OF HABEAS Sleepy Jurors Dismissed At 2 a.m. Today In Superior Court Altho emerging safely from one trial by reason of a jury disagreement, Glenn B. Churchill, and O. C. Hardebeck, accused trustees of the defunct chain of Keen Hat Stores, were today facing a second trial, set for July 28, and were meanwhile held in the county jail while attempting to raise an increased bail bond of $5000 each. The developments, which further complicated matters for the hat stores promoters and trustees, who are charged with obtaining money from stockholders under false pretences, came in the early hours of today when a sleepy-eyed jury, which had struggled fruitlessly with its problem for nie and a half hours was dismissed and sent home. The jury retired at 4:22 p.m. yesterday, and was dismissed shortly after 2 a.m. after a hopeless division had been announe-ed. Possibility of a move by counsel for Glenn B. Churchill and O. C. Hardebeck to secure their release from the county jail on a writ of habeas corpus from the court of appeals in Los Angeles was being watched today. It was understood that Attorney Morgan Marmaduke, counsel for the accused hat store men would apply for the writ on the grounds of excessive bail. CHARGES THREATS MADE Threats of "You'll see, you'll see," were uttered against Fred C. Mudgett, of Anaheim, former stock salesman of the Keen Hat Stores, by Trustees O. C. Hardebeck and Glenn B. Churchill during the recent trial before Superior Judge R. Y. Williams in Santa Ana, Mudgett declared today. Mudgett accidentally met the two men in one of the rooms of the court house after he had testified and Hardebeck partici­testified, and Hardebeck partic­dence he gave. "You lied all thru," said Hardebeck. He had testified that Hardebeck had told him both he and Churchill had put $5,000 in cash into the business. Mudgett avoided a controversy and left the two. Mudgett was one of the first WATER BONDS CARRIED BY 14 VOTES The proposition to issue $110,000 in bonds for a fifth city well, water mains and fire hydrants was carried yesterday by 14 votes.

Mudgett was one of the first men to call attention to the fact that "something was wrong in Denmark." He and Mrs. Mudgett noticed that money receiv- ed from Mudgett's sales of stock was entered in the books as paid out in salaries after Mudgett's commissions had been deducted, and Mudgett complained to the State Corporation Commissioner. The hearing on this complaint was heard in Los Angeles last January by Deputy Commissioner Dickey, in the presence of many unit holders, and Dickey told the pair he would have to take their permit away. Mudgett's connection as salesman lasted for a year and four months, ending last January. July 8 has been set for the continuation of Bert Kuebler's complaint on the charge of ob- taining money under false pretences and July 10 for the one of the Pugh-Miller Drilling Co., which Miller is pushing.

WHITTIER, May 21.—Steadfastly protesting the innocence of her friendship with Louis Weible, 20, an oil worker, now at the point of death in a local hospital, Mrs. Henry Rentz was to be questioned today by deputy sheriffs regarding the shooting of Weible at the Rentz home. The young woman's husband is now held by the officers following his alleged confession in which he is said to have admitted shooting Weible after finding him hiding under a bed in his home. However, the officers declared they did not feel they were at the bottom of the affair, altho) they obtained a statement from Weible at the hospital in which he declared Rentz shot him, and this later was confirmed by Mrs. Rentz.

It was revealed today by Chief City Engineer Willy Mulholland. On his report to the city council of the attempted blasting, Mulholland declared that the surrounding hills broke the force of blast and prevented a gigantic rush of water from flooding the well section. As it was, he said, the top of the aqueduct was shattered and seven feet of water is rushing over the top. A score of deputy sheriffs were searching the countryside near the aqueduct this afternoon for occupants of two automobiles who believed to have been responsible for the blast. HIDNAP WIDELY KNOWN TEACHER SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.—Poise today were searching for the kidnappers of Roddiph Wanderly, widely known music teacher, whose unexpected return to his home early this morning after an absence of nearly two weeks, endured one of the most unusual displacements in local police annals. Wanderly told a story of having been forcibly thrust into a large city, an unfrequent part of the city and there drugged with opiates 11 days. A roughly printed note found inside Wanderly's unconscious body by Mrs. Lena Wanderly said that the "principal had not come up with the money for kidnapping Wanderly" and that they were returning him.

PREDICT NEW ERUPTION OF KILAUEA HONOLULU, May 21.—All persons within the area of Mount Kilauea volcano were prepared to leave on a minute's notice today following prediction by R. H. Finen, observer, that a tremendous explosion is due momentarily. Finch based his prediction on the increased earthquake activity in the past 24 hours. The military camp has been moved and only a few persons including Finch are remaining close to the crater for observation purposes. No trace has been found of Edward Hinman and Howard Simmons, missing soldiers, who disappeared two days ago after a violent eruption. SAN PRANCISCO, May 21.—The eruption of Mount Kilauea in Hawaii may equal the eruption of 1790 when hundreds of natives were killed, according to the opinion of Dr. T. A. Jagger, director of the Hawaiian observatory which is located close to the mountain's top. He sailed from here today on the liner Manoa recalled from a vacation in the United States by the unusual activity of the volcano which he has studied for years. "The eruption of Kilauea portends more phenomena of this sort," he declared. He said the activity might be grouped with the Japanese earthquakes and the recent earth disturbances in the Philippines and Central America. BY JOHN F. STONE (I.N.S. Staff Correspondent) VOLCANO HOUSE, HAWAII, May 21.—Madam Pele is hu-hu; the volcano goddess is in angry mood; she may break a new path SATGHELS Duckstein Testifies He Saw Valises in Car of Two Agents WASHINGTON, May 21.—Gaston B. Means famous black satchels, containing valuable papers and evidence, were stolen by two investigators for Hiram Todd, special assistant attorney general in New York, W. O. Duckstein, private secretary to E. B. McLean, Washington newspaper publisher, told the Wheeler Brookhart committee today. A subpoena was immediately issued for Todd, who is the assistant attorney general in New York, who has been assigned to the prosecution of Means on an indictment charging him with seeking to bribe former Atty. Cen. Daugherty. Duckstein said that on the night of March 31, the date Means reported the papers were stolen, P. J. O'Brien and Walter Petit called him on the telephone. O'Brien and Petit said they were investigators for Todd and that they had some important papers which they wanted Mrs. Duckstein to identify. "They drove up to the apartment and my wife and I went down to their car. "On the floor of the car were three black satchels. My wife identified them as Means' papers. I was worried about this, so I suggested that we drive out to some lonely road and look at the papers." Duckstein said the party drove to an unfrequented road in Rock Creek park. "O'Brien and Petit earnestly requested that my wife and I keep quiet. They said they were leaving that night for New York to take the papers to Todd." "Did they tell you how they got the papers?" asked Senator Wheeler. "No," said Duckstein. Duckstein also testified O'Brien and Petit were out to "get" members of the Daugherty investigating committee. "Did they tell you how they were going to do it?" asked Wheeler. "Oh, yes," replied Duckstein. "They said they had men in Iowa getting done on Senator Brookhart and men in Montana working up a case on Senator Wheeler."

Building materials are lower by 10 per cent. than at probably any other time in three years, and labor is slightly lower. Within the next two months prices are bound to rise, it is said. Brick is selling here at $14.50 per 1000—a dollar lower than in Los Angeles. In some cases however, a few dollars per carload for freight must be added to Los Angeles prices. Lumber sells here at a minimum base price of $32.50 wholesale. It has been as high as $49 since 1921. Cement can be purchased at 80 cents a barrel in carload lots wholesale against $1.00 or so a year ago. Plaster can be bought in any amount at $18 as against $20 or $21 a year back at this time.

It should equal 125 cars. The Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n will ship 42 cars this week according to Manager G. W. Sandilands, who figures the capacity of his house at 50 cars per week. That is 462-box cars too—not 396 box—which in the aggregate makes a decided difference in tonnage. Sandilands didn't take seriously the 10 per cent, cut in express rates on fruit, vegetables butter and eggs announced in dispatches from Washington yesterday. Fruit is almost never shipped from the Anaheim district by express except by the single box, and the growers will not benefit. The saving throut California is estimated at $1,000,000. According to the American Railway Express the new rates apply only to carload express shipments, something unheard of here. Dispatches mention new 100 pound rates. Even if a adjustment on less than carload shipments should be made Anaheimers already enjoy a special rate on fruit, whether fresh, green or dried, no on preserved or candied fruit. The rate from Los Angeles to New York hasn't been announced but it is said to be practically the same as that from San Francisco. CLAIM CREDIT OF TAX CUT AND BONUS WASHINGTON, May 21.—Republican leaders in congress who have been kept on the political anxious seat for weeks over President Coolidge's threatening gestures with the veto pen, have succeeded in convincing the president that it will be possible to go before the country in the approaching election with both the bonus and lower taxes to the party's credit. They have succeeded, it became known today, in extracting from the White House a tentative understanding that if certain objectionable features are eliminated from the tax bill Mr. Coolidge will approve it, even tho the bill is not to his liking. Heartened by this magic dispersion of party discord, the Republican conferences went back to work today prepared to eliminate from the pending bill those features which are particularly objectionable to the White House and Secretary Mellon—the Norris provision for publicity of returns, the graduated corporation tax, and the heavy inheritance tax which Melon considers as "confiscatory." There is every prospect of an agreement which will allow the compromise; bill to be reported back to both houses next week for passage. The president has been informed by his congressional advisers that unless he accepts the tax bill as it comes from the conference, there is an excellent chance of its being enacted over his veto as was the bonus. TO FOLLOW Predict 472,620,000 Tax Reduction Will Leave $100,000,000 Deficit WASHINGTON, May 21—Complete agreement on the 1924 tax reduction bill and the adjustment of all differences between the house and senate was reached today. The tax bill in final form represents a compromise between the so-called Longworth, (Rep.) plan, and the Simmons (Dem.) rates, and as it stands the Democrats can claim at least 50% authorship of the measure. The conference report was agreed to unanimously by all of the conferences and will be called up first in the senate on Friday. Senator Smoot, Rep. of Utah, chairman of the senate finance committee, said after the agreement that he expected President Coolidge to sign the bill. It would become effective in 30 days after the date of signing by the president. The conferees estimated the new law will effect a total reduction of $472,620,000 annually. The conferees agreed upon the provision making public all sessions and decisions of the federal board of tax appeals. The decisions shall be made public in writing in every case affecting cases of $10,000 or more. This was one of the amendments added to the bill in the senate by the Democratic-insurgent coalition. The coalition scored another victory when the house provision for an indirect tax upon tax exempt securities was stricken out of the bill. This provision was defeated in the senate after being hotly condemned by the progressive group. Senator Simmons, Dem. of No. Car., minority finance leader, claimed a legislative victory when the conference agreement was announced. The Democrats were successful in writing into the final draft their rates on income ranging from two, four and six per cent on smaller incomes up to 40 per cent on huge incomes. The conferees agreed to these in preference to the Longworth rates. The provision providing for publicity of tax returns held obsoious by both President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon—was stricken out of the bill entirely. Instead of this kind of publicity, the bill will Railway Express the new rates apply only to carload express shipments, something unheard of here. Dispatches mention new 100 pound rates. Even if a adjustment on less than carload shipments should be made Anahelmers already enjoy a special rate on fruit, whether fresh, green or dried, the not on preserved or candied fruit. The rate from Los Angeles to New York hasn't been announced but it is said to be practically the same as that from San Francisco there, which is $12 instead of $14.62 per 100 pounds. The special rate from here on fruit is only $5.64, covering New York, Maine, Maryland, etc. WILL PROSECUTE WASHINGTON, May 21.—Atty. Gen. Stone this afternoon assured the Brookhart-Wheeler committee investigating the Daugherty regime in the department of justice that he would take under immediate consideration the institution of criminal proceedings against Howard Mannington and others who have figured in the investigation in connection with alleged illegal acts. PASS NAVAL BILL WASHINGTON, May 21.—The conference report on the naval appropriation bill carrying $275,000,000 and requesting President Coolidge to call another disarmament conference, passed the senate this afternoon. Having previously passed the house the measure now goes to President Coolidge for signature. MOTHER HELD UPON 3RD BOOZE CHARGE The lenient on two previous occasions, the authorities, with patience strained by a third alleged offense, were today holding Mrs. Theda Medina, 34, of Los Alamitos, mother of eight children, in the county jail on a charge of manufacturing liquor. Mrs. Medina, in court late yesterday, waived her preliminary hearing and Justice Jack Landel ordered her held to answer in the superior court. Ball was fixed at $500, which she could not supply. On the two previous appearances of Mrs. Medina, the authorities allowed her to depart unmolested, because of her eight children, it was said. But this time they decided that patience was no longer a virtue, they said. Report Coolidge Will Not Veto Japanese Exclusion WASHINGTON, May 21.—Undaunted by the failures that have thus far met his efforts to postpone the effective date for Japanese exclusion, President Coolidge will make still another attempt to "get around" the exclusion provision, it was indicated at the White House today. It is understood the president has under contemplation retiring the immigration bill to congress with a statement that the exclusion provision conflicts with existing treaties, and that it should be remedied in this respect before he attaches his signature. The president will not veto the bill outright, according to those with whom he has conferred. He rather plans to make one more appeal to congress to soften the draught exclusion provision. Action by the president is expected this week, possibly tomorrow. Smoot said that the bill, while reducting taxes $472,820,000 would create an approximate treasury deficit of $100,000,000 for the calendar year the estimated treasury surplus for that period would not exceed $272,000,000. He said the government fears no harm because this deficit coughes easily be met.
