White administration officials retained from public comment today, or obvious reasons, it is an open secret that there exists in Washington no very great sympathy for France over the pugnt in which she finds herself. Government financial experts merely pointed out today that the present situation is the logical and predicted outcome of the French policy during and since the war in balancing her budget by continual loans instead of by domestic taxation, as Great Britain and the United States have done. They quoted Premier Herriot's own words and figures before the chamber, snowing that the war cost France approximately 170,000,000 francs, or about $24,000,000,000 at normal exchange of which less than 15 per cent was derived from revenues. The rest was borrowed—much of it abroad. The world faith in French financial integrity and French credit, government experts said today, can only be restored by her taking some delicate action toward her foreign debts and the application of sufficient domestic taxation to balance her budget. "France must, sooner or later, talk more about paying her war debts and less about her war sacrifices," said one official. DETERMINED TO RESTORE FRANC PARIS, Feb. 17.—Determination to restore the franc to its prewar gold value was voiced today by all speakers in chamber of deputies. Jacques Dubolin prescribed progressive deflation as the only remedy. "France's internal debt is 277,000,000 francs of which two-thirds will mature within the year," he said. He closed with a warning to finance minister Clementel not to "wait for a miracle to occur to HERRIOT An incurable angler, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, noted author and teacher, is on his way to New Zealand in search of better trout fishing.

Mitchell, assistant chief of army air service, appeared again before the house aircraft investigating committee and declared that a group of enemy airplanes could "wipe out New York in a day." Mitchell gave his opinion to one committee almost at the same time that Theodore Roosevelt, ex-assistant secretary of the navy, was telling another committee that aircraft was a supplementary army of national defense and should be kept that way. Mitchell vigorously denied that his advocacy of a unified air service was inspired by hope of per- or advancement. OFF NEXT Experience or Efficiency Ignored U.S.A. Club Boys Whose head is coming on?

He closed with a warning to finance minister Clementel not to "wait for a miracle to occur to enable you to meet the payments." Clemente told the deputies it would be impossible to restore the franc "by decrees" but that the only method was "by increasing production and creating economic improvement." FRANCE CANNOT REPAY WITH GOLD PARIS, Feb. 17.—"It is materially impossible," Deputy Louis Loucheur this afternoon told the chamber of deputies, "for any country to pay with gold the amount of France's debt to America. "America did not lend France gold," he added. "France's important loans to the little countries—Poland, Serbia and Czecho-Slovakia—must not be forgotten. Personally, I favor France's cancellation of the debts owed it by the small powers." Service and Quality DRUGS JACKSON DRUG Co. 237 E. CENTER ST. PHONE 73 WE DELIVER A.H.S. Seniors' Annual Ditch Day Uproarous Surprise The Hi Schol seniors' annual Ditch Day yesterday was an uproarious success. Nearly the entire class went up Mt. Baldy, the main exceptions being a few girls on the greatest hookey vacation of the year. Today they got their excuses from Principal J. A. Clayes and presented them to their teachers. Eighteen cars made the trip, and the same car, which Francis Bode the commander called "1815 five-pinion dan Ford," got held no twice by some traffic officers. Some of the party members trip to Barton Flats. The trip was shocking. For instance, a crowd entered an ex-guest prospect, which one Ken to have found a score on.

Club Board Whose head is coming off next? That's the question city employees are asking themselves these days, following further wholesale discharges by the new city council dictated by U. S. A. Club advisers in furtherance of its merciless policy of discharging men, regardless of efficiency or experience. Already more men have been freed than left the city's employ for all causes in 10 months under the preceding administration. To a Klansman is a crime, no matter how subordinate the employee in question may be, no matter how honest, experienced, or that not, as one man remarked: "Bigotry is in the saddle; election promises are a thing of the past." It is difficult to say who are the latest to be fired, because several heads may have fallen since the facts here presented were obtained. But yesterday five men of the street department, Robert Beigh, Otto Stracener, J. C. Kirkpatrick, R. D. Beat and Oscar Morrison were put out of their jobs with possibly more to follow; this morning E. C. Healton, city hall monitor went; today employees of the power and light department are quaking in their boots, expecting discharge; while nine police, because of their wonderful work on cleaning out bootleggers, are still jobless, so far as known. Yesterday the city put back Bud Sackett as driver of the city sweeper. Sackett is the man who was removed after an alleged attempt to shield a drunken driver who had been the cause of a collision of three cars, in one of which were a woman and child. The firing of the police was in line with the firing of City Attorney Bill Webb, who prosecuted bootleggers to a finish when he was in office. Street Department Foreman Hiram Bowen doubtless fearing for his own head, said, "There's nothing new in this. We do it every year. The boys knew they were going. Last year we laid them off still earlier." Bowen said further that a lot of pipe had been laid, but no grading or oiling of streets was in prospect. Much more pipe was still to come and it wasn't in sight. This doesn't chime in with the public understanding that a big paving program was to be put up. SAY STOKES STOPPED AT NOTHING CHICAGO, Feb. 17.—W. E. D. Stokes, New York millionaire, was pictured today in his trial on a charge of conspiracy to defame his wife, Helen Elwood Stokes, as scouring the former underworld district of Chicago in a taxicab, accompanied by a negress offering money to those who would take him and growing "indignant" and "speaking real ugly" because no one would identify pictures of Mrs. Stokes as a former inmate of the notorious Everleigh Club. The witness who drew the picture was Mrs. Louise Freyerson who at various times was employed as seamstress and maid by one of the inmates of the club known as "Pinkle." "Did you ever meet the defendant, W. E. D. Stokes, and if so where," she was asked. She had been passing the home of a friend and dropped in to pass the time of day. Stokes was there. Told she had been an employee of the Everleigh Club, he produced "quite a few pictures" and asked her whether she ever saw the "woman in them before." One was a picture of a woman with a child in her lap. The other she recalled was that of a woman in an electric victoria. "Did you ever see her before?" Stokes asked her, she said. "I told him I had not," she weat on." He said: "This is a colored baby and she was a girl in the Everleigh Club. You ought to know her." I kept on insisting I didn't and he said that was funny if I ever had worked there. "First he said the woman was Miss Helen Underwood and later he told me it was his wife. He SGURES Witness Testifies Selby Seemed Under Influence of "Something" LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17.—The defense in the trial of "Kid" MeCoy on charges of robbery and assault with intent to murder during a shooting rampage he staged following the death of Mrs. Teresa Mors, scored today when the first witness frer prosecution testified that McCoy appeared "wild, abnormal and apparently under the influence of something" during the incident. The witness was Victor C. Emden, one of the "victims", who were held up by McCoy. Emden's testimony, the defense claimed, supported its stand that McCoy was "mentally irresponsible" for the crimes with which he is charged. 'BORROWS' $50,000 FROM PRISONER ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 17.—Albert E. Sartain, formerly warden at the U. S. penitentiary, today admitted on the witness stand in his trial here that he had borrowed $5000 from Willie H. Haar, convicted. Savannah bootleger, while Haar was a convict at the penitentiary. Sartain is charged in indictments, along with L. J. Fletcher, formerly his deputy warren, with having solicited and accepted bribes from prisoners at the institutions in return for "soft berths." "I was a fool for doing such a thing," Sartain testified. "However, I did do it. I owed $5000 to Lawrence Riehl of Columbus and he kept after我 for the money. I brooded over it. I did not know how else to get that sum. I knew Willie Haar could raise it for me and I finally asked him for it. He got it and gave it to me as a loan." REMOVE DYING CHINESE LEADER PEKING, Feb. 17.—Altho dying, San Yat Sen, chinese leader, is to be moved from the Rockefeller hospital by the Kuo Ming Tang politicians, against the advice of American doctors, who fear death during the process. Dr. Sun is to be lodged in the confiscated home of Wellington Koo, former minister of America, where the politicians will have greater access to him. Orange-co, voters to go to the polls to vote $100,000 Memorial erected probably and dedicated to riotite organizations have its use. This became imminent the meeting at Santa Ana Street Department Foreman for his own head, said, "There's nothing new in this. We do it every year. The boys knew they were going. Last year we laid them off still earlier." Bowen said further that a lot of pipe had been laid, but no grading or oiling of streets was in prospect. Much more pipe was still to come and it wasn't in sight. This doesn't chime in with the public understanding that a big paving program was to be put thru. Following the discharges, the city has only three teams left for street work. They are confining themselves to removing weeds, grubbish and garbage and filling up truts. After the impression has gotten around that Boss Bill Stark's program is one of economy, the city will load up its payrolls more heavily than ever—that's the belief of the wiseacres who have been watching Stark and his works. WOMAN MAY LIVE SANTA ROSA, Feb. 17. — Announcement was made today by physicians attending Mrs. Verner Ronk, only living victim of the tragedy near here Sunday, in which Samuel R. Montgomery, San Francisco auto dealer, killed his wife, Verner Ronk and himself, will recover. Her wound is healing and she is recovering from shock. Facts brought out at the inquest tended to indicate that the killings were premeditated. Montgomery having brought two loaded revolvers with him from San Francisco. Annual Ditch Proarous Success Some of the party made a side trip to Barton Plats. The trip was chockful of features. For instance, some of the crowd entered an ex-gold mine or prospect, which one Kelley is said to have found a score of years ago. This crowd consisted of Fred Winters, Florence Trapp, Lois Wilson, Doris Wilson, Bruno Gound, Lucy Alplanalp, William Keely, Everett Wells, and Theodore Chassan. They entered for 15 feet, and today are swing away samples of evidence to their friends. CHAPMAN NAMED SACRAMENTO, Feb. 17. — Appointment of Chas. C. Chapman of Pullerton to a vacancy on the state immigration and housing commission caused by the death of John S. Chambers, former state controller, was announced today by Gov. Richardson in a telephone message to his office here from El Centro. Chapman was one of the Coolidge electors in presidential ballot is well known in political circles through the state. REMOVE DYING CHINESE LEADER PEKING, Feb. 17. — Altho dying, San Yat Sen, chinese leader, is to be moved from the Rockefeller hospital by the Kuo Ming Tang politicians, against the advice of American doctors, who fear death during the process. Dr. Sun is to be lodged in the confiscated home of Wellington Koo, former minister of America, where the politicians will have greater access to him. BLAME SUIT FOR SLUMP IN STOCKS NEW YORK, Feb. 17. — Wall Street today blamed the sudden and spectacular slump of metal stocks on the success of the suit of Geo. Carson, "desert rat" who claimed the American Smelting and Refining Co. had infringed his patents. If the suit is successful again on appeal, he may collect $2,000,000 damages. Stock of the company which sold here at 100 in the early sales declined seven points during the day, a loss to stockholders estimated at approximately $5,000,-000. Shares of other copper and smelting companies also suffered in the general reaction following the announcement that the U.S. circuit court of appeals had upheld Carson's petition. SUES FOR $100,000 LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17. — Alleging that a description of herself in a police bulletin in which authorities were stated to be searching for her and her daughter, Helen O'Rourke, had injured her, Mrs. Kathine C. Iten of Omaha today filed suit in the U.S. district court against Chief of Police R. Lee Heath et al seeking $100,000. Mrs. Iten charged describing her as having a "hard hatchet face" had damaged her social position. BANDITS GET $3500 ST.

This became imminent today at the meeting of the board of supervisors at Santa Ana, where a board member was asked to do so. Several applications were expected by Fullerton trustees tonight for appointment as Fullerton chief of police, succeeding Arthur L. Eells discharged following disagreement with the board growing out of hiring the recent dry law enforcement raiders, and his refusal to discharge Dorsey Ellis, without being given a reason for so doing. IN CAVE Further Efforts Might Result in Added Loss of Life SAND CAVE, Ky., Feb. 17—All operations to recover the body of Floyd Collins from the Sand Cave tomb, in which he was trapped 18 days ago, were abandoned at 11:30 o'clock today after four friends of Collins and a coroner's jury of experienced men had verified the judgment of H. T. Carmichael, general supervisor, that further efforts were futile and would result only in further cost of human life. The last members of the coroner's jury came from the shaft at 11:25 and H. C. Tucker, acting coroner announced that he had seen Collins, recognized him was certain that he was dead and was equally sure "there is no way of removing the body without probable further loss of human life." His two jurymen T. L. Gorby and Claude Monroe, corroborated his statements. M. E. S. Posey, state highway engineer, then entered the shaft for a final inspection and following his report, the official announcement was made that operations were to be suspended definitively. Work of dismantling the camp was started immediately. The huge canvas covering which has served as a roof for the pit, was taken down and workmen began preparations for hauling the heavy machinery up the steep rocky runway to the cliff. Only the formal verdict of the coroner's jury was wanting to place the stamp of finis on Sand Cave's tragedy and this, it was expected, would be delivered within a few hours. Simple funeral service for Collins will be held on the brow of the cliff overlooking the pit under which his body lies at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Officiating will be Dr. C. K. Dickey of the Horse Cave and Cave City Methodist church. A combined choir from the three churches in Cave City will sing. Just after abandonment of plans were announced formally, Dr. Wm. Hazlett of Chicago went into the shaft and made a detailed examination of the upper part of the body and pronounced officially that Collins had been dead two to five days. Dr. Hazlett is the only medical man actually to reach Collins. While he was preparing his detailed report for submission to the coroner's jury, the officials who had been conferring on the means of saving Sand Cave to hu- Orange-co. voters may be asked to go to the polls to decide whether they wish to vote bonds for a $100,000 Memorial building to be erected, probably in Santa Ana and dedicated to the various patriotic organizations, who would have its use. This became imminent today at the meeting of the board of supervisors at Santa Ana, where a resolution was passed by the board giving its approval to the movement. Members of the various patriotic societies, who were in attendance at the meeting presented the plan for a building. The supervisors took under advisement a suggestion made by W. C. Jerome, county auditor, that the building be built by a bond issue, this to be submitted to the people of the county for their approval. Tentative plans call for a structure costing between $100,000 and $150,000. The date for an election for the question of a lighting district at Costa Mesa was set by the supervisors for March 24. SEEK REDRESS IN CRASH INJURIES Two suits in which damage totaling more than $20,000 are involved and arising out of automobile accidents were on file to day in the superior court at Santa Ana. Judgment for $10,500 is asked by C. E. Hammond, represented by Auto club attorneys of Los Angeles, who brought an action against E. Barnes and others, whose machine is allowed to have crashed into Hammond's car on Central-ave, La Habra, last May 24. Included in the alleged damages are bills for hospital expense, repair to the machine, and items for asserted permanent injuries Hammond claims he sustained. In her suit for $10,200 damages brought against Amos W. Smith of Santa Ann, Mrs. Sarah J. Myers of Los Angeles declared she sustained injuries and scars from which she never will recover when her car was in collision on North Main-street Santa Ana, with one driver by Smith. Several applications were expected by Fullerton trustees tonight for appointment as Fullerton chief of police, succeeding Arthur L. Eells discharged following disagreement with the board growing out of hiring the recent dry law enforcement raiders, and his refusal to discharge Dorese Ellis, without being given a reason for so doing. Fred Hezmalhalch, city clerk, refused to have anything further to do with the affair, and said today applicants must file their applications with the police committee. O. M. Thompson, member of the police committee, said at noon no application had been filed so far as he knew. Fred J. Yates, acting chief of police, said today he was making application. Yates said that the force is now up to the quota permitted under the recent ruling of the board. With Ellis and Eells gone, George Annin and Jake Diest have been re-appointed. Anaheim's police force today was also nearing normal, several men having either temporarily or permanently been appointed to take the places of the nine discharged. Permanent or temporary officers besides Moody included: F. W. Howard, M. Y., Andrade, L. C. Whalen, P. E. Howell, Jack Combs and J. D. Woodruff, patrolmen; and J. J. Looney, former city marshal of Brea, motorcycle officer. Several of these are only "helping out" until permanent officers are appointed. It appears to be the policy of the local trustees to employ out of town men and let local men "loaf." RESIDENT GOVERNOR WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—An explanation was made at the White House as to the reason Press, Coolidge appointed Geo. A. Parks, governor of Alaska. President Coolidge thought it was explained that the 50,000 residents of Alaska, were entitled to a resident governor, a man who had lived in the territory and understood its problems.

While he was preparing his detailed report for submission to the coroner's jury, the officials who had been conferring on the means of closing Sand Cave to human being forever, announced that it had been decided to fill the shaft with earth and boulders and seal the original entrance. The overhanging cliff, they said, will not be tumbed down into the pit by a blast of dynamite. Gen. Denhardt announced tails afternoon that troops would leave Sand Cave tonight. Possibilities of another attempt to recover Collins' body, perhaps by private individuals were ended with a statement of Lee Collins, father, after the abandonment had leen announced. "I will never permit any second attempt to be made to get Floyd out," he said, "I am satisfied with the situation as it is." SAN CAVE, Ky., Feb. 17.—The threat of sudden death crept over San Cave again today as workmen at 9:45 o'clock fought against time and sagging rocks in an effort to burrow thru a new side drift to Floyd Collins' foot that his body might be brought from its narrow rock bound coffin before another fall of earth and rock, which might take its toll of human life, definitely closed the hole to rescuers. "Conditions in the manhole are becoming extra hazardous," it was officially reported. "Even now, the point has been reached where a man entering there to work is more than likely never to come out alive." To assure a means of definitively establishing the copus detecti in case the earth should suddenly close again over Collins' body, a number of men again were sent down one by one into the shaft (Continued on Page Two) 200,000 FRUIT TREES; all leading varieties.
