ORDER PROBE OF FULLERTON COPS thorough investigation of Fullerton police department was ordered last night by Fullerton trustees upon resolution by W. J. Carmichael of the police commission and passed without dissenting motion. The resolution said that there had been much public disapproval of the police department, and that it was time to make a thorough investigation, and determine whether or not there are grounds for such disapproval. Members of the board to make the investigation are: H. H. Crooke, mayor; O. M. Thompson and W. J. Carmichael. The investigation followed dismissal of J. Young by Arthur Eells, chief on the grounds of being unsatisfactory. Young tried to overrule the dismissal of Eells, and remains on the force anyway, while upon Eells revoked his commission. Young complained to the police committee of unfair treatment, and his friends alleged良心 on the part of other officers led to his dismissal. Carmichael is said to have ordered Eells to keep Young on the force, but Eells refused, which brot about a fight between Eells and the police committee. George L. Story, whose house was robbed recently, stuck up for the police department, sending to the council a very congratulatory letter defending the department against recent newspaper attacks. He said in part: "I can see no reason for apologizing to any particular set or faction for our police department. I know all the members, and I take particular pride in living in a city that the criminally-inclined light aby of." William Knepp and others presented a petition for the annexation of 933 acres of land just outside the city limits on the south side, west of Spadra-rd, which was acted upon favorably and an ordinance passed the first reading for a special election on the annexation. Howard Irwin, in behalf of the reality board, offered to erect a sign at the Magnolia-Buena Park-rd entrance to the city if the city would keep it up, which was agreed to. The C. of C. is to erect four other signs at various entrances to the city. The matter of the much-mooted Starbuck-rd was discussed again last night.

CHEER WATSON ON KLAN RFERENCE INDIANA POLIS May 21 SAN PRANCISCO, May 21 Shippers and farmers on the Pacific coast were today jubilant over the 10 per cent reduction express rates on fruit, vegetable butter and eggs ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission for carload lots, which is regarded as a striking victory for the California railroad commission, the leader of the fight against his express rates. The savings to shippers are growers in California alone estimated today by the railroad commission to approximate $000,000 a year under the new schedule and over the Pacific coast it may be double that figure it was said. The nation-wide protest over high express rates was precipitated in 1920 by the California commission when it refused to place effect in California the 13% cent raise in express rates ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Since then California alone all the states have not paid their increase in rates in intra-state commerce, over which its commission has jurisdiction. Savings falling more than $1,000,000 year are estimated to have been filed shippers and growers by the refusal. Demand by the Literate Commerce Commission that California pay this increase resulted in a rate bearing in Washington, D.C., which terminated with the nounced reduction. J. C. Harriman at the request of the California body was named to sit in on the hearings, representing this state. The new rate per 100 pounds from San Francisco to New York will be $13 as compared with prevailing $14.62. The rate from Los Angeles to this city will be $3.20 per 100 as compared with $3.34. Under the new schedule the intention is to be divided into three districts as compared with present five. From the Mississippi to the Pacific coast will be one district, from the Mississippi ecto to the Appalachian mountain will be another and the third will be on the Atlantic coast. HERRIOTT WILL was acted upon favorably and an ordinance passed the first reading for a special election on the annexation. Howard Irwin, in behalf of the reults board, offered to erect a sign at the Magnolia-Buena Park-rd entrance to the city if the city would keep it up, which was agreed to. The C. of C. is to erect four other signs at various entrances to the city. The matter of the much-mooted Starbuck-rd was discussed again last night. Petitioners desiring it to be widened said they had been paid off ten years, but a week's work by the council ought to work wonders. The report of the committee on the reconstruction of the curb on No. Pomona-ave near the high school was received and filed. The city engineer reported fair progress in the city clean-up campaign, and Mayor Crooke urged a campaign for the clean-up of vacant lots. FIVE LOST WHEN LAKE SHIP SINKS SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich., May 21.—Grim accounts of the battle with a Lake Superior gale that claimed the lives of captain and four shipmates were told today by 16 survivors of the steam-Orinoco, which foundered Sunday off Montreal Island. Radio dispatches from the tug Gargantua, which answered the signal fires built by the survivors on Montreal Island, told the story of the wreck.

The survivors which the Gargantua was bringing to the port told of the hopeless fight against the storm, the desperate decision to cut the barge adrift, the flight in the wreckage and of reaching the island, where a 40-hour vigil was spent before the tug brought relief. Members of the Gargantua crew commanded by Captain D. Williams of the Spanish River Paper Co. of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., provided the survivors with food and warm clothes. Two bodies were picked up by the tug after cruising around the scene of the wreck for several hours. Later the tug found the dislifting barge Chieftain and took it in tow.
