COOLIDGE DECREE IS FORWARD STEP BY DAVID M. CHURCH (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Dec. 12.—President Coolidge's decision to have American representation upon the two proposed international committees to study the reparations question represents a forward step toward a definite settlement, according to opinion in official circles today. Foreign office officials said they were pleased with the Washington developments but at the same time they pointed out that the United States was not committed to any definite policy. The following statement was issued at the foreign office: "The United States has made a big step toward a settlement of reparations. Great Britain welcomes the action of Washington. It is expected that inquiry will open as soon as the American delegates arrive." There is much speculation as to the identity of the American delegates. It is believed that Herbert Hoover will be one of them. The Daily Chronicle, personal organ of former premier David Lloyd George, commented: "The whole thing is due to the efforts of Lloyd George. It is a great forward step. It should do much to disentangle European finance if we only had a foreign secretary who knew how to take advantage of such an opportunity." The Daily Express praised the American situation saying: "The United States has come more than half way in her effort to help settle the European problem." The Daily News warned against the non-committal nature of the American decision. Two committees are to be appointed by the inter-Allied reparations committee to investigate the following angles of the imizing German currency. Germany's capacity for payment REVOLT PUT DOWN LISBON, Dec. 12.—Portuguese officials claimed today that the rebel movement against the central government had been effectually put down. An attempt to storm the official residence of the president failed. One person was killed and several wounded. The rebels, in their attack, relied mainly upon bombs. The rebels' signal for the uprising was a shot from a battleship in the harbor. When it was fired, the rebels on shore failed to respond. The government sent a wireless message to the rebellious warship crew warning them that the ship would be bombarded unless they surrendered. ELABORATE PLANS FOR A. C. C. MEET An elaborate program has been arranged for the monthly meeting of the associated chambers of commerce Wednesday evening at Obarr's hall, Huntington Beach. Three ten-minute speakers as follows, have been obtained V. D. Johnson of Orange. The County Unit"; H. D. Hickle of Los Angeles, district superior in California of vocational training for soldiers; and C. G. Blaham, secretary and manage of the All-Year club of So. Cal., "General Advertising." The meeting will open at 6 p.m. Obarr's hall at Ocean avenue and Main street in Beach city. Secretary George A. Raymer, the associated chambers say that reservations may be made postal to J. A. Armitage of Huntington Beach. BREW COSTS $25 Found guilty of having home brew in his possession, C. Ghysels had today paid a fine of $25 in Justice J. B. Cox's court. CLEVELAND GETS G. O. P. MEETING (Continued From Page 1) give the states of the solid south virtually the same sized delegations they had in 1920. The hundred-odd additional delegates will be distributed among the 27 states that cast their electoral vote for Harding in 1920. The general plan is to give each state that Harding carried three additional delegates. The action of the committee was heralded with upronouns aplause from the "gallery" of colored Republicans from the south, who thronged the small ball room of the Willard. The committee also decided to day to recommend to the Cleveland convention that a woman member of the national committee be appointed from each state. The women are now "associate members" with no voting power. The move to reconsider the appointment of delegates was instigated by Charles D. Hilles of New York, and is understood to have had the backing of administration forces generally. It precipitated an immediate row. "I am amazed that action of this character should be taken," said Senator Howell. "For 20 years we have been attempting a reform of apportionment and now that we secured it a year ago, you are proposing to undo that great work. "The progressive-minded Republicans of the country do not know what you are proposing to do; if they did, they would be here in arms. "You remember the fatal division of 1912. The trouble at that time was caused by resentment at the control of southern delegates who represented no Republican states and no Republicans." "I warn you that this is going cause you more trouble. You are about to light the trail that leads to a powder barrel. There The Daily Express praised the American situation says: "The United States has come more than half way in her effort to help settle the European problem." The Daily News warned against the non-committal nature of the American decision. Two committees are to be appointed by the inter-aligned reparations committee to investigate the following angles of the imizing German currency. 1—Germany's capacity for payment. 2—The best means of stabilizing German currency. 3—Advisability of a foreign loan for Germany and German resources for pledging such a loan. 4—German wealth held abroad. 5—Means of increasing German industrial and mining production. LABOR TO REBEL AGAINST TORIES LONDON, Dec. 12. The labor party today decided upon a "constitutional revolt" against the Tory government of Premier Stanley Baldwin. At a meeting of the executive committee, the decision was taken to defeat the Tory government in the house of commons at the first opportunity. The laborites agreed to form a cabinet if they succeeded in defeating the tories in Commons and were invited by King George to constitute a new government. It is generally admitted that COMMITTEE MEETS FRIDAY PARIS, Dec. 12—Washington's decision to participate in a reparations inquiry was discussed today by Colonel J. A Logan, American representative on the inter-allied reparations commission and M. Barthou, the chairman. The reparations committee will meet again Friday. The experts who will represent the allied and associated powers may be named at that time, unless the British political situation prevents England from making her appointments. In such an event, the announcement will be postponed. Just Before Christmas.

Altho a man's life is at stake, the case has developed into a war between the two klan factions here. Cobura was an attorney for the William Joseph Simsour group while Fox is aligned with Hiram W. Evans. Before Judge G. H. Howard called the court to order, attorneys for prosecution and defense promised sensational "developments" within the next few hours. Both hinted additional arrests.

Boykin, chief counsel for the state, intimated that "the invisible empire will be transformed into an open book, allowing the public to see practices which have been carried on within the walls of the imperial palace."
