pots in citrus orchards in cool
weather were underway today IN

verSide and San Bernardino coun-
ties to act on ordinances allowing
only certain types of orchard heat
erS
The old type open pot long in

heaters that produce as little smoke
as possible, but produce more heat,
members OF the committee declared.
Penalties are provided for viola
ton of the proposed ordinances. For
each days operation of heaters that
do not conform to the adopted
standard, then owners will be fined,
it was said.

les; Klyde Young, Ell Monte; j. S.

 Brandished Shotgun
Pile of Rocks Marking Line Is Moved Too Often Says
 James YtIia, So He Threatens Member, Mrs Mar garet FIammia With Loaded Gun-Judge McGrath
 Continues Case With Warning

Warning neighbors crowded po- lice court to-day and provided the principal business features for Judge John F. McGrath. In one instance fists were used to settle the argu- ment, in another a gun was flashed, but there were no serious casualties. < All three cases were continued to permit amicable adjustment of the differences which resulted in four arrests yesterday afternoon and last evening.
 James Yulia, 60, of POI Chase avenue was accused by Mrs Mar garet Flammia of 225 Chase ave- nue of threatening her with a gun. These two had a dispute over a boundary line, which apparently is marked by pile of stones. but the chief difficulty facing Yulia is that the pile of stones is moved too frequently to please him. The shot gun he is alleged to have used to emphasize his intentions of protect ting his property was presented in court,
 Yulia was arrested about year ago on the charge of carrying con- cealed weapons. While on his way to visit his son, who is confined in a government hospital in New York city, Yulia had the misfortune to be hit by an automobile in Exchange Place. When taken to St Mary's hos pital for examination and treatment it was discovered that he was armed with a fully loaded revolver. He was placed under arrest and when arraigned in court was given a warning about carrying weapons.
 To-day when the case was being heard mention was made of Yulia' s previous experience with guns. Your honor," remarked Prosecut- ing Attorney Emil Hummel, this

The payments could be made to the bank of international settle ments at Basic, where they would be held as an. intangible asset con- stituting a guarantee fund.
 Premier Pierre Laval was both cred particularly by parliament s open hostility and the threat to overthrow the cabinet if it seeks to reply to the Hoover project without consulting parliament.
 The foreign office has begun an exchange of views with Belgium and Italy on President Hoover's war debts proposal.
 The moderate socialist, Camille Planche, announced he intended to offer an interpolation in the cham Der of deputies on the Hoover plan. This makes four interpellations scheduled so far.
 The government was said to plan a compromise with the American viewpoint, extending worldwide eco homie aid but maintaining the French demands that the "uncon- ditional reparations payments" be continued by Germany. The integ- rity of the Young plan would be preserved.
 France, the only nation tending to buck the otherwise practically unanimous wave of approval of the Hoover war debts holiday scheme, probably will not reject the Ameri- can proposal completely. it was en- phasized, since the government ap- proves any idea designed to aid Flu ropes economic condition.
 At the same time, France must protect her national interests, it was insisted, and consider the French tax payers.
 The official version of the Hoover proposals was transmitted to the foreign office yesterday by Walter E. Edge, United States ambassador.
 The Hoover plan meanwhile has met with harsh criticism in the French press and unfavorable com ment in the corridors of the senate and the chamber of deputies. Spir- ited debate is expected Friday,

his duties in the registrars office very efficiently and with every effort to aid the g. o. D. organization. The report to-day that he might be op- posed for renomination was received by several prominenet in republican circles with much surprise.
 If the fight on the registrars nom- ination develops, it is expected to be the only serious one in g. o. p. cir cles this year. As for the rest of the ticket. no serious attempt for nom nations are anticipated. Efforts are now being made to interest several in the mayoralty nomination, includ- ing George E. Tracy, Attorney T. F.. Conway, ex-Mayor William B. Hotchkiss, Judge Harry J. Beardsley and ex-Senator Ernest Anderson. None of these men has yet shown any desire for the nomination, it is said Of course, ex-Mayor w. H. Sandland is out of the running in view of the fact that he holds the post of assessor under the present democratic administration.
 Developments in the race for the registrars post are expected to in dicate themselves in the next week or so. In the meantime, the Dillane forces are expected to take steps to strengthen their fort against those who would dislodge the popular in- cumbent.

 Yulia denied that he threatened to shoot Mrs Flammia. The case was continued for sixty days with in structions given to counsel for both sides to have the moving boundary line" anchored before blood was shed. Following court it was neces- sary for the police to hold Yulia and caution him about his temper. He seemed determined to renew the feud and battle with one of his neighbors. Yulia went home with his shotgun but the shell found in it had been removed.
 Morris Ganezer of Plaza avenue owns a junk yard near the Y. M. C. A. building on East Farm street. Of late he has been using part of the "Y" land for his overflow of junk collections. He was warned to-day to confine his accumulations to his own property and given until to- morrow morning to clean-up the premises he had "borrowed."
 The two neighbors who were in- clined to say it with fists were Gui- scope Partial, 35, of Pinehurst ave- nue and Michael Lonergan, 35, of 216 Meriline avenue. When Patrol man Michael Kavanaugh reached the scene one of Lonergan's eyes was badly swollen. Partizi had a bruised chin.
 Judge McGrath was informed this morning that Lonergan protested about cesspool on Partizi's prop erty and Partizi found fault with some arrangement that Lonergan had made to cause water to flow onto his land.
 The two men agreed to the court S suggestion that they find some way in which to remedy conditions so that both would be satisfied. The cases were continued for sixty days.

They went into pursuit O. the sus- pected "hit-and-run' driver shortly after the report was received.
