COMMISSION OFF TO NATION'S CAPITOL SEATTLE, April 30.—Led by Manuel L. Quezon, president of the insular senate, nine members of the Philippine independence commission who arrived here Monday night, left today for Washington, D. C., where an attempt will be made to get a hearing before the house of representatives on the independence bill now in the hands of the committee on insular affairs. SOLDIER BONUS SOON TO COOLIDGE WASHINGTON, April 30. BIG IMPROVEMENT IN HOOF DISEASE SACRAMENTO, April 30.—Marked improvement in the hoof and mouth disease situation in California was claimed today by Dr. U. G. Houck, head of the federal forces fighting the livestock scourge. Only three new infections were reported and these were confined to areas under rigid quarantine in Los Angeles and Merced counties, two of the new cases being in the Los Angeles district and the other in Merced. CLAIMS CURE FOR DISEASE The foot and mouth disease is only the trouble known as foot rot, M. Klukas, former Canadian rancher, who claims to have a cure, told friends here. Then the animal used to be tied up so that it could not lick its feet and the disease was cured. Klukas communicated with the State Department of Agriculture in Sacramento, but could not go no encouragement. He was told that COURT RULES IN FAVOR OF ERNEST Superior Judge R. Y. Willis late yesterday gave judgment favor of R. W. Ernest, sued by divorce by Ida Ernest. Counsel for Mrs. Ernest had spent two days in attempting to escape a case. After the defense barely more than started, Ernest having been on the stand but a short time, counsel for Mrs. Ernest moved to dismiss the case. Counsel for Mr. Ernest objected dismissal, stating such a star would leave Mrs. Ernest free institute similar suit against once Defense was willing to its case, however, and the court returned the judgment favor Mr. Ernest and denying Mr. Ernest the divorce petitioned. The court took advantage of the occasion to declare that principal cause of the troupe seemed to be the mother-in-law Mrs. Ada Webster. He declared she should not have been permitted to remain in the home and pressed surprise that Mr. Ernst had allowed her to stay. Mr. Ernest has filed suit against Mrs. Webster for $25,000 damages, alleging alienation of affections. Late in the first day of the trial after testimony of Mrs. Ernest and her witnesses had been ousely impeached and the court stated the plaintiff had committed perjury to obtain a divorce this years ago at Reno or was doing to get one now, Atty, Clyde Bishof of the defense counsel arose informed the court he had been fully informed about the case and was withdrawing. WATER AT RIGHT TIME BIG HELP TO WALNUT (Continued from Page One even at low prices. On the other hand, large sizes of soft shell and budded walnuts always find ready market at the bottom.) SOLDIER BONUS SOON TO COOLIDGE WASHINGTON, April 30. Complete agreement on the new soldiers' bonus bill was reached today by the senate and house conferences, indicating that legislation will be in President Coolidge's hands before the end of the week. Differences between the bills were slight, paid up insurance policies being carried in both measures. STOKES TO COURT CHICAGO, April 30.—W. E. D. Stokes, millionaire New Yorker, must stand trial in Illinois on charges of conspiracy to defame the character of his wife, Helen Elwood Stokes. This was the decision announced by Judge Wells M. Cook, in criminal court today, when he quashed four counts in the indictment against Stokes but upheld the other fix. LOWER REDISCOUNT RATE WASHINGTON, April 31.—The federal reserve board announced today it had approved the application of the New York Federal Reserve Bank for a reduction of the rediscount rate from 4% to 4 percent. The announcement caused some surprise, in much as Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and board officials have repeatedly stated no change in the discount rate was anticipated. MUST PAY $300 FINE Jense Ortiz, of Fullerton, picked up yesterday on the charge of transporting liquor and arraigned this morning before Judge French, was fined $300 or sentenced to 206 days in jail. He has not yet paid the fine. Harry McCaugh, charged with trespassing, received a 30-day suspended sentence. ANNOUNCEMENT The Peoples Finance and Thrift Co. will be open for business May 1st. This organization handles merchants' contracts of every description; also loan money to salaried people with very little convenience to the borrower. Loan can be paid back in ten equal monthly installments. This organization fills a long-felt want in this community and conduct their activities. CLAIMS CURE FOR DISEASE The foot and mouth disease is only the trouble known as foot rot. M. Klukas, former Canadian rancher, who claims to have a cure, told friends here. Then the animal used to be tied up so that it could not lick its feet and the disease was cured. Klukas communicated with the State Department of Agriculture in Sacramento, but could get no encouragement. He was told that the department had received hundreds of similar proposals and couldn't try out his remedy, which Klukas declares he used successfully. PRODUCER HOPES TO SQUELCH STRIKE NEW YORK, April 39.—Sam H. Harris, prominent theoretical producer, today shouldered the task of averting a theatrical strike June 1. Harris replaced all committees that have been representing the Producing Managers' Ass'n and the Actors Equity Ass'n when is insisting on recognition of Equity as the basis of the new contract. If the strike comes and persons prominent on both sides today said the situation was almost hopeless, the Shuberts and their allies, said to represent 40% of the managers' association, will probably make peace with Equity, it was said. This would center the strike against 27 firms who heretofore have strenuously opposed any settlement based on acceptance of the "Equity shop". Althe leaders of the Equity have turned down the arbitration proposal, the matter must go before the organization council for final decision. Its rejection was precluded. AUTO PARKING LOT FREE TO PUBLIC Effective immediately, the big parking lot at Los Angeles and Chestnut-ts., owned by West Bros., will be at the disposal of the public free of charge. This lot is very convenient, having several entrances and exists, with a paved floor, and will be welcomed by the motorist who would rather have his car "off the street." Claude West said today: "This lot will take care of a hundred or more cars and all our friends and customers are welcome at all times, day or night to come and go when they please. As this parking lot is but one block south of the flag pole we hope the public will find it very convenient. Drive in at the Los Angeles-st entrance WATER AT RIGHT TIME BIG HELP TO WALNUT (Continued from Page One even at low prices. On the other hand, large sizes of soft shell an budded walnuts always find a ready market at the better price. If will pay the grower big dividends over and above the cost of labor and water if he will take Prof. Batchelor's advice and ad upon it without delay. "The profit in growing No. 2 walnuts as compared with No. 2 is well known among growers. Prof. Batchelor points out." Will practically twice as many walnuts required per pound in the smaller grade, together with their sale of 6 or 7 cents less per pound, it requires no master mathematician to figure no master mathematician to figure heavy loss which grower sustains when he produces a crop that runs heavily to No. 2's. "It is clear to all students of the problem that one of the limitations to the growth of large walnuts is insufficient water in the soil during the period of rapid growth of the nuts. Just when this period of rapid growth takes place and when it ends, is our prime importance to the practical grower. "At the end of the rapid growth period the 'die is cast' so far as the size of the walnut then on the tree is concerned. No amount of midsummer or late irrigation water will make a particle of difference in the size of walnuts after the shell begins to harden so that it is cut with difficulty with a knife." During the growing season of 1923 in co-operation with Mr. D.C. Wylie, who was then with the field department of the California Walnut Growers' Ass'n, observations were made to determine the critical growth period of walnuts. "Random samples of 100 nuts were picked weekly in similar, careful, systematic manner from a group of Placenta trees on the property of R. M. Fay of Anaheim." These nuts were cut across their largest diameter between the stem and blossom end. Records were kept of the average size of the nuts, as well as of the average size of nuts and shuck combined, for the growing season. "The actual diameter measurements so they are, therefore, in direct proportion to the volume of the nut which is the only true comparative measurement to use." After June 28 all the samples measured were within the realm of error in random sampling, and ANNOUNCEMENT The People's Finance and Thrift Co. will be open for business May 1st. This organization handles merchants' contracts of every description; also loan money to salaried people with very little inconvenience to the borrower.

COMING SUNDAY CALIFORNIA THEATRE ANAHEIM 'SCARAMOUCHE' ANNOUNCING REOPENING Rumfelt Tent & Awning Co. in a few days NEW STOCKS — CAMP SUPPLIES Now closed on account of fire 207 North Los Angeles St. Phone 657 These nuts were cut across their largest diameter between the stem and blossom end. Records were kept of the average size of the nuts, as well as of the average size of nuts and shuck combined, for the growing season. The actual diameter measurements so they are, therefore, in direct proportion to the volume of the nut which is the only true comparative measurement to use. After June 28 all the samples measured were within the realm of error in random samplin, and showed no increase in size following that date. The shuck made more relatively late growth than did the nut. The growth curve for the shuck did not flatten out until the last of June. It should be particularly noted that this test was made on budded walnuts of the Placencia variety, and as budded trees usually emerge from dormancy and the nuts develop and mature from 10 days to two weeks later than the soft shell variety, a comparative development of the size of soft shell walnuts would doubtless occur from ten days to two weeks earlier in the season than in the case of budded. Therefore, irrigation, to stimulate the growth of the nuts should be applied somewhat earlier on soft shell varieties than on the budded variety. For those not familiar with the interpretation of data from curves, a diagram has been prepared showing the periodical actual size of the nuts from May 3 to June 28 when the growth of the nuts terminates. By June 14 the average size of the sample was equivalent to the minimum size of a fancy budded nut. "It must be clear from these figures that any irrigation water which is to affect the size of the walnuts should be in the ground during the month of May, and the earlier it is applied during that month, the more effective it will be. "The volume of the samples of Placenia walnuts herein described increased 483 per cent during the 28 days from May 3 to May 31, and increased only 18 per cent during the following 28 days. This shows when the walnut grower must act, by using plenty of water, if he is intent on producing No. 1 nuts." HURT RULES IN FAVOR OF ERNEST Senior Judge R. Y. Williams westerday gave judgment in of R. W. Ernest, sued for be by Ida Ernest. Counsel Mrs. Ernest had spent nearly days in attempting to estabcase. After the defense had more than started, Mr. Ernest had been on the stand short time, counsel for Mrs. moved to dismiss the case. For Mr. Ernest objected to sal stating such a status leave Mrs. Ernest free to the similar suit again at Defense was willing to rest he however, and the courir the judgment favoring ernest and denying Mrs. the divorce petitioned. court took advantage of reason to declare that the final cause of the trouble to be the mother-in-law, Ida Webster. He declares could not have been permitremain in the home and exsurprise that Mr. Ernest owed her to stay. Ernest has filed suit against Webster for $25,000 damleging alienation of affecin the first day of the trial. Ernest or witnesses had been seripeached and the court had the plaintiff had committed to obtain a divorce three goat at Reno or was doing so one now, Atty. Clyde Bishop defense counsel arose and and the court he had not fully informed about the case withdrawing. AT RIGHT TIME BIG HELP TO WALNUTS declined from Page One low prices. On the other large sizes of soft shell and walnuts always find a market at the better price.

SARGUM PROUTINGS The fans attending the Fullerton club's wrestling show last night saw one of the greatest matches ever staged in this section. It was the most scientific and cleanly executed match the club has yet staged. Both Miller and Hackenschmidt are gentlemen and sportsmen. If the wrestling game was played always on the same high standard as it was last night, it would be one of the most popular sports in the world today. It is too bad that the work of such men has to be discounted by the crookedness of others in the game. Hackenschmidt looked much better in his match last night than he did against Roy Mabee. His foot work is marvelous. In this department he had it all over Miller. Hack's feet are better educated than are Santels and that is saying a lot. It is almost impossible to get a hold on the Bear Cat because those feet bar the hold. Miller would do well to study the art of baring holds with his feet, a la Hackenschmidt. The Little Giant of Brea is learning rapidly and displayed to his admirers a lot of new stuff. He did not get started till after the first fall, but after that he displayed some of the prettiest wrestling this southland has ever witnessed. William E. Dick, a prominent farmer of this section, and nine regrees are known to be dead. AT LEAST NINE KILLED ANDERSON, S.C., April 30...

LOCAL MERCHANT TALKS TO STUDENTS The class in journalism at the Anaheini Union High school yesterday heard O.H. Renner of the S Q R Store tell his life story, which proved to be full of example to the young people. Renner started work at 14 years of age with F.S.Federman, who then conducted a drygoods and clothing store at the corner now occupied by the Golden State National Bank. For 12 years Renner worked for him, never missing a day, except to attend business college in Los Angeles. For about a year, when he was 23, Renner worked as cashier of the store of the Copper Queen Mining Co., in the State of Sonora, Melco, Henry Stroldthoff, another Anahein boy, was general manager of the store. At around 26 years of age Renner and A.E. Schumacher bought out Federman and started the present store. Renner’s talk brought out in an interesting way the contrast between conditions here then and now. He urged upon his hearers loyalty to town, school and themselves. “ABSENT VOTERS” MUST HAVE TICKETS SACRAMENTO, April 30.—California voters who are in other states and desire to vote at the May primaries must make application to the county clerks for “absent voter” ballots before midnight tomorrow night to cast their ballots under the new act, Secretary of State Frank C.
