BETTER DEMAND
IN HAY MARKET

Continued light receipts of alfalfa
hay, continued with a good demand
and absence of selling pressure, gave
the market an upward tendency
throughout the week and led to ar
increased business in round lots fol
prompt and nearby shipment.
The better demand. which is really
nothing more than the gradual returr
to a normal demand and normal bust,
ness, brought out very quickly one OF
the strong factors underlying the sit.
uatiOn namely: the reduction of sup
plies in the hands of dealers and users
to far below normal, in fact to =
record breaking low minimum, as q
result of which the stage had beer
reached when it became a serious
handicap in the carrying on of bust
ness.
There were 800 tons received on The
Los Angeles tracks the week ending
May 14th, with 40 tons held over as
against 800 the week before. There
were 839 tons received in San Fran
cisco the week ending May 14th.
Northern prices-No. dairy alfalfa
SIT; standard dairy, SIS.
Southern prices-Rabbit alfalfa
$27; No. 1 dairy, $23; standard, $50.

FORMER CLERK
UNDER ARREST

Some time ago a man named T. S.
jenkins who was employed by the Irri-
cation District in Calexico in the pur
chasing department, was let out be-
cause he did mot fif the job" as stat
ed, and yesterday he was arrested at
Long Beach on a charge of issuing
bogus checks. According to the sher-
ifs office Jenkins is said to have
removed from the check book to which
he had access about 20 checks which
1t is alleged he filled out and cashed
at various places in Los Angeles and
Long Beach to an amount of $1,000.
The matter was kept quiet for some
time but with the arrest the news
leaked out. The district attorney said
they had such case iii his office but
that he personally was not familiar
with the details. Jenkins is said to
have been married and is about 40
years of age.
A report says that Jenkins stoutly
denies guilt and also that the amount
was more than twice the figure noted
above.

HEART FAILS
To STAND
SEVERE
SHOCK
Franklin X. Lane, Famed
California Statesman and
Lawyer Passes Out After
Undergoing Major Surgi-
cal Operation.
(By Associated PreSs)

ROCHESTER, Mimi, May 49,
Franklin K. Lane, former secretary OF
the interior, died in the Mayo Brothers
hospital here this morning of heart
failure, following shock Of an opera
ton for kidney trouble.
1t was often said of Franklin X
Lane that if he had been born in the
United States instead of Canada, he
would have been presidential timber.
After serving seven years in Presidnt
Wilson's cabint, as secretary of the
interior, he resigned his $4,000 d
year post in expensive Washington
early in 1920 "in justice to his fam
lily" to become vice president and legal
adviser of the Mexican petroleum
companies controlled by Edward L.
Doheny.
Born near Charlottetown, Prince
Edward Island, July Is, 1864, the son
of a Canadian doctor who removed to
California during the boys childhood,
young Lane was educated at the Uni
versity of California from which he
was graduated in 1886. BY reason of
his scholastic achievements the hon.
orary degree Of LII. d. was conferred
upon him some years later by his alma
mater and by New York and Brown
universities and the University of
North Carolina.
Upon leaving college he engaged in
newspaper work, becoming part own
er and editor of the Tacoma, WASH,
Daily News. In 1889 he was admitted
to the bar of California and from 1897
until 1902 served as corporation coun-
sci of San Francisco. In the later
year he was the democratic candidate
for governor of California but was
not elected. He received the party
vote of the state legislature in 1908
for United States senator. Appointed
a member of the interstate commerce
commission by President Roosevelt in
1906, later becoming chairman, Mr..
Lane was serving in that capacity
when he was made Secretary of the
Interior.
When the United States entered the
war in 1917, Secretary Lane in num-
Der of public speeches outlined the
country's purpose and urged business
men to show Sacrifices as worthy as
those of the men on their way to the
trenches" In numerous addresses in
behalf of the liberty loans he declared
the defeat of the United States was
"unthinkable" and that the govern
ment was determined to see the war
fought to a finish. When peace came
he devised plans for the employment
of returning troops, urged congress to
Federalize the Americanization of the
foreign-born, aided in the reconstruc-
tion of France and other war-torn ma
tions and advocated immediate pas
sage of. the bill to give farms to the
soldiers. He was also active in the
council for National Defense and the
American Red Cross.
Mr.. Lane married in 1893 Miss Anne
Wintermute of Tacoma, Wash. Two
children, were born to them, Mrs
Nancy Lane Kaufman of Washing.

venture to say that the greatest
things we shall record in the years Of

standing and service. If we can have
that spirit and do these things for our
