disposed of.
MAKES OFFER FOR
SANTA ANA HOTEL
The prospect of St. Ann's Inn remaining open arose today with the announcement that Fred Kalenbeck, hotel operator well known in Southern California, was in Los Angeles negotiating with the directors of the Santa Ana Hotel Company for the purchase of the building and grounds. He also is preparing to make an offer to W. H. Moore, Jr., trustee in bankruptcy for W. H. Hewins, for the equipment, which Moore, following a disagreement with the hotel company trustees over a price, was preparing to auction off. Kalenbeck is today awaiting the return of Moore from San Francisco, where the latter went on business.
If the negotiations are successful the hotel will not close on Thursday, as was planned.
Kalenbeck, a Pomona man, recently sold out the Hotel Cast Blanca at Ontario.
