HALL Congregation at White Temple Divided Until Change in Pulpit Methodist services will be held at 11 a.m. Sunday in the K. of I. Temple. The services have been arranged temporarily by the 19 members of the White Temple who have filed petitions with th Wilson, Schwab, Dupont and Morgan Were to Be Assassinated NEW YORK, Feb. 27.—How a highly organized group of international anarchists planned and very heavily executed the assassinations of President Woodrow Wilson, J. P. Morgan, Chas. M. Schwab and Gen. T. Coleman DuPont in 1915 and how their efforts were frustrated by a government worker named Garland, was revealed today by Ralph M. Easily, president of the National Civic Federation. Easily made this statement following the announcement of the publication of the autobiography of Samuel Gompers, in which the late leader of the American Federation of Labor told of the activities of anarchists and German propagandists just before and during the world war. "On the fourth of July, 1915, Samuel Gomperd came to see me at my farm in New Canaan, Conn., in reference to some charges he had been making that strikes fostered in the munition factories at the time had been instigated by German money." Easily said. Then and there we decided to organize a bureau to investigate this bureau had no connection with the national civil federation that was composed of some very patriotic Americans who were being outraged over what were called the intrigues of Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, Von Papen Boy-ed and others. Easily then declared how government agents, among whom was Garland, the hero of Gomperd book, became members of an anarchist group who had been causing big munitions works explosions throughout the country. Garland—which is not his right name—was a man of middle age, said Easily, who had worked for the American government in many departments and who is believed to have been killed abroad. "His work with us," said Easily, "was to associate with and obtain information from the Germans. Naturally his success resulted in supplying the bureau with the inside activities of the Bernstorff group." In some of the anarchist lodge meetings action was taken proposing the assassination of various individuals. At one time it was Mrs. Wilson. On one occasion they took a vote on a list of seven deciding to kill three, those three being J. P. Morgan, Chas. M. Schwab and T. Coleman DuPont. They then decided to kill Gen. InPont first and went very far towards carrying out the plan until around midnight. John V. Clark, 22, is being held Chicago police in connection with a series of Chinese murders, as a result of his admission that he was paymaster for the Hip Sing song, now engaged in warfare with the On Leong tong.

DuPont first and went very far towards carrying out the plan until it was thwarted by the government. Speaking of the group of anarchists mentioned in Gompers' book as having voted to assassinate Pres. Wilson and others, Easily emphasized that the government was not long in capturing the leaders. In the Gompers' book, the man called Garland plays an important part in the frustration of many anarchists and German plots.

Calif., in this crop year, the Anaholm district will have all told 2500 cars of oranges and 50 cars of lemons, according to an estimate of Manager G. W. Sandilands LEGISLATURE SMOKES OUT CINCH BILLS CAPITOL, SACRAMENTO, Feb. 27.—A sweeping lobby hunt and a field day for smoking out the so-called "cinch bills" was authorized today by the senate. This action was taken as a result of the Chinese herb bill scandal for the purpose of purging the senate of any odium which might have attached itself to that body as a result of the Chinese exposure, and to give the senate a check up on the personnel and action of the lobbyists in Sacramento. The proposition was presented by Sen. Ralph Swing of San Bernardino-co, in the form of a resolution authorizing the Lt. governor to name a special committee of seven senators, whose duty it will be to institute the lobby hunt, go into the cinch bill situation and issue certificates to such lobbyists as have legitimate business here. The Swing resolution after some debate was adopted by a vote of 33 to 5. Those voting against it were Senators Edgar Hurley of Oakland, whose name has been dragged into the Chinese herb bill expose. Cadet Taylor of Los Angeles and T. C. West of Alameda. The Swing resolution provoked an acrimonious debate and was made the occasion by Senator Hurley to deny that he was in any way involved in the Chinese herb bill scandal. "At the proper time," said Hurley. "I will make a more complete statement here on that matter, and convince the members of this body that there is no stench or blame or guilt on me in connection with that matter." Senator Swing denied that his resolution was intended as a reflection upon Sen. Hurley. It was necessary, however, he declared, that the senate at this time take notice of the people of Cali- Anaheim to Ship Larger Proportion of Crop Than Last Year Out of a total of nearly 45,000 cars of citrus fruit produced in So. Calif., in this crop year, the Anaheim district will have all told 2600 cars of oranges and 50 cars of lemons, according to an estimate of Manager O. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Assn. This compares with an aggregate of 64,000 cars the previous season, of which Anaheim produced 3000 cars of oranges and 75 cars of lemons, according to the estimate as of the corresponding date, say Feb. 15. That is, with a difference of 19,000 cars in the crops of this year and last, as estimated on the same date, or a decline of 29.69 per cent. Anaheim's proportion of the total increased from 4.80 per cent to 5.66 per cent. This appears to prove the contention, therefore, that a cold spell never yet failed to benefit this citrus district, as alleged by Sandilands and Manager Dale King of the No. Orange Citrus Exchange. Sandilands declared today that he wouldn't be surprised to see valencia shipments start by April 1, two or three weeks earlier than usual. Miscellaneous varieties will begin to move from the district around March 15. Sweets, St. Mike's seedlings and bloods going in the order named, roughly speaking.

The measure, which will become law as soon as the president signs it, will provide $65,000,000 inage increases for postal employees and exact a similar amount of increased postal revenues from higher postal rates. This provision was added by congress to meet the objections raised by the president when he vetoed a pay increase bill last year. In its present form, it is said to meet the president's approval. The bill also included a new corrupt practices act, providing for complete publicity on campaign expenditures and contributions and limiting the campaign funds of senators and representatives.

"Power manager of the Barcelona office of the International Banking Corp., is threatening to delay my sailing until he gets some sort of assurance that my $3000 Madrid draft eventually will be paid." Wood told Intl. News Service. "I have only 200 pesetas in my pocket out of the $3000 check. It looks as if I won't be able to take the first boat out of here." A Barcelona newspaper published today a sensational story to the effect that Wood had attempted to go by airplane to Almeria, a Spanish seaport, but had been forced to depart by engine trouble. It is asserted also that police were searching for Wood. Wood left Paris ten days ago. Since that time a number of the alleged creditors have been trying to get in touch with him. NAVY TO CONTEST IN STATE HABEAS WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—Admitting that an increased number of airplanes are "urgently needed by the army air service," Secy. of War Weeks this afternoon took occasion, however in a letter to the special house committee investigating aircraft to state that "the situation is not as deplorable as certain testimony might lead you to believe." WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—Taking sharp issue with high ranking navy officers, Rear Admiral Wm. S. Sims, retired, told the house aircraft committee this afternoon that battleships are obsolete as a fighting force. "The airplane has made the battleship obsolete." Sims flatly declared. "If I were to build a battle fleet I would not have a single battleship." Sims said. "I would replace battleships with airplane carriers." Recently bombing tests on battleships have demonstrated the great power of airplanes as attacking units. Sims declared. "As a weapon of defense, the airplane is vitally important to peace," he said. "We should never consent to a limitation of airplanes before having a force necessary to repulse an attack by a fleet from overseas. Command of the air would enable us to destroy an attacking fleet." Sims' opinions were contained in a statement which he said he prepared in 1923 after a thoro study of the value of airplanes and battleships. "No fleet can operate against a power controlling the air," Sims said. "It can be stated as a fact that control of the air, in my opinion, are a means of control of any naval fleet operating in that same area." "The Panama canal can be made secure by having at its entrance many more airplanes than can be brought over by an enemy fleet," he added. "That would prevent not only landing of troops, but bombardment of the canal as well." Sims warned the nation not to be alarmed over rapid airplane building by European countries. "No airplanes yet built can operate far enough away from their home bases to endanger us," said Sims. "The only danger lies in the planes that can be brought over by an enemy fleet." In event of a war with Japan, the United States would be fortunate if half of our battleships got back to San Francisco. By control of the air, a Japanese fleet could drive away an American fleet." Sims declared. The postal rate advances will fall heavily on parcel post in the levying of a two-cent service charge on all packages. Existing rates will be retained but a new "expeditious" service will be added for an additional cost of 25 cents. First class rates will remain the same at present except that postal cards will cost two cents. Slightly higher rates will be provided for all special services such as special delivery, insurance and C.O.D. service. Newspapers will be granted small decreases on the first two zones with increased rates on the further zones. The second class rates will be 1½ cents on reading matter and a scale from two to nine cents a pound on advertising matter. The scale ran two cents for first and second zones, four cents for third zones, six cents for fourth, fifth and sixth zones, and nine cents for seventh and eighth zones. A flat rate of 1½ cents for two ounces will be made on third class matter, with a weight limit of eight ounces. All mail over that weight will be placed in the fourth class. Some minor exceptions were given to book, catalogue and seed maff, where a rate of one cent for two ounces was asked. TWO YOUTHS FINED P. L. Dougherty and Oakley Wischert. Fullerton youths, were arraigned before Judge Klinsler of Brea following arrest yesterday on charges of possession of liquor. They entered pleas of guilty.

NAVY TO CONTEST IN STATE HABEAS SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 27—The navy will contest the right of a state court to hear habeas corpus proceeding over a U.S. naval officer. It was learned today at the Mare Island navy yard following issuance of such a writ by Supervisor Percy S. King of San Francisco at the request of civilian attorneys for Lieut. Frank E. Kennedy, now in the Napa insane asylum demanding Kennedy be produced in court next Monday for the purpose of showing that he is not insane. The navy it became known, will claim jurisdiction over Kennedy as a member of its fighting force, not subject to process in a civil court. Attorneys for Kennedy claim their client is being held at Napa to prevent him from telling a strange story of an alleged naval scandal, the suicide of a naval officer, and his own incarceration in the Napa asylum. CHILD INJURED AT STREET CROSSING Arthur Rossler eight, son of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Roaster, 215 S.

Sims warned the nation not to be alarmed over rapid airplane building by European countries. No airplanes yet built can operate far enough away from their home bases to endanger us," said Sims. "The only danger lies in the planes that can be brought over by an enemy fleet." In event of a war with Japan, the United States would be fortunate if half of our battleships got back to San Francisco. By control of the air, a Japanese fleet could drive away an American fleet." Sims declared. If Japan with 12 airplane carriers and other auxiliary craft, but no battleships should attack Hawaii Japan would have an advantage over our battle fleet and our one airplane carrier, Langley. Sims said He predicted the Japanese could bomb down the Hawaiian defense destroy the defending aircraft and escape without being seen by the army forces on the island. Sims opposed a unified air service. The air force operating with the navy should be manned by competent naval officers, who have lives in the navy, said Sims. Sims placed great emphasis upon submarines. "No船 can exist in the face of submarines unless it is running at full speed and is zig-zagging." The nation that commands the air over a land or a sea force will bring either to submission. I think the navy therefore should build tight airplane carriers instead of cruisers." Sims allied "conservatism" in congress. "It is a curious thing," he said, but you can't change the minds of the navy conservatives. You have to shed their blood before they change or they'll hang on until some disaster comes along. With an adequate air and submarine force no nation will bother us." Unification of the air force in England has destroyed its effectiveness, he said. WASH. GTON., Feb. 27—Aircraft will be the key to power in the next war: Hear Admiral Win.(Continued on Page Two) J.
