G. O. P. CLAIMS PRESIDENT THINKS HE WILL WIN Coolidge Making Plans To Remain in White House Next Term WASHINGTON, Oct. 28—President Coolidge predicted his own election today. With the campaign drawing to a close and the decision at the polls but a week away, Mr. Coolie VERA REYNOLDS NEW STAR PICKED BY CECIL DE MILLE COURT MUSIC DECIDE TA PUBLICITY Atty. Gen. Stone S Test Case Only Wa To Settle Matter WASHINGTON, Oct. 28—Gen. Stone issued his long awa pronouncement late today coning the controversy that has en'over newspaper publication income tax returns, but it is Coolidge Making Plans To Remain in White House Next Term WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 — President Coolidge predicted his own election today. With the campaign drawing to a close and the decision at the polls but a week away, Mr. Coolidge dropped some of the usual reserve that has characterized his utterances, anent the presidential race and told callers at the White House that he fully expected to be there four more years. Always before, the president has characterized the reports of the Republican managers as "encouraging." He has seldom talked about his own election publicly or to newspaper correspondents, but in the usual press conference today, it was avident that he considered the race already over. He similarly assured questioners that all his personal plans are being laid on the basis of his succeeding himself March 4 next. Mr. Coolidge further considers, he told inquiries, that he has stated his position adequately on every outstanding question at issue in this campaign. He has made upward of four dozen speeches and has written innumerable letters and statements since the campaign got under way and these, he thinks, fully cover his attitude on public questions. In any event, inquirers of the presidential attitude on specific matters, were referred today to these speeches and papers. He made no direct reference to the various "charges" of evasion brought against him by his opponents, John W. Davis and Senator Robt. M. La Pollette—but he conveyed the impression these will be allowed to go unanswered so far as he personally is concerned. So many of these "charges" are flying about in the closing days of the campaign, he told inquirers, that it would not be feasible or possible to answer specifically. Only a few minor speeches are on Mr. Coolidge's program for the week remaining of the campaign. One of these will be at the White House tomorrow to a group of New York advertising men, whose pilgrimage to the "back porch" of the White House was postponed Monday because of the death of Secretary Wallace. The president expects to vote in Northampton by mail, altho the decision on this point is not yet definitely settled. It is understood Mr. Coolidge was influenced against a trip to Northampton in person by the desire to receive the returns next Tuesday night in the White House. Miss Vera Reynolds, star in "Feet of Clay," will appear in person on the California stage tomorrow evening during presentation of her picture success. All Anaheim is interested in this young lady, through her close association with the city, as a niece and frequent visitor with her aunt, Mrs. F. H. Goodrich, and a resident until several years ago. Miss Reynolds was the "find" of Cecil de Mille who is righteously proud of her and a miss with a promising future. She will greet California patrons from the stage with a short message. ANAHEIM MAN JAILED FOR SHOOTING Held as a suspect in connection with the shooting of a man at Placentia two years ago in an attempted hold-up, Francisco Gonzalez of Anaheim, after being at liberty for that period, was facing a charge of assault with a deadly weapon and today he was incarcerated in the county jail unable to raise $1500 ball fixed by Justice Jack Landell. He also was being held under similar bail on a charge of attempted robbery at Anaheim, the first charge filed against him. In the late fall of 1922 Pedro de los Reyes, Placentia poolroom owner, was leaving his work at 11 p oclock at night and was riding Atty. Gen. Stone S Test Case Only Wa To Settle Matter WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 — Gen. Stone issued his long await pronouncement late today concerning the controversy that has en- over newspaper publication income tax returns—but it did definitely clear up the question. A clear cut settlement of question, the attorney general clared, can only be had by an appeal to the courts, and this promised would be forthcoming.

Under these circumstances, attorney general said, there only one thing to do—select a case and send it to the courts determination. Which newspaper of all the hundreds that print the tax returns, or whether will be made, the attorney general said he had not determined. This will be decided later, probably when the election is out of way. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 — cabinet today discussed the publication of income tax return Atty. Gen. Stone, expounding views, said an announcement the department of justice's tude would be made at 4 p.m. The attorney general decli- to give his views on the legal publication prior to the afternoon conference, altho there were indications that he was in agreement with Secretary of the Tr- urer Mellon, who declared there was no reason under law for newspapers to publish names of taxpayers, together with the amounts they paid to the government.

U.S. COUNSEL SHORTENS STORM OVER PACIFIST REBUKE Resolution Threatens to Disrupt United Lutheran Meeting CHICAGO, Oct. 28.—The Pacifist storm clouds which have hung over the biennial convention of the United Lutheran Church in America since its initial session here, U.S. COUNSEL SHORTENS OIL CASE LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28 — A sudden shift in the plans of government counsel designed to shorten the E. L. Doheny oil lease cancellation suit now on trial in the Los Angeles federal court featured progress of the case today. Only six or seven more witnesses will be called by the government in its effort to show that the Doheny Oil Co. leases and contracts were illegal and were made thru fraud, it was announced by Atty. Owen J. Roberts of government counsel. Roberts said the government's evidence should be completed not later than Friday. Atty. Roberts also announced today that altho Edwin C. Denby secretary of the navy at the time the Doheny leases were granted, was subpoenaed as a government witness in the case he will not be called to the stand to testify for the plaintiff. Denby will give his testimony for the defense, it was declared by defense attorneys. Admiral J. K. Robison, chief of the navy bureau of yards and dooks, also subpoenaed by the government, will appear for the defense and not as a government witness, it was learned. Former Secr. of the Interior A. B. Fall, whom the government claims showed extreme partiality toward his life-long friend, Doheny, in the making of Doheny oil contracts and leases, had nothing to do with the wording of the executive order which transferred administration of the navy oil reserves from the navy to the interior, it was brot out in cross-examination of E. C. Finney, assistant secretary of the interior. IOWANS HELD ON LIQUOR CHARGES CHICAGO, Oct. 28 — Charged with violating the Volstead act, Leo J. Simpson, Tom D. Ferguson, Victor Hue and Judson McCormick. RESOLUTION THreatens to Disrupt United Lutheran Meeting CHICAGO, Oct. 28 — The Pacifist storm clouds which have hung over the biennial convention of the United Lutheran Church in America since its initial session here, broke today with a crash which threatened to disrupt the convention. The thunder was precipitated by the adoption yesterday of the "war resolution" of the committee on morals and social welfare which declared that "Christians may engage in just wars." Today a dissenting minority led by Dr. Paul Scherer, of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church, New York City, and Dr. J. A. W. Haas, of Muhlenberg college, Allentown, Pa., refused to accept the war resolution as expressive of the stand of the Lutheran majority. The delegates amused themselves over excerpts from a letter of protest from Ted Lewis, jazz orchestra conductor. Lewis claimed that the report of Dr. J. F. Ohl, chairman of the committee on church music, was all wrong and that jazz was sadly misunderstood. Dr. Ohl's report condemned the influence of jazz in church music and the use in churches of theatre organs, manipulated by players who through the week serve in motion picture houses. "The these operators," Dr. Ohl's report contends, "play jazz throughout the week and when they come into church on Sunday, the habit is so strong in them that they tend to syncopate the sacred music of the hymns." Dr. Ohl's report also condemned the "theatrical" effects obtained by music in churches. In this category, he placed the playing of soft music during prayers. Lewin's protest and his request for a hearing were unavailable, the convention unanimously adopting Dr. Ohl's report. RAINS GENERAL IN NORTH CALIF.
