Orange Growing District OF
the Valley

SAN BERNARDINO, May 2.-The
Florida orange growers who are tour
ing this end of the state, acquainting
themselves with the methods and con-
ditions of the California growers,
passed through this city late yesterday
afternoon, after a trip throughout the
entire valley in automobiles which had
been secured at San Bernardino, Red
lands and Highland. The party was
taken across the Santa Ana river,
north to Highland avenue, by the
Sherrod and other prize orchards,
thence west to Palm avenue, in High
land, and on to Base Line and thence
int othis city, through the very pick. of
orange orchards of the valley.
Stops were made at the packing house
and proceeding plant In East High
land and also at Highland, SO that the
visitors saw not only the orchard but
the manner in which the fruit was
prepared for market.
The Florida excursionists were very
much pleased with their trip, and one
of the prominent men of the party is
quoted as saying, You ought to be
good-you have SO much to be thank
full for"

His Life
Especial to The Herald

SAN BERNARDINO, May 2.-Three
Mexicans, Luz Delardo, REEVE Del
gardo and Claro Delgardol were
brought from Barstow this morning to
serve ninety days in the county Jail for

The men are laborers and were en-
ployed on the Santa Fe under Section
Foreman John Hoover at Newberry, a
short distance from Barstow. Yester-
day all three of the Mexicans went to
the section boss house and forclbly
took an automatic shotgun from him.
Later Hoover went over to the station
and tried to argue with the men, and
one of them hit him over the head
with the shotgun and so dazed him
that they threw him down and re-
lieved him of an automatic revolver.
The only thing which saved Hoover s
life is the fact that the Mexicans. In

PASADENA TAKES ON USUAL
oUIETUDE OF LATE SEASON
Two Large Hotels Close, but Mary
land viii Keep Open for
EIks' Reunion

PASADENA, May with the shut
ting up of the big hotels, two of which
have closed for a year, Pasadena is
taking on its usual annual quietude.
Already the streets show the difference
in the number of pedestrians and the
crowds accustomed to be seen in the
winter are thinning out with the return
of the tourists to the east.
The Maryland, one of the three larg-
est hotels, will remain open at the re-
quest of the Elks. who wanted at least
one of the Pasadena hostelries to re-
main open for the accommodation of
the visitors who will come here for the
grand lodge meeting in July. The other
large hotels were requested to be kept
open during the Elks' reunion, but de-
clined as the reopening of the house
for short time would entail too much
expense.
Owing to the fact several conventions
are scheduled for the summer at Pasa-
dena and Los Angeles, Manager Lin
nard Of the Maryland expects at least
to make expenses during the summer.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
1924 Pacific Electric Bldg.

NEW YORK, May 2-The speculative senti-
ment as reflected in the action of the stock
market underwent some unsettlement in the
early part of last week, but price recoveries
later indicated a reinstatement OF confidence.
1t is quite generally recognized that the pres
ent position owes much to the poor money
situation, and the wavering of prices was
traceable to this influence to large extent
The close of the preceding week had a hard
ening in the call money rate to per cent, the
highest since the first week in January OF this
year
The bank statement made it clear that the
demand for credits In connection with the
syndicate subscriptions to new bond issues, nad
encroached on supplies to an extent that made
bankers more cautious in extending accommo-
dations for speculative purposes.
Suspicion was aroused towards the market
as a whole by this evidence of artificial condi-
tions in special stocks In some instances there
were blunt denials made by officials OF rumors
of intended dividend increases which had been
used in forcing up prices in. such cases
The final stages OF transition of the sover-
eighty In Turkey caused some uneasiness
abroad which was reflected in the local mar
ket The revival OF anxiety over the prospects
of delay in the enactment of the tariff revision
measure contributed to the depression. An
other factor against the market was the I'M
favorable weather conditions for the wheat
crop which gained influence from the renewed
upturn price of wheat.
A powerful factor in soothing the apprehen-
sions was the easing of the money market. The
Increased requirement here had the effect of
attracting funds from outside sources and OF
putting a stop to the gold export movement
The decisive factor in the latter improvements
of speculative sentiment was the conviction
that the steel industry were undergoing turn
for the better.
The publication Of the Steel corporation earn
ipgs for the first quarter Of the year helped
that feeling as those eaanngs were somewhat
better than the preliminary estimates.
or greater effect was the report Of afstiffen-
an several classes of steel
duets The hopefuness in this matter was
helped by the placing of a number of orders
for railroad equipment by number of rail-
way systemic

INTERESTED IN PLAN
TO BUILD WHARFAGE
CITIZENS OF LONG BEACH ARE
CONCERNED GREATLY
Water Frontage Recommended to Be
Purchased Would Cost 100000
and Proposed Improves
ments $45,o00

LONG BEACH, May 2.-Never before
has a movement proposed for the city
aroused the interest that has the propo-
sition to purchase municipal water
frontage along the new Long Beach
harbor and build wharves. The water
frontage recommended to be purchased
would cost $2OOO,OOO and the building of
the wharves S45, 900.
Figures on the proposed wharves
were submitted by the Mercereau Con-
struction company. The plans con-
template a wharf frontage of 46S feet
on channel No. 3, with wharf width
of ninety-five fete. wharf frontage
of 14O feet on slips No. and No. 8,
making a total wharf frontage of 74S
feet at this point. A wharf to be built
south of the bridge would cost, it was
estimated, $4,000. A strip of frontage
202 feet long is included there.
In it's report recommending the pur-
chase the free harbor commission ex-
pressed the following opinion:
I'm the judgment of this committee
the establishment of adequate munich
pal wharfage facilities and the conse-
quent unhampered access to tidewater
by all who seek it on equal terms will
bring a great volume of business to
this point and inevitably result in es-
tablishing terminal rates for the city of
Long Beach, and the city of Long
Beach, with municipal water frontage,
terminal rates and a perfect harbor,
will offer inducements to the manufac-
turing and commercial public which
will result in locating large business
interests at this point. Last and not
least, in the opinion of this committee,
h he fe~ff
a wharf, such as we recommend, Long
Beach will again put herself on record
as city that does things and does
them first F."

Crowds Of Young Men, Usually Con-

PASADENA, May 2.-After a week
of discussion and protest the last of
the pool rooms in this city, not exclud-
ing those conducted by the Japanese,
have decided to yield to the representa-
tons of the police and close on Sun
days. 1t was either enter the agree

ordinance passed SO drastic that 1t
would mean other losses of business.
and the pool rooms did not care to take
the chance.
Consequently, there was no playing
today, and will be none on Sundays
in the future. One of the conse-
ouences of the innovation and the one
most commented on by the people OF
the CITY today, was the fact that the
crowds of young men who have here
tofore been in evidence every Sunday
afternoon and evening in front of the
different places which have kept open
were conspicuous by their absence

BALLOON IN FLAMES
ASCENDS LAST TIME

Fire and Arises
Ablaze

SAN PEDRO, May 2.-Several hun
bred persons were disappointed this
afternoon when the balloon which was
to carry Dick Eariston and his para
chute up for a spectacular drop was
burned at the last moment and nearly
destroyed.
The balloon, which was an old one,
was heavily inflated by hot air and
partially burst just as the aeronaut
was about to ascend. Part of the frail
cloth fell into the flames and in mo-
ment the whole bag assembled. Still
burning, the balloon went up but a
short distance when 1t collapsed and
fell to the ground practically con-
sumed. Many consider the accident a
godsend to Earlston, for should the rot
ten canvas have given way on some
other occasion when the daring aero
naut was ascending a fatal fall might
have been the result

CARRIAGE DRIVERS MAY BEGIN
BOYCOTT AGAINST MERCHANTS

PASADENA, May Aft the plans
discussed by carriage drivers of Pasa-
dena are carried out, the merchants Of
Pasadena in case the request made by
some of them that the public carriages
be forbidden to stand on the main
streets is granted may find themselves
boycotted by the drivers and their
friends. There is some talk of a boy
colt among the drivers, although no
action will be taken until the city
council finally passes on the request Of
the merchants.
The carriage drivers believe, with
their large acquaintance and the
friendship of a number of influential
men, they may be able to stave off the
proposed ordinance which will rele-
gate them to side streets, but if they
do not it is proposed they use all their
influence to turn trade to the mer-
chants who did not sign the petition.

question of consolidating the eighth
grades of the Redondo, Hermosa and

efficiency with a smaller number of
teachers and the use of the superior
equipment offered by the high school
trustees.
The latter have agreed to take the
pupils of the eighth grade under their
wing, should the members of the three
