OLIVER HILL, 71, PIONEER, IS DEAD Oliver Hill, 71, resident of Anaheim for 51 years, passed away Saturday afternoon at the family home, 312 E. Broadway. He was born in Ireland Nov. 30, 1852, and came to Anaheim in 1873. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Amanda Hill, and five brothers, Samuel and Thomas of Anaheim, Joseph in Log Angeles, a brother in Ireland and another in New Zealand. Funeral services will be held at Backs, Terry & Campbell parlors Tuesday at 2 p.m. with Rev. A. G. H. Bode officiating.

CHARGES FORGERY Does the Masonic lodge of Yorba Linda hold title to its home there by virtue of a forged deed? This startling question was the basis of a court contest today before Superior Judge Z. B. West where Mrs. Neillie Balstead's suit to quiet title favor, as against the lodge, was being heard. Today's proceedings hinge upon the validity of a deed conveying the property from Mrs. Balstead to Jackson Mays. The deed under fire was dated June 12, 1923. Mrs. Balstead testified, Mays had forged the deed and had fled the country, after selling the property to the lodge. AGREEMENT STICKS UNTIL ABROGATED WASHINGTON, June 9.—The Japanese government has assured the United States that the "gentlemen's agreement" governing immigration will be observed by Japan until it is formally abrogated by the American exclusion law July 1, it was learned here tonight. THRIFT KEYNOTE OF COOLIDGE CAMPAIGN (Continued from Page One) liam E. Borah sent definite word to Cleveland that under no circumstances would he accept it. And with the effacement of these two favorites they want the farm bloc leader all the more. The Dickinson boom is under the direction of George C. Call of Sioux City, Ia. He told interviewers and delegates today: “If we don't get a progressive on the ticket, a man friendly to agriculture, we all will be Democrats or worse out in the corn belt in November.” Call did not say what he meant by “worse” but his gaze strayed to some members of the Wisconsin delegation who will vote for LaFollette in the convention. “And this goes for the whole northwest,” Call went on. “This is the last opportunity the Republican party has before election to prove it wants to help the northwest. Dickinson is our choice and we will have the support of the northwest.” Dickinson's name is to be presented to the convention by Senator A. B. Cumming of Iowa. Herbert Hoover and General Charles G. Dawes are more to eastern liking, and it is well-known that either is "acceptable" to the White House. Hoover, it was whispered about the lobbyist, is the president's first choice. If the matter ever gets down to a test of strength between east and west, it appeared today a compromise might be found in James W. "Jim" Good of Iowa. For years he was one of the most influential members of the house and for the last six months he has been hard at work in the west as western campaign manager for President Coolidge. In any event a full fledged bomlet was launched in Cleveland today on Good's behalf. The chief talking point of his friends is that he comes from a rural state, Iowa, thus fulfills that condition, and besides he is sufficiently well known "to the Coolidge crowd" to reconcile those elec- Dawes was going to "pull a Loen", effuce himself from the tugge and come out with a put endorsement of Pershing's ex-cit of staff. Harbord is a nat Kansan and his boosters are aiming to it that all grish belters unite aware of this fact. LOWDEN'S REFUSAL FINAL OVFORD, O., June 9.—"A statement made last night is fine and conclusive," said Frank Lowden, former governor of Iowa, here this afternoon, referred to repeated efforts to "draft" him as a Republican vice president candidate, despite his refusal to give up his present work. It was reported that a delegate from Washington and Clarod composed of prominent Republicans, was enroute here to indulge him to reconsider. "I have not been advised of coming of a delegation and there is one; it will do no good I will not accept the nomination he said." URGE LOWDEN RECONSIDE CLEVELAND, June 9.—eleventh hour attempt to hear Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois, to reconsider decision not to become a vice president identical candidate was made morning. Telegrams were sent to Lowden urging him to allow his name be placed on the ticket. He feel confident the former governor will favorably listen to the pleads.

The third wave completely wrecked the vessel. The second wave turned the boat side down. Everything happened so forged the deed and had fled the country, after selling the property to the lodge. AGREEMENT STICKS UNTIL ABROGATED WASHINGTON, June 9.—The Japanese government has assured the United States that the "gentlemen's agreement" governing immigration will be observed by Japan until it is formally abrogated by the American exclusion law July 1, it was learned here tonight. Japanese who are trying to get to the United States before that date are doing so without the assistance of the government, according to the Japanese embassy. DEATH IN TORNADO INDIANAPOLIS, June 5.—Edward H. Hilbert, 21, was dead today as a result of a tornado which did damage estimated at a million dollars in northwestern Indiana Sunday. Reports today brought news of destruction of many farm buildings, but small casualty lists. Hilbert attempted to remove a charged wire from his auto and was electrocuted. Many small streams are reported to be near flood stage. "Jim" Good of Iowa. For years he was one of the most influential members of the house and for the last six months he has been hard at work in the west as western campaign manager for President Coolidge. In any event a full fledged boomlet was launched in Cleveland today on Good's behalf. The chief talking point of his friends is that he comes from a rural state, Iowa, thus fulfills that condition, and besides he is sufficiently well known "to the Coolidge crowd" to reconcile those elements opposed to a pronouncement western progressive. In the background of all the talk, the little known figure of Dr. Marlon Leroy Burton, president of the University of Michigan, remained today the most consistently touted dark horse in the convention stade. Major General James G. Harbord was another who loomed with considerable potential strength. Despite the snorts of the westerners that "the farmers don't know him." Harbord, like other candidates, appeared to be failing heir to a part of Lowden strength. The Harbord talk was lent further color by reports current around headquarters that General STOP LOOK and LISTEN $35,000 Stock Creditor's S $35,000 Stock Creditor's S Sale Starts T CONTINUES DAILY WATCHES, CLOCKS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUY FOR THE JU Valuable Prizes FREE GET YOUR TICKET 115 East Center Street THE PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIF. was going at "pull a Lowdface himself from the pieand come out with a public come out with a public and his boosters are seeit that all grain bolters are ware of this fact.

Nearing the end of the jetty I saw big waves ahead. I felt somehow, that there was danger. Other members of the party had been out fishing before and I thought they would be familiar with conditions and know if the sea was unusually rough. I didn't want to appear in the light of a guitor and I said nothing—but I thought at the time that we would be wise to call off the trip and return to the wharf. I don't know whether it was the third or fourth swell that wrecked the boat. When I was thrown into the water I was wearing an overcoat. I am a good swimmer. I discarded my overcoat and my undercoat. A cork belt floated by and I grabbed it." NEW TAX LAW WILL SAVE MILLIONS HERE (Continued from Page One) an actual tax rate of 1 1-2 per cent. Surtaxes range from 1 per cent on $10,000 incomes up to 40 per cent on incomes of $10,000,000 or more. Taxes repealed: Tax on admissions of 50 cents or less to the剧院 and other places of amusement. Effective 30 days after signing of bill. Tax on all jewelry sold under $30 and on watches of a value of $60 or less. Operative in 30 days. Tax on telephone and telegraph messages. Effective in 30 days. Tax on pool and billiard tables where no charge is made for playing. Thirty days. Special tax on seating capacity of the剧院, museums, concert halls and public exhibitions. Thirty days. Stamp tax on promissory notes and time drafts. Thirty days. Manufacturers' tax on candy, yachts and pleasure boats, hunting knives, daggers, livery boots tax regulations remained practically unchanged. "As evidence of the stability of business conditions in So. Calif. I will point out just one fact," Collector Goodell stated. "The Revenue Act of 1921 resulted in a tax reduction of $15,-000,000 annually in So. Calif. In the face of this immense reduction the collections of this office for the last calendar year were the greatest in its history. Business expansion, new industries and all-around prosperity not only offset the $15,000,000 annual reduction but rolled up a substantial increase in the amount of taxes collected. Taking into account the new annual reduction of $11,000,000 federal taxes in this district will have been reduced $71,000,000 for the four-year period ending with 1925. If the community property decision is made effective $42,000,000 in refunds will be distributed which would give So. Calif. the benefit of $113,-000,000 in federal refunds and tax reductions covering a period of four years." COOLIDGE SILENT ON VICE PRESIDENCY (Continued from Page One) only scheduled engagement on Mr. Coolidge's calendar. The Coolidge-Lorah conference led to reports that the president was prevailing upon the senator to accept the Republican vice-presidential non-mation, despite his previous refusal to have his name entered.
