This complete fighting unit will be composed of headquarters company, three rifle companies and machine gun company. There is already a rifle company, Anaheim and Fullerton will have rifle companies. Colonel Storey had planned to place the machine gun company at Orange and the headquarters at Santa Ana. However, Huntington Beach veterans were so insistent last night that they should have the machine gun company that the county seat was left with the one company. Each company will receive about $50,000 worth of finest equipment. Rifle range near Orange-co. park will be used. Supervisors and forest rangers plan a more extensive range beyond the park in Silverado canyon. The question of armory, very vital because of need of secure storage for ordinance, was solved this way: Commander M. W. Martenet, Jr., of Anaheim post, stated he believed the baseball grandstand at city park, with addition of some lockers, would be available. There are already electric lights over ball field which would make total parade ground. Santa Ana already has armory which is now being enlarged by expenditure of $9000 by legion. At Orange, a business block with second floor planned for dance hall and armory will be constructed at once. Huntington Beach will erect legion home and armory to cost $20,000 at once. Fullerton will use high school gymnasium. Each company will have $150 per month maintenance fund, part of which can go for rent of armory. Guardsmen will receive same pay for the time they put in as in the regular army. Two weeks encampment each summer will afford ideal vacation. Sunday maneuvers will also be delightful pastime.

Upham of Orange, commandant of the legion council, to interview county supervisors on the policy of the county hospital. Major E. J. Marks, Fullerton; Dr. J. Parrage, Orange, and Dr. H. C. Wilhelm, Anaheim, were appointed to get some action out of the veterans' bureau with especial reference to compensation for dependants of disabled. Immediate reason for the attack on the county hospital was the case of a Santa Ana veteran taken nearly dead. He had been sending $12 each week from his $20 wages in a laundry to his parents in Idaho. At the hospital after a few days, his friends were told he must be taken elsewhere as he had been in the county only nine months instead of the year which has been the basis for accepting patients. "Would they permit use of the county ambulance in removing him to the Anaheim hospital?" demanded one of the Legion councilmen. "They did not!

Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, April 19.—On the heels of the most drastic restriction of immigration ever attempted in this country, the house judiciary committee prepared to report favorably today a bill that will provide for the deportation of aliens convicted of violating the narcotic and prohibition laws. The deportation would not take place until after such aliens served prison terms for their convictions. Immediately upon their release from prison the aliens would be taken into custody by immigration officials and sent back to the country from which they came to the United States. The committee in drafting the law has endeavored to make sure that the alien to be deported shall be denied the protection of other laws which are now invoked to delay or defeat deportation orders by the secretary of labor. BANKS CONTRIBUTE TO EPIDEMIC FUND At initiative of Calif. Bankers' Ass'n, all its members, including the five banks in Anaheim, are expected to contribute a sum equal to one-fifth of one per cent of the combined capital and surplus toward a fund to fight the foot and mouth epidemic. Not all the banks here have had a chance yet to act, but officers of all have indicated that they will contribute. The First National and American Savings Banks have contributed $700 already. Half the amount subscribed is to be forwarded at once. The banks would be reimbursed if at all, by the state or federal governments, or both, out of special appropriations. LA HABRA OILMAN CRUSHED BY PIPE Albert Drake, 21, son of J. J. Drake of LaHabra, was instantly killed yesterday while unloading pipe from a truck at Santa Fe Springs for the Wilshire Oil Co. by which he was employed. A pipe rolled over him and he was badly crushed. Drake had lived in LaHabra 15 months. At inquiry today in Whittier, a verdict of accidental death was returned. He would have been 21 today. The body will be sent east for internment at Payetteville, Ark. The body of a sister who died The deportation would not take place until after such aliens served prison terms for their convictions. Immediately upon their release from prison the aliens would be taken into custody by immigration officials and sent back to the country from which they came to the United States. The committee in drafting the law has endeavored to make sure that the alien to be deported shall be denied the protection of other laws which are now invoked to delay or defeat deportation orders by the secretary of labor. The new bill to get rid of undesirable aliens is supplemental to the restrictive and selective legislation which passed the senate last night. The bill has already passed the house. Its purpose is to limit the number of alien immigrants coming to this country and to select those who may come. Another move to insure the better class of new arrivals in the United States was taken by the house when it increased by $100,000 the appropriation for next fiscal year for the patrol of the Mexican and Canadian borders. Immigration commissioner Husband reported to the house immigration committee that fully five times the number of lawfully admissible aliens were entering surbititiously across the two borders. These included Japanese, Chinese, Mexicans and Europeans. The "border running" was said to be an organized business for which the runners received big returns. The border patrols are so few in number and too wide separated to prevent the run-in. Four agents were assassinated during the past year, it was stated. Secretary of State Hughes spent an hour and a half with President Coolidge early this morning going over the international aspect of the new immigration bill, particularly with reference to the Japanese situation. The secretary went to the White House proper and talked with Mr. Coolidge before the latter went to its office. HUNTER WOUNDED EUGENE, Ore., April 19.—Richard Miller of Oakridge, in the mountains south of here, was brought to a local hospital last night after having been shot in his arm on a hunting trip.

Drake of La Habra, was instantly killed yesterday while unloading pipe from a truck at Santa Fe Springs for the Wilshire Oil Co. by which he was employed. A pipe rolled over him and he was badly crushed. Drake had lived in La Habra 15 months. At inquiry today in Whittier, a verdict of accidental death was returned. He would have been 21 today. The body will be sent east for internment at Payetteville, Ark. The lady of a sister who died a year ago will be taken from vault and sent to Payetteville at the same time.

Peter Alvarez, uncle., was buried to the arm pits. WAREHOUSE BURNS SAN JOSE, April 19.—Fire early today completely destroyed warehouse No. 52 of the California Packing Corp., with limated at $75,000. however, that Governor Hunt of Arizona, informed the president that his state would be "courting disaster" if it modified its embargo against California products and venicular traffic. President Coolidge, in his telegram to the governors of Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, Colorado, New Mexico, California and Hawaii stated frankly that he believed the quarantine measures being imposed by states touching California "are altogether more severe than necessary." He said that the quarantine, if continued, will result in the loss of many millions of dollars to California fruit and vegetable growers and he admonished the western states that the federal government, thru the department of agriculture, was well qualified to cope with the situation. APPEAL TO PRESIDENT SACRAMENTO, April 19.—The federal government must take complete charge of all quarantines against California necessitated by the foot and mouth disease, if a catastrophe which threatens the agricultural and commercial interests of the state is to be averted, leaders agreed today. The fate of the state hinges on whether action by President Coolidge in response to Governor Richardson's request that national supervision of quarantines be established, they said. Appeals to adjoining states to modify their regulations against crop movements thus far have proved utterly flipple and little hope is held of securing favorable action in this manner. Governor Richardson's appeal to President Coolidge follows: "Agricultural and commercial interests complain much damage is being done the state by quarantines imposed by adjacent states which are preventing movement thru usual lines of transportation of commodities which government experts allege have never been known to be carriers of disease. These quarantines do not conform to the standards agreed upon at the recent Salt Lake conference but are arbitrary and unreasonable and if continued will inflict great and irreparable damage on producers of California products."
