With orange prices still gradually rising, and shipments of valencias fending larger, the supply of refrigerator cars of the Pacific Fruit Express available is considerably greater than a month ago, G. W. Sandilands, manager of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Am'n, said today. The So. Pac. and Union Pac. have gotten back cars congested in the east, and have stored them by hundreds and thousands, awaiting demands of fruit shippers, Sandilands declared. COWLES WILL BUILD PRIVATE HOSPITAL Permits covering improvements valued at more than $25,000 have been taken out with E. S. Richman. Pullerton building inspector, within the last two years.

Ofstle t T-S single seater With orange prices still gradually rising, and shipments of valencias fending larger, the supply of refrigerator cars of the Pacific Fruit Express available is considerably greater than a month ago. G. W. Sandilands, manager of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ams'n, said today. The So. Pac. and Union Pac. have goffeen back cars congested in the east, and have stored them by hundreds and thousands, awaiting demands of fruit shippers. Sandilands declared. At the same time, with a shortage existing season after season, it cannot be predicted what the situation will be at the height of activity. Between 6,000 and 7,000 more reefers are available than a year ago. This, it is understood, does not include new cars that the Santa Fe may have. Regarding the peculiar green spot at the steam end of fruit this season, Sandilands, admitting that he had seen nothing like it at this time of year in all the 30 years of his experience, said that in his opinion, the condition would right itself within the next couple of months. Various houses are sweating fruit to bring out the color, the same as with lemons, but this is not desirable. The oranges are as good ever, but consumers buy very largely from appearance. Sandilands cannot altogether explain the freak. Undoubtedly, however, the trees were "thrown out of balance" by the cold weather of January, 1921, he declared, and the comparatively mild past winter also was a factor. A winter which is as cold as can be without the trees actually suffering is best to color valencias. Many trees have been observed with oranges the size of a pen and of a walnut growing together, showing that there have been successive blooms, instead of the normal single bloom. SEEK GIRL BANDIT WHO SHOT RICH MAN (By International News Service) CHICAGO, June 6.—An intensive search was on today through fashionable north side suburbs and in other sections of this city for a slender girl bandit who calmly shot and killed Richard C. Tosmer, wealthy insurance man, late last night while her "sheik" companion rifled his pockets and robbed Mrs. Tosmer. The bandit pair obtained only $10. As the shot startled Tosmer's young daughter, who was in the Tosmer home near where the holdup took place, the girl and her companion leaped into Tosmer's automobile and fled. The car was found later. EYES OF EASTERNERS RIO-VISTA PAVING BIDS ARE OPENED Plans for a factory turning out hardwood products were briefly outlined yesterday before the board of supervisors by A. S. Bradford of Placentia who said the concern wanted 25 or 30 acres at Newport harbor. It owns its own timber. It desires to locate at the harbor on the ground that Los Angeles harbor is too much congested. Bradford and the harbor commission today attended the meeting of the Rotary Club of Santa Ana. The board decided to apply for membership in the Boulder Dam Ass'n. A bid of 22.7 cents per square foot was received from the Griffin Co. of Los Angeles to pave with asphalt concrete Rio Vista streets between the Olive road and the East Anaheim road, 3300 linear feet 18 feet wide. The matter was put over for one week. OKLA. MAN TESTIFIES FOR CROKER WIDOW DUBLIN, June 6.—Eugene Atkins of Oklahoma testified in behalf of Mrs. Beula Edmonson Croker in the will contest suit brought by Richard Croker's children by a previous marriage. Atkins said Beulah was at Muskogee in 1912 at the time she was alleged to have been in the vicinity of Northampton, Mass. Attorney Lardner, opening the case for Richard Croker, Jr., one of the contestants, described the will left by the Elder Croker as "totally unnatural." He admitted Croker's pen had signed the testament, adding: "But it was the mind of Mrs. Beulah Croker that dictated the terms." REBELLLOUS MOORS ATTACK SPANIARDS MADRID, June 6.—Four hundred Spanish soldiers were killed in battle with 7000 rebellious Moors, who attacked a Spanish column near Tiziassa in Morocco, said an official dispatch from Mellilla today.

Schur Establishes New Mark For Seaplane Today. SAN DIEGO, June 6.—At 1:15 this afternoon Lieut. Schur had been aloft 8 hours and 20 minutes and had covered 875 kilometers, or nearly 500 miles. He was breaking the world's duration and distance records for seaplanes at every lap. Four other seaplanes still were in the air at this hour, each of them establishing new world's records for carrying weights ranging from 250 to 1000 kilograms. Lieut. Ofstle took up a substitute T-S single seater and failed by the GERMANS MUST QUIT PASSIVE OPPOSITION BRUSSELS, June 6.—France and Belgium today decided not to examine the German reparations proposals until the Germans cease their passive resistance against Franco-Belgian occupation of the Ruhr, said an official communication this afternoon. It was the first session of the French delegates, headed by Premier Poincare, with the Belgian envoys, headed by Premier Theunis. It was decided to announce the severity of Franco-Belgian pressure against Germany. Earlier in the day it had been reported that the French and Belgian delegates would review the proposals made by the Germans in the latest reparations note. BIG CROWD EXPECTED AT OPENING 15 SHRINERS INJURED IN WRECK Electric Car Side-Swiped Enroute To Mount Vernon Today. WASHINGTON, June 6.—Between 15 and 20 visiting Shriners here for the convention were injured this afternoon when the electric car in which they were enroute to Mount Vernon was sideswiped by another car on an adjoining track near Riverside.

Schur had been aloft 8 hours and 20 minutes and had covered 875 kilometers, or nearly 500 miles. He was breaking the world's duration and distance records for seaplanes at every lap. Four other seaplanes still were in the air at this hour, each of them establishing new world's records for carrying weights ranging from 250 to 1000 kilograms. Lieut. Oistle took up a substitute T-S single seater and failed by the scant margin of 1 minute 57 second to break the speed record for 100 kilometers. He is expected to try again tomorrow. The world's duration and distance records hung up at Naples, Italy, last August 12, by Captain Baird of the British Royal Flying Corps, were greatly exceeded by Lieutenant M. A. Schur. Commander R. A. Burg, commandant of the naval air station, declared his belief in Schur's ability to keep the huge 2-T-7 in the air for at least 13 hours, and until the distance mark for seaplanes has been advanced to well over a thousand miles. The tests are being carried on under the rules and regulations of the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, the organization being represented here by Howard E. Morin so that in case new records are established they will have official and world-wide recognition. Lieut. M. Schur was first to take the air shortly before daybreak, striving for speed records for 1,000 and 1500 kilometers and will thereafter, if still aloft, throttle down and try for the duration record. AMERICAN LEGION OPENING SUCCESS Thanks to the co-operation of the Women's Auxiliary, members of Anaheim Post of the American Legion did themselves proud last night at a banquet celebrating the opening of new and cozy quarters in the basement of the new city hall.

NEW REPARATIONS OFFER IS RECEIVED BOUND WITH WIRE AND LASHED Girl's Alleged Assailant Left Unconscious on Top of Hollywood Mountain LOS ANGELES, June 6.—An angry mob of men, kidnapped Frank Sanceris, 20, from his home in East 52nd-st early today and took him to the top of Hollywood Mountain where they erected a pole, tied their victim to it and lashed him with wire until he fainted from pain. The men then pinned a note to the unconscious youth's body, explaining they had taken the action because NEW REPARATIONS OFFER IS RECEIVED (By Frank E. Mason) BRUSSELS, June 6 — Germany's new reparations offer of 1,500,000 gold marks annually was received here today as the Franco-Belgian conference opened. Premier Poincare arrived from Paris early in the afternoon. He was accompanied by Minister of Finance De Lastyrie, General De Gouttee, commander in chief of the French army of occupation in Germany; M. Tirard, French high commissioner in the Rhineland; Minister of Public Works Le Trocqcer and a few others. Immediately after his arrival, Poincare proceeded to the Belgian foreign office where he met Premier Theunis and Foreign Minister Jaspar. From Belgian official sources, it was learned that the discussions would include the following: First, Ruhr administration, bookkeeping and ways of forcing miners to return to work to replenish the diminishing coal stocks. Second, Belgian reparations plan. Third, suggestion that international companies exploit German tobacco, alcohol, sugar and match monopolies; reparations commission to take a quarter share in German corporations. Fourth, Germany's latest reparations proposals. Fifth, Belgium will attempt to persuade France to send minimum reparations demands to Rome and London, proposing an international conference with England and Italy to study the German note. Sixth, advisability of sending a united allied reply instead of separate answer to Germany. It is understood Premier Poincare will insist that Belgium oppose England's demand for a League of Nations investigation of the French administration in the Saar Basin. "BREATHING SPELL" BERLIN, June 6 — The New German reparations note, which has just been addressed to the allied capital, does not ask for a moratorium, but suggests a "breathing spell" before payments begin. It was learned this afternoon. German officials described the note as "brief and clear." It made no mention of passive resistance, nor did it mention a specific sum. It is understood the failure to request a moratorium was due to the conviction that the French will stay in the Ruhr until the per- of Hollywood Mountain LOS ANGELES, June 6 — An angry mob of men, kidnapped Frank Sanceris, 20, from his home in East 52nd-st early today and took him to the top of Hollywood Mountain where they erected a pole, tied their victim to it and lashed him with wire until he fainted from pain. The men then pinned a note to the unconscious youth's body, explaining they had taken the action because they believed him guilty of an attack upon a young Long Beach girl. Sanceris did not regain consciousness until long after dawn when he locked himself from his bonds and reported to the police. He claimed he identified one of the men as the father of the Long Beach girl, Astra M. Jolley. Miss Jolley was kidnapped several weeks ago by six men and taken to a lonely hut where she was mistreated. Sanceris was later arrested but was released on bail. Three men called at the home of Sanceris' brother and said they wanted to "speak with Frank." He appeared and the men asked him to accompany them. The cars proceeded to Hollywood Mountain where the gang erected the pole. In the meantime Sanceris said he was continually berated for his alleged attack upon the Jolley girl, despite his attempts to explain he was innocent of the charge. Several men seized him and bound him with wire to the heavy post. Sanceris said. One man struck him in the face with his first while another hit him over the head with the butt of a revolver. Several others beat him with short pieces of wire cable which was sprayed at the end. Sanceris was treated at the receiving hospital today and is said to be in a serious condition. "Slick - haired, perfume-drinking, drunken fiends who haunt public dance halls and skulk through dark streets for girl victims," were warned to obey the law in the statement planned to Sanceris' clothing, which was headed "Oath of allegiance to American womanhood." NEW WAY TO STOCK SERVICE STATION M. Chaus had a way of his own to stock his service station on Sunset Blvd., Los Angeles. He called on other service stations and helped himself to what he needed in the way of tires, tubes and accessories. The Blue and Gold Station near Fullerton was one of them, and $75 worth of both were found, 29 tires and 20 tubes. Today Chaus has a charge of grand larceny against him, L. D. Secret of the station being his particular vic- "BREATHING SPELL" BERLIN, June 6.—The New German reparations note, which has just been addressed to the allied capital, does not ask for a moratorium, but suggests a "breathing spell" before payments begin. It was learned this afternoon. German officials described the note as "brief and clear." It made no mention of passive resistance, nor did it mention a specific sum. It is understood the failure to request a moratorium was due to the conviction that the French will stay in the Ruhr until the period of time for payments has elapsed. The communication avoided controversial issues. It was explained in official circles that the government did not mention an enlarged figure because it wants to escape the accusation that this is the last offer, or that Germany is insincere. The amount Germany can pay left to an international commission of experts. Demand was made that Germany have equal representation on this commission. The note was largely an amplification and explanation of the preceding reparations note. DEDICATE ORANGE H. S. PIPE ORGAN Dedication of Orange school's $15,000 pipe organ will be held Friday evening under the auspices of the American Guild of organists.
