THINK CRISIS PASSED IN BIG PLANT PRE-CLEAN PLANT New System Icing "Ho San Be WAS SAVED Escapes with Holes in Hull After Caroming Three Times From Reef. NORTH ISLAND, SAN DIEGO, Oct. 1.—Disobeying instructions of his squadron flagship which would have thrown his vessel to the left and almost immediately upon the rocks, Commander W. P. Gaddis of the Somers sheered his ship out of formation and to the clear sea at the right, thereby escaping with holes in her hull after caroming 3 times from as many rocks, he testified before the court of naval inquiry here today. Commander Gaddis declared he is of the opinion that the much discussed radio compass bearing received by the flagship Delphy ten minutes before the crash which led the squadron to believe they were south of Point Arguello was intended for squadron 10 of the destroyer group which was one hour ahead of the 11 squadron. A private scrutiny of the Arguello log book and quizzing of various raid operators concerned, he said, confirmed him in this belief. Commander Richard K. Booth of the Chauceury, the last of the 13 defendants to testify, declared he could have saved his ship had he been quickly informed that the seven destroyers adhead of him were run-in ashore. "I believed there had been a collision forward in the line," he said. "The left turn order confirmed this belief, and I reduced speed two thirds and sought to slide along side of the halting column, while at the same time keeping clear of the racing ships astern. "Had the Delphy informed us she was around, I would have reversed my engines full speed and, I am confident, saved my ship." The defendant officers finished their testimony at noon and judge advocate Bratton announced that the court would, this afternoon recommence the presentation of its testimony.

PERMITS LAST MONTH $212,611 Total Soon Over $2,000,000 With Contract Let For Six-Story Building. PLANT OPEN New System Saves Delay in Icing "Hot Fruit" at San Bernardino. The new $150,000 pre-cooling plant, which has just been completed by the Placentia Orange Growers' association, was put in full operation today after more than 100 tons of ice had been stored in the huge storage plant ready for ice carloads or citrus fruit before being shipped to markets in the east. It is believed that this new system will be a large improvement over the old method, which compelled the shipment of "hot" fruit to San Bernardino, where fruit was often delayed in the ice process. The Placentia plant is the only one in this district. A similar plant, however, is located at Orange and another at La Verne, and the Placentia association is building another at its packing house in Fullerton. The structure located here is of reinforced concrete, and the lining of the storage plant is composed of cork one foot thick. From the parking house the fruit is conveyed to the pre-cooling plant, which provides three rooms of six-car capacity each and three rooms with a storage capacity of 25 cars each. The rooms are dark and are cooled with the cold-air blasts from an immense blower. The temperature of these rooms is kept at 34 degrees continually. When the fruit is loaded into the cars, which are already leased with three and a half tons in each bunker, the oranges are at a very few degrees above freezing point. Under the old method the fruit was sometimes held for a whole week without refrigeration. Ample provision has been made for loading the fruit and ice by the installation of the latest improved conveyors, which may be adjusted to any position. An important unit of the new plant is the fireproof pump room, with an electrically-driven motor over the 300-foot well. A new method control automatically fills the big 800-barrel tank when the water reaches a certain low level. A high-pressure pump also has been installed, and a pressure of 125 pounds is assured in case of fire. The output of the ice plant has already reached 30 tons a day. The brine tank contains 348 cans, each of which turns out a 300-pound cake of ice. The ammonia condenser and water cooler are located on the roof of the plant. ANAHEIM BAND HAS GREAT PICNIC "Men and women went," said O. N. Brower, manager of the big annual picnic of the Anaheim Municipal band held yesterday in Orange park, and the reporter looked astonished, for nobody could imagine men and women crying at a picnic. But it was this way: Four young men, Melvin Pipier, Laurence Tozler, Cecil Tozlor and Carl Mohr, were each given a baby's bottle containing a half pint of milk and bidden to drink it. The fellows were game and took to their task just as they did in the days of long ago, and that race caused spectators to weep with laughter. Another lively contest was the 50-yard dash for the ladies, in which Mrs. J. H. Heyne won a valuable gold ring.

Anaheim will soon pass the two-million mark, J. W. Price, city building inspector, estimates, since a contract has been let to Wilson and Bever for the $300,000 six-story American Savings Bank building at Claudina and Center streets, to be erected by Samuel Kraemer. Contract will also be let shortly for a large block to be erected at Center and Clementine streets by John Cassou.
