U.S. REJECTS PROSECUTION OF AUTOCRIME DROPPE Tattersal Punishment Loss of Young Voters States Nelson Based on Observations In His Recent Trip Abroad By KENNETH W. CLARK (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. — American ideals of international good will and understanding dominated by the desire for liberty and justice, can never prevail in the world until "secret diplomacy, intrigue and the bayonet" are wiped from the face of Europe. Senator Robert L. Owen, Democrat of Oklahoma, told the senate today. Owen's speech, the first in the senate this session on American foreign relations, was based on his observations in his recent trip abroad. "Europe is still suffering from the old ideals which formerly dominated their respective foreign policies in which commercial imperialism sought by bayonets and intrigue to expand the power and prestige of each nation," Owen charged. "Only if this condition, bred by secret diplomacy, is wiped out can Europe enter into an era of peace and prosperity," he said. "If American ideals were accepted by the statesmen of Europe—the ideals of international understanding and goodwill of international justice and of helpfulness—the European nations could disarm, balance their budgets, stabilize their currency, go to maximum production, and进入 an era of peace and prosperity." "Under these conditions, America could afford to make loans to Europe sufficient to assist them to meet such objects."

REJECTS RECOGNITION OF RUSSIA WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. — Sharp rejection, expressed in the most brief, most concise way possible, today met Soviet Russia's new bid for American recognition. Secretary of State Hughes instructed the American consul at Rival to inform the soviet authorities at Moscow that the note from M. Tchitcherin, the soviet foreign minister, received at the White House yesterday, does not offer any basis for negotiations, so far as the United States is concerned. Secretary Hughea' rejection of the soviet's offer was terse, almost to the point of being brusque. It declared in effect that, before there can be any conferences between the two governments, the soviets must demonstrate their good faith and good intent by restoring American property confiscated during the revolutions, acknowledge their debts, and cease their propagating among American institutions. He denied specifically that the United States is in any way indebted to Russia, thus disposing of the reciprocal adjustment of debts; suggestion made by the soviet foreign minister in his note to President Coolidge yesterday.

REBELS MEET CRUSHING DEFEAT Federal Troops Have Captured 200 Prisoners NEW LIGHTING Tattersal Punished In Loss of Young Wife, States Nelson There will be no prosecution of James Tattersal, San Francisco business man, driver of the car that crushed his wife to death in a wreck on the Irvine boulevard. This announcement was made today after an investigation of the accident, which took place Saturday evening. Tattersal, meanwhile, was bearing the body of his young wife back to their home and six-week-old baby in San Francisco. "Since it appeared that the accident was the result of speeding, there is probably technical grounds for a masslaughter charge against Tattersal," said Nelson. "Had the victim of the wreck been some stranger or not a close relative to Tattersal the charge would probably have been filed." Nelson added. However, in view of the circumstance of the case we feel that it would be useless to prosecute—a waste of time and money. Not only would there be a feeling that Tattersal had been punished enough by the loss of his wife, but I don't believe any injury, considering the case of the baby, already deprived of its mother, would also take its father away from it. The body of Mrs. Tattersal was shipped to San Francisco last night on The Lark. Mrs. D. T. Ruttenbach and daughter, Florence, who were badly injured in the same wreck, were removed late yesterday from the Community hospital here, to the Good Samaritan hospital in Los Angeles.

HUTCHINSON (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.—Nine ballots this afternoon failed to break the deadlock in the Senate over election of a chairman of the interstate commerce committee. The militant band of insurgents continued to wield their "balance of power" throwing it to the support of Senator James Couzens, Republican of Michigan. With Republican regulars voting for Senator Cummins of Iowa, present chairman, the balloting resulted in a succession of deadlocks. On the day's first ballot, the 15th in the contest, the insurgents won over Senator Hiram W. Johnson, Calif., and Senator Arthur Capper, Kansas. They joined the progressives in voting for Senator James Couzens, Republican of Michigan, as a compromise candidate, and brot the insurgent strength to 14 votes, the highest yet recorded. The result was: Smith 39; Cummins 37; Couzens 14. By A. O. HAYWARD (I. N. S.

Fear that a majority of the house ways and means committee would override the decision over Republican leaders and put the bonus ahead led the committee chairman, Representative Green, Republican of Iowa, so cancel a meeting today and announce that Republican leaders are in favor of considering tax reduction first. A majority of the committee members, however, are opposed to this procedure, and a new fight flared forth. WRECKED STEAMER POUNDED BY SEA With reports of committees, reminiscences of the year's doings, etc., Anaheim Kiwanians today held their final luncheon of the year at the Elks' Clubhouse. There was a rousing good attendance. A sexette of male voices, which later will be a double quartet, sang two delightful selections. A gala touch was added to the luncheon when purple and gold caps were distributed. A soap concern presented each member with a package of shaving cream. President-elect Roscoe B. Young, reporting as chairman of the committee on club activities, said that the wading pool in the City Park, the float in the Armistice Day parade at Orange and the furnishing of a strong box, ready at last, were among the tasks put over during the year. Reporting for the music committee, Joe Clayes said that most of the work done had been individually. The work spoke for itself. M. Eugene Durfee, offering an addition to Clayes' report, reminded Kiwanians that next Friday evening beginning at 8:15 the oratorio, "The Messiah," would be given at the White Temple. Everybody is welcome, he said. A musical program to be rendered by all three clubs (Kiwanis Rotary and Lions) is planned. Following the singing by the sexette, President-Elect Young urged that the double quartet be seat to the annual meeting of Kiwanis International. The cost would be only $500, said Young. No action was taken. Rev. Dr. J. A. Geissinger reported on inter-club relations, which he indicated had been promoted by his committee and those of the other clubs. Regarding programs, H. N.

Bullpit told the police that a thief entered his house last night and secured $200. He lives at 124 Buffalo st., Santa Ana. George Lester, 1121 North Sycamore, is out $100 as the result of a visit of thieves to his residence. Rev. F. T. Porter, pastor of the First Christian church, Santa Ana, reported that a cornet was stolen last night from his study. Here's Your Chance to Give Some Real Christmas Cheer! Four German immigrants — grandmother, her daughter, and the latter's two sons—recently arrived in Anaheim and are in real need of numerous necessities until they can get on their feet. How they got here and happened to come is a long story. Big-hearted Anaheimers will care only to know how they can help. Their plight was discovered by Attorney O. T. Cailor, who found them houseless and suffering from cold on a recent chilly morning. All to whom he mentioned the matter have been glad to assist. Among them is J. W. Kohlenberger, who has taken them in hand and will be glad to take charge of any donations, determining what is needed. His phone is 586-W. Mrs. Maria Busch, the grandmother, is 61; her daughter, Mrs. Frieda Busch, is 31, and the boys are Ernest, 10, and Heinze, 5-1-2. The daughter has been found work in a household at $40 a month, and we have found a humble but comfortable place for the grandmother and children to reside," says Mr. Kohlenberger. "There have also been donations of stove, clothing and food, and with a little further help they will soon be on their feet and valuable members of the community. A big contributor was the Christmas charity committee of Orange county Shriners, who pronounced the case the most deserving of any observed in the county. The grandmother is still without a single garment of underwear or nightgown. Mr. Kohlenberger will be glad to point out other needs. "The poor folks are extremely grateful for all that has been done for them," says Mr. Kohlenberger, who is a firm believer in the admonition of James: "To visit the widows and orphans and comfort them in their tribulations."
