Metcalf announced today he was considering the calling of a conference of the mayors Girl Battles With 5 Police Officers LOS ANGELES, June, 21. Five members of the San Pedro police force owned ruined uniforms today, three had scratched faces and two were suffering from kicks and bruises as the result of resistance to arrest made by Margery Dawson, 19, who says she came here three weeks ago from Oakland. Ink bottles, paper weights and books were hurled at Captain Hagenbach and nine officers when they attempted to question the girl, who was arrested charged with trying to "vamp" police officers. The police said the girl told them she wanted to be a detective and had invited them to sit on the porch of the house where she stayed to "spoon." THREE POWERDISTRICTSFORMED Farm Bureau Representatives in Conference at Santa Ana Today At a gathering today in San Ana of representatives of 13 fa centers, the county was divi ENERGY City Puts in Widespread Program of Economy in All Departments Mayor E. H. Metcalf announced today he was considering the calling of a conference of the mayors of all Orange co. cities the first of next week to consider the adoption of daylight saying to conserve electrical energy. Anaheim merchants and industrial men agreed today that the plan to move up the clocks an hour, as was done here during wartimes and the practice every summer in a large eastern cities, was the most practical and effective way to carry thru the necessary conservation program. "By moving the clocks ahead an hour, thus saving an hour of everybody's electric light consumption, we will do more to affect the needed 25 pet. electricity economy now facing us than by an other means. Furthermore, it will be done with least inconvenience to any. There is only a minimum of slack that can be taken up by industries and irrigationists. To affect much saving, they are faced by costly and inconvenient installations of other modes of power. "The city is cutting consumption to the bone. Street lights are limited to one at each corner. The city hall will be dark each night. Park lights save for those about the plunge will be cut off. And we are taking steps to relieve the consumption of power at the city pumping plant. Citizens can also help by remembering that every gallon of water saved means so much saving in electrical energy. "The city regrets to have to enforce conservation of energy, as it means a curtailment in city revenues, but it is absolutely necessary. I expect to see all cities in So. Calif. adopt daylight saving. H. E. W. Barnes is heartily in favor of daylight saving either by stores and industries agreeing to move their opening time ahead one hour or by advancing clocks an hour. Daylight saving is no experiment. It has been in vogue for many summers in New York and other large eastern cities. Even if the present emergency did not make it advisable, I would strongly favor it. What's the use of staying in bed these fine mornings burning up daylight when we can quit our work an hour earlier each evening and beat it to the beach or in other ways enjoy the added hour of daylight these summer evenings. Barnes states he would ask the Rotary club to endorse the matter from Oakland. Ink bottles, paper weights and books were hurled at Captain Hagenbach and nine officers when they attempted to question the girl, who was arrested charged with trying to "vamp" police officers. The police said the girl told them she wanted to be a detective and had invited them to sit on the porch of the house where she stayed to "spoon." MANY DEATHS FROM HOT WEATHER CHICAGO, June 21. -- Five deaths and property less totaling more than $2,000,000 today was the toll of the freak storms which quenched the sizzling heat wave. The storms which focused in the great lakes region resulted from the meeting of two climatic extremes, an unusually severe but wavy from the southwest and an unusually cold wave from the northwest. Texas, Oklahoma and other southwestern states had swollen under 80 to 230 degrees for a week. At the same time, low temperatures ruled in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. Two lost their lives in a tornado which struck near Dickinson, N. D., when the extremes met. Telephone and telegraph lines were blown down and heavy property damage was claimed by the storm. Another storm swept Winnebago and Ogden counties, Illinois. There was no loss of life but property damage of $1,000,000 was wreaked. Another tornado swept southern Wisconsin, taking heavy toll between Chicago and Milwaukee. A cloudburst struck near Racine, Wis. At Palo Ill., a live wire fell during a storm electrocuting a little girl wading in a pond. A boy was struck by lightning when he sought shelter from the storm in a tree at the Jackson Park golf course in Chicago and another was wreaked.

W. L. Delmiling, of the So. Calif. Edison Co., declared that Oranion co. had not yet affected any power saving.

In an answer and cross complaint filed today in the superior court Wardlow made his attitude clear on the suit, recently brought against him by T. C. Ryan, formerly of Villa Park, who claims ownership of the plane. Ryan claims he purchased the plane from J. C. O’Donnell of Whittier after O’Donnell had plotted it to its present location on Wardlow’s ranch. When Ryan called for the plane he found it chained to Wardlow’s real estate and a damage claim against it. Ryan brought suit in the superior court for possession. His cross complaint to Ryan suit, Wardlow recites the event of the plane’s unexpected descent upon his field and the frightening of a team of horses to such an extent that they ran away. The runaway permanently disabled one of the horses, he alleged. The horses, Wardlow claims, also damaged a hay raid and harness. O’Donnell, the former owner of the present owner, as it may be estimated the damage with Wardlow at $150, the complaint says Head, Rutan and Scovel of Santa Ana represent Wardlow.

THIRD SLAIN JAPANESE FOUND Another Horribly Mutilated Body Discovered Beneath Bridge LOS ANGELES, June 21.—Baffled by the finding of the slashed bodies of two Japanese near Fort Coroner’s J Wig-W A coroner’s jury sitting and Tuthill’s mortuary, this afternoon recommenstallation of a wig-wag blind crossing of the and Placentia-ave where ly L.

Balboa, witnesses of the The engineer of the YOUNG FO TWO LEADERS KILL EACH OTHER OFF NEW YORK, June 21—William G. McAdoo and Governor Al Smith, the two leading contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination, appeared today to be killing each other off with a neatness and despatch that brot joy to the supporters of every dark horse in the Democratic stable. The fighting between these two rival camps has become so intense that today—three full days before the opening of the convention—found odds being freely offered about the hotel lobbies that neither man will be able to command the two thirds necessary to choice. In the Smith camp there has been formed within the last few days a "battalion of death" sufficiently powerful to stand out infinitely against McAdoo's nomination. Its ranks cannot be broken, according to its leaders. The center squad of this battalion is New York, with 90 votes as solid as Coogan's Bluff. The fight flank is commanded by George E. Brennan, the grinning "boss" of Illinois; the left wing is under the control of Jos. M. Guffey of Pennsylvania. They have counted noses and are satisfied with the total. Not to be outdone, the McAdoo camp, according to its leaders, also has formed its little "battalion of death," the sole purpose of which is to prevent the nomination of the New York governor. Its component parts are Texas Georgia, Florida, California and sufficient states from west of the Mississippi to prevent Smith from ever attaining the 732 votes required. If their lines hold—and leaders in both camps assure inquirers that they will hold—the door is left wide open for the galloping dark horses. He may not even have to gallop, a trot may bring him in, ruefully commending his efforts. FOUND Another Horribly Mutilated Body Discovered Beneath Bridge LOS ANGELES, June 21.—Baffled by the finding of the slashed bodies of two Japanese near Fort MacArthur, police here faced another mystery today when the body of a third Japanese, horribly mangled, was discovered beneath a bridge near Pasadena. Every bone of the body of the Japanese found today was broken and the face had been mutilated in a fashion similar to the attack made upon the two men discovered near Fort MacArthur. A rigid investigation was launched by the authorities in connection with the possibility that the three deaths might be linked with anti-Japanese outbreaks in Los Angeles and vicinity. Reports were received by the officers today that numerous Japanese colonies in the vicinity had been given threats that their members must leave this section at once. At first the authorities believed the third Japanese had suicided by leaping from the high bridge under which his mangled corpse was found but later they said they were convinced he had been murdered and his body stabbed to the bridge to give the impression he had suicided. The man was well dressed. A watch and $26 were found in the pockets of his clothes. The gruesome double murder assumed an international aspect when it was learned Japanese Consul General U. Oyama of San Francisco tele-graphed for a full report of the finding of the bodies. LOS ANGELES, June 11.—Police here continued to be baffled today by the murder of two Japanese, whose bodies were found full of bullets and knife stabs near Fort MacArthur. One of the bodies, on the right hand of which glittered five large diamond rings, has been partially identified as that of Kachemp Igarashi, former Los Angeles cafe owner. Howard Woodman, 13, who became excited over finding the bodies, started an investigation of his own and today handed police a .38 caliber revolver, which he picked up near the spot where the bodies were found in a pool of blood. Six exploded shells were found in the gun. One theory, which has strong evidence that death was unavoidable. The following witness called: Richard Warner, of giles, engineer; W. Coulter; Mr. and Mrs. W. Balboa, witnesses of the engineer of the YOUNG FOOT EVENING CONFERENCE With the midway point in the German Baptist once last night at the auditorium, new heights and attendance were given over 700 people present manifested that they intensely interested in people's work.

HERRIOT CONFERS WITH MrcDONALD LONDON, June 21.—The conference between Premier MacDonald and Premier Herriot of France this week-end was hailed as inaugurating a new era in European diplomacy. Both are Socialists and both have been consistent enemies of "secret diplomacy" and "secret agreements." It is generally expected that the conference will sound the death knell of the Policare policy toward Germany and will re-establish Anglo-French accord on a real firmer basis. The conference is expected to deal almost wholly with ways and means for putting the Dawes reparations plan into execution as soon as possible. It was also anticipated the premiers would discuss the summoning of an inter-allied conference. THREE RAILROAD LINES COMBINE MINNEAPOLIS, June 21.—In an effort to bring about greater railroad efficiency that will make possible a reduction of transportation rates and a consequent savings of millions annually to the general public, a plan has been prepared for the consolidation of the Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Burlington railroads. The merger of these Hill systems awaits only the action of the interstate commerce commission, it became known today when an official announcement was made to International News Service exclusively by Ralph Budd, chairman of the Great Northern board of directors, who discussed the details of the plan. It is taken for granted that the commission will approve the consolidation as it has already indicated a favorable attitude toward merger of various lines operating in the same territory. In Twin City railroad circles today it is also reported that the Chicago and Northern and Omaha roads also are working out a concentration plan which they expect will win the commissions' approval. It is believed that the concentration of the Hill lines would No. Orange-co including Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia, Olive, La Habra, Yorba Linda, the Bastanchury Ranch Co., and C.C.

On Thursday, the last date for which figures are available, 87 cars of lemons and 257 cars of orange were shipped, comparing with 41 cars of lemons and 152 of oranges Monday. Wednesday shipments were 78 and 258 cars, respectively, and on Tuesday 53 and 159 cars. Cantalope shipments reached new high levels, proving a serious competitor to cranes.

It is believed that the concentration of the Hill lines would be the biggest merger in American railroad history, involving the most capital and property. The original plan of railroad concentration prepared by the interstate commerce commission did not include any of the Northwestern systems. At no time, however, has the commission indicated any hospitality to the merger of these lines, according to Mr. Budd.
