Anaheim Who Confessed to Mail Robbery can Spend Xmas at Home
J. L. Findlay will be with his family again at Christmas, a free man.
Findlay, who tried to explain by confessing his crime of participating in the theft of $23,000 from a pouch of registered mail of the Anaheim postoffice last December, was given a sentence of two months at the county jail, Santa Ana, by Federal Judge Benjamin Bledsoe in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon. It was Findlay's confession that furnished practically all the evidence that convicted J. R. Abernathy, former superintendent of grammar schools, and sent him to Loavenworth prison. Abernathy also was sentenced to pay a heavy fine. Nearly two-thirds of the booty was recovered.
J. U. Hemmil charged with receiving part of the stolen money, will be tried in December, the date being set ahead. Some $5500 was found in a michelin in Hemmil's back yard at Torrance. Hemmil formerly was an attorney here.
Findlay's relatives were practically the only Anaheimers present when sentence was passed.
The Anaheimer's financial difficulties prevail to his employment as a letter carrier and his confession did much to soften the local public's attitude toward him. Findlay declared he been only a tool of Abernathy's and that the latter had been the ring-leader.

LABOR CHIEF DENOUNCES COMMUNISM
LONDON, Oct. 7—England's Labor premier, Ramsay MacDonald, denounced Communism in a speech before the annual Labor party conference today. He revealed that there should be a clean break between the Labor and Liberal parties as a result of the motion in commons to investigate the quashing of a criminal case against the editor of a Communist paper.
A general election before Christmas is now regarded as certainty. It is believed that the Laborite cabinet will resign after the Tory motion of conscience is brought up in commons tomorrow MacDonald probably will ask the king to dissolve commons and summon a national election.
There was an enthusiastic demonstration when the premier appeared on the floor of the Labor party conference. He outlined the successes of the Laborite government, adding:
"We did not hope to create a new world out of our imagination. But we do believe that the old world is beginning to show a new response to a newly created spirit. I think we have succeeded in that."
MacDonald declared that British unemployment had been lessened and that the budget is now more favorable to the working man. The next budget, he said, would be even more favorable. He praised the Dawes reparations plan, saying it gave the necessary machinery "to bring us back to wisdom." The premier was without illusion, and warned that there are still troubled waters ahead.
After attacking Communism, he turned to the Liberals, declaring that former Premier H. H. Asquith's speech indicated that "the Liberals expect the Laborites to eat out of their hand."
The Liberals' inquiry motion, the premier charged, "was conceived in a spirit of medieval crookedness and torture."
He continued: "But we shall costume Parade and Street Dance Be Features"

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 7.—Declaring that the reign of crime in the United States is largely due to the lack of religious training in public schools, the Rev. George L.

DECRY RADIO MONOPOLY TENDENCY
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—The cry against monopoly, a plea that the air be kept free for the millions of Americans who nightly derive entertainment from the invisible waves that dart thru the ether was raised here today at the opening session of the Third Radio Conference of the United States.
Led by See'y. of Commerce Herbert Hoover, who is to radio what Kenesaw Mountain Landis is to baseball, nearly 1,000 radio leaders of the country protested against control of aerial communication by any central group.
Addressing the conference; Hoover aid:
"It would be unfortunate indeed if such an important function as the distribution of information by radia should ever fall into the hands of the government."
"It would be still more unfortunate if its control should come under the arbitrary power of any persons."
The U. S. government has already launched an investigation of alleged monopolies in the manufacture of radio equipment, the federal trade commission having submitted a report on the subject to Atty. Gen. Stone. The department of justice, I was learned, is making a probe of the situation. No immediate action is anticipated.
Representing radio devotees of America, Secretary Hoover has already made a plea to congress for adequate legislation to protect the development of what he termed an institution that "has passed from the field of adventure to that of public utility."
Hundred of letters have poured into the department of commerce from users of everything from the little crystal sets to high priced 12-tube outfits demanding that the government exercise its power against illegal use of the air.
CITRUS FRUIT HITS $9 IN NEW YORK
Marking increasing contrast with the windup of the 1922-23 season, Orange-co valencias yesterday reached a new high level for the season $9.00 a box. The size is not mentioned, but if it was a box of 150s this price is six cents an orange before the wholesaler has gotten his price from the retailer or the latter from the consumer. It is a net of $6.65 to the grower, counting a refund of 15 cents a box.
The price was paid as usual on the New York auction market, which was full of "fireworks." For example, on the same market nine other lots of oranges brought $7 to $7.80, two lots sold a 8.45 and $8.05 and 10 lots at $6.05 to $6.95.
On other markets one lot sold at $7.55 and 11 lots at $6.00 or better.
Receipts were heavy at New York comparing with the peak of the season. Thirty-three cars of oranges and seven of lemons came in.
Eighty-six or more cars of oranges were sold on the principal markets.
The top price lemons was $6.30.

Mogridge Holds Giants To Three Hits in Seven Innings
POLO GROUNDS, New York, Oct. 7.—Behind the inspired pitching of George Mogridge, the Washington Senators arose upon their rear legs this afternoon and everlastingly beat the New York Giants, to 4. In consequence, the Senators carried the series to a tie again at two all, putting it squarely up to Johnson and Nehf to pitch their clubs into the lead tomorrow.
Washington had heroes in plenty today, Mogridge was thought to be badly spavined, in the pregame calculations yet he held the Giants to three hits in the sevent and a third innings he pitched.
George waxed wild in the eighth and was removed in favor of Marberry, but he wore the laurel just the same.
So did Goslin, who added to the gaiety of the occasion by socking four hits for a perfect average. One of them was his second home run of the series. It came at the expense of Barnes with McNeely and Harris languishing on the bases in the third innning, the ball failing in the lower tier of the right field stands. In all, Goslin drove in four Senatorial runs and scored two more purely as a personal and individual genius.
Stanley Harris, the boy manager, also lined up with the heroes. He made remarkable stops in retiring Frisch and Cowdy when the Giants threatened in the seventh. His relay of Rice's throw cutting down Meusel at the plate, in the eighth was also a bread winner.
So much for heroes. The "goats" were Barnes and Dean, who were socked indiscriminately by the Senators.
Another capacity crowd of 48,000 cheered the Senators to a hoarse echo. In fact, a casual loiterer outside the park might have been pardoned if he had imagined that the Giants had won.
Outside of Goslin's homer in the third, the remaining Washington runs were produced by singles by McNeely, Harris and Goslin in the fifth and by Goslin, Judge and Bluege in the eighth.
These gave the Senators a long lead, which they attempted to disassemble.
Mogridge walked Young and Meusel in the eighth and gave way to Marberry. Wilson doubled to right, scoring Young, but Meusel was cut down at the plate. Rice to Harris to Ruel, averting impending disaster.
Gowdy singled down the right field line to open the ninth and sped to third on Rice's carefree return. He scored on Lundstrom's
