LA FOLLETTE BIG QUESTION MARK By GEO. R. HOLMES (I.N.S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, May 6. — The biggest political question mark of the 1924 campaign in the person of Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin, left the capital today for an indefinite period, maintaining the same grim silence as to his future plans that has kept political leaders of both major parties guessing for weeks. LaFollette departed for Atlantic City, where he plans to spend two weeks or more in recuperating from the illness that has kept him off the congressional battle line most of this session. Upon the results of this recuperative period and the political developments of the next month depends whether LaFollette will throw a monkey wrench into the political machinery of the old parties by heading a third or independent ticket this fall. That the election of the president probably will be thrown into the house of representatives if LaFollette runs, is generally conceded by Republican and Democratic leaders. Irrespective of who the Democrats nominate at New York City, a fairly close election is anticipated, and it would take but the defection of a few states to a third party candidate to prevent either Mr. Coolidge or his Democratic opponent from obtaining the necessary majority in the electoral college. According to LaFollette's present intentions, as revealed to friends here, he does not plan to make any announcement of his course of action until both parties have nominated their candidates. A conference for progressive political action will meet in Cleveland on July 4 and this will afford the Wisconsin insurgent an opportunity to state his candidacy if he cares to take advantage of it. LaFollette's friends say he will not participate in the St. Paul convention, which meets June 17, the week before the Democratic gathering in New York. This convention will be attended by members of the committee of 48. BUENA PARK BUENA PARK, May 5.

SOCIALISTS WILL CONTROL CABINES BERLIN, May 6. — Official vision of election returns is afternoon cut down the German nationalist victory and must certain that President Nixon would charge the Socialists to form the formation of a new cabinet. The Socialists favor the Dereginations plan; the Nationalists oppose it. The revised figures redistribute the reelection seats as follows: Social Democrats, 100; German Nationalists, 96; Centrists, Communists, 62; German People's Party, 44; Democrats, 28; Hillies, 32; Davarian People's Party, 16. Altho the new coalition government will have a majority in reelection fears were expressed day that a counter-coalition make it extremely difficult to get the laws necessary to put Dawes reparation plan into effect. The government will require two-thirds majority in the reelection votes to change the constitution. Foreign office officials salute policy of the present governors which has already accepted Dawes plan will be continued. The crucial question now whether the straagging receive the Nationalists one or more seats than the Socialists which case President Ebert be morally constrained to chie the Nationalists with the task forming a new cabinet. Incomplete official tabulation gives the Social Democrats the German Nationalists 99 each. Leaders of the Nationalists officially claim 105 seats. Communists will have from to 63 seats. Returns from 10 constituents are missing. HOOSIER VOTERS FAVOR COOLIDGE INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May 1 Indiana was at the polls today show its preference in candidate for president in the Republican party and for governor, congress and local offices in both part- A conference for progressive political action will meet in Cleveland on July 4 and this will afford the Wisconsin insurgent an opportunity to state his candidacy if he cares to take advantage of it. LaFollette's friends say he will not participate in the St. Paul convention, which meets June 17, the week before the Democratic gathering in New York. This convention will be attended by members of the committee of 48, the National Farmer-Labor party, some labor organizations and numerous other minorities, some of which have decidedly more radical tendencies than the sober-minded progressives here care to adopt. LaFollette and his supporters, who include such outstanding midwestern progressives as Senator Norris of Nebraska; Brookhart of Iowa and the entire Wisconsin delegation in the house, are inclined to shy away from political movements that have any red tinge to them. They believe there is an unequaled opportunity this year for a "progressive" cause, provided it is not hamstrung by communist followers. They believe that a movement and candidate backed by the dissatisfied farmers of the west and the more conservative labor unions, such as the great railroad brothoods, stand an excellent chance of being successful in half a dozen states, but they regard any more at his time as premature and suicidal. For this reason, it was said today by those in LaFollette's confidence that the Wisconsin senator is being urged to head a third party but leans more toward running as an independent candidate and confining his activities to a handful of states. Republican leaders are almost prepared to concede LaFollette Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota and possibly Montana, if he runs independently. By securing the electoral votes of these three states even, the choice of a president might be thrown into the house and into indescribable confusion. Voting for president in the house is by states, and the unit rule obtains. Republicans control 23 states' delegations, Democrats 29, while five, Montana, Nebraska, Maryland, Delaware and New Hampshire, are evenly divided and thus would have no vote.

LEADERS RALLY FORCES By WM. K. HUTCHINSON (L.N.S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, May 6—Smarting under the defeat of the Mellon tax rates, Republican leaders rallied their forces in the senate today to save the remainder of the administration's new revenue bill. Altho a coalition of Democrats and insurgent Progressives wrote the Democratic (Simmons) rates into the tax reduction bill, administration spokemen gave notice they would force another test vote on the Mellon plan before the measure is finally enacted by the senate. Indications were that the Mellon plan would only be defeated again. The administration ranks faced a new menace to their program today in the proposal of Republican insurgents to restore the excess profits tax, wiped out several years ago by a Republican congress and condemned by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Led by Senator Brookhart, Republican of Iowa, the insurgents announced they would force a vote on his plan to assess a 10 to 40 per cent tax upon all excess and undivided profits of corporations. A similar but more moderate proposal was made by Senator Jones, Democrat of New Mexico. With night sessions ordered beginning today, there were indications the new revenue bill would be finally enacted by the senate within 48 hours. It must then go to conference to adjust differences between the house and senate bills. The house adopted the Longworth compromise which differs chiefly from the Simmons plan in that its surtaxes range upward only to 37 1-2 per cent. A comparison of the Mellon, Longworth and Simmons bills follows: NORMAL TAX NORMAL TAX INCOME MELLON LONGWORTH SIMMONS $4,000 3 p.c. 2 p.c. Next $4,000 6 p.c. 5 p.c. Above $8,000 6 p.c. 4 p.c.

Dooley, an inmate of the soldiers' home at Sawtelle, is said by the police to have fired four shots at the young woman, two of which took effect. Unrequitted love is believed to have led to the shooting. DECLARES LANDIS STATEMENT UNTRUE WASHINGTON, May 6—Passing the lie to Former Federal Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, C.W.

Middleauff said that Landis' statements to the committee "were untruthful, misleading and unwarranted."

Nearly 800 members and their ladies were present at last night's banquet at the Hotel Maryland. Judge Paul J. McCormick was toastmaster and Joseph Scott of Pasadena and Los Angeles the chief speaker. The first business session of the gathering took place yesterday afternoon when the visitors were welcomed. CAMPAIGN CIGAR RELIC OF PAST WASHINGTON, May 6—On the brink of a great national campaign, the campaign cigar which in the past has brot so many votes—for the other fellow—today saw the writing on the wall. The writing on the ball was in the form of a final death warrant for that other reliable old vote getter—the cucumber seed. It appeared certain today that the senate would not restore to the agricultural appropriation bill an amendment setting $360,000 for free seeds, just killed in the house. Representative Ralph E. Losler of Missouri, supplied congress with some enlightening letters that made up the legislators' minds. The letters were from farm organizations, protesting an attempt to revive the ancient prnettee of representatives and senators of comic valentining their constituents with horse radish and artichoke seeds that stayed underground like the bottom of a well. "The practice of congress distributing free seeds," wrote J. W. Coverdale, secretary of the American Farm Bureau Federation, "is a disgusting form of electionering." The farmers do not want their representatives, Coverdale wrote, to send out "free cucumber seeds designed primarily to take the place of the campaign cigar." Time was when the folks back home got envelope upon envelope of seeds from their congressmen and senators. Then, on election day, the cucumber lovers, the votaries of the succulent tomato, the nibblers of sandy and stringy spinach and the slaves of cold slaw, went to the polls and voted the ticket straight. The letters, some of which said the seeds never grew anything but weary, left the house wonderin if the writers meant the seeds were as bad as their kindred vegetable, the campaign cigar. Several congressmenfurtely drew cigars from their pockets, sniffed them and put them back with the thot that perhaps they had better smoke them. The house adopted the Longworth compromise which differs chiefly from the Simmons plan in that its surtaxes range upward only to 37 1-2 per cent. A comparison of the Mellon, Longworth and Simmons bills follows: NORMAL TAX NORMAL TAX INCOME MELLON $4,000 3 p.c. Next $4,000 6 p.c. Above $8,000 6 p.c. Surtaxes: $10,000 1 p.c. $25,000 8 p.c. $50,000 16 p.c. $100,000 25 p.c. Above $200,000 25 p.c. Above $500,000 25 p.c. The ultimate bill as sent to the White House undoubtedly will be a compromise between the Longworth and Simmons rates. It was generally believed the confeeers would take 10 days or two weeks to adjust the technical differences with indications the measure would not go to the White House until the last week in May. A veto by President Coolidge then would force an extra session of congress after the presidential conventions or a campaign without a tax reduction legislation. LOUIS A. COOLIDGE DOESN'T ASK HELP BOSTON, May 6—Louis A. coolidge, candidate for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate, doesn't want any interference, even from the president himself, and said so in a statement issued today shortly after the arrival of William M. Butler, prospective chairman of the Republican national committee. "The Republicans of Massachusetts have been in the habit of determining who their candidate shall be," reads the statement. "I have been so long familiar with politics that I am sure the president of the United States and the prospective chairman of the national committee are not planning to interfere in the selection of a Republican candidate for the senatorship. That would be manifestly improper and, of course, they realize this." Bain Dealer Classified Ads proce results. Try this medium. GREECE'S NEW REPUBLICAN REGIME SLOWLY GETTING UP ON ITS FEET ALBREXSTONDARE GOES TO TRIAL Dr. Rex H. W. Albrexstondare, charged with practicing medicine without a state license, will go on trial in Superior Judge Z. B. West's court tomorrow. Albrexstondare, who claims to be 90 years of age, although he has the appearance of 30, ascribes his rejuvenation to his own scientific discoveries with reference to diet. Pea pods and alfalfa, he declares, form the basis for many of his medicinal preparations. The self styled scientist also attracted notice by his claim to having successfully manufactured a human body. He failed however, to instill life into it. Financial difficulties of the defendant also brought him into the public eye. In Los Angeles-co he is now facing civil suit aggregating $57,800, representing sums alleged to have been loaned to him for pursuit of his scientific research. Attorneys Otto Sanaker, Santa Ana, and Max Rappaport, Los Angeles, represent Albrexstondare, who is charged with having attended two Orange girls, who died last summer. A similar charge is now pending against Albrexstondare in Los Angeles-co.

PRESIDENT NOT ALARMED ON NAVY WASHINGTON, May 6—President Coolidge does not regard the condition of the American navy as "alarming" or "serious" and he considers the present furore in congress over the alleged lack of efficiency in the navy as largely groundless, it was announced at the White House today. Three resolutions, each providing for an investigation into the navy's condition of efficiency are now pending in the senate and house but the president indicated to callers today that he saw no particular need for extensive congressional probing. Naval replacements and repairs are necessary at this time, the president believed, but these replacements and repairs are the ordinary yearly requirements of the navy and are not such as to indicate any serious depletion of material or any general "run down condition." Basing his belief apparently on the advice of naval experts with whom he has consulted within the past week, the president considers that new cruisers and submarines now in process of building, together with the naval appropriations bill, which provides for additional replacements, will bring the navy up to its usual and required state of efficiency. In any event it was made clear at the White House today that the president does not consider the present condition of the navy as either alarming or serious, despite the furore in congress.
