WOMAN DIED OF CRAS INJURIES Two Other Persons Succumb From Of Sunday Accid One is dead and two critically injured as the r FOUND 'Seven Gallons Too Much Even When Santa Ana Wind is Blowing' Gale Smith, said to be a real Tennessee moonshiner, went to jail for 500 days today after pleading guilty to a charge of having liquor in his possession. Deputy Sheriff G. E. McLellan told Judge John B. Cox, who imposed sentence, that the officers had found seven gallons of moonshine and nine barrels of masa on Smith's premises in the sand belt near Westminster. "The sand and the dry winds might make about two gallons of booze excusable," said McLelland. "But seven gallons is too much even when the Santa Ana winds are blowing." Judge Cox thought so too and as Smith could not pay $500 fine, he went to jail. These bootleggers are worse than the Apache Indiana," said Judge Cox. "At least, the Indians did not poison the water." W. J. Blesner, Anna St. Clair and Grip Beach, pleaded not guilty to a charge of having liquor in their possession. Their cases were set for trial Jan. 8 of next year and admitted to bail in the sum of $300. Blesner at first pleaded guilty but told Judge Cox that the liquor found on his place was not in his possession but was two feet off his property line. He said he pleaded guilty to get rid of the case. "You can't compromise the case that way," said the judge and ordered the plea of guilty withdrawn and "not guilty" substituted. KNIFE STUCK IN RIBS OF MEXICAN Palman Esquiber is languishing in the city bastile and Encarnicon Hermenez is being sought by the local police as the result of a fight last night in the Mexican district near the local sugar factory, in which Luis Mijer was stuck between his ribs with a knife and another Mexican was hit with a club.

This resulted in a fight with unhappy co-worker Mijer.

Air station lookouts watching the planes said that the "JN" training plane was returning northward to the North Island field from a trial flight and the Vought combat plane was hurtling thru the air at high speed southward on a radio test. Neither pilot saw the other plane until the instant of the crash, it was believed. The right wing of the speed plane struck squarely the left wing of the training plane. The striking wings were ripped from the planes as they had been made of paper, and the unbalanced craft, carried on by their high velocity, careened in wide areas toward the ground, the remaining wings serving as rudders to drive the plummet-like motors and fusillage broadside into Spanish Bight. The descending plung of each plane was on a perfect curve line of continuation from the straight line of flight, the left-right direction not being changed by the instant ripping off of the wings. This resulted in the planes landing half mile apart. The training ship buried itself in soft silt and three feet of water while the combat plane smashed on hard mud. F. E. Entwistley and W. B. Jackson, aviation chief machinists mates in the training plane were declared to have been drowned, their injuries due to the impact Two Other Persons Succumb From Re-Of Sunday Accid One is dead and two critically injured as the rafter a collision involving three at Lincoln avenue and Park road yesterday afte about 2 o'clock.

TO PRODUCE EXTRACTS ON BIG SCALE Production of flavoring extracts by the California Fruit Juice Co., this season will be on a much larger scale than ever. Manager B. S. Drake indicated today. The company's representative now is in the East, taking orders for the extracts and valina, pure orange juice, and lemon juice, and the factory will undoubtedly be kept busy from the middle of March on. Only 1500 cases of valna were carried over from last season and this will hardly suffice to fill orders until the factory resumes. The factory would be in operation now, were it not for the impossibility of getting cull oranges, except at top prices, Drake declared. Discussing the question of developing the fertilizer end of the industry, Drake said nothing would be done this season. As for cattle feed, experiments of U. of C. experts proved not long ago that feed from orange peel after extraction of the juice and oil, is thoroly practicable. For 90 days this product was fed to a drove of 300 or 400 cattle on a big dairy ranch near Whittier, and the latter thrived on this fare. The experiments appeared to prove that richer butter fat resulted. FULLERTON BLDG. PERMITS $101-581 Building permits in Fullerton totaled $101,581 in November. DIVERSION Mussolino Desired To Detract Attention From Home Affairs The bombardment of Corfu by an Italian fleet was ordered by Premier Mussolini to divert the attention of the Italians from certain domestic political issues which were getting uncomfortable Redarians were told this today by Charles E. Evans, a member of the U.S. Commission on Near East Relief, who was the speaker of the day at the weekly luncheon in the Elks' clubhouse. Back of the bombardment was a train of other events. A syndicate had planned a railway thru Greece in a new commercial route to Egypt which would have diverted much trade from Italy. Italy was to receive merely a good sized block of stock of the new concern. Mussolini cared little about the massacre of a few Italians in Corfu, but he cared much about the blow at his country's commercial prestige. The indemnity which he named in his terms to Greece was designed to make up in part for the losses to be sustained because of the railway. Italy had been promised a strong foothold on the coast of Asia Minor as war apoils, and when she didn't get it added the Turks in driving the Greeks out of Smyrna, which Britale and France had put into Greek hands. Turkey, in spite of the three billions of dollars left by the Greeks was losing her economic backbone, because of the loss of Greek intelligence and industry. Evans was in Corfu three days before the bombardment. The Albanians who preceded the Italians in cars allowed to pass unharmed, but 30 shots were fired from ambush at the Italians and several officers killed. Corfu has been called "the neck of the Adriatic bottle." From a naval standpoint its importance is great. America's greatness in the Near East is one of political ideals and not merely of finance, commerce and politics, said Evans. Unlike the other nations surrounding Greece and Armenia, America is there to give something and not to get something. In the past five years the Near East has taken care of approximately 400,900 children, which it feeds, educates in a trade and trains in American ideals. These little ones are the orphans of Miss Leona Coyle, "rich guys' cars." Land was murdered in Ardm worth $250,000 with a spent seven years in Miss Leona Coyle, "rich guys' cars."

Counting the school buildings, the total for the year may go over the two million mark. REDUCE U. S. DEBT WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. — A reduction of $26,747,741 in the country's public debt in November was announced by the treasury department today. The gross public debt Dec. 1 was $22,055,461,230. Treasury refunding operations have cut the debt down by $908,235,519 since Dec. 1, 1922.

France instends to open agricultural schools in Syria. All of these children are learning "team work" and the American "spirit of the game." says Evans. Their training is destined in his opinion to mean more for the peace and tranquillity of the world than all the statesmanship. While in Greece Evans was made an honorary member of the Grand Lodge of Free Masons of Greece and of the Blue Lodge of Athens, besides receiving the 18th degree from another body. The thing that he prized more than all else, however, he said was the gift of a tiny American flag, pinned on him by a little orphan.

HOLMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) PARTIES Determined Group Hold Whip Hand in 68th Session of House By GEORGE R. HOLMES (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—A determined little group of Republican insurgents from the northwest, who hold the whip hand in the 68th congress, used it in a spectacular manner this afternoon and prevented either the Republicans or Democrats from organizing for business. They chucked a monkeywrench into the house machinery within two hours after the opening of the session by refusing to vote for the re-election of Speaker Frederick H. Gillett, Republican of Mass. The second ballot was likewise without a decision. The determined little band of northwestern insurgents stuck to their guns and voted for Cooper and Madden. Republican leaders at 1:15 p.m. planned to take a few more roll calls and then, unless a decision was secured, adjourn for the day. The official vote on the second ballot for the speakership was: Gillett 195; Garrett 193; Cooper 17; Madden 6. Total 411. Those voting for Cooper were: Deck, Brown, Clague, Frear, Lampert, Nelson, Volgt, Peavey, Schafer and Schneider, all of Wisconsin. Davis, Keller, Knutson, Kvale and Welfald, of Minnesota: Laguardia of New York, and Sinclair of North Dakota. Those voting for Madden were: James and Woodruff of Mich.; King, Reindl, and Michaelson of Illinois. All of the candidates themselves voted present. Representative Berger of Wisconsin, the only seated in the house, also failed to vote. The official count on the third ballot placed Garrett, Democrat, of Tennessee, in the lead. He had one vote margin over Gillett. The vote was: Gillett 195; Garrett 196; Cooper 17; Madden 5. Total 413. After fruitless ballots had been taken and it became apparent that no decision could be obtained on a speaker, Representative "Nick" Longworth, the new Republican leader, arrose and said that the situation was obvious and no good purpose could be served by continuing the balloting. He moved to adjourn until noon tomorrow and the motion carried. Leona Coyle. Miss Leona Coyle, of Indianapolis, Ind., is through making tires for "rich guys' cars."

THE 88th congress is Republican, but it is a title of courtesy only. The division between Republican and Democratic strength is so narrow that in both houses the balance of power is held by small but determined and militant groups of progressives and insurgents. They do not control the situation, but their power of vetoing id blocking at every turn (Continued on Page Eight)
