Another Meeting Will Be Held With C. of C. Friday Evening Apparently believing that they about to open up a real oil field at Cypress, representatives of the Gaddie Oil Co. last night appeared before the Cypress Farm Center and urged that landowners form a pool to prevent town-lot drilling which ruined Santa Fe Springs and Signal Hill. Atty. Robt. R. Farrar, representing Chas. T. B. Jones, who has directed the financing of the Gaddie test well, declared: "In developing the field it is necessary to obtain the co-operation of the people as much as possible, not only to conserve the field but to develop it properly. In obtaining our leases we have agreed to drill a well to every five acres. This prevents over-drilling. We are endeavoring to get as many landowners as possible to combine in a pool which can be readily handled if we get an oil field. We wish to avoid repeating what has been done at Signal Hill, Santa Fe Springs and Huntington Beach. It is better for the property owners to have the drilling spread out over a period of years. Walter E. Seeley, who is also assisting in financing the Gaddie well expressed the hope that our would be able to formulate charge plot which could be easily handled with one of the bigger oil companies, as soon as they develop the well now drilling at Cypress. Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson was scheduled to speak on "Auto Laws" but declared Cypress seemed so law-abiding that he would talk instead on "Co-operation." He said: "If it were not for co-operation we would be back at the time of the cave man. All progress is due to co-operation of people. Co-operation is what is making California a success industrially. There is not a more favored spot than Orange-co., located as we are on the shore of the Pacific with a background of foothills and mountains, studded with beautiful citrus groves and on the edge of oilfields pouring out their black gold. We have about reached the saturation point agriculturally and are on the verge of a great move forward industrially." Mrs. Anna Wolcott Valle. Mrs. Anna Wolcott Valle, of Denver, Col., is an associate member of the National Republican Committee and a member of the committee on arrangements for the Republican national convention to be held in Cleveland. CHARGE DOOR MAKERS IN COMBINE PORTLAND, Ore., May 6. Charges that seven door manufacturing companies of Oregon and Washington, producing 90 per cent of the doors manufactured in the United States, have fixed the price of their products in violation of the anti-trust laws, are contained in a complaint filed in the U.S. district court here late yesterday by John S. Coke, U.S. district attorney for Oregon. The defendants are the Nicolas Manufacturing Co. of Portland; the Wheeler-Osgood Co.; Tacoma; Henry McCleary Timber Co.; McCleary, Wash.; Buffelen Mfg. Co.; Tacoma; Robinson Mfg. Co.; Everett; American Door & Mfg. Co.; Hoquilam; Peternail Mfg. Co. of Tacoma. Investigation of the alleged conspiracy to fix prices was begun late in 1923 under the direction of Atty. Gen. Harry M. Daugherty, who sent Henry A. Guiler, assistant attorney general, to the Pacific coast to investigate price fixing. The complaint filed late Monday was ordered filed by Harlan F. Stone, successor to Daugherty, and has been in process of preparation at Washington for several SEATTLE, May 6. The guard cutter Haida has been called from the Bering Sea for Major Frederick L. Martin, the missing flagplane Seattle is proceeding to Atka to cease the three remaining planes their 530 mile hop to Attu Island. It was feared that the boat might be damaged in the ice of the Bering Sea. The coast guard cutter Atkaquin, now at Chignik, will probably resume the search in Bering Bay abandoned by the Haldaan. This information is contained in a message from Lieut. Low Smith, acting commander or remaining round-the-world expedition now at Atka. The message was intercepted by the Bremerton Navy station and relayed to the staff headquarters, 15th Naval District here. A second message from Haida, signed "Commander O'Gard Patrol," certified by Smith's report. It also stated that the Haida would probably arrive Atka some time this afternoon. Smith's radiogram declared he and his companion were well and ready to hop off for Alaska with the arrival of Haida, weather permitting. The hopoff will probably make early Wednesday morning he intimated. The two natives proceeded overland across the peninsula from Chignik with dog teams on the land search for Major Martin in Sergeant Alva Harvey, his chanile, have not been heard since leaving the coast, Lieut. Smith said. The Brislut Bay coast from Porter Moller to Herndon Bay has been carefully combed by search without results, but the hunt for the lost aviators is continued, Smith said. CORDOVA, Alaska, May 6. Another day passed without trawl of Major Frederick L. Martin and Sergeant Harvey of the flapsail Seattle of the U.S. army round-the-world flight, high hopes ocurred during the first days of the search that they would found alive began to dwindle. However, Lieut. Blissel of the army air service and Major Martin's three flying companion near Atka Island still express belief that the missing flies are not alive but will be found. Seach is now centering on the northern or Bering Sea side of the Alaskan Peninsula. Glowing Reports of Trout Fishing at Big Bear Lake Fishing at Big Bear lake is the best it has been in a long time, according to local sportsmen. Nearly every party from Anaheim has landed the limit—10 pounds and one fish. Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Bever and Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Ladd got back last night with their 20 pounds of fine rainbows. Al Cook, E. Bushard and Paul Weber also obtained all the law allowed, and Cook alone caught five in one hour, according to his friends. Mr. E. Beebe, N. M. Durkee and L. L. Bruna, led by George Tickleering of Placentia-rd., are others reported bringing the limit to gaff. Other fishermen who went are H. B. Tobin and Ed Schlotter. The road by way of Victorville is in excellent condition. There are not a great many fishermen there because of the foot and mouth quarantine. Many don't appear to understand that San Bernardino no longer bars the roads. Fishing is open everywhere. Stocking and natural increase are given as the reasons for big supply of rainbows.

FORFORD Waldo Denies He Was Employed By Ford at Any Time WASHINGTON, May 6.—Charges that the house military affairs committee was "packed" with members favorable to Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals, were made today before the senate agriculture committee. The farmers of the northwest think that Henry Ford made a mistake when he came out for President Coolidge, Senator Magnus Johnson, Farmer-Labor of Minnesota, declared. "Like Napoleon and Henry Clay Ford has come to the fork in the road," Johnson said, "he took the wrong road when he came out for Coolidge." Johnson urged the committee to proceed slowly in disposing of the Muscle Shoals question. "I think all this talk about cheap fertilizer is a sop to get the farmers to back up certain propositions," said Johnson. "Ford has done wonderfully well, but that isn't any reason for giving him the whole United States. In the past we have given away everything for nothing to the big trusts and now we're going to lock things up until we get a good price. "The farmers are opening up their eyes about the Ford proposition and I think what we ought to do is to look into it a long time, raise less products and not work so hard. "I would advise Ford to donate $50,000,000 to set up a marketing agency for the farmers to get a fair return for their products." Senator Norbeck, Rep., South Dak., responded that the people of Alabama and Tennessee have delayed congressional action on Muscle Shoals for one year in an effort to block bidders other than Henry Ford from getting the project. "Ford's friends have blocked all action," Norbeck fairly shouted at W. G. Waldo, secretary of the Tennessee River Improvement Ass'n, who was testifying in favor of the Ford offer. "I don't think that is true," returned Waldo. "Oh, yes, you are the people who are delaying action and you are doing it in an attempt to get Muscle Shoals for Ford," said Norbeck. "And while you are stalling, the farmers of the country are crying for fertilizer." Senator Norris, Rep. of Nebraska, chairman, read a copy of the minutes of the Tennessee (Continued on Page Eight) RECOMMENDATION METHOD COMBINED SPRINGFIELD, Massachusetts; church and the Methodist copal church; South, was mended today in the report special joint commissioned to the general conference Bishop William F.

PRESIDENT WILL VETO TAX BILL WASHINGTON, May 6.—Strong indications that President Coolidge will veto the tax reduction bill now pending in the senate because of the rejection of the Melton rates, came from the White House this afternoon. It was stated officially that the president does not propose to enter into any compromise on tax reduction with opposing elements in congress, and that he believes the bill, as it now stands, is undesirable. Among the undesirable features, the president includes not only the Democratic income tax schedules, substituted by the senate for the Melton rates, but also the provisions for general publicity for income tax returns. The conference's action effectively killed the Melton plan and there were indications administration leaders would not attempt to obtain another test vote on it. The Republican leaders also decided to elevate their maximum surtax rates if necessary as high as 37 1-2 per cent in an effort to prevent final adoption of the Democratic (Simmons) schedules. The rate of 37 1-2 per cent was adopted by the house in passing the Longworth bill and will represent the administration's final compromise offer to the Republican insurgents whose support helped to enact the Simmons rates in the senate. OF JAIL Ira Noble, 50, Sought For Murder After Drunken Brawl Last Night With the finding at midnight in front of the La Habra jail of the body of G. B. Rutherford, better known as Jack Ballard, 33, full-blooded Osage Indian, propped up in his coupe which was mysteriously driven for six blocks from the suspected murder scene, deputy sheriffs today were seeking Ira Noble, 40, who is accused by his two nephews, Sewell and Grenville Noble, 25 and 27, now in jail as having wielded the knife which killed the wealthy Indian. All three Nobles live at La Habra. According to the story told by deputies at the sheriff's office here, Rutherford and a friend named Rose were gambling at cards with Ira, Sewell and Granville Noble, at the latter's home in La Habra. A dispute arose; it was said, and according to asserted statements made by the two younger Nobles and their mother, Ira Noble engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with the Indian. In a fit of rage the elder Noble was said to have drawn a knife, thrust it into Rutherford's neck, severing the jugular vein, and then slashed his left shoulder and left wrist with gun weapon. How the body was placed in Rutherford's coupe and driven to the La Habra jail remains a mystery, as both Nobles deny that they they can drive the auto. Rose notified Deputy Sheriff Charles Brown of La Habra that his "partner" was dead in the auto in front of the jail, and Rose has not been seen since. It was reported. There was no blood in the car, and when the officers and Coroner C. D. Brown reached Granville Noble's home, the place had just been scrubbed clean. The shoes and clothes of the murdered man, however, disclosed to the officers that his body had been dragged. Rutherford was said to have married a young Oklahoma woman three months ago. He was reported to have a comfortable income from royalties of oil wells in Oklahoma. An inquest conducted by Coroner Brown was to be held at Meaulay's undertaking parlors in Fullerton. The two nephews are being held in the county jail for investigation.

ALCON, Ohio, May 6.—Bishop William Montgomery Brown of Protestant Episcopal church, goes on trial at Trinityhedral, Cleveland, May 27, on taxes of heresy, today said he tried to place the entire ortho-religion on trial when his opens. The judges will be nine bishops who, under church canons, sit the court of trial of the instant Episcopal church. The case is of international immeasure as it is said to be the theresy trial of an Episcopal church since the Protestant rejection, and marks another step in the struggle between the church "modernist" and the "fundamentalist." "To say that my fellow bishops could sit in judgment on my doctrinal utterances would be to repudiate the fundamental principles of the Protestant reformation," Bishop Brown said today. "The church has never defined what constitutes heresy. If it is so blind to modern that and science that it will hark back to the bigoted and superstitious Elizabethan age for authority by the men condemning me and my utterances, it will be the church that will be condemned and destroyed by my forthcoming trial, not Bishop Brown."
