Blizzard Ties up Traffic in Omaha OMAHA, Neb., March 15.—Thousands of workers bucked snow drifts waist deep today when a blizzard completely tied up street car traffic and other means of transportation. For the first time in 20 years not a wheel turned on Omaha streets. Stalled automobiles lined the middle of streets. The blizzard was general throughout this section. A high wind drifted the snow 8 to 10 feet deep. Trains on all roads were hours late. Many ROYAL WOMAN SEMETIC B PLEASING His confession was made to the police accidentally, when they put handcuffs on him to take him to Santa Ana. They asked him if he had ever worn handcuffs before. He replied that he had once. He was asked what for. He replied for arson. Then he "opened up" and confessed the whole thing. He said that he had escaped from San Quentin in 1916, and had until the present time kept out of the clutches of the law. But now he was down and out, without friends and without money, and he decided to confess it. He was taken on to Santa Ana, and the prison officials have been notified. He is growing old, and tired of dodging officers. James Martesion and Joseph Keirch were arraigned before Judge OMAHA, Neb., March 15.—Thousands of workers bucked snow drifts waist deep today when a blizzard completely tied up street car traffic and other means of transportation.

A high wind drifted the snow 8 to 10 feet deep. Trains on all roads were hours late. Many were annulled. SANITARY DISTRICT IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT TYPHOID Incorporated or formation of sanitary districts are the only alternatives before Orange-do communities, outside of Anaheim, Fullerton Santa Ana and Orange, if they expect to prevent typhoid, dysentery and other diseases due to impure water, Dr. W. Leland Mitchell, county health officer, said today. Dr. Mitchell's work in encouraging the formation of the districts is progressing. The four principal cities will be linked up in one outfall sewer, which, according to Dr. Mitchell, is built to accommodate demands for 40 years hence. According to F. W. Goudy, State Veterinary engineer, who made an invention, Brea offers the most serious problem perhaps in the county. Brea is unincorporated, has no sewers and must dig down as feet to reach sand for cesspools. Goudy, who recently forwarded his findings to Mitchell, recommends incorporation for Laguna Beach, which is planning to lay out another sanitary district not stretching to such anordinate length along the shore line, and then build a sewer. Goudy also favors incorporation of La Habra, but sentiment in favor of that appears not to have developed there very strongly as yet. The Placentia and Yorba Linda chambers of commerce or boards of trade favor sanitary districts, the former very strongy, and the former appears likely to follow Capistrano in the formation of one. Buena Park appears to want a district, but the project has not yet gathered strong headway. JOHN FISHER BUYS NO. L. A.

Goodcell announced that his office with the full force of the bureau on hand will be open until midnight tonight. All returns must be made by that time, the collector stated, or the penalty for the tardy ones will be made. Thirty-one thousand taxpayers have filed their returns this week and about 12,000 are expected to visit the office by midnight. WIND DOES LITTLE PRINCESS RAIZE HAIDER PRINCESS PORTRAYS SYRIA-PALESTINE LIFE AND HISTORY Inspired with a longing for her native land and fired with the hope that some day its ancient glories may be revived, Princess Rahme Haider descendant of Senitic royalty last night in her lecture before a most appreciative audience in the First Presbyterian church, spoke of the eridition and religious knowledge which have come out of her country for many centuries. Choosing as her subject, "Glimpses of Palestine" Princess Rahma vividly portrayed the land of her birth. She tolde of her education at the American colleges at Belrut and Sidon and later in America. My motive in appearing here tonight," she said, "is to give the people a clearer and broader knowledge of the land of Syria and its people. It is strange that so few seem to realize that Syria and Palestine are the same. It is hard to imagine what a tiny country Syria really is, yet there is no section of the globe of its size which has made a more glorious history or left a more profound impression upon the hearts and minds of all people than Palestine. Princess Haider drew an interesting word picture of the Holy Land, dwelling upon its scenery, climate, productiveness and people. She corrected numerous false impressions that are current as to the Syria of today which have been created by the tourist who has made only a hurried trip through the country and does not come into the real life of the country. The beauty of grandeur of Net Lebanon from whose top the entire and may be seen, was told of at length by the princess. It seems almost incredible the princess observed that so small a country has played such an important part in the fortunes and affairs of the human race. No other country save Egypt, she said, had given as much to civilization as Syia, but it's decay was attributed to the long Turkish occupation. Princess Rahme was assisted by her companion, Miss Lucille Burgess, who added much to the interest of the lecture by her clever insight. Fear Revolution in Soviet Domain as Red Troops Desert BERLIN, March 15.—Reports reaching here from Moscow are to the effect that a triumvirate composed of Rykoff, Kameneff and Krasin, has taken over control of the Russian government. Official announcement of the new government has been withheld from the Russian populace temporarily because of the fear of revolutionary outbreaks. Reports received here from Moscow state that Premier Lenine's physicians have given up hope of his recovery and his death is only a matter of days. Trotzky is also reported to be in a precarious condition and unable to leave his bed despite frantic appeals that he review the troops in order to alay the apprehension of those who believe the soviet government will pass with the death of Lenine. Revolutions are said to have broken out in both north and south Russia and several regiments of Red troops are said to have joined the revolt. Soviet troops have been massed in Moscow and Petrograd prepared for any emergency that may follow the death of Lenine. STEWART FRUIT CO. PAYING FOR NAVELS Stewart Fruit Co. is this week making payment in full for navels shipped in February from its Anaheim house. This fruit nets the grower $1.70 a packed box for all grades, delivered at the packing house. This price is equivalent to over $2.50 100 pounds, and, like this company's settlement for January navel shipments, made several weeks ago, averaging $1.66 a box on the tree for all grades and sizes, is around $0c per ewt. more than cash prices prevailing at time fruit was shipped. Stewart Fruit Co.'s season average on valencian shipped from the local house last year was $4.30 a packed box for all grades and sizes, and all sizes, including 420's were packed. Mr. Johnston states that the Stewart company already have several hundred acres under contract to handle the coming season in this district and on the strength of the above averages for both valencias and navels, he expects the Anaheim house to have the busiest season in its history the coming summer. MAN INJURED WHEN THE CARS WERE DUMPED WIND DOES LITTLE DAMAGE TO FRUIT Damage to citrus fruit from the wind varies according to locality, managers of local packing house associations said today. Manager W. H. Schureman said: "There is bound to be some damage, but how much is uncertain". In the immediate vicinity of Anaheim Schureman thinks there is very little damage. The loss if any will be small, in the opinion of Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Assn." There is no more fruit on the ground than there would have been in any case, Sandilands said, the reason being that the fruit is not growing heavily in clusters. With a large crop as in 1921 the story would be different. Manager J. H. Ritchie of the Anaheim Cooperative Orange Assn could not be reached, but his assistant said that the loss as yet was small, if there was any. Between Ontario and Riverside stages have been seriously interfered with, Manager Schureman said, and damage to fruit might be considerable.

OPPOSE STATE LAW PRESCRIBING LOAD OF MOTOR TRUCKS State laws prescribing uniform maximum weights for loads on highways, and not leaving the counties the privilege of reducing such maxima where they see fit, is opposed by Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson, who said today that varying conditions made such a rigid law unwise. Such legislation is said to be pending a Sacramento. "Take the Huntington Beach road for example," said Nelson, "where the concrete has been made practically 10 inches thick by its surfacing. This road or section of road would support weights of perhaps 50,000 pounds, whereas other roads would not hold anything like so much, even in proportion to thickness of paving material." Nelson's statement is in line with one which he made previously, to the effect that he favored if anything a lower maximum than the 22,800 pounds for truck and load or 36,000 for truck and trailer with loads on which Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego-co.'s are agreed. ORANGE-CO'S MILK SUPPLY IMPROVES The bacterial count of Orange-co's milk is declining, and the milk generally is better than ever before, according to Dr. W. Leland Mitchell, county health officer.
