WHEN THE TIME IS YOUR PLAIN DEALER, MAKE IT TO EASTERN FRIENDS—IT MAY BRING THEM TO ANAHEIM, FASTEST GROWING CITY IN ORANGE COUNTY. OVL. XXV—NO. 304 L. A.

The pouring was accomplished by Deputy United States Marshal Al Sittel and prohibition Agent H. H. Dolley maintained watchful eyes. As the liquor trickled through the sewer grating, several thirsty citizens, who had been attracted by the powerful scent, cast kisses toward the hole in the ground. Others sang "Goodby Forever," in dirgeliks tones. LOCAL FRUIT AGAIN TOPS Doubling the liability for property damage, the insurance department of the Automobile Club of So. Cal., yesterday put into effect a slight increase in rates charged. In connection with his announcement of the changes, District Manager Paul V. Allen declared that July had witnessed the largest volume of new insurance underwritten in Anaheim and vicinity in the history of the local office. The extent of liability is boosted from $1,000 to $2,000 maximum, the flat amount applying to all cars regardless of original or present price. Against this 100 per cent increase in liability, the rates are increased by approximately only 15 to 34 per cent over the previous rates. On Ford, Dodge, Chevrolet, Durant and Maxwell cars, for example, the rate is advanced from $5.40 for liabilities ranging up to $1,000 to $7.25 for liabilities up to $2,000. On Studebaker and Buick cars, rates are increased from $6.30 to $7.25. On Cadillacs and Packard single six cars, and cars of similar price, the rates go up from $7.20 to $8.30. The $1,000 maximum limit has been in effect as far back as Manager Allen can remember. Discussing the splendid showing during July, Manager Allen declared that it probably was due to the fact that the club did not, like the old line companies, increase its rates on May 1, as did the old line concerns, which in many cases doubled the amounts charged. May and June were also excellent months for the club. HERE'S LINEUP FOR ROTARIANS' GAME The Rotary Club has again responded to the call of the great American game.

Belton Monney ended in a disagreement of the jury, to move today that she be admitted to bail met with a stumbling block when it was learned that under the law the district attorney's office is entitled to five days' notice before such a motion can be presented. Whether the district attorney's office, which announces it will vigorously oppose the motion, would insist upon the five days' notice or would waive it and permit the motion to be presented and argued without delay, was a matter of doubt, though Deputy District Attorney H.

Jewell, president of the union, was asked regarding action taken by the meeting, but declared he had nothing to add to Scott's state ment. "The telegram has not been sent yet," Jewell said. "It will probably go out during the day." Jewell said the message would not be made public in Chicago, but the unions would wait for the President to make it public if he wished. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Failure of the railway managementsto accept President Harding's program of peace, accompanied by indications that they want a showdown fight with the shop crafts unions, threw the whole rail situation back to the White House today.

It was considered likely today that no steps will be taken until after Friday's cabinet meeting.

STUDÊBAKER AND BUICK CARS CUT Radical reductions in the prices of Buick and Studebaker cars are announced by Bill Goodrum of the Anaheim Auto Co. and Harry D. Riley, distributors for the two cars. With demands for both cars heavier than at any previous period, the sensational "mark-downs" came as a complete surprise to automobile and accessories distributors here. Coming on top of the tire makers' cuts, dealers were asking themselves whether another price war had been started. It is announced that values will be maintained or bettered on both cars: Cuts range from approximately $150 to $300 on each make of car, according to price. New prices are effective at once. According to Buick officials, the reason for the reduction is to enable dealers to celar out their 1922 models at a more rapid rate in preparation for the 1923 models. Last April sweeping reductions were made on Franklin cars, while Fords, Fordson tractors and Lincoln cars have been reduced markedly in the last 12 months. Chevrolet also have been cut repeatedly in the past year. Delivered prices on Studebaker cars, Los Angeles, are: Light Six: Roadster, old price, $1260; new $1190; touring $1260; $1190; coupe $1615; $1450; sedan $1995; $1795; special six: roadster $1675; $1495; touring $1725; $1525; club roadster $1725; $1525; coupe $2495; $2195; sedan $2695; $2375; bix six; touring $2075; $1935; speedster $2275; $2075; coupe $2895; $2650; sedan $3095; $2850. BRITAIN WILL SEND MUCH COAL TO U.S. WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. — Two million tons of coal a month will be brought into the United States from England and Wales as soon as Orders Criswell Allegations Probed LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2. —The sensational charges of graft and payment of protection money by gamblers to men posing as policemen, made by President Ralph Criswell of the city council, today were placed before the county grand jury for action. District Attorney T. L. Woolwine ordered the jury probe, following receipt of Mayor Cryer's letter in which formal requalat was made for an investigation. The mayor's letter, directed to Woolwine, was turned over to the grand jury immediately after the body convened this morning, it was reported. An atmosphere of suppressed excitement pervaded the city hall during the morning when it was indicated that Criswell may be summoned before the grand jury to qualify his statements that between $12,000 and $12,000 is being paid out nightly by gambling houses in the uptown districts for police protection. So far Criswell has refused to disclose the source of his information, but he has stated in a letter to Chief Oakts that he is willing to tell all that he knows of the alleged vice conditions to the district attorney. As a result of Mayor Cryer's statement branding the Criswell charges as "grandstand play" on the part of the councilman, those in touch with the situation at the city hall today looked for a possible clash between the two officials. It was said that already considerable feeling has arisen between Criswell and Chief of Police Oakts, following an exchange of sarcastic letters on the truth of the charges. District Attorney Woolwine refuenced to comment on the situation this morning before the grand jury convened and made preparations for carrying out his promise to Mayor Cryer that the request for the jury investigation would be submitted to that body for action. It was expected that the presentation of the mayor's letter before the investigating body would result in the head of council being subpoenaed to tell what he knows regarding his charges. $50,000 GARAGE FOR FULLERTON SOON Bids for a new $50,000 garage, showrooms and offices for the Wickersheim Implement Company, to be located on the site of the present building at 115 West Commonwealth Avenue, will be invited shortly by M.
