Church federation.

SCALE INFECTED FRUIT
Gets HERE FROM NORTH
PorterviIIe Orange Found to Have
ThripS-Fumigation Is
Ordered

Carelessness on the part of orange
shippers in the PorterVille district is
menacing the citrus fruit industry IN
Los Angeles county.
Two carloads of citrus fruit from
Porterville, consisting mostly of navel
oranges and grapefruit and badly in
fected with thrips, which is considered
more deadly and ruinous than any
species of SCALE arrived In Los An
geles yesterday morning.
Vigilance on the part of A. R. Me-
serve, horticultural commissioner for
Los Angeles county, and his deputies,
resulted in the discovery Of the con-
dition of the shipment and in its being
Immediately quarantined pending a
thorough fumigation.
Except for the fact that the two
Los Angeles firms to which the fruit
was consigned, the Frank Simpson
Fruit company and Richardson G.
Holmes, urgently requested fumiga-
ton, after which they could make
good sales, Mr.. Meserve would have
ordered the fruit sent back to Porter
vile and its consignors immed1ately
He granted the requests of the con-
signeeS, however, but issued the man
date that hereafter all fruit lnfectec
with the deadly thrips shall imme
diately be sent back to whence Il
came.
Mr.. Meserve is authority for the
statement that thrips which is 9
species of thysanoptera, or small
and rapidly breeding fly scourge, Is
more to be dreaded than any kind OF
SCALE He said that the thrips on the
Portervulle fruit is that which estab-
fishes itself on oranges especially, and
which has obtained such a control
over the trees in the northern orange
belt that the growers there obtain all
of their nursery stock in Los Angeles
and neighboring counties, where Or
anges flourish and are free from the
pest which is making such an lnroad
in other orchards.
Because of the fact that oranges in
the Porterville district mature earlier
than they do in this section, the deal
ers in Los Angeles at this time of year
are nearly always in receipt of ship
ments of citrus fruit from the north.
Mr.. Meserve and his deputies Will
keep sharp eyes upon all conslgn-
merts from there and see to it that
no pest has the opportunity to menace
the healthy citrus groves of Los An
geles county.

WATCHMAN TIED
AND SAFE ROBBED
Four CraCksmen Blow Open Cash
Box in Feed Stables and
Secure Sixty Dollars
GUARD is BOUND TO A POLE
WatChman Is Suddenly Over
powered and SiIenced by
Band of Yeggmen

While one man held a revolver to
the head of Seymour Nolan, night
watchman at the D. P. Flory feed
stables, 1920 East Seventh street, after
he had been bound to a telephone pole,
three other cracksmen blew open the
safe in the stable office and got away
with $50 in cash, early yesterday
morning
Though the police searched the city
all yesterday, no trace has been found
of the cracksmen. owing to the dark
ness, Nolan was unable to give the
authorities the slightest clew.
According to Nolan, the four men
approached him in front of the stables
about 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning
and covered him with a gun. When
he threw up his hands he said the
yeggmen carried him to the foot Of a
telephone pole a few feet away and
bound him to the pole so tightly that
he feared the cords would cut through
the veins in his arms and legs. While
one man pressed his revolver against
the prisoners temple, he said the
other three blew open the safe in
the office.
The cracksmen made two attempts,
Nolan says. The first charge of ex-
plosive was ineffective, but the second
completely shattered the safe door. In
a few moments the three men gath
cred up the money that lay scattered
on the floor and after warning Nolan
again to KEEP his mouth shut fled.
Nolan remained bound to the tele-
phone pole for an hour and half.
He was found half fainting by a
stable hand who came to work short
ly after 6 o'clock. The watchman's
arms and legs were blue from the
binding of the cords and he was suf-
fering from shock.
The police were notified and Detec-
tives Carroll and Ingram arrived at
the feed stable at $50. Nolan told the
officers that the burglars approached
him in the dark and that it would be
impossible to give any description of
the men.
Though a large bundle Of cotton ives
found at the foot of the pole h" the
officers, Nolan denied that he had
been gagged. 1t is believed the cracks
men intended to use the gagg,ig, but
since the watchman was sufficiently
cowed by the revolver that was kept
against his temples they threw the
cotton away.
Nolan is about 21 years old and
lives at 1917 Central avenue.

ARTISTS SUPPORT
CHARITY PROGRAM
Prominent Singers and Musicians
to Appear at Benefit for
Mrs. Vidal
SUPERB FEATURES PROMISED
Response by Public for Worthy
Cause Now Expected to
Be Generous
SUPERB FEATURES PROMISED

An opportunity to save Mrs. Dolores
VidaPs home for her and her two
daughters is up to the ticket-buying
public. The efforts of many generous
artists who have volunteered their serv-
ices for the evening will be blended
into a remarkably attractive program
on Tuesday evening, November %.
Not only is the cast almost wholly pro-
fessional, but several numbers are the
original composition of the performers.
So far the entire program has not
been scheduled, but among the num-
bers already determined, one which will
cause great interest is the singing of
Miss Alice Lohr.
Miss Lohr is a student of grand opera
and has made such progress with her
rich full contralto that Madame Schu-
mann Heink prophesied a wonderful fu-
ture for her. Miss Lohr is an advocate
of the presentation of grand opera in
English. At present she is studying
under CaEl Bronson. She will be ac-
companied Tuesday night by Homer
Grunn, one of Los Angeles new pian-
lists, whose early career in the city is
already identified with charitable in
clinations.
Another pupil of Mr.. Bronson's who
will appear on the benefit program is
William Delamore, the poSSessor of an
more has not determined on the selec-
tions he will sing, but he also will be
accompanied by Mr.. Grunn.
SPLENDID PROGRAM PROMISED
Carl Bronson and E. M. Bonnell form
the program committee, and it is due
largely to their kindness and efforts
that the entertainment can boast such
splendid numbers.
If the general reading public re-
spends half so promptly or half so
generously as the artists of the city,
Mrs. VidaPs home will be saved and
she will have cause for the most pro-
found thanksgiving. Regardless of
sumptuous surroundings or jovial home
gatherings, in spite of overwhelming
arrays of mince and pumpkin pies or
cranberry -smothered turkeys cooked to
turn, there will be no place in Los
Angeles where Thanksgiving festivities
will be so warmly kept or thanks more
devoutly given than in the family of
Mrs. Vidal and her two girls if their
home is secured to them.
1t is hoped the purchase of tickets
will not be put off too long, as those
things which we forget to attend to to-
day we are apt to forget tomorrow"
