SHOWS five days out of every five the
year round and where there are no
native land mammals. At one time
the bottom of the world was a center
for sealing operations and in one year
q feet of 10 sealers took $1,000 Ant
arctic fur seal pelts. OF course, this
slaughter meant practical determination
of the seals, so that now the land has
become the headquarters for the
greatest whaling industry on earth.
The major feature, however, Inside
the Lines" is the story of a great
love that concerns Jane Gershon and
her fiance, Eric Woodhouse. who sepa-
rate in Germany upon declaration Of
war. They meet In the British fortress
at Gibraltar as German spies: Jane
poses as the daughter Of an old friend
of the governors family, and Wood
house Is supposedly a British officer.
Jane is to secure the key to the mine
control field in the harbor. Eric sur
prises her by stealing the key. She
tries to dissuade him from destroying
the British fleet, then coming into the
harbor. He notices gun covering Jane
and he gives the key to her and at the
same time tells her that she Is sending
him to his death. He goes behind a
map rack. A shot is heard. A trusted
Hindu servant enters, upbraids her as
q traitor to the fatherland and threat
ems to kill her and fix the blame for
the feet destruction upon her.
The denouement Is brought about,
Aowever, in a happy and thrilling
manner.

Two navy seamen were missing anG
given up for dead today and three
others were seriously injured as the
result of an explosion aboard a
lunch which lay at the side CT the
airplane carrier L. S. S. Saratoga in
the harbor here.
The explosion, freakish in char,
acter, occurred late yesterday when
;he launch returned to the carrier
after taking Captain f. j. Horne of
the Saratoga, ashore.
The launch was refueling along
side the Saratoga when waves forced
it to scrape along the hull of the
airplane carrier. Sparks produced by
the contact communicated to the gas
tank of the launch, causing the ex.
ploSion.
\ part Of the gig was thrown 50
high that it landed on top of the
big ships smokestack. Flames swept
up the side of the Saratoga, but were
controlled after they had ignited
paint and caused dense clouds of
black smoke.
The missing men We're Mathew

and Vincent Laler, %, engincman,

The injured, held aboard the hos.

MISLABELINC OF
GRAPEFRUIT TO
BE CONTESTED
County Files Complaint
Against Practice OF
Coast Merchants.

Investigation undertaken recent
lv has disclosed the fact that coast
grown grapefruit, stamped with
the word "Imperial,' is being sold
in Los Angeles and suburban
towns, giving the purchasers the i'm
preston that they are buying I'm
perial fruit which commands pre-
inm on the market because OF its
low acid content.
Rumors os this practice reached
the valley and Elmer Heald, dis
triet attorney, and B. A. Harrlgan'
agricultural commissioner. with
Frank Kramer of the state depart
ment of agriculture, checked un on
the facts and yesterday comolalnt
was filed in Los Angeles by the de-
partner. Of agriculture against the
Waldnan Meffert company for mis-
labelling their fruit
The complaints were drawn up
by Head and by G. w. Nix, city
prosecutor for Los Angeles, and an.
other complaint was also filed b.
the state against the above men
toned company for the selling of
immature fruit. None of the fruit
labeled Impcrial, tested 81, five
parts of solid to one of acid, while
the requirement for Imperial fruit
is 81. According to Harrigan. prac-
tically all Of the fruit shipped
locally tests II or better.
It was found that the Waldnan
Meffert company was getting 81
more per crate FOR its fruit than
coast grown fruit is bringing, and
that they were underselling 1mpe-
rial ruit for 70 cents per crate.
This practice Of labelling coast
fruit "Imperial" has been found
quite prevalent and already has
done considerable harm to the repu-
tation of Imperial fruit which has
always brought a high price he
cause Of its exceptional sweetness.
Harrigan states.
Arizona fruit is now bringing n
better price than Imperial be-
cause all grapefruit shipped out of
that state bears the label "desert-
grown' and has not become con
fused in the minds of the public
with sour coast fruit as has the
Imuerial.
It is probable that further com
plants viii lie filed and the state
department Of agriculture is max
ing every effort to protect the I'M
perial growers from such practices,
according to IIarrigan.

ATEN EXPLAINS OPPOSITION
TO SEEKING APPROPRIATION

Ira Aten, director Of the Imperial
Irrigation district from Fl Centro,
has furnished the Press with the
following copy of his statement to
the board of directors, explaining
his reasons for opposing the plan to
ask congress for a flood control ap
preparations:
"To the Board of Directors,
Imperial Irrigation District,
"El Centre, California:
"I wish to make a statement Of
my position in regard to Mr.

gress for an appropriation for river

MY position is, that the Imperial
Irrigation district has we'll in hand

FOX PREPARES
TO FIGHT PLAN
FOR RECEIVER

NEW YORK, Jan. 3. W.D-Wil-
liam Fox, who nurtured a mexico
deon in musty Brooklyn storeroom
until it grew into vast theatrlcai
organization, catering amusement to
millions of persons, is not going to
let the child of his genius be wrest-
Cd from his grip without fight.
He didn't use the word fight
but in the fashion of business men,
he issued a statement Of the Fox
Film Corporations financial condi:
ton az an answer TO open threats OF
receivership.
The statement, which showed the
assets of the corporation, over and
above all liabilities, to be in excess
of S73.OO0,000 and the estimated
earnings for 1929 over $4,000, 900,
seemed to say for Fox:
Here, you who would throw me
INTO reccivership. Read this state
mcnt. You haven't got a leg to
stand on"
The threat of receivership came
in an announcement by Stanley w.
Lazarus, counsel for the Glass \
Stockholders Protectice committee.
Although the Class \ stockholders
have no vote in the affairs of the
company, which only recently passed
from the personal control of its
founder to n committee of trustees
including Fox, the announcement was
interpreted in Wall Street rs ges-
tEre TO force Fox out.
According to Wall Street resources
the stockholders want to push Fox
out because they feel he is too ambi-
tious and blame him for the com
pany's losses when the stock market
collapsed. Fox had been planning
to acquire control of Loew's, Inc,
at the time of the crash and spent
millions in bringing talking pictures
to the fore.
With the market break, Fox man
aged to obtain n loan-said to have
been as high as - 900 900, ,000-with
stipulation that committee of three
trustees, including Fox, be created
to oversee the corporation.
