All of the entrants in the exhibit are expected to have cars appearing also in the parade, which will open the show next Monday. Today one of the most prominent distributors of Santa Ana asked for enough space to exhibit four cars, Pierce Arrows and Marmona, on the floor. One of the Pierce-Arrows will be an $8,600 machine, which the company would hesitate to show under a tent. Another will be a Marmon with California top. The Cadillac Garage Co. will exhibit several Cadillacs. Branch Manager M. B. Lacy of the Anaheim office recently concluded the arrangements. The larger part of the local distributors already have signed up, and interest in the event steadily is growing. With no Orange-co. fair this year, no Valencia Orange Show last May and no events to take their places, distributors are only too glad of the opportunity to display the new models in a suitable place, hitherto lacking, like the Pythian Temple. Manager Davis today inspected the quarters and voiced his approval of their convenience and accessibility. Properly decorated, and with a fine line of the principal makes of cars on the floor, the show will be worth anybody's while to attend. Nightly entertainment features, including an orchestra, will be an additional attraction. In the parade next Monday morning, cars which appeared in the Orange Community Ford rodeo and in several different Santa Ana parades, but haven't been seen here, will be entered. Decorations of cars and possibly Decorations of cars and possibly of the streets will help make the week a gala one. CALIF. RAILROAD COMMON CARRIER WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—U.

U.S.CUTTER NABS BIG RUM SHIP SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13—The coast guard cutter Shawnee early today brought in the richest run prize captured since the 12-mile limit was established in which whiskey smuggling vessels may be seized. The vessel is the British steamer Quadra, a fast twin screw steamer, that cleared from Vancouver, B.C., with 120,000 cases of whiskey and champagne aboard. At prevailing bootleg prices, the cargo is valued at well over $500,-000, according to revenue officials. Her crew of 30 men were placed under arrest. According to Lieut. Commander Howell, in command of the Shawnee, the vessel was seized well within the 12-mile limit, six miles northwest of Farallon islands. With it was seized the small fishing boat C-55, which had just received a supply of liquor from the "mother ship." A shortage of fuel, it was reported, forced the Quadro within the 12-mile limit, effort of barges to refuel her on the high seas having been unsuccessful. Capture of a small vessel carrying a cargo of liquor ashore from the Quadra by the cutter Swift appressed revenue officials of the presence of the Quadra, in these waters, and the Shawnee took up its patrol with the resultant seizure. Captain Ford in command of the Quadra refused to make a statement prior to his consulting the British consul here. DROPPING NUTS ARE TOO GREEN Hold your green nuts, growers.

Fair today and Tuesday with moderate temperature 27th YEAR—No. 23 RES EARLY TODAY Who Would Favor Privately-Owned Sewer Service Now? By City Manager J. W. Price LAST SPRING this and other communities were confronted with a serious power shortage, one that threatened to be very disastrous to them, with the results that a power supervisor was appointed by the State, one who was empowered to restrict the use of electricity so as to make the available power last out the season. The City officials, aware of this fact, caused a survey to be made and all available information gathered to ascertain if it was possible to manufacture electricity as cheaply as we can buy it from the Edison Company. This report being favorable, the City Council has called an election to vote bonds to construct a municipal plant and the subsequent articles, as they appear from day to day, will give the citizens a report of this survey. The question of public or privately owned utilities is as old as the organization of governments and has been argued pro and con from that time to the present. I think the factors that are dividing the issues are others than the direct question itself. As the masses grow in knowledge so must the government grow in knowledge toward the water works and sewer and kindred branches. The early water works and sewer installations were almost universally privately owned and an effort was made by capital to get and control these utilities where they were given franchises that made them virtually monopolies.

All effective resistance came to an end with the capture of Lung Hua, headquarters of the defending Che Kiang forces at the famous Pagoda, five miles from the French concession and international settlement, which form the foreign part of the city of Shanghai. Cessation of the war in Shanghai’s environs. SHANGHAI, Oct. 13.—All available foreign defense units including the Shanghai volunteer corps, the police reserves and contingents from the 24 foreign war craft now in the harbor here, were ordered today to guard the boundaries of the foreign settlement here in anticipation of a general retreat on the city of 30,000 disorganized Che Kiang soldiers, following the decision of their leaders to surrender. The wildest confusion prevails in the field. No provisions were made for the surrender of the Che Kiang forces and fighting is still going on at Huang Tu, the troops being unaware of their leaders’ surrender. Thousands of civilian refugees are flocking into the city fearing the coming horde of leaderless der sanitation are water works and sewer and kindred branches. The early water works and sewer installations were almost universally privately owned and an effort was made by capital to get and control these utilities where they were given franchises that made them virtually monopolies. At this time there was not any branch of the government nor any laws to control them; these conditions made a fertile field for large returns on the investment. (Continued on Page Two) SHENANDOAH WILL START TOMORROW NORTH ISLAND, SAN DIEGO, Oct. 13.—The navy dirigible Shenandoah, delayed here because of repairs, again hung idly to her 170-foot mooring mast today and is not scheduled to leave for Camp Lewis, Wash., until 7:30 a.m. Commander Zachary Lansdowne in charge of the Shenandoah, issued a statement declaring the repairs to the broken aft girder, sustained Friday night, as well as the radio apparatus will have been completed today and the giant air liner will be made ready before nightfall today to punch off the first thing tomorrow. “The damage sustained could have been repaired in a very short time had the Shenandoah been in an airship hangar.” Commander Lansdowne’s statement declared, “but because she is tied to a moor-mast the work has been somewhat difficult. However, complete repairs have been accomplished to the ship while she hung in the air for the first time in history. “Our route north will be over Pasadena, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and as many cities as practicable at that time.” Capt. T. T. Craven, commander of the naval air station here, told International News Service that the Shenandoah probably could leave today, but she might encounter a storm in the northwest which can buy it from the Edison Company. This report being favorable, the City Council has called an election to vote bonds to construct a municipal plant and the subsequent articles, as they appear from day to day, will give the citizens a report of this survey. The question of public or privately owned utilities is as old as the organization of governments and has been argued pro- and con from that time to the present. I think the factors that are dividing the issues are others than the direct question itself. As the masses grow in knowledge so must the government grow in knowledge applying this knowledge to our conditions, the first things that confront us are: Sanitation, protection, progress and convenience.

After leaving the European coast line, the airship turned straight for the American coast, keeping in constant wireless communication for weather reports. Radio advice forecast bad weather in mid-Atlantic but at last reports it had not interfered with the progress of the giant dirigible. HORTA, Azores, Oct. 13.—The ZR-3 is now out over the Atlantic, having traveled more than 1700 miles since leaving Friedrichshafen, Germany, yesterday morning. LONDON, Oct. 13.—The ZR-2 was reported half way between Spain and the Azores, in a radio message received here at 4:20 o'clock this morning. The dirigible was making 110 kilometers an hour rand at that time expected to reach America Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—A storm of considerable intensity in mid-ocean which will be encountered by the ZR-3, was expected to prevent the airship from reaching the United States before Thursday, the navy department announced today. A special reported wirelessed to the ZR-3 by the navy department at 11 a.m. said that a storm south of Greenland was moving north-eastward and that there was an area of low pressure southwestward to Bermuda. Batometric pressure, the report said, is still high from Quebec southward to Florida. The highest is 29.34 at Montreal and the lowest is 29.42 in the vicinity of Bermuda. Strong shifting winds,” the report said, “prevailed above latitude 45, but winds have diminished elsewhere. Moderate to fresh northerly westward of longitude 60 and probably moderate southwest to latitude 35 and 45 and fresh longitude 60 eastward.” The cruiser Milwaukee is now on route to a position 450 miles south of Halifax, that is in the direction of Bermuda, to act as a relay station for messages to and from the ZR-3. The Milwaukee was stationed 250 miles east of Halifax, but the shift began necessary when the commander of ZR-3 The wildest confusion prevails in the field. No provisions were made for the surrender of the Che Kiang forces and fighting is still going on at Huang Tu, the troops being unaware of their leaders' surrender. Thousands of civilian refugees are flocking into the city fearing the coming horde of leaderless soldiers. One report stated that Chwang Ts Ping, in command of the Che Kiang forces in the field, would refuse to recognize the surrender announced by Lu Yung Haiang and Ke Feng Lin and is now reorganizing his lines for a final stair 15 miles from Shanghai. Despite statements issued by Gens Lu and Ho that they had decided upon surrendering in order to avert the inevitable destruction of life and property that would have followed a battle at the gates of this city the opinion prevails here that they feared rebellion of their troops following the alleged bribery of subordinates. Gen. Ho sought refuge in a residence in the French concession and Lu also took up his residence which he maintained in the international settlement. Wounded continue to pour in from the front, 50 arriving this morning. The foreign forces including American marines and sailors have formed a complete cordon about the international settlement. All soldiers will be disarmed who attempt to enter and every effort will be made to prevent looting in the native city.
