EVERYONE BUT TIE FOX
 SATISFIED AT SALES
 SEATTLE FUR EXCHANGE

"One-sixty One-sixty- y-five, do hear? All done? All done!"
 Crash!
 A silver fox pelt is knocked down to the highest bidder at the Seattle Fur Exchanges auction.
 What? A silver sold for $165
 Yes, indeed. And many were bought for less by fur buyers, who came from all over the country to attend the auction sale at the Olympic hotel
 Old trappers still tell of winter-long hunts thru northern woods, of trails followed in vain, of robbed traps, and of sly insolent bark in the next rav- inc; all experienced in the pursuit of the one lone fox And if their tails end in triumphant capture, they rub their hands and go on to tell how they spent the thousand dollars. For those were the good old days when a fox was fox!
 But now! One hundred and sixty five dollars!
 And, strangely enough, everyone is satisfied. According to Joe Agnew, head of the Seattle Fur Exchange and auctioneer at all the sales, there are many times more silvers sold now than 15 years ago. The silver fox pelts on the market today are farm raised, almost to a tail. Twenty years ago they were so scarce as to be con- sidereds rarity.
 Today, not only milady, but every body's stenog can wear that beautiful, silver-dusted onyx fur with the blaz- ing white tip to it's tail.
 Yes. Everyone is satisfied-every- one but the fox.

The children had gone to watch

children could be heard for several
blocks. Many were trampled in the
rush for exits.
Parents gathered at the front of
the theatre. They interfered great

Rescue squads were formed to &c
into the theatre but were able to

Crews Battling
Burning Well
by United Press Leased Wire

WHITTIER, Calf, Nov. 12.-
Crews of workers were engaged in
boring tunnels today in an effort tC
reach the castings of the blazing fire
raging at well Number 2 of the
Bellvicw Oil Company in the Santa
Fe Springs district.
Through these tunnels, the fire
fighters hoped to carry off the gas
pressure through side pipes and thus
extinguishing the flames that have
been spouting from the well since
it came in gasser last Friday.
The method is identical to the one
used in controlling the Getty No
II oil well which burned recently
for 40 days several hundred yards
from the scene of the present con
flagration.
The Bellview blaze has already
caused one death and tremendous
damage. j. II. Taylor, a worker,
was killed when heavy timber fell
on him while he was dismantling a
nearby derrick in an effort to pre-
vent its destruction by the spread
ing flames.

ERUPTION OF
VOLCANO SEEMS
TO BE LESSEN|E'D
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent'


CATAN1A, Sicily, Nov. 12.-The
devastating eruption of Mount
Aetna-whiclf already has caused
damage approaching between half a
billion and billion liar and has
destroyed two vllages-appeared
Stacking today.
But even this slackening found
volcanologists still unwilling to pre-
dict an end to the relentless surge
of molten lava from the great pit.
AS they pointed out, Aetna is the
most freakish of all volcanoes.
The lavic force coming down the
mountainside was less speedy and
less srcadescent. CInly here, and
there this morning could be 'seen
the glowing red fire in the black
molten mass that spread along the
channels.
The stream at Nunziata and the
nearby town of Nunziatella was
almost stationary while the stream
which destroyed Carrabba was
moving slowly. The er'lptive force
at the crater's top also geemed to
be slowed considerably.
The destruction of Carrabba was
pitiful sight. Early Sunday the
lavic force moved relentlessly upon
the village, which, of course, had
been evacuated just as have most
of the Villages in the danger area.
There was nothing left of the little
village after the hot tide had rolled
through the city. The correspon-
dents watched the thick lava strike
one building, crash it and rass on
without a trace being left.

Shooting Scrape
On East Side

Alfredo Mendoza is in the county
hospital, with three bullet wounds
in his legs, and Bonifacio Delgado
is a prisoner in the county Jail, as
the result OF q weekend feud on
the east side.
According to reports given to the
police, the men had an argument at
an east side dance hall Saturday
night, in which Delgado came off
second best, being badly slashed
with a knife said to have been
welded by Mendoza.
Yesterday morning about Il
o clock, Dclgado decided to even up
matters and went cunning for Men
doza. He found the latter on State
street, and opened fire Immediately.
Three of his bullets landed ON the
mark, inflieting flesh wounds which
will keep Mendoza a patient for
some time.
There was a grand scurrying for
cover when Deigado unlimbered his
artillery and Il hurried call was
sent for the police. Officer Penning,
ton hastened to the scene and placed
Delgado under arrest. The latter
readily admitted the shooting, the
police said, and declared it was his
intention to kill Mendoza.
because of the holiday, no action
was taken in the matter today, and
it was expected the district attor-
ney'S office would file charge
against Delgado tomorrow.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12.-On his
own word, City Councilman Carl /.
Jacobson was stripped to his winter
flanncls in the bedroom of Mrs.
Callie Grimes one August night in
1927.
But - a police raiding party. and
not himself was responsible for this
partial exposure, the city official
said in a statement today.
When the lights went out in Mrs.
Grimes bedroom that night two men
grabbed him and when the lights
came on again he was minus his
trousers and his shoes, jacobson
said.
This forcible removal of clothing
was part of the plot to " Frame
him, the councilman explained. Af-
ter taking his trousers and shoes
the officers then arrested him on a
morals charge and he was forced to
stand trial for "resorting.
Mrs. Grimes in an affidavit sworn
last week said the councilman stuck
by his clothing despite her best at
tempt to induce him to remove it.
She said he was dressed fully at all
times.
This discrepancy in testimony
jacobson said, resulted from the
fact that Mrs. Grimes hid in q
clothes closet when the lights went
out and consequently had no oppor,
tunity to observe him in his under
wear.
With the explanation of the diff
ference in Jacobson s raiment, the
councilman and Mrs. Grimes agree
on all things and especially ON the
point that police officers and un
dcrworld leaders conspired with Mrs
Grimes to trap the councilman sc
that his vigorous anti-vice crusadcs
could be stopped.
More Indictments Coming
The grand jury tomorrow is ex
pected to conclude it's investigation
into this asserted plot, from which
Mrs. Grimes purportedly received
$2,l40 for her attempt TO seduee the
councilman.
Five ranking police officers may
be indicted for their part in the
raid. Albert Marco, vice lord who
was said to have paid the money to
Mrs. Grimes, already is in Jail under

FEDERAL GRADING
| OF VALLEY hay
SEEMS ASSURED
Growers Pledge Support
At Meeting Held Here
Saturday.

Federal-state hay grading is prac-
tically assured Imperial valley, ac-
cording to sentiments expressed at
the meeting of state and federal of
ficials with valley growers Satur,
day night in the courthouse. The
meeting was marked by an excellent
attendance and much enthusiasm
was manifested by those interested
in the movement.
Belief that the project will meet
with success lies in the fact that
500 cars of hay up to June 30, 1929
are needed to assure a federal hay
inspector at Los Angeles and 545
cars of this amount was promised at
Saturdays meeting, with hopes of
the entire quota being rased in the
county.
John Gresham, president of the
Imperial Valley Hay Improvement
Association, presided with S. E.
Robinson, Farm Bureau president,
taking an important part in the
evenings affairs.
George Hecke, director of the
ture, addressed the meeting, express
ing the interest of his department
in the movement and assuring the
growers of his cooperation. AS
proof of the department s intention,
a good sized sum of money has been
turned into a fund devoted for this
work.
Nels Olsen, chief of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, U. 5. u. A,
spoke on the project from a federal
angle, stating that if hay grading is
wanted in California, it would have
to be put on a commercial basis i'll
stead of an educational basis, which
has been the rule heretofore. Both
Olsen and Hecke stressed the point
of whether the inspection service
would be patronized if provided,
and received very emphatic promises
from all growers present at the
meeting.
r. n. Wilson, manager of the de-
partment of agriculture, California
Development Association, spoke in
favor of the movement and stated
his organization is planning to call
a meeting, seeking the support of
the grower, consumer and dealer to-
wards cooperating in the project.
Discusses Tariff
An interesting talk concerning
the tariff problem was given by
Edgar Brossard, member of the L. 5.
Tariff commission. He outlined
what could be done concerning the
pea and tomato tariff, advising the
gathering that if raise in tariff
on California winter vegetables is
sought, the best method was to get
bill through the short session of
congress, rather than to put the
matter before the tariff commits.
sion.
l.. M. Jeffers, chief of the Bureau
of Warehouse and Grain Standard
zation, state department of agricul
ture, emphasized the Importance of
standardization, and stated the hay
grading would benefit both the
grower and consumer.
Other speakers were A. c. Hardi
son, chairman agricultural legisla-
tive committee and r. f. Blair, as
sociate chief of the bureau of field
crops.
The following growers promised
hay, aggregate 345 carloads: George
Austin, p n. Ferguson, John Gresh-
am, f. V. Edwards, S. E. Robinson, j.
R. Snyder and Meyers of Westmor-
land.
