ALLEN AGAIN WILL DECORATE SHOW Carrying out its purpose to found all decorative impulses of the Third Annual California Valencia Orange Show upon the Egyptian motif, the executive committee after three meetings on this important phase of the show, yesterday entrusted the decorations to P. G. Allen, whose sketches include promise of the finest decorative scheme ever seen in California and that is saying a good deal. The scheme, while purely Egyptian in every line, does not tend to signalize in any way the recent discovery by Lord Carnarvon in that uncleant country. In fact no reference in decorations is made to Tutankhamen. The decorative features include panel in water colors running clear around the racks on all sides which depict in allegorical form the history of the Egyption nation. The overhead work will be done in typical units following with great fidelity the motive treatment of Egyptian design and eight highly illuminated settings, including one central unit 25 feet in diameter will give the overhead lighting, assisted by 20 units, hiding 1000 watt lamps with reflectors. Eight immense cloth harves 125 feet in length each and embellished with heiroglyphics, will relieve the dull canvas and transform the whole citrus department into a remblance of the splendor of the old Egyptian temple. The poster adopted by the show is from the hands of K. L. McClellan, who lives just outside of Anaheim and is with the Wayne Goble Co. of Santa Ana. The colors are pastels, relieved by green and dark Miller discovered the two young Mexicans attempting to crawl thru the fence that divides the two countries.

BLACKHAND Buildings Wrecked by Explosion of Bombs Thrown Early Today (By International News Service) CHICAGO, April 10—Two men are dead and a third believed dying here as a result of bombings and shootings early today, which police attribute to blackhanders. Stanley O. King, musician, was killed instantly by a bomb thrown from a moving auto at a building owned by Manano Zangora, and which fell short of its mark. King, on his way home from a theater, was nearly decapitated. Joseph Polumbo, 46, a street sweeper, was shot and killed a few minutes after he left his home for work. The killing occurred only one block from the notorious "death corner" scene of many murders. As usual, none living near by would give police any information. John Tarurski, 36, night employee in a garage, is not expected to survive wounds inflicted by two men when Tarurski refused to sell them gasoline after the gas pump had been locked for the night. A few moments after the explosion of the bomb which killed King, another bomb was exploded in a nearby neighborhood. A two story brick residence, occupied by several families, was partially destroyed and occupants hurled from their beds. None was injured. A third bomb explosion damaged the butcher shop of Vita Buccola, the third time it has been bombed in a year. Buccola and his family were thrown from their beds, but none injured. None of the building owners could explain the bombings. Police, however, attribute them to the shooting of an alleged bomb maker a year ago which resulted in the trivial of Fred "Frenchy" Mader, formerly Labor leader, and John Miller. Today's bomb victims were believed by the bombers, police say, to have been implicated in the shooting, and the explosions were the result of a desire for revenge.

Mrs. Lottie E. Morse and son, John, reached home yesterday afternoon after a six months' tour of the world, sailing west from San Francisco and returning via the Mediterranean and New York. They arrived in Egypt just when the famous Tut-ankh-Amen tomb was being opened, and saw Lord Carnavon, the noted archaeologist, who has since been claimed by death. They also saw Queen Maule of Belgium. They saw the tomb of the Pharaoh, which has since been closed. Tut-ankh-Amen was then said to be the most talked of man in the world, much more so than in his own day. In the first part of his reign he was hated by the Egyptians, especially the preludehood, because of the religious reformation of his father, Amienotep IV, who discarded the worship of the various Egyptian dieties and called on the nation to worship one god. Aten the sun-god of the Syrians, and moved the capital from Thebes to Tell-El-Amarna. His vast correspondence, now discovered and translated, throws a flood of light upon the Egyptian history of that period, and is especially interesting, since it shows how the way was paved by a nation-wide re-action against the worship of one god for the severe oppression of the children of Israel by the kings of the 19th dynasty. Tut-ankh-Amen, at first continued the worship of the god of his father, his own name being at the time, Tut-ankh-Aten, but he was soon forced to restore the worship of the Egyptian dieties, move the capital back to Thebes, and change the last part of his name to Amen in honor of the principal Thebian god. Mrs. Morse and her son enjoyed the trip immensely and brot back many souvenirs of Egypt and other places, but Mrs. Morse said the sweetest sight that greeted their eyes was when their train pulled in at the old home town yesterday afternoon. Dr. and Mrs. William Wickett are making a thorough tour of Europe and will probably not be home for time, she said. The Wickettts left on the same ship on which Mrs. Morse sailed.
