SAYS THE PARTY BE WINNER Wheeler formalizes Radical Nominee Vice-President WASHINGTON, Burton K. Wheeler, attorney prosecutor CHARGED Points to Sensational Reports of Small Fire on Signal Hill SACRAMENTO, July 19.—Governor Richardson today issued a statement denying that the forest fire situation in California is serious and that a drought exists. "The state forester reports that few fires in California are in national forest reserves," the statement said. "The state is not burning up even if certain sensational news agencies are trying to set it on fire with red ink. On my trip over the Ridge road between Los Angeles and Bakersfield, I looked for the forest fires that the lurid red news agencies were spreading. I looked for any menace to the highway as published. I saw no fires. There is none on the Ridge road. I saw one small smoke in the brush a few miles north of the road. The road is still intact. In fact, it is built of cement and concrete and is impervious even to sensational journalism." "I saw the fire on Signal Hill before leaving Long Beach. It was not the great menace the yellows said it was. I saw it. Flames were not ten feet high and only an old pump hole burned. It was a small matter and attracted little attention. I have many reports of fake fire stories. In fact it seems to me that certain parties are deliberately trying to injure California with these fake stories. I know the people are too wise to be misled by fakers." "The national and state departments of forestry are doing good work and I have full faith in their ability to check the forest fires. The state is lending every aid in men and money. There is no occasion for hysteria. California is not dried up. On my trip from Sacramento to San Diego, covering several counties I noted that the country looked greener than usual at this season of the year and the crops are better than in many years. California farmers will have a good year." SAN FRANCISCO, July 19 — A break of the Forest Hill divide fire in Tahoe National Forest into the Eldorado Forest nearby was the chief development today in the forest fire situation, it was announced at Forestry headquarters. A detail of 45 men was rushed to the scene and no difficulty was expected in controlling this latest outbreak.

The plan is to sink metal sockets into the curving, with metal cups over them when they are not in use, and when the holiday arrives merely screw the flags into the openings, which are usually placed some 25 feet apart. The flags wouldn't have to be the only decoration used, but they are invariably the least dispensable part. Morris W. Martenet, Jr., commander of the post, estimates that 306 or 400 sockets and flags would be required in the principal streets of the city. Already 25 or 30 owners of private houses have ordered them. Whittier already has adopted the plan, and Brea has ordered some 100 of the flags and Placenta 35. Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana are considering the scheme.

Imbrie, American vice consul, by a mob of natives who also beat Molin Reynour another American who was Major Imbrie's companion, so severely he is not expected to recover, according to dispatches from Teheran. Rioting followed the attack, the dispatches said. Seven Persian police were injured by the rioters. Major Imbrie, who was in charge of the consulate at Teheran was taking a photograph of the public fountain in the center of the city when the mob descended upon him, according to the dispatches from Teheran. The attack was apparently sudden and unexpected. Major Imbrie was accompanied by his secretary, an Oriental. Later dispatches said the riot was caused by the anger of the natives at Imbrie's taking photographs of a "sacred spot." The fountain was said to have been the scene of a miracle. The mob dragged Imbrie and Seymour from their carriage and despite the efforts of the police to save them, beat and clubbed them. Finally the mob was dispersed and the victims were found unconscious on the ground. They were rushed to a hospital. Imbrie died shortly afterwards. Seymour is not expected to live.

RAILWAY V BOOST LA DETROIT, July LA FOLLETTE AND WHEELER TICKET WASHINGTON, July 19—Senatro La Follette and Wheeler! This new third party ticket was thrown into the presidential race today when Senator Burton K. Wheeler, famous Daugherty prosecutor, announced he would accept the offer to run as vice president in Senator Robert M. La Follette's independent drive for the Whate House. Wheeler's acceptance of the proffer, it was learned, came only after Senator La Follette made a personal appeal to him. Wheeler, a democrat of Montana, declined a similar tender several days ago. The national committee of the conference for progressive political action voted unanimously to endorse Wheeler. This action was taken after the committee conferred with LaFollette. A special committee headed by Wm. H. Johnston, chairman, later called on the Montana senator and formally tendered his post. Wheeler announced he would give the committee a reply this morning. Wheeler's change of heart toward the third party nomination came overnight, despite the pledges of his democratic colleagues in the senate not to throw his lot with the progressives. The Montana senator, however, decided to accept the proffer in order to assume a leadership in the progressive fight against what he termed the "Wall Street" ticket of the democratic party. LaFollette's camp was more joyful and most optimistic than ever today. There was not one in the progressive conference who did not predict that the acquisition of Wheeler, regarded as a great personal triumph for LaFollette, would strengthen the ticket sufficiently to make a victory in November certain. Senator Wheeler reached his capitol office at 10:45 this morning to prepare a statement of acceptance. He confirmed to inquiry newspaperman International News Service's earlier announcement of his acceptance. Try a Classified Ad for results. C. C. SECRETARIES TO ATTEND SCHOOL Secretary George W.

Monetary Systems Not N Danger From Synthesis WASHINGTON, July 19—World monetary systems are in no present danger from the reported production of synthetic gold by a German chemist, officials at the U.S. treasury declared today. Admitting that should gold be manufactured in large quantities and more cheaply than it can be mined, the American dollar, standard of world coinage value, would go the way of the German mark; treasury chemists insisted that synthetic production will cost more than the ordinary mining process. The world gold proximately $9.00 last two years has been about 1% annually, the value ounce having been years ago in an agreement of great importance.

RAILWAY WORKERS BOOST LA FOLLETTE DETROIT, July 19.—Robert M. LaFollette was endorsed for the ORANGES 15 pct. More Boxes Being Packed to Car, Points out W. H. Schureman Shipments of citrus fruit from No. Orange-co, including today's amounts, not only maintained the higher level reached last week after the slump in the week of the Fourth, but eased slightly above it. Last week approximately 335 cars of oranges and lemons were taken by the three principal railways; this week the aggregate reached close to 350 cars. Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia, the leading shipping centers, all showed gains, particularly Placentia, with 58 cars against 37 last week. The total figures given cover No. Orange-co from La Habra to Olive, and include Garden Grove. The figures are closely estimated in the case of two or three houses. Three hundred and fifty cars this year is equivalent to more than 400 last year, according to W. H. Schureman, manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit A'n'n', not counting heavier weight box for box and more oranges to the box. That is, 15 per cent more boxes are loaded to the car and, owing to smaller sizes, much more fruit even not counting the greater number of boxes is shipped. On this basis the total shipments of 1922-23, estimated at 32,441 cars of oranges from So. Calif., alone, against 30,333 this season to and including July 17, doesn't state the true condition, according to Schureman. That in this season's shipments with the same number of boxes to the car amount to 34,883 cars. The result is that, not considering the heavier weight and numerically more oranges shipped this year, So. Calif has shipped 2,442 more cars instead of 2,108 fewer cars than last. Lemon shipments, however, even considering heavier and larger loadings, are far behind last seasons, and this week witnessed a considerable slackening of shipments. Prices were put up a little on larger oranges this week, but there is naturally a vast amount of small sized fruit to dispose of and the market for it is crowded, Schureman declared. Melon shipments from Imperial Valley showed further decline and from the Turlock section didn't figure in the larger auction markets. Eastern fruit, however, particularly berries, Georgia reaches, etc., are beginning to flood the big market. RAILWAY WORKERS BOOST LA FOLLETTE DETROIT, July 19.—Robert M. LaFollette was endorsed for the presidency today by national officers and general chairman of the maintenance of way employees and railway shop workers, with a membership of 300,000. A resolution, unanimously adopted, announced the intention of the union to engage in the campaign in LaFollette's behalf and urged all members to make small contributions to the Wisconsin senator's campaign fund. FILM STARS WED LOS ANGELES, July 19.—Wallace Beery, motion picture actor, and Mary Gillman, movie actress, formerly of Parkersburg, W. Va., will be married here tomorrow, it was learned today. At the same time the wedding of Frederick Gillman, screen actor and brother of Miss Gillman, to Cassette Funkey, a non-professional, was set for the near future. Systems Not Now in From Synthetic Gold The world gold supply is approximately $9,000,000,000. For the last two years, the production has been about 16,000,000 ounces annually, the value of $20.67 per ounce having been fixed many years ago in an international agreement of great powers. The United States holds over $4,000,000,000 of the total Treasury officials doubted that the German chemist has a formula for the practical production of gold in quantities. Hundreds of formulas have been submitted to the director of the mint, but none have been productive of results. Prices were put up a little on larger oranges this week, but there is naturally a vast amount of small sized fruit to dispose of and the market for it is crowded, Schurman declared. Melon shipments from the Imperial Valley showed further decline, and from the Turlock section didn't figure in the larger auction markets. Eastern fruit, however, particularly berries, Georgia peaches, etc., are beginning to flood the big market. FULLERTON MOVES 91 CARS OF FRUIT Citrus shipments from Fullerton this week totalled 91 cars of oranges and two cars of lemons. Last week there were 88 cars of oranges, no lemons.
