Los Angeles, January 8.-Twenty-nve
million dollars was the amount fixed to-
day by consensus of opinion regarding the
loss sustained by citrus fruit growers In
the three days freeze ending this morn
ing Earl G. Dezell, assistant general
manager of the California Fruit Growers
exchange, said that accurate estimates OF
damage could not be made for several
days. but s250OO.OOO is regarded as con-
servative estimate. Other estimates run
as high as s40,OoO,0Oo.
Oranges advanced so cents box in the
Los Angeles wholesale market today. This
was direct result of the freeze. Grape
fruit went up % cents a box.
Temperatures around 80 degrees were
expected in some sections of the citrus
region again tonight, but the weather bu-
reau assured growers that tomorrow
morning would mark the end of the neces-
sity of burning smudges in the groves
According to a statement by the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce, which
concluded today a careful inquiry into the
damage to the citrus crops, the early es-
Inmates of loss were exaggerated.
"All expert opinions" the statement
says. are to the effect that the actual
damage will not be known for at least two
weeks Later examinations may show
that not more than 80 per cent of the fruit
has been materially injured
A report from Pomona tonight says that
the growers there are more optimistic
than heretofore, and that probably 80 per
cent of the crop may be saved

AFTER DEATH LIFE

British Scientist lakes

CAN TALK WITH THE DEAD
Under Certain Conditions Sir Oliver
Is Convinced Of the
Possibility

Birmingham, Sept. l0.--The inau-
gural address delivered by Sir Oliver
Lodge, this years President of the
British association, which began its
annual meeting in Central hall here
today, had been more eagerly await
ed than almost any other similar ut
terance in the history of the associa-
ticn. Sir Oliver, as is well known,
is one of the most advanced of
present-day SCIENTISTS in the sense
that he utterly condemns the failure
of science as a whole to take into con
sideration the discoveries, or alleged
discoveries, OF those who are engag-
ed in what is nown as psychical re-
search.
1t was at first reported that Sir
Oliver would deal with one or more
OF the subjects that are popularity
grouped under the term "occultism."
This report was later denied, but tn.
earlier statement proved to be cor.
rect, and the address was fully as
sensational" from a scientific point
of view, as the most ardent advocates
Of more liberal view of the results
of recent investigations in the psy-
chical field could desire.
About 1900 persons listened to Sir
divers address, including many men
and women celebrated in various sci.
entiilc fields. Lord Rayleigh presid-
ed in the absence of Sir Edward
Schafer, the retiring President of the
British Association.
Sir Oliver Lodge in his Presiden.
tial address chose the subject of
Continuity" He attacked the mod
ern scientific tendency to deny the
existence of anything which makes
no appeal to organs of sense. and urg
ed belief in ultimate continuity as
essential TO science. He reiterated
bis belief in the freedom of the will
and in the persistence of personality
after bodily death, concluding with
the assertion that, to his mind, the
evidence went to prove that discar.
nate intelligence, under certain con.
ditions. might react with mankind on
the material side, thus indirectly com
ing within the scientific ken.
