PRES. FLAYS Market Somewhat Better This Week With Small Sizes Dragging Advice from manager of packing houses to hold their fruit, so far as possible, until better prices came, combined with shortage of power for operation, lower lemon prices, and auction market congestion caused a market decline this week in shipments of citrus fruit. Almost no lemons were shipped from No. Orange-co, including Garden Grove, La Habra, Olive and Yorba Linda, and Valencia shipments fell to approximately 25 cars, compared with 550 last week. Several houses were closed for a day or two and some most of the week. Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia all cut shipments, the first shipping only 89 cars, the second only 50, including the Dastanchury and C. C Chapman ranches, and the third but 28. Whether there was concerted purpose in reducing shipments or not, the effect was to pull up prices on smaller sizes slightly, according to J. H Ritchie, manager of the Anaheim Co-op Orange Assn. Ritchie confirmed the opinion of another manager that if fruit were held and small sizes properly distributed week by week, better prices for the small fruit could be obtained later in the season. At present small sizes are practically a drug on the market, while good sizes as before have been bringing good money. Discussing the question of the cause of small sizes, Ritchie mentioned particularly climatic conditions. At the same time the large proportion of such fruit appeared a little puzzling to him. The condition is general. BELDEN ASSERTS HE WAS COERCED B. R.

FLAYS PACIFISTS AS UNFAIR WASHINGTON, July 26. — Branding as "unfair" and "misleading" the methods being employed by certain Pacifist organizations in organizing defense Day, President Coolidge today rebuked National Council for prevention of war for its opposition to national preparedness. In a letter to Frederick J. Libby, executive secretary of the organization, the president said, commenting on the war department's plan in setting aside a Jay for the observance of national defense: "Instead of being a military gesture, this plan is the exact opposite. It is a non-militarist point the professional military organization of the United States." "It seems unfair that the plans for defense day should be condemned out of hand, simply thru the device of misrepresentation." The President said the September maneuvers were merely a compliance with the purposes of the national defense law of 1920, designed to bring home to the nation the need for voluntary peace time preparation for home defense. He condemned the tactics of the pacifists in dubbing the defense as a mobilization day. "It is not a mobilization," he said, "and the people who first attached to it the term 'mobilization day' and then proceeded to condemn it have been utterly unfair." Mr. Coolidge explained that he is in hearty sympathy with all efforts to make war an impossibility.

(IN THE SUMMER HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION) BIG SLANDER SUIT COMES UP MONDAY Countywide interest in manifest in the slander suit in superior court against Lee Pfau, brought by Lew Wallace of Newport Beach, which will come up for trial Monday. The Newport Beach banker and city treasurer demands $50,000 damages of Pfau, a resident of Balboa, alleging that the latter slandered him in statements made on the public streets and before witnesses. When asked for an expression as to how long it would take to try the case, Wallace was unable to state, but he was emphatic in the declaration that Pfau had "absolutely nothing on him" on which to base his charges of graft, juggling of harbor funds, or plain thievery, as claimed to have been made by Pfau. "I intend to prove to the satisfaction of every person in Orange-co. that the records of the harbor commission, which I served as secretary, are as true and correct as an accountant can make them," he declared.

"I found this girl with her arm around my husband," Mrs. Shanks told the court. "He had been with her all week, and I could stand it no longer. Last night my suspicions about them were confirmed. I went after her then and first I beat her with a stick. Then I fought with me" CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO July 26—The indirect charge that the prosecution has introduced into the Leopold-Leob murder trial "fabricated testimony" for the purpose of "intimidating" Justice John R. Caverly, in whose hands rest the life or death of the young slayers of Robert Franks, was suddenly shot into the record this morning by Clarence Darrow, chief of the defense counsel, who is engaged in the greatest right of his career in trying to save Nathan Leopold and "Dickle" Leob from the gallows. CHICAGO, July 26—"Logally sane, perhaps, but pathologically queer." That, in substance, it was learned today, will be the peg on which the attorneys and alienists will seek to hang their contention that Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Leob should not go to the gallows for the brutal kidnapping and murder of little Robert Franks, but instead should be confined in prison for the rest of their natural lives. The weird moral code of young Leopold, built up on the strange foundation that "murder is no crime, the crime is in getting caught" was spread upon the records of this unusual trial today, and the attorneys for the young collegians looked upon it as one of their best cards. They were going to ask, when the proper time comes: "How can anyone holding such a belief as that be anything else but pathologically insane?" The dapper young student did not shrink when Detective Sergeant James C. Gortland bentled to the coldness and lack of feeling which characterized his demeanor after he was arrested and confessed that he hasashed in the boy's head with a chisel and stuffed his naked little body into a water drain.

Try a Classified Ad for recalls. How can anyone hold such a belief as that anything else but pathologically insane? The dapper young student did not shrink when Detective Sergeant James C. Gortland battled to the coldness and lack of feeling which characterized his demeanor after he was arrested and confessed that he bashed in the boy's head with a chisel and stuffed his naked little body into a water drain. Clarence Darrow, rated as one of the greatest criminal lawyers in the country, says he may speak for two full days in his summing up this strange, unreal murder case, is getting ready to ask: "Can these boys be normal and act as they have acted?" The decision then will be up to Justice John R. Caverly. He is both judge and jury. The chances of appeal from his decision are considered slight. The state cannot appeal. Darrow can, if the decision goes against him, but the pathway of an appeal is a tortuous one, beset with many difficulties and the end uncertain. The two slayers came into the court this morning for the sixth session with all their customary sangroff. They were bright and chatty in the "bull pen" off the court room while waiting for court to open. They discarded the pretty girls that daily come and watch their little drama. "The one with the black hat on yesterday was one little peach," said Nathan Jr. He sighed. Little peaches are not likely to play much of a part in the rest of his life. Sergeant Gortland, who gave such an intimate account of his conversations with Leopold, was recalled to the stand when today's session opened, and subjected to a searching cross-examination at the hands of Darrow. He was the first witness to be favored by the chief defense counsel. Darrow inquired minutely into his police career, and his method of making notations on his conversations he had with pold. Gortland said he had some notes, others he had in his head. Some of the office staff was in show Darrow demanded. (Continued on Page)
