PRESIDENT OPPO Cypress Poultry Rancher Series ALARM BELL AROUSES OWNER Discharges Gun Loaded With Double BB Shot At Intruder M. C. Chase, a poultry rancher living just east of Cypress P. E. crossing on Lincoln-bvd was awakened shortly before 1 a.m. to Groom 72, Bride 69, Enjoy Honeymoon SANTA ROSA, May 22—Dr. Edwin McIntyre, 72, and his bride, who was Miss Mary Wightman, 69, were on their honeymoon today. Dr. McIntyre, prominent in Chicago and Richmond, surgeon, came to California on a vacation trip. He came to Santa Rosa to visit Dr. S. S. Smith and at a dinner in his honor met Miss Wightman. It was love at first sight. Dr. McIntyre went east and disposed of his property there, returned here, purchased a home and last night the couple were wed by Rev. W. S. Short.

C. Chase, a poultry rancher living just east of Cypress P. E., crossing on Lincoln-blvd was awakened shortly before 1 a.m. today by the ringing of a burglar alarm which connects with his poultry house. Mr. Chase hurriedly dressed, slipped out and crept along a dividing fence at the east of his property. When without about 25 yards of his east chickens house he saw a man in the act of entering. Mr. Chase was armed with a shotgun loaded with double BB shot. When the intruder came within the line of vision Mr. Chase shot at the hips. The man cried out with agony but ran. He had cut the wire fence at the north side of the lot and made his escape through this opening. Mr. Chase with J. C. Lamblin, a neighbor, searched about the yards as best they could in the darkness. The sheriff's office was called and deputy McClellan responded. Daylight proved that a second man had been stationed just east of the chicken house and that he had assisted the shot man across the flue, Miller place, a distance of a quarter of a mile. The intruder man had fallen three times during the distance and must have been badly hit. The pair crossed Miller at, and the Fuquay place. The deep single track proved that the wounded man was being carried. Twice he was placed on the ground and evidently could not stand as the prints of his clothing was plainly seen on the ground. There is a young orange grove just east of the Fuquay place and the men took refuge in this til a third party picked them up in an auto. It is thought this is the same gang that has been operating in this section for some months. Ten guany sacks were left behind so they must have had a light truck for a conveyance. The man was described as being tall and slender. His utterty was that of a foreigner. The alarm system had just been installed and is the invention of C. L. Norland. It is the system of fine wires connecting with spring traps on the doors that when sprung will ring the alarm. If the wires are cut or molested in any way the alarm will also ring. The intruder had cut the wires. If the woundee man applies for medical aid he will find a wound. 10,000 GREET U.S.FLIERS TO TOKIO TOKIO, May 22.—Ten thousand Japanese joined with assembled French, British and American representatives of the foreign colony in a great cheer as planes, 2, 3 and 4 of the American round-the-world air fleet circled over Kasumigura Lake at 5:40 this afternoon and landed in the order named. General Yasumitsu and Commander of the Japanese aviation committees were the first to grasp the hands of Lieutenants Lowell Smith, Leigh Wade and Erik Nelson, piloting the three big Douglas air cruisers. "This is an epochal event," General Komatsu told them. "It was not believed possible by the masses of this country." The planes and their crews were in fine shape upon arrival at Kasumigura. However, the motors and wings of the planes will be carefully overhauled in preparation for resumption of the flight Monday when the filers plan to jump to Kushimoto. The aviators will visit Tokio Friday and be guests at an aviation banquet tendered them by Japanese at Kasumigura Friday night. Saturday a naval reception will be tendered them. "Our only desire now is press on," said Lleut. Nelson, an interview with International News Service. "That is our oath now. Major Martin's turn to America is our only greet. We have come thru a difficult part of the trip unarmed." "We encountered conditions our trip from the United States similar to those that would met with by an serial polar pedition. We passed thru straits and saw unusual people. We cannot stop in Japan as long as we would like to, and we must" Governm't Permit Makes No Difference Under City Ordinance To the tune of "there's likely to be a hot time in the old town soon," Judge French today threw down the gauntlet to the attorney of Al Torf, charged with the possession and transportation of liquor, and told him in effect to do his worst. Torf was arrested recently with 15 cases of wine in his possession, marked to contain 20 per cent alcohol, which he claimed to have a government permit to transport, and which he said was to be used for sacramental purposes. Waldo Wilson, Los Angeles attorney and L. M. Raab, trustee of a Jewish congregation in Los Angeles, appeared before Judge French yesterday on the behalf of Torf, entering a plea of guilty for him. Raab is said to have had the wine in his possession, but was not with Torf when the officers caught him. Judge French fined Torf $300, or 300 days if jail, the bail going to the fine, and ordered the wine confiscated. Torf's attorney appeared before Judge today, and said he would swear out an affidavit that Torf never gave Raab and Wilson the authority to enter a plea of guilt for him, and requested that the court not destroy the wine, since Torf wants it back again. Judge French told him he never got it, and informed him that government permit or no government permit, he could not transport liquor inside Fulletton, and that moreover the county would be likely to have a case against him for transporting it within the county. Proceedings in the contest were expected to start afternoon. $80,000 LEFT BY MRS. SARAH FAY The $80,060 estate left by the late Sarah J.

French and British military office (Continued on Page Two) Provide U. S. Operation of Railroads During Strikes WASHINGTON, Ma 22.—A provision for federal operation of any railroad in time of strikes was written into the Howell-Barkley bill today by a special senate sub-committee which indorsed the amended bill to the Senate Interstate commerce committee. The anti-strike provision would give the president power to demand a federal receivership, and the nearest federal judge authority to appoint a receiver if the strike or lockout threatened to stop internal commerce upon any railroad. The bill also provided five successive steps for the peaceful setlement of railroad disputes including arbitration before federal boards created by the president. Altho submission of disputes was not made compulsory, except by the threat of federal receivership, the verdicts of the federal boards would be made binding — when disputes were submitted to them—by being filed in the nearest federal court. Refusal of any railroad to comply with such a verdict would liable the carrier to a damage suit by the government while the employee would be subject to contempt of court charges.

D. ROOSEVELT “WET” AL SMITH EXCITED OVER PLACER CLAIMS Fay Washburn, of Anaheim, and Roland B. Ingram, of Hawaiian Gardens, are excited over placeer prospects in eight claims of 20 acres each they own in Little Horse Thief Canyon in San Bernardino mountains. Ingram has been interested in the property eight years but only recently was attention directed to some ancient channels, long overlooked. Miners have worked the streams for years but profits were small because of so much black sand. Los Angeles and San Francisco mining companies have interested themselves in the project and are ready to install large hydraulic outfits. Placer mining will yield from $1 to $20 per ton, and it is proposed to handle 500 tons per day. Engineers declare it to be the largest placer deposit in So. Cal. Small equipment now being used is proving profitable. Ingram, just back from the claims, displays a bottle of gold flakes worth $5 or $6 which he worked out with a shovel in five hours. Besides the placee gold there is also titanium and platinum in paying quantities.

The lawyer, whose identity has been concealed, is said to be in northern California. His arrest is expected tonight. LOS ANGELES, May 22 — Swiftly drawing the net around the men who dynamited the city's aqueduct near Lone Pine, authorities today were hunting for more than a score of then against whom there is strong evidence, according to officials of the bureau of light and power. These men, said to be residents of Owens Valley country, must furnish a complete alibi, authorities said, because they are declared to have made threats to destroy the city water supply. If the men sought cannot prove they were not in the vicinity of Lone Pine at the time of the dynamiting Wednesday, they will be arrested, it was asserted. Authorities positively confirmed today that there were ten or eleven auto loads of men in the dynamiting party. Descriptions of the cars are now in the hands of the score of investigators. Officials said today the acqueduct was not badly damaged and immediate repairs will be necessary. LOS ANGELES, May 22 — While authorities today sought to determine who made yesterday's fruitless attempt to dynamite the Los Angeles Aqueduct, three miles north of Lone Pine, the dynamiting still remained as much a mystery today as ever. The only clue uncovered was the finding near the scene of the blast of a love note, written on the back of a program of a Bishop, Calif. theater, believed to have been dropped by one of the dynamitors. That a group of radicals were responsible for the crime was a theory advanced by some city officials while others contended Owens Valley residents, indignant because of the acquiring of water rights by Los Angeles, had done the blasting.

Secretary of Treasury Will Confer Tonight With Coolidge WASHINGTON, May 22 — President Coolidge is not entirely pleased with the tax reduction bill, as agreed to by the senate and house conferences it was learned at the White House this afternoon. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon was to confer with the president this evening to recommend that the bill either be rejected or that another effort be made to get congress to alter some of the provisions of the measure before it is finally passed. The confidence that President Coolidge will sign the tax bill was shaken somewhat today when it became known that Secretary Mellon may recommend a veto. The compromise bill, it was announced at the treasury department, is "very unsatisfactory" to Secretary Mellon. He regards it as "unscientific" and utterly destructive of the carefully arranged program he prepared six months ago. Whether, however, the president would care to risk further friction with congress by vetting the bill—with the almost certainty that it would be passed over his veto—was regarded as extremely problematical.
