Coolidge' HOT DEBATE PRECEDES ACTION Returned to Conference With Instructions not To Accede WASHINGTON, May 9.—Rejecting the insistent demand of Dump $1,000,000 of Contraband Liquor SAN FRANCISCO, May 9.—Prohibition Director Samuel F. Rutter was making plans today to destroy $1,000,000 worth of seized liquor according to court orders to get rid of a portion of the $5,000,000 worth of booze held in warehouses here. The liquor to be destroyed consists of rare old wines, high grade whiskey, poor moonshine and "poison" liquor. Dumping the supply will establish a new record here. Rutter said excessive warehousing costs made destruction of the booze necessary. $200,000 PAID FOR GROVE A. R. Marsom of Fullton Buys 96 Acres in LaHabra Valley A real estate deal in which than $200,000 is said to have ACTION Returned to Conference With Instructions not To Accede WASHINGTON, May 9.—Rejecting the insistent demand of President Coolidge that Japanese exclusion be postponed until March 1, 1925, to allow Secretary of State Hughes time to negotiate a treaty that will placate Japanese feeling, the house late today voted to send the immigration bill back into conference with express instructions to the house conferences not to accede to any exclusion date later than July 1 next. The action of the house is the most decisive defeat President Coolidge has sustained at the hands of congress. The vote was 191 to 171. Just prior to the vote to recommit the bill with instructions the house by a vote of 189 to 174 specifically rejected the amendment that was dictated by Mr. Coolidge himself which provided that exclusion "shall not take effect until March 1, 1925, before which time the president is requested to negotiate with the Japanese government in relation to the abrogation of the present arrangement (the gentlemen's agreement)." The senate's action came as a distinct blow to the White House and the state department, as the president had expected to be sustained. Whether the president will now feel constrained to veto the bill is problematical. Some members of the house stated in the debate that preceded the vote that they had been informed President Coolidge would sign the bill with the March 1 date, but not with the July 1 date. Administration senators, however, declared the president would not veto the bill regardless of congress' repudiation of his policy. WASHINGTON, May 9.—Congressional resentment over the postponement of Japanese exclusion, insisted upon by President Coolidge, flared up in the house this afternoon as soon as the conference committee having the immigration bill in charge submitted its compromise agreement. Two points of order against the house accepting the conference report were immediately made by Representative Sabath, Democrat of Illinois, and Representative Baker, Rep. of Calif. HOSTILITIES THREATEN IN MANY PARTS Fighting and threats of hostilities were reported from various parts of Europe, Asia and Africa today. According to a report printed by the London Daily Express, both Russia and Roumania are making war-like preparations along the Russo-Roumanian frontier by massing troops. These nations have long engaged in a territorial dispute. Fighting between French gendarmerie and Turks again is reported from the Syrian frontier—on the edge of the Syrian district, under French mandate. Spanish forces in Morocco have been engaged in a two days offensive against the Riff tribesmen in the Beaul Desaud sector of the battle front. The tribesmen's loss was put at 590. Communists are active all over Germany. They have precipitated strikes of half a million men and fears are felt that under the urging of Russia, they may attempt to wage a war against the existing order of things. LONDON, May 9.—Russia has been concentrating troops along the Roumanian frontier, according to a report printed by the Daily Express today. Roumania is said to be rushing soldiers to strategic border points. The Russians are reported to be fortifying a line along the Dnei river. The populations of the district where the military movements are under way are fleeing southward. Soviet Russia and Roumania have been at loggerheads ever since the latter necessary. GROVE A. R.

Marsom, prominent Fullton man and operator of a local diving academy. Mr. Marsom that by the deal he takes over W. J. Hole ranch in La Habraley, containing 96 acres of enclina oranges.

PROTEST AT DELAY IN BUDGET BUREAU WASHINGTON, May 9.—P dent Coolidge today receive vigorous protest from a group western senators against the tion of the budget bureau holding up funds for reclamation projects in the west. A delegation headed by Sen Jones of Washington, and inc PROTEST AT DELAWARE IN BUDGET BUREAU WASHINGTON, May 9.—The proposal put forward by President Coolidge and Secretary of State Hughes for extending the date upon which Japanese exclusion becomes effective until March 1, 1925, appeared doomed to defeat today. There was every indication that Japanese exclusion would be fixed for July 1, next, as planned by the framers of the new immigration bill. The house probably will agree to the president's request for time extension, but resentment is more pronounced in the Senate and leaders of both parties expect the senate will refuse to abide by the conference report dictated by Mr. Coolidge. Rejection by either house will throw the bill back into conference for further discussion and in such event it is considered likely the July 1 date will be re-adopted and then ratified by both houses. The conference report was called up in the house today and put on passage. SEEK PAYMASTER SEATTLE, May 9.—While an investigation was being made today into his accounts, a search for Lieut. Lester B. Karrelle, U. S. N., paymaster in charge of commissary stores at the Puget Sound Navy Yard, missing since Tuesday, was continued by department of justice agents in compliance with navy regulations and not because the missing officer is under any suspicion, according to Commander M. L. Draemel, aide to the commandant of the yard. Commander Draemel believes that Karrelle may have suffered a nervous breakdown due to illness. Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results.

AMITE, La., May 9.—As three sharp cracks resounded across the little prison yard here this afternoon six Italians were shot, two at a time, thru a double gallows, to their deaths. They paid their lives to the state of Louisiana for the slaying of one man. The murdered man was Dallas Calmes, killed at Independence, La., three years ago during an attempted bank robbery by the sextet. Beginning at 12 o'clock sharp, it took the hangman only one hour and fifteen minutes to dispose of his victims. The men who died were Joseph Giglio, Natale Deamore, Roy Leona, Joseph Bocchio, Joseph Rini and Andrea Lamantia. With the exception of Lamantia, who made an attempt to commit suicide by stabbing himself near the heart a few minutes before his march to the gallows, all met death bravely and without offering any opposition. After stabbing himself near the heart with a small pocket knife, Lamantia was carried to his death on the gallows in a dying condition. With him went Joseph Bocchio, another of the doomed men. Their death march began, immediately after the bodies of Roy Leona and Natale Demore had been shot from the same gallows. Lying prostrate in his death chair, four men carried Lamantia on his march down the prison corridor, up a flight of stairs and to the gallows. With his head drooping and his body apparently lifeless the traps were sprung in haste in order to prevent him from cheating the state of Louisiana of a victim. STARIED Sebastian Bros.' Growth Makes Expansion Necessary Ground for the big extension to the Odd Fellows' building at 125-131 W. Center-st. including a new store for Sebastian Bros., was broken this morning. What the alterations to the Odd Fellows' quarters will consist of has been described in general in these columns. So far as the changes on W. Center street are concerned, one of the features will be the new store front to be put into the building now occupied by the Modern Gas Appliances who will be succeeded by Sebastian Bros. These alterations consist of a marble, tile and plate glass show window space measuring 94 linear feet. This space will be 26 feet deep. In addition to the three sides of the space, there will be a center showcase. The store will measure with the addition 30 feet wide by approximately 150 feet deep. At the rear provision will be made for a mezzanine floor when desired to accommodate the firm's offices. The larger store has became necessary because of the growth of the firm. Sebastian Bros. opened their doors in Anaheim, Dec. 13, 1917, in a small store at 175 W. Center, with a small stock of dry goods, notions, men's furnishings, shoes, etc. "This store chose Anaheim as its home only after much considera­ration and weighing of its possi­bilities against those of other Soil communities," says J.P. Sebastian. "It was very apparent that Anaheim was destined to become a great city." "So Sebastian Bros. laid plans for the foundation on which to build a greater store." "To do so the management determined to win and hold its trade on merit, to offer such values and such services as would make the store popular." "Since then there has been no wavering in this policy, which has made such an amazing appeal. There has been no mystery about the store's policy: 'Merit is the trademark of success. Value is the true test of cheapness." "After one year's time larger quarters were sought at 119 W. Center-st., and after the expira­tion of the lease on these premises the firm is found seeking still larger quarters."

Burrier, Santa Ana rancher, descended from his car to pick pretty posies for Mrs. Nellie Vollmer, pump divorcee, who is suing him for $5847 in superior court for damage alleged to have been sustained when his car collided with another, he inserted in the corriage some poison oak. Thus, besides the injuries she sustained, the road leading to what might have become a marital highway was rendered more rough, she alleged in the superior court of Judge R. Y. Williams. After hearing all the evidence in the case the jury deliberated four minutes and denied the luxom defendant any damages. In enlarging upon the poison oak episode Mrs. Vollmer set forth that when she clutched the flowers to her bosom that the effects of the poison weed was increased by reason of her dress, which included a low neck and short sleeves. DEMOS RATE SCHEDULE ADOPTED Radical Republicans and Farmer-Laborites Vote With Majority (By William K. Hutchinson) NOTHING BUT VETOES LIE AHEAD WASHINGTON, May 9.—Nothing but vetoes lie ahead. President Coolidge has let it be known that certain bills pending in Congress do not meet with his approval and the only inference that now can be drawn is that he will veto most of them. The president sent for Senators Lodge, Borah and Smoot. He talked over with them, the whole legislative program and the question of adjournment. The Democrats have indicated a change of front—they no longer feel that congress should be terminated before the political conventions. Their opportunities for attack and publicity and continued investigation would be hampered, they feel, by falling in line with the Republican plan of adjournment. Also, there are too many bills in which the insurgent Republicans and the Democrats have a united interest and which the regular Republicans would like to lose in the shuffle. The president is plainly dissatisfied with the tax bill in its present shape. He hopes for a change in conference and will not announce an intention to veto the bill in advance of consideration of its merits after it comes to him. But many of the features of the bill are so obnoxious to big business, particularly that which makes income tax returns open to public inspection, that a veto is rapidly becoming probable. When word, however, reaches the senate that the tacking on of michievous provisions may bring a veto, the chances are they will be eliminated as the senate collectively or individually would not take the responsibility for defeating tax revision. Some Republicans think it would not be a bad idea to carry the issue to the country in COUNCIL TO EXTEND CITY LIMITS City council last night agreed to call an election on a proposition to annex about 150 acres at the northwest part of the city, bringing in the 40 acres industrial tract, sugar factory, chemical factory and beef packing house. All qualified voters in the tract, numbering about half a dozen, are said to be willing for annexation which is desired by industries to obtain sewage disposal, water and fire protection thru the city. After the county has paved No. Lemon-st., residents in the section as far north as Orangethore will vote for annexation to Anaheim, it is declared. Council extended a vote of thanks to Mrs. Ben Baxter for gift of three ornamental trees which have been planted in city park. Acting City Manager Butler was instructed to take up with railroads complaints of rough crossings, particularly at the S. P. depot. Bids on road rollers were referred to finance committee. They ranged from $5090 to $5475 on 12-ton to 14-ton gas driven rollers. Supt. V. W. Hannum of the city powerhouse reported that in compliance with request of federal authorities, sewage was being cooked at 210 degrees for 30 minutes before it was hauled to Bastanchurry ranch. The federal officials had asked only for 170 degrees. A steam pipe with six jets is run into a steel tank on a truck. The question of who shall bear expense has not been determined. Butler reported that County Engineer McBride had been given the order to go ahead with graveling of North-st. inside city limits. ADOPTED Radical Republicans and Farmer-Laborites Vote With Majority (By William K. Hutchinson) (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, May 9.—Sweeping everything before them, the coalition of Democrats and insurgent Republicans in the Senate this afternoon accomplished the complete rout of the administration forces in the fight over the tax reduction bill and wrote into the measure the entire scale of Democratic rates. On a straight vote between the Democratic rates and the rates of the Longworth compromise bill that already has passed the house, the Democratic rates were voted into the bill by 46 to 38. An effort by Senator Smoot to have the maximum surtax 32 per cent was voted down, 47 to 36. The 32 per cent figure was a compromise between the Mellon figure of 25 per cent and the Democratic figure of 40 per cent which administration leaders had been hopeful of securing. Seven insurgent Republicans, Brookhart of Iowa; Frazier of North Dakota; Johnson of California Ladd of North Dakota; Howell and Norris of Nebraska, and Norbeck of South Dakota, joined with the Democrats and the Farmer-Labor senators in rejecting the compromise figures. An effort to increase exemptions on the normal taxes from $1000 to $2000 for single persons was defeated without a record vote. A similar fate befell an effort to raise the exemptions for married couples from $2500 to $3000. Both proposals were made by Senator Trammell, Democrat of Florida. The senate also refused to reduce from three to two years the time allotted tax payers in which to claim exemptions on business losses. WASHINGTON, May 9.—The new tax reduction bill, written by a Democratic-insurgent coalition faced increased prospects of a presidential veto today as it neared final enactment in the senate. Supported by the insurgent group: Democratic leaders wrote into the new revenue measure nearly all their own tax while recommendations of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon were abandoned with studied regularity. But many of the features of the bill are so obnoxious to big business, particularly that which makes income tax returns open to public inspection, that a veto is rapidly becoming probable. When word, however, reaches the senate that the tacking on of michievous provisions may bring a veto, the chances are they will be eliminated as the senate collectively or individually would not take the responsibility for defeating tax revision. Some Republicans think it would not be a bad idea to carry the issue to the country in the coming campaign, pointing out that the Mellon plan is popular and that the Democrats and insurgents would be held to accountability for bloodying the plan. Mr. Coolidge is going to veto the immigration bill if it comes to him in its present form. He has taken pains to explain that he was misinterpreted a week ago when he announced his favored exclusion of the Japanese. The Japanese themselves do not object to the principle of the exclusion for they are beginning to recognize that it is an economic question in the United States and that every nation has a right to exclude labor likely to be competitive with its own. But the Japanese insist that the method of accomplishing exclusion is an offense to them. Secretary Hurges favors agreement by treaty. So does the president. Mr. Coogan is trying to secure a modification. If he falls he will be compelled to veto the measure and ask for the insertion of a clause delaying the enforcement of the act so far as the Japanese are concerned until a year or so has been given for negotiation and ratification of a special treaty with Japanese. Mr. Coolidge's conferences with senate leaders to point out the perils of the legislative situation have begun none too soon. The Republican leaders has lost control of the senate and the exercise of the veto power alone will, at this time, affect the insurgent Republican along with the Democrats on specific issues.

WASHINGTON, May 9.—The new tax reduction bill, written by a Democratic-Insurgent coalition faced increased prospects of a presidential veto today as it neared final enactment in the Senate. Supported by the insurgent group) Democratic leaders wrote into the new revenue measure nearly all their own tax while recommendations of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon were abandoned with studied regularity. The regular Republican leaders were confronted with so one-sided a battle for administration tax policies that Senator Smoot of Utah, Majority financial chieftain finally served notice he would no longer oppose minority amendments to the bill. Smoot's action was taken as a complete surrender on the part of administration leaders to the will of the Democratic-Insurgent coalition and as a new indication that President Coolidge plans to veto the measure. The bill probably will pass the senate tonight or tomorrow going then to conference for adjustment of rates which differ from the house (Longworth compromise) bill. It probably will not reach the White House for two weeks and the president, reports said, will send it back to congress with a veto and a recommendation for the immediate enactment of a new bill slashing 25 per cent from all 1923 income taxes. The bill, as it goes to the White House, undoubtedly will be a compromise schedule adopted by the house.
