SUE 30 OIL COMPANIES FOR TRUST Charge Standard Oil Company Leaders in Combine to Fix Prices WASHINGTON, June 25.—I gigantic effort to break the legal control of the Standard Oil Company over gasoline and oil prices. Voluntary Co-operation Saves Embarrassment of Pulling Switches After a conference at Santa Ana today with 13 packing house managers, the county power commission agreed to permit packing houses to operate continuously on the understanding that irrigators stop all motors for the remainder of the month. Incidentally, L. B. Palmer, of Orange, manager of the Orangeco Fruit Growers Exchange, was made a member of the commission. Santa Ana packing house managers were indignant because power had been cut off yesterday morning for several hours without warning. As a result, crews stood around doing nothing. Some of the managers, not knowing if they would have power today, did not have their forces on hand. Power was available in Santa Ana today. Apparently the Edison Co. pulled Santa Ana switches yesterday to wake 'em up. Anaheim, by "stepping on" the power conservation program from the first and because it has its own distributing system, has not been so embarrassed. The power commission declared power would be denied all industries in the Santa Ana district except those handling food stuffs for the remainder of the month. There was an enthusiastic response to the announcement yesterday that Mayor Metcalf and city officials were seriously considering installation of a municipal power unit. While investigation of the matter has not proceeded far it has already been determined that the cost would be much lower than at first anticipated, largely because the city already owns 36 miles of pole lines which served 3089 consumers in 1924. It is believed a "standby" unit could be installed for less than $100,000. Anaheim received last year $104,436.15 for sale of electricity for lights and $21,644.20 for power. For this, the city paid the Edison Co. the contract price of $29,689.60 and surcharge of $7,684.61. Wages at power house were $14,580, boiler compound and insurance $100 and 10 pct depreciation $12,000. The city bot 3,298,800 K.W. from the Edison last year and the lighting system made a surplus of $79,-360.12, less $15,361.15 which the Report of committee on permanent organization.

LEMONS HIT NEW HIGH PRICE Lemons reached a new high record price for the season yesterday, when the Whittier Citrus Ass's Penn brand brought $7.90 a box at Baltimore. "Lemon market higher," "lemon market continues very strong," "lemon market fully 50 cents higher" (at New York)—these are some of the reports from the various auction points, all of which reported higher prices on lemons. The valencia market was steady to slightly lower, a reaction from Monday. Receipts of oranges and lemons continued heavy, Orange-co brands figuring prominently among the lots sold. Cantaloupes, called "a pretty stiff competitor" not long ago by Manager Dale R. King of the Northern Orange-Co. Citrus Exchange, have passed their peak now, according to dispatches from Brawley. Only 331 cars moved yesterday against 535 on June 12. The total crop will be fully 2,000 cars short of the original estimates That is, to June 23, 9,211 cars had left Imperial Valley. This compares, however, with 7,746 last year, also a record mark.

Anaheim filling stations today moved to conserve electric energy when representatives of the Standard Oil Co. announced that practically all of the 50 odd stations in the city had agreed to shut down at 8:00 p.m. instead of 10 to save electricity. Some of the stations or firms entering into the plan have made their agreement hinge however, on everybody putting the scheme into effect, and efforts to make it unanimous now are under way. It was declared there is no doubt of the plan being put into operation. The Standard already has cut down energy used from 2900 to 500 watts per day. It is co-operating with the authorities and the So. Calif. Edison Co. thruout So. Calif. V.W.Hannum, power house superintendent, announced today that Anaheim last night with 660 kilowatt hours used, had reached the lowest minimum on any night in a year except on a Sunday.

The other two generators, boilers and engines were sold at the time. The generator is being taken all apart, cleaned, new parts replaced, etc. It will have to be tuned down from 60 to 50 cycles, and Hannum doesn't know positively whether this will be practicable until he has staged a demonstration.

MANSLAUGHTER CASE NEARS END The case of Benjamin J. Brooks, accused of manslaughter in connection with the death in an automobile accident of Mrs. Stena Dunean of Montebello, was expected to go to the jury before nightfall. Argument by attorneys began this morning before Superior Judge F.C. Drumm. The defense yesterday succeeded in blocking the introduction into evidence of the "blood spattered" bottle which the prosecution claims was found by the roadside near where the accident happened. The bottle had been depended upon as one of the strongest links in the chain of evidence offered by the state. The judge would not permit the introduction of the bottle on the ground that it had not been connected directly with the crime and furthermore that it had not been found until several days after the accident.

TO ADOPT DAYLIGHT SAVING PLAN IF OTHER CITIES IN COUNTY CONFORM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN. NEW YORK, June 25—A death knell to the hopes of a Woodrow Wilson faction for revival of the league of nations issue in the coming campaign was sounded late this afternoon when the Democratic platform sub-committee tentatively decided not to again recommend American adherence. The sub-committee, engaged in drafting a platform, favored a plank postponing a renewal of the league fight until the issue could be made non-partisan. This decision, it was said, was reached after former Senator Gilber M. Hitchcock, who led a league fight in the senate in 1919, agreed to the substitute provision. The league plank, however, did not withdraw the Democratic party from its previous stand in favor of the league but would merely put the party of record as accepting the "verdict of the 1920 election."

NEW YORK, June 25—The fate of the democratic party in the 1924 campaign was virtually at stake today when an inner circle of 14 "master minds" met to draft an official platform for submission to the national convention.

It came when Forney Johnston of Birmingham, Ala., formally placed the name of Senator Oscar Underwood before the convention and made it emphatically clear that the Alabama senator is staunchly opposed to the hooded order and all its works. He mentioned the klan by name, and no sooner had it dropped from his lips than the solid delegations of New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and New Jersey leaped to their feet almost as one and made the hall ring with their cheers. "Stand up Georgia," and "Stand up Missouri" came from the anti-klan delegations. Alabama Leads Off With Underwood, Followed by Robinson, McAdoo MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, June 25.—The democratic national convention made speed today toward clearing the decks or all preliminaries to the adoption of a platform and the nomination of candidates. Despite the intense heat, the convention officials decided to push ahead and if possible get all of the routine oratory out of the way today, including the speeches placing a dozen candidates in nomination. Meeting at 11 o'clock, the convention quickly got all routine matters disposed of, listened to an hour's speech by Senator Walsh of Montana, as permanent chairman, and then plunged ahead with the business of nominating. Despite the evident desire of some delegates to adjourn for the roll call for presentation of names of candidates, and Alabama led off with Senator Oscar Underwood. His nominating speech was made by Fordney Johnston of Birningham. It was loudly cheered by all the anti-klan element in the convention. The presentation of his name was followed by the presentation of Senator Joseph T. Robinson's name by former Governor Brough of Arkansas. Arkansas led a mild demonstration for the senator when Brough finished. There was considerable delay after the presentation of Robinson's name, the reason for which was not apparent. At 2:40 p.m. Walsh began pounding his velvet and ordered the delegates to be seated. During the wait the McAdoo forces in the convention distributed about the hall several hundred flags carrying the picture of a grizzly bear and bearing the words "California Republic." These were for use when McAdoo's name was presented. California was called and the small dapper figure of ex-Senator James D. Phelan came to the platform to formally place McAdoo in nomination. All the McAdoo states waved their flags and yelled. It was several minutes before Phelan could begin his oration. The demonstration was led by the California and Georgia delegates, North Carolina, Kentucky, Texas, and parts of other states. Several "Extra" numbers of song and recitation will be introduced during the performance by children not in the picture. Altogether, this is one entertainment you must not miss. Physical handicaps hold no terrors for these courageous children, for they are making use of their talents and demonstrating their ability to earn funds and provide for the needs of younger crippled children. Every dollar earned by their efforts goes into the Welfare Fund of the Senior Alumni, a fund administered by the children themselves, under competent supervision, to help restore crippled children to normalcy and develop individual talent to a point of financial independence. F. A. Backs, 95; F. N. Gibbs, 89; F. A. Yungbluth, 86; H. E. W. Barnes, 74; Henry Adams, 72; C. C. Lamb, 67—these are the six new directors of the Anaheim C. of C., elected out of the 13 nominees it was found last night when the last of the ballots came in. Secretary George W. Reid voiced his gratification at the vote, which was surprisingly large. The other candidates were William Stark, R. C. Berger, O. H. Renner, Sid McGraw, George Palge, J. P. Sebastian and Lee Eicholtz. The six elected serve for two years, an election a year hence being held to fill vacancies left by the six whose terms still have a year to run. The six men whose vacancies were filled are: F. A. Backs and F. A. Yungbluth (both re-elected), John Ruether, Charles Eygbroad, J. F. Ahlborn and R. C. Berger. No. 91, O. E.

Salesman—Plain Dealer Class Ad. He mentioned the klan by name, and no sooner had it dropped from his lips than the solid delegations of New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and New Jersey leaped to their feet almost as one and made the hall ring with their cheers. "Stand up Georgia," and "Stand up Missouri" came from the anti-klan delegations. Missouri sat still, so did Colorado and a number of other states. A parade was started around the hall in which most of the state banners were caught up by marchers, amid tumultuous din. One enthusiastic anti-klansman made a grab for the Missouri banner. A dozen hands sought to keep it stationary, and a struggle for it ensued. "Police!" yelled a woman and a stalwart Irish cop rushed up and separated the combatants. Thereafter, Mrs. Milford Riggs of Ironton, Mo., kept close hold of the banner, and the cop stood by to see that she was unmolested in its possession. In the Colorado delegation there was a similar scrap and before it ended, the sign was torn to pieces and broken. One of the delegates attempted to take the banner into the parade but was stopped by B. L. Jefferson of Denver, and a fight ensued. A dozen men were struggling for its possession. The floor represented a riotous scene for fully 15 minutes. The anti-klan states went around and around the hall cheering madly and exhorting those which refused to join in to "come on." Today's outbreak was a striking manifestation of the bitterness of the klan dispute in this convention. While it was going on in the garden, the platform committee was engaged in a bitter fight over the question of a strong anti-klan plank in the platform. The demonstration ran uninterrupted for a quarter of an hour and then Senator Walsh, the permanent chairman, succeeded in getting order and Johnston finished his speech. Genneline China fireworks, Del Lee Co. 111 W. Chartres, California was called and the small, dapper figure of ex-Senator James D. Phelan came to the platform to formally place McAdoo in nomination. All the McAdoo states waved their flags and yelled. It was several minutes before Phelan could begin his oration. The demonstration was led by the California and Georgia delegates, North Carolina, Kentucky, Texas, and parts of other states. Iowa apparently had been overlooked in the distribution of the flags, so E. T. Meredith, one of the McAdoo lieutenants, went out and got a supply. But the demonstration was over and Phelan's speech began before they had a chance to use them. The California delegates were busy preparing for a demonstration while Phelan talked. Two young women dressed in white and carrying cornets were given seats on the floor. A bandona miss of about 15 garbed in a dress resembling a flag was also given a seat with the const delegation. Purple scarfs were passed around by the California delegation. The activities of the McAdoo lieutenants apparently displeased Senator Walsh. Interrupting Phelan's speech, Walsh raped for order.
