That is Estimate of B. F. Porter, Veteran Orange-thorpe Grower.
Total damage of the walnut crop of growers about Anaheim and Fullerton will amount to at least 40 per cent, B. F. Porter of Orangethorpe road, veteran grower, said today in telephone interview. The loss may each 50 per cent, he said; counting culls or diseased nuts, etc. Growers throut the Santa Ana and San Gabriel valleys are similarly affected, in his opinion, the latter if anything worse than the former. Los Angeles county was hit by the warm spell even worse than Orange county, he thinks.
"Honesty Pays," Is Proven Again
"LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20—I just want to prove to the world that it pays to be honest."
This was the introductory statement of W., J. Shepherd, 3651 Moneta avenue, who received an additional $1000 reward to Madame Galli Curci, noted Italian soprano soloist of New York, $100,000 worth of her jewels which he found on the El Camino Real road, two miles north of San Juan Capistrano, on April 6 last.
Several weeks ago he received a $500 reward from Madame Galli Curci along with a personal letter expressing the extreme thankfulness of the dittinguished singer for the return of her jewels. The reward received today came from Topils & Harding, Inc., representatives of Lloyds Insurance Company of London, England.

Fullerton will have a city manager.
This was decided last night at the regular meeting of Fullerton trustees when the matter was brot before the board by R. G. Raymer, secretary of the Fullerton B. of T. The matter had been brot before the B. of T. by G. W. Finch and approved. Mr. Pinch said that this would increase the efficiency of the city government, and his attitude was endorsed by B. of T. Directors.
The trustees, as a committee of the whole, will seek a suitable man.
An ordinance passed the first reading for the enlargement of fire districts Nos. 1 and 2. The new electrical ordinance also passed the first reading.
The U. P. proposition for a 200 foot right-of-way thru the city yards was accepted.
This morning Trustees Drake, Moore and Coulter visited the Miller district south of the Santa Fe tracks, and hope to confer soon with Santa Fe officials and property owners for co-operation in removing the water menace from this section.
THREE NEW ROAD
DISTRICTS FORMED
Three new road districts, Nos. 14, 15 and 16, including parts of Placentia avenue, North street, Wagner avenue and South street, were breathed yesterday by the Board of Supervisors, after a discussion prolonged well into the afternoon. Debate over the incorporation of Placentia made little progress, beyond the fixing of the boundaries as already reduced, and final action was postponed until next Tuesday.
Following the meeting, Supervisor William M. Schumacher of this district announced that the county probably would enter some helfers, bulls and hogs in the Orange County Fair at Santa Ana.

GEISSINGER NAMED
RELIEF CHAIRMAN
Rev. J. A. Geissinger, of Anaheim, has been appointed chairman of a Smyrna emergency relief committee here. Funds will be received by the chairman specifically for Smyrna relief, to be administered through Near East Relief. All contributions will be transferred at once to the Constantinople headquarters of the relief which serves the Smyrna and Moudania sufferers.
Near East Relief stands ready to transmit overseas any funds contributed for Smyrna relief, says a wire just received from Near East Relief, New York City, at the Southern California headquarters, 517 Wright and Calender building, Los Angeles.
That the desperate plight of Smyrna and Moudania refugees, made destitute by the sudden Turkish victory, will not go unheeded in the Southwest is evidenced by the impressive list of chairmen appointed yesterday to raise emergency relief funds in more than 100 cities by the Southern California committee of Near Eats Relief.
SCHOOLMATES WILL ACT AS PALLBEARERS

Kemalist Forces Advancing in Neutral Zone; Clash with British Rumor
LONDON, Sept. 20.—There were three new angles of the Turk war situation today, each of which was giving London much concern.

AUTO MIXUP NEAR CABIN LAST NIGHT
A truck, truck and trailer and passenger car got into a mixup on the county boulevard near the Log Cabin last night at about eight o’clock, but all three drivers escaped. Three of the vehicles were badly damaged.
Henry Shaffert of the Shaffert Realty company of Orange was driving home from Anaheim when he and the truck and trailer of the Santa Ana Commercial company, sideswept, Shaffers’ care lost its left front wheel and went head-on into a Ford truck driven by Edward Kinsey. The latter vehicle escaped without much damage, but the passenger car and truck and trailer were almost wrecked.
Deputy Sheriff Roy Ballard went to the scene and reported the facts.
WESTS BEGIN BIG GARAGE BUILDING
LONDON, Sept. 20.—There were three new angles of the Turk war situation today, each of which was giving London much concern.
First—There was a persistent report that the Kemallat forces had invaded the neutral zone and were making a forced march on Constantinople.
Second—Dispatches stated that a revolt of Moslems had taken place in Constantinople, which had forced the action of troops, but the extent to which this uprising had progressed was not known.
Third—A definite announcement was made by the British foreign office that England will not permit the Turks to occupy Thrace, which is being excused by the Greeks.
Added to this was the rumor that a battle already has taken place inside the neutral zone and that British forces have driven back the advance guard of the Turks.
Then there is a current report that Bolsheviks have crossed the river Dneist and attacked the Russian troops. This is believed to be a part of the plan of concerted action between the Russians and the Turks.
The Russians are highly incensed against Great Britain and France for the seizure of the Dardanelles by the allies and claim that the territory rightfully belongs to Russia because it controls the entrance to the Black Sea, which is virtually a Russian body of water.
The allies contend that their control of the Dardanelles will mean that entrance to the Black sea will forever remain free to all nations.
Great fear is entertained here for the fate of Christians in Constantinople. Although British troops are arriving there as fast as they can be gathered and transported it is definitely known that the force is insufficient to oppose the advance of Turkish troops and at the same time ptu down an anti-Christian uprising inside the city.
Stirred by the military success of Mustapha Kemal in Asia, the Wahibil tribes have revolted and are threatening coast town son the eastern border of Egypt.
ANAHEIM RANCHER
KNEW DEAD MINERS
Daniel Dakovich, a rancher on the Garden Grove road two or three miles southwest of Anaheim, knew four of the victims of the Argonaut mine tragedy at Jackson and knew of several others, he said today, in response to queries. Dakovich worked for a short time, pushing cars, in the mine some 14 years ago, just before coming to the Anaheim citrus district.
The men he knew were Mark Janovich, Mike Janovich J. Kovac and Rad. Layovich.
He also knew of Mike Vujovich.
Up the Santa Ana river, where it's hot enough to kill a mule—two dropped dead Monday from sunstroke—work on the Anaheim protection levy is moving along apace despite heat and no water.
This is news to Anaheim taxpayers, citizens, businessmen, protection fund subscribers and everybody else, because no one has been up there to see the work aside from a few members of the Anaheim protection committee.
Not that it's an inviting trip, riding thru burning sand! But it is called that last winter a large part of the people in the Anaheim district waded thru mud to get there and see if something couldn't be done to stop the flood that threatened to wash away $6000 per acre orange groves.
Something was done—about $44,000 being subscribed to a fund for protection work. That work is being efficiently carried out under the direction of a subservers' committee. The most active members of the committee are F. A. Yungbluth, C.K. and Charles Hollingshead.
They have spent valuable time in overseeing the work and the creditable job being done is to their credit. Yungbluth, for instance, has been driving up to the work two or three times a week to check up the job. These directors would appreciate a display of interest by the public that would take people out to see the job.
The levy has been completed and the work of driving the piles will be finished before many days. The work of nailing the heavy planks on the piles will require considerable time yet.
A thing that will strike the eye of any subscriber—venturing that one such will drive up there—is the long, graceful curve that has been engineered to save the levy from the force of the current.
The next time you think the weather cool enough that you can walk thru half a mile or more of sand which must be traversed from the nearest road approach to the work, go up and see what has been done with your $10,000.
You will admire the work that has been done but you will also agree that from somewhere additional funds must be obtained with which to oll the top of the levy to prevent the first Santa Ana wind blowing it away, a grave essential.
For the low down on the situation is that the contracts have taken every dollar that has been collected to date and about $200 additional. The situation is critical, as lacking a few dollars now, what has been expended may be greatly endangered if not thrown away.
RAISE $1,000 FOR SALVATION ARMY
Construction of a $10,000 one-story building of hollow concrete, 50 feet or a little over on Chestnut-st and 175 feet deep, has been started by West Bros. of the Auto Electric Maintenance Co. who plan a second building at the corner of Los Angeles-st as soon as the first is completed. The total cost of both buildings will be $20,000 to $30,000, depending upon whether the corner structure is of two or three stories and upon its ground dimensions, which may extend to the line of the Public library.
The police department, which occupies part of the present building, will move to the basement of the city hall as soon as the latter is completed. The only other tenant besides West Bros. is Roy Choate, auto mechanic.
The re-enforced concrete fireproof type of construction followed is some thing new, and different from the hollow concrete block of popular knowledge. When equipped with modern machinery, and supplemented by the handsome suite of offices which the firm will open at the corner, West Bros. will have the largest and most complete plant of the sort in the county, containing battery, carburetor, electrical and possibly other departments.
The space in the corner building which the firm does not use it will lease. The size and exact nature of the latter depends therefore to some extent on the desires of the prospective tenants.
Plans for the corner structure have not yet been filed.
LOARA OUSTS CITY DISTRICT PUPILS
There was an unexpected increase today in enrollment at the grammar schools this morning.
At the board meeting of the Loarra school last evening it was decided that all pupils of school age in the city district should be ousted from Loarra school.
Any pupil living in the country districts who wants to attend the city schools must have a permit from two principals.
Daniel Dakovich, a rancher on the Garden Grove road two or three miles southwest of Anaheim, knew four of the victims of the Argonaut mine tragedy at Jackson and knew of several others, he said today, in response to queries. Dakovich worked for a short time, pushing cars, in the mine some 14 years ago, just before coming to the Anaheim citrus district.
The men knew were Mark Janovich, Mike Janovich J. Kovac and Rad. Layovich. He also knew of Mike Vujovich, another victim. Dakovich previously for three months worked in a gold mine in Nevada. That was about 18 years ago.
The rancher doesn't like mine work and said so frankly.

It will also be of interest to the general public to know that they can secure tickets for the Orange County Fair at the Anaheim C. of C. 132 North Los Angeles-st, any time prior to evening of Sept. 26th at the rate of four tickets for $1.00. This means a saving to you.

FIGHT BIG ODDS TO GET OUT LAST OE MINE DEAD
JACKSON, Cal., Sept. 20.—Out of the depths where they died the remaining bodies of the 47 victims of the Argonaut disaster were being brought today.
The slowness of this process has excited much comment. Yet every mining man will know and understand.
The bodies were found deep down in the Argonaut levels, far from the point where the rescue workers broke through the rock barrier and entered from the Kennedy shafts.
There is no hoist or other equipment in this section of the mine and none can be rigged because of the fact that the tunnels and laterals are scattered about at different angles and places.
To raise a body from the point where the men met death and out to the open air at the top of the Kennedy mine shaft is a long and tollsome process.

There is no holst or other equipment in this section of the mine and none can be rigged because of the fact that the tunnels and laterals are scattered about at different angles and places.
To raise a body from the point where the men met death and out to the open air at the top of the Kennedy mine shaft is a long and tolls process.
First the bodies must be prepared for the removal and the advanced stage of decomposition makes this a grewsome task. Then they must be conveyed, one at a time, along tortuous passages, past the bulkheads which these men themselves built in the last, poisonous hours while they were fighting to bar themselves from the deadly mine gas.
Then there are ladders to ascend, still more tunnels to traverse and finally a passage through the narrow opening where the rescue workers broke their way through in the hope of saving those who already were dead before the "savior shifts" began.
The easiest part of the task comes when the bodies are brought to the main shaft of the Kennedy mine. There they can be loaded upon the regular mine hoists and whisked to the surface as easily as one ascends in a department store elevator.
But the tunnels are so narrow that only one body can be brought through at a time and that only two or three men can help with the ghastly burden.
Reports this morning—when the day shift resumed its task—were that the entire 47 bodies would be brought to the surface before nightfall.
DEER HUNTERS HAVE SUCCESSFUL TRIPS
Deer hunting parties from Anaheim and vicinity who have returned with more or less success, were reported today by L. Wisser of the Wisser sporting goods house on West Center-st: R. Pentuso and V.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 20.—Accused of attacking 17-year-old Dorothy Clark former New York dancer, in Hollywood on the night of Aug. 23, Herbert Rawlinson, film star, was today called to the office of the district attorney to show cause why a charge naming such an offense should not be placed against him.
The accusation was made by Mrs. Evelyn Clark, mother of the dancer, who already has filed a $200,000 suit against Rawlinson for an attack alleged to have been made by him on the girl when she was but 15 years of age.
Following on the heels of the decision to cite Rawlinson to appear to answer the charges made by the two women, came an announcement by Attorney John F. Clark representing the actor, that an indictment of Miss Clark and her mother for blackmail would be demanded by him of the district attorney.
HOLD INQUEST FOR AUTHOR, SUICIDE
The inquest into the death of Miss Minnie Strong, 35, who hanged herself at a Santa Ana rooming house yesterday, took place at 3:30 this afternoon at the undertaking parlorors of Smith & Tuthill. The body was found suspended from a trunk rope tied to a door nob and stretched over the top of a closed door, and the verdict is expected to be simply suicide caused by depression.
A previous attempt at Long Beach in June failed.
Miss Strong left a trunkful of manuscripts, rejected by publishers, and was without funds. A towel was about her neck and a wash cloth in her mouth. A note to the proprietor of the house said that the roat was in her pocketbook. A letter to Mrs. Elva Smith of 411 East Sixth street Long Beach, declared that the girl had nothing to live for and hinted that she was going to join a girl friend who had died some time ago.
A sister of Miss Strong also killed herself, according to the Long Beach police.

Anaheim Delicias at $11.05 and Favoritas at $8.15 yesterday topped the orange markets in their grades at New York City, owing to large sizes, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n.
Anaheim Glorianas at $11.80 came within 20 cents of topping all grades whatsoever, being eclipsed by C. C. Chapman's Old Mission extra fancy brand, which because of slightly larger average sizes brought $12.00.
SANTA ANA FISCAL REPORT
The annual report of the city clerk of Santa Ana shows taxes collected during the fiscal year ending June 30 amounted to $155,613.34, of which the water department collected $86,095.68. Total receipts from all sources were $347,695.29, which with balance of $209,075.60 makes $556,-770.89. Cash on hand was $110,755, leaving expenditures of $446,015.10.
