Y., Feb. 6. The looting of the mansion here of Conway Tearle, motion picture actor, two weeks ago by burglars who carried away in a truck furnishings valued at $15,000, was revealed today when authorities announced they were hunting for four men with long criminal records. The thieves ate a meal at the Tearle home and left other evidence of having worked leisurely. The house was closed. Tearle living in New York and Mrs. Tearle in Hollywood, Calif.

Manager Dale King estimated today, with only two houses still moving this fruit. 480 Participate in Best Juvenile Chorus Ever Heard in Anaheim About 2000 people were in attendance last night at the junior program, given at the Bulgin evangelistic tent, Claudina and Wilhelmina-ste, by approximately 480 children under the direction of Rey Gourley, who has been in charge of the children's Bible Chautauqua during the revival. The children, divided into "reds" and "blues," occupied the choir loft, and started the program with a number of songs and yells, including "Love Lifted Me," "It's a Good Thing to Be a Christian" and "He Took Me Out of the Miry Clay." It was without doubt the finest children's chorus ever heard in Anaheim. Gourley said he was proud of these boys and girls, that they had been the most apt to learn of any he had ever handled. Rev. V. K. Ledbetter of the Calvary Baptist church made a short talk about finances for Bulgin, asking those who wished to give him anything to see the finance committee of which Ledbetter is chairman. He said the expenses of the poetry had been met except for a small deficit in Bulgin's expenses, but that Bulgin had not received anything. He said that he came here without the promise of anything, but that he shot it only right that he should be given commensurate with the good which he believed Anaheim had received from the revival. He gave the congregation several reasons why he felt donations should be made to Bulgin. The "reds" then put on a stunt in which they introduced three local boys, with physique, make-up and dress to resemble Bulgin, Carter and Gourley. The young "Mr. Gourley" made a noise at the piano, the young "Mr. Carter" made the motions of a song leader on the platform and the young "Dr. Bulgin" rushed up to the pulpit, stretched out his right hand to the congregation and cried: "That was a sack-o-sack-o-whatch-dollger!" The audience roared. The "blues" then gave an exhibition of a family on their way to the Bulgin revival in a Ford. And that old "tin lizte" did run true to life and the audience roared again. Those in the audience were judges of the contest, judgment to be rendered by applause. The audience stood and sang "America," and Bulgin led in prayer. Bulgin preaches tonight on "The Parable of a Penny a Day." Saturday night is family night. Every family is urged to come and live in New York and Mrs. Tearle in Hollywood, Calif. FALLS FROM RIG Carl Jackson of Yorba Linda was injured yesterday when he fell from a derrick of the Midway Petroleum Co., In the Richfield oil fields, and was brot to the local sanitarium.

U.S. LEAVES CONFERENCE ON OPIUM WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The United States today withdrew from the international opium conference at Geneva, it was announced at the state department. Official permission was telegraphed to Stephen G. Porter, head of the American delegation, to withdraw and return home. GENEVA, Feb. 6.—"America will withdraw from the international opium conference." Congressman Stephen G. Porter, chairman of the American delegation declared today. The announcement of Porter culminated weeks of deadlock. The American delegation has stood firm for the suppression of opium at the end of 15 years, beginning at once with a ten per cent reduction. The English delegation has emphatically opposed this program on the ground that opium smuggling would increase. "We canbled Washington for permission to withdraw," said Porter. "Washington replied, 'Use your own discretion.'" "I hope to be able to leave Geneva for Paris tomorrow. Believe me, I'll sail for the America as soon as possible." CONSERVE HELIUM WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The world's greatest supply of helium, the non-inflammable gas for airships, would be conserved in this country for the use of America's aerial defenses, under terms of a bill reported favorably today by the military affairs com. Only Two No. Orange-co Exchange Houses Still Packing Shipments of navel oranges of the Northern Orange Citrus Exchange will amount to 250 cars. Manager Dale King estimated today, with only two houses still moving this fruit. The Placentia Mutual Orange Growers' Ass'n and the Placentia Orange Growers' Ass'n are the only associations operating. King set the middle of March for the opening of the season on miscellaneous varieties. While it is true that the fruit is mature enough to ship earlier, it is wiser to wait until the demand is strong enough to look after the small sizes, King remarked. These varieties contain a larger proportion of small sizes than either valcenlas or navels. Considerable new acreage has been added by member associations since the close of the previous season, Nov. 1. The market is very satisfactory, season of the year considered. According to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n, the level is still higher than that of the 1923-24 season at this date. It might be still higher if shipments had been reduced, but they were not despite trust. The regular labels are being used on front undamaged or damaged only up to five per cent, and the stock labels on fruit harmed up to 15 per cent. BETTS SPEAKS TO LOCAL LIONS' CLUB Rev. Will A. Betts, Methodist pastor of Santa Ana, was today's speaker at the Lions' club luncheon meeting, his topic courtesy. The "Rinky Dinks" "passed the buck" to the "Alley Gang" whom they defeated the past month in the attendance contest. The club endorsed the move taken by the officers at their meeting last night in deciding to attend the play at the Orange Grove theatre, Los Angeles, February 16. DEFENDANT WINS, INJUNCTION SUIT Daniel Smith of Fullerton, defendant in an action for an injunction, was given judgment in the suit brought by George H. Amerige to compel Smith to block up three windows he cut in a party wall between two buildings in Fullerton. Old records of the Masonicle order of Fullerton, owner of one building involved, were brought The "blues" then gave an exhibition of a family on their way to the Bulgin revival in a Ford. And that old "tin lizzie" did run true to life and the audience roared again. Those in the audience were judges of the contest, judgment to be rendered by applause. The audience stood and sang "America;" and Bulgin led in prayer. Bulgin preached tonight on "The Parable of a Penny a Day." Saturday night is family night. Every family is urged to come and all its members sit together. A present is to be given the two largest families. There are to be three services Sunday, at 11 a.m., 2:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. These close the revival. Ledbetter announced the prayer services for today. He challenged anyone to say that Bulgin had preached one sermon during the revival in which he did not bring out the plan of human redemption. The following part of the program was given by the children: Orin Davil, a whistling solo; Robert Dean, recitation on the slave of cigarettes; the children sang, "Some Ladies, Take Your Hats Off"; and, "John Brown's Baby Had a Cold on Its Chest." Margaret Mossberger gave a reading, "The Saloon Keeper's Daughter." Five children that had been with difficulty selected out of 25 or 40 then gave scriptural texts which had been memorized during each children's afternoon of the revival. Messrs. Ledbetter, Hornburg and Paye were the judges. Prizes from one to five dollars were awarded. The awards were made as follows: Johann Lee first; Bernice Swain, second; Olive Jean Campbell, third; Alice Harry, fourth, and Henry Standridge, fifth prize. Bulgin said there are 480 children in this town who have been taught those tests, and that, he said, is the biggest thing that ever happened in Anaheim. An offering was taken for the children who had borne the expenses of the program. The following portion of the program was also given by the children. Evelyn Van Meter, reading "Men Don't Believe in a Devil Now"; duel, Olive Jean Campbell and Miss Robinson with Miss Campbell at the piano, "That White City That's Soon Coming Down"; Henry Standridge, reading "Is There a God?"

CONSERVE HELIUM WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—The world's greatest supply of helium, the non-inflammable gas for airships, would be conserved in this country for the use of America's aerial defenses, under terms of a bill reported favorably today by the senate military affairs committee. Experts declare more helium is stored in Texas oil fields than in all the rest of the world. The bill would place an embargo on the exportation of the precious gas. WILSON REID DIES Wilson D.

Great Mongol Nation Thrived Here before Day of Pyramids SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 6.—Countess centuries before the Pharaoh lashed slaves of Egypt toiled in the Valley of the Nile to build the world famous pyramids a great mongol nation thrived in the southern region of the California coast. This was the opinion expressed here today by Harold Gladwin, curator of the Santa Barbara museum of natural history, and T.H. Rogers, lately of the Smithsonian Institute of Washington. D.C., following the discovery in this vicinity during the past week of skeletons, fossils, and other indications of prehistoric man deeply embedded in rock that has been satisfied for ages. From the shape of the excavated skulls, Gladwin and Roger believe that the ancient race was of Mongolian origin and that it was this race which in the course of evolution became the Amurian Indian type found on the western hemisphere by the early Europeans discoverers.

Wheat to $1.85 in Rush to Unload CHICAGO, Feb. 6. — May wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade fell to the low level of $1.85 today on a frantic rush to unload. The low price was reached amid the greatest exclen­tment in the pit after an opening showing only slight price changes from the closing Thursday. After the big rush of the public to get out of the market, wheat made a slight recovery to $1.86. Corn also felt the effect of the slumping wheat market and sold at $1.31 5-8; oats and rye also broke with other grains, but the decline in prices was not so noticeable. MANY AWAIT EXPLORER IS STILL ALIVE IN CAVE Radio Tells Rescuers Victim Remains Conscious CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 6. — A new peril—silent, insidious dead­ly—crept into Sand Cave this af­ternoon to extinguish the flame of life of Floyd Colling, explorer, which has burned there, to the He's the Only Man: $10,000,000 MANY AWAIT WORLD END TONIGHT EAST PATCHOGUE, N. Y., Feb. 6.—This odd little town became a grandstand today for watching "the end of the world," forecast by the reformed Seventh Day Adventists to begin at midnight tonight. Automobiles and Long Island trains brought crowds to East Patchogue intent on enjoying the preparations of Robert Reidt and about 55 followers for their hegira to heaven on a cloud. Reidt, his wife, their four children and others who believed with Mrs. Margaret Rowan of Los Angeles that storms, pestilence, disease and devastating miracles will visit the earth within the seven days beginning at midnight, planned to go to a hill near here tonight and await the cloud that will waft them to the golden stair via Hollywood, San Diego and Jupiter. Brother Willard Downs of Yaphank, one of Reidt's most ardent and prayerful votaries, offered his bicycle for sale today for $5. Extra details of state troopers will be on hand, over Reidt's protest, to protect him and his "brides of the lamb." They have been guarded for several days, because devout Italians of another faith, living in a settlement hard by the Reidt home, have voiced their disapproval of this creed. The "apostle of doom" has received several threatening notes. Reidt told interviewers today that he was tired of being misrepresented. He said he wished it understood that he had not predicted the earth would sink into oblivion on the stroke of 12. It will be gradual and awful, he said. The apostle believes he will be presented with a golden harp upon his arrival in heaven. Until Radio Tells Rescuers Victim Remains Conscious CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 6.—A new peril—silent insidious deadly—crept into Sand Cave this afternoon to extinguish the flame of life of Floyd Collins, explorer, which has burned there, to the amazement of physician, for seven days. And it was from one of the modern machines destined to aid in saving Collins, that new danger—carbon monoxide gas, belched forth by a gasoline motor came. The motor brought here to operate the diamond drill which is to cut a cylinder of rock for analysis from a point near the "life or death" shaft, has been set up near the extreme end of the rock facing of the cavern, under the overhanging ledge of laminated rock, which if the passage in which Collins lies were tunneled out, would form the mouth of the cave. As soon as it was started, the oil smoke containing the deadly carbon monoxide fumes, began to fill the small three-sided chamber formed by the overhanging cliff, and the floor and wall of the cave. CAVE CITY, Ky., Feb. 5.—"I'm alright." This was the message from the bowels of Sand cave today read in the faint staccato tickling of a microphone. It was the message made possible by the miracle of the age—radio—and it rekindled the spark of hope and faith which as the dawn of the seventh day of futile rescue effort broke over these cavernous hills, was dwindling to the vanishing point. The word spread like wildfire thru this little town. It was the morning greeting of the grim faced men who walk about its streets. Even the put-up of gasoline engines, sounding strangely foreign as they trolled among virgin rock about the floor of the cave pit seemed to be shouting the news. "He lives—he lives—he lives!" And the furious digging, which thru the night had put the "dead or alive" shaft down a total of approximately 15 feet, took on a new aspect of grim determination. It was W. H. Riley of Bowling Green and Morton Welty of Glasgow, who brought about the revival of hope. They arrived here late last night with a double radio amplifier—really a microphone in the strict sense of the word—a phone attachment which greatly magnifies all sound coming into it.

He lives—he lives—he lives: And the furious digging, which thru the night had put the “dead or alive” shaft down a total of approximately 15 feet, took on a new aspect of grim determination. It was W. H. Riley of Bowling Green and Morton Welly of Glasgow, who brought about the revival of hope. They arrived here late night with a double radio amplifier—really a microphone in the strict sense of the word—a phone attachment which greatly magnifies all sound coming into it. A hot air blast was being sunk today thru the rock to the cavern where Collins lies imprisoned, to keep alive the spark of life which its message thru the radio amplified. The tube will carry air preheated by passing it over a wood fire and it is believed that this will do much toward the prisoner’s comfort. Physicians say that the damp cold in which Collins lies is his greatest foe. Great energy is consumed constantly; they say, combatting this chill and even the strongest man could not much longer endure such a drain on his vitality. More rescue apparatus has arrived. It included a diamond drill with which it is planned to cut a small cylinder of the rock from a point beside the shaft. This cylinder will be drawn out and turned over to geologists here who will analyze the rock sections it contains and will then be able to predict with a fair degree of accuracy the exact length of time which will be consumed in cutting the shaft. This depends largely on the rock formation which the driller strike. Thus far no solid rock has been encountered and the ligging has been progressing at the rate of about two feet every three hours. This, according to estimates, would bring the shaft to Collins’ trap some time Sunday. If solid rock is encountered, however, it will require blasting and rescue work will be slowed materially. One chance of an early rescue still remained. Collins told men who went to him early in the rescue work that he had found a beautiful save high cellings and roomy, which lay just behind him and if the shaft driller strikes this work will be out to a minum.

Accusations So Serious It Is Certain Probe Will Be Extended WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—President Coolidge believes that the war and navy departments will give careful consideration to any deficiencies in the air service broth out by Gen. Wm. Mitchell's testimony before a congressional committee; it was declared at the White House this afternoon. It was indicated, however, that the president thought General Mitchell had gone too far in criticizing the navy department in his testimony, instead of limiting his remarks to the army air service. WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.—Brig. Gen. William Mitchell took the lid off the aircraft investigation today with a hang and clatter that shocked official Washington. Bringing his fight for a greater air service into the open, General Mitchell charged flatly that not only are the war and navy departments inefficiently conducting their air services but that the navy department deliberately hindered the air bombing experiments conducted by the joint army-navy air services off the Virginia Capes in 1921. General Mitchell's grave and sensational charges were laid before the special congressional committee that is investigating the aircraft situation. They were also contained in a letter which the "flying general" sent to Secretary of War Weeks in reply to Weeks' recent demand that Mitchell "explain" some of his recent statements on the air service. So serious were the charges made by Mitchell today against the administration of the navy department, that it is regarded as certain there will be a greater and more far reaching investigation which may cost the heads of some of the higher ranking officers of the navy, and perhaps that of Mitchell himself. Mitchell defied traditions and precedent by tearing aside the veil of secrecy that for several years has shielded the bombing tests off the Capes in which old warships have been sunk by aerial attack. The tests were conducted by congressional authority to determine the value of their attacks against battleships. After reviewing the alleged handicaps he says were placed in the way of the air service, in its effort to follow the instruction of the congressional resolution, Mitchell said: "In my opinion the navy actually tried to prevent our sinking this Ostfriesland." "The whole performance (referring to the handicap) was al- SACRAMENTO AT 26-FOOT MARK SACRAMENTO, Feb. 6.—Swollen by the storm of the last few days, the Sacramento river rose to the 26-foot mark here today, according to N. R. Taylor, chief of the U. S. Weather Bureau, reaching its greatest height in four years. The total rainfall for the storm was fixed at 1.86 inches, bringing the total for the season to 10.27 inches. This is almost seven inches in excess of last year's total. Taylor reported the American river, which empties into the Sacramento river here, overflowed its north bank but said there was no danger of serious floods. Altho there was a temporary lull in the storm today, the Weather Bureau predicted more rain tonight and tomorrow throut No. Calif.
