U.S. WASHES HA ADMIRAL VOWS GUNS TAKEN BY FORCE Denies Receiving Pay for $20,000 Arms Taken by Chinese (By International News Service) MANILA, July 13.—Admiral Stark, commander of the Russian "White Fleet" and leader of the band of refugees that fled Vladivortok before the approaching "Reds" today denied charges of gun running to China rebels. Sec'y Denby Would Stop Desertions WASHINGTON, July 13.—Alarmed by the large number of men who are deserting from the naval service, Secretary of the Navy Denby this afternoon ordered all commanding officers, both ashore and afloat, to take immediate steps to break up this practice. Denby suggested that this be accomplished, not only by punishing deserters more severely, but by making the naval service more pleasant for the enlisted men. ALASKA NEEDS CAPITAL FOR Denies Receiving Pay for $20,000 Arms Taken by Chinese (By International News Service) MANILA, July 13.—Admiral Stark, commander of the Russian "White Fleet" and leader of the band of refugees that fled Vladivoztok before the approaching "Reds" today denied charges of gun running to China rebels. He declared that he possessed receipts from the Chinese naval commander at Woosung who confiscated the guns on orders from Peking, and that the Chinese authorities threatened to allow refugees to starve unless handed the guns, consisting of 1,000 rifles and 12 quick fireers valued at $20,000. "Neither I nor any Russian received one cent from the guns as far as I know," Stark declared. Stark and other Russian officers appeared to have plenty of money previous to the Merritt's departure with the bulk of the refugees for the United States and since then have been living well. A dozen mutineers sent to Nilibid prison by Governor Wood at Stark's request several months ago declare Stark had bees "holding out" on them. There is a prevalent opinion locally that Admiral Stark imposed upon the Washington authorities who sent the refugees to the United States at government expense as he apparently is well supplied with funds. SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.—All but 21 of the Russian refugees who arrived on the Transport Merritt from Manila probably will be admitted to the United States as immigrants. The 21 will be deported. One is mentally incompetent and the others are officially described as not coming up to immigration standards. However, it is understood that they are believed to be Bolsheviks who joined the refugees in the hope of entering the United States in that manner.

ALASKA NEEDS CAPITAL FOR GROWTH President Goes to Interior; Hears of Conflicting Requirements (By George R. Holmes) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) ABOARD U. S. S. HENDERSON WITH PRESIDENT HARDING IN ALASKA, July 13.—President Harding is not finding any ready made solution for Alaska's numerous problems. The president came to the northern territory hopeful of finding an unified sentiment on the part of Alaskans themselves as to what is wanted in the way of remedial legislative and administrative relief at Washington but the week spent in cruising through southeastern Alaska where the chief industries are located has failed to reveal any such unity of Alaskan thoat. The various interests which make up industrial and business Alaska—principally the fisheries and lumber industry—are conflicting in their wants. Generally speaking these interests want lesser restrictions in operations but opposed to them is a body of Alaskan public sentiment not in favor of giving big business too free a hand in exploiting the territory's unrivaled natural resources. Apparently the only thing on which there is unanimity of sentiment is that Alaska needs developing of industry and capital should be attracted here but how it is to be accomplished is a matter on which there is little agreement. President Harding's first week in Alaska put him in every town of any importance south of Seward and he has seen and conversed with scores of persons interested in informing him of "what's wrong with Alaska." Having visited all of the principal parts of the southeastern Alaska seaboard including the capital city, President Harding starts today for the interior where he will spend a week.

Mrs. Oesterreich in hysterical denials still persisted today that she knew nothing of the crime, that she had done nothing for which she was sorry, and denied stories told the officers by two men that she had asked them to dispose of two revolvers which she is supposed to have had in her possession since the commission of the crime. The revolvers were recovered by two men for the police. The officers reconstructed the entire case today and went back over the stories told by Mrs. Ostereich and her neighbors at the time Oesterlich was shot by alleged burglars who he discovered in his home in North Andrews Blvd. last August.

EATHER FAIR, MODERATELY WARM TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. PRICE 2 CENTS RATIONS MIXUP Even Governor Not Exempt From Jinx LOS ANGELES, July 13.—Old Man Jinx, his face wreathed in smiles at the results of his Friday the thirteenth activities, gazed aimlessly down at Southern California from his perch on a green-gray cloud. Suddenly he was all attention. The smile gave way to a broad grin—the kind of grin which tabby gives when a mouse pokes his head speculatively from a hole in the floor. Governor Friend W. Richardson was chugging along the Long Beach-Los Angeles road. Ah Ha! croaked Mr. Jinx making a few mystic passes with his hands. Without further ado, the Richardson equipage stopped with a series of dry coughs indicative of an arid gas tank. Opposite the car, a modest sign gave forth the information "Gasoline, One Mile Back." SHOWS APATHY TO PREMIERS DRAFT England 'Accepts Statement But Finds Omissions In Detail PARIS, July 13.—The United States government, thru diplomatic channels, today informed France that it "is not connected with the present reparations negotiations in London." GRAIN FARMER TO GROW LESS WHEAT Farm Bloc Leader 'Advises Other Crops Till Price Recovers (By Senator Arthur Capper, Leader Senate-Farm Bloc) (Written Exclusively for International News Service) (Copyright 1923 by International News Service) A national commodity wheat association owned by growers may be one result of the present low price for the grain bread crop. The movement of men from the farms to the cities which is perhaps three times above normal this year, also probably will increase. The folks who remain in the open fields will go into diversified farming to a greater degree. These are the more evident fundamental changes which are coming. And there are many more. The cost of growing the wheat crop of 1922 in Kansas was $1.36 a bushel. It is likely that it is fully as high this year and it may be more. If it cost that this year, it is easy to see that if the wheat crop is sold at present prices, 70 to 80 cents a bushel, with a yield of less than 100,000,000 bushels in Kansas we have lost $50,000,000 dollars or more on the crop. Most farmers who can afford it will hold their wheat for the recovery of market prices. Producers already in co-operative associations will be able to benefit in a wheat holding campaign from the offices of the organizer. England 'Accepts Statement But Finds Omissions In Detail PARIS, July 13.—The United States government, through diplomatic channels, today informed France that it "is not connected with the present reparations negotiations in London." Premier Polincare positively refused to refer the reparations settlement to the League of Nations. LONDON, July 13.—General approval but a noticeable lack of enthusiasm marked the reaction today to Premier Baldwin's statement of the British reparations policy. Approval comes from the fact that England has at last made a move. The lack of enthusiasm is due to the uncertainty as to what the move constitutes. Dissatisfaction is expressed in two quarters. Lord Rothme's papers express displeasure that the premier did not castigate Germany. The Liberal press is displeased because it sees in the statement only the continued dragging out of negotiations with France. It is expected—the British note to be submitted to the allies will suggest an international economic conference whose function would be to discuss the inter-alled debts which Baldwin says is one of the causes of unrest. The United States undoubtedly will receive a "copy" of the British note. The London press is predicting American participation at least unofficially in the discussions. He Daily Mail, says Thomas Lamont, American financier, who is now in London, is likely to be the United States representative. EXPLAINS USE OF SCHOOL BOND ISSUE "A campaign is being made to acquaint the people of Fullerton with the purpose of the new grammar school bond issue to be voted on July 25. The greater part of the money is to be used for the purchase of the site, erection and furnishings of the new building, and the remainder to defray expenses of enlarging the Ford avenue building," said G. W. Finch of the grammar school board, today. Mr. Finch says the new school building, to be known as the South Side Grammar school, will be erected on So. Harvard-ave between Maple and Ash-sta. The site will cost $31,000, the building $85,000, and the Four others rest at seven semi-annually the Edens interest at 2 last. Anked because to haveerty, Eisenen' fees, and premises in Most farmers who can afford it will hold their wheat for the recovery of market prices. Producers already in co-operative associations will be able to benefit in a wheat holding campaign from the offices of the organization, being able to borrow thru the power of co-operative efforts. It is to be hoped that the growers will never again see such a serious market condition. But we cannot raise a huge surplus of wheat in America in competition with cheap foreign labor and get fair prices for it. The acreage must be reduced; I think it will show the greatest drop this fall which the country has ever seen. Then if a great co-operative commodity marketing association is formed the growers will at least have more protection from discouraging market conditions than they have now. I believe that some of the great fundamental changes will come, for this crop has been disappointing from an income standpoint for the last four years; the average farm price in Kansas was $1.85 in 1920—and it was producer at peak costs—96 cents in 1921, 90 cents in 1922 and 70 to 80 cents now, depending on the quality and location. We must grow less wheat and more of the products for which the markets of the world are willing to pay higher prices. DYNAMITE HOME OF INSURGENT LEADER PITTSTON, Pa., July 13. Four homes in this city, one of them that of Alex Campbell, leader of the insurgent element of the United Mine Workers of America here were dynamited in Pittston within 15 minutes, starting at 2 o'clock this morning. Front porches were blown to bits, furniture wrecked and persons thrown from their beds but no one was injured. MAKES NO PROTEST The Graham Loftis Oil company will not protest the valuation set upon its property by the county assessor, according to word from the Board of Equalization today. The company had threatened to protest. Mr. Finch says the new school building, to be known as the South Side Grammar school, will be erected on So. Harvard-ave between Maple and Ash-sts. The site will cost $31,000, the building $85,000, and the furniture $12,000. The remainder will go to the Ford-ave building, where the addition will be ready by the opening of the fall term September 1, he said. He expects the new building on So. Harvard-ave to be ready for occupancy by opening of the spring term. he grammar school enrollment at the opening of the fall term this year is expected to be 1,500, 200 more than at the closing of the term in June. This will be the greatest congestion that has ever confronted the schools of the city. The grammar school faculty for the coming term has been increased to 60, 12 more teachers than were used last term. BLUNDERS Is this woman packing her t as it should be?
