MAKE EFFORT MUCH SMALL FRUIT USED FOR JUICE 1500 Carloads of Little Sizes Used By Extractors Fifteen hundred cars of small sized oranges will be used this season by extractors put out by the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. W.R. Geisinger ran there. Shipments From District This Week Will Reach New High Total Today the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n is shipping 200 boxes of its "Sunkist Mother Colony" brand of oranges to Shanghai, China, the first to be sent there. It gives us an entering wedge," said Manager W. H. Schureman today. The Anaheim district's shipments this week will reach a new high total. The association yesterday afternoon put on a second crew and will operate with a double shift indefinitely, shipping 38 or 40 cars weekly, nearly a record for one house. Delay in installing the machinery in the handsome new house on East Center-st is responsible. The second crew is working in the now house, however, which is scheduled to open for operation June 9 or possibly sooner. "This association has signed up practically all of the fruit it will be able to handle to advantage this season," Schureman declared, "and will not accept any more new members after June 1, excepting in the case of a new owner of a grove, who has had no opportunity to affiliate with that association." The burden of orange shipments now has been thrown upon the Anaheim district, said Charles Eygabroad, director of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n. Shipment of navels, even from the Pomona district, is finished, except for a few cars in storage. Valencia shipments are still behind the same date last year, but this will not last long. The San Dimas plant of the Exchange By-Products Co. now is receiving valencia culls, which are fumigated at the local plants before being taken out. Fumigation requires an hour or two and is done in rooms specially fitted for the purpose. Eastward bound fruit does not need to be fumigated. More fruit will be handled at San Dimas than ever before. U.S. NAVY BELOW RATIO OF 5:5:3 WASHINGTON, May 20.—The American navy has fallen below the ratio of 5-5-3, established by the armament limitation conference for Great Britain, the U.S. and Japan, it was admitted offi- WAKE EFFORT TO COLLECT WAR DEBT WASHINGTON, May 20.—Renewed efforts by U. S. government to collect some of the $11,000,000,000 owed by European nations will be made in the very near future, as a result of the passage of the soldiers' bonus insurance legislation, it was stated authoritatively today. Treasury officials, busy with their pencils today, figured that Europe's unfunded debt to the United States will double itself in 20 years and in 1944, at the present rate and under present conditions, will approximate $12,000,-000,000. In 1945, the government will be called upon to take the burden of the veterans insurance policies involving an outlay of some $3,-000,000,000. At the same time there will mature some billions in liberty bonds. Against this day of financial reckoning there must be piled a huge surplus and the eyes of officialdom were turned hopefully toward Europe. New figures obtained by the treasury today showed that Europe's total indebtedness on May 15 was $11,888,753,027, of which $10,556,086,131 is principal. Unpaid interest is piling up at the rate of $267,000,000 a year. Only three nations have funded their indebtedness and put it on a basis of regular payments—Great Britain, Finland and Hungary. Britain's debt was $4,577,-000,000. The others were relatively small. A semi-annual interest payment of $69,000,000 is expected from Britain on June 15. The French, Italian and Belgian debts constitute the bulk of the unfunded indebtedness. France's debt originally amounted to $2,340,520,704. Because Fifteen hundred cars of small sized oranges will be used this season by extractors put out by the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, W. B. Geissinger, son of Dr. J. A. Geissinger and assistant advertising manager of the exchange told Kiwanians today at their weekly luncheon in the Elk Club. J. L. Clayes presided in the absence of President Roscoe B. Young. Two men are at work all the time installing the extractors. Recently a prominent chain store purchased $78,000 worth of them. The average per capita consumption in the United States is 49 oranges and 14 lemons said the speaker. The exchange is 30 years old and has been advertising Sankis citrus fruit 17 years or since 1907, when it started with an expenditure at Des Moines, last of $6,000. California produced two thirds of the oranges raised in the United States. In its advertising, the exchange spends one fourth of its money on show window displays in retail stores. Seventeen men are kept busy keeping in touch with 35,000 dealers annually. The exchange advertises in 285 newspapers which reach a population of 27,000,000. Advertising in New York City alone reaches 378,828 families. Two hundred thousand letters are received annually asking for booklets on information and receipts. The exchange has 11 000 affiliated growers. Secretary Reid of the C. of Curged the merchants to decorate their stores when the California State Press Ass'n, including Governor Richardson comes to the county for its annual meeting. Reid spoke optimistically on business conditions, declaring that times now were normal, not dull in contrast with the previous overflowing prosperity. Henry Adams asked everybody to get out and vote on the school bond proposition. WORLD-WIDE DRY CAMPAIGN URGED SPRINGFIELD, Mass., May 20. U.S. NAVY BELOW RATIO OF 5-5-3 WASHINGTON, May 20.—The American navy has fallen below the ratio of 5-5-3, established by the armament limitation conference for Great Britain, the U. S. and Japan, it was admitted officially today in the house. "We will come before you next Monday," Chairman Butler of the house naval affairs committee announced, "asking for $150,000,-000 for eight scout cruisers and for other smaller boats to bring our fleet back to its authorized ratio strength. The ratio is now about 5-4-3. The cruisers will cost about $15,000,000 and be completed in 1925. Some battleships must be reconditioned." PASTOR'S FUNERAL HELD TOMORROW Funeral services for Rev. C. B. Hatch, former pastor of the local Presbyterian church, who died Monday morning, have been announced for 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, with interment in the Forest Lawn cemetery at Glendale. Decedent was 76 years old, and was survived by three daughters, Mrs. Leo V., McGavern of Anaheim, and Mrs. Gertrude L. Carney and Mrs. Elizabeth E. Merrill, both of Los Angeles. Many of the friends of the former pastor here will probably attend the funeral. BLAST ACCIDENTAL SYRACUSE, N. Y., May 20.—With one dead, two seriously hurt and more than a score suffering minor injuries as the result of an explosion which wrecked a section of the L. C. Smith Typewriter Co.'s plant yesterday, Coroner Crane today said he believed the blast was accidental. The explosion was caused by a collision of superfluous gas which blew up when Christian Peterson, the dead workman, applied his torch to the jets beneath the japanning oven which exploded, according to the coroner. Only three nations have funded their indebtedness and put it on a basis of regular payments—Great Britain, Finland and Hungary. Britain's debt was $4,577,-000,000. The others were relatively small. A semi-annual interest payment of $69,000,000 is expected from Britain on June 15. The French, Italian and Belgian debts constitute the bulk of the unfunded indebtedness, France's debt originally amounted to $3,340,520,704. Because she has made no effort to fund it, interest at 5 per cent has swelled the total to $4,063,902,-927, as of May 15. Italy's original debt was $1,647,975,050, and for the same reason now totals $2,056,279,323. Nations that have funded pay only 3 per cent; those that have not pay 5 per cent—or rather have it tacked on their principal. Officials are hopeful that with the adoption of the Dawes report and the return of Europe to comparatively stability, France, Italy and Belgium, the chief beneficiaries of the aDwes plan, will be able to make some move toward adjustment of their American obligations. SEEK MISSING MEN AT MOUNT KILAUEA HONOLULUU, May 20.—Search was continued today for Edward J. Hinman and Howard J. Simons, enlisted men of the third regiment of U. S. Engineers, missing more than 36 hours in the vicinity of Mount Kilauca, which has been in violent eruption for the past week. Kilauca claimed the first victim in its known history when T. A. Taylor, Pahala plantation bookkeeper who came here three months ago from Chicago, died in a Hilo hospital from the effects of injuries sustained when he ventured too close to the erupting mountain. Vegetation around the crater is dying. The road into the park surrounding Kilauca has been closed and rangers stationed at the entrances with orders to arrest any venturing near.

A world-wide prohibition campaign furthered by widespread propaganda in favor of all nations adopting America's experiment against drink, which is called a success, was recommended today by the general conference of the M. E. church. Prof. James A. James of Evanson, Ill., has submitted a commission report recommending that week-day schools be established in every community for religious education and that public school programs be so arranged that time will be given for religious instruction.

Farmer of Columbus, Ind., is chairman. 80 FIREMEN HURT NEW YORK, May 20.—Eighty firemen were injured, most of them overcome by smoke, in fighting two fires early today. One of the fires was on the Battery waterfront and destroyed one of the oldest piers in the city. The firemen were overcome by smoke and two others collapsed from exhaustion while fighting this blaze. Firemen responding to the waterfront fire were worn out after fighting a stubborn blaze on lower Broadway, in which 76 firemen were injured or overcome by smoke. The destroyed pier was known as the "old Coney Island pier." The blaze was discovered by an alredale dog, whose whining and barking attracted a watchman's attention to flames shooting out of the windows.

ORANGE SHOW WILL NOT BE HELD No California Valencia Orange Show will be held this year. It was the prevailing opinion last night at a meeting of packing house managers directors of Anaheim C. of C. and local merchants that the holding of the show late in June, the earliest date possible to allow for preparations, would not keep well and that the industry would be caught in the midst of the season. The proposal of the Retail Grocers' Ass'n to combine the show with the annual Pure Food Show in Los Angeles was also turned down for much the same reason, although John Ruether of the Anaheim Beef Co. spoke in favor of this move. Packing house managers excluded they could not spare their trucks. Secretary George W. Reid of the C. of C. said today he had received a telegram from G. H. Hecke, director of the State Dept. of Agriculture, that the foot and mouth epidemic had reached a stage of control permitting the show to be held. This means that similar gatherings can now take place here or elsewhere in the county. Among the speakers last night were Mryor E. H. Metals, Herman Stern, Orange show manager; Press Harry D Riley of the C. of C., who presided; Dale R King, general manager of the No. Orange-co Citrus Exchange; Walter Ross, secretary-manager of the Anaheim Walnut Grower's Ass'n; W H. Schureman, manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n; Dr J. D. Thomas of Olive, former president of A.C. of C. Jack Poller of Hold Congress All Summer if Rail and Farm Bills Not Passed WASHINGTON, May 20—Hopes for adjournment of congress on June 7, as planned by administration chieftains, practically vanished today when progressive insurgents announced they would not permit congress to die without enacting farm and rail legislation. Southern Democrats also threatened "to hold congress all summer" unless some disposition is made of the Muscle Shoals question. Senator Brookhart, Rep. of Ia., spokesman of the insurgent group in the senate, in the absence of Senator LaFollette, Rep. of Wis., who is convalescing from a seyere attack ow grippe, declared that "administration leaders might as well prepare now for a long, hot summer in Washington unless they give preference to our farm and rail bills." He said sufficient votes had been pledged to carry out his program. Three principal measures are on the calendar which Brookhart said must be acted upon before the group will permit adjournment. These are: The McNary-Haugen $200,000,000 farm corporation bill; the Howell-Barkley bill abolishing the railroad labor board and substituting national mediation and conciliation boards and repeal of section 15-a, the rate making provision of the Esch-Cummins transportation law. If opposition is too strong to the McNarmy - Haugen legislation, Brookhart said, the progressives would accept the Norris-Sinclair bill, setting up federal export marketing corporation. The McNary-Haugen export corporation bill was taken up by special order in the house today under plans for 15 hours of general dehate. A vote is expected Saturday. In its present form the McNary-Haugen bill has much opposition, and many changes are desired by congressmen before the bill is made acceptable to a majority. The house agriculture committee, which reported the bill to the house, burned its bridges behind by rejecting other farm legislation. The senate has the McNary-Haugen and a half dozen other bills before it. Should the house mutilate beyond recognition or kill the McNary bill, the senate is in position to substitute some other plan of farmer aid. ACTIVITIES JESSE SMITH DETAILED WASHINGTON, May 20—activities of Jesse W. Smith friend of former Attty Daugherty within the department of Justice, were described Brookhart committee today C.

IS KEEPING A MUM AS EVER REGARDING THE POINT TO THE SOUTHEAST WHERE THE SECOND WELL WILL BE DRILLED. THE MOST APPARENTLY RELIABLE REPORT THAT HAS YET COME OUT WAS CURRENT TODAY TO THE EFFECT THAT A POINT AT OR NEAR THE CORNER OF PLACENTIA AND CERRITOS-aves HAD BEEN SELECTED. The Adolph Thomas or Chas. Boege places were mentioned specifically. Boege, when his attention was called to the report, said he was inclined to credit it, with the qualification that drilling was most likely on the polhemus place, the second ranch south of Cerritos-ave between the Thomas and Boege ranches. An seepage has been found on this branch. Boege added that he did not believe anybody locally would know where the next well would be drilled until the lumber actually was on the ground. The Standard continues to drill steadily at its well near Placentia-ave and Wagner-rd on the Wagner ranch of the community lease. Unless it has trouble with its tools at the greater depth it is expected to drill to 6000 feet. It was pointed out here today that the Chapman well at Richfield was to have been abandoned, when, at the urgent solicitation of one of the younger geologists, another 100 feet was drilled and oil struck. The Union Oil Co. had a similar experience at Santa Fe Springs. TEX RICKARD MUST FACE CHARGES Six Other Individuals and Corporations Are Included NEWARK, N.

The witness said with "gave orders all the time" and frequently caused the dissal of department agents whom did not like. "Smith was the most powerful man in the department next to the attorney general," said Bailey. Bailey said Smith came into his office frequently, "on business matters." "Did Smith frequently give your ideas?" asked Senator Wheeler Mont. "All the time," said Bailey, the attorney general previously did me that he was a very busy man and if I couldn't see him, I would just take the matters up with Jesse Smith and that anying Smith said would be all right." "Did you always do what Smith did?" "Practically always." "Were there special cases in which Smith was interested?" "He was interested in everying the bureau of investigation." Bailey said Smith frequently used the dismissal of special efforts now will be made to obtain a general freight rate cut on citrus fruit so as to bring the level back where it was before the war, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Assn.' The $1.55 per hundred rate just obtained of the Interstate Commerce Commission on southern roads merely brings these roads in line with the more northerly ones, and was of benefit to the roads themselves, Sandilands said. It is allowed only on not less than 622 boxes to the car, not on 396 as formerly. The uniform number new will be 462, therefore, with decking resorted to only as absolutely necessary during reefer famines, etc. Sandilands reminds growers that two rate boosts of 33 1-3 and of 25 per cent were made during the war, and that the present rate is still around 40 cents higher than the pre-war one.
