EXPECT GERMANY BULLET HOLE DISCOVERED IN WALL Detectives Make Careful Examination of Mrs. Mors' Apartment LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.—Discovery of a furrow plowed by a bullet in the wall of the apartment where Mrs. Teresa Mors, who "Kid McCoy" is accused of having murdered, was found dead, today furnished investigators with the U.S. Trade Balance Favorable for 1924 WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—Imports of $278,400,000 to the United States in July exceeded exports by $400,000, the department of commerce announced today.

FLIERS PLAN TO START COOLIDGE TAKE RESISTANCE IN VERMONT Having Formally Taken Up Party Standard Plans Vacation (By George E. Durno) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. President Coolidge left Washington shortly after two o'clock afternoon for Plymouth, where he will spend a ten day vacation at the beach. Detectives Make Careful Examination of Mrs. Mors' Apartment LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.—Discovery of a furrow plowed by a bullet in the wall of the apartment where Mrs. Teresa Mors, who "Kid McCoy" is accused of having murdered, was found dead, today furnished investigators with the first tangible evidence on which to reconstruct the circumstances of Mrs. Mors' death. The furrow was found by detectives who made a painstaking examination of the apartment. On the door between the tiny kitchen and the living room, where Mrs. Mors' body was found, the officers discovered a crease in the wood about four inches in length and ranging downway. It had all the appearances of a bullet mark and a .32 caliber bullet, the same as caused the death of Mrs. Mors, fitted in perfectly. Taking a position in the kitchen Detective Edward King pointed a revolver so that the course of an imaginary bullet fired from the gun would pass along the furrow in the wall. Extending the imaginary course of the bullet the officers found that it struck the lounge on which Mrs. Morse was lying when she was killed, as indicated by bloodstains. With these facts in hand, the officers decided that McCoy shot Mrs. Mors from the kitchen while she was lying on the lounge; her head buried in the cushions, probably weeping as the result of her quarrel with the former pugilist. The discovery of the bullet furrow was the outstanding development in the investigation today, overshadowing even the coroner's inquiry over Mrs. Mors' body, because the investigators said, it struck a severe blow at McCoy's story that Mrs. Mors committed suicide. Albert J. Mors, divorced husband of the dead woman, was called upon to view the bullet-plored body of his former wife at the coroner's inquiry this afternoon. Assistant captain of detectives Herman Clither notified Mrs. he would be required to identify the body at the inquest. McCoy was not present at the inquest because of the seal of silence placed on his lips by his lawyers who instructed him to refuse to testify, which is his constitutional privilege. Mrs. Mors' safety deposit box in a Hollywood bank was opened this afternoon and found to be empty. There was not a trace of the $30,000 worth of sinugged jewels which federal agents sought.

FEAR KID McCOY MAY TRY SUICIDE LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15.—Fearful that in view of partling new developments in the case, he may attempt suicide the authorities today ordered a heavy guard placed over Norman Selby, better known as "Kid McCoy," in the city jail where he is held accused of the murder of his sweetheart, Mrs. Teresa Mors. District Attorney Asa Keyes ordered that two special guards be placed outside the col off McCoy and these be maintained both day and night. Keyes' action was said to be based in part on the fact that Hubert Kittle, daredevil inviator and bandit, friend of McCoy, killed himself here three months ago rather than being alleged participant. Officer investigating McCoy's case and others who have talked to him have been impressed by his dejected appearance and his dependent attitude. Albert Mois, husband of the dead woman, and accused by her a week before her death of burglaring the antique shop, which the pair had reducted, after he obtained a decree of divorce, was scheduled to appear today to enter a plea in justice court to burglary charges.

He will be accompanied only by Coolidge, their son John and second Slemp, the presidential tary. Cares of office have been aside for the vacation period.

Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb, are not diseased, and whatever abnormalities their glands contain are comparatively trivial and are unrelated to their brains—this was the daily grist of medico-legal evidence ground out in Judge Caverly's court today by a gland specialist and a brain specialist. Dr. Rollin T. Woodyatt, an endocrinologist and gland expert, knocked a good many props out of the defense's theory that the glands of the two slayers promoted the murder of Bobbie Franks, by asserting that knowledge of the gland system has not progressed far enough to enable himself or any other specialist to say what relations the glands have to the brains. That was this morning. This afternoon, Dr. Harold S. Stuger, third of the state's quar- tette of alienists denied that in his opinion neither Loeb or Leopold are mentally diseased. "The whole glandular system," Dr. Woodyatt said, "might well be compared to the interior of Africa before Stanley got there." Notwithstanding that he qualified as an expert, he stuck to that assertion thru two hours of direct and sarcastic cross examination. In vain did the defense lawyers on cross examination seek to get Dr Woodyatt to define the pineal and adrenal glands, and their relation to the conduct of an individual. "I don't know," said Dr. Woodyatt, in reply to every such question. He never cracked a smile as he said it, and always he followed it up by the observation that no one else did. He had examined thousands of glands, studied them abroad and at home for a score of years, but they are still a mystery to him, he said, and to all others. When court recessed at noon the unsmiling gland expert was still on the stand. Swing Says Project Not Only Desirable But Necessity Now Action toward the Boulder Dam project may be expected "in the opening days of Congress." Congressman Phil D. Swing told an interested audience of Lions and their guests today at the Elks club. The occasion was the weekly luncheon of the local den. Swing was introduced by J. C. Wallace, Santa Ana-Lion and well known realtor, who was also presented by President Cliff Lamb. The status of the project, Swing ceilared, had changed from one that is "desirable" to a "necessity." The sooner also the initial steps are taken the better, he indicated; because of "the intricacy of law making." The bill authorizing the project first had to be passed, and then another bill passed appropriating the money. Hardly a national magazine has failed to discuss the project in one way or another, according to Swing, and organizations including the National Real Estate Assn., the General Federation of Women's clubs, the American Federation of Labor, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the Spanish War Veterans and the American Legion have endorsed it. The farmers of the Imperial valley have been the principal backers of it; and $100,000,000 worth of farm improvements hinge on the control of the Colorado river which she would bring about, said Swing. The primary step in attacking the problem was the Kinecal bill, which authorized an intensive study of the lower Colorado river. An appropriation was put at the disposal of the Reclamation Service. Burlings and a careful survey were made. Among the suggestions made by U.S. engineers were for a high line canal, with Boulder Dam as the site of the dam; the setting inside of 200,000 bury acres for World War veterans; and the objects sought—flood control, agricultural benefit and power generation, in the order named. The Department of the Interior now is tackling the general plan of a Colorado river dam. President Harding's speech in favor of the Boulder Dam which he wrote but never delivered, is embodied in "Lost Speeches of President Harding," said Swing. The Boulder Dam project is the only one embodied in the present Republican platform—that is, equipped by name. Engineers who reported at the bearings on the bill in Congress were almost unanimously in favor of the Boulder Dam as the proper principal cities a stirring fountains, preferably lakes stores.

The Boulder Dam project is the only one embodied in the present Republican platform—that is, specified by name. Engineers who reported at the bearings on the bill in Congress were almost unanimously in favor of the Boulder Dam as the proper site. Swing declared himself for the Colorado River Compact, which all of the states concerned except Arizona have signed. This compact pledges 7,500,000 acre feet of water to the states affected by the dam previous to the withdrawal of water for the Imperial valley. If the compact is not approved, its substance will be written into the coming bill in Congress, Swing asserted. The Government spent $116,000,000 on Mississippi river levas in 12 years.

Bruns, well known rancher formerly of Anaheim, who with his sons owns several ranches between Anaheim and Placentia, will leave next month for Missouri where he will lay plans to open in some of the principal cities a string of drink fountains, preferably in chain stores. The juice will be sold directly to consumers, extractors of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange being used on small size oranges. At the same time Bruns will arrange to sell his larger sized fruit directly to the household buyer. One of his sous will accompany Bruns on the trip of investigation, which will be undertaken chiefly to select the cities which are preferable for the launching of the venture. Detroit, whose name was with held by Bruns, plans to start a similar outlet for his fruit, probably in Detroit, near the Ford factory. The exchange is declared to be entire yin accord with Bruns' plan to use the extractors to market his small fruit. St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joe are among the cities being considered by Bruns, who said he had 26-28 carloads of oranges of his own to market. Any of the big cities offers an excellent opportunity, Bruns believes. The best oranges will be sold directly. One of the largest chain store organizations now has 129 extractors and fountains busy, and they are said by Bruns to be the most lucrative features, in proportion to space used, of any in LAST MINUTE HITCH ONLY OBSTACLE Conciliatory Reply drawn Up for Presentation to Allied Powers BERLIN, Aug. 15.—It was learned from excellent authority this afternoon the German delegates at London are almost corroborated. LOCAL PLANT WILL BEAT EDISON With the belief, after weeks of investigation, that Anaheim can make its own electrical energy at least as cheaply as it can be bought from the Edison Co., city council last night unnobiously adopted a resolution to call an election, at which voters will be asked to approve an issue of $240,000 for municipal light and power plant. The $240,000 will cover the entire cost of a 2000 K.W. plant; may be the cost will not reach that figure. At any rate, no more bonds will be sold than necessary and none until contracts are let. The bond election will not provide a joint plant with Fullerton. If that is not desirable later, voters will be given an opportunity to express their desires in the matter by the same two-thirds majority at special enabling election. "Aside from the fact that we will certain a municipal plant will prove an economy over our present rate with the Edison company," says Mayor Metcalf, there are two other very important reasons for the plant: Anaheim's source of supply will be in its own hands, avoid power and light famines as that being experienced at present; we have learned from experience that an long as the laws the railroad commission powers as it enjoys now, the city cannot make a contract market his small fruit. St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joe are among the cities being considered by Bruns, who said he had 26-28 carloads of oranges of his own to market. Any of the big cities offers an excellent opportunity, Bruns believes. The best oranges will be sold directly. One of the largest chain store organizations now has 129 extractors and fountains busy, and they are said by Bruns to be the most lucrative features, in proportion to space used, of any in the store. The first fountain was opened in a New York store. CITY PLANS NEW PAVING PROGRAM City council last night was presented with two largely signed petitions for improvements. One petition asks for paving the full width of Lemon-st from North to LaPalma-st. The other asked for sidewalks on the northside of Sycamore-st from Olive to Orange-st. Both were referred to the public improvement committee with understanding the paving be held up until the council completes a comprehensive program hinging on the laying of water mains. Mayor Metcalf announced appointment of the following committee to represent the city Defense Test Day, as requested by the government: Ray Smith, Arnold Enori, J. Hebson, H. D. McFarland, G. W.

Price also urged the importance of city planning. The matter was referred to the market his small fruit. Conciliatory Reply drawn Up for Presentation to Allied Powers BERLIN, Aug. 15.-It was learned from excellent authority this afternoon the German delegates at London are almost certain to sign the French terms for Ruhr evacuation, unless there is an eleventh hour hitch. Another cabinet council was held, and it was still in session at 2 o'clock. It was regarded as unlikely that a unanimous decision could be reached or that even a majority could be lined up. President Ebert, it was learned told the ministerial council that Germany's rejection of the London terms would mean the overflow of Premier Herriot which would be disastrous for Germany. CONCILIATORY REPLY TO FRENCH PROPOSALS LONDON, Aug. 15.-A conculatory reply to France's proposals for evacuation of the Ruhr was drawn up for presentation this afternoon by the German delegation to the allied reparations conference. In some quarters it was said that Germany's answer was "virtually acceptance" of the French terms. International News Service was informed, however, that the reply makes acceptance possible, but that further negotiations probably would be necessary. The German communication is a lengthy document. It was drafted after President Ebert had communicated the gist of German political views to Chancellor Marx. Berlin virtually placed responsibility for the reply upon the German conference delegation but it is understood that the ministers in Berlin suggested counter proposals as a possible means of obtaining better evacuation terms for the Germans. The Germans planned to ask France and Belgium to state their demands in a diplomatic note to which Germany will reply. Germany considers her rights have been injured here, maintaining that the separate Ruhr negotiations have not been conducted in the spirit of the conference. However, the Germans had no alternative, but submit, announcing tentative acceptance under duress. Chancellor Marx and his colleagues had decided to accept the French Ruhr terms last night, but received word from Berlin that President Ebert wished to have conferences with various political leaders first so the Teuton entoys "Aside from the fact that we will prove a economy over our present rate with the Edison company," says Mayor Metcalf, there are two other very important reasons for the plant: "Anaholim's source of supply will be in its own hands, avoid power and light famines as being experienced at present we have learned from experience that as long as the law imposes as it enjoys now, the city cannot make a contract with the Edison company that cannot be changed in its rate provisions. We are now paying more than the contract calls and the raidroad commission just authorized another sharp increase." "I realize that the success of our municipal project of this kind rests very largely with the executives directly in charge. I think that we are very fortunate having men connected with the city power department who entirely competent to proceed with such an undertaking." LOVE NEST PAIR GET FIVE YEARS Five years each without probation San Quentin was the senate passed today on G. E. Brookland and Mrs. Ada Campbell Wiley Superior Judge F. C. Drumunanta Ana.

The driver is being pursued in nearby hills by a posse of 100 armed men. The boy sustained a broken collarbone, severe lacerations, and body bruises when attacked, police said. Fire Chief Fischle reported on the annual Fire Chief Convention at Pasadena. There were present 302 California fire chiefs, five from Orange-co. He said there were many helpful suggestions for small city departments. City Manager Price reported the G. C. was anxious for an industrial zoning of the city to encourage the locating of factories at the 49-acre industrial tract. Price also urged the importance of city planning. The matter was referred to the ordinance committee. City Atty, Wobb was instructed to proceed with the codifying of the more than 400 city ordinances, many now obsolete. The classification will be a big help to all departments of the city. The cost will be $500. A letter was read from an auctioneer asking that the license ordinance be remodeled from a charge of $25 per auction to $25-a quarter. It was referred to the ordinance committee. A letter from L. W. McCullom, sanitary engineer for La Habra and Buena Park, was referred to the joint outfall committee. La Habra with a population of 3060 and Buena Park with 800 are seeking to buy 6¼ pct of the outfall. The petition has already been accepted informally. The council was visited by a delegation of about 25 women last evening. They appeared very much interested in the proceedings. At conclusion, one stated: "I guess everything is going along all right." Another remarked: "I think we should come often so we may know how to vote." Mayor Metcalf expressed the pleasure of the council at having them present and stated taxpayers were always welcome to see how the city's affairs were being administered.
