VALENCIAS START SOON; SHIP LAST OF MISCELLANEOUS The last car of miscellaneous varieties of oranges was shipped today from the Anaheim district. The shipper was the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Association and the Southern Pacific handled the fruit. So far in March this road alone has handled 36 cars of oranges. Other houses finished earlier, the Anaheim Cooperative shipping its final carload on Monday. This district will begin shipping valencias early in April. It is understood that this applies to all houses. The southern half of By law, city council must approve plats within three miles of the city limits. This would be done to insure straight streets and lots of desirable sizes. It would mean considerable engineering and that owners of small and odd-shaped tracts would have to get together. Last night the matter was brought to attention of council on an application of H. G. Buck who recently purchased acreage on south side of East Center street east of East street. He wants to plat it and will give a street thrue the middle from Center street to what would be an extension of Broadway.

The shipper was the Anaheom Orange and Lemon Association and the Southern Pacific handled the fruit. So far in March this road alone has handled 36 cars of oranges. Other houses finished earlier, the Anaheim Cooperative shipping its final carload on Monday. This district will begin shipping valencias early in April. It is understood that this applies to all houses. The southern half of the county, however, probably will not ship until late next month. It is usually later than the northern section. L. D. Palmer, in fact, manager of the Orange County Fruit Exchange, thru which the members of the California Fruit Growers Exchange market their fruit, mentioned early May as a possibility. The announcement of such early shipments of the main Anaheim variety will cause some surprise, owing to Palmer's statement. It is too early to discuss prices, managers say. COUNTY OFFICALS APPROVE JURY BILL Announcement of the passage yesterday by the State Senate of the three-fourths jury bill was read with much interest by Orange county officials. Deputy District Attorney C. N. Morley voiced his approval of the measure, provided crimes carrying the death penalty were not included, and Justice J. R. Cox spoke the same way. The bill provides that a three-fourths vote of the jury is sufficient for conviction in cases not carrying the death penalty, whereas now any disagreement, even on the part of a single juror means a mistrial. At the same time, Morley declared that Orange county had had comparatively few mistrials the last year or so. The bill now goes to the Assembly. Passage by both houses is necessary before the bill can be voted upon by a referendum by the electrorate. The vote is necessary because a constitutional amendment is now sought.

MOVIE STUNT MAN ARRAIGNED AGAIN Jim Alamo, alias Jim Davis, was given his second arraignment today, the charge being a felony carrying a maximum penalty of 50 years in the prison.

Attorney Clyde Bishop is handling his case for him. Alamo indicated in court that he had available the other $2,000 demanded as ball. While retaining much of his sang froid, the Angeleno looked uneasy, and had none of the flashy appearance of other days. Dressed in his usual business suit, the accused man sat beside his attorney, ready to cooperate with him. His examination was marked by a tilt between Attorney Bishop and Deputy Sheriff Jesse Elliot regarding the facts. A Santa Ana girl is involved in the case.

A. Water Revenue LOS ANGELES, Mar. 23.—Revenues of the city water department will drop from $4,000,000 per year to $600,000, if the ruling of Superior Judge Elliott Craig, compelling the city to make a combination irrigation and domestic rate stand, according to a starling statement made by the Chief Engineer William Mulbolland of the water department today. The department could not operate, Mr. Mulholland declared, if it had to suffer such a loss in revenue. The sum of $600,000, he declared, would amount to only half the yearly interest and principal payments on water bonds. Judge Craig's decision was given in a case in which the Los Angeles Country club was plaintiff. It objected to paying a domestic rate for water used to irrigate its golf course and demanded a combination irrigation and domestic rate.

BANDITS FORCE MAN TO REMOVE CLOTHES LOS ANGELES, March 23.—Holding up Jose Rosales of 720 Brookside at the points of pistols, three unmasked bandits forced their victim to go behind a signboard at Ord and New High-ats shortly before 5 o'clock this morning, where they robbed him of his watch and $8 in cash, and then made him take off his clothes. When Rosales had taken off everything except his underwear, at the command of the bandits, and stood shivering in the chill air a living imitation of "September Morn," the Wm. Woody Will Succeed Marshal Who Retires Due To Ill-Health Frank N. Steadman, for almost 22 years in the service of Anaheim, today handed over the city marshal's duties to Bert Moody, altho the resignation is not officially effective until April 1. City council accepted his resignation last night and named Moody. Steadman has been indisposed for several months and has been desirous of giving up the office for some time. Steadman has been longer in the service of Anaheim than any other man in the city and has seen it grow from a mere collection of houses to the second city of Orange county. Steadman came to Anaheim 31 years ago when it was little more than a way statied in the desert, obtained a place as city policeman, and served as such for 18 years. He then left the service for ten years, four of which he spent on a homestead "about ten miles from anywhere." to use has own expression. In June 1919 he accepted the position as city marshal, succeeding A. W. Wood, which position he resigned last night to enter a quiet, retired life at his home on East Broadway. Before coming to Anaheim he had served four years in police work in Oregon. He was born and brought up at Bonaparte, Van Buren county, Iowa, noted as the only city of that name in the United States. Steadman said this morning that when he came to Anaheim it had no cement sidewalks and that the streets were covered with straw and refuse. Altho he served as policeman during the stormiest period of Anaheim's history, he never fired a gun at but one man; that was Bill Davis who, after being placed under arrest at Columbia Garden years ago, broke away and ran. He fired at him twice, and was afterwards told that both shots took effect, one grazing the car and the other the body. Asked if he had ever been shot at, he said not that he knew of; that if he had he would possibly have been running yet. Anaheim friends consider the city is losing one of its most faithful public servants, and members of the police force say they are losing a most beloved chief. Bert Moody, who succeeds as city marshal, has been in the service of Anaheim since January 1920, and had formerly served as policeman at San Diego and Long Beach. He says that there will be no change in the policy of the police department, and added that if he could "fill the bill" just nearly as well as Mr. Steadman he would consider himself fortunate. He says he has no appointments to announce yet. BALBOA WOMAN IS HELD AND RED HOT MASH CONFISCATED Caught with a quantity of red hair mash and home brew hard at work.
