TERRIFIC STORM Santa Anans Attempt to Divert CONFERENCE ON PROJECT AT NORWALK GRANT NEW TRIAL Tho Mrs. Emma Blackford of Corona lost a $15,000 damage suit against E. L. Beckwith of Downey, based on the death in an auto accident of her husband, Superior Judge R. Y. Williams at Santa Ana today had granted a new trial of the case. Beckwith won the first trial in January. Lewis Blackford, the victim, was killed when his motorcycle was in a collision with Beckwith's auto in Santa Ana canyon a year ago February. The new trial was granted on the grounds of error in the admission of testimony regarding custom and habit of the deceased. Attorney A. E. Koepsel, representing Beckwith, was permitted to introduce such testimony at ON PROJECT AT NORWALK Manchester-Ave. Route is Accepted at Largely Attended Meeting That an attempt would be made by Santa Ana interests to switch the proposed airline highway along the S. P. Ry., from Los Angeles into Orange-co, considerably to the west of Anaheim, become known just before a conference convened today at Norwalk on the project. The S. P. makes a straight shoot from Anaheim into Los Angeles but certain Santa Anas are behind a movement to swing the highway away from the S. P. some distance to the west of Anaheim and divert traffic into the county seat. Jasnuch as the airline highway was first proposed by The Plain Dealer months ago, any efforts to divert it from Anaheim will not meet with ready response here. Los Angeles-co has already much of the right of way from Los Angeles city to the Orange-co lines 470 feet to the north of the S. P. Northern Orange-co authorities contend that the airline project would be continued into Anaheim last proposed. This would connect with Commonwealth-acre Fullerton, benefitting that city as well as Buena Park. It is estimated the airline would handle 65 pct. of the traffic coming into Orange-co. Anaheim businessmen, who have seen Santa Anans go after roads before, do not belittle their efforts in that direction. Anyone at all familiar with Orange-co road improvements in recent years knows how many of them run directly into the county seat. Secretary Rid of the Anaheim C. of C. was invited to the Norwalk conference today, but could not attend. The plan for the air-line highway from Orange-co to the city of Los Angeles via Manchester-ave, was given its first general endorsement by the communities concerned, at the meeting today in the Forum club, Norwalk, at 100 DEAD IN FIRE-SWEPT FACTORY SHANGHAI, March 11.—Revised estimates late this afternoon placed the number of dead in a fire which swept a four-story silk factory in the heart of the city today at 100. Early this afternoon 51 bodies had been recovered from the ruins of the building. The dead include a score of Russian refugees who, destitute, were working in the factory and living on the roof above. A score of charred bodies were found huddled at the bottom of a half burned ladder at the rear of the building. Terrible scenes were enacted on the second floor where over 50 women were trapped by the flames unable to escape because the windows on that floor were securely wire screened. The Chinese hospitals are filled with seriously wounded, scores leaping from third and fourth story windows. CITIES MAY TAKE OVER OUTFALL W. G. Knox, Santa Ana city engineer, reported to the council of that city last evening that the work of the contractor, L. De URGED TO CUT TAXES Coolidge Sends Special Message; Little Hope It Will Be Heeded WASHINGTON, March 11.—President Coolidge sent a special message to congress today asking that a special resolution be enacted before March 15 (Saturday) permitting a 25 per cent horizontal reduction in 1923 income tax rates—but the word travelled back to the White House from congressional leaders within an hour that the outlook for such action was exceedingly dark. The transmission of the message followed speedily upon the action of Republican leaders in congress yesterday in turning down this self-same resolution. They contended that inasmuch as the 25 per cent reduction was contained in the general tax bill there was no occasion for passing a special resolution at this time. Democrats and insurgents are also opposed to it, fearing that it will pressure the way for President Coolidge to veto the general tax bill, once the 25 per cent is made to apply to current taxes. The text of the president's message follows: "It has been my earnest hope that a 25 per centum reduction in taxes be paid for the current year may be provided by law before the 15th of March current. Many people have been expecting that such would be the case and deferred their tax payments accordingly." "It is a matter of prime importance that I have no hesitation in recommending that the public welfare would be much advanced by temporarily laying aside all other legislation and enacting a resolution for this purpose, which ought to be unanimous consent. The tax payers, the business interests, agriculture, industry, finance; in fact, all the elements that go to make up the economic welfare of the people of America would be greatly benefitted by such action. It would remove at all familiar with Orange-co road improvements in recent years knows how many of these run directly into the county seat. Secretary R-id of the Anaheim C. of C. was invited to the Norwalk conference today, but could not attend. The plan for the air-line highway from Orang-d-co to the city of Los Angeles via Manchester-ave, was given its first general endorsement by the communities concerned, at the meeting today in the Forum club. Norwalk, at which Orange-co supervisors and various other prominent individuals were present, besides members of the Los Angeles Regional Planning Commission. Secretary Hugh Pomeroy of the latter body, who outlined the plan over a month ago before the Associated C. of C. at Fullerton, was the principal speaker and told of the advantages of the highway to all sections concerned. The route described was via Manchester-ave 470 feet north of end paralleling the So. Pac. tracks. The conference adjourned with understanding that each of the communities concerned in Los Angeles-co would appoint committees, if they had not already done so, to meet at another general conference in Norwalk at a date to be set later. It was declared after the meeting that while the course of the highway as described was from Los Angeles to Santa Ana, the course in Orange-co would be de-(Continued on Page Six) Wednesday is contest night at Perlus hall, Anaheim, next to the California theater; $500 cash for best dancers.

Knox, Santa Ana city engineer, reported to the council of that city last evening that the work of the contractor, L. DeWaard, on the outfall sewer is not being satisfactorily continued. In view of his report, DeWaard was notified that he must actually be prosecuting the work not later than next Monday or the joint cities would take over the work. Altho several men resumed the work yesterday, Knox saw it as a subterfuge. The contractors encountered some difficulties at the final unit of the line and asked the cities to authorize the changes bringing additional expense. The cities claim the change was made upon the contractors own suggestion and they are not responsible, and that the work should be completed under the original plans. FLUHARTY SPEAKS TO FARM CENTER There was only a fair turnout last night at the Buena Park farm center for the address of L. W. Fluharty, one of the most interesting speakers sent out by U. of C. "Every rancher in the district should have heard his discussion of the relation between producer and consumer," declared President Richardson of the farm center today. Fluharty will address the Anaheim farm center tonight at the high school. "It is a matter of prime importance that I have no hesitation in recommending that the public welfare would be much advanced by temporarily laying aside all other legislation and enacting a resolution for this purpose, which ought to be by unanimous consent." The tax payers, the business interests, agriculture, industry, finance; in fact, all the elements that go to make up the economic welfare of the people of America would be greatly benefitted by such action. It would remove an element of uncertainty from the current financial year at once, which would be a strong stimulate to business with its resultant benefits to the wage earner and the agriculture of our country. It is impossible to see that any harm could accrue from this action, and there is every prospect of resulting benefits which would be very great. It would be a positive step in the right direction, which is much needed at this time to justify the confidence of the people that the government is intent solely on the promotion of the public welfare without regard to any collateral objects." Representative Longworth, Republican leader of the house, declared he favored such a resolution, but to pass it before Sunday, the last day on which 1923 incomes may be reported, would require unanimous consent and he did not believe this to be possible in view of the opposition to it in Democratic and Insurgent quarters. There is also a provision in the general tax bill, now before the Senate, granting this same 25% reduction on 1923 incomes, the greater reductions not becoming effective till 1924. TRY A CLASSIFIED AD Urge Santa Ana Annex Strip Along Road to County Harbor A petition presented to Santa Ana city council last night by the South Main-st Improvement Association seeks to annex a strip of land from Santa Ana ta Orange-co harbor thus giving the county scarce frontage on the harbor.

Daugherty, before a special senate committee. While members of the committee guarded their plans with the utmost secrecy, the following developments became known: 1. Evidence was laid before the committee, involving certain high government witness in the vet-ket gambling on government information. 2. Ellias H. Mortimer, chief government witness in the ever-ans' bureau investigation, was subpoenaed in connection with the alleged stock transactions. 3.

Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, March 11—The network of evidence fabricated by the senate public lands committee into the leasing of the naval reserves was extended today to cover other prominent figures in the world of oil. Telegrams secured from Three Rivers, N. M., the home of ex-secretary of the interior Albert B. Fall, disclosed today, according to members of the investigating committee, that back in 1921, a general conference was held at Three Rivers over the naval reserve leases, which was participated in not only by Fall and Harry F. Sinclair, who finally obtained the dome lease, but also by Col. Robert Stewart, representing the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, and H. M. Blackmer of the Midwest Refining Co. Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, and the Midwest Co. were two of the group of companies which were paid $1,000,000 by Sinclair to quiet claims to the Wyoming reserve. In previous testimony before the committee, J. Leo Stack, Denver oil man, has testified that the midwest group "worked in concert" with Sinclair and "conspired to lease Teapot Dome" by squeezing out rival claimants. As a result of what was learned in examination of the Three Rivers telegrams, members of the investigating committee declared today it would undoubtedly be necessary to subpoena both Stewart and Blackmer. The committee regarded the telegrams as important—so much that it was decided to keep them secret for the present. The committee decided not to make any more telegrams public for the present and then summoned John F. Major, McLean's confidential agent, to the witness stand. Major was questioned about the trip made with McLean in December to Atlantic City to see former By Reginald Taylor In the coming visit to Anah on Thursday evening, March 8, he without doubt the great American singers, the peek of the city and surrounding tricts are being favored to a greater extent than many read.

A CLASSIFIED AD Tex Strip County Harbor on the harbor, petition signed by two of the oters of the district, include a half mile on each highway along south and a quarter mile on each 23rd-st, Costa Mesa. Ellas H. Mortimer, chief government witness in the esterans' bureau investigation, was subpoenaed in connection with the alleged stock transactions. New information reached the committee concerning the charges that oil interests conspired to foment a revolution in Mexico, unmolested by the department of justice. Local managers of the telegraph companies in San Antonio, Tex., were subpoenaed with instructions to bring all telegrams sent or received by Albert B. Fall or Edwin Doheny This action was linked to the alleged Mexican revolt conspiracy. The committed decided to launch its own investigation regarding action by the Walsh oil inquiry into a story that the late Jake Hamon, Oklahoma oil magnate, sought to trade convention votes at Chicago in 1920 for a cabinet post. Subpcenas for seven Republican political leaders in New York and Ohio were in the mails today. Secret subpoenas were issued for several prominent Texas oil men, prominent in politics, in connection with the alleged Hamon deal. The summoning of Mortimer, the chief witness in the trial of Col. Charles R. Forbes, in the veterans' bureau investigation, was guarded closely by committee members. His prospective testimony was said to be of a highly sensational character. We have direct evidence of stock gambling by government officials," Senator Brookhart of Iowa, chairman, said. "Some higher-ups' are involved. We expect to be able to produce records of these stock transactions and some other documentary evidence of a highly sensational character." Counsel for Daugherty meanwhile were planning his defense. They were said to be ready to stage a series of "sensations" of their own and make charges personally involving the attorney general. Friday night is balloon contest night at Perlus hall, Anaheim, next to the California theater; $5.00 to the couple holding the last balloon on the floor. If you miss it you will miss a lot of fun today it would undoubtedly be necessary to subpoena both Stewart and Blackmer. The committee regarded the telegrams as important—so much that it was decided to keep them secret for the present. The committee decided not to make any more telegrams public for the present and then summoned John F. Major, McLean's confidential agent, to the witness stand. Major was questioned about the trip made with McLean in December to Atlantic City to see former Secretary Fall, but the committee got little from him. Major repeatedly professed ignorance of what transpired in the conference, finally shouting: "I don't know what they did. I don't suppose McLean went there to talk about the weather with Fall. My inference is they talked about the loan. He didn't go there to say how do you do." Walsh demanded an explanation of Major's telegram of Jan. 2 to McLean in which he said A. Mitchell Palmer, former attorney general, and McLean had "other people working on Walsh." "It didn't mean that there were people actually working on you. Senator Walsh. I take it to mean that Palmer had someone inquiring of you if McLean was to be called." "Who were the parties?" "I don't know, Ask Palmer." On Jan. 3, Major wired McLean that he had been "busy with Bennett, Zevely, Curtis and Underwood." "What were you busy with Senator Underwood about?" asked Walsh. "Bennett and I went to see Curtis. Bennett then suggested that we see Underwood, which we did. It was about having McLean's deposition taken in Palm Beach or having his statement read into the record. But we had no success." Major said he approached Zeverly to aid in keeping McLean off the stand. WASHINGTON, March 11. Another batch of telegrams that passed between Albert B. Fall, E. L. Doheny, E. B. McLean, Harry F.

TO CITRUS DISTRICT Three-fourths Unpicked Oranges Destroyed in Some Sections ORLANDO, Fla., March 11. A cloudburst, followed by a terrific gale, has caused considerable damage to fruit crops in this section, according to messages drifting into Orlando today from growers over this section. The damage, it was said, resulted in those sections where the fruit had been unpicked. In some quarters the reports said three-fourths of the unpicked fruit had been destroyed. Official figures indicate there were between seven and eight million boxes, mostly grapefruit, in the groves near here at the time of the cloudburst Sunday. The heavy rain was followed by a strong gale yesterday which has been sweeping across this section. The wind brushed unpicked fruit to the ground where most of it will perish before it can be shipped, growers agreed. Altho the exact damage has not been determined, it was generally conceded that in some sections at much as three fourths of the fruit was lost. The extent of the damage will depend upon how much of the fruit belt is affected, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n.
