THOUSANDS VIEW LAYS WREATH ON TOMB OF UNKNOWN President Coolidge Leads Nation in Observing Armistice Day WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—President Coolidge today led a victorious and peaceful nation in observance of the signing of the armistice that brought peace six years ago. The president motored to Arlington National cemetery and laid a wreath on the tomb of the Permanent World Peace Rests Upon International Justice INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 11—A plea for the disabled veteran was made here today in the Armistice message of James A. Drain, commander of the American Legion. The message reads: "On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, six years ago today, the order to "cease firing" brought to a close the greatest war the world had ever known. "The sigh of relief that went up around the world attested eloquently to the feelings of peoples toward the most abominable of all legalized business—killing. "Armistice Day should always be a reminder of that bloodiest war, it should be dedicated each year to the message of world peace, the great goal which we all seek. "Permanent world peace rests upon international justice and without that justice there will always be war. Justice must be automatic and it will depend upon the erection of some form of world court." "The people of the United States are prone to forget, but on this day they should give a thought for those wrecks for whom the armistice has never come." President Coolidge Leads Nation in Observing Armistice Day WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—President Coolidge today led a victorious and peaceful nation in observance of the signing of the armistice that brought peace six years ago. The president motored to Carlington National cemetery and laid a wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier, America's symbol of her heroic dead. The president was accompanied by many government officials, but the ceremony lacked the pomp and display of other observances because of the absence of hundreds of federal employees. On the eve of the observance, President Coolidge declined to declare today a holiday on the ground that he lacked authority, after a ruling on the question had been given him by Comptroller General McCarrk. Scores of people made pilgrimages to the altar of America's phantom hosts throughout the day, and the tomb of that unknown warrior who died on the fields of France upholding American ideals was banked high with flowers and wreaths as silent testimonials of the American people. In the name of the Grandes Blesses de La Face (Society of Wounded in the Face), Captain Roger Brunachwig, French army officer, was to lay one of the many wreaths, Captain Emmanuel Lombard, assistant military attache of the French embassy and representatives of the Disabled American War Veterans, Disabled Emergency Officers of the World War I, wrans of Foreign Wars, Amer-Legion and Military Order of the World War, accompanied him. Col. John T. Axton, chief of chaplain, and Rabbi Morris S. Lazaron, of Baltimore, who officiated at the funeral services of the unknown soldier, will go to the tomb late this afternoon and law a wreath in accordance with the custom they have established of visiting the tomb each anniversary. "Gold Star" war mothers, the American Legionnaire of Washington and numerous other organizations will leave fresh wreathes at the marble sepulchra, Woodrow Wilson, America's war president, will also be honored today with memorial services at the National Cathedral where he lies buried and memorial services were to be held around the Peace Cross in the Cathedral grounds. NEW YORK BOWS HEAD IN SILENCE NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—New York will bow its head in silence for two full minutes today in tribune. EX-NOMINEE MURDERS HIS WIFE EVERETT, Wash., Nov. 11.—Mrs. Percy B. Tyler, 44, was dead here today while her husband, who ran for congress on the Farmer-Labor ticket in 1922, was being held in the county jail, accused of shooting her with a rifle last night while intoxicated. Tyler fled the scene of the shooting, telling his brother-in-law, T. R. Spangler, that he was on his way to the Snohomish river, where his body would be found. Sheriff James McColloch of Snohomish-co overtook him however, and lodged him in jail. Mrs. Tyler made an unsuccessful attempt to defend herself, drawing a pistol and aiming it at her husband as she fell, fatally wounded. She was unable to pull the trigger. After 17 years of married life, the couple had been separated for five months, until Sunday, when he returned home suddenly and demolished all the furniture with an axe. A week ago he threatened to kill his wife, neighbors say, whereupon she armed herself with a pistol. HARDING'S WIDOW HAS "POOR NIGHT" MARION, Ohio, Nov. 11.—Mrs. Warren G.

The newspapers this evening reported a number of incidents all over London as a result of mobs threatening parrons who failed to observe the two minutes of silence in respect to the war dead.

In the meantime it has become the net of the police department much to the disgust and jealousy of "Tip," who hitherto had enjoyed this distinction. "Tip" lays over in the farther corner of the room, and looks with sorrowful eyes as the "copa" lavish upon the newcomer the "petting" that he had evidently come to regard as exclusively his.

PLEDGES OF CAMPAIGN PROBLEM Expect Little Aid From Session of "Lame Duck" Congress WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—With the cheers of a Republican victory still echoing in the distance, Pres. Coolidge was confronted today with a first class division of opinion in his party over the question of how soon the administration is going to embark on a program of carrying out its campaign pledges. STOCK WILL BE INCLUDED IN RECALL Generally Credited With Responsibility for Agitation City Trustee G. J. Stock, last remnant of the old Anaheim wet political machine on the city council and generally credited with chief responsibility for the recall petition against Mayor E. H. Metcalf and Councilmen E. E. Knipe, A. A. Slaback and Dean Haasson, EXPECT LITTLE AID FROM SESSION OF "LAME DUCK" CONGRESS WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.—With the cheers of a Republican victory still echoing in the distance, Pres. Coolidge was confronted today with a first class division of opinion in his party over the question of how soon the administration is going to embark on a program of carrying out its campaign pledges. The congress that was elected on the crest of the Coolidge landslide cannot meet for more than a year yet, 13 months to be exact, unless Mr. Coolidge calls a special session to convene after March 4, next. The question has been put up to the president in about this form. "Can the party afford to wait 13 months before undertaking to carry out its pledge to business to lower taxes, particularly in the higher braskets, and accomplish the other legislative reforms that it promised to business during the campaign just ended?" "The "old guard" advisers among the president's friends have advised him not to call any special session. Business, they contend, is all right and wants nothing so much as to be let alone. They point out, for instance, that Judge Elbert Gary, head of the steel corporation, recently said in a public speech that the country would be better off if congress went on an extended vacation and stayed there. On the other hand, the progressively-inclined Republicans of the Borah type, believe that neither this administration nor any administration can afford to delay 13 months the attempt to enact its campaign promises into legislation. If it does, this school of thought contends, then the inevitable reaction will set in that will cost the Republican party defeat in the by-elections of 1926—perhaps to the extent of overthrowing the fairly comfortable majority which the administration now has in both houses of Congress. What happened to the Harding administration is being pointed to as an example. Harding came in on the crest of a great landslide, too, but the bye-elections of 1922 saw the overwhelming Republican majorities wiped out and control of-congress placed in the hands of the La Follette insurgency. No further reduction of income taxes along the lines of the original Mellon plan can be expected from the lame duck congress that meets three weeks hence. This congress defeated the Mellon plan once and the influences that defeated it once can do it again, the Progressive conservatives point out. Those influences are La Follette insurgency. No immediate decision is in Generally Credited With Responsibility for Agitation City Trustee G. J. Stock, last remnant of the old Anaheim wet political machine on the city council and generally credited with chief responsibility for the recall petition against Mayor E. H. Metcalf and Councilmen E. E. Knipe, A. A. Slaback and Dean Hasson, will also find a recall petition filed against himself, it was declared today. After weeks of canvassing, the U. S. A. club finally filed its recall petition against Metcalf, Knipe, Slaback and Hasson late yesterday, claiming to have sufficient signatures to force a recall election. "These councilmen are sitting pretty and have nothing to fear from a recall," was the declaration today of Dr. E. E. Long, their campaign manager last spring when they were swept into office by the largest vote ever given candidates for Anaheim city trustee. "These men were elected by two to one vote over the old wet political machine and have done everything that was expected of them, despite the heckling of former officeholders, of whom there are 16 on the roles of the U. S. A. club." "For the first time in the history of Anaheim, the law is being enforced without fear or favor and it doesn't sit well with the bootleggers and some others." "Compared with the silly excuse for the recall of Metcalf, Knipe, Hasson and Slaback, there is real grounds for the removal of Stock, who has done everything possible to discredit the efforts of the present administration. H. P. Tobin, when asked what he thought of the recall, laughed heartily and said: "I don't think they're going to get anywhere with it myself. Really I don't see any particular reason for a recall. Of course you'll find disgruntled ones no matter who is elected. I called to the attention of the man who saw me like difference between this administration and the one before it. He was an ex-city employee and appreciated what I said. I've never seen any better men than the ones in office right now." George W. Sloop of the Garmar School Board, said: "I am surely not in favor of the recall. I think it is stirring up too much feeling in town. It's a bad thing all the way thru. It's not warranted in any way. The administration has done very good work and has shown its stand on 18th amendment. It has shown the difference between its attitude and that of its predecessors." SECRETARY DAVIS INTENDS TO QUIT WASHINGTON, Nov. 11—Secy. of Labor James Davis is the only member of the cabinet who has indicated to Pres. Coolidge his intention to resign on March 4. It was announced officially at the White House today. Davis is now en route to South America to make an investigation of immigration problems. Native Filipinos May Be Naturalized WASHINGTON, Nov. 11—Native born Filipinos are eligible to be naturalized as American citizens, the District of Columbia supreme court ruled today, thereby overruling a decision of the bureau of naturalization of the department of labor. The government had contended that a Filipino could not be granted naturalization papers unless he had previously served in the armed forces of the United States, although an act of June 29, 1916, declared that a native born Filipino "does not owe permanent allegiance to the United States." Coyotes Mangle Prospector's Body RENO, Nov., 11—Efforts were being made today to identify the body of a man found five miles northwest of here. One empty cartridge in a revolver showed the cause of death. He had been dead, authorities said, for more than two months and the body had been badly mangled by coyotes. His dress and equipment indicated he had been a prospector. ORANGE MARKETS HOLDS STREET In spite of several cars or ida oranges entering the city prices held up well at New yesterday.
