Shaw, in his speech, said that Mor Loeds, present engineer of the harbor, spent two years investigating its possibilities. Ten of 12 experts checked up his results, after he had approved its potentialities. At present no silt drained into the harbor—mainly because of the expenditure of $130,000 to divert the course of the Santa An river. Now an east jetty alone remained to keep the harbor sufficiently deep. Every great commercial city everywhere on earth has a harbor of some kind. Shaw declared: There were in fact only two classes of cities, those with harbors and those without. With proper development of the harbo, it would be only a question of time when the whole County would be one big city. San Pedro was and had been the making of Los Angeles. At BALLOT Atty. O. T.

Cailor Gives Opinion Names Should Not Be Printed The city councilmanic race waxed warmer today, following the announcement yesterday that the names of O. H. Renner and Joyde Williams would be printed in the ballot which would workmittedly to the advantage of certain candidates by dividing the opposition. The inclusion of the two names being done despite the fact Renner and Williams had format-withdrawn from the race prior expiration of timem for filing nominations. E. H. Metcalf, one of the candidates who saw in the plan a clever political scheme to bolster the candidacies of Stark and Pape for the long term and Cook and Gates for the short one, was still seeking opinions of attorneys today on the legality of the proposition. Everything he has found to date would indicate that the names should not be included since the candidates withdrew before the ballots were印nted. He stated today he would make absolutely certain of his position before acting. Atty. O. T. Cailor gave it as his opinion today that the names should not go on the ballot. "It's merely a political manover," said Cailor. "If you reall, a parallel case occurred a few years ago when Judge Bordwell, later making considerable campaign for U. S. senator, withdrew a consolidate the vote of his faecon. The opposition attempted to keep his name on the ballot but failed." Dean W. Hasson, one of the candidates opposing the move to cut the names of Renner and Williams on the ballot, declared today: "It's the same old stuff and the people are getting mighty tired of them started something they don't be able to finish. I entered this race with the declaration to any friends that it must be clean politics and I am going to insist upon that." E. E. Knipe was another candidate who, it was understood, opposed the placing of Renner and John Gorini. John Gorini's testimony that he paid William Orr and Owen B. Murphy a total of $200,000 for the privilege of withdrawing liquor from bord is still rocking Washington. Gorini, vice president of a drug company in New York, says that he paid a "toll" of $15 a case to "clear the track" for the handling of the liquor. SELL JUICE OF SMALL ORANGES Plans nearly matured for utilizing small size oranges by extracting the juice and selling it in two-gallon containers at fountains throughout Southern California were announced today by William Webster, manager of the Anaheim Valencia Growers' Ass'n.

He obtained a two day leave on March 10 at Mobile, Ala., and was due to report to his ship again at Pensacola two days later.

JUDGESHIP WASHINGTON, April 1.—Wayne Wilson, vice-president of the Motor Car Abstract Co., of New York, denied today before the whole Brookhart committee that he "had offered" J. Van Vechten Olcott a federal judgeship for $35,000. Olcott testified last week that Wilson had made the offer.

"Jake was quite said Dyche." He liked to kid democracy. Jake's relations with were never such their have told Al secrets." Hamon had no po- tions other than to A. A. Slaback, another candidate who took the same attitude as Metcalf and Hasson, declared: "I think Stark and the rest of them started something they won't be able to finish. I entered this race with the declaration that it must be clean politics and I am going to insist upon that." E. E. Knipe was another candidate who, it was understood, opposed the placing of Renner and Williams on the ballot. He could not be reached by phone this afternoon. By including Renner and Williams on the ballot, there will be five candidates for the long term and six for the short term. It is considered that Renner and Williams, despite the fact they have withdrawn, might take some of the vote that would go to Metcalf, Hasson, Slaback and Knipe since all six are known to favor law enforcement and more judicious expenditure of city finances.

Polling places were shot up and ballots strewn over the streets and floors.

Harding. A. H. Wilson, a former state secretary of instruction in Oklahoma, testified that the late Warren told him he had paid 45,000 to Harry M. Daugherty, harding's campaign manager at Chicago, to help "put Harding over." Ed Dyche, an Oklahoma politician, who managed Hamon's campaign for the national committee, testified he did not think Hamon paid any money to anyone and he characterized Al Jennings' story of a million dollars paid to Boies Penrose, Will Hays and Harry M. Daugherty as so much "bunk." "Jake was quite a kidder," said Dyche. "He particularly liked to kid democrats. Besides, Jake's relations with Al Jennings were never such that he would have told Al secrets."

Harding were bared before the senate public lands committee today. R. H. Wilson, former state superintendent of public instruction of Oklahoma, testified that the late Jake Hamon, Republican national committeeman from Oklahoma, paid $25,000 to ex-attorney general Harry M. Daugherty "to put over" Harding's nomination. About two weeks after the 1920 republican convention in Chicago, Wilson said he met Hamon in Oklahoma City. "Weil, I see you put the thing over," Wilson said he told Hamon. "Yes, I did." Hamon responded. "Did he tell you he had paid any money?" "Oh, yes." "To whom?" To Mr. Harding's campaign manager, Harry M. Daugherty. AS USUAL Court Gives Oil Magnate Ten Days to Withdraw Not Guilty Plea WASHINGTON, April 1.—A special grand jury will be empowered here on April 16 before which the government oil counsel will ask indictment of all those criminally involved in the naval oil lease scandal, it was announced. WASHINGTON, April 1—Harry F. Sinclair, toillionaire oil magnate, who defied the senate public lands committee in refusing to answer questions in the oil investigation submitted to arrest this afternoon, charged under a federal indictment with contempt of the senate. Arraigned before Justice Hochling, in District of Columbia criminal court No. 2, Sinclair, smiling and debonair as usual, entered a plea of not guilty to the charge and then stepped aside while Martin W. Littleton and J. W. Zevely, his attorneys, asked that bond be fixed. The court gave Sinclair ten days to withdraw his plea of not guilty and to file a demurrer to the government's indictment. Bond was fixed at $5,000 and was furnished immediately by the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, whereupon Sinclair was released from further custody of the court.

Daugherty as so much "bunk." "Jake was quite a kidder," said Dyche. "He particularly liked to kid democrats. Besides, Jake's relations with Al Jennings were never such that he would have told Al secrets." Hamon had no political ambitions other than to be national committeeman. Dyche said, and he spent about $105,000 getting elected to that. "Didn't he want to be secretary of the interior?" asked Senator Spencer, Republican of Missouri. "Absolutely not" replied Dyche. "Any man who says Jake Hamon used a dime to influence the Oklahoma delegation or spent any money for bribery or corruption at Chicago tells a flat falsehood." After the hearing Dyche walked over and grasped Senator Walsh's hand. "Senator, I want to commend you on what you are trying to prove. I hope you drive out all the rascals." Walsh replied after a moment's hesitation. "I have heard this story from so many sources that I am going to press the investigation even tho I run up a blind alley." Walsh said he had three or Continued on Page Three) "Booze Detector" Discloses Amount of Hooch In System SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.—Heralded as much more effective than the "truth detector." San Francisco physicians and police experimented today with the "booze detector," known as the metabular. The new machine, to be used here in the campaign against drunken auto drivers, determines the quantity of oxygen required by a "suspect" and thus reveals the amount of "home brew" or "bot-tied in bond" which has been consumed. According to Dr. O. W. Ginsburg, inventor of the metabular, the degree of intoxication is registered by the demand in the system for oxygen to offset the consumption of heat, caused by the alcohol. By feeding pure oxygen thru a nozzle the exact degree of intoxication may be determined, physicians contended today. Mr. Ware was badly dazed in the accident, and suffered an injured leg. A. A. Alton of Los Angeles, driver of the other car, which collided with the Ware car, suffered three broken ribs, and others were injured less seriously. BEGIN PACKING MISCELLANEOUS Packing of miscellaneous varieties of oranges has started. The Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n began operations today. Manager W. H. Schureman announced, and the Anaheim Cooperative Orange Ass'n commenced yesterday. The former will ship 10 to 12 cars and the latter three. Manager Schureman said his association wouldn't pack all the sweets in the present run, although a good beginning would be made. The fruit is a good deal smaller than usual, as was anticipated, but the variation from normal is not so great as was the case with the navels. The latter, because of their small sizes, have taken away in a measure the market for smaller fruit which the miscellaneous varieties normally fill at this time of year. The Anaheim Citrus has only two or three cars of St. Mice. The Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n has not yet started shipping and is uncertain when it will start. April 15 was mentioned as the approximate date some weeks ago. The Stewart Fruit Co. will help ship no miscellaneous varieties, so that the plant will not be active again until valencias are ready. 12 GUNMEN SHOOT TWO, GET $10,000 MONTREAL, April 1.—Twelve gunmen held up messenger of the Bank of Hochelaga late today, killed Henry Clereux, chauffeur of the bank car, and escaped with $10,000 after wounding R.
