WEATHER Fair, moderately warm tonight and Sunday COUNTY DEMAND California Fruit Exchange S LONDON PAYS BIG PRICES FOR FRUIT Every Available Market Will Be Pushed to Limit This Year Export trade in citrus fruit will be pushed to the limit, it was decided this week by Cal. HERRICK VISITS PREMIER POINCARE PARIS, Nov. 3.—Myron T. Herrick, American minister to France, and Lord Crewe, the British Ambassador, called upon Premiere Poincare at the foreign office this afternoon. The visits were separate. It was understood that Lord Crewe, acting upon instructions from London, urged M. Poincare to relax at least some of the conditions imposed by France for the conference of reparations experts. Mr. Herrick's call was considered a personal one. In the absence of official information, foreign office officials refused to comment upon the displeasure shown by the United States government over the limitations imposed upon the proposed conference by France. 1,660 ATTEND YOUTHS I POWDER C IN JURE Robert Menzie, 1 Homer Chandle Hurt From B Robert Menzie, 14, bert M. Menzie, local b hurriably blasted about t Every Available Market Will Be Pushed to Limit This Year Export trade in citrus fruit will be pushed to the limit, it was decided this week by Cal. Fruit Exchange directors, Charles Eygabroad, Anaheim member of the board announced today. This decision was reached in view of the big crop on the trees and the success of export business this year. The export committee this week reported a profit of $3829.70 over and above the American market price on 45 car loads of citrus fruit, mostly valenclas, shipped to London this year. It will be remembered that Anaheim shipped some of this fruit. Regarded as an experiment and to guard against loss to individual shippers, the Exchange bought the fruit at the market price, agreeing to spread the loss or profit over the entire Exchange. There was no loss but a nice profit with the added advantage that this amount of fruit was taken out of the American market, says Eygabroad. "Next season we plan to ship considerably more fruit to England as prospects are that the purchasing power will be better there next year," continues Eygabroad. "The ocean freight rate from San Pedro is less than the rail freight rate from Anaheim to New York. The fruit was landed in Loudon in fine shape, commanding a premium over the less choice fruit from Sicily, So. Africa and Australia. "The Exchange will also try out all other possible foreign markets in view of the big crop to be marketed. In that connection, however, it should be said that the Exchange believes the new crop estimate of Nov. 1 will show something like a 10 pct decrease from earlier bumper reports. There isn't so much fruit on the inside of the tree as some have thought. "We see nothing to make the orange grower down-hearted. With the exception of the exclusively wheat growing districts, the purchasing power of the entire United States is much better than a year ago, particularly in the cotton country." There will be no noticeable tightening up in this sector save that wild speculation and wild-cattling will be frowned upon. And that will be a mighty good thing as it is estimated Ann. Anaheim granmar school board this afternoon formally canvassed results of last Saturday's $110,000 school bond election. The very favorable results will be reported at once to county supervisors who will immediately advertise for sale of bonds to be consummated within 30 days. School trustees have not determined on purchase of site for proposed 12-room building. It is planned to have all grades in the new building up to the sixth. The seventh and eighth grades remain at the Intermediate school. Anaheim school attendance is going straight up, the enrollment records today showing a total of 1660 compared with 1494 on the opening day less than two months ago. The high mark last year never reached 1560. Supt. C. C. Smith today estimated the high mark, which comes after Christmas, will go over 1750. Arrival of tourists in midwinter is responsible for a rush on the schools in January and February. Up to last year a slight decrease has been noted as spring arrives in the east, drawing tourists. Last winter, there was no such decline in attendance. REALTORS STUDY MULTIPLE LISTING Several members of the Anaheim Realty Board went to Santa Ana last night to hear H. E. Nightingale, director of the Southwest Realty Board of Los Angeles, who explained the multifaceted nature of their work. "We see nothing to make the orange grower down-hearted. With the exception of the exclusively wheat growing districts, the purchasing power of the entire United States is much better than a year ago, particularly in the cotton country. "There will be no noticeable 'tightening up' in this section save that wild speculation and wild-cattling will be frowned upon. And that will be a mighty good thing as it is estimated Ana heimers have thrown away $2,000,000 on wild speculations in the last two years." BREAK JAIL AND LYNCH PRISONER MUSKOGEE, Okla., Nov. 3—Eleven masked men overpowered guards in McIntosh co. jail at Eufaula, south of here, early today, seized Dallas Sowell, accused of attacking a woman, and lynched him, according to word received here. Telephone wires leading to this city were cut by the lynchers, forestalling pursuit. Sowell's body was found hanging in a barn near Eufaula by officers who followed the lynching party. Sowell recently was returned to Eufaula after having escaped from the Sheriff M. B. Moore, while being taken from Muskogee to Eufaula for preliminary hearing. Previously he had been brot here for safekeeping when it was feared mob violence against him would precipitate martial law in McIntosh co. In his flight Sowell stole motor cars at Okemah and Hobart, Okla., authorities said. He was finally captured in the Texas panhandle and returned to Eufaula on the supposition that the danger of mob violence had passed. The masks worn by members of the mob were of various types. Plain Dealer Aos Always Bring Results REALTORS STUDY MULTIPLE LISTING Several members of the Anaheim Realty Board went to Santa Ana last night to hear H. E. Nightingale, director of the Southwest Realty Board of Los Angeles, who explained the multiple listing system to the Santa Ana realtor at a meeting at Owens Cafe on West Fourth Street, Santa Ana. He said that the multiple system is a great convenience both to the public and to realtors, a copy of an exclusive listing going within 36 hours to office of every member of the association. In his board, he said, five percent of the gross commission goes to the central office, one third of the remaining to the listing broker and two-thirds to the self-broker. He said his board had worked 100 per cent under this system for nearly three years, and found it satisfactory. He answered a great many questions in a satisfactory manner. The Santa Ana board appointed a committee to work out plans for a similar system. Mr. Nightingale is scheduled to speak in Anaheim Nov. 14. Local realtors attending were: J. C. Idlor, Walter Ross, Jake Schunacker, Everett Bennia, W. B. Allen, W. J. Ellott, and E. C. Rundstrom. LOCAL MAN IS CRITICALLY ILL Friends of J. B. DeWitt, who has been in Orange county hospital for 4-1-2 years, with paralysis, will be sorry to hear of his condition being considerably worse.

For U.S., England NEW YORK, Nov. 3—David Lloyd George went home today, leaving as his last message for America a plea for British-American union in the present world crisis. Just before the Majestic was pulled out from its dock, the war-time British premier predicted that the United States and England—"pulling together"—could force France to a settlement on reparations. "France would have become a vassal state if it had not been for what America and England did in the war," the fiery little Welshman declared. "If England and the United States get together and reach an agreement, France will have to yield." YALE SNOWS UNDER ARMYBY-31-10 Crowd of 80,000 Fills Great Bowl At New Haven By DAVIS J. WALSH I. N.

Menzie, local barber, was horribly blasted about the face today, and Homer Chandler, 15, was slightly blasted and knocked down when a can of powder exploded on a ranch at Chapman-ave, corner of Raymond, early this afternoon. It was a one-half gallon can marked "varnish" on the outside. Menzie threw it down and hurled a stick after it. The stick apparently caused the explosion. Melvin Chandler, 17, a brother of the other lad, was with the party, but escaped. According to Menzie's story, he tried to pour out the powder which was of the kind used in blasting. Dr. J. W. Truxaw attended Menzie. The boy's face was honeycombed with powder, his lips swollen, and eyes partly closed. Plans were laid to have him taken for a time to the county hospital. Officers Nickels and McCoy found the remains of a can of glycerine and T. N. T., which they are confident caused the explosion. The boys are said to have found the can in a vacant lot, and to have thrown it into a well. They then threw a stick into the well, which striking the can caused it to explode, sending the flames more than 100 feet up the tunnel of the well into their faces. The lid of the can still containing enough T. N. T. and glycerine, if properly confined, to blow up a safe or two, was brot to police station, and W. B. Moody, chief of police, not liking to have it around the office announced his intention of locking it up in the city jail. "And you may tell 'em," he added, "that there's some bootlegged in there just about as strong or stronger than this." MRS. STOKES SICK NEW YORK. Nov. 3.—Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes, pretty tilt-in-tail-haired defendant in the sensational divorce suit brot by her 73-year-old millionaire husband, William Earl Dodge Stokes, was in bed today under the care of a physician. Yesterday Mrs. Stokes underwent several hours of severe cross examination and left the stand suffering from grippe. Her trial will be resumed Monday. ZEV BEATEN BY FOUR LENGTHS LATONIA, Ky., Nov. 3.—The great Zev, international champion, has fallen at last. Not My Own, but a comparative outsider, In Memorian, humbled the Sinclair colt, leading him under the wire in the Latonna championship this afternoon by four lengths, after a gruelling struggle. My Own, Adaialta Grayson's great colt, unleashed this year, was never in the lead. One of those Ohio river mists came down from the Kentucky hills an hour before post time. In Memoriam took a short lead going away from the barrier but Zev overhauled him in the first half mile. My Own was third, running easily. Starting the final three-quarters, My Own made a bid for the lead, and for a time threatened. He could not reach In Memorium nor Zev. Going down the back stretch, it looked as if the race was at Zev's mercy, but going around the far turn Garner began his great ride on In Memorium. At the mile and a half past he had the stout lay son of McGee almost up to even terme-Straightened out for the run home. In Memorium came with a burst of speed and half way to the finish was on even terms with Zev. In the last furlong Zev seemed to tire badly, while In Memorium came stronger and stronger.

WALSH I. N. S. Sports Editor YALE BOWL, NEW HAVEN, Nov. 3.—Yale football team reminiscent of the salad days of Ted Coy romped blithethly thrue Army to a 31 to 10 decision this afternoon before a highly gratified crowd of eighty thousand. The gratification, however, did not extend to the north stand where a gray-clad section of cadets sat in mute wonder as they watched their team crack wide open after leading at half time, ten to seven. The first half was all Army then came touchdown by Smythe, the Army quarterback, who clutched a punt on his own 31 yard line and stepped back 69 yards for a score thru the entire Yale team, twice reversing his field. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 3.—Before a billowing crowd of 80-000 rising sheer against the azure skyline, Yale took issue with the Army this afternoon in a game that had a ponderous bearing on the ultimate disposal of eastern football championship. Given a perfect day, such as November seldom knows, for a background, the affair proceeded from climax to climax with the easy gesture of a master thesplan, the entrance of the entire cadet corps within the overflowing bowl fur-nishing the first of a long series of thrills. Mulligan, of the Army, kicked off to Mallory who returned to the 27 yard line. Army was off side and suffered a five yard penalty, giving Yale first down on the 32 yard line. Pond plunged two yards and Neale added two. Yale was penalized five yards for off side. Wood and Smythe were stopped in attempts at the line and Wood punted to Richeson on Yale's seven yard line. Pond hit right tackle to Richeson on Yale's yard线. Pond hit right tackle for four yards since the army lost five more on an airside penalty. Pond was injured but resumed play. Neale drove a long punt to Smythe on the Army's 46 yard line. A brilliant forward pass, Smythe to Ives, gained another first down on the 33 yard line. Smythe skirred right end for 13 yards and Ives and Glimore added six more. Garbisch then was sent back Football R Finals Illinois, 7; Chicago Stanford Fresh, Obispo Poly, 0; Stanford Grays, 7.

SWEDISH CROWN PRINCE MARRIED LONDON, Nov. 3.—In the presence of a brilliant array of royalty including the kings of England and Sweden, Crown Prince Gustaf Adolph of Sweden, was married to Lady Louise Mountbatten, a member of the English royal family, in the chapel of St. James palace at 2:30 this afternoon. The British had insisted that the wedding be conducted with the utmost simplicity, declaring the memory of the war's hardships was too fresh in mind for luxurious display and rejoicing. Besides King George and Queen Mary there were present the Prince of Wales, the Princess Mary, Viscountess LasCalles, the Duke and Duches of York, Dowager Queen Alexandria, and three generations of Swedish royalty. This was the Swedish crown prince's second marriage. His first wife, the Princess Margaret of Connaught, died in 1929 leaving four sons. Prince Wilhelm was the best man, and the bride was given away by her brother, Lord Louis Mountbatten. Many ambassadors and cabinet ministers were present, but, owing to the smallness of the chapel many friends of the bride and groom were unable to attend. The Archbishop of Canterbury officiated, assisted by several other prelates.

BANDITS QUARREL OVER MONEY SPLIT LOS ANGELES, Nov. 3.—Arrest of the second of the two bandits who Thursday held up and robbed the Owensmouth bank was expected today by the sheriff's office, who awaited word from Yuma, where other officers were rushed to apprehend the fugitive. Joseph Dickerson, held in the county jail on a robbery charge has confessed, the officers say, that he was one of the bandits, and that he was to meet his companion, E. D. Eucher, at a designated time and place in Yuma. A quarrel over division of the money obtained in the robbery led to Dickerson's confession, the officers stated, who arrested Dickerson in a downtown hotel, recovering $530 of the bank's money. NOTE FOUR QUAKES VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 3.—Four earthquakes have been recorded on the Gonzales Observatory seismograph within 24 hours. The first one at 1:23 o'clock yesterday afternoon was severe, lasting for four hours and being as heavy as that recorded here at the time of the Japanese disaster. The center of the disturbance is placed at 5600 miles from here, probably in Guam. At 9:12 o'clock last night a second disturbance started which lasted for one hour. It was impossible to estimate the distance. The third tremor started at midnight and continued for four hours. It was placed at 1300 miles away, either in Alaska or southern California. The fourth disturbance, lasting two hours reached the seismograph at 8:41 o'clock this morning. It was indefinite and impossible to tell its origin. LOCATE SEVERAL MURDER SUSPECTS VENTURA, Nov. 3.—With the location of several suspects, at least one arrest was expected to be made today by authorities in the investigation of the murder of a man identified as Carter Singh, paymaster of a gang of Hindus working on the Virginia tract, near Oxnard. The man was beaten to death with a large rock and a hammer, according to the officers' theory who believe Singh was murdered in a robbery plot, as he is known to have carried approximately $800 in cash on his person. The money was missing when the crime was discovered, though a watch and $150 were found on County Hospital Full, Claim Norwalk Cannot Turn Back Patients Orange-co.'s Superior Court again may be the focus of legal attention in the state as it was when the test case was tried regarding O.K. Carr, former special investigator of the district attorney's office, whose salary warrant was not honored until a special court decision had been handed down, declaring that he was not an additional deputy or the like. This time is the matter of whether the State Hospital for the Insane has the right to turn back insane from this and other counties when it gets crowded. This practice has been going on for months, and many of the counties in the state are suffering from the practice of the Norwalk or other institution. The Orange-co Hospital didn't mind at first, but recently it has also been crammed, and today again every bed was filled. Asked what the position of the District Attorney's office in the matter was, a deputy declared today that it regarded the State Hospital as acting without legal warrant, and added that a test case probably would be taken to superior court to thrash out the difficulty. HOLD 2 SUSPECTS OF BELL MURDER LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2.—Two men said to have been identified as members of a gang implicated in the brutal murder of Coleman Stone. Bell merchant, several nights ago, in his store, were reported to have been arrested today and the capture of the two remaining men, including the slayer, was expected at Santa Ana, according to the police. All the men implicated in the crime are negroes, the officers said. What Sheriff Sam Jernigan described today as "the biggest drugnet that's ever been in the county", consisting of Los Angeles detectives aided by county and city police," was spread last night in an effort to catch the two young negroes who on Tuesday night murdered Coleman Stone, 65, a grocer of Bell. Franklin Van Meter, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Van Meter, and a carrier for the Plain Dealer, fell this morning from a tree, but fortunately received only minor injuries, so far as known at present. The boy, after the fashion of a real young American, was climbing the tree and had reached a height of between 30 and 40 feet, when he lost his footing. The fall was broken, however, by a large limb which saved him from broken bones. He was resting comfortably this afternoon, but will not be on his route before early in the coming week. J. C. PERVINE DIES AT FAMILY HOME James C. Pervine, 63, passed away suddenly this morning at 8:30 at the family home, 322 S. Kroeger-st.

Jolley, were today free of charges that they had flogged Frank Sanceri after he was accused by 14-year-old Astrea Jolley of being one of several men who attacked her. A jury found the men not guilty after an hour and a half. Sanceri was acquitted of the charge of attacking the girl by a jury in the same court last week. BAVARIA TODAY SENDS ULTIMATUM BERLIN, Nov. 3.—Bavaria today sent an ultimatum to Chancellor Stresemann, declaring that it will give marching orders to the Bavarian troops concentrated on the Thuringian frontier unless a dictatorship similar to that prevailing in Bavaria is proclaimed throughout the entire state. FULLERTON MEETS PASADENA TODAY Fullerton H. S. first team met Pasadena first team on the Fullerton gridiron this afternoon. The Fullerton team is said to be in better trim now than when they were recently defeated by San Diego. CHARGE RECKLESS DRIVING Frederick Maison was arrested today by O. R. Baxter on the charge of reckless driving, and entered a plea of not guilty. His hearing was set for 10 o'clock. All the men implicated in the crime are negroes, the officers said. What Sheriff Sam Jernigan described today as "the biggest drugnet that's ever been in the county", consisting of Los Angeles detectives aided by county and city police, was spread last night in an effort to catch the two young negroes who on Tuesday night murdered Coleman Stone, 65, a grocer of Bell.
