DeLong, New York City, and Robert L. Coleman, San Francisco. The Albanian government, Cod ing reported to the state department this afternoon, promised to dispatch troops in pursuit of the bandits and take all possible action to apprehend and punish the murderers.

TIRANI, Albania, April 7—Ulysses Grant Smith, American minister to Albania, today began a vigorous investigation into the assassination of two American travellers, George B. DeLong, of New York, and Robert L. Coleman, of San Francisco, on the Tirani-Scutarl road. The bandits took to the mountains but are being pursued by troops. Government officials believe that the assassinations are part of a political plot to discredit the present Albanian government in the eyes of the outside world. SAN FRANCISCO, April 7—Robert L. Coleman was a well known attorney here prior to his retirement following the death of his wife several years ago. He was a member of one of the most prominent families in California. According to his son, Robert L. Coleman, Jr., attorney, who with a daughter survive, the senior Coleman was on a leisurely tour of the world and was last heard from several weeks ago in Athens.

DeLong, New York broker, reported slain by bandits in Albania was in Constantinople when his family last heard from him, The April 1 estimate of citrus fruit issued by the California Fruit Growers' Exchange does not differ much from that of March 1, after allowing for shipments. Losses have been at a minimum and fruit has sized up some. This is the situation in Orange-co. According to Dale R. King, manager of the No. Orange-co Citrus Exchange, a total of 6455½ cars of 400 boxes of citrus fruit remained to be shipped at the opening of this month in No. Orange-co. Of these, 5675 were valencia oranges, 703 lemons and 77 miscellaneous, not including navels, which were cleaned up weeks ago. The Orange-co Fruit Exchange's estimate is 4700 cars all told, of which 3700 are valencias, 970 lemons and 30 miscellaneous. This makes for the county a total of 11,155 cars of citrus fruit to be shipped, of which 9375 are valencias, 1673 lemons and 107 miscellaneous. Manager King is not quite so optimistic on prices as newspaper reports would appear to warrant. Fancy navels, larger sizes, sold last year at lower prices than this. Hundreds brought $2.35 against $4.75 this year. But the premium last year was on the small sizes, this year on the large ones. Prices for smaller sizes are not so good this year because of the disproportion of these grades. No miscellaneous varieties from the county yet have reached the market, and prices can only be judged from the figures prevailing on navels, which have been steadily improving. MRS.

The stricken vessel was placed at latitude 46.30, longitude 32.40. 21,000 HOGS AND CATTLE KILLED LOS ANGELES, April 7.—An additional closed area was established late today at Llamanda park when six heifers from among a dairy herd of 280 cows were round to be infected with the hoof and mouth disease. Appraisal of the cattle was started by state officials, after which the entire herd will be destroyed. Uniform regulations to be adopted by all counties in the Southland during the prevalence of the foot and mouth disease loomed today, Supervisor Leon Whitsell stated, following a meeting of supervisors, farm bureau officials and district attorneys at Los Angeles Saturday. These regulations likely will be drawn up when another session is held at the metropolis Wednesday. "The movement of fruits and vegetables from California is considered absolutely safe," a bulletin received here today from G.H. Hecke, director of agriculture, stated. "First because such products have never been known to carry the disease and, second, cause there is virtually no likelihood of contact with the disease as animals except work horrors are rarely allowed to enter orchards, vineyards and garden patches; but most important because a rigid quarantine is drawn around the affected premises and adjacent area by state and federal authorities from which no products are allowed to move. "This conclusion was reached at the conference of livestock inspectors of eight western states at Salt Lake City, March 31, when the question of uniform quarantine on California products OUTFALL Expect Maintenance Cost Will be Less Than With Present Systems With no more water necessary than in the present separate systems—the same amount of course is used, but less would suffice—the joint outfall sewer's overhead costs of maintenance will be much less than at present. City Manager O. E. Steward estimates the reduction for Anaheim alone at 25 per cent. Anaheims' sewage was turned into the new pipes at 6:00 a.m. today and Santa Ana's a few hours later. Fullerton and Orange still are awaiting the completion of their own lines. Approximately 300 feet of sewer remains to be laid into the ocean. Various other benefits will accrue from the new sewer, among them the ceding of an alleged public nuisance in the city's treatment plant on Garden Grove road near Broadway, the making the city more modern and efficient in sanitation thereby attracting more residents and industries, and allowing for population growth. It would have been impossible for Anaheim to use its own plant much longer without enlarging it, while Santa Ana long since had passed the capacity of its own system. By constructing a second sewer beside the first when another one becomes necessary the county can look after its sewage needs for perhaps 30 years to come. Anaheim's city council visited the treatment plant at 3:00 p.m. with the councils of Fullerton, Santa Ana and Orange, and the four engineers and others, including engineers of the city of Los Angeles. The visit will be in the nature of an inspection only and not a celebration.

WASHINGTON, April 7.—Tales of the prodigal use of money where politicians were concerned by the late Jake Hamon, Oklahoma oil magnate and politician, were related to the senate public lands committee today in a session devoted to digging into the campaign chests of both Republican and Democratic parties. J. B. French of Oklahoma City, a former business associate of Hamon, told the committee the campaign of 1920 cost Hamon more than half a million dollars, $100,000 in getting himself elected Republican national committeeman and $400,000 in carrying the state for Harding in November. After the Harding nomination Hamon explained it, French said, by saying, "Well, we had to be good to Bill Miller." Miller, according to French, formerly Ohio's assistant attorney general. Hamon told him, French said, that he had spent "a lot of money" in his campaign for Republican national committeeman. The general election in Oklahoma "to put over President Harding cost more than $400,-000," French said Hamon told him. Subpoenas were ordered issued today for William Miller, assistant attorney general of Ohio; Frank Keith, former administrator of the Hamon estate; and for the late oil man's widow, who later took over administration of the estate. The search for William Boyce Thompson, former chairman of the finance committee of the Republican national committee was ordered pressed today with increased vigor. E. L. Doheny, lessee of the Elk Hills naval reserve, was a "heavy contributor" to the Democratic fund in 1920, it was testified by Wilbur Marsh of Iowa, former treasurer of the Democratic national committee. Marsh could not remember, he said, just what amounts Doheny contributed. WASHINGTON, April 7.—The law partner of Former Attorney General Harry M.

The law is to some extent uncertain, and it may be found possible to ommit the names. Before this is done, if I find that such action is safe, and in order to avoid any litigation after the election, I desire an expression from all of the candidates. I have therefore prepared a statement consenting to this action, which I would like to have signed by all of the candidates, including the two who have withdrawn. Of course, you will realize that if this action is found possible, it must be taken within the next day or two. I therefore ask you to please call at my office at your earliest convenience. Please phone my office before coming, so that I may arrange to be there. Trusting that I may receive your co-operation in this matter, I am very truly yours. H. V. WEISEL, City Attorney, In a typewritten statement handed out today, Weisler said: In consenting to the removal of the names of Oscar H. Renner and Clyde S. Williams from the ballot I am acting principally to secure a clean election, free from all charges of unfairness, so that after the voters have expressed their preferences at the polls all may accept the result without criticism. Permit me to suggest that in a small city like ours, the people can have a clean election if they insist upon it. I shall be glad to do my part in securing this. Respectfully submitted. H. V.
