BIG GERMAN FINANCIER IS DEAD Hugo Stinnes, "Industrious Kaiser," Died Her This Afternoon BERLIN, April 10.— TOTTERING Metcalf, Slaback, Hasson and Knipe Should Have Great Majority With the municipal election only five days away, Council Candidates E. H. Mertalf, Emary Knipe, A. A. Slaback and Dean Hasson are out admittedly "to get the Stark administration with a platform calling 'For a Proactive Anaconda and Clean, Efficient Government,' is gaining momentum daily. It was being freely predicted today that the four would go into office by the largest majority ever given four candidates for Anabeim council. Voters all over the city who are disgruntled with sky-rocketing of taxes, which they attribute to extravagance in administration of the city's finances, are rallying to these four candidates. A big vote will be polled for the four in the many new subdivisions where scores of lot-owners and home-builders have been delayed for months in obtaining water and sewer services while the Stark administration was spending $200,000 for an uncompleted city park. Mayor Win. Stark's bob-tailed ticket, it is popular opinion, has slipped tremendously in the last few days. City Clerk Ed Merritt was mailing out sample ballots today to the nearly 5500 registered electors. Predilections were made today that there would be fully 75 per cent vote cast Monday which would mean around 2800 ballots, far ahead of any previous election. This will be due not only to the growth of Anabeim but the opposition to the Stark administration. The names of candidates will appear on the bullet alphabetically. Four-year term—Knipe, Metcalf, Pape and Stark; two-year term—Cook, Gates, Hasson, Sennancher and Slaback. For treasurer—Adkins, Boege, Boyd, Oelke and Tuma. Voters will also decide whether councillmen shall receive $50 per month salary. There will be six consolidated precincts: Pet. A (1 and 2) poll at high school, 666 electors; Pet.

CONFER WITH RICHARDSON ON SCOURGE SAN FRANCISCO, April 10. A delegation representing the San Francisco C. of C. went to Sacramento today for a conference with Governor Richardson on the hoof and mouth situation. The committee, headed by several influential representatives of business and banking interests, were prepared to urge upon Governor Richardson the calling of a special session of the legislature to deal with the scourge. Other measures for united action against the disease were to be discussed. It was reported that Los Angeles and other principal points were sending committees to see the governor. NEW OUTBREAKS OF HOOF AND MOUTH LOS ANGELES, April 10. New outbreaks of the hoof and mouth disease among livestock in Los Angeles county were reported today at El Segundo and Lamanda Park through Jay Dutter, director of publicity of the state department of agriculture. Dutter, in a statement made public this morning, appealed to the patriotism of the people of Southern California to aid in the fight against the malady that has already caused a direct loss of more than $1,000,000. That sum will be paid in indemnities by the state and federal government to the owners of stock fields, who early today sent two officers to bring in Mrs. Donna E. Bell of Hollywood Bldg. Mrs. Bell, it was claimed, had ignored two summons to appear on two traffic violations, the first of which was issued in February.

M. Jay, 607 So. Palm-st, where Farwell was attending a party. Farwell's denial that the shot was self-inflicted added a deeper hue to the mystery which the police are trying to probe. Farwell seems to know nothing of his assailant, holding that the shot came from the dark. The automatic found in the J barn was wrapped about with bandkerchief, and an empty shirt on the ground not far from where Farwell is thot to have been standing. The police investigation is surrounded with secrecy. Chief W. Moody was called out of town day but was on a "lead" connected with the Farwell case.

WAY DOWN California Senator Will Remain in Race Despite Lead of President WASHINGTON, April 10.—Coolidge stock, already the best buy, jumped to par today with report that Senator Hiram Johnson had virtually decided to abandon active participation in the state primaries. Johnson's friends are telling him that his defeat in Illinois and Nebraska has sounded the death knell of his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination and are urging him to lay low for the next two months, taking what delegates he can get without a fight, and leaving his fate to be determined definitely at Cleveland. Considerable mystery surrounds the calling of a conference here of Johnson's eastern campaign managers to discuss the situation. The Coolidge managers are not counting on Johnson's withdrawal to win the Cleveland nomination for the presidency. They regard the pre-convention campaign as practically completed, estimating today that only 32 additional votes will be needed in the convention to nominate Mr. Coolidge. To date they have 523 delegates listed as pledged to support the president before the convention opens two months hence, they expect to control a total of 781 votes which is 226 more than the number necessary to nominate. Between now and June 10, presidential primaries will be held in 10 states—New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio, Maryland, California, Indiana, Oregon, Montana and West Virginia.

The plan has been received with "friendly irresolution," to judge from press comment, altho the bulk of this comment favors it as the one real road to a satisfactory settlement. Some of the French newspapers were sharply critical of two features of the report: 1—Necessity of France to hold her Ruhr policy and absence of guarantees which the French hold to be essential. 2—Presence of neutrals upon the control board which will supervise German finances. Opinion was divided in the German press, altho it was officially intimated at Berlin that the report was satisfactory as a basis of further discussion. The British press was frankly favorable to the report, indicating Premier Ramsay MacDonald will have the backing of all political factions if it passes.

The British press was frankly favorable to the report, indicating Premier Ramsay Mandell will have the backing of all political factions if he accepts it. American newspapers praised the report as constructive and as an instrument for final settlement of the long drawn reparations dispute. American bankers called the report "sound" but said that further study was necessary before there could be a final verdict. HIRED TODD, PARTNER OF DAUGHERTY WASHINGTON, April 10.—A new sensation broke in the Laugherty investigation today when Geo. L. Miller, Oklahoma millionaire, admitted on the stand he had employed J. E. Todd, law partner of Harry M. Daugherty, to obtain his influence upon the former attorney general, Daugherty, in an Oklahoma land fraud case. Miller said he paid $2000 for Todd's services. The witness admitted he pleaded guilty to defrauding Oklahoma Indians "after it was arranged that I should not get a jail sentence." He claimed the fraud was "only a technical violation of the law." "Who arranged that?" "My attorneys and Mr. Jeck, I believe." How much did you pay Todd? "Nothing; I paid John G. McCasky of Pittsburgh, $2000. He settled with Todd." You hired Todd to get his influence? "I wanted influence to get my case before the proper authorities." "I wanted influence to get my case before the proper authorities." You got that influence, didn't you? I don't think so. OPINION ON DAWES PLAN DIFFERS PARIS, April 10.—While there was some sharp criticism of the Dawes report today, many influential newspapers praised it as constructive and as showing that Germany is able to pay her war debt. Most of the criticism was based upon the implication that France should relinquish her present Ruhr policy and that neutrals are given an important voice in directing Germany's financial affairs. Owen Young, a member of the Dawes committee, was quoted by Gaulers as saying he believed the United States would assist in the restoration of Germany and the balance of Europe if the allies cooperated. If the allies receive the experts report in the same spirit in which it was conceived, if the powers associated together in war time manifest the unanimity shown by the experts, I believe America will not remain deaf to Europe's appeal but will gladly co-operate for economic and financial restoration," said Young. Government experts already have begun an intensive study of the report. It was pointed out at the foreign office that the most difficult point confronting France is the need for a new government. Said He Was 90 But Had Renewed Himself at Fountain of Youth "Doctor" Alhex Tondare, 35, who told Orange people that he was really 90, but had renewed himself with a fountain of youth all his own, was released from county jail last night under $1000 bail, to appear before Justice G. W. Ingle in Orange, April 24. According to the best information obtainable, Tondare wasn't responsible for the deaths of Myrtle Thompson, aged about 22, and Evelyn Rohrs, high school girl, who are said to have had incurable diseases of the heart. Miss Thompson died last October and Miss Rohrs last August. Tondare has had a curious career. According to reports, he was arrested in Hollywood in 1918 on charges preferred by a husband, who alleged that Tondare had administered "love potions" to his young wife. At that time "Dr." Tondare professed to be able to manufacture a human body, but later admitted he couldn't. His relations with various people in Pasadena now are being probed, also. He is said to have attended as physician a fashionable woman there. Approximately $19,000 in property is in litigation, which he obtained part or complete possession. At the Orange-co., jail where it had been supposed he was almost penniless, several thousand dollars worth of Liberty bonds fell from his clothes, when his fellow prisoners were undressing him, preparatory to giving him a forecible bath. He was found to have $8500 which his captors had overlooked. The charge against Tondare at present is that of practicing medicine without a state license. Alfred E. Carter of the state board of medical examiners preferred the charge, which is a high misdemeanor. The "doctor" spent a short but busy time in Orange, administering to patients. WM. GERALD MAY DIE OF INJURIES Wm. Gerald, of Anaheim, may die of injuries received late last night when his machine was demolished in collision with a truck. "How much did you pay Todd?" "Nothing; I paid John G. McCasky of Pittsburgh, $2000. He settled with Todd." "I wanted influence to get my case before the proper authorities." "I wanted influence to get my case before the proper authorities." "I got that influence, didn't you?" "I don't think so. I don't think our reports ever got to the attorney general." Miller waived all criminal and civil immunity before taking the witness stand. He first began to read a prepared defense against charges made by Herbert M. Peck, former U. S. district attorney in Oklahoma. In the prepared statement Miller said that Atty. Gen. A. Mitchell Palmer had recommended dismissal of the case against him. "Two other Oklahomaans indicted at the same time I was were acquitted," he said. "I am sure that had I fought this case I would also have been acquitted." WESTERN UNION BALKS WASHINGTON, April 10.—The Western Union Telegraph Co. this afternoon notified the Wheeler-crookhart committee that it would furnish no more private telegrams or the senate investigation. Senator Brookhart, chairman, indicated that legal proceedings could be resorted to to obtain telegrams if they were wanted.

Heads Pushed Indictment of Wheeler WASHINGTON, April 10.—Partial substitution of the charge Senator Burton K. Wheeler, mk of Mont., that the Republican national committee had a hand in an indictment at Great Falls, was trailed today by the Wheeler-crookhart committee. From Arthur Lambdin, a telephone company official, and William J. Burns, chief of the bureau of investigation of the department of justice, the committee learned that George D. Lockwood, secretary of the Republican national committee, had been in communication with a special investigator at Great Falls, working on the Wheeler case. If the allies receive the experts report in the same spirit in which they conceived, if the powers associated together in war time manifest the unanimity shown by the experts, I believe America will not remain deaf to Europe's appeal but will gladly co-operate for economic and financial restoration," said Young. Government experts already have begun an intensive study of the report. It was pointed out at the foreign office that the most difficult point confronting France is the experts' recommendation for transition of Ruhr policy to a policy of general guarantees. ADMINISTRATION IS FOR DAWES PLAN WASHINGTON, April 10.—Commenting this afternoon on the Dawes reparations report, administration officials described it as the first real constructive effort made in Europe since the armistice to solve the problem of German reparations and European reconstruction.

Hatch turned over a bond to the Wickersheim Implement Co. of Euilierton as $350 on a car he purchased, the bond later proving virtually worthless, according to a criminal complaint on file in justice court, at Santa Ana today.

LAW ENFORCEMENT POPULAR MOVEMENT WASHINGTON, April 10.—Enforcement and observance of the law is a popular movement because it is for the purpose of protecting the weak from the strong. President Coolidge this afternoon told 1090 delegates to the women's national committee for law enforcement when he received them at the White House. JURY GETS CASE OF GOV. McCRAY INDIANAPOLIS, April 10.—A jury of 12 men today took into its hands the case against Governor McCray, charged with embezzlement and larceny of Indiana board of agriculture funds. TAX LAW INVALID SALEM, Ore., April 10.—The state income tax law is unconstitutional insofar as it affects corporations, according to a decision of the circuit court. The decision which will be appealed to the state supreme court, pointed out that a non-resident corporation doing business in Oregon may deduct dividends paid to residents but not to non-residents. This provision was held to be a discrimination against that corporation having non-resident stockholders and in violation of the federal constitution. Read the late fiction at Sc per day.
