BELIEVE SENATE TO DEFEAT VETO WASHINGTON, May 19—President Coolidge set out in earnest today to swing the senate tide in favor of sustaining his veto of the soldiers' bonus bill. Bring the weight of his personal influence to bear on "doubtful" senators, the president had on his breakfast guests at the White House this morning seven Republican senators whose commitments in favor of the bonus are said not to be invocable. They were Harreld, Okla.; Philpe, Col., Sterling, S. D., McKinley, Ill.; Cameron, A.M.; Dale, Ver.; and Keyes, N.H. It was Senator Herreld's vote, reversed at the last moment after the roll call had been completed, that sustained the president's veto of the Bursum pension bill by the narrow margin of a single vote last week. All senators summoned to the White House breakfast voted for the bonus on its initial passage, and all have been accounted by friends of the bonus as in favor of it over the veto, altho some have been classed as "wavering". They voted for the original bonus bill a year ago, but switched and voted against it after it had been vetoed by the late president Harding. After returning to the capital from the White House, Senators Harreld and Dale both informed newspaper men that they would vote to override president's veto. Their votes, they said, were unchanged by the president's argument against the bonus at the breakfast. The fate of the bonus was considered today as hinging upon the narrowest of margins in the senate. If the seven senators who were summoned to the White House this morning would vote to sustain the president's veto, it is not improbable that the measure will be defeated by one or two votes, exact figures being impossible because of the uncertainty of the number of senators who will absent them. (Continued from Page One) showed evidence of having been twisted, and that it was broken near the end. All the witnesses testified that it was broken near the end. The bodies of the two men will be removed to Whittier cemetery for interment. The coroner's jury was composed of E. G. Beehower, C. S. Gauge, A. D. Moody, M. Pitts, W. A. Goodwin, and R. S. Gregory. 5 DEAD; 3 DYING; IN AUTO CRASHES LOS ANGELES, May 19.—Five dead and three dying was the toll today of traffic accidents in and near Los Angeles during the week-end.

He said: "Since the imminent question has been virtually settled and the crisis engendered is past, I am yielding to far reasons. I am leaving with urine regret, especially because I am giving up the work in a c The fate of the bonus was considered today as hinging upon the narrowest of margins in the senate. If the seven senators who were summoned to the White House this morning would vote to sustain the president's veto, it is not improbable that the measure will be defeated by one or two votes, exact figures being impossible because of the uncertainty of the number of senators who will absent themselves from the chamber at voting time. Senator Harreld ventured the last were non-committal when they left the White House. Senator Herrell ventured the opinion that "no votes have been changed by the breakfast conference," but did not say how he would vote. Following the departure of the seven guests, Senator Smout, Rep., Utah, and Senator Kendrick, Dem., Wyo., called on the president. Smout said he believed the president's veto would be overridden by a "couple of votes." Backers of the bonus were made more confident than ever today that the president will be overridden when Senator Lenroot, Rep., Wis., returned to the capital after a two months' absence, and announced he would vote for the bonus. He had been listed as among the pro-bonus senators who would be absent on the test. The president, it is understood, succeeded in winning over one senator to the administration viewpoint—Senator Sterling, S. D. After returning to the Capitol, Sterling is reported to have told colleagues he would vote to sustain the president. He declined to state his position to newspapermen. Sterling recently was defected for re-nomination in the South Dakota primaries and is due to retire next March. Senator Cameron told newspapermen after the White House conference that he had not "made up his mind yet." TO SPRINGS FOR WEEK J. D. Heinshuren of North Los Angeles went to Murrieta Hot Springs yesterday for several days' recuperation. He will join his brother, J.

Taylor was held in jail here today on a charge of suspicion of assault with intent to kill Glick D.

The conference is expected to recommend a national bread law, fixing standards of weights, so that the public will be amply protected against fraud.

The conference is expected to recommend passage by congress of a bread weight law affecting this commodity in interstate commerce. Such a law has already been presented in the house, having been drafted to meet the supreme court requirements. Included in the specific problems before the weights and measures conference will be recommendations for more accurate testing of laximeters strong enforcement of laws of inspection for measuring gasoline containers, accurate measure for berries sold in baskets, against fraudulent marking of jewelry and other commodities.

The hotel located at 4061 East Fourth st., was pictured by Butcha as being at one time a thriving rendezvous for bootleggers and women of the scarlet letter until the police gave warning that it must be cleaned up. It was then that Lillian Emmett sold him the place he alleged. When he attempted to run the place on a decent basis he claimed that all but two of his patrons left him and that as the result of the former situation his place had suffered such a "black eye" that it is now impossible to establish it as a reputable hostelry. MAY SELL WILDCAT DERRICKS FOR TAX At the half-way point in his annual assessment campaign, County Assessor James Sleeper paused today to announce that personal property tax collection, which he also makes, is proceeding slowly; also, that there may not be as many oil derricks in night late this summer as there are now. As a result of the present recalcitrance among the personal property owners to pay their taxes, Sleeper said that he may shortly start welding the legal weapon in the form of attachments to awaken them to their obligations. But a very small portion of the total personal property taxes due in the county, which the assessor estimated at approximately $1,700,000, has been paid, he said, altho the taxes have been due since March 1. He said that a number of oil rigs on ground which had not proved up would undoubtedly be sold for taxes, inasmuch as the owners are not prone to invest further in the form of tax payments.
