Military authorities at the pre-dio took charge of the situation. Thunder Showers in North. California SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 15. "Pupe" Pluvius retired to the seclusion of his quarters again today, following a series of spectacular thunder showers throughout No. Calif., yesterday, accompanied by very light showers which the U.S. weather bureau described as being too light to afford any relief to parched areas of lands. Precipitations reported by the bureau included: Del Monte, .10; Paso Robles, .02; Mount Hamilton, .01; San Jose, thunder storm but no precipitation; Summit, .12. Sacramento showed only a slight trace of moisture after a thunderstorm. The forecaster reported no immediate outlook for further rainfall. DIES AFTER DRINKING POISON Patient At Sanitary Takes Cyanide and Succumbs at Once Walter Stanley Childs of Belley, 34, committed suicide Saturday at the Anaheim sanarium, while in a spell of despair, by drinking a glass of nide. An inquest was held at 2 yesterday at Backs, Territory Campbell funeral parlors on Lemon-st, the verdict being dered that he came to his Conflagration at Three Millions MONTEREY, Sept. 15—This old seaport, one time capital of California and popular beach resort, today was under virtual martial law as a great oil fire which already has taken a possible toll of six lives and $2,500,000 in property damage roared on unchecked. Military authorities at the pre-dio took charge of the situation when after a fourth explosion the oil fire, started by a bolt of lightning which has been raging for 24 hours, spread into New Monterey and burned six homes. Soldiers who have been on the fire line since early yesterday, and civilians turned hastily to the work of erecting dykes across all streets and other possible channels through which the burning oil liberated by explosions can run town and destroy it. The whole population of the town spent the night on the hills fringing the bay, fearful that another gasoline explosion might shower a flaming rain upon the town and estroit it. Two of the known dead are soldiers, Private Robert Beele of headquarters Eleventh Cavalry and E. Watkins of E Battery, who perished late yesterday afternoon when the first of six great oil storage tanks boiled over sending a flaming torrent of oil down upon 600 soldiers and half as many civilians who were working to remove government property from warehouse in the path of the flames. Four others are reported to have lost their lives but their identity may never be known. Many are reported missing but authorities believed today that when the excitement dies down they will be found safe. Scores are burned from being showered by blazing oil. All of the hospitals and sanitariums have their quota of burned persons and local physicians and nurses were kept busy treating others who were less seriously burned. The gasoline tanks of the Standard Oil Company were still in the path of the flames early today. One exploded shortly after 6 o'clock shaking the whole country-side. The fire presented an awe-inspiring spectacle. The giant 55,000 barrel steel tanks, as they burned gave off huge clouds of flame, tinged smoke. As the fire within literally boiled its way over the steel sides of the tank, tidal waves of fire were loosened on the Montery water front. Each of these waves took a fresh toll. First went the Association Oil Co.'s wharf and pumping plant. Then two big fish canneries, Monterey's chief industry, and swiftly the flames spread to the government wharves and warehouse. FIRPO FACES DEPORTATION HEARING NEW YORK, Sept. 15. — Luis Angel Firpo, Argentine heavy-weight prizefighter, appeared before Inspector W. W. Brown, chief of the law division of the Department of Labor at Ellis Island, to face deportation charges because of allegations that he brought a Cuban manicurist to this country and of perjury at a previous hearing. The proceedings were secret. It was announced that final decision would be made by Secretary of Labor Davis in Washington. It is alleged that "the bull of the Pampas" brought Blanca Lourdes Picart into the country from Havana in July, 1923, and attempted to bring her in a second time on the steamship American Legion on July 21 of this year. Miss Picart was held at Ellis Island and then sent on to Havana. Firpo was allowed to land. He is charged with perjury because of statements he made at the hearing at that time when he denied he had brought the woman to the United States. Firpo, looking glum, arrived at Ellis Island, accompanied by his attorney, Hyman Bushell, and his interpreter, Juan Homs. None of the three had anything to say for publication. Canon Chase of Brooklyn, who has led the fight to have Firpo deported, also arrived with attorneys, witnesses and an armed guard to assist the government in pressing the charges. Bernard Sandler, attorney for Chase, announced that Benjamin Greenberg, the armed detective present, was there "because attempts had been made and were still being made to intimidate government witnesses." In addition to Canon Chase and William Wilmmer, formerly secretary to Firpo, witnesses included Madame Nita Pesci, landlady of a New York house, where Canon Chase alleges Firpo lived: Hugh Sacramento showed only a slight trace of moisture after a thunderstorm. The forecaster reported no immediate outlook for further rainfall. Takes Cyanide and Succumbs at Once Walter Stanley Childs of Belley, 34, committed suicide Saturday at the Anaheim station, while in a spell of despair, by drinking a glass of nide. An inquiry was held at 2 o'clock yesterday at Backs, Territory Campbell funeral parlor on Lemon-st., the verdict being dered that he came to his aid as the result of cyanide poisoning. He had been a patient at local sanitarium since September coming there for a minor aline. He is said to have worried how he was going to make nancial ends meet for his week planned soon.

A very important gathering be held tonight to arrange The fire presented an awake-spring spectacle. The giant 55-000 barrel steel tanks, as they burned gave off huge clouds of flame, tinged smoke. As the fire within literally boiled its way over the steel sides of the tank, tidal waves of fire were loosened on the Monterey water front. Each of these waves took a fresh toll. First went the Association Oil Co.'s wharf and pumping plant. Then two big fish canneries, Monterey's chief industry, and swiftly the flames spread to the government wharves and warehouse. The next to fall prey to the flames was Chinatown and early today the fire communicated to the newer portion of the city in one of its finest residential sections. The fire started on the property of the Association Oil Co. and their loss was estimated to be more than $1,000,000. Thousands of sightseers had narrow escapes and the word for soldiers and civilians to abandon their posts in the path of the flames came barely in time. A gasoline reservoir in the path of the burning oil exploded with terrific force, the concussion being heard for miles inland. This spread the blaze to other oil tanks on the farm" and then late last night the sweep of burning oil into the ocean turned into the Standard Oil Co.'s neighboring plant, where additional gasoline tanks exploded. The field of fire, covering approximately 20 acres from the base of the military reservation to the water front, throughout the night gave off a red glow which lit the sky for miles. Cost of soldiers under command or Colonel Herbert J. Brees and other regular army officers kept back the venturesome and directed the work of throwing up embankments and dykes to turn back a possible flood on oil from the town. The scorching heat of the flames can be felt for a mile. Waters of the bay are hot from the flood of burning oil poured on its surface. Only the jurid glow of the burning oil lighted Pacific Grove and New Monterey throughout the night, the sweep of the flaming oil having burned out the power transmission lines. Bernard Sandler, attorney for Chase, announced that Benjamin Greenberg, the armed detective present, was there "because attempts had been made and were still being made to intimidate government witnesses." In addition to Canon Chase and William Widmer, formerly secretary to Firpo, witnesses included Madame Nita Pesci, landlady of a New York house, where Canon Chase alleges Firpo lived; Hugh P. Gartiland, a Newark, N.J., fight promoter, who was with Firpo in South America; Bennie Brumel, an elevator boy at the New York house; Dr. Philip Palery, a chiropractor who treated Miss Pleart, and Harry Finger, a roomer at the house.

DAVIS MAKES SMASHING ATTACK NELSON'S FARM, BUNCETON, Mo., Sept. 15.—Charging the Republican party with placing special privilege, greed and corruption in high office, John W. Davis delivered a smashing attack here today upon the Harding-Coolidge administration in his drive to capture the grain belt. Speaking before 75,000 Misourians at a barbouse on the farm of Dr. Nelson, Democratic candidate for governor, Davis drew a wide campaign issue between his own pledge for "honesty in government" and the record of Republican candidates in the last two years. He also renewed his pledges of governmental aid to distressed agriculture. The rally was the largest ever held in Missouri's history. Twenty special trains rolled crowds into the town of Syracuse, four miles from the Nelson home. Five thousand automobiles were parked in nearby fields. The throngs crowded ten acres of land. Davis left his special train at Syracuse and was escorted by automobile to the farm. During the last-two miles of this race down rural highways, the nominee's car plowed through a line of people.

GIVING Sunday Red Letter Day for Rev. Myers and Christian Church Sunday was a red letter day for protestantism and the Christian church of Anaheim. Members and friends of that congregation assembled in cash and pledges over $85,000 in the most wonderful demonstration of free will giving ever seen in Orange co. Subscriptions ranging from $5000 down to a dollar bill under U.S. WORLD FLIERS AT CHICAGO CHICAGO, Sept. 15 — The three United States Army round the world flyers landed at Maywood field at 12:55 p.m. today while sirens, gongs, whistles and noisy making device in Chicago gave them welcome. Thousands who had waited on the outskirts of the field for hours sent up a mighty cheer as the planes circled the field and glided gracefully to the ground. The planes first hove into sight about 15 minutes earlier and were visible from the loop just as the towering buildings poured out their thousands for the lunar hour. "There they are—" It was the cry taken up and carried along by the jostling throngs. Traffic in the loop was virtually suspended. Automobiles and street cars stopped. "L." Arabs waited momentarily at stations and the crowds forgot their unstory lunch hour rush as they craned their necks and paid homage to the airmen. Shrieking whistles of the steel mills in South Chicago first gave notice that the flyers were ap proaching the city. They were escorted from the Indiana line by seven planes from Chute Field. Rantoul' Ill. The flagship, Chicago, piloted by Lieut. Lowell H. Smith, flight commander, was the first to land. Major Gen. Harry C. Hale, U.S.A., commanding the Sixth Corps Area, was the first to greet the airmen. Lieut. Nelson climbed down from his machine was seized by an enthusiastic woman and soundly kissed, while thousands watched her. For a moment the flyer seemed stunned and he half-struggled to release himself from the embrace. "Why, Mrs. Palmer, what a surprise—," he said. "My husband taught him to fly," said the woman, who identified herself as Mrs. O. S. Palm. Authoritative, but rough preliminary estimates of California's 1924-25 orange and lemon crops, made public today, put the former at 60,000 cars and the latter at 13,750. The former would mean some 5,000 cars more than the 1923-24 total, while the latter is substantially the same as this season's aggregate. Asked what he thought of the estimate Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Ass'n said he regarded them as rather high. They also could only be considered as very preliminary, because the growth of the orange and weather conditions might alter them one way or the other. Asked what the Anaheim district's crop would be Sandilands estimated it conservatively at 3000 cars or three-fourths of normal. "That is a good conservative figure," said the manager. MOVIE ACTOR IN BAD FALL AT BEACH Seriously and painfully wounded, Frank Simons, 30, is lying in Angeles hospital suffering from an accident late Saturday and rushed there in the Huddlie ambulance the same evening, following emergency treatment, at the beach city. Mr. Simons, a member of the Mack Sennett Co., was engaged in pictures and fell from a scaffolding 20 feet high, built on a raft, when a strong wave crushed the crab and the heavy timbers fell upon him. The exact nature of his injuries had not been determined but a broken back and internal injuries were suspected. CLERK BACKS "LETS GEORGE DO IT" Until he receives orders to the contrary, County Clork J. M. Backs will refuse to recognize petitions aimed at placing on ballots for the coming election the names of LaFollette electors, he stated today. Mandamus proceedings pending in Marin county courts, brought Sunday Red Better Day for Rev. Myers and Christian Church Sunday was a red letter day for protestantism and the Christian church of Anaheim. Members and friends of that congregation assembled in cash and pledges over $5,000 in the most wonderful demonstration of free will giving ever seen in Orangeco. Subscriptions ranging from $5000 down to a dollar bill under the inspiration of the dedicated Geo. L. Snively, poured into the secretaries of the church in a torrent. The church bonds which represent actual indebtedness are for ten years. All pledges to redeem these bonds cover a period of five years. The giving was so spontaneous and hilarious that Rev. Leon L. Myers minister, finally and before the day was over told the audience that they had enough. The debt was announced as $50,000.00, but to cover interest and shrinkage $60,000 was asked. When that was immediately subscribed the suggestion was made that $7,500 be subscribed to build a parsonage. This was immediately subscribed. Then the suggestion was made that another $7,500 be subscribed for a great organ. This was subscribed. Then it was suggested that an additional $5,000 be subscribed as an endowment to take care of local benevolences. This proved so popular that $10,000 was subscribed for this fund, making a total of $5,000. Klansmen were here from all over the Southland. They formed a parade that was the greatest demonstration ever staged in this vicinity in behalf of a church. The popularity of Leon L. Myers as a minister reaches all over the state and the ability to do things as demonstrated by this wonderful triumphant victory for his church stands out as a striking repudiation of the newspaper stories to the effect that Mr. Myers would be repudiated by his church. While his enemies were busy denouncing him he was going about with a smile that won't come off and doing a constructive work that offsets all the insinuations of those who would hinder and destroy. The afternoon was a very beautiful service beginning with the Lord's Supper. After this the presence of those who had gone on before was made apparent as Mrs. McClellan called attention in a very touching manner to their lives and contributions to the cause of Christ. H. S. Leavitt followed by bringing to mind those who had been called from the Bible school to the better home. Then followed a presentation to the ministry of a bounty Lieut Nelson climbed down from his machine was seized by an enthusiastic woman and soundly kissed, while thousands watched her. For a moment the flyer seemed stunned and he half-struggled to release himself from the embrace. "Why, Mrs. Palmer, what a surprise—," he said. "My husband taught him to fly," said the woman, who identified herself as Mrs. O. S. Palmier. Lieut Wade rescived an osculatory welcome.
