ASKS $25,000 in P. E.-AUTO CRASH Suit for $25,000 was filed today by James W. Fields, a pipe fitter's helper, for injuries alleged to have been suffered when he was run down at the Garden Grove crossing of the Pacific Electric by a train on July 16. Fields alleges that he received personal injuries warranting damages to the amount mentioned. He declares also that his car was wrecked. His right limb was permanently injured and crippled, he says, and his right arm, hip and back "greatly and grievously injured," and probably permanently so. Wages of $5 per day, lost while incapacitated from work at his trade, are included in the damages sought. Fields declares his machine was being operated in a careful and proper manner, contrary to the way in which the Pacific Electric train car was operated. The Southern Pacific Co., owner of the Pacific Electric is the defendant actually named in the complaint. —Buy In Anaheim— William Samuelson left yesterday over the U.

Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Nov. 16. — King George prorogued parliament today expressing regret that the efforts to collaborate with the United States for a settlement of the reparations problem had failed. In his message proroguing parliament, King George said: "My government recently initiated negotiations aiming at the appointment, with collaboration of the United States, of a commission of inquiry to determine Germany's capacity to pay reparations." "Unfortunately it has not been possible to secure the assent of the French government to those proposals, which, it had been hoped, would lead to a solution of the reparations problem." The royal message said the British government was giving close consideration to the serious situation which has arisen in Germany. It expressed gratitude over the Lausanne (Turkish) treaty which will be laid before parliament as soon as possible. Negotiations are proceeding with the United States for a settlement of the difficulties with regard to the carrying of liquor in transit and illicit transportation to the United States. The king expressed sympathy for Japan on account of the recent earthquake and fire. He lauded the work of the British imperial conference, which "devoted particular attention to the promotion of trade and a settlement with the empire upon which the well-being of my people so largely depended." The message concluded: "The position of agriculture and problem of unemployment continue to cause me deep anxiety. Despite all efforts of my government to stimulate trade and alleviate distress, the circumstances of a large number of our fellow citizens still remain deplorable. My ministers are convinced that, unless measures for safeguarding..." I'm one RADIO FAN that never shivers!
