SPECIAL COINS FOR CALIFORNIA
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Sen. Shortridge, Rep. of Calif., announced today he would immediately introduce a bill authorizing the United States mint to coin 30,000 special 50-cent pieces commemorating the Silver Jubilee of the admission of California into the Union.
SENORA IBANEZ DIES
LONDON, Jan. 21. — Senora Ibanez, wife of Blasco Ibanez, the celebrated Spanish novelist, died today, according to a Central News dispatch from Madrid. Ibanez has been making his home in Paris and Montone, following his political attacks of King Alfonso.

Bulgin Tent Bulging Out; Many Turned Away Last Evening
The big tent at Wilhelmina and Claudina-sta was packed to capacity again last night and many turned away. Dr. E. J. Bulgin evangelist, preached on: "Is There a Bible Hell?" The choir loft was also jammed to capacity, all the larger Protestant churches in the city being well represented. Bulgin said he had been told that no one but the riffraff were attending the meetings, but that the singing was pretty good for riffraff.
Alvin Carter sang "When the Veil is Lifted at Last" as a solo, the choir and audience join in the chorus. Mrs. H. D. McFarlane sang the last stanza.
At the conclusion of the sermon several hit the sawdust trail in response to the first invitation of this kind from the evangelist.
Carter announced the Gourley entertainment for children today, at which time Carter is to speak on "How the Devil Goes A-fishing." More than 600 children attended these services Monday. They will be drilled for an evening's entertainment later.
Bulgin's text tonight was announced as "The Old Lean Cow," or, "Pharaoh's Dream."
Efforts are being made to get a larger tent to seat from 2500 to 3000 people by Thursday. The revival has created more interest than even its most sanguine promoters had anticipated. Bulgin said, "I don't see how anyone can be low down enough to fight this revival."
Announcement was made that any lost articles found could be reclaimed from Lyman and Goble, caretakers of the tent.
Bulgin gave a preliminary lesson from portions of the 25th chapter of Matthew, 9th of Mark, and 16th of Luke. Everlasting fire in the first place is denoted by "eon," the Greek word for ages of ages; and in the second place by "gehenna," a pit of burning fire. The rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 is not a parable, but an historic fact spoken of by our Lord. The actors in a parable are never named, and a parable always begins with, "And He spoke a parable unto them." As you die so will you be in eternity.
Carter sang "The Great Judgment Morning."
Rev. Leon L. Myers announced services in other parts of the county. He told a story of Bulgin coming to Eugene, Ore., where he previously was located. Bulgin was opposed by a certain minister.
CO-OP ASSN. DISTRIBUTES $1,500,000
The Anaheim Coop, Orange Assn. distributed about $1,500,000 to local growers, according to the report of Manager J. H. Ritchie, at the annual meeting this week at the high school. The report disclosed the following facts:
The association picked 596,282 boxes of Valencia Oranges which netted the grower $1.63 per field box and $2.45 per packed box.
That the association's financial condition is very satisfactory, with aff buildings and machinery paid for.
That there will be a ten cent per packed box refund on actual packing charges, which will be paid in cash, not stock.
That their associaiton packing houses have been equipped with the Brogdex method of preserving fruit and upwards of 15,000 packed boxes of navels have already been shipped under that method.
The present directors, Warren Mathin, S. D. Winters, Jos. O'Donnell, R. M. Fay, Wm. Wagner, B. R. Douglas and J. J. Schneider, were unanimously chosen to serve another year.
The meeting was addressed by C. P. Earley, general manager of the Mutual Orange Distributors, H. R. Blodgett, field manager of the M. O. D. and Fred Ruggles, also of the M. O. D., all of whom were high in their praises of the local institution.
SIX FULLERTON HOMES ENTERED
Six Fullerton homes were entered last night by a sneak thief, or sneak thieves, by means of pass keys, but the combined loot amounted to very little. A negro giving the name of Henry Stovall, and his residence as Ibanez, wife of Blasco Ibanez, the celebrated Spanish novelist, died today, according to a Central News dispatch from Madrid.

The negro gave the name of Henry Stovall, and his residence as cotton, was picked up by police on suspicion, and part of the loot was found on him, also a number of maskets.
Rev. Leon L. Myers announced services in other parts of the county. He told a story of Bulgin coming to Eugene, Ore., where he previously was located. Bulgin was opposed by a certain minister. Later that minister said he had misunderstood the gospel that Bulgin preached, and opened his own church to Bulgin. Myers said it is true that certain local ministers have misunderstood the object of this revival, but that he holds nothing in his heart against them, and that a brotherly invitation is still extended them.
Rev. V. G. Ledbetter of the Calvary Baptist church was more outspoken in branding as a lie certain misrepresentations that he said had been made by a local preacher. He said that if there is anything he devised it is a liar, and especially a lying preacher. He challenged anyone to prove that this revival is being backed in a financial way by the Ku Klux Klan, and that the klan has promised Dr. Bulgin any sum of money. He said that Bulgin came on faith believing that God would provide the finances some way, and that God is doing so.
Carter led in prayer, and then sang, "Eternity is Near."
Bulgin took his text from Acts 1:25: "Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." He said that hell is the sinner's own place by fitness, by preference, by wages and by birthright. Conclusion: Be born again, and stay out. It is his by fitness because his propensities are evil. He loves evil things and, therefore, he isn't fit for heaven. It is his by preference because he chooses to reject God, and wades there thru his mother's prayers, the ministers' efforts and preaching, and knee-deep thru the blood of Christ. It is his by wages because he has to work for it. Eternal life is a gift, but you've got to work for hell.' It costs you more money to serve the devil one year than it would cost you in five years to serve God and support the church of Jesus Christ.

Burbank Hotly Contests Fullerton's Claim For Location
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 21—Three bills will be introduced in the assembly of the California legislature Thursday it is announced by Assemblyman Frank C. Weller Glendale, to protect the interests of the Southern branch U. of C. building program. Assemblyman Willard Badham, Los Angeles, and Henry Carter, San Pedro, will be, other sponsors for the measures which are now being drawn up by the legislative counsel bureau.
The program called for in the bills is as follows:
1. Authorization to sell the present southern branch site of the City of Los Angeles.
2. Appropriation of $250,000 for the purchase of a site or additional acreage in case the branch does not move. This is a tentative figure which may be changed in the last half of the legislative session, Mr. Weller states.
3. An appropriation of $1,000,000 for the erection of new buildings. This is also a tentative figure.
With the city of Burbank hotly contesting Fullerton's claims for location of the university, according to Mr. Weller, and Palos Verdes offering a large tract, it is very probable that early action will be taken by the board of regents. There would then be necessity for having legislation pending to enable them to proceed at once, the assemblyman believes.
BLAIR WILL QUIT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Commissioner of International Revenue David H. Blair will retire from the government service within the next two months, according to reports today. It was understood that Blair planned to remain in the treasury department only until the completion of the pending senate investigation of the internal revenue bureau.

Prices Ranging Up to $2 Per Box Higher Than Year Ago
Shipments of navels from the Anaheim district, which is rapidly nearing a close, are expected to total somewhat higher than in the season of 1922-24, while prices have averaged as much as $2.00 per box more on the average.
The Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n with 25 cars against 22 last season, finishes this week The Anaheim Co-operative Orange Ass'n will wind up this week with 30 cars for the season, practically the same as last Some 25 cars is the estimate of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange for the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Ass'n, whose shipments appear likely to hang over into next week.
So far this exchange has shipped 150 cars, it is estimated, with Placentia shipping possibly for two or even three weeks yet, and Fullerton also prolonging the movement for a fortnight or so.
LaHabra has finished and Yorba Linda ships almost no navels.
The fruit has been injured hardly at all, according to Manager G. W. Sandifands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n who is now able to speak with full knowledge, for his own association at least.
THINGS PICKING UP
Postmaster J. H. Whitaker is creating a reputation for himself as a finder.
Yesterday he picked up a package of five pounds or so of confectionery on West Center-st.
The valuable ring which he found in the postoffice lobby some six months ago never has been claimed.
Somebody dropped a Yale & Towne key in the 200 block on East Adele-st which Whitaker is holding for the loser.
ADOPT AMENDMENT
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—The Senate today adopted an amendment to the naval appropriation bill requesting the president to call a new world conference for the further limitation of naval armament.
The president has already indicated that he will call such a conference when world conditions are such as to make the project feasible.
The amendment was sponsored by Sen. King, Dem. of Utah.
POST OFFICE RECEIPTS ADVANCE
Receipts at the Anaheim post-office during the first half of January were $600 higher than during the corresponding period of 1924, according to Postmaster J. H. Whitaker.
Whether the rest of the month holds up or not, therefore, no justification will be found in the lugubrious picture of Anaheim business which is being painted for political purposes by a certain daily newspaper.
December also was considerably ahead of December, 1923, it will be remembered.
PROBE DEATH OF WOUNDED WOMAN
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.—An investigation was under way here today into the peculiar circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Cora Springer Robertson following the discovery that the woman died of a gunshot wound which had never been reported to the authorities. The discovery was made after the woman's body had been removed from a hospital to an undertaking establishment.
WITHDRAW MARINES
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—Withdrawal of American marines from Hayti was demanded by Senator King, Dem. of Utah, in the Senate today during an attack on the alleged "imperialistic policy" of the United States toward the island republics of the south.
King charged the United States with destroying the government established by the Haytiens and establishing a government that "exists only as a fiction."

ADDED EXERCISES ON SCHEDULE THURSDAY
ARTICLE No. 18 INSTRUCTIONS FOR JAN. 22
By DR. FRANK McCOY
TOMORROW morning (Thursday) continue the same exercises you are now taking, with the addition of the following:
LYING ON BACK, FACE DOWNWARD
Arms extended straight over the head—raise the arms, head and shoulders, at the same time raising the legs and keeping the knees stiff.
Tomorrow morning have only orange juice for breakfast. Also for lunch, satisfy yourself with just apples and one ounce of pecan or almond nuts, using not over two or three apples. Remember you are reducing and must practice some self-defense if you hope to succeed in reducing your weight to normal. Do not forget to walk at least two miles in the morning and also in the afternoon.
For dinner you are to have a new protel food which will be Belgian hare. The term "Belgian hare" refers to such rabbits as are raised for eating purposes and whose meat is light after cooking. Rabbit weighing between one and a half and two and a half pounds may be easily broiled and can even be satisfactorily pan broiled without grease. If it is possible to secure a rabbit weighing four or five pounds when dressed, you will find that a most satisfactory roast may be made of it. This older rabbit has a distinctly different flavor and is more desirable than the younger variety.
With rabbit use only a dish of cooked carrots and a plentiful supply of raw celery.
Take your exercises before retiring, as usual, and also a warm water enema.
ADOPT AMENDMENT

Hale said he did not oppose acceptance of the site but desired to have it brought before the senate under another bill.
SECOND GAS BLAST
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.—Police and fire officials investigating the second serious gas explosion here within 24 hours, declared today it was believed both explosions were due to the same agencies—ignition of gas pockets by "shorts" in electric wiring.
The latest explosion nearly wrecked a house in Hope-st and Mrs. F. Stulber is believed to have escaped with her life only because she was not in the room at the time of the explosion.
TRAIN KILLS THREE
BARSTOW, Jan. 21.—An investigation was to be made today of the train accident last night which ended the death of Santa Fe Special Officer Grant Tucker and two Mexicans.
According to Constable Farris, Tucker is believed to have taken the Mexicans from a freight train when a passenger train suddenly rounded a curve on another set of tracks and struck the men, killing Grant instantly and knocking the Mexicans more than 40 feet. They died later.
WILD DIET TUMULT

Official Life
Reports prevalent in Newport Beach today that a group of young men planned to waylay Lee Pfau following a mass meeting, and "do away with him in the bay," but were swayed to law and order by older heads, could not be confirmed, it was stated at the beach city.
"Damned liar," "old skunk," "thief," "crook," "felon," etc. were freely exchanged last night at Newport Beach at the public mass-meeting called by Lee Pfau, when most or all of the targets of his charges of fraud, etc., were present and answered for themselves. Pfau, fighting Jone-handed a battle against the city's principal powers that be, presented an interesting spectacle.
The public school where the meeting was held was jammed to the doors and beyond.
In spite of the ract that the auditorium was largely packed with sympathizers of the county officials, from elsewhere, the sentiment of the crowd appeared to be divided fifty-fifty, when Clyde Bishop, city attorney of Newport Beach, tried to get a popular rising vote of confidence in the present Board of Trustees.
The features of the meeting for Anaheimmers were: Charges by Pfau that 50,000 cases of liquor annually enter Newport Harbor, which constituted one of the greatest clearing houses for western states' booze on the coast, and that county officials received their takeoff from this booze; and that District Attorney A. P. Nelson tried to persuade the parents of the Owens girl in the Dr. R. E. Whitted case, to accept a money settlement so that the case would never come to court.
The booze question, however, was hardly touched otherwise by Pfau and not at all by county officials and others.
Pfau declared that three other young women and two boys were involved similarly with Dr. Whitted, who was released from state's prison after serving six months, by the State Board of Prison Parole. It was practically impossible for such a thing as that to happen, said Pfau, without the aid of the county's chief prosecuting officer. Nelson, Pfau charged, twice tried to block efforts to have even the complaint brot against Dr. Whitted.
Nelson was liberally hissed when he appeared on the stage to answer, and his response was any-

R. E. Coe of Long Beach was picked up today by local police on the charge of possession of liquor, entered a plea of guilty before Judge Kuchel and was fined $100.
2 TRAINMEN HURT
SHREVEPORT, La., Jan. 21.—Eight trainmen were injured, two seriously and two engines heavily damaged here today in a head-on collision on the So. Pac. R. R.
WOOL GROWERS MEET
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.—All branches of the wool industry were represented when the sixteenth annual convention of the National Wool Growers' Ass'n opened here today.
F. J. Hagenbarth, president, of Spencer, Ida., delivered his annual address.
Uniform quarantine regulations are sought as well as better marketing conditions and federal range rulings, Hagenbarth said.
RAID ORIENTAL'S "TEMPLE"
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 21.—"Mohammed" Ortaay Soothsayer, is in the toils of the law following a police raid on his "temple of Mohammed" in Carlton Way and his arrest on a charge of fortune telling without a license.
Nearly a hundred autographed photographs of women, several of them screen personages, were found in the "temple."

It was practically impossible for such a thing as that to happen, said Pfau, without the aid of the county's chief prosecuting officer. Nelson, Pfau charged, twice tried to block efforts to have even the complaint brot against Dr. Whitted.
Nelson was liberally hissed when he appeared on the stage to answer, and his response was anything but satisfactory to the crowd. He admitted having tried to keep the case out of the courts, alleging that he tried to show the parents of the Owens girl that her good name would be ruined. At this the crowd hissed again.
When Nelson called Bert Dawson and others more intimately connected with the case "damned liars" in the affidavits they signed regarding the former Santa Ana dentist, Dawson tried to get on the stage and answer, but wasn't given an opportunity by Attorney Roland Thompson who presided.
Thompson, however, was tolerably fair, taking the meeting as a whole.
The other five cases involving Dr. Whitted might have had some results, too, said Pfau, but the victims relatives didn't have the stuff to fight them, as the parents of the Owens girl had.
No man can bet out of State's penitentiary without the verbal or written authorization of the District Attorney, Pfau shouted.
Nelson came in for further charges in connection with the allegation of theft made by Pfau against Lew Wallace, city treasurer of Newport Beach, when Pfau called the district attorney a felon for permitting such alleged thefts. Clyde Bishop, city attorney of Newport Beach and perhaps the most prominent lawyer in Orange-co., was also branded a felon by Pfau, if Bishop permitted Wallace to misuse the funds of Newport Beach.
The charges against Wallace involved principally two questions—that of whether city monies should earn full interest or be payable on demand and whether Wallace by statute manipulated tideland titles so as to divert titles from the city
