Hubbard, retired historian of Chicago university and the Univ. of Ariz., and Harry Enos, Harry Herman and Frank Smiddt, guides, were ready today to leave for a trip thru unexplored Collossal cave, near here. Many attempts have been made to explore the cave, beautified with stalagmite and stalactite and said to be larger than the famous Mammoth cave in Kentucky, and many persons are reported to have come lost in its vast labyrinth passages, several failing to return from the cavernous depths.

Decision Follows Conference of Supervisors And Harm Bureau Orange County supervisors will probably hold special session to pass a drastic quarantine law to guard against invasion of the hoof and mouth disease. It was announced today. The law is being drafted by Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson, following a conference last night between farm bureau officials and supervisors. The emergency law would prevent the importation of stock from infected areas and forbid movement inside the county. Stock for slaughter must be taken to isolated slaughter pens in special cars with which particular care has been taken to guard against infection. A motifed quarantine will be enforced against mill feed, milk and other products. Milk containers must be sterilized and all such products must bear certificates of disinfection. A clause will give authorities power to forbid all public assemblies if found necessary. It was explained today that no steps would be taken to prevent the holding of the Calif. Valencia Orange Show. Dr. A. H. Wilkins, Anaheim county veterinarian, stated a Mexican dog at Los Allimatos was undernaive until thoroly fumigated. Supervisors Wm. Schumacher, Breyer, Curtis and Leon Whitell are working with Nelson in drafting the ordinance.

Many attempts have been made to explore the cave, beautified with stalagmite and stalactite and said to be larger than the famous Mammoth cave in Kentucky, and many persons are reported to have come lost in its vast labyrinth passages, several failing to return from the cavernous depths. Last July Enos and Herman walked 27 miles in the cave but could not reach its end. The explorers will take with them food, blankets, carbide lights and dynamite, to be used to penetrate obstructions. Professor Hubbard said he hopes of successfully charting the chambers and returning safely in five days' time. ANOTHERMAN KILLED IN VOTE WAR CICERO, Ill., April 2.—One man was shot and killed and another was slugged in a fresh outbreak of violence hero today. Philip Smith taxi driver, off duty and driving his own machine, was slain when, according to police, he accompanied three taxi loads of gunmen who came here to avenge the shooting of another driver. Smith is the second man killed in the election violence. Chicago police late yesterday shot and killed Frank Caponi, member of the notorious Terrio gang. Morris Friendman, 21, said to have been driving one of the three cabs, was slugged in the melee in which Smith was killed. Three men were held after the outbreak: David Sage, Lloyd Sowash and Francis Murray, the latter a taxi driver and the other two inspectors for the taxi company.

Supreme Court Decision Apparently Reverse of Weisel Ruling The ruling of City Atty. H.V. Weisel placing the names of H. Renner and Clyde Williams on the ballot for city council, despite the fact they had formally withdrawn and notwithstanding their objections of certain other candidates who protested it as a political move to split the vote, he accused Anaheimers to the fact an election is coming off, to say the least. Weisel is the only attorney involved in Candidate E.H. Metcalf, A.A. Slaback, DeHarrison and E.E. Knife, who are protecting the move, to say that the names should go on the ballot it was claimed today. Deputy District. Atty. Wenz is the same opinion as Deputy District. Atty. Moole that the names should come off since they withdrew before the time for filing nominations had expired and the ballots had been printed. Metcalf reported after a visit to the courthouse. Slaback and Knife were in conference with Superior Judge Weisel this afternoon on the matter. Atty. Wm. P. Webb, Jr., following up the citation by Atty. O.Callier yesterday of the Judicial Bordwell case, stated that as far as he had been able to ascertain it was the only one where the question was involved in California jurisprudence. Judge Bordwell, after making considerable of a campaign for S. senatorial nomination, withdrew from the race rather than split the vote of his faction. The opposition attempted to retain his name on the ballot but failed every county in the state except Orange-co. Mandamus proceeding were brot against County Clients Williams and the supreme court ruled that name should come off the ballot. A synopsis of the supreme court decision, taken from "California Reports," says: "The right to seek election to any office is open to all persons possessing the constitutional or statutory qualifications." A citizen is, however, under no obligation to seek election to an office. He may be a candidate or refuse to be such, at his option, and in the absence of statutory provision to the contrary; she mere fact that he has one announced his candidacy for an office does not prevent him from withdrawing as a candidate when ever he sees fit to do so." TURN SEWAGE IN OUTFALL FRIDAY Anaheim sewage will be turned into the new joint outfall sewer at 6 a.m. Friday and Santa Ana's will go in at 11 a.m. The sewage is expected to reach the treatment plant at 2 p.m. that day when city councilmen will be on hands to see the inauguration of the treatment plant.

POSTPONE HEARING When his hearing on a charge of emberzling funds in connection with the promotion of the California Industrial Finance Co. is resumed May 12, F. W. Keller is expected to present his evidence to refit the claims of the state, an outline of which was given when his preliminary hearing was opened before Justice of the Peace John B. Cox.

Moxley had in the courtroom with him a number of persons who said they had taken out stock in the company and also had in his possession what he described as documentary evidence tending to show that Keller had embezzled several thousand dollars of the firm's money. ALASKA AWAITS FLIERS KETCHIKAN, Alaska, April 2. Alaska was ready today to welcome the four rotating-world flyers expected late this week. The American Legion departmental council will meet in Sitka Thursday and Scott Boone will lead the party that will greet the aviators on their arrival from Prince Rupert. Morris Friendman, 21, said to have been driving one of the three cabs, was slugged in the melee in which Smith was killed. Three men were held after the outbreak: David Sage, Lloyd Sowash and Francis Murray, the latter a taxi driver and the other two inspectors for the taxi company. All three arrived after the shooting, police said, but were believed to be able to throw some light on it. County Judge Jarreki has ordered a sweeping investigation into circumstances resulting in the two killings. County and federal grand juries will be asked to look into the shootings, sluggings and intimidations of citizens in connection with the village elections here yesterday, outbreaks said to day's shooting took place, told people in the village political organization. Eddie Tanel, owner of the Hawthorne Inn, in front of which today's shooting took place, told police that the killing followed an argument between a cab driver and his fare. Friedman, however, said Smith and the taxi fleet were ambushed in front of the inn. A corrected vertebral subluxation is worth more than a trip for relaxation. See Dr. Neth (moved to), 110 N. Resh-st. Round-Globe Fliers, Already Day Behind, Face More Delay SEATTLE, April 2.—Another delay in the hop-off of the U.S. army round-the-world flyers appeared likely today following the prediction of rain and adverse weather conditions.

I same token, if oil men butted to one party they also tributed to the other in that of gaining naval reserve from the party that came nower, if such was their pose." Senator Stanfield said agreed with neither Spencer Walsh, considering the argument of both "far fetched." But, I do think," he said "that insumuch as the son from Montana has seen fit into republican contribution was only fair that it be ested that donations to both parties were common."

DOHENY GAVE TO BOTH PARTIES BY KENNETH W. CLARK (L.N.S: Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, April 2. — Edard L. Doheny, multi-millionaire magnate and owner of naval leases in California, contributed $34,900 to the Democratic presidential campaign in 20 and 1921," George White, former chairman of the Democratic national committee, today and the senate oil investigating committee. Doheny had previously testified that he gave $75,000 to the Democrats and $25,000 to the Republicans for the campaign. Mr. Doheny will have to recite the difference, White said, then discrepancy was called WAR SECRETS BARED TO JAPAN WASHINGTON, April 2. — Another cabinet officer was dragged into the spotlight of the Daugherty investigation when Captain H. L. Scalfe, former agent of the department of justice, charged before the Wheeler-Brookhart committee that Secretary of War John Weeks and former Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty should be indicted for conspiracy to obstruct justice because of the failure of the government to prosecute a war fraud case against the Wright-Martin Airplane Co. Scaife declared H. S. Hayden president of the Wright-Martin Co., and Guy D. Goff, were "equally guilty" and should be indicted. He charged that these four were in a "conspiracy to give COLLAGEMATE OF COOLIDGE AND DEAN OF COLUMBIA UNIV. LAW SCHOOL WASHINGTON, April 2. — Harlan Fiske Stone of New York, dean of Columbia university law school, and one of the most widely known legal authorities in the east, was named attorney general by President Coolidge today to succeed Harry M. Daugherty, who resigned last Friday. Dean Stone came to Washington today and was the president's guest at a White House breakfast. After a conference with the president he was offered the post and accepted it. The nomination was sent to the senate this afternoon. Stone will immediately resign from his various legal connections in New York and take over the department of justice as soon as he is confirmed by the senate. He has already resigned his deanship of the law school, altho he was to have continued serving until next June. He has been a member of the law firm of Satterlee, Canfield & Stone for some years, with an office at 49 Wall street, New York. Dean Store was a college mate of President Coolidge. He graduated from Amherst College in 1894, the president a year later. Like the president, he is a New Englander, having been born in New Hampshire in 1722, the same year that the president was born in the neighboring state of Vermont. Following his graduation, Stone went to New York, where he was admitted to the bar in 1898 and almost immediately he became a lecturer and later a professor in Columbia law school, at the same time entering a partnership with the firm of which he is still a member. In 1910 he became dean As a member of the firm of Satterlee, Canfield and Stone, the new attorney general has been legal representative of many great corporations and this fact was one of the arguments used against his appointment while the president was considering 'Daugherty's successor. Friends of Judge William S. Kenyon of Iowa, who formerly was chairman of the senate farm bloom brought unceasing pressure to bear upon the president to have him appoint the Iowa jurist and several times they were confident that Kenyon would get the call. Even as late as this morning, when Dean Stone arrived in Washington... Doheny had previously testified that he gave $75,000 to the Democrats and $25,000 to the Republicans for the campaign. Mr. Doheny will have to recite the difference, White said, when the discrepancy was called his attention. "It must be remembered," White commented, "that Mr. Doheny's memory was faulty relative to his dealings with Mr. McCoo." Doheny is now under subpoena to testify concerning his campaign contributions. The examination of White was induced by Senator Spencer, publican of Missouri, who asked him for the records and books the 1920 Democratic campaign. White said the records were in possession of Wilbur Marsh, mer treasurer of the democrat national committee who is also her subpoena. "Do you remember the amounts the contributions of either E. Doheny or Harry F. Sinclair?" Doheny asked. Before White could answer, Senator Walsh interrupted, saying would not object to the writs answering, but that he concurred the matter altogether irrevocable. But," said Spencer, "in 1920 democrats were vociferously calling success in securing consent of the government. By the token, if oil men contributed to one party they also contributed to the other in the hope gaining naval reserve leases on the party that came into effect, if such was their purpose." Senator Stanfield said he used with neither Spencer nor Hash, considering the arguments both "far fetched." But, I do think," he added, that inasmuch as the senator in Montana has seen fit to go republican contributions it only fair that it be establish that donations to both parties be common. (Continued on Page Six) Scalfe declared H. S. Hayden, president of the Wright-Martin Co., and Guy D. Goff, were "equally guilty" and should be indicted. He charged that these four were in a "conspiracy to give out false statements about the Wright-Martin Co. in direct violation of federal statutes." Scalfe also renewed his charges of fraud in the sale of the Bosch Magneto Co. to Martin E. Kern, an alleged German alien. "Under the law Kern was prohibited from owning property in this country because he was a German alien," said Scalfe. "Yet, A. Mitchell Palmer, while acting public costodian, sold the Bosch Magneto Co. to Kern. Palmer, it was learned, was former attorney for Kern." "So Mr. Palmer sold Kern the Bosch Magneto Co. as a former attorney to a client in violation of the law and the present department of justice has taken no steps to prosecute the case," Wheeler asked. "That was the way it happened." (The case was prosecuted more than a year ago in New York.) Scalfe caused a mild sensation by charging the dirigible Roma, which was destroyed by fire in 1922 at Hampton Roads, Va., with a loss of 30 lives, was "unsafe." The Roma disaster was an indication of the general negligence throutout the air service up to that time, he declared. "I tried to get William J. Burns to start an investigation of the disaster," said Scalfe. "Burns said the department could not investigate affairs in another department unless it was requested to." Scalfe produced a sheaf of documents to support his claim. He charged the Wright-Martin case had been laid before United States District Attorney William Hayward in New York and later withdrawn at the directoin of Goff. He read a series of letters showing how the case came to be withdrawn. (Continued on Page Six) Friends of Judge William S. Kenyon of Iowa, who formerly was chairman of the senate farm bloc, brought increasing pressure to bear upon the president to have him appoint the Iowa jurist and several times they were confident that Kenyon would get the call. Even as late as this morning, when Dean Stone arrived in Washington, Kenyon's friends were making renewed representations to President Coolidge in his behalf. The arrival of Dean Stone in Washington and his appointment was carefully guarded by the White House. Few knew of his presence here until he was introduced to a number of republican senators at the White House proper. The senators had been summoned to the White House for a discussion of the legislative program and Dean Stone was an interested listener at the discussion between the president and the senate leaders. He took no part in it, according to those present and the president did not announce his appointment. Altho Dean Stone is a native New Englander, he is geographically credited to New York, where he has spent all of his active life and this gives New York two places in the cabinet, the other being secretary of state Hughes. No geographical or political considerations entered into the appointment of Dean Stone, it was said at the White House, the president being determined to get the "best available man", irrespective of the usual considerations that enter into cabinet appointments. His home is in England, N.J. ALTON IS HELD A. A. A. Alton, director of the Julian Petroleum Corp., was held responsible for the death of Mra. Mildred Warre, 20, of Coronado, in an auto crash at El Toro Saturday night, by a coroner's jury at Santa Ana late yesterday. BaP was fixed at $10,000, which he furnished. TRY A CLASSIFIED AD
