JAPAN GIVEN QUOTES Authorities Claim Ira Noble Co PUSH EFFORT TO LOCATE JACK ROSE Slaying of Wealthy Oil Man Followed Quarrel Over Debt of $10 Heavy Frost DAMAGE TO DECIDUOUS Valencias in Desirable Sizes Bringing Good Prices in East BIDS FOR MUSCLE SHOALS,PROMISES $50,000,000 SAVING Slaying of Wealthy Oil Man Followed Quarrel Over Debt of $10 Ira Noble was arraigned late today before Justice J. H. Cox on a charge of murder in the first degree. He appeared without counsel and was held without bail for preliminary hearing 10 a.m., June 12. Following the reported confession of Ira Noble, 40, of La Habra, that he killed G. B. Rutherford full blooded Osage Indian of Oklahoma and wealthy oil man, authorities redoubled their efforts to find Jack Rose, said to have been a witness to the slaying, which occurred during an argument over a debt. Rutherford's body was found two days ago in an auto which had been left in front of the La Habra police station. In his written confession to the authorities Noble said the slayer followed a quarry over a debt of $16. What sheriff investigators termed "death walk mystery" shared interest today with the hunt for Rose who is believed can clear up parts of the "confessional" declared to have been made yesterday by Noble following arrest at home of his son-law in La Habra, Dewey Chamblain. Noble, in admitting he stabbed Rutherford, denied he knew what happened to the body. He was under the impression it seemed that Ruthferord took a "dead walk" to his small coupe and then drove it to the city jail where the body was found propped up in the car. There was little blood in the auto. Ed McClellan, chief criminal deputy, however expressed doubt of Noble's version of the uncanny details and announced he was following another line of investigation; details of which he did not disclose. The arrest at La Habra came after Night Watchman Ed Brown had questioned Chamberlain as to the whorebouts of Ed Noble. The prisoner was to be arraign-ed late today before Judge J. B. Cox on a murder charge, the degree of which was not specified. The document was sworn to by Thelmia Rutherford of Orange bride of the Indian.

SWING Give up Hope of Staying Execution for Murder Three Years Ago AMITE CITY, La., May 8.-The six Italians doomed to die tomorrow for slaying Dallas Calmes at Independence, La., three years ago today sat in death cells in the county prison, resigned to their fate. Some time after high noon tomorrow the sextet will be hanged, two at a time. Only a few feet from their cells carpenters were busily engaged in making final arrangements for the execution. Two of the Italians spent the last few hours of their lives in games of solitaire, while the remaining were occupied in conversations. "Pretty cool for this time of year," one of them remarked. Another replied dully in the affirmative. Roy Leona, one of the men who attempted to save the lives of his comrades by confessing to the sole blame, sat nursing knife wounds inflicted in an attempt suicide by stabbing. Outcast by his comrades, he had little to say. They branded him as a "traitor—one who was afraid to die as a man." It was exactly three years ago today that the crime was committed. Six men plotted to rob a small bank at Independence. After driving to that little city they were "looking over the situation" when a man living near was awakened. He cried for the men to halt. An pistol battle ensued. Dallas Calmes dropped dead. Shortly afterward the Italiants were arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to死。An appeal was made; another and still another.The case finally went over to the supreme court of the United States but so no avail. Governor Parker was asked for mercy。他 refused to intercede.Another federal court was askedto staythe executionsbutwouldnot。 The Italian ambassadorat Washington sent envoysto Governor Parker，askingmercy.Governor Parker declaredhe would not interferewiththecourt'sruling.

Another federal court was asked to stay the executions but would not. The Italian ambassador at Washington sent an envoy to Governor Parker, asking mercy. Governor Parker declared he would not interfere with the court's ruling. Today the six men apparently have given up all hope. They are simply waiting. The men will die in pairs, according to the alphabetical order of their names, it was decided by Sheriff Bowden. This means that Bicchihio will die with Deamore; Giglio will die with Lamatia and Leona with Rini. At noon today hundreds of appeals were being made to Governor Parker, for the life of Bocchio.

ENIES Navy is Below Japan And England in Agreed Ratio NEW YORK, May 8.—Assert that the American navy falls new England and Japan in a ratio were rebanded as "precious" today by Secretary of Navy Curtis D. Wilbur; here address the National Security issue tonight. Next week the heads of the news naval department bureau present the congress figures showing that such a statement is preposterous." Secretary Willbury declared in an interview. "I stand for a navy equal to that of any other power," plus a preponderance in those respects not covered by the disarmament treaty". Secretary Willbury said: "There is no immediate danger of war. Our development of the fleet will be constant and not sporadic." "The conference has exceeded its authority and the senate will not confirm it." In the house, Representative Johnson was prevented from bringing up the conference report. Representive Sabbath of Illinois, one of the house conferences, refused to sign the conference report, it became known today and he declared he would fight it from the floor of the house. WASHINGTON, May 9.—a revolt of hurricane proportions was breeding in Congress today over the age-old question of Japanese exclusion-an issue that a week ago was considered settled. The remarkable about-face of the conference committee of the Senate and House agreeing on extension until March 1, 1925, before exclusion becomes effective, has kicked up a tempest that threatens serious complications before it blows itself out. The conference committee agreed to the extension with reluctance and only at the express demand of President Coolidge andSecretary Of State Hughes. It was reported that Mr.Hughes made the matter personal issue and it was at his insistence that the president himself wrotethe amendment whichthe conference finally agreedto submit to their respective houses. The exclusion advocates ledby Pacific Coast members，were seethingwith indignation todand threatening to givethe WhiteHouse and state departmenta sharp rebuke by promptly rejectingthe amendment writteninMr.Coolidge's own hand writing.
