ALVAREZ IS KILLED AT DOORSTEP Officers Seek Juan Vialopez and Brother Lorenzo, Who Fled Without waiting to identify Says Germany Must Meet Allied Demand DUSSELDORF, April 28. Chancellor Marx of Germany, speaking almost within the shadow of the headquarters of the French army of occupation, declared today that Germany must meet the demands of the allies. "Germany can regain her freedom only thru a policy of fulfillment," he said. "The Munich farce was disastrous for Germany. The nearer one gets to occupied territory the more reasonable the people are found to be. A few French battalions might cool the Bavarian temper. WANT GUARD FOR CATTLE QUARANTINI Requests Made for Mili to Prevent Spread of Epidemic SACRAMENTO, April 28— Officers Seek Juan Vialopez and Brother Lorenzo, Who Fled Without waiting to identify him as the man he wanted, Juan Vialopez, accompanied by his brother, Lorenzo, last night shot Tomaz Alvarez dead at his own door in Los Alamitos and then fled. The slayer had quarreled earlier in the evening with Pablo Marquez and had followed Marquez to the house of Alvarez. During the quarrel Marquez fired at Lorenzo, but missed him. Marquez left the house by a rear door and escaped. The body of Alvarez now lies at the undertaking parlor of Backs, Terry & Campbell, where the inquiry will take place under the direction of Coroner Charles D. Brown. Alvarez is 35 years old and leaves a widow and two children. The Draper ranch on which the Alvarez family lived is about a mile and one-half southwest of Los Alamitos. There had been drinking earlier in the evening, and it is suspected that Marquez and the two Vialopes brothers, or at least Juan, had been in a gambling game in which Juan was worsted. Alvarez had not been mixed up in the affair. The Vialopes brothers were "pool room boards," according to Under Sheriff French, who with Deputy Sheriff H. W. McKaig responded to the call. Juan Vialopez used a pistol of good sized caliber. He shot his victim thru the heart, killing him immediately. The bullet entered at the right side of the body near the arm pit, and did not emerge again. The injuries were entirely internal. Dr. J. W. Truxaw will perform the autopsy this afternoon, and the inquiry has been set for 2:30 p.m. tomorrow. Alvarez is a man of medium height and rather thickset for a Mexican. His face is pockmarked from smallpox or chickepox, so that he looks possibly older than he is. Marquez, his Ford car and both the brothers have vanished. Mexican neighbors told Under Sheriff French this afternoon that the claver and Marquez went together in Marquez car, but this is doubled by French. There was Germany can regain her freedom only thru a policy of fulfillment," he said. "The Munich farce was disastrous for Germany.

DIFFICULT TO TAKE STING FROM ACT WASHINGTON, April 28.—Flat notice was served on President Coolidge this afternoon that any effort on the part of the administration to remove the Japanese exclusion provision of the new immigration bill will be "most bitterly" fought. Anticipating a move by the president and Secretary of State Hughes to have the exclusion amendment again voted on in the senate and house, Senator Shortridge, Republican of California, its author, wrote a letter to the president, declaring such a vote to be "impossible" and advising against its being tried. Senator Shortridge's letter in part follows: "The two houses having agreed as to provisions in the bill which excluded from our country 'allens ineligible to citizenship' with certain specified exceptions, these provisions are now in conference." "The exclusion clause of the bill under immediate consideration applies to over 860,000,000 of the human family, all of whom are denied United States citizenship. Such has been our national policy for over 134 years or since the act of 1790." "We are advocating an immigration policy which shall be in harmony with our naturalization policy; and inasmuch as immigration is a domestic question, our national policy should be declared in a constitutional way, namely by statute regularly enacted. Lot us get back to the constitution." "You, Mr. President can make known to Japan and to all the world that we are legislating, not in hostility to any nation, but with Germany can regain her freedom only thru a policy of fulfillment," he said. "The Munich farce was disastrous for Germany. The nearer one gets to occupied territory the more reasonable the people are found to be. A few French battalions might cool the Bavarian temper."

Let us get back to the constitution. "You, Mr. President can make known to Japan and to all the world that we are legislating, not in hostility to any nation, but with proper and first regard for the economic, racial and political welfare of our own. And no just or peaceful nations can find cause for offense with us for safeguarding the present and the future of America. "In urging your approval of the action of the senate and the house as it relates to the exclusion of aliens ineligible to citizenship. I am moved by no other motive than to serve our common country. "A great opportunity to serve the country is at hand. Not in anger, not in fear, but with malice toward none, with charity for all," approve an act which, assuring the unity of our people and safeguarding our civilization, will remove all cause for future misunderstanding and further the peace of nations."

B. Cox in Santa Ana today against O. C. Hardeebek and Glenn B. Churchill, former trustees of the Keen Hat Stores. This plaintiff is the Pugh-Miller Drilling Co. thru W. N. Miller of Anaheim, who alleges that he purchased $3500 worth of units. A similar charge preferred by Bert Kuebler now is on its way thru Superior court. The permit issued to D. C. Hardebock and Joseph B. Hardebock of the Keen Hat Stores by the State Commissioner of Corporations was responsible for the fleeing of scores of local and other investors out of some $100,000. This became evident today, when a copy of the permit came into the hands of the Plain Dealer. This fine specimen of the commissioner's office really did allow Hardebock and Glenn B. Churchill, who succeeded Joseph B. Hardebock, the father, as trustee, to purchase only a share of stock or one unit each at a total of $100,60, and then sell $100,000 worth of stock. Anaheim investors would like to know how many similar permits, all in nice official and legal form, are issued to enable thousands of investors to be defrauded out of their hard-saved money. Here are the two sections of the permit in question that open the barn door to doing a $100,000 business with $100.00 capital by (Continued on Page 3) "CAPTIVE" W. H.

Here, he asserted, he was engaged by his mother-in-law and her two sons, who handled him roughly. The key to his auto was taken away, it was stated, but later returned to him with the order to "go." His bride, however, it was complained, was compelled to stay at the La Habra house, though she wishes to return to him; it was claimed. The occurrence was but another barrier in an already rough marital path, it was recalled. When the two were married last fall at Riverside, Mrs. Neeley charged Seale with perjury, alleging her daughter was not then 18 years old. The charge was dismissed in Riverside. Then came the divorce suit, in which Seale was charged with cruelty and faltering love for her. But the two "made up," it was said. However, when the word was given first hand to her family, it was claimed, the fracus ensued. Seale was represented today by Attorney A. E. Koepsel.
