Several weeks ago Charles Eygabroad director of the Calif Fruit Growers Exchange stated in an exclusive interview published in The Plant Dealer that the current season would be the best ever experienced by local orange growers. The prediction is coming true with a Vengeance. A better feeling is already noted. Optimism is noted among ranchers and businessmen alike. Last year's poor market, the drought and heat and mouth disease are in the dim, distant past. For Anaheim has a big crop and the prices are getting stiffer every day. Three local houses expect to move at least 500 cars apiece. That makes 2400. Three other houses will handle a total of 1100 cars. It is estimated, making a total of citrus shipments from the district this season of 5500 cars. Counting 400 boxes to the car, that is 1,429,000 boxes. While estimates of average returns vary because of the small sizes, it is believed the season as a whole will not miss $2.50 net very far. That would mean a return to growers of $2,550,000. Add so that about 40 cents spent with local labor for picking, packing and hauling, a total of $568,000, and we have a grand total of $4,118,000 that the current crop is placing in local channels of trade. Hundreds of pickers and packers are now busily engaged at the height of the season. Some additional will be put to work when the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Association puts in operation this week its new house at Center-st and the Santa Fe tracks. This association has been operating two shifts daily at its West Anaheim house on the S. P. and still hasn't been able to get out its share of the fruit. Every raise in the price of fruit new is pure velvet to the grower. Just what a raise means to the district now may be gained from the recent 75-cent boost to prices. Figuring a million boxes yet to be sold, the market advance of the last two weeks means an addition of 750,000 to Anaheim. Rep. John Joseph Kindred. Representative John Joseph Kindred, New York, has been the butt of the jibes of fellow congressmen since it became known he is operating a monkey farm on an island off Florida for the study of transplantation of glands. In private life he is a physician. The farm is not commercial, but is being used for gathering scientific data on various theories of transplantation. NEW CHARGE AGAINST 2 DIXIE MEN A new complaint against John Saxon Porter and Lester J. Graham, missing officials of the Dixie service stations, were again made defendants in a criminal action filed today with the district attorney and signed by Morris Stevenson. Stevenson charges the two with obtaining money under false protenres, similar to charges already filed against them. Porter was president of the company and lived in Los Angeles. Stockholders said that Graham, who lived in Anaheim, was the manager. Many thousands of dollars is said to have been invested in the service station scheme. BROOKHURST Quantities of Black Gold Brot Up By Tools of Wonder Well The Wonder Oil Co. at 2:35 this afternoon had another marked showing of oil in its well just west of Brookhurst-ave and north of Lincoln-ave. The crew appeared to be ready to stop drilling either permanently or to put in smaller casing. They had not yet reached the point of preparing cement off. The company refused to give out any information. A pronounced showing of which, according to one of the lessors, makes it certain that the well will be brought in by the Wonder Oil Co. on Brookhurst-ave, was reported today. An Anaheim lessor appeared equally confident that oil would be struck but declared that the company was still drilling this morning. The well now is down 4400 feet. The company expects to commence off at a depth not lower than 5000 feet, according to the local lessor. It a well is brought in the territory of the contracts provide for the erection of a dozen or more dricks on other separate leases on the General Petroleum Standard, the Keck Drilling Co., and Wonder Oil Co., which are working together, and other companies, in local lessor said. Another report that negotiations had been started for part of the extensive acreage of M.I.R. Williams on Magnolia-west of Orangethorpe-ave. From an entirely different apparently independent source same report came, namely that had been found. It was also clarified that the well was been boarded up and visitors barred but this was denied by the Anaheim lessor referred to above. STARBUCK ROAD ORDERED OPENED The first steps towards opening of the long and mud mooted Starbuck-rd, known as Valencia-dry, was taken night at the regular week meeting of the Fullerton board trustees. The board instructed clerk to write the telephone call, asking them to move telephone poles from the center right-of-way to the northern side. new house at Center-st and the Santa Fe tracks. This association has been operating two shifts daily at its West Anaheim house on the S. P. and still hasn't been able to get out its share of the fruit. Every raise in the price of fruit now is pure velvet to the grower. Just what a raise means to the district now may be gained from the recent 75 cent boost to prices. Figuring a million boxes yet to be sold, the market advances of the last two weeks means an additional revenue of $750,000 to Anaheim growers. And of course, whatever may be said for Anaheim growers for the whole county. After announcing increases of 25 cents and 50 cents last week, the Northern Orange-co Fruit Exchange stated the price was at a point where it was the disposition of exchange directors now to crowd it further. However, at their meeting Monday, directors again raised the ante on some smaller sizes. This has been the history of the market for some time now and Exchange directors are most optimistic. It was announced today. "They are eating oranges to beat the cars back east now," stated Eygalroad today. "The price is good and we don't want to boost it to the point where we will show up consumption because of the big crop we have to dispose of. Conditions are favorable for fine orange market. We do not expect deciduous fruit to offer too much competition as last season. A little summer weather, after the backward spring in the east, and lemons will also stiffen." "We can't hold back now and wait in the hope of still higher prices which would damage consumption. We have enough fruit to move that we must keep it going. A new high figure for fancy Orange-co valencias was reached yesterday when California Belle of the Placeenia Orange Growers' Ass'n brought $6.65 on the Philadelphia market. Old Mission brand of C.C. Chapman and Altissimo brand of the Placeenia Mutual Orange Growers' Ass'n brought $6.55 each. No Anaheim Supreme or Anaheim Gloriana, two of the local fancy brands which have been among the leaders, were reported sold. CONTRACTS LET FOR HIGHWAY WORK Oglesby and Dahl, paying contractors, were awarded the contract for the hard surfacing of two miles of Fairview-ave between the town of Fairview and the junction of the avenue with the harbor boulevard. The bid was $34.160. The county engineer estimated the job to cost $36,000. The board of suprevisors also accepted the bid of Lawrence Massa for $5088.15 for the excavating and refilling of trenches to accommodate the proposed pressure system in Orange-co Water Works district No. 2 at Buena Park. Seven bids, the highest being $6264, were submitted. RIDLEY FEATHER-WEIGHT CHAMPION PORTLAND, Ore., June 11.-Ridley, the Seattle boy, is featherweight champion of the Pacific coast today and holder of the Portland Boxing commission belt. He won all the way from Danny Nunes of Sacramento in a 10-round mill here last night. A left hook to the jaw sent Nunes to the canvas for the count of nine in the sixth round. Nunes saved himself by holding on the rest of the round and Ridley, in the excitement, swung wild, when by measuring his man he might have scored a knockout.

CRIME MAY BE NEW ARREST 5 AT FULLERTON WEDDING Attaches of the district attorney's office here today described the release of three sailors, and two women, one of them the bride of one of the sailors, as a "narrow squeak" following their arrest in Fullerton last night, as they were celebrating the wedding on a charge of possessing liquor. On the ground that the evidence was insufficient to warrant prosecution District Attorney A P. Nelson ordered the release today of Marlow Dahlgren, 23, Mrs. Marlow Dahlgren, 21 Miss Grace Brockman, 24, Ted Villines, 22, and Ernest V. Peniline 23, members of the party. The sailors said they were from ships now at San Pedro. Members of the party said they started out in a rented car at $150 an hour to celebrate the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Marlowe. They expressed great surprise that Motorcycle Officer Ross Rudy should find in their rented car a bottle of what he described as liquor. The road of the party was made more rough through the action of the "kangaroo court" of the prisoners in the county jail, who were said to have "soaked" the jack tare $3 on "charges" not accretained. The sailors were expected to do some "tall explaining" on their return to their craft today, as the result of the Orange-co episode. ELECTRIC CO. SUES The Taylor Electric Co. sued W. J.

PERMANENT Chairman In Earnest Admonition To Convention CONVENTION HALL, CLEVELAND, June 11.—Admonition to Republicans to retire from congress the insurgents who have played havoc with administration policies and to elect in November a congress that is Republican in "principle as well as in name," opened the Republican national convention meeting in its second session here today. It was delivered with great earnestness by Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, permanent chairman of the convention, who took up the gavel laid down by Representative Theodore Burton of Ohio, the convention keynoter. His short speech simply emphasized Burton's warning against any third party tendency within the Republican party, and ascribed whatever failures have met the administration program in Washington to the insurgent members of the party. "Every serious fault of recent legislation and every failure to complete and round out a satisfactory legislative program," Mondell said, "could and would have been avoided had there been dependable Republican majorities in Congress. The one certain and sure remedy for such a condition is the election of a congress Republican by a goodly majority, both in name and principle." Mondell briefly and glowingly reviewed the Republican accomplishments under Harding and Coolidge, and coupled with it a short, savage criticism of the Democrats. "It If the American people were prepared to forget," he said, "the wholly indefensible record of the Democratic party in earlier days, they could not overlook the fact that the most recent record of the Democratic party is one devoid of a single redeeming feature; of scandalous mismanagement, of unwise and indefensible policy, while in control and utter lack of definite principle or policy, save that of muckraking and obstructions." Following is the text of Maden's speech seconding the nomination of President Coolidge: "We are assembled from every state of the Union and from its island possessions to register the nation's will." The prayers of millions of our countrymen are with us. They look to us to perform a duty imminent. Inspector Faure The names of Inspector York police department, being mentioned in connexion liam J. Burns, as head commander of justice. Faure named. PRESIDER OF FRANK RESIGN PARIS, June 11.—Millerand handed in his intention today as president French republic.

When parliament convened this afternoon for the simultaneous reading of the letter of resignation in both houses, there was much speculation as to his successor.

President Painlev of the chamber of deputies read Millerand's letter of resignation and announced that the assembly would convene at Versailles at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon to elect a new president of the republic.

The boulevard is now 18 feet wide and supervises most important Planks Accepted by Committee on Resolutions CLEVELAND, June 11.—The resolutions committee of the Republican convention this afternoon accepted most of the important planks reported by the sub-committee in its final draft. The committee gave its O. K. to the world court plank after Senators Watson of Indiana and Harreld of Oklahoma had offered a clause quoting the language of President Coolidge in his December 6 message concerning divorcing the world court from the League of Nations, and it had been voted down. The committee also approved the planks of taxation and economy, agriculture and tariff, submitted by the sub-committee. CLEVELAND, June 11. — The Republican national convention divided this afternoon into what amounted to two rival camps over the selection of a running mate for President Coolidge. While western delegates held a meeting in the Hotel Winton to "demand" the nomination of a vice-president who appeals to the agricultural west; a little group of eastern administration leaders held another session in the Hotel Cleveland to try to find some way out of the situation which has been created by western insistence upon a "progressive candidate." In the meeting at the Cleveland hotel were four members of the president's cabinet — Secretary Weeks, Secretary Mellon, Postmaster General New and Secretary Wilbur and C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to President Coolidge. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania and others. In the Winton meeting were "many western delegates" hailing from Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas and Minnesota. As a result of western opposition, administration leaders admitted it looked impossible to nominate Herbert Hoover, and suggestions were afloat that it might be possible to effect a compromise upon General James G. Harbord or James Good of Iowa, who for 16 years was in congress, and jately manager of the Coolidge campaign in the west. The session in the Hotel Cleveland lasted several hours. It broke up just about the time the westerners were going into conference at the Winton. Those in the Cleveland A letter of resignation and announced that the assembly would convene at Versailles at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon to elect a new president of the republic. A cabinet meeting was held before noon, after which President Millerand sent his letter of resignation to the presidents of the chamber and senate. The document merely said "I have the honor to transmit to you my resignation as president of the republic." Resignation of the Francois-Marcel cabinet is expected at once. By the end of the week, according to the present program, France will have an entirely new government. Not Guilty of 'Gun Toting' Charge Jesus Jiminez, Yorba Mexican, accused of carrying concealed weapons, was free today following the return of a verdict acquitting him yesterday in the superior court of Judge R. Y. Williams who had previously instructed the jury to reduce the charge from that of f-lony to a misdemeanor. The court did not question the constitutionality of the law, although a northern California judge had so ruled, but his instruction to reduce the charge was based, he said, on the failure on the part of the state to prove that Jiminez is an alien. The court said that the burden of proof resided with the state to prove that Jiminez was not born in the United States and had not become a citizen. The jury ended the argument by returning the verdict in favor of the defendant. ILL WITH HEART TROUBLE D. P. Waire, of Ville Park, was brought to the Ankheim hospital very early this morning in the Huddle ambulance, suffering severely from leakage of the heart. His condition this afternoon is slightly improved. BUILDING PERMITS F. Graski, Iteration to residence, 117 No. West-st, cost $300. H. P. Anderson, frame garage at 1220 Diamond, cost $125. AWARD CONTRACT FOR B.P. PAVING Supervisors late yesterday awarded to Steele Finley of Santa Ana the contract for constructing an addition to Orangethorpe-ave at Buena Park, a distance of 6600 feet to a width of 84 feet. Finley's bid was $76,000, the lowest of these bids. The boulevard is now 18 feet wide and supervisors said that when it is widened it will be one of the broadest roads in California. The more than a mile of paving will be five inches thick and of asphalt - concrete construction. The Griffith Co., Los Angeles, bid $77,000; the Los Angeles Paving Co., $79,000. The engineer's estimate for the job was $80,000. JAPS TO OPERATE FAMOUS MINES SAN DIEGO, June 11.—The Jacalitos quartz gold fields, situated 45 miles below the border in Lower California and reputed the richest in the province, will be exploited by a Japanese mining syndicate, it was learned here today. The Japanese obtained a liberal concession from the Mexican federal government, it was said, and already have 350 Japanese laborers at work. American mining men have tried for two years to obtain permission to develop the field. The mining operations are expected to result in the establishment of a colony of several thousand Japanese. CARS COLLIDE An accident occurred last night at the intersection of Orange-thorpe-ave and Spadra-rd when a car driven by A1Bet Kaza and a car owned by the Lalls Auto Livery, both of Los Angeles, collided. Both cars were damaged. No one was seriously hurt. JAILED FOR DRINKING A man booked as "John Doe," and said on the police docket to be "very drunk," was arrested by the police yesterday afternoon, and lodged in the city bustile to "sober up." Classified Ads Bring Results As a result of western opposition, administration leaders admitted it looked impossible to nominate Herbert Hoover, and suggestions were afloat that it might be possible to effect a compromise upon General James G. Harbord or James Good of Iowa, who for 16 years was in congress, and jately manager of the Coolidge campaign in the west. The session in the Hotel Cleveland lasted several hours. It broke up just about the time the westerners were going into conference at the Winton. Those in the Cleveland meeting said: "It looks like Hoover is done." Administration leaders apparently were hopeful of effecting a compromise on either Harbord or Good and at once set out to canvass western sentiment toward them. No success attended efforts up to 2:30 p.m. to get an expression of opinion out of President Coolidge at Washington. Western delegates became busy right after the recess, seeking support for their movement, inaugurated at the Hotel Winton this morning, in favor of naming a vice-presidential candidate from the farm belt. They were keenly resentful over the meeting of the eastern leaders in the Hotel Cleveland last week, which apparently had narrowed the choice down to Herbert Hoover, James G. Harbord and Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas. Of this trio the only one that is acceptable in any sense to the westernners is Curtis and they are not particularly "wild" about him. They want rather a man of the stripe of Judge William S-Kenyon, former leader of the senate farm bloc. Hanford MacNider of Iowa, former national commander of the American Legion, was named chairman of the meeting of the westerners this morning which was attended by nearly half hundred delegates. More promised to be present at a later time, set for 2 p.m. It was 11:02 when the on-gavel fell and the con-filed with the usual anthem.
