This news, made public today by Manzger Dale King of the No. Orange-co Citrus Exchange, is the best that has reached growers in months. Chinese Situation Full of Dynamite SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5—The present situation in China is one full of dynamite, Jacob Gould Schurman, American minister to China, declared upon his arrival here today enroute to Washington for a conference with Secretary of State Hughes on Chinese affairs. "While I believe the chances are against a serious war," the American minister declared, "I recognize its serious possibilities. The Shanghai warfare might prove a spark to kindle a general Chinese conflagration." If a general conflict occurs the diplomat frankly admitted, foreign interference to protect life and property might be necessary. WAR PLANES USED FIRST ATTEMPT TO EMBARRASS COUNCIL This is Answer of Mayor Metcalf to Petition To Return Pole An attempt to embarrass the administration, was the answer Mayor E. H.

State Shipped Ten Per Cent More in August Than Anticipated California shipped 10 per cent more fruit to Sept. 1 than was anticipated Aug. 1, and Orange-co shipped 65 per cent of the total. This news, made public today by Manager Dale King of the No. Orange-co Citrus Exchange, is the best that has reached growers in months. Coming at a time when prices are better perhaps than ever before this season and following estimates of declines month after month, the announcement is especially gratifying. King estimates that the state will ship 4800 to 5,000 carats vet. Growth and more oranges than had been supposed were on the trees account for the jump in the estimate. Small sides have enlarged to some extent. Asked whether the third and fourth pools would prove more profitable than either the first or second, King agreed that they would, so far as could be foreseen. Some houses haven't yet completed the third pool, while in a few instances the third pool hasn't been started yet. Lemons are looking up now, and with a crop 75 to 100 per cent larger than last year prospects are good for excellent returns, according to one of the local managers. OPPOSES CONFAB ON DISARMAMENT NEVA, Sept. 5.—Emier Harriot, socialist head of the French government today came out in direct opposition to the suggestion of Premier Ramsay MacDonald of England for a world disarmament conference. Addressing the League of Nations assembly and speaking in the name of France, Harriot declared that the proper place for disarmament discussions was within the league. He declined the offer to work for another conference such as was held at Washington several years ago for limitation of sea armaments. Harriot's statement was generally regarded as the death knell for another international parley such as desired by President Coolidge and Premier MacDonald. Harriot expressed the hope that the United States will collaborate with the league of nations for disarmament. BLOCK JAIL BREAK NEAR BOY SLAYERS CHICAGO, Sept. 5.—An attempted jail break which would have freed a confined murderer. If a general conflict occurs the diplomat frankly admitted, foreign interference to protect life and property might be necessary. WAR PLANES USED FIRST IN CHINA SHANGHAI, Sept. 5—In an effort to break down the morale of the Kinag Su army, the Chekiang forces today began an aerial bombardment of the enemy's lines. Six airplanes, piloted by Russian aviators, crossed the Kiang Su lines between Huang Tu and Liuho, dropping bombs. No reports have been received as to the results of the bombing. The Chekiang forces have a fleet of 32 planes, and the Kiang Su forces eight. Their employment in the civil hostilities now in progress marks the first attempt at aerial warfare in China. The Kiang Su forces are expected to retaliate by bombing the Chekiang lines and some fears were expressed they may drop bombs on this city. The troops on both sides at noon today apparently had settled down to steady firing from their entrenchments. No gains were reported from either military headquarters. General Ho Feng Lin, defense commissioner of Shanghai, claims that the Chekiang forces are successfully beating back the Kiang Su troops under General Chih Sieh Yuan. These troops have been trying to advance upon this city along the Shaghai-Nanking railroad to seize the arsenal. So far Shanghai is not in danger, but the foreign warship commanders have taken precautions to protect foreigners living here in case fighting gets within danger distance. The spectre of famine, ever present in China, reared its head here today. The million Chinese residents of Shanghai, always but one step ahead of the direct poverty, are now verging on starvation as a result of the influx the past week of more than 300,000 refugees and the complete cutting off of the sources of supply of rice and meat. The price of rice, the Chinese This is Answer of Mayor Metcalf to Petition To Return Pole An attempt to embarrass the administration, was the answer to Mayor E. H. Metcalf last night when city council was present with a petition containing seven hundred names asking that the flag pole be returned to the intersection of Los Angeles and Center sta. Atty. Leonard Evans, speaking for the petitioners, urged that the flag pole be returned at once that it would be in place for National Defense Test Day. Mayor Metcalf, asking that Councilman Knipe take the president's chair, spoke for several minutes, using very plain language in his denunciation of "those who would use the flag for partisan purposes." "I am aware," said the mayor, "that there is an undercurrent at tempting to grasp every opportunity to heckle and embarrass this administration. The removal of the flagpole is a mere incident that has been sledged to create a much trouble as possible. "The flagpole was removed by the public improvement committee at the request of the police department to facilitate the handling of traffic. It was not done on the spur of the moment; as some have been led to believe, but after deliberation and consultation with a number of citizens, including American Legion members, who agreed that the increasing traffic problem made its removal not only advisable but a necessity. Answering an objection of Attorney Evans that there was no record on the minutes of decision to remove the pole, the mayor stated that the pole was placed there without ordinance and could be removed with approval of a majority of the council. "If I thot a majority of the citizens, for patriotic or sentimental reasons, really desired the pole in the center of the street, I would be one of the first to see that it was replaced, regardless of the traffic hazard," continued the mayor. "However, I firmly believe that not more than five percent of the signers to this petition were actuated by sentiment or patriotism. A great many signers are trouble makers. However, the bulk are those who will sign almost any kind of a petition simply because they dislike to turn down the one presenting it." On motion, the council referred the petition to the public improvement committee. Chairman Hanson of the public improvement committee stated today that a mechanical traffic signal was being considered for the place where the flagpole originally stood. One will be tried there in Herriot's statement was generally regarded as the death knell for another international parley such as desired by President Coolidge and Premier MacDonald. Herriot expressed the hope that the United States will collaborate with the league of nations for disarmament. BLOCK JAIL BREAK NEAR BOY SLAYERS CHICAGO, Sept. 5.—An attempted jail break which would have freed a convicted murderer occupying a cell on the tier above those in which Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb was waiting sentence, was frustrated at the county jail here last night, it became known today. The jailers, obtaining information thru the jail "grapevine" system that "trouble was brewing," found an 18-foot rope made from clothing and bits of wire from the jail cots in the cell occupied by Russell Scott, convicted murderer. In other cells razor blades, bits of broken wire bent for picking locks, and pieces of broken mirrors were found. FULLERTON C. OF C. RAPS BOND ISSUE Fullerton C. of C. directors went on record yesterday afternoon against the $500,000,000 water and power bill to be presented at the closing election. The board branded the bill as "victory," and said that it would result in financial retardation.

The spectre of famine, ever present in China, reared its head here today. The million Chinese residents of Shanghai, always but one step ahead of the direct poverty, are now verging on starvation as a result of the influx the past week of more than 300,000 refugees and the complete cutting off of the sources of supply of rice and meat. The price of rice, the Chinese staff of life, already has doubled. Charitable organizations are seeking funds for the purchase of supplies to be sold to the population at regular prices. A serious menace to health is also seen as a result of the almost indescribable crowding in the native quarters. The wildest anxiety clouds the Chinese population as the conscription of coolies proceeds and an ever greater stream of wounded pours in from the battle front. Some looting has occurred in the native city. Many shops have closed. Popular anger against the soldiers is growing. Several conscripted coolies have jumped into the creek to escape. A huge mob stoned the soldiers guarding the railway station until the police intervened and dispersed the angry crowd. The foreign police are picking up stray soldiers, disarming and deporting them. FULLERTON PLANS FOR DEFENSE DAY Plans for Fullerton's observance of National Defense Day Sept. 12, were discussed last night at a meeting of the citizens' committee, headed by Dick Gregory, chairman. The committee, which was appointed by Mayor H. H. Crooke, is acting in conjunction with the board of trustees. Cooperation between the civic bodies in the city in making the program an out-and-around one is urged. Tentative plans include an evening program, followed by a parade, a concert by the city band, patriotic exercises, speeches and a street dance. Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results.

Referring to a report that council had moved the flagpole at night, Hasson declared: "The pole was taken away at 7:20 o'clock in the morning. When would they want it moved—at the height of traffic on Saturday afternoon?" City Marshall Bert Moody declared today that while it took the hardest kind of effort by two officers to handle the traffic unsatisfactory on a Saturday or Sunday evening while the flag pole was there, one officer handled with ease the heaviest traffic in the history of the city last Monday afternoon when vacationers were returning from the double holiday at the beaches. Councilmen today pointed out that when the flagpole was erected there was no city hall nor city park with handsome poles from which the flag floats; also, that with the backing of the council arrangements had been completed to erect 150 12-ft. flagpoles along (Continued on Page Two) FULL REPORT OF INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE—FIRST LEASED WIRE IN ANAHEIM THE ORANGE COUNTY Plain Dealer LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Friday, September 5, 1924 HOOT MAN FOR ROBBERY TEMPT TO MBARRASS COUNCIL is Answer of Mayor Metcalf to Petition To Return Pole attempt to embarrass the adtion, was the answer of E.

He had been there all night, according to the rumor. By a strange coincidence, reporters who for nights have been trailing the prince—or trying to—in the hope of finding out exactly how he spends his time, had nosed their way to this same cabaret. They learned that a handsome young chap, about the prince's age and build, accompanied by a very pretty young woman, had arrived at the place last night, well before midnight. They found a car of foreign make parked in front of the place. The license number was N.Y. 676-918. The car register lists that number as having been issued to James Abercrombie Burden, who happens to be the host of the prince at Syossett. The young man and his fair companion, their faces hidden, stepped into this car at 4:40 and were whisked away and the reporters had no opportunity to ask a single question or get a good look as the young woman's escort. Telephone calls to Syossett revealed that the prince at that hour had not arrived home. He did get there later, at about the time it would have taken the auto to get from Broadway to Syossett. SYOSSETT, N.Y., Sept. 5.—H.R., the Prince of Wales, returned home very late—or very early, as you like—again today. Just what time the distinguished visitor reached the royal bed? Major M. B. Wellington Gives Interesting Talk to Lions If the nation must have police and courts of justice, it must similarly have an army as a matter of insurance. This was one of several interesting things said today by Major M. B. Wellington of Santa Ana in a talk before the Lions' Club on "Defence Test Day." The club endorsed the program for the day's celebration here. War he admitted, was fundamentally wrong, but an army for police purposes was necessary. Unpreparedness was costly in blood and money. In a company consisting of 80 regulars and the rest reserves or civilians, the influence of the former sufficed, said the speaker, to bring up the standard of the entire personnel. It required 16 months to prepare our forces for entrance into the late war. Those who can declare war are not the ones who fight in the ranks, but the young men of 18 to 24 are. The Defence Test Day consisted of a big plan by which to show the nation's resources in man power of the regular army, national guard and reserves. Places of headquarters as well as numbers and character of forces are noted. Major Wellington compared the day to school drills to prevent fire. The minds of people, continued the speaker, have not yet advanced to the point where war is made impossible. A message of regret was phoned to Clyde F. Cromer, who is ill. The entertainment consisted of solos by Mrs. Walter Ross, accompanied by Mrs. Ruth Seitz and by Glenn Merrill, accompanied by Miss Gladys Merrill. Vie Loly gave a five-minute talk. Kurt Epstein was given a volume on "What a Young Husband Should Know." LARGEST STILL FOUND IN COUNTY What was declared today to be the biggest still ever found in Orange-coast was unearthed last night in a barn near Talbert. Ten truck loads of equipment and supplies were carted to Santa Ana by deputies of Sheriff Sam Jernigan. John Rouse, 22, was held by Deputies McClellan and French. He is charged with manufacturing.

H., the Prince of Wales, returned home very late—or very early, as you like—again today. Just what time the distinguished visitor reached the royal bed-chamber no one seems to know. At any rate, he was sleeping away another glorious September morning today with indications that his slumber might be prolonged until the afternoon. Mystery again enveloped the prince's movements of the night. No one, save perhaps members of his personal staff—and they are not telling—knows what he did with his time after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon when he was last seen playing golf on the Long Island estate of J. S. Cosden, oil magnate. Capt. A. F. Lascelles, the prince's quay, said he was unable to account for the hours during which the scion of royalty played hide and seek with harassed reporters. He said the prince came in "very late" last night, was still asleep and had made no plans for today. Some little apprehension cropped up today among the prince's party that the American public was getting his royal highness all wrong. There was a fear among these close to the British crown heir that the United States hears mostly of Wales' playing polo, going to舞, dancing at teas, at dinners and dancing at suppers that last until five in the morning, it is beginning to believe him little more than a "jazz hound" who some day may try, on the throne, to catch up on his sleep. "The prince came here for a holiday," said a spokesman for Wales. "He does not intend to do a tap of work until he leaves the United States on Sept. 18. Since his boyhood the prince has had little time to himself.

Fair and warm tonight and Saturday 27th YEAR—No. 314 ROBBING GROVE Earliest Nevada Inhabitants May Have Been Mongoloid (By W. H. Buntin) (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) The prehistoric hieroglyphics and on the rocks near Virginia which inspired a discussion the possibility that man originated on the western continent are translated today as Chinese William P. Fong, senior student at the University of Nevada, long a former student at theiversity of Canton, Ohio, accompanied by a party of univer- of Nevada scientists, recog-ed several of the petrographic pictographs as "boss" or "chief", a wold, wooded grotto, trees, temple, cover, year, the "up down" characters and several long places these characters, such heretofore have only been a matter of conjecture, in the Chan dynasty of Chinese history, or approximately 2500 B. C. No comprehensive narrative or history was procured from the translations due mainly to the fact that "desert varnish" an iron film deposited throutout the centuries, covered many of the writings. The pictographs were produced by the aboriginal people by first chipping an outline in the rock face, then filling out the lines and finishing by rubbing the cuts smooth. Several of the drawings of animals are in red ochre and a black substance, presumably charcoal. The rock writings exist in two forms, those resembling the ancient Chinese characters and those in pictograph form, mostly animals.
