SAYS WIFE WANTS TO WED ANOTHER Vividly depicting each step of an asserted neighborly friendship until it developed into a purported clandestine love affair between Mrs. Josephine R. Wilcox and Arthur Allen, the answer of the woman's husband, Charles H. Wilcox, to his wife's divorce suit, was on file at Santa Ana today. The he took Mrs. Wilcox away from Costa Mesa in an endeavor to regain her love, the effort failed when his wife became despondent and returned. Wilcox maintains. His answer, which asks that the divorce petition be denied, declares that Mrs. Wilcox's sole aim in seeking a divorce is to permit her to marry Allen. Two weeks after Mrs. Wilcox returned to Costa Mesa he followed her. Wilcox states, and learned that relations again were far from platonic. It was about that time a phonograph and other household furnishings disappeared from Alen's home, and Mrs. Wilcox joined Allen in accusing Wilcox of being the thief, his answer adds. He noticed that when they first went to Costa Mesa that Mrs. Wilcox began talking to Allen, the husband avers, his answer adding that soon she began visiting Allen in his home and then affairs became more brazen Allen would come to her home and then finally the two went away together. On one occasion Allen gave a child of the Wilcox family some money for candy and sent him to a store a mile away, the husband complains. Allen then moved to San Pedro and the Wilcox group to Tustin and it was there that Wilcox found an uncompleted letter addressed Allen, underneath Mrs. Wilcox's pillow, he declared. Great Britain is building a super-airship of revolutionary design which is intended to fly to Bagdad in two days. Colombo in four, and Australia in six, on a regular schedule. It has nogondolas, except those containing the engines, all the accommodations for 140 persons being located within the hull. A special mooring ship of the type shown here will be its base upon water. STRONG DEMAND FOR FRUIT NOW Reports received by local pack- LOCAL INVENTION IS SOLD WIDELY Have you a little pair of shears STRONG DEMAND FOR FRUIT NOW Reports received by local packing house associations show citrus fruit still is in strong demand on eastern markets. The mid-season varieties of Florida were selling at $5.50 at the packing house and Florida valencias at $5.50 to $6.00. The Florida valencia movement will be strongly under way around April 1. Larger than ever before is the word regarding the Georgia peach crop, one of the important temporary competitors of oranges, and its season is unusually far ahead. Alabama and Mississippi will ship 250 to 275 cars of satsumas this year. So. Ala. has set out 150,000 trees the last year. Figures of the Fruit Trades Federation declare that 85 apples per person are consumed in Great Britain against 53 oranges, the most popular fruit. This market is being developed. If Spain and South Africa combated with So. Calif. in packing and shipping methods they might be formidable competitors, but as it is their fruit doesn't keep as well as American. The advice of packing organizations now is that valencias be held until May 1, but there is little likelihood of that being done. Mid-season shipping sections are just about claimed up. California lemons will be available in the next 30 days combared with 54 last year and 223 in 1923. During the week recently ended So. Calif. shipped 1151 cars of oranges against 190 last year, and in its season to date 11,279 cars against 3112. The State as a whole shipped 1165 cars in the week against 3112. The State as a whole shipped 1165 cars in the week again 31,284 and 14,273 of grapefruit against 18,988. After April 1, California will ship 4,000 cars of navels and 700 of miscellaneous. This will insure amble supplies of oranges to the markets without hastening valencia shipments. OPPONENTS LOSE WASHINGTON, April 2—Opponents of the sale by the shipping board of the five Pacific Mail Steamships to the Dollar Line received another blow today when the Shipping Board selected by a 3 to 2 vote, the motion of Vice-chairman Plummer to submit the legality of the sale to the attorney here will be its base upon water.

The Dodge representatives decided it was time to adjourn and call for written, sealed proposals. The bids came in. Morgan offered $124,650,000—all cash, according to reliable report. But the Dillon and Read bid read $146,000,000, all cash or securities acceptable as the equivalent of cash. The flag of Morgan and DuPont was lowered to a relatively unknown concern. The agreement to sell was signed yesterday. It is now just a matter of detail—the money is all subscribed and ready. Study of the appraisals shows the plant of Dodge Bros. was valued at $44,000,000 — including distributing agencies and branches. The company has other assets, made up largely of cash holdings of $46,000,000, making a total physical value of $90,000,000. The remainder of the $146,000,000 purchase price was paid for good will—the price put on the name of "Dodge Brothers." The story of the sale of the Doheny properties it not so dramatic. It's romance is in the story of E. L. Doheny—the oil prospector who went out with his own donkey and geologist's pick, found a great Mexican oil field and became one of the world's great oil powers. The sale was made to the Pan-merican Eastern Pet. Co., formed a week ago in Delaware, with the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, the British interests and the Chase banking group as its main stockholders. It bought control of Deheny's company and at the same time took over the British-Mexican Oil and Transactions that suffered most.

INDIAN FACES 2 MURDER CHARGES DURANGO, Colo., April 2 — Mormon Joe, aged medicine man of the Ute Indian tribe, faced a second charge of murder today as result of the slaying last night of Joseph Chavez, a Mexican jail mate. Joe, held in the Cortez jail in connection with the burial alive of his 17-day old granddaughter, wrenched a leg from a jail table and felled Chavez, from behind, with one blow, after the latter had childed him for being a "baby killer," according to other inmates of the jail. Two other prisoners overpowered the enraged medicine man and held him helpless but not until h, in his vengeance, had fatally beaten his jail mate. Moran Joe was alleged to have crept stealthily down the jail corridor and to have struck Chavez while the latter was reading in his cell. Chavez was serving a sentence for bootlegging. Plat Nae, son-in-law of Mormon Joe, who is occused of burying his papoose alive, with the body of his dead wife, at the instigation of Joe, was in another part of the jail, but had no connection with the alleged second crime of his vengeance-seeking father-in-law.

EVERYBODY WELCOME. Letters From People Anaheim, March 31, 1925 The Plain Dealer: True to their intention, the Sunday law reformers have started a crusade in favor of a blue law in California by inducing Senator Thos. A. Maloney, a new member from San Francisco—to introduce this kind of legislation before the law-makers now in Sacramento. The bill known as S. 617 is being supported by the San Francisco Barbers' Union, and is said to have "the teeth of a blue law hooked to it." Is not this bill inspired by (jealousy), rather than with the idea of granting men liberty? The idea is saturated with religion, and therefore should not be countenanced by law-makers. The civil statutes of the state are sufficient to bring about law and order six days of the week, and only the question of religion is involved in this Sunday proposition. Men have the freedom to go to church on Sunday or do as they please when they do not interfere with other men's liberties, but this proposed law would shackle the consciences of multitudes of men and women, and therefore turn the state backward. We want no law that would transport us to an age when dissenters were flogged, bound hand and foot, placed in chain gangs and suffered death because they refused to conform to circumscribed ideas of others. The reformers say they will ask for rigid Sunday legislation in 44 states, and thus far their campaign has extended into the legislatures of New York, Minnesota, Nevada and Indiana, as well as the law making body of California.

Plan Long Range Weather Forecast WASHINGTON, April 2.—The National Geographic Society today announced the organization in co-operation with the Smithsonian institution, of a four year expedition to Africa and Asia to conduct measurements in solar radiation. Dr. Chas. G. Abbott, director of the Smithsonian's astrophysiological observatory, has been named director of the expedition. The ultimate goal is perfection of long range weather forecasting through accurate knowledge of the changes in radiation of the sun's heat. Abbott will visit Morocco, southwest Africa and Baluchistan before deciding upon the location of the expedition's field station. A pioneer in solar radiation work, much of the recent progress in weather forecasting is due to Abbott's painstaking labours. Most of his early experiments were conducted in a tiny laboratory here and then at Mount Wilson, Calif. New Special Way To Shampoo Blonde Hair!
