BATTLE IN BLIZZARD TO
GAIN HUNGARY PLAINS

| LONDON, April 5.-Dispatches from
the Carpathians tell of continued
fighting for the plains of Hungary in
blizzard which Irages along the en-!
tire mountain battle front.
A dispatch from Petrograd says the
Austrians have begun the use of ex-
plosive bullets in their desperate de-
fense of the Carpathians to keep the
Russians out of Hungary, according
to the official statement of the Rus
sian general staff made public tonight.
The statement deals entirely with the
situation, as there is a lull or only in
termittent fighting in the rest of the
eastern theater of the war. The
statement follows:
"The Russian offensive in the Car
pathians is developing with success.
Our progress was particularly marked
on April 1 in the section of VOLTA
Miehove in the direction of Uzok pass.
Our troops pressed the Austrians hard
in spite of their stubborn resistance
in which they used explosive bullets.
We captured a number of prisoners,
machine guns, ammunition wagons
and munitions which they were forced
to abandon.
1--WE captured more than 1000 men,
including 100 officers besides ten ma
chine guns in the Carpathians on
Thursday. On the remainder of the
front there has been no particular
change"

T0RRENS' TITLE CERTIFICATES
. CONSTITUTE COMPLETE TITLE
BILL INTRODUCED IN SENATE TO MAKE TITLE CERTIFICATES
EVIDENCE OF OWNERSHIP IN ALL BANK loan CASES
Prominent Labor Measures Pass in Senate Bill Permits the Use
Convcts State Highways Bownc PhersOn Measure Provides
for State Market Commission for Two Years Experiment

measure came mainly from labor mem
bers of the house.
The bill provides that the state de-
partment of engineering may requisi-
ton the wardens of the two peniten-
tiaries for convicts to work on vari-
GUS laterals. Special good time allow
ance for faithful service would be
granted to the prisoners on basis of
two days for each days labor on the
highways.
The Brown-McPherson bill in it's
amended form, provides for a state
market commission, which shall have
general authority to carry on the busi-
ness of receiving from the producers
agricultural, fishery, dairy and farm
products, and the selling and dispos-
ing of the same on commission. He
will maintain in various cities and
towns depots or stations to be used as
commission markets, for the receiving,
care, sale and distribution of the ag-
ricultural, fishery, dairy and farm
products. Producers shall have the
right to consign and deliver such prod
ucts to the state commission market
at any of it's depots or branches, for
sale and distribution.
Section 6 of the act reads: "The
state commission market shall receive
and care for all produce consigned and
delivered to it and shall sell and dis
tribute to dealers, consumers and all
buyers such products to the best pos
advantage of the producer, and, to
the end that the state commission
market be self-supporting shall charge
a commission for the handling of all
products in an amount which in the
judgment of the directors is just and
reasonable All settlements with pro-
ducers shall be made once a month
or oftener, and the market shall re-
tain the commission charged. The
market will have a bureau of CORE
spondence for gathering and dissent
mating information on all subjects re-
lating to the marketing of California
products, and will issue booklets
thereon, and by every practicable
means keep the producers informed of
the supply and demand and at what
market their products can best be
handled
The bill calls for an original appro-
priation of only $25,000, but it is esti-
mated that a successful two years
experiment can be conducted with this
sum.

SACRAMENTO, April 6.-Torrens
title certificates will constitute com
plete evidence of ownership where a
bank wishes to make a loan on the
security of real estate, according to
the provisions of bill introduced by
Senator Brown.
Proponents of the TOrrens law have
insisted that the Torrens certificate
be given preference in all loans on real
estate. They point to the fact that
the law was overwhelmingly ratified
by the people at the last election, and
that it is the duty of the legislature to
do everything possible to strengthen
the Torrens law and popularize the
TCrrenS certificate.
Senator Browns bill does not give
the TOrrens certificate preference in
real estate loans, but it does specific
ally recognize such certificate as COM
plete proof of ownership. The par
ticular provision reads:
"In making loan on the security
of real estate, any bank may rely with
out further search, upon the evidence
title committee known as Torrens title
certificate"
Labor Bills Passed
Any employer refusing to pay wages
five days after they are due to anyone
who has left his employ shall be re-
quired to continue the wages at the
same rate for thirty days as a penalty,
under bill by Senator Lyon, which
was passed by the senate.
A few senators who were in their
seats did not vote, but no negative
votes were cast. The bill also makes
it a misdemeanor for an employer to
refuse or defer wages after they are
due when he is able to pay. The
measure is part of the labor legisla-
tive program.

boards of supervisors to supply vet

3-CENT GASOLINE SOON,
is CLAIM OF CHEMIST

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 6.-Louis
Bond Cherry of Kansas City will apply
for patents on a process by which he
says it will be possible to market gas
oline at a profit for cents a gallon.
Mr.. Cherry says his process will not
only treble the output of gasoline, but
will increase the price on low gravity
oil and dispose of the thousands of
barrels now a drug on the market and
burden to the refiner.
His process is an electro-chemical
one and differs from all others in that
he uses nothing in the conversion of
oil to gasoline but heat, pressure, nat
ural gas and electricity.
Cherry is an electrical engineer.
He has been three years perfecting
his process, and Kansas City chemists
say his discovery undoubtedly will
cheaper and increase the gasoline out
put.

BUMPER BARLEY CROP FOR
ALL SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
ACREAGE REDUCED ON ACCOUNT
OF HIGH WHEAT PRICES
Wheat Crop Promises To Be Largest
in History of State-Damage To
Barley by the Aphs Will Be
Slight This Season

h LOS ANGELES, April 6.-With fa-
vorable growing conditions during the
entire season, Southern California will
produce a second barley crop despite
the fact that the acreage has been
cut to make way for wheat because of
the allurement of high market prices.
The biggest increase in the south is
promised in the Imperial Valley,
where the heaviest grain ever grown
is nearing the harvest.
Taking the state as a whole, accord
ing to the testimony of leading local
grain men, the barley crop will be
just about half that of last year, which
was abnormally large The reason for
the comparatively short crop this year
is the cutting of the acreage, as the
stand is good in all sections and an
unusually heavy crop, per acre, is pre-
dicted. Last years crop was more
than 100000 tons.
The wheat crop, both in Southern
California and the state as whole,
promises to be the largest in history.
The cutting of the Imperial Valley
acreage will commence about April 20
and the harvest in other sections will
begin from one to three weeks later.
The Imperial Valley farmers are
looking for an output of threshed bar
ley of fully 100000 sacks. Up to the
present time no one can give a def
mite estimate as to prices.
On the American side of the Impe-
rial Valley barley has taken up much
of the area where cotton was grown
last year and there is considerable
new territory in the north This is a
result of the European situation,
which reduced cotton values while
benefting the market conditions on
barley.
Last year the Imperial barley acre
age was 71,915, and this year, it is
estimated, fully $4,000 acres are in
barley.
The war against the aphis, which
last year reduced the barley output
materially, is being successfully
waged, and it is expected that the
damage this year will be slight.
Three million lady-bugs have just
been shipped to the valley and are
being distributed among the canta-
loupe and barley growers.
In San Diego County, according to
reports received by local grain deal
ers, the barley acreage is slightly be-
low that of last year, but the stand is
good. In Perris Valley there will be
more wheat than barley produced.

LOS ANGELES, April Gas evi-

Commenting on this situation, Mr..

times talk, but from where 1 sit it
looks as though the people of Los
Angeles county have plenty of money
to pay taxes
The tax rolls for the year 1914-1915
call for 81, 1,725, ,62176 to be collected.
Already the county has received all
but $4,631, ,60554 of that amount
Every day the money is rolling in
in greater volume. There was a gain
of about 100000 last month over the
tax collections for March, 1914.

quent the last Monday in April After

'In February this Office was nearly
100000 ahead of the corresponding
month of last year. We are gaining

Gates that money is lot easier than
it was.

The vessel would be twice as large
as any of the present submarine ten

would be so followed as to enable the

enough to reach a great depth and en-

Italy Postpones Intervention

ROME, April 5.-Intervention has
been postponed again. Despite the
failure of Prince Buelow's negotia-
tions to conclude a permanent agree
ment between Austria and Italy, the
correspondent has evidence, the source
of which may not be given, that this
country will not enter the war till the
end of April, and probably not so early
as that.
1t must not be understood that there
has been any change in Italy's atti-
tude, except in putting off the inev-
table action of Intervention until
date, it is said, when the Dardanelles
have been forced and Constantinople
occupied, possibly with the co-opera-
ton of Bulgaria, and when the Rus
slams will have passed the Carpathi-
ans and permanently invaded Hun
gary.
The delay in intervention is based
upon the possibility that Austria will
forsake Germany and sue for a sepa-
rate peace.

Kaiser Blocks Peace Plans

LONDON, April 5.-With Russian
troops pouring into Galicia through
every mountain pass, with the de-
defenses of Hungary broken down, and
with Italy massing her army on the
south, the situation of Austria is the
gravest since German troops crushed
the empire, more than fifty years ago.
From Rome comes the report that
Austria is, to sue for separate peace.
This is not credited here, for it is
felt that the grip of the kaiser is too
strong on Franz Josef's empire to per-
NIT a peace plea so soon, but it is the
belief here that the fall of PrZemysl
has opened the way for campaign
that will be the beginning of the end.
The allies in the western theater of
war have been awaiting decisive
move on the part of Russia, and now
that it has come, the million fresh
troops of England and the armies of
France will begin their. giant drive as
soon as spring has opened.
