Gets Letters by Hum What does the star do with his or her fan letters?

The American Fruit Growers, Inc., made no shipments this week, and operation next week depends upon conditions. The Fullerton Mutual Orange Ass'n is picking today and will operate next week. The Placentia Orange Growers' Ass'n, shipped this week 11 cars, the bulk of the total. Shippers on the Santa Fe are tied apparently as tight as ever. California Belle of the Placentia Orange Growers' Ass'n, led all markets in auctions yesterday at $11.10. Cindorella of the Garden Grove Citrus Ass'n, was second at $10.50. There are no auctions on Saturday. The market on Valencia oranges strengthened somewhat under light offerings. Strike conditions have interfered with shipments to some extent, but shippers are inclined to look upon the cutting down of shipments with favor in view of the small quantity of Vhlencias remaining to be moved. At the delivery end the movement of fruit in some districts has been delayed three or four days. On the whole, California citrus fruit shippers have had little cause for alarm because of strike interference. The situation is epotted to be clearing rapidly. All roads are now reported open with the exception of the Santa Fe. F. O. B. quotations are quoted on a basis of $8.50 to $9 per box depending upon sizes and district. Sizes 100s to 176s inclusive continue to command a premium over the smaller sizes. A record price of $15.05 per box for large sizes was reached on the New York market this week. New crop estimates of value are not figured on before September 1. Due to the varying conditions in the different districts, the navel crop around Porterville is probably under two-thirds of normal. Heavy dropping has occurred. Fruit on the outside of the trees is looking well with indications of good size. Summer weather with the temperature ranging around 90 and 95 degrees has prevailed throughout parts of the middle west and eastern territory for several days in succession, the past week giving new life to the lemon market. Prices are advancing under a strong demand from all points. F. O. B. quotations are on a basis of $5 to $5.50 per box on best grades. There are on hand and available for sale within the next thirty days, 24,000 boxes of foreign lemons. CITY MANAGER IS SLOWLY IMPROVING O. E.

We read that Mary Pickford receives several thousand letters each week, while Doug has facilities to take care of equally as many. A star can easily judge his or her popularity via the letters that daily arrive at the studio from folks who have seen the pictures in which they appear. In practically every instance, a request is made for an autograph photo. Jackie Coogan who appears at the California theatre Tuesday and Wednesday in the great world premier of "Oliver Twist" receives each week, a sack full of mail. Jackie's 'fan' letters are probably more unique than any other star in the silent drama. For Jackie hears from little boys and girls his own age. So one of the kids's letters are many pages in length. One school girl wrote him a forty page letter in which she asked him to write often as she wished to demonstrate to her chums that Jackie was a her real 'fellow.' Of times—and more frequently, a few lines are scrawled with pencil on ruled paper.

Jackie by the hundreds—from kiddies who have seen him in the movies—all pleading for picture autographed in his own handwriting. What do the stars do with these letters? What does Jackie with his vast volume of mail? No! In the first place, those where in direct charge of Jackie Cooga film activities, see to it that each and every one of those letters and stalk cards are answered. Practically every question asked in a letter answered. Does Jackie answer it? Hardly! Not that he would like to, but, were this 7 year old riot to undertake the task of answering his own mail, he would make pictures. He would never sleep peacefully. It could not be done. So, Jackie has three young ladies—young men who know and understand dies from beginning to end,ey know how to write answers to see letters and they spend each day,ek in and week out, at a long tail the Coogan Studios, in Hollywood where letters are unfolded, re- and answered.

Racked by the grilling cross-quiz of the San Francisco grand jury, Miss Helen Large in the early hours of this morning confessed to a wild and lawless love affair with her brother-in-law which has resulted in the murder of her own sister and the death of three others. This is the latest and most sensational development in the probe into the killing of Mrs. Anna Wilkins, for whose death the husband is in jail awaiting trial on a charge of murder. Miss Large emerged weeping and broken from the grand jury room, after undergoing an inquisition which lasted beyond midnight. She revealed, it was learned, the full details of her own love affair with her brother-in-law. It is believed that this illicit love was the real reason for the murder of Wilkins' wife, who was killed in May, and for aiding in whose death Robert Castor also is in jail awaiting trial. It will be remembered that when a posse was sent to arrest the Castor brothers as accomplices of Wilkins, Walter Castor shot and killed a deputy, then murdered his sister-in-law, Mrs. Robert Castor, and committed a single mistake in the assessment roll figures and did not receive a single doral protest on assessment appeals. At a joint meeting of council and C. of C. directors yesterday at Elks' She revealed, it was learned, the full details of her own love affair with her brother-in-law. It is believed that this illicit love was the real reason for the murder of Wilkins' wife, who was killed in May and for aiding in whose death Robert Castor also is in jail awaiting trial. It will be remembered that when a posse was sent to arrest the Castor brothers as accomplices of Wilkins, Walter Castor shot and killed a deputy, then murdered his sister-in-law, Mrs. Robert Castor, and committed suicide. Miss Lange has been granted immunity for making her confession and it is believed that the story she has told will bring conviction and the death penalty for Wilkins and Castor. The girl previously had been before the grand jury and had sworn that there was nothing to the rumors of her relations with Wilkins. As a result of this Frank J. Murphy, attorney for Wilkins, has been indicted by the grand jury for subordination of perjury, it being alleged that he influenced the girl to tell her false story to the inquisitors. SALOONS OPENED AS WATER FOUND UNFIT PHILADELPHIA, Ja., Aug. 19.—Prohibition Director Davis is on his way to Johnstown, Pa., according to his office.
