New Act Is Law At Midnight WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—The Fordney-McCumber tariff act was signed at 11:07 a.m. today by President Harding. In the President's executive office the last legal step was taken to make the law effective at midnight. This ends the long, bitter fight which has been waged over the measure since congress first began to work on it nearly two years ago. 2 FRACTURED SKULLS IN COLLISION HUNDRED FARMERS GET JUDGE So.

Why buy the same fertilizer for all parts of a good-sized ranch, when it may contain under the top sand or sall, as many as 35 different kinds of soil within the root radius, less than three or four feet below the surface? Dean D. Waynick, Ph.D., director of the Assn. Laboratory west of the city, here at the call of 17 different Orange-co packing associations, exchange and independent, is saving growers many thousands of dollars on water, fertilizer and in trees, killed by too much or too little kindness. Incidentally Waynick announced that new equipment now was on route here or soon to be ordered which would make the local soil and fertilizer laboratory the most complete in the western states. The most important of the new machinery to be installed in a Briggs centrifuge, which revolving at the rate of 2550 revolutions per minute, reduces the water in any given sample of soil to exactly the right or minimum amount for the tree to flourish; there are only two of these in the area at present, one at Berkeley at the State University and the other at Riverside. Only less important are four pressure filters for rapid filtration, working under air pressures, to be installed. After that a hydrogen electrode, it is hoped, will be put in to determine the acidity of various soils. According to Waynick, he usually has a dozen ranches' soil under examination and analysis at one time with 12 to 35 samples from each one or an average of 275 samples at a time. The need of the new equipment, therefore, is evident. Regarding tests, various factors enter into them, the principal ones being soil type, moisture equivalent, physical condition of soil, past irrigation practices and lower soil structure. At present, samples of 20 acres near the sugar factory are being examined for moisture determinations, and on Waynick's advice no irrigation has been done for seven weeks, the trees meanwhile thriving better than ever before. Near Fullerton a rancher was found about to supply more nitrogen to soil which lardy, even five feet below the surface or say two feet below the root radius, contained. 02 more nitrogen than was necessary or good.

Bixley, and his grandmother, Mrs. Russell, suffered fractured skulls, and Mrs. Bixley was badly bruised and cut when the Bixley car collided last evening with that of L. Perry of 92 West Myrtle-st, Santa Ana. The woman and her son are in a very critical condition. Mr. and Mrs. Bixley and their son, Francis, daughter, Martha, and Mrs. Bixley's mother had returned from Santa Ana and were crossing the boulevard on which they live to their driveway when Perry crashed into them. The accident happened at about 2 o'clock. How fast Perry was going and what is his culpability have not yet been announced. Motorcycle Officer O. K. Carr was dispatched to the scene and reported the facts to Sheriff C. E. Jackson. Motorcycle Officer H. S. Warner is at the Community hospital for two or three weeks with a badly injured right side, broken rib, scalp wound and other injuries, following the pursuit of a speeder on the El Toro road yesterday afternoon. Warner was moving rapidly, when one of his front tires exploded. O. K. Carr, another motorcycle officer, said he himself had just returned from puruning a speeder and that it was Warner's turn. Carr added that he had felt uneasy from the time Warrior left him. A passing motorist reported the accident. MUSICIAN BUILDS HOME ON RANCH C. B. Berger Co., has sold ten acres in the Cerro Villa Heights tract to Carl F. Rohles, a musician and teacher, formerly in Chicago and more recently of Los Angeles. The property is fully improved with two-year-old valencia oranges and has an interest in one of the finest irrigation systems in the state. It has an exceptional location and Mr. Rohles is now building a home there.

One five-year-old grove near Fullerton has not been irrigated yet this year, but is flourishing better than ever before. The best grove in or about Placenton, 15-year-old trees, now is being irrigated for only the second time this year. The soil of one man's ranch near Anaheim was found to be extremely dry in the first nine inches, but below that to contain so much moisture that his roots actually were rotting. He was warned just in time not to irrigate again until so advised. Not less than three feet, nor usually more than six deep, are removed for samples. An exact amount of moisture is unnecessary and also impossible to obtain, but the optimum or best and wilting or insufficient points of moisture content are constant for any given effort are directed to realize between the two. Determinations are made for nitrogen content, organic matter, limes, general salt solution etc. of soils and fertilizers. Waynick thinks that water conservation means saving what water there is available on the farm. He believes also that examinations of soil or aught else anywhere but "on the ground" is so uncertain as to be largely without value. And he is acting accordingly.

Greatly Increasing Facilities in Orange-Co. The So. Calif. Edison Co. today is putting in on Palm street near Cerrios-av the last two poles of new transmission lines south and west of Anaheim which will help enable the company to supply hundreds of additional ranchers. The installation of the new poles is a small part of a big extension of the company's facilities, the improvement to include an increase of 40 to 50 per cent in the capacity of the Katella sub-station, which now supplies most of Orange-co, and construction of a $1,-500,000 sub-station between Laguna ROUNDING UP FRUIT CARS IN EAST Most of Threatened Loss Account of Car Shortage Prevented Prevention of most of the threatened losses from delay in shipping local oranges and tomatoes already packed and on the packing house floors, the rounding up of cars in the East by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe with prospect of a better supply perhaps 10 days hence, and the maintenance of firm prices despite competition from deciduous fruits—these are the features of the fruit shipping situation in Anaheim today. Frenchman Flies 213 3-4 Miles Per Hr. VERSAILLES, Sept. 21.—Flying at the terrific rate of 213.75 miles an hour, Sadi Lecointe, French aviator, beat the world's airplane speed record here today.

Edison Co. today is putting in on Palm street near Cerritos-av the last two poles of new transmission lines south and west of Anaheim which will help enable the company to supply hundreds of additional ranchers. The installation of the new poles is a small part of a big extension of the company's facilities, the improvement to include an increase of 40 to 50 per cent in the capacity of the Katella sub-station, which now supplies most of Orange-co, and construction of a $1,500,000 sub-station between Laguna and Bell near Downey to supply all of So. Calif. The latter will be connected with the Katella sub-station and assist the latter in extending its service well into Los Angeles-co as well as to spread out southward in Orange-co and vicinity. The sub-station reduces the voltage so as to make the current usable. The addition to the Katella substation will be started as soon as the materials arrive. It is exclusive of the already completed installation of a 15,000-k. m. transformer and 10,000-k. v. a. condenser July 1, to replace the former 7,500-k. m. transformer and two,2,000-k. v. a. condensers. The new sub-station, to be known as the Laguna-Bell, will be the largest in the western states and will require years to complete, altho its maximum voltage of 220,000 will be available after January 1. The current capacity will be steadily increased as the structure progresses. At present all the juice is supplied directly from Eagle Rock. A much larger transmission line now will be constructed and connected with the Laguna-Bell sub-station. From Long Beach, which now thrusts steam plant supplies most of northern Orange-co, a new line will be built to connect with the Laguna-Bell station, enabling the company to supply a long string of towns in Los Angeles and Orange counties. The Long Beach production plant itself is comparatively new and is not yet operated at full capacity. BONUS DEFEAT AIDS TREASURY WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—Defeat of the soldier bonus bill following President Harding's veto will make it easier for the treasury department to go through with its program of financing the needs of the government, treasury officials declared today. Secretary Mellon, it was stated, now believes the government will encounter less difficulty in refunding that part of the public debt bearing short maturities. LAWYERS ACCUSED OF FEE-SPLITTING LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21.—Preparations for a grand jury inquiry into an alleged graft, corruption and mismanagement in the county jail age Prevented Prevention of most of the threatened losses from delay in shipping local oranges and tomatoes already packed and on the packing house floors, the rounding up of cars in the East by the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe with prospect of a better supply perhaps 10 days hence, and the maintenance of firm prices despite competition from deciduous fruits—these are the features of the fruit shipping situation in Anaheim today. Anaheim Co-Op Orange Ass'n, caught with approximately 1500 boxes of oranges on its floors, received two cars each day this week, will receive two more tonight and plans to ship three cars by boat from Wilmington for Seattle on Sunday, Its two houses, which were closed for two days, today re-opened. Randolph Marketing Co. still has a carload of fruit on its floors that hung over from late last week, and fears some loss. The company began to pack tomatoes again this morning. The first car of oranges this week is being loaded today. Only two empty cars have been received this week. Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n can ship no more fruit to the Indian Hill Citrus Ass'n cooling plant at North Pomona, which is jammed with peaches oranges and grapes, but Manager W. H. Schureman said he had other places "up his sleeve" which would prevent loss of fruit that cannot be shipped at once. Schureman has been getting a car per day of the Southern Pacific. He said that all of the railways now are curtailing orders for cars so far as possible to relieve congestion and have their inspectors personally busy rounding up empties in the East and sending them to So. Calif. In June 14-17, 1917 during the extremely torrid period, the nuts were cooked on one side, although the outer shell did not show it, the commissioner recalled, but no such condition has been evident this year. Brock's men have examined more groves and trees than any other individuals, but he admitted that even his estimate was not absolutely certain. CITIES FIGHT FOR UTILITIES CONTROL The plan to pass next November a state constitutional amendment which will take away from cities the control of transportation franchises and put such control completely in the hands of the State Railroad Commission will be fought vigorously by So. Calif., municipalities, indications today were, with the issuance of invitations to Mayors and other officials of 40 communities to attend a conference next Monday at the Los Angeles City Hall to organize the opposition. Officials of the Calif. Real Estate Ass'n and others have put themselves on record as in favor of the amendment. Mayor William Stark of Anaheim has been invited, as well as other mayors of the county. Stark, who will not return to the city probably until late in the week, has been active in similar gatherings of mayors and is expected to attend. BROOK PUTS DAMAGE AT 10 PCT. Total damage to the walnut crop in Orange-co after it had set will not amount to more than 10 per cent, according to Horticultural Commissioner A. A. Brock widely at variance with B. F. Porter, veteran rancher of Orangethorpe avenue, who estimated the loss at not less than 40 per cent. J. J. Dwyer also is inclined to think the damage small. Brook, basing his estimate on reports of his inspectors, said that walnuts already were being picked, and the warm weather of a week or 10 days ago came too late to cause much damage. The Horticultural Commissioner includes loss due to aphis, heat and all other causes. The recent warm spell has caused the nuts to drop faster, but that is no disadvantage, said Brock. The warm weather in the middle of the summer may have caused some loss, but not a great deal, in his opinion. Wind and blight earlier still may have done some slight damage. In the vicinity of Pomona, where the temperature rises higher and in other parts of Los Angeles-co, the loss may have been somewhat greater, but even there probably was not considerable, says Brock. In June 14-17, 1917 during the extremely torrid period, the nuts were cooked on one side, although the outer shell did not show it, the commissioner recalled, but no such condition has been evident this year. Brock's men have examined more groves and trees than any other individuals, but he admitted that even his estimate was not absolutely certain. MINNESOTA PICNIC SATURDAY There are 50,000 Minnesotans in the southland and all included in the wide open call to the picnic reunion all day Saturday in Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles. All the usual happy picnic features will be carried out with a short snappy program but no long speeches. There will be 92 county centers of interest and basket dinners will be in order. Hot coffee will be provided. GHOST HOUSE IS SEARCHED FOR CLUE NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Sept. 21—The mystery of the "ghost house," near which the bullet-riddled and bruised bodies of a millionaire minister and his choir leader were found, was penetrated today. LAWYERS ACCUSED OF FEE-SPLITTING LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21.—Preparations for a grand jury inquiry into an alleged graft, corruption and mismanagement in the county jail broadened in scope today when it was learned that 12 widely known Los Angeles attorneys are alleged to have been implicated by statements of a number of prisoners in a so-called "capping system" operating in the jail. Gross irregularities in the handling of criminal cases by a number of prominent criminal attorneys is said to have been bared by the statements taken by the district attorney's office investigators. ANAHEIM ATHLETE BECOMES BENEDICT Of interest to Anaheim sport fans and other friends of Vern "shorty" Perguson is the announcement of his marriage at Santa Ana yesterday moon to Miss Media Watson of Orange. The couple was attended by Miss Ophelia Bush of Orangethorpe and Walter Kohlenberger, and the flower girl, Miss Caprice Jones. The bride was gowned in a dark tailleur with hat and accessories to match. A wedding dinner was served at the Pennant Cafe in Santa Ana. "Kid Ferguson," the battling numigator, as Vern is known, needs no introduction to the sport fans and other young men of Anaheim and virility. He has appeared on the bill several times at the Athletic club and has a host of friends who extend their congratulations. After an extended honeymoon to various pleasurable resorts, Mr. and Mrs. Perguson will be at home to their friends in Anaheim, where the groom has provided a cozy home. SENTENCED TODAY LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21.—Completed of the strangling of Mrs. Nancy Whelock, aged apartment house proprietor, Adam Blazyk and John Whelock were to appear before Superior Judge Houser today for sentence to life imprisonment. Subscriptions totaling $967.80 for the Salvation Army were reported today toward the conclusion of the drive, which opened yesterday. Many workers yet are to be heard from and reports from various industrial plants still are to come in. The final total is expected to be well over $1,000. The Kiwanis Club, according to the latest figures, had collected $328.50, the Lions' $290.30, Elks' Lodge $223.00, special team $90.50 and Anaheim Sugar Co. $32.90, while a special donation was made of $2.00. There will be 92 county centers of interest and basket dinners will be in order. Hot coffee will be provided. GHOST HOUSE IS SEARCHED FOR CLUE NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Sept. 21.—The mystery of the "ghost house," near which the bullet-riddled and bruised bodies of a millionaire minister and his choir leader were found, was penetrated today. The past of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. James Millic, the church of St. John the Evangelist, was dug up in an effort to find a solution of their murder. Prosecutor Strickler, working on the theory that the two were either lured to or surprised in the deserted mansion on the Phillips farm and then brutally murdered, went over every foot of the house, searching for a clew. SEARCH MINE FOR ONE MISSING BODY JACKSON, Cal., Sept. 21.—Careful checking of the bodies brought to the surface of the Kennedy mine of the men who lost their lives in the pit of the neighboring Argonaut mine revealed today that one was missing. Forty-eight bodies lie in the temporary morgue at the stamp mill of the Kennedy, all sealed in caskets. The body of William Fessell, author of the death note which was seared in the planking of the second barricade the doomed men had erected in order to check the gas that seeped through, was missing. AUTO DEALERS WILL MEET THIS EVENING The dealers' craft of the Orange-co Auto Trades Asn' will hold their monthly meeting tonight at George Dunton's garage on North Los Angeles-st. There will be a supper at 6:30 and a business meeting later, at which drawings for space for the auto show of the Orange-co Fair will take place. Finally those present will be the guests of the Auto Palnt Shop, in an outing to La Vida Springs. BATTLE FOREST FIRES SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.—Seven forest fires throughout the state were being battled by 250 men today. THE RAIDED SHERIFF AND U.S. PROHI. AGENT ARREST FIVE MEN In one of the most successful raids ever conducted by Sheriff C. E. Jackson's office, five men were arrested last night at Sunset Beach and Seal Beach, charged with manufacturing or selling liquor, and one of the largest quantities of whiskey and beer on record in Orange-co unearthed. Another arrest is impending. The sheriff and his men were assisted by Federal Prohibition Agent W. J. Mosher of Los Angeles, whose co-operation enabled the officers to enter incorporated towns for the first time. Mosher, who is connected with the Los Angeles office stands ready to give further assistance, and a much tighter enforcement of the prohibition laws may be expected henceforth. The men arrested are G. H. Gleason, postmaster at Sunset Beach, found selling liquor; Frank Hegley of Seal Beach, his bartender. C. C. The sheriff and his men were assisted by Federal Prohibition Agent W. J. Mosher of Los Angeles, whose co-operation enabled the officers to enter incorporated towns for the first time. Mosher, who is connected with the Los Angeles office stands ready to give further assistance, and a much tighter enforcement of the prohibition laws may be expected henceforth. The men arrested are G. H. Gleason, postmaster at Sunset Beach, found selling liquor; Frank Hegley of Seal Beach, his bartender, C. C. Barnhart and Edward Jones and Earl Sullivan, lunchroom proprietors. Hegley is a former brewmaster and all five men are believed to be in league. The raiding party, led by Sheriff Jackson and Agent Mosher, included Deputy Sheriffs E. E. French, Roy Ballard and Herman Zabel. Gleason was the first man taken in, the party driving from there to Hegley's place in Seal Beach. Hegley got out of County Jail on July 9 after serving nine months and paying a fine of $900. Booze was found at Hegley's place, and from there the party drove to his house where, in Hegley's absence a search warrant was served on Mrs. Hegley. In the barn loft in the rear the best equipped still ever found in the county was discovered. There were 50 gallons of whiskey, 175 gallons of homebrew in crocks and bottles and 186 bottles of beer capped besides 12 on ice ready to be served. All of the crocks were smashed except enough to serve as evidence, which were appropriated. Mosher declared the raid had been the most fruitful he had ever participated in. The five appeared this morning before County Prohibition Commissioner Maurice Endler and their bail bonds were fixed. Bail of each was fixed at $2,000. Today the sixth man, W. P. Snider of Sunset Beach, was taken in on two charges of selling liquor. It will probably be two weeks before the six receive their preliminary examination at Santa Ana, owing to the pressure of business which U. S. Dist. Aity. Joe Burke of Los Angeles is experiencing. NORTHWEST CITRUS MARKET APATHETIC If the Northwest or any other section is trying to take advantage of the limited shipping facilities to beat down orange prices it has failed to do so as yet, Manager G. W. Sandilands declared today, in discussing the market situation, "We don't propose to give our fruit away," said Sandilands. Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n manager had the Northwest in mind particularly, intimating that the latter appeared apathetic as if waiting for prices to come down. SEVEN SEEK AHLBORN'S POSITION J. Paul Taggart, well known Anaheim man, is the latest to announce he would seek the appointment of postmaster to succeed J. F. Ahlborn whose term expires this month. This makes seven candidates for the appointment which admittedly will be made upon recommendation of the Republican county central committee, the local members of which are Judge J. S. Howard, Earl Dutton and D. J. Jessurun. Mr. Taggart has been a resident of the city for a long term of years and formerly conducted successfully the Chevrolet auto agency here. The other candidates are Frank Taurchi, George Tedrick, Vic Lamont, J. H. Whitaker, Herbert Sampson and E. W. Hedges. It is expected the matter will be opened within the next month by the postal department which will examine candidates orally and submit a list of those qualified for the post to the G. O. P. committee. The latter has announced that no promises have been made and it's a free-for-all race—for Republicans. ALLEN BUYS TEN ACRES ON PALM-ST W. B. Allen yearday purchased the Adolph Kneip ten-acre Valencia grove on the west side of Palm-st nortof North-st. The consideration is understood to have been $30,000. The grove has a fine crop of fruit for next year. Mr. Allen plans to hold it for subdivision purposes in the future. ATTENDS FUNERAL OF PIONEER AUNT Mr. and Mrs. Henry M. Adams were in Orange yesterday to attend the funeral of Mr. Adam's aunt, Mrs. M. V. Adams. The pallbearers were nephews of deceased of whom Mr. Adams was one. Mrs. Adams was a pioneer of the county. She was prominent in Christion church, a charter member of the W. C., T. U., in which she had held many offices, and a great Red Cross worker. Her philanthropy was of a very quiet kind but most effective. Having no children of her own she had raised and educated four motherless children, three boys, two of them her nephews and a niece. She MARKET APATHETIC If the Northwest or any other section is trying to take advantage of the limited shipping facilities to boat down orange prices it has failed to do so as yet, Manager G. W. Sandillands declared today, in discussing the market situation, "We don't propose to give our fruit away," said Sandilands. Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n manager had the Northwest in mind particularly, intimating that the latter appeared apathetic as waiting for prices come down. At some seasons of the year, when the Northwest markets are not flooded with deciduous fruits, they are among the best in the country, said Sandilands, who mentioned San Francisco especially. Sandilands' association is taking advantage of transportation by boat so far as necessary, but this means shipment to the Northwest only. Anaheim Co-operative Orange Association is shipping by boat from Wilmington to a considerable extent. BRITISH LINES IN PERILOUS POSITION ATHENS, Sept. 21.—The question of peace or war between England and Turkey is being decided at a Turk council in Smyrna today. The Turkish commanders are demanding an immediate attack upon the British and capture of Constantinople, but the civilian diplomats are seeking to restrain them in the hope of gaining their territorial desires without further bloodshed. They feel the British army is in an untenable position. CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 21.—Grave fears were entertained here today for the safety of the British forces which entrenched themselves as the advance ports to halt the movement of the Turkish army against the Dardauelles. Constantinople and the neutral zone. INJUNCTION BILL CHICAGO, Sept. 21.—Decision on the bill for a permanent injunction against striking shopmen was expected to be handed down late today by Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson. Arguments by counsel were being concluded today. Watch and Jewelry repairing, Witman's WHY IS THIS WRONG? The answer will be found among today's want ads. (What "Blunder" do you suggest?)
