Rouw, whose startling claim that he had seen the burial of Leighton Mount re-opened the whole death inquiry Saturday, sold his silence to the four "pall bearers" for $100, he admitted today, according to Assistant States Attorney Charles S. Wharton of Chicago. Wharton said Rouw told this story: For his silence, the "big fellow among the students who had secreted the body paid $100, demanding a receipt so he could collect from the others. That came after Rouw had seen a party of youths carrying the body of another... approaching... the pier stealthily.

More citrus fruit acreage in Orlando co is infested with mealy bug at the present time than in early summer of any previous year. Between 600 and 600 acres are a prey to this pest, inquiry of C. H. Russell of the County Insectory here showed. Science still is incapable of doing more than keep down this pest in groves which it has entered. Its spread cannot be prevented. The insectery is spending the bulk of its effort against the mealy bug, which has been spread by using commercially clean groves tents use din fumigating unclean groves. New regulations now require tents to be vacuum fumigated before being used in clean groves while pickers' clothes and boxes also are "cleansed." Between 2500 and 3,600 acres of citrus fruit out of a total of 45,000 acres were not fumigated last year, because growers depended upon the aphycus to eliminate black scale, which was a serious mistake. But only one fumigation is necessary after the aphycus has worked thoroughly. More rhizobius has been released the last year than any other parasite. It works on the young black scale. Between July 1, 1922, when the insectory was started, and June 1, this year, 4,835,638 natural enemies of black, red and purple scale and of the mealy bugs have been released. Between the same dates or it 11 months $6,586.00 has been expended, including the cost of building and equipping the laboratory, out of a total of $9,869.26 contributed by the various packing-house associations, having a balance of $3,283.26. All of the Exchange Ass'n's and most of the independent ones contribute to its support. The directors of the Orange-co Pest Control Ass'n', which maintains the laboratory, voted to spend less time on black scale, until some more effective method of biological control is found. Russell declared it was hoped funds might be saved with which to fight new pests that may enter the county or near the Space Dept. of Agr. in obtaining a second foreign collector of parasites on scale and mealy bug. The steel blue lady bug now is being released for the first time in the county by the insectory. It works on both' red and purple scale, which, while not so prevalent as black, can kill a tree much more easily. Excellent results have been obtained with it in the Carpenterry section of Santa Barbara-co. The purple scale is scattered practically all over the Wharton said Rouw told this story: For his silence, the "big fellow among the students who had secreted the body paid $100, demanding a receipt so he could collect from the others.

PLANS TO BROADCAST FROM NORTH POLE (By International News Service) ABOARD THE SCHOONER BOW-DOIN, WISCASSETT, Maine. By radio to International News Service) —That the north pole is within speaking distance of the United States, is the belief expressed by Dr. Donald B. MacMillan, intrepid Article explorer. Dr. MacMillan will sail from this port Saturday to prove his contention. His tiny 88 foot schooner will be fully equipped with high powered wireless apparatus from which he will attempt, on every leg of his journey to send messages of progress back to the States. His message call of "WNP" will be looked for by every radio station. The Bowdoin in the smallest vessel ever used in a polar dash. Dr. MacMillan expects his dash will take 16 months. DECLARE SALOONS WIDE OPEN IN L. A. LOS ANGELEC, June 19.—Making the surprising assertion that Los Angeles is "wide open" and that 1500 saloons as well as numerous gambling den and houses of ill repute are operating under "police protection." Rev. Gustav A. Briegleb and Rev. R: S. Shuler today filed written charges before the police commission and demanded that steps be taken to "clean house" and "clamp the lid" on vice and crime here. Both ministers filed with the commission correspondence they had received from persons interested in the recent demand that Chief of Police L. D. Oaks be ousted by Mayor Cryer. One of the communications, it was claimed, recited that many police officers are being punished for enforcement of the laws by being transferred "to the tullies."

The steel blue lady bug now is being released for the first time in the county by the insecto. It works on both red and purple scale, which, while not so prevalent as black, can kill a tree much more easily. Excellent results have been obtained with it in the Carpenterig section of Santa Barbara-co. The purple scale is scattered practically all over the county, while the red is most prevalent in the Yorba Linda and Tustin viennities. The too stab lady bug beetle, which also works on red and purple scale, is being used more extensively. Several plets have been arranged on which to watch it work. The Lopanthea is a third parasite on both scales that is being used more than ever. The mealy bug in Orange-co is of three kinds, the Citrophilus, the Citrus and the Baker. Their prevalence is in the order named, the Citrophilus being far the most spread out. Usually the mealy bug is prevalent earlier in the year than this. Ranchers are expected to band their trees with burlap, if trees are infested with mealy bug, so as to catch the female when she descends to lay her eggs. The growers are co-operating well, particularly in changing the bands. Natural enemies look after the Citrine and Baker mealy bug much more thoroughly than after the Citrophilus. In regard to the large scale, 11 different secondary are working on the aphid scutellista, its principal feeder quaylea is the chief of these secondary. This with the Eusemion, the other chief secondary, was most responsible in making the aphycus ineffective last winter. When black scale has been cleaned up in groves where red and purple scale also exist, it is possible to time formifications for the latter alone. Many groves would be clean now if they had been fumigated last year. Until a new parasite has been found, the work against the black scale is of doubtful value, says Russell. Mr addition to the State Dept. of Agr., the Federal Dept. has a colleague work in China, trying to obtain parasites for red and purple scale. What bit of poor tennis playing is this girl displaying? The answer will be found among mission correspondence they had received from persons interested in the recent demand that Chief of Police L.D. Oaks be ousted by Mayor Cryer. One of the communications, it was claimed, recited that many police officers are being punished for enforcement of the laws by being transferred "to the tullies." UNSECURED LOANS WRECK LARGE BANK WICHITA, Kansas, June 19.—The trail of a million and one half dollars missing from the bond department of the American State Bank of Wichita is a trail of petroleum. Enterprises of the southwest benefitted to the extent of more than that amount thru the manipulations of Philip A. Drumm, cashier of the bank, recording to bank authorities after a bust examination. Thru this, the institution, second largest bank in the state, and for years regarded as one of the strongest banks in the entire southwest, is wrecked and in the hands of the state banking department. Drumm gave himself up to the county officials and submitted to arrest. He was arranged on a charge of making a false statement to the state banking commissioner last November in connection with the condition of the bank. He pleaded not guilty and gave bond for his appearance. BLUNDERS NO 3rd PARI By International CHICAGO, Ford will NOT Neither will I. no third party popular sentime organization."

WEATHER HELESS FROM ETNA Bare Throats Make Sweeter Dispositions SAN FRANCISCO, June 19—(INS)—Women are sweeter dispositioned than a decade ago because they have adopted low collars, Mme. Berta M. Titus decared today in addressing the University, Fine Arts Club on "The Psychology of Dress." "It is all on account of the bare throats," she said. "These high, tight collars pressed on the thyroid gland, making another pressure on the grain which caused hysteries and 'nerves.'" "I wonder when we can get collars off men?" she inquired. "Freedom of dress for women has come to stay." Mme. Titus decared. "Women should always look well but it is demoralizing for a woman to spend all her money for cothes. We still belong to the 'Make 'En Over' Club'. KIWANIS HEARS OF ATLANTA MEETING LAWYERS JAM COURT FOR H. S. SUIT A. L. Gribling, Original Contractor, Among Important Witnesses Today. Production of A. L. Gribling and other important witnesses was the feature of today's proceedings in superior court in the suits connected with the change of contractor on the KIWANIS HEARS OF ATLANTA MEETING A report on the Atlanta, Ga., annual Kiwania convention by former President Hickson of the Pomona club, who was a delegate, was the feature of today's luncheon meeting of the Kiwanis club in the Elks' clubhouse. The last think Hickson saw of Henry Adams, the local club's delegate, was when the latter with Mrs. Adams was about to take the train for Washington, the speaker declared. Mr. and Mrs. Adams plan to return by way of Canada. The So. Cal. delegates went on a special car, 80-85 of them together, from Los Angeles. They stopped off at Kansas City, Mo., and Memphis, Tenn., on the way. At Memphis they were the guests of the Memphis Kiwanians. Hickson's first impression of Atlanta was the apparent lack of preparations to accommodate the big crowd. But everybody eventually found accommodations, he declared. The Atlantans proved very hospitable and on Memorial Day spent several hours driving the guests about. A barbecue at the Country Club was spolled by rain. Most of the 4,000 guests were present at the time. Rain fell in fact, almost every day they were present, according to Hickson, in contrast to sunny California. Henry M. Adams will tell the full story of the convention when he returns. Homer P. Ames received an extension of a week on his autobiographic talk. Ames has been an attorney at points all the way from British Columbia to Tia Juanna, he said. David Jessurun told of delivering the visitation cup to the Fullerton Kiwanians. The latter, according to an announcement there, will deliver it to the LaHabra club with six delegates from Fullerton accompanying it. President A. R.

OFFICER RELEASED FROM AUTO CHARGE Louis Heffner, county motorcycle officer, arrested by Jake Diest of the Fullerton police department May 29 on the charge of running with a loose spotlight, was brok up before Judge French this morning. But the hearing did not develop, for H. F. Lyon, city attorney, moved that the case be dismissed. Lyon gave no reason for the dismissal other than it would promote harmony between Fullerton and the county seat. Whether this will widen the growing breach which rumor reports between the city authorities and the police department remains to be seen. Rumor has it that the breaking point between Marshall Eells and the city officials is almost reached. Many different things are said to have entered into the controversy, dictation being charged on one side and undue independence on the other. BROKERS SUSPENDED NEW YORK, June 19—(INS)—A. W.

VESUVIUS SHOWS SIGNS OF ACTIVITY Molten River Advancing 25 Yards an Hour, Annihilating Vineyards. BY GUGLIELMO EMANUEL (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) ROME, June 19—With 50,000 persons homeless from the violent eruption of Mount Erna and molten lava Molten River Advancing 25 Yards an Hour, Annihilating Vineyards. BY GUGLIELMO EMANUEL (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) ROME, June 19—With 50,000 persons homeless from the violent eruption of Mount Etna and molten lava continuing, Mount Vesuvius began showing activity today. The town of Giarre at the base of Mount Etna with a population of 17,000, now appears to be doomed. Deep trenches have been dug around the town of Linguaglossa to divert the river of flowing lava. This town was reported destroyed yesterday. The lava from Mount Etna is advancing 25 yards an hour, annihilating vinyards. King Victor Emmanuel and the minister of public works in the Musolint cabinet have left Sicily to assist in relief work. Troops are assisting the people to evacuate. Earth rumbling and loud explosions accompany the eruptions of Etna. Owing to the slow movement of the lava there have been no fatalities (according to information from Messina at noon), but the chief fear now arises from the possibility of earthquakes. Etna is a raging furnace. As the red hot lava streams slowly emerge huge volumes of black smoke and cinders belch skyward obscuring the sun. The noise is as a bombardment of artillery. Tragic scenes mark the country-side about the burning mountain. Despite the apparent safety of Linguaglossa the authorities warned the people to depart and most of them did so. The few that remained, reinforced by hundreds of refugees from the nearby countryside held, religious services in the public square amidst clouds of dust and cinder from the volcano. While the homeless were put at 50,000 early in the day, some reports this afternoon said the number might reach 100,000 before night. Near the base of the volcano semi-darkness prevailed owing to the clouds of smoke which clouded the sun. Crowds of fleeing men and women wandered from the roads and lost themselves in the fields. It is impossible to estimate the financial loss but it will run into millions. Messina, which was destroyed by earthquake 14 years ago, is filling up with fugitives. The local organization of Fascisti is providing food and shelter. LONDON, June 19—Several new flashes have appeared in the crater...
