Press Pleased With Fall; Prophesies Stronger Foreign Policy
(By Duke N. Parry)
(I. N. S. Staff Correspondent)
TOKIO, June 7.—Prince regent Hirohito late today received the resignation of the Japanese cabinet when Premier Kiyoura called upon him at Akasaka Palace and presented the resignation which had been determined upon at a long-cabinet session earlier in the day.
The prince regent immediately considered calling upon Viscount Kato to form a new cabinet but asked Premier Kiyoura to hold over temporarily altho acceptance of the resignation is expected to follow a conference of the regent with his advisers, Prince Saionji and Count Hirata.
After presenting the resignation, Premier Kiyoura returned to the cabinet council which continued in session this evening.
Newspapers heralded the fall of the cabinet in extras and praised the long-awaited event, propheying a stronger foreign policy and "a more truly representative government."
Viscount Kato was premier at the outbreak of the war and is a strong nationalist. He is remembered internationally principally because of the 21 demands made upon China while he was premier. He is expected to interest himself mostly in affairs purely Japanese.
Kato's son-in-law, Baron Shidhara, former Japanese envoy to Washington and widely known in the United States, is expected to enter the government under the new regime either holding the portfolio of foreign minister or returning to Washington as ambassador to replace Masanno Hanihara.
The Kato cabinet is expected to be a coalition ministry and while it is expected to last longer than the two brief ministries which have preceded it, its permanency is not assured because of the rapidly changing public political sentiment in Japan.
Two main causes contributed to the retirement of the Kiyoura government:
1. Defeat of the political group supporting Premier Kiyoura in the general election May 10.
2. Enactment of the Japanese exclusion law by the United States and abrogation of the "gen-
It is expected to last longer than the two brief ministries which have preceded it, its permanency is not assured because of the rapidly changing public political sentiment in Japan.
Two main causes contributed to the retirement of the Kiyoura government:
1. Defeat of the political group supporting Premier Kiyoura in the general election May 10.
2. Execution of the Japanese exclusion law by the United States and abrogation of the "gentlemen's agreement" between Japan and America.
Opposition to the government had bitterly criticized it for the conciliatory course which it had followed since the United States congress enacted the law to exclude Japanese from that country.
While retirement of the government had been anticipated, the actual act of resignation came suddenly. It had been exposed that the Kiyoura cabinet would remain in power over the week-end.
There was a common agreement among the leaders that the cabinet should remain in power until after the conclusion of the official celebration of the marriage of the prince regent Hirohito. This came to an end Friday.
WASHINGTON, June 7.—Resignation of the Japanese cabinet may cause some delay in the forwarding of the American reply to the Japanese immigration protest, it was stated at the state department today.
The text of the note has been completed by Secretary Hughes he planned to confer with anon Hanihara, the Japaneseassador, before tendering it for transmission to Tokio.

TOKIO, June 7.—In the most sensational anti-American demonstration in Japan since the passage by the United States congress of the immigration exclusion law, 50 young men, believed by police to have been students, broke up a fashionable dance at the Imperial Hotel tonight attended by 500 persons.
Carrying huge placards and displaying swords, the young men strode into the dance hall as the dancers were awaiting the first dance after dinner.
"Dance you Americans while we national politics have ever witnessed."
"The Klan in Washington, D.C. has 2000 members, everyone of whom must be a government official to belong. The late President Harding was a Klansman. We get so close to the president's chair that we scratch the varnish.
The speaker declared the phenomenal growth of the Klan was in spite of the most extreme efforts at misrepresentation, including the placing of every charge in the calendar against it.
"It doesn't sound reasonable that an organization numbering 30,000 ministers in its membership is going around with tarbuckest and feathers, six-shooters and ropes. Law and order is a cardinal principle of the Klan. We use ballots, not bullets. It is with a great deal of pride we point to the fact that in Texas, which has more Klansmen than any other state, there was not a single lynching in the last 12 months. And Texas, you know, has long been noted as the state where, if the part of a man's hair was not pleasing, homicide followed.
Referring to the Mer Rouge affair in which two headless bodies were taken from a lake, where it was declared they had rested for nine weeks, the speaker declared it was a well known fact that in Mer Rouge and any other lake of the vicinity there were enough crocodiles to eat a beef in half an hour. The bodies were declared to be those of two of our missing friends from the opposition, yet the American Legion, of which (Continued on Page 4)

CHARGE
Santa Ana Girl Discovers Husband of Month Had Another Wife
An asserted bigamist who attempted to maintain two households, it was said, and keep his two wives in ignorance of each other's existence, was the unique role charged by the authorities today to George L. Gorman, 24, who is under arrest at Phoenix, Ariz., with a bigamy charge awaiting his return to Santa Ana.
Less than a month ago, Gorman was married in this city to Miss Helen Kellogg, 25, daughter of Mrs. Helen Kellogg, widow of the late H. Clay Kellogg, prominent engineer. With the filing of the criminal charge last night, the existence of a former wife was disclosed. She was formerly Leona Bishop, daughter of Mrs. Rachel Bishop, 2045 Claudina-st. Los Angeles, the widow of a wealthy Arizona cattleman.
According to local authorities, neither woman knew of the other's existence until Gorman's recent departure to Arizona led to an investigation and startling disclosures. The investigation was made by wife No. 1, the Los Angeles girl.
The first wife first complained to Los Angeles authorities and was said to have told them that she learned of the Santa Ana girl when her husband left for Arizona, but understood from him that he had not married the local girl. Gorman told her, she was quoted as saying, that he had had merely "an affair" with the local girl, had been "discovered" and forced to leave the state.
The asserted first marriage took place in Ventura, July 17, 1922, according to information given Orange-co. authorities. Local records show that the second marriage occurred May 13 of this year.

Heart Discovered in Earthen Crock Puzzle to Physicians
SACRAMENTO, June 7—Four physicians had been unable to determine at a late hour today whether a heart found in an earth en crock on a street in the business section here this morning was that of a human being or an animal.
Two nails had been driven thru the heart and it apparently had been boiled after having been placed in the jar.
The crock was sealed with wax and paste. In paste, crudely imprinted was the letter "D".
The jar, when it was discov. ered by Herbert Cronan, truck driver, was wrapped in heavy sacking and heavy suit of men's underwear. The underclothing was fastened together with innumerable pins, at least 200 having been stuck into it at all angles.
The fact that the heart had been boiled made work of physicians who examined it in an effort to determine whether it belonged to a human, difficult. Dr. Harry Hall, city health officer, stated that physicians agreed that it might be a human heart, but if so it had been taken from a child.

COOLIDGE VETOES P. O. PAY BILL
WASHINGTON, June 1—(IND) President Coolidge today vetoed the postal pay bill, providing increases in the salaries of all postal employees.
The president's veto message was sent to the senate, which received it at 12 o'clock.
The president wrote a lengthy message to congress explaining the veto.
The fact that the legislation would have added $75,000,000 a year to the expenses of the postal department, caused Mr. Coolidge to refuse to approve it.
There was no provision in the bill for raising this money, altho it carried authorization for pay increases of $300 a year for post-office and railway mail clerks, carriers, supervisors, inspectors and assistant postmasters.
The president could have let the bill die by simply keeping it at the white house until congress adjourned tonight, thus exercising a "pocket veto," but by vetting it this morning he gave congress a sporting chance to pass it over the veto this afternoon.
It is expected that an effort in this direction will be made.
The bill carried as a rider an amendment to the corrupt elections act, which limited the amount of money which candidates for the senate or house could spend in their campaign.
The president announced he been stuck into it at all angles.
The fact that the heart had been boiled made work of physicians who examined it in an effort to determine whether it belonged to a human, difficult. Dr. Harry Hall, city health officer, stated that physicians agreed that it might be a human heart, but if so it had been taken from a child.

Average Returns For All Grades Far Ahead of Same Time Last Year
Northern Orange county shipped 430 cars of citrus fruit this week, nearly every section showing larger shipments than last week. The aggregate given comprises Olive and Placentia, Yorba Linda, Fullerton, including the Bastanchary ranch and C. C. Chapman, La Habra, Anaheim and West Anaheim.
The Anaheim district shipped 138 cars practically all valencias. Thirty-five cars of lemons were shipped from the district.
The last ten days have been marked by two advances of 25 cents each on all sizes, while 252s one of the smallest sizes, have enjoyed three advances.
Cantaloupes haven't offered any opposition as yet, nor in fact hardly any other fruit, according to W. H. Schureman, manager of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit Assn.
Estimating the shipments of the last three days, including today, at 200 cars daily, which is practically the average, 2,625 cars or thereabouts have been sent out by the Imperial valley.
The North-co. Fruit Growers Exchange says today:
"The demand for Valencias has continued to increase and on Monday quotations were advanced 25c per box on all sizes and grades. Prices realized in the auctions on Tuesday and Wednesday were considerably higher than our prices to private sale markets and on Wednesday evening we again advanced prices 50c a box on 250 size and 25k on all other sizes. This puts our delivered quotations on the basis of $5.75 for 150s and larger; $5.25 for 176s; $5 for 200s; $4.75 for 216s; $4.50 for 250s; $4 for 288s and $3.75 for 324s, delivered and Sankist; 50c less on choice and 75s on standards. On cars going to the private sale markets containing fancy grade we are able to get 50c premium for the fancy."
"The estimate as of June 1 showed a reduction of 1115 cars of valencias in the Exchange, or about 7pet. This leaves the Exchange 4388 cars of 400 boxes each still to go."
"On Wednesday two carloads, one of Mother Colony and one of Delicia, Anaheim brands, brot $6.50 for 126s of the fancy grade down to $4.25 for 324s."
"Even with the sizes running..."

Pepper's feat was considered all the more remarkable because it was on a slow track.
HOUSE TO ACCEPT NEW RELIEF BILL
WASHINGTON, June 6.—A new reclamation relief bill, already passed by the senate, will be accepted by the house and written into law before adjournment. Senator Gooding, Rep. of Idaho, its author, announced this afternoon.
The measure would declare a moratorium for three years wherever agriculture distress existed.
Senate Makes Drastic Move To Bar Campaign Fund Abuse
WASHINGTON, June 7.—In a spectacular move to eliminate corruption from the coming presidential election, the senate this afternoon passed a resolution creating a special investigating committee for the investigation of funds spent in the coming campaign.
The authority of the investigators will be even greater than that held in 1920 by the Kenyon committee which revealed evidence of illegal expenditures in the Republican primary fight.
The resolution was sponsored by Senator LaFollette, Rep. of Wise., insurgent leader, and supported by the Democratic insurgent coalition.
The committee making the investigation will be dominated by the insurgent-Democratic coalition.
The five members named were Senator Borah, Rep. of Idaho; Jones, Rep. of Washington; Shiptead, Farmer-Laborite of Minn., Caraway, Dem. of Ark. and Bayard, Dem. of Delaware.
GET $10,000 LIQUOR
LOS ANGELES, June 7.—More than $10,000 worth of liquor, including several cases of champagne, was seized here today by police.
The liquor was intended for Hollywood, police said, and had been unloaded from a South American vessel.
Charles Swinchart was the name given the officers by the driver of the truck carrying the booze cargo.
