XXVI—NO. 141 MARTIAL LAW FOR 9 MORE GERMAN CITIES DECLARED PARIS, Jan. 30.—The French foreign office today officially denied a report from Brussels that 20 Germans had been shot in a clash with French troops in the Rhineland. VALENCIA ORANGE SHOW COMMITTEE CONSIDERING SITE Calif. Valencia Orange Show executive committee met at the Elks' Club yesterday and discussed preliminary plans for the 1923 show. The question of a site has not yet been decided. At a meeting of the city council last Thursday night that body offered the executive committee the use of sufficient ground in the new city park to place its tents and amusement ground. This will not impede the progress of carrying out plans for the park as most of the land offered will be finally used for athletic field. No definite decision. BERLIN, Jan. 30.—"Guerrilla warfare without weapons"—German's name for the passive sabotage of the Ruhr—met French coercion in the occupied area at every turn today. The invaders extended the zone of martial law until virtually the entire Ruhr and most of the Rhineland was under military rule. Moors, Homberg and seven other cities were declared in a state of siege. The formal accusation against the deported Germans was "disobedience" but the real reason for their expulsion was their obedience of orders from the Berlin government to give the French no assistance or information. General de Gouette issued the expulsion orders from his headquarters in Düsseldorf. CALIF. Valencia Orange Show executive committee met at the Elks' Club yesterday and discussed preliminary plans for the 1923 show. The question of a site has not yet been decided. At a meeting of the city council last Thursday night that body offered the executive committee the use of sufficient ground in the new city park to place its tents and amusement ground. This will not impede the progress of carrying out plans for the park as most of the land offered will be finally used for athletic field. No definite decision has yet been reached as to this site, although it is probable it will be accepted. It is the purpose of Chairman Herman Stern to carry on the 1923 show at a considerable lessened cost than that of last year and the executive committee will meet again tomorrow at 12:45 at the C. of C. to draw up a tentative budget. Chairman Hugh Grant of the finance committee of the show has submitted a scale of figures on which it is hoped this year's undertaking can be run. Certificates to take the place of the old certificates now held by persons who loaned money to the previous shows have been obtained by the finance committee, and the issuing of these will begin at once. This year's finance committee is in the field for $5000 with which to launch the Third Annual California Valencia Orange Show, and already very satisfactory returns have been reported by Mr. Grant's committee which is composed of Mossrs Oscar Heying, Gus Theodore, J. P. Sebastian, E. M. Chambers. OPEN SEASON UPON STRAY DOGS TODAY Today was the open season on Gray dogs in Orange county. The anti-rabies crusade was responsible. In Anaheim only one dog had been killed today by the local police. City Marshal N. F. Steadman said. A white mongrel which had been camping out on Dr. Herbert Johnston's premises on East Broadway was slain. A man just in from Garden Grove told Sheriff Sam Jernigan's aides that 17 dogs had been shot in Garden Grove and vicinity today. This report could not be confirmed, however in Garden Grove. Two or three days were slain, the on Saturday. All told, up to an early hour this afternoon, eight or more dogs had been killed in Northern Orange co. District Attorney A. P. Nelson appeared today before the Board of Supervisors and suggested an ordinance requiring vaccination with dog vaccine of all dogs in the county. The board refused to hear of it and took no action, because of the expense, estimated at $4 per animal. The matter is not likely to go any further, the county treasury already being too much depleted. The invaders extended the zone of martial law until virtually the entire Ruhr and most of the Rhineland was under military rule. Moers, Homberg and seven other cities were declared in a state of siege. The formal accusation against the deported Germans was "disobedience" but the real reason for their expulsion was their obedience of orders from the Berlin government to give the French no assistance or information. General de Gouette issued the expulsion orders from his headquarters in Dusseldorf. BEST RANCH EGGS DROP FIVE CENTS In the last week the best ranch eggs have taken a drop of five cents to 40 cents per dozen, potatoes have declined from $1.75 per hundred-weight to $1.55 and sugar from $7.75 to $7.50. The figures are those of G. E. Kitchen, Center-t grocer. Los Angeles Produce Exchange prices were: Fresh extras 36c, case counts 34½, pullets 32. Egg prices are erratic, depending upon the weather, altho prices reach bottom along about April 15 or May 1, when laying is at its height and the wholesalers haven't quite begun to buy for storage purposes. Potatoes are probably about as low as they will go, says Kitchen. Sugar is likely to reach its lowest mark in April. Coffee the past week has risen from 42 to 44 cents for the best popular brands; ham from 28 to 30 cents per pound; and onions from five to 7-1-2 cents. This year has been no repetition of the onion corner of a year or two ago, when prices reached unprecedented heights. JAZZ MUSIC MOST PRIMITIVE FORM Jazz is the most primitive form of music. It appeals to the feet, rather than the head. This is what Rev. A. G. H. Bode, rector of St Michael's P. E. Church, told an interested audience of Kiwanis at their weekly lunchon meeting today in the Elks Clubhouse. The minister, who is himself an accomplished amateur musician, illustrated his talk with the piano. He advised each of his hearers to saturate himself in good music. One reason, he said, that minister's sons often became good musicians was that they heard good music so much, he declared. Music had developed, said the speaker, from rhythm, such as that made by beating on a hollow log, down thru the intricacies of modern melody. Several ministers were present, including Reverends Gott, pastor of the new Calvary Baptist Church; Geisinger, of the White Temple; and CITRUS OUT ANAHEIM WILL BE Valencias average in the Anaheim time last year.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 30.-Five million dollars have been asked in bills presented to the California legislature relating to highway construction, according to Dr. C. G. H. Douglas, chairman of the assembly roads and highways commission. Of this sum perhaps one-tenth is sought by Southern California, there being only two major proposals. One is by Assemblyman Chester M. Kline of San Jacinto, who asks $250,000 for completion of the Blythe-Mecca route from the Colorado river to articles leading into Los Angeles. He also has drafted a bill seeking to designate the four miles between Blythe and the Ehrenburg ferry as "state highway." This particular stretch includes a dyke and will be an expensive acquisition on the part of the state. At the same time it will lift a burden from Riverside county which already has spent vast sums for the benefit of interstate motorists.

The forecast issued by Col. H. B. Hersey, in charge, was: "Generally cloudy tonight and Wednesday, with probably showers tonight." Los Angeles received a downpour of .61 for the past 24 hours and for the storm. This is a season total of 5.92, compared with 12.89 for last year. This year's rains have been more even and thus more beneficial to the country, according to Colonel Hersey. CITRUS OUTPUT OF ANAHEIM DISTRICT WILL BE ENLARGED Valencias average even now larger in the Anaheim district than at any time last year. So we can safely conclude that the average will be considerably larger than a year ago. Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n., the author of this information, exhibited advertising copy of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, showing that the latter will feature the fact of the larger sizes this year. Sandilands' estimate at the beginning of the season was for 2650 cars for the entire district, including oranges bought by cash purchasers and shipped from Fullerton, Orange, Olive, etc. This estimate will have to be revised upward, he said, but how much he is uncertain, of course, because weather conditions still may intervene. Last year new estimates were always lower than those previously. The first picking will prove the best index of the size of the crop and of the oranges. Valencia trees are a month ahead of last year, however. The new growth shows that the roots have begun to feed, and the use of fertilizer is recommended as soon as the first dry period comes. BURNED TO DEATH IN BEACH CITY HOME LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30.—Wrapped in flames by a violent explosion that aroused scores of persons from their sleep, Mrs. M. P.

Death, however, already had overtaken her.

CITY PROMISES TO TRANSFER REFUSE TO IMPROVE LEVEE The city has agreed not only to abandon its 10-acre dump in the sandwash near the Santa Ana river and use the space between the new dyke and piling for its dump, but has promised to transfer the refuse already accumulated to the new site. So declares a member of the Anaheim Flood Control Committee. The latter announced further that a meeting was planned for next week Wednesday when the project of an all-day picnic and barbecue in the near future, with volunteers invited to aid in the job of moving the refuse, will be discussed.
