INSISTS UPON GUN ELEVATION Won't Call Meeting Before European Economic Reconstruction U. S. Cutter Rushes Food to Starving WASHINGTON, May 28—The coast guard cutter Algonquin has been rushed to Nikolai on Unmak Island, Alaska, with provisions and clothing for starving inhabitants there, said a radiogram to the coast guard service here today. About 100 families live in this desolate section of the coast of Alaska. Few ships are able to land there at this season, and so a result inhabitants have had little food or clothing since last March. Their condition was said to be serious. LA FOLLETTE NEW CHURCH PLANNED BY BAPTISTS New Pastor of Calva Heartily Endorses Building Program Meeting last night on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Bartl ELEVATION Won't Call Meeting Before European Economic Reconstruction WASHINGTON, May 29.—Mr. W. H. Award a final vote on the new naval bill designed to place the American navy on an equal footing with those of other world powers, "big navy adventures" in the house set back this afternoon when they failed in their efforts to incorporate the measure a provision to elevate the guns of 13 American battleships. The vote on the amendment taken in the committee of the whole was 74 to 50 against the elevation and increased range. Party lines were split badly and heated debate, in which it was charged the move would violate the arms conference treaty, preceded the vote. WASHINGTON, May 28.—While the house prepared today to approve an expenditure of $200,000,000 to make the U.S. navy equal in every respect to that of Great Britain, President Coolidge signed the 1924-25 naval appropriations bill, carrying a rider providing for a new international conference to limit aircraft, submarines and auxiliary craft. Mr. Coolidge has announced that such a conference will not be called by him until economic re-reconstruction is effected in Europe, but affixing his signature to the bill definitely accepted the invasion of congress to limitation of naval armament. The U.S. government is prepared to insist that the elevation of the guns on American capital ships to increase their firing range does not constitute a violation of the Washington naval treaty. It was learned today following a conference at the White House last night between President Coolidge and congressional naval leaders. Such a position is in conflict with the view of the British government and contrary to the stand taken by the late President Harding, who forced congress to recall and appropriation of $6,500,000 to raise the guns. It was also decided to go ahead in congress with legislation setting aside funds and authorizing the conversion of four American battleships from coal to oil burners, allhoe the British prime minister has declared in the house of commons that these improvements constitute another violation of the treaty. LA FOLLETTE INSISTS ON ATTENTION WASHINGON, May 28—Senator Robt M. LaFollette, of Wisconsin, guiding genius of the insurgent forces that control the 68th congress, served notice today on the leaders of the Republican and Democratic parties that he must be reckoned with in any calculations designed to elect a president of the United States in November. While not amending his candidacy for the presidency, LaFollette charged both parties with failure and declared that unless substantial changes are forthcoming a "long suffering and rightously indignant people will find in the coming campaign effective means, independent of both these old parties, to take back control of their government and make it truly representative." This announcement was interpreted as a clear indication of LaFollette's willingness to head an independent political movement. LaFollette's views on national politics, particularly in connection with the approaching national conventions, were contained in a letter which he wrote from Atlantic City, N.J., where he is convulsing from a recent illness, to Herrman L Ekern, attorney general of Wisconsin. The letter was made public here by his son, Robert M. LaFollette, Jr. In characteristic fashion, LaFollette lashed out at the scandals in Washington and demanded an official "cleanup." At the same time he divorced himself completely from any connection with the communist movement in the United States, declaring that he would have nothing to do with the Farmer-Labor Progressive convention because those who have had charge of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Bartle Rev. Virgil K. Ledbetter, recently elected to the pastorate of Calvary Baptist church, was made familiar with the hope and plans for building a church edifice in the next future. The advisory board, of whom M. E. Simons is chairman, was structured to appoint a committee not less than five to visit different church buildings and draw conclusions as to what will be serve the present purpose of rapidly growing Baptist congregation. This will be done during next ten days and the committee will be asked to report at a board meeting next month. The new pastor is very enthusiastic in the effort and congratated the board upon its determination to get busy at once. The lot was purchased several months ago. Since its organization congregation has met in Odit Powshall but reasons that rent might well be applied to permanent church home. ASSERTS BURNS TOOK REPORT WASHINGTON, May 28.

Schmitt confessed the theft of an ordeal to the police, and did not stop there. He says asso that he killed a man in Colorado 40 years ago, and goes over and over the details of the horrid scene as often as he can get someone to listen to him. He holds out that the man angered him. He drew a revolver from his pocket and shot him down in cold blood. There were no witnesses and he was never punished for it by the law, but as one looks at him, it is realized how much he must have been punished for it by his own conscience, and how now, after 40 years it still grinds him down, till he is apparently unable to get it off his mind day or night. He was picked up last night by "Bob." Strain after he had stolen an overcoat from a car in front of McFarlane Cafe, and sold it to a waiter inside the cafe.

IN HERESY TRIAL Conference to Limit Armament Young Mother Offers Babe of 18 Months to Highest Bidder OAKLAND, May 28.—Jackie Thompson, 18 months old, is on the auction block today. His mother, Mrs. June Thompson, 29, a milliner, wants to sell the boy. The mother, deserted by the child's father, according to her story, says she faces poverty. She believes she cannot rear the boy in the comfort and opportunities she desires for him. If she can get sufficient money thru the sale of her baby, Mrs. Thompson said she would go to Los Angeles and institute divorce proceedings. She believes the sale of the child will help her wipe out her debts. Mrs. Thompson, according to her story, wanted at first to give the boy away, but her mother, Mrs. R. Sutton, demurred. Mrs. Sutton said: "I told her, 'June, if you had a good dog and wanted to get rid of it you'd sell it for money. You ought to get some money for the baby to pay you for all the trouble of giving him birth.'" CYPRESS FOR KEEN STORE 23 EXCERPTS FROM BOOK CITED Fellow Bishops Claim Right to Conduct Hearing CLEVELAND, O., May 28 — CYPRESS FOR RESTRICTED DRILLING It looks like a unanimous vote in Cypress on the proposition to restrict drilling to one well to each sand in each five acres. Not only so, but not only the unsigned, but the signed acreage and other land is confidently expected to co-operate. The trustees began yesterday to circulate the agreement for signature and are meeting with complete success. The larger companies themselves are putting into effect similar regulations at the new Athens field, and will certainly back the same plan in Cypress, it was declared today. Lessons may lease when and to whom they please, but if they do ease they are asked to sign this agreement: "Agreement for the Restriction of Oil Well Drilling: "We, the undersigned, citizens of Orange County, Cal., in order to advance the oil industry in this county and in consideration of our mutual promises herein contained, so hereby promise and agree: That we will lease our land with rights to drill for oil or other hydrocarbon substance on the condition that not more than one well shall be drilled to each sand in each five acres of land, except that it be necessary to protect our interests by drilling offset wells; "And we further promise and agree that we will sustain and support the decisions of the board of trustees appointed at Cypress, Cal., May 19, 1924." These "regulations of 1924 governing the drilling of oil wells in this vicinity" were also part of the matter to be signed: "We hereby ratify the appointment of the board of trustees and authorize and empower such boards" KEEN STORE TRUSTEES ON TRIAL O. C. Hardabeck and Glenn B. Churchill again went on trial in Judge R. Y. Williams' court at Santa Ana today, charged with obtaining money under false pretenses in connection with the sale of stock in Keen Hat stores, one of which was located at Anaheim. A jury in the same court two weeks ago was unable to reach a verdict. Unofficially it was reported they stood seven to five for conviction. Selection of a jury occupied the entire morning session and it was expected to be late in the day before testimony can be taken. The prosecution, so far as could be learned, has no "surprises" to spring instead likely will present similar testimony it previously brought out. At that time the state stressed the evidence intended to show that the two pro-torturers had told investors they each had $5000 invested in the enterprise, which statement, if made, the prosecution hold false. C. N. Mozley, deputy district attorney, was conducting the prosecution, while Morgan Marmaduks of Los Angeles appeared again as defense counsel. WOMAN FAINTS IN COURT ROOM LOS ANGELES, May 28.—Mrs. Margaret Willis collapsed from a heart attack in the courtroom here today at her trial for the trunk murder of Dr. Benjamin B. Baldwin. As Mrs. Willis awayed in her chair and became deadly white, she was picked up and rushed to the judge's chamber, where she lost consciousness. Later she was removed to a hospital where CITED Fellow Bishops Claim Right to Conduct Hearing CLEVELAND, O.. May 28 — The ecclesiastical court of the Protestant Episcopal church moved with workmanlike efficiency today to expel Bishop William Montgomery Brown for heresy because he denies the literalness of the scriptures. Every effort made by Bishop Brown and his counsel to challenge the court's authority, legality and jurisdiction in the matter was promptly and unanimously overruled by the eight bishops constituting the court. In all, five motions by Joseph W. Sharts, chief counsel for the aged bishop, were rejected by the court. Counsel for Bishop Brown dwelt at great length on one of his motions—which asked that the bishop's accusers be made to cite the specific doctrines of the church which Bishop Brown's writings violate. "Counsel for the church can't do it," said Shartz, "for there is no set doctrine. I challenge any of you (pointing to the bishops on the bench) to take this witness chair and state the doctrine of the church. All eight of you could do it and at the end we would have eight different interpretations of the doctrine. "Define the doctrine. Make your church advocate tell us what in the doctrine has been violated. If you do that you will shorten this proceeding. If you do not you will prolong it to the point that neither you nor I will ever live long enough to hear the last echo of this trial." "The bishops sat silent under this speech, and Charles L. Dibble, church advocate merely said the prosecution did not consider it necessary to specifically point out what parts of the doctrines had been violated. After steadily overruling Brown's motions all morning the trial at last got down to the stage of pleading and the accused bishop pleaded "not guilty" to the charge of heresy thru his counsel, just as court adjourned for lunch. The decision of the court headed by Bishop John Gardner Murray, of Maryland, was unanimous. It was concurred in Each five acres of land, except that it may be necessary to protect our interests by drilling offset wells. "And we further promise and agree that we will sustain and support the decisions of the Board of Trustees appointed at Cypress, Cal., May 19, 1924." These "regulations of 1924 governing the drilling of oil wells in this vicinity" were also part of the matter to be signed: "We hereby ratify the appointment of the board of trustees and authorize and empower such boards of trustees to select a field superintendent whose duty it shall be to see that the field is protected under proper water shutoffs, that the drilling clause of one well to each land in each five acres being observed and other matters pertaining to the development of the field from a scientific standpoint." PRETTY WOMAN ASSUMES BLAME After Jack Gaines, realtor, and Benjamin Brubaker, bank teller, both of Orange, had been arraigned before Justice Jack Landel at Santa Ana today on a charge of drilling oil stock without a permit had been held for preliminary hearing July 8 under bail of 1000 each, Miss Molly Mallacke Orange burst into the district attorney's office and assumed all blame for Brubaker. She declared she and Galanes had sold the stock, that each had a broker's permit and were not at fault. It was considered possible that after the district attorney's office had found the woman's assertions correct would release Brubaker. The stock was in Pacific Corp. cell No. 5 at Signal Hill. REALTORS MEET The Anaheim Realty Board today at its weekly luncheon in the Palmia cafeteria didn't mention the matter of resuming arrangements for the industrial conference which was to have been held July 17, the second day of the California Valencia Orange Show. There was no speaker and only a manual business, including the latter of listings, was discussed. Flags in fast color bunting, 3 x 1 inch, gilt spear staff, cents at Weber's Book Store. IN COURT ROOM LOS ANGELES, May 28.—Mrs. Margaret Willis collapsed from a heart attack in the courtroom here today at her trial for the trunk murder of Dr. Benjamin B. Baldwin. As Mrs. Willis swayed in her chair and became deadly white, she was picked up and rushed to the judge's chamber, where she lost consciousness. Later she was removed to a hospital, where heart stimulants were administered. As the woman murder defendant was carried away, her carpenter sweetheart, Bert Webster, who helped her throw the trunk containing the physician's body down a ravine, sprang to her assistance, but balliffs pushed him aside. BULPITT ON TRIAL The hearing of Dr. J. M. Bulpitt of Santa Ana, charged with disturbing the peace and using profane language to an officer, was begun this morning before a jury in the court of William French, justice of the peace, and was still being heard this afternoon. Much time was consumed in the cross-examination of E. R. Rudy, arresting officer, but it was hoped to get the case to the jury this afternoon. This is one of several charges against Bulpitt. Bulpitt's attorney made one of his chief points in the cross-examination that Bulpitt did not direct his profanity to the officer, but was talking about his car.

The court displayed some reluctance at allowing Sharts to argue his motions—all aimed at nullifying the entire proceedings—but at his insistence he and Charles L. Dibble, church advocate, were each allowed 45 minutes. Sharts argued his motions on the basis of common law as practiced in the courts of Ohio. The indictment and charges against Bishop Brown, he said, would not stand up for a minute in a court of equity. "The ordinary criminal is rounded by legal safety," Sharts. "Here we none."
