A. Gaddle and others What Butler Says Cuts Little Ice WASHINGTON, May 10.—Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia University was criticized in the house today by Representative Tillman, Democrat of Ark., for declaring in support of beer and light wines. Butler could be "better employed," Tillman said. Representative LaGuardia, Republican of New York, said the "drys" should be grateful as Butler was unsuccessful generally in that which he advocated, and "he does not belong to my faction of the Republican party." CHURCH BOND 35 OVERCOOK BY GAS IN TUNNEL Exhaust from Autos Fatal to Many Pittsburgh PITTSBURG, May 10.—A 35 persons were overcome by oxyde gas poisoning in the Demand That Wasteful Experience of Santa Fe Springs be Avoided Following recommendations made by H. A. Gaddle and others at a largely attended meeting last night in Cypress, committees were appointed to organize the pools, one to a section, in each of four sections of the prospective oil field. In section 16, C. L. Earnett, Sam Miller and George H. Miller were named; Section 16, J. J. Denni, O. P. Bunyard, and Senator Anderson; Section 9, C. F. Buttehlocher, G. G. Priddy and W. J. Bonnie; Section 10, C. E. Wilcox, Joe Nitter and C. S. Cox. The crowd included men of Long Beach, Whittler and Los Angeles. The suggestion that four pools be organized, one in each of the town sections, came from Robert Farrar, attorney of Charles G. T. Jones, the wealthy Angelono who is furnishing most of the capital for the Gaddie well. The Gaddie people then would go to big company to do War Depends once a field was assumed brid. Farrar pointed constant summer field at Coyote Hills where drilling had been partly restricted. One well was filled to each ten acres. Drilling has been going on there longer than in almost any other field. Farrar showed that excessive drilling not only spoils the gas pressure, but flows water to enter a field. H. A. Gaddle suggested that owners with less than 29 acres unite in the pools. He made it clear that he and his associates were not acting with a merely selfish purpose in suggesting the restrictions. By doing so, offset wells could be avoided. He asked that his company if it were found in a financial position to do at the time, should be given an equal chance with other companies to drill wells for the four pools. No prices, he continued, were being set on bonuses. Attorney Farrar would make out the contract papers. Realty owners in town voiced the opinion that drilling in the town itself would spoil reality values. Gaddie declared it wasteful to drill more than one well to five acres. He asserted that the Compton field was starting just as that at Santa Fe Springs had done. Pooling was even more beneficial to lessors than to losses. The bonus would be pro-rated as follows: - The First Christian church of Anaheim, having secured through the regular channels permission to place on sale bonds for the purpose of completing its splendid new structure at Helena and Broadway, announces that its bonds are now ready for delivery. The following is a clear statement of the assets of this church when its building stands completed. Total cost according to contracts, $97,520.00. Now, the First Church offers for sale bonds or serial notes to the extent of $450.000. These notes are to be retired at the rate of $4500 each year, thus covering a period of ten years. These notes can be purchased for as low as $100.00 and bear interest at 7 per cent payable semi-annually. After thoro investigation a prominent business man made the following statement which covers the ground very nicely: Mortgage real estate bonds when as conservatively appraised as this issue provide a wide margin of safety sought by the prudent investor, and issues of this character meet the requirements of such discriminating investors as insurance companies, banks and trust companies and are a very desirable investment for funds held in trust by executives and administrators, providing as they do a safe and sure source of income for those dependent on the earnings of such estates. "They are not strictly negotiable, but bonds of this character are readily transferable, and a favorite form of investment for private capital." "The purpose of this issue is to provide funds for the completion of the church edifice located on the corner of Broadway and Helena." CHURCH BOND ISSUE WILL BE SOLD PITTSBURG, May 10.-A 25 persons were overcome by oxyde gas poisoning in the bound tunnels leading to Hills, shortly after 1 o'clock day when an auto collision med traffic for the tunnel tire length of one and one mile. More than a score of people rushed to hospitals and available pulmotors were at the mouth of the tunnelusticate those overcome by deadly gas. The new tunnels have been only a few weeks and retests of their safety are supposed to have been made. Affording a short cut from populous South Hills residency section, they are taxed to cash during the early morning hours. With the street car in effect here today they jammed with a heavy inflight traffic. Police reserves were rush patrol ways to guard against stampede into the tunnel by rescuers. Half erased men and a struggled thrue the impenetrable darkness as the black poured from the two tubes lemmen with no other protein than hankerchiefs over their worked until they dropped had to be removed by workers. When the collision occurred motorsist that the jam quickly untangle itself and no effort to leave their within a few minutes, how the deadly gas from racing gines filled the tunnel and tie men and women scrambled the two exits. Shrinks for help added confusion and the pandemic reigning for half an hour tunnel made rescue work impossible. Powerful lights were placed at the end of the tunnel but could not trate the darkness and the lights lining it were of little distance. Gas masks reaching the were quickly donned by weasel as the rescue teams plunged the cavernous darkness. The aspiration pumps of the buremins were overworked and rescuers fought feverishly to the unconscious back to safety. No prices, he continued, were being set on bonuses. Attorney Farrar would make out the contract papers. Royal owners in town voiced no opinion that drilling in the town itself would "apoll really values." Gaddie declared it wasteful to drill more than one well to five acres. He asserted that the Compton field was starting just as that at Santa Fe Springs had done. Pooling was even more beneficial to lessors than to lessors. The bonus would be pro-rated according to acreage, an average being struck. Owners should authorise their trustees to lease to certain concurns and not others. Gaddie suggested further that an expert should be appointed to watch water shutouts and the spacing of wells. Permission would have to be obtained from Sacramento in order to get an all-time State export for the purpose. James Mayberry, prominent Santa Fe Springs lessee, who owned the ranch there on which the first well was drilled, said the name Myers came from the sand on his ranch. Commenting on over-drilling, Mayberry asserted that over-lapping at Santa Fe Springs was well known. The Cypress plan of pools was excellent. Mayberry also owns land at Cypress which would be within the field, if a field is developed. Pooling of leases would make it possible to avoid offset wells, he said. The owner wants the highest bonus he can get. At Santa Fe Springs owners would go to one concern after another obtaining offers, and that sort of bargaining was not always on the level. Eight per cent of the oil still is left in the Santa Fe field, according to Mayberry, but the gas pressure is exhausted, and pumping has to be resorted to. The Myers Well No. 6 is in front of Mayberry's house at the Springs. He is one of seven men who put up $7500 each for the first well. Hugh Conner, Los Alamitos master and a trustee for 400 acres of possible oil lands, said the Shell Oil Co.'s well near Seal Beach was being watched for developments. The pool plan was wise in his opinion. Many persons said Connor, (Continued on Page Two) PARIS, May 10—Count Ludwig Salm Von Hoogstraten, in an exclusive statement this afternoon vigorously denied his romance with his young American bride, Millicent Rogers, heirata to $400,000,000, has been wrecked. The countess, accompanied by her father, Col. H. H. Rogers, sailed for New York on the liner France. Count Salm departed for Vienna to play tennis. "At present Millicent is unable to stand so much traveling and heat, so she is going to America to furnish a house at some quiet sea shore resort," said Count Salm. "She requires rest and quiet." Asked as to the present attitude of the Rogers' family toward him, he count replied: "They are charmed. They cold at first but conditions changed." The family bitterly opposes hasty marriage in New York January when the 19 year helress was swept off her feet for the rapid woofing of her 33 old tilted lover. Colonel Rogers' generosity dently did not equal the ratation the count said he felt the nuptials. When Count arrived at the railway station did not possess sufficient time to check his baggage for Wife He apparently had only a full of dollar bills. He claim sufficient number of tickets to the baggage bill. As he did he remarked: "I do not want to waste far."

Successfully negotiating the longest hop of their Alaska trip, America's three round-the-world flights were at Chicago off Island of Attu, today preparing for the jump across the Pacific which will land them on Japanese soil. The flies arrived at Attu last night at 9 p.m. (Pacific coast time) according to a relay radio message received here today. The three planes hopped off from Atka at 2:10 (Pacific coast time) yesterday afternoon and made the long flight in a little less than seven hours. Inasmuch as the planes were given a threo overhauling at Atku, it is expected that they will be in readiness for the flight across the Pacific as soon as word is received that the weather is favorable. Steamers along the "great circle" are reporting daily to naval radio station at S. Pault island weather conditions in order to keep the filers informed. This is a season of fog and wind but the filers are hopeful they will be able to make the jump quickly. It had been planned to arrive in the Kurile by May 8. American and Japanese destroyers are awaiting the filers there and great preparations have been made in Japan for the welcoming of the birdmen. They hope to reach Takio by May 15 if weather conditions do not hold them up at Attu. No word has been received of the missing flight commander Major Frederick Martin who dropped out of the flight while flying from Chiknik to Dutch Harbor 10 days ago. Lieut Lowell H. Smith is in command of the globe-circlers in his absence. Lieuta Erik Nelson and Leighton Wade are the other pilots. NEW BILL Senate Rejects Flatly All Recommendations of Administration (By William K. Hutchinson) (L. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, May 10. After flatly rejecting all recommendations of the administration, the senate this afternoon passed a new tax reduction bill based upon rates proposed by a coalition of Democrats and Republican insurgents. The senate's action gave the administration its biggest legislative defeat of the present session of congress. The Mellon plan of tax reduction was flatly repudiated and the bill probably will run into a presidential veto as a result. It now goes to conference for adjustment of rates which differ from those enacted by the house and will not reach the White House for at least two weeks. The senate measure would sharply reduce taxes upon the small taxpayers, granting them a reduction from four to two percent on their normal income rates but maintaining a maximum surtax rate of 40 per cent as compared to 69 per cent in existing law. It also would provide a straight 25 per cent reduction in all 1923 income taxes, payable during the present year. The size of the vote—63 to 15 —in favor of the bill, was surprising in view of the greatly smaller majorities by which administration amendments to the bill were heaten this week. Democrats were quick to point out that the bill could be passed over the president's veto if the 69 senators who favored it on initial passage kept their ranks intact. The bill was condemned by administration leaders. Senator Smoot, Republican of Utah chairman of the finance committee declared it would result in a deficiency of $160,000,000 a year if it became law. He charged the coalition amendments had "robbed" the government of $110,000,000 in revenues. A number of Republicans, including Senators Moses of New Hampshire and Brandegee of Connecticut, served notice they would vote against the measure when it comes back from conference "unless it is radically changed." The Democrats and insurgent Progressives, however, were jubilant. They contended the bill (Continued on Page 2). NAVY PAYMENT SHORT SEATTLE, May 10. Of between $1500 and discovered in the Liceut.
