Two Chinese giants, one eight feet two and the other seven feet three inches, will guard the gates of a New York theatrical enterprise if the department of immigration passes favorably on a request cabled from Peking for their admission to the United States. The two giants now have jobs as gate tenders at the Peking Zoological Gardens and should they be permitted to enter the United States, their journey will be reminiscent of the occasion when the Chinese emperor sent two giants as a present to the czar of Russia and the latter returned them with thanks, not knowing what to do with them. WEBB MO TO COLLE $1200 T City Attorney to Out Letter of Ving Today With more than $1,500 cuppational taxes still City Atty. William P. after a conference w P. Williams, license tax Industry Assessed This Year at $39,000,000; Total $144,000,000 If Orange-co. had three times as many oil wells as it has today, maybe all the rest of us wouldn't have to pay any taxes at all. As things stand now, County Asessor James Siceper's figures show the county's oil interests pay one-third of the tax total. In addition, they use taxes on $10,000,000 assessed valuation of their personal property. The oil companies were assessed in more than $32,000,000 this year. The county's total annual valuation was placed at $144,500,000. During the peak period of 1822 the assessed valuation of mineral rights was fixed at $2,999,000. This year, value was approximately $4,939,000 under that of 1822. Likewise it was $1,600,-000 under that of last year. This year's total, however, was $4,000,000 more than that established in 1921. Siceper, in making his report also divulged some more interesting information, one being that during the year he has collected more than $1,000,000 levied against unsecured property such as automobiles and furniture and other personal property owned by persons who do not own real estate. The sum of $1,130,000 was the amount collected this year, a slight decrease as compared to the titak for last year, but greater than in 1822, the record shows.

Herwig, superintendent of the Oregon Anti-Saloon league, were accorded great applause at a mass meeting here last night when they expressed their determination to cleanse Oregon of illicit liquor handlers.

OBTAIN JURY IN SLANDER City Attorney to Send Out Letter of Warning Today With more than $1200 in occupational taxes still unpaid, City Atty. William P. Webb, Jr., after a conference with Clyde P. Williams, license tax collector, was preparing a letter of warning this afternoon to be sent to all delinquents.

REPORT FACTORY TO LOCATE HERE From sources entirely outside the Anabeim C. of C. it was reported today that the chamber's industrial committee on Saturday evening had signed a contract with a manufacturing concern to establish a plant here in the 39-acre tract of the Community Industrial Land Co., Inc. No information whatever could be obtained from the Chamber itself, altho the industrial committee met this morning. The Corporation attorney, Thomas McFadden, also was present, and Sam Kraemer was a prominent figure. Speculation as to the nature of the industry was rife today. One of the largest entrepreneurs of the Southland, who long has been interested in Anaheim and vicinity, was mentioned as a possibility, but this man was understood to have wanted more average than the tract could afford. Development of the tract as a shipping point, with railway apurs and streets for trucks, has been delayed pending the completion of the first factory. Hence this industry, if obtained, will have a double significance for the city in launching the local OBTAIN JURY IN SLANDER ACTION In an atmosphere charged with expectations of the spectacular trial of the $50,000 slander suit brought by Lew H.

Worst Blaze in Cleveland National Reserve is Beyond Reach SAN FRANCISCO, July 28—Fanned by a high wind, the most serious fire in Cleveland National Forest this year was blazed out of control today after having totally destroyed more than 1,000 acres of brush and timber on both sides of Bautiste Canyon in the San Jacinto district.

All other sections of California were practically free of fire with the exception of the Crystal fire in Surikyou-co, which is reported under control with scores of men carefully guarding fire lines. LOEB-LEOPOLD DEFENSE NEAR END CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, July 28—Ignoring and somewhat contemptuous of the preliminary report of the defense alienist finding Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard A.Loeb having records of "alnormalities since childhood" the state went methodically ahead today in the court room of Justice John R.Caverly building even higher the mountain of evidence upon which it hopes to send the young collegians to-the scaffold for the murder of little Bobby Franks. Handwriting experts, typewriter experts, policemen, taxicab chauffeurs and others went in and out of the witness box to-day, each contributing his bit to the mountainous pile of information already collected in the case. The state made rapid progress toward closing its case. When the noon adjournment came at 12:10, only a few witnesses remained to be examined before the case of the state against the boys is completed and Crowe said he would probably conclude tomorrow. Then the "battle of the century" between the alienists will begin—the defense to prove that, while not legally insane, the young defendants are so abnor mal as to make it "criminal" to hang them and the state contending that they are sane and Franks was select and Leopold after reconnoitered there at Harvard school it was too risky to ay away.

Then the "battle of the century" between the alieners will begin—the defense to prove that, while not legally insane, the young defendants are so abnor mal as to make it "criminal" to hang them and the state contending that they are sane and responsible for their acts. When the session resumed this afternoon, the state continued its monotonous calling of witnesses which were already voluminous. Wallace Sulivan, a reporter on the Chicago Herald-Examiner, who worked on the crime and who discovered some of the evidence that incriminated Leopold and Loeb, told of talking with both youths while they were on a trip re-enacting the crime after the confessions. "I asked Leopold," said Sulivan, "whether he or Loeb actually killed young Franks. He said 'Loeb struck him.' I then told Loeb that Leopold said he had killed the boy. Loeb denied it and said 'I can prove I was driving the car and Franks was struck from behind.'" He said the two skylers were on the "outs" with each other apparently trying to throw the onto for the actual killing on each other. Court suspended at 4 o'clock until 10 o'clock tomorrow. State's attorney Crowe said he was hopeful of winding up the state's case tomorrow with the reading of the confessions made by the two youths. These will take several hours.

REYNOLDS (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July 28—Withdrawal or American diplomatic representatives from Persia unless that government makes adequate and prompt reparations because of the killing of Vice Consul Robert Imbrie, at Teheran, was threatened today by the U. S. government on one of the most blunt and outspoken notes that has ever been issued by the state department. The maintenance of diplomatic relations between Persia and the United States, said the American note, are dependent upon the according of "adequate protection to their respective nations and to their official representatives." The note was handed to the Persian authorities at Teheran by Joseph Saul Kornfeld, the American minister and Consul Imbrie's immediate superior. The American note was lengthy, but blunt. No words were minced in making it plain to Persian authorities that the United States regards the killing of Imbrie as serious and that adequate reparations will be expected. The sending of a warship to Persia, it was said at the state department, could not be construed as a military gesture, but in official quarters it was pointed out that the presence of a man-of-war flying the American flag in Persian waters would serve to convince the native authorities that this government was prepared to go the limit in enforcing its demands. The American note was delivered to the Persian foreign office at Teheran by Joseph Saul Kornfeld reminded the Persians of the earlier representations made by him immediately after the killing, declaring that the United States would expect "prompt punishment mated out to those responsible for the killing and to those who, by their failure to act, contributed to make possible this incident—unprecedented in recent times." Payment of reparations to Mrs. Imbrie, widow of the vice consul, and the paying of the expenses of sending a United States battleship to Persia to bring back Imbrie's body to this country for burial, were demanded of the Persian government in the note. "The government feels," the note declared, "that the continuance of its diplomatic and consular representation in Persia will be dependent upon the action which the Persian government may take in this case."
