ORANGE CROP SHORT

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 2.-State Hort
culturist Cook, in crop report issued
today, slightly bearij III in nature, con-
tive to a decrease of the orange. lemon
over the 1911 crop.
In San Joaquin valley, which is rec
ognized as heavy producing sec
tion for oranges, the crop will not
likely be SO per cent of normal South
of the Tehachapi the orange crop will
be about equal to that of last year.
In the Sacramento valley, according
to the report of the horticulturist the
harvest is already under way and some
early shipments have been made. The
crop will be less than ormal but will
bring good returns because of it's eX-
ceptional development. The Butte
county crop is looking we'll and ap-
proximately a crop OF S5 per cent of
a full crop is promised from that dis
trict. No material change has devel-
oped in the orange situation through
out the entire state since the isSu-
ance of the September report, accord
ing to the report.
There i, little change in the lemon
situation since the preliminary report
of this fruit crop was made pubn~
by the horticulturist in September. An
eXceptio onally fine setting of winter
fruit is reported from Ventura county.
Los Angeles county reports indicate
a crop equal to rs per cent of last
years. Other lemon growing districts
report as good or better prospects.
The few hundred lemon growing
trees in Butte county are thought TO
bear a first class crop.
The entire lemon production this
year, according to the horticulturist

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 2-General
Homer p. Lea, famous throughout the
world as the personal adviser of Sun
Vat Sen during the revolution in China
and as the author Of THE Valor nf
ignorance" died yesterday at his
home, 135 Wadsworth avenue, Ocean
Park, after an illness that has been
serious since his return from China lat
May.
He leaves a widow and two sisters.
Mrs Lea was with her husband wher,
death ensued. One sister, Elsa Lea, IS
also here. The other, Mrs Emile
White, resides in Alaska.
General Lea is known as widely il

latest books, THE Saxon of Today"
was published three months ago by
Harper brothers. In China General
Lea held the rank of lieutenant general

of Sun Vat Sen during the revolution.
His American friends credit him
with many reforms achieved by the
new government of China ONLY a few
days after the republic was declared.
General Lea collapsed under the strain
and was brought home to southern
california. He gained strength and
was soon able to ride about the beach
IN a wheel chair, and appeared to he

EXPOSES OPIUM GRAFT

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2.-The first
real expose of the inner workings of
what is known as the Pacific Mail
opium gang" which is credited with
having smuggled more than $500, 900
worth of opium into this port, was
made to United States District Attor-
ney John L. McNab by officers of the
transpacific liner Manchuria.
AS a result of the revelations, three
officers Of the Manchuria and two un-
named customs officers were implicat-
ed as leaders of the smuggling ring.
The accused officers are Second Of
fcer W. w. Riehl, Fourth Officer r. w.
Locke and Watchman c. Svogar. In
addition to these men a dozen Chinese,
some being members of the Manchu-
ria's crew, were implicated as the
agents who carried the drug aboard
the steamer at Chinese ports.
The exposure came about in a tragic
way, and the story as it was unfolded
from the lips of Purser John Philip
Bourne, Chief Engineer William l..
Bunker, DIR. Conrad Richter, the ships
surgeon, and Third Officer r. M. Zu-
vic, was extremely dramatic.
But for the accidental drowning of
Fourth Officer Edward Morse on Sep
tember 27 the exposure probably would
not have occurred. 1t was when Morse,
according to the witnesses, attempted
to swim ashore, towing 400 cans of
opium, to confederate shipmates who
were waiting in an automobile for the
stuff, that he lost his life. The con-
federates, upon finding Morses body,
tried to conceal all evidence of the
smuggling plot by attaching a weight
to the corpse and sinking it. But in
the warm waters of Manila bay the
body did not sink. The day following
the drowning it dragged it's anchor
and appeared on the surface and was
recovered.

should be at least S5 per cent of last
years.
In olives the shortage will be fel,
the most. The olive harvest is about
to begin and the earlier reports of an
extremely short crop are well support
ed in the information that has been
received by Professor Cook. A crop
only half as large as that of last year
l.; the present prediction. The crop IS
short in every olive growing district.
None of the sections have been more
fortunate than others.
In the Sacramento and san Joaquin
valleys, olive growing ha suffered e.
tensively. The entire crop in the state
when harvested Will show a material
decrease over last years and a large
decrease under normal.
In all the orange, lemon and olive
reports are far from being optimistic
in tone.

Peculiar Great Register

A number of prominent citizens of
Imperial are much concerned over the
index to the great register, which ha.
Just been printed, as they are set forth
as housewives or housekeepers. Attor
ney r. d. McPherrin, for instance, ap-
pears as housekeeper, while john
K. Musser appears as housewife.
whether similar mistakes were made
in the register of other precincts is
not known. But the question, aside
from the embarrassing situation, is
raised whether this designation dis
qualities the voters. 1t is not believed
it will do so, but some doubt is felt.
