Only five cars of oranges and one of lemons were shipped by the two exchange associations this week, because it was impossible to pick except for short intervals.

Only five cars of oranges and one of lemons were shipped by the two exchange associations this week, because it was impossible to pick except for short intervals. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n, according to Manager W. K. Schureman, will eat its holiday shipments probably in two, because of the storms and the limited time—Dec. 7 allowed to ship. The Anaheim Co-operative Orange Agn expects to ship its first car on Monday. There is a considerable shortage of cars in the north, says Manager W. H. Ritchie, owing to continued congestion of traffic. A few of the first cars of the 1922-23 crop of California navels shipped that have gone to private sale markets have sold at from $6.50 to $7.50 per box delivered, but the number of cars sold have not been sufficient to actually establish a market. The auction centers have had no offerings of new crop navels to date and until more fruit is sold shippers will be more or less in the air on actual market values. Up to and including Nov. 27 Central California districts shipped 469 cars of navels as against 765 cars for the corresponding period last season. The situation on refrigerator cases is improving and most loading points report sufficient cars available. The fruit in most Central California districts is running heavy to large sizes while Southern California fruit is running medium size. o. b. quotations, usual terms, range from $1.25 to $4.50 per box, according to district, and applies to northern, central and southern districts alike. Cash quotations on central California navels are mostly on a basis of -4.15 and one southern, $4.00 per box. So. Calif. districts report navels coloring well. The sugar content is increasing rapidly and many districts are having no trouble in having the fruit pass the "8 to 1" test. Several packing houses in the highlands, Redlands and Riverside district have made shipments the past week. The first week in December will see most packing houses in operation to get out what fruit they can for the Christmas trade. There are on hand and available for sale within the next 30 days, approximately 60,000 boxes of foreign lemons. ANAHEIM CONCORDIA ELECTS OFFICERS At the annual general meeting of Anaheim Concordia last evening, Fritz Horback was re-elected president along with the re-election of the Rev. W. Griffith Cowley, of So-lon Springs, Wis., who is searching for evidence to disprove intimations that he is responsible for the death of his 65 year old bride, Clara Cowley, who is believed to have been a victim of poison. WOMAN HURT WHEN CAR UPSETS Mrs. F. Silk, 1215 Diamond-st, was painfully injured yesterday afternoon while returning from Santa Ana when the car in which she was riding tipped over on its side, after having skidded on the wet pavement, causing a three-cornered cut on her face. The car was driven by her son, Robert, and the accident occurred when he swerved after passing another car. The boy was not hurt. She was blot to Anaheim for surgical attention where it was found that she had received a two-inch cut and eight stitches were necessary. P. Weaver of Anaheim and W. G. Cameron of Anaheim ran their cars together at Emily and Chafftrees-sts yesterday, according to report to police. Both cars were damaged. No one was reported injured. An accident was reported to local police today from the state highway near Buena Park where a Bulck owned by J. Doermann of Buena Park was struck and a wheel broken by an Overland driven by W. R. Huma of Anaheim. The accident is said to have happened when a Ford driven by Earle Hogle of Pomona came off a side road in front of the Overland. In trying to avoid striking it, Hume struck the Bulck.

THERMOMETER Minimum 56 at 2 a.m. Maximum 66½ at 1:30 p.m. BUY IN ANAHEIM ONLY 18 SHOP ENGINEERS WILL STUDY RAINFALL The Santa Ana river, High Line canal and other streams are full of water accumulated from the hillsides in the recent storms. County Engineer J. L. McBride said today. The water is flowing in a good-sized stream into the ocean, altho the stream under the Olive bridge is hardly a rivulet. Confirming the report that a band of eight, including engineers, will winter in the mountains about the headwaters of the river to carry out their conservation and protection plans for Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, McBride said that an agreement with Redlands, which provided that the latter and companies operating in the vicinity would not spread water until a full stream was flowing under the Olive bridge would be observed as usual. The snow in the San Bernardino mountains has not been touched by rain or sleet because of the high temperatures, said McBride. The mountains contain an unusual volume of the beautiful. Up to eight o'clock today,.07 of an inch of rain had fallen in 24 hours, making the total for the storm .32 and for the season 1.09, according to the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n. The gauge on Max Nebelung's ranch showed .07 for the 24 hours. AT ANAHEIM HOSPITAL New patients at the local sanitarium include: H. J. Boxell of Long Beach and Harry Opperman of Placentia.

Valencia Orange Show With Ease Anaheim C. of C. has been a leader in optimism regarding local realty values. This was evidenced in 1920 within three months of the organization of the new body, when a lease was taken on lots Nos. 17 and 18 in Koenig sub-division on South Los Angeles at. Apartments were erected thereon by member subscriptions, to satisfy a great demand caused by dire shortage of housing facilities. At the expiration of the first year's lease on the lots, directors of the Chamber signed a personal note for $3000 and took them over and a short time thereafter, Anahela Citrus Farm Estate bought the property.

TIERNAN IS HUNTED FOR MIND TEST CHICAGO, Dec. 2.—Prof. John P. Tiernan, principal in the notorious South Bend paternity case, was ordered to the psychopathic hospital today by Judge Frank H. Rigenheimer. Tiernan, who fought to prove that his wife's child was the son of Harry Poulin, was being abused by the sheriff, but was reported to have left the city during the night. The warrant for Tiernan's arrest was signed by Mrs. Frances Pulaski, sister of Mrs. Tiernan. It assigned Tiernan to the hospital for "examination." Tiernan, several months ago, accused Poulin of being the father of his wife's child. Poulin, however, was acquitted of the charge after a sensational trial. Later Tiernan, after being divorced only one day, married Mrs. Blanche Brimmer, pretty Iowa widow. The marriage was immediately declared illegal and Tiernan returned to his first wife. A reconciliation was effected and the former Notre Dame professor declared he would be a father to the child whose parentage was questioned. Mrs. Pulaski took charge of the Tiernan house during the time when Tiernan was reported to have eloped with Mrs. Brimmer and refused to let either of the Tiernans talk with newspaper men. On Thanksgiving Day, however Tiernan said over the telephone that he was very much in love with Mrs. Brimmer. "She is a regular woman," he said. "She smokes cigarettes and everything." The first gravel from Orange-co's new pit at Stern Station was taken out this week, when grading and graveling of the Yorba Linda road east to the pit on the Pacific Electric started. There is two miles of this road and when the rights of way and the permission from the Pacific Electric have been obtained there will be a road improved to connect with the Placentia Yorba road at Placentia. The gravel supply is practically unlimited, County Engineer J. L. McBride said today. The engineer has finished the gravelting of Western avenue near Cypress from Lincoln ave., about a mile and one-half. The plant at Olive furnished the gravel. McBride anticipates no difficulty is obtaining the rights of way for the second link in the county of the Coast Route from Huntington Beach to Newport Beach. The State that bids would be advertised on Dec. 15: The owners of abutting property are large holders and glad to have the improvement made. The third link, from Newport Beach to Laguna Beach, still is in abeyance. The raising of the Calibert bridge will be completed today, and work on the approaches start next week. The road probably will have to be closed for a time. The work of gravelling LaHoya street connecting with the Placentia boulevard, a mile and one-half, is finished. Work on the extensive road program in Brea has been somewhat delayed by the failure of rock to arrive.

Tius, the capital sum of $70,000 will be placed in units of one share for $100 and up. This, it is expected, will give rise to camp collections for a further loan for the Calif. Valencia Orange Show of $10,000 with which to carry the preliminary costs of the 1923 show. But, the committee expects it will not be necessary to ask for more than $5000 of this, which will leave the site able to take care of the demands of 1924 show, providing that exposition needs help. Messrs Eygabroad, Johnston, Berger, Benjamin and Stern, the Exposition Site Committee, feel that the financial difficulties of the Calif. Valencia Orange Show are over, as the amount offered for this 35 acres is still less than $10,000 of a possible cash price which can be secured within 30 days. It is the plan of the Orange Show Executive Committee to retain at least 10 acres of this beautiful site and to keep as many orange trees in production as is possible so that the permanent layout of the grounds will be curved by growing oranges, typifying the Valencia, which it represents. Gifts of Liquor Held Bootlegging WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—The habit of attaches of foreign embassies in passing out liquor to their American friends is bootlegging, pure and simple and guilty persons should be prosecuted regardless of their diplomatic connections, according to Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon league. It has been whispered about that often times society leaders whose cellars are empty have been rescued from the plight of staging a monotonous "dry" party by some gallant attache of certain foreign embassies who have access to almost limitless supplies of the best that comes in bottles. That's nothing more or less than bootlegging." Wheeler said. "Any attache who makes such illegal use of liquor should be prosecuted." GALLI-CURCI UPSET IN MOTOR-MISHAP PASSAIC, N. J., Dec. 2.—Madame Amelita Galli-Curci, the prima donna, became hysterical when the automobile in which she was riding was wrecked on a bridge across the Passaic river just before 12 o'clock last night. Reports of the accident said the machine almost plunged into the water off an open drawbridge and that to avoid the drop the chauffeeur swerved, capsizing the car, which was demolished. Madame Galli-Curci escaped with minor bruises. SHOWERS TONIGHT; SUNDAY UNSETTLED LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2.—Declaring that weather conditions tonight and tomorrow are very uncertain, with even chances of rain or fair weather, Col. H. B. Hersey, in charge of the United States weather bureau today gave out the following weather forecast: "Showers at intervals today and probably tonight. Tomorrow unsettled." He declared that there was a prospect that the weather might clear up enough so that the automobile races at the Beverly Hills speedway could be staged in the afternoon, but that was also uncertain. Radium To Keep Men Young, Says Doctor NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—A golden age through radio active matter—real old age, in which muscles will be as strong as Jack Dempsey's at his best, in which bald heads will be no more because there will be a new growth of hair, even at 100, in which an infant of 80 will be teething for the third time; in which the bloom of youth will linger until the age of 120—is the promise of the future held out today by Dr. C. Everett Field of the radium institute. It is based upon discoveries made by Prof. Barton Scain-mel of the British Radium society. Dr. Field, backing up the Scamell hopes and theories, said he thinks another decade will witness human life being vastly prolonged as a matter of course by the use of radium. BUILDING PERMITS TELL STORY ON ANAHEIM'S GROWTH Year 1921 $1,254,375 No. of Permits 862 Year of 1920 879,080 No. of Permits 504 TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR BRIDE SHOT WIFE WOUNDED, HUSBAND MISSING; BLAME VENDETTA LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2—Mary Volpe, 19-year-old bride of a month, mysteriously shot last night, was probably a victim of vendetta, and her husband, Joe Volpe, who was with her when she was wounded, is believed to have been kidnapped by those who did the shooting, police detectives declared today. The girl's husband disappeared when she fell, a bullet wound in her head, and she refused to give detectives details of the shooting. "I felt and hurt myself," was all she would say. Search for Volpe was started immediately after Mrs. Volpe was found by I. F. Danskin on the porch of her home at 1411 East Forty-second street. The Volpes live at 1529 East Forty-second street. Mrs. Volpe's refusal to tell how she was shot caused detectives to believe that she was either trying to shield her husband or was silenced by the fear of a vendetta. The girl and her husband are Italians. The detectives declared that Volpe Search for Volpe was started immediately after Mrs. Volpe was found by I. F. Danskin on the porch of her home at 1411 East Forty-second street. The Volpes live at 1529 East Forty-second street. Mrs. Volpe's refusal to tell how she was shot caused detectives to believe that she was either trying to shield her husband or was silenced by the fear of a vendetta. The girl and her husband are Italians. The detectives declared that Volpe may have been kidnapped by the man who shot his wife and may be held a prisoner. Volpe and his wife had dinner last night at the home of her father, Tony Salo, 2315 Hooper avenue. They left early to return to her home. Danskian, who found the girl on his porch, told the detectives he heard a woman's scream followed by a shot. When he discovered the wounded girl he asked her what had happened. "I fell and hurt myself," was all she would say. The bullet entered the left side of Mrs. Volpe's jaw and emerged at a point over her right ear. The wound was powder burned, showing that the shot was fired from close range. The detectives said that Mrs. Volpe undoubtedly knows who her assailant was. Mrs. Volpe was first taken to the receiving hospital and later to the county hospital, where it was stated she will recover unless complications set in. BOLSA CHICA PLANS DRILLING CAMPAIGN Bolsa Chica announces a brisk drilling campaign, following the bringing in of its No. 2 on Nov. 25th. First, No. 1 will be deepened 700 feet. This will take it into the Huntington Beach deep sand, from which the other speculator giants of that field are drilling. It is estimated that No. 1, now at 3612 feet, can be finished within 60 days, with good luck. Yesterday delivery to the Standard Oil Co.'s pipeline was 3131 bbls, with only seven-tenths of one percent foreign matter. The gravity is 27.1. Arrangements are also being made for setting up the derrick for Well No. 3 on the same tract and with 350 feet of Amalgamated Oil Company's Miley Kock 11 now averaging about 2900 barrels daily. Officers of Bolsa Chica Pet expect No. 2 to net the organization $45,000 in December at the most conservative estimate. SACRED CONCERT AT ZION CHURCH The sacred concert tomorrow will take place at Zion Church. Santa Ana and San Diego high school football teams, old time rivals clashed on the neutral field of Fullerton high this afternoon in the playoff for the So. Cal. football title. There was a large crowd of fans in the stands despite the glowering skies following announcement early today that the game would be played rain or shine. The field was soft, an advantage for the heavier San Diego squad. The lineup: Santa Ana—Gardner, le; Theole, lt; Towsend, lg; Stillena, c; Duncan, rg; Coulson, rt; Coffman, re: Wilcox, (capt.) q; Luck, lh; LeBard, rh; Jabs, fb.

REPORT ADOPTED BY LIONS CLUB Only routine business was transacted at yesterday's Lions Club meeting. The constitution and bylaws were adopted, the report of the Charter Night committee received and H. Patton voted a member. Next Friday the club will visit the Whittler state school for boys. Lotus H., Loudon, who was to have put on a program as chairman of the day postponed it. There was the usual excellent attendance. NOT OFTEN DOES IT HAPPEN THIS WAY! "I think I'll join your church," said J. W. Price, city building inspector, when Rev. J. N. Blakely came into his office today and informed Price that he had found it cost double the $40 originally planned as expenditure on a garage. The original permit being under $50, cost nothing. Whereas the garage cost in excess of $75, and Blakely so informed Price, a second permit costing $1.50 was issued. On the back of the second Price wrote: "Original alteration permit No. 672 was taken out for $40. The cost was found to exceed $75, an additional permit was taken out to cover cost and $1.50 charge made. I don't know, may be I am on earth but I am not sure." SACRED CONCERT AT ZION CHURCH The sacred concert tomorrow evening in the Zion Lutheran church, which will take the place of the regular evening service, is claiming the attention of the music loving public and the attendance promises a capacity house. The program is in charge of G. H. Grefe, director and organist, and will be given in order of the program published yesterday in the Plain Dealer columns. MAN'S LIPS SEALED AS TO WIFE'S FATE NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—Efforts to get a "confession" from Abraham Becker, chauffeur, who has been indicted for the murder of his wife, Mrs. Jennie Becker, failed today. Becker wouldn't say a word. The grand jury charged him with murder in the first degree after Dr. Karl Kennard, assistant medical examiner of Bronx county, testified as to the manner in which Mrs. Becker died. Dr. Kennard said she was slugged and buried alive in a pit beside the garage of Reuben Norkin, Becker's friend. The body was covered with lime. FATHER OF KENNEDY PROTESTS DISMISSAL LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2.—Strenuous protest against the proposed dismissal of the charges against Arthur Burch and Mrs. Madalynne Oberchain, tried for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, was made to District Attorney, Woolwine today by J. D. Kennedy, father of the slain man. Mr. Kennedy asked the district attorney not to free either Burch or Mrs. Oberchain and declared it would be a "crime" to drop the charges against them. BLUNDERS WHY IS THIS WRONG?
