The novel engagement will consist of an attempt by the Blue Fleet, driving south form Los Angeles harbor in an attempt to avoid the defending fleet and establish a base of operations for an army on the lower California coast. If the Black fleet is able to pass thru the Blue fleet defense and establish this base, it is conceded that the army will be able to invade the United States by crossing the Mexican border into California. The black fleet and the Blue Fleet were believed to be close to each other today, although no report were being sent out from the ship and their location was kept secret. When the fleets meet, the Blue Fleet will count on its 14 airplanes on the airplane carrier Langley as a greater advantage than the submarines of the Blue Fleet. The airplanes will be used only for scouting and observation, the submarines will be the first line of attack for the Blue Fleet. Another naval collision, this time between two destroyers, occurred yesterday in the invading fleet when the Pericval and Chase brushed each other, on their trip south. The damage was slight. The destroyer Robert Smith, damaged in a collision with the Langley, will cost the government about $100,000 in repairs, it was estimated. "GENERAL X" WAS SIR JOHN COWAN LONDON, Man. 4.—The identity of the famous soldier named as "General X" was disclosed today. Mrs. Dorothy Dennistoun testified that he was Gen. Sir John Cowan, quarter master general of the British army during the world war. The declaration was as startling to high army and social circles as her original charges against her husband that his promotion was gained from General X at the cost of the greatest sacrifice on the wife's part, with her husband's knowledge and approval. One of Mrs. Dennistoun's letters to her husband was read to VERDICT OF PROBERS TODAY SACRAMENTO, March 4.—State Sen. Edgar S. Hurley of Oakland, on the witness stand today before the assembly committee investigating charges of extortion in connection with the Smith Chinese herb bill, made emphatic denial that he had ever made any arrangements with anybody to receive money for working against the bill. Hurley admitted visiting the office of Fong Wen, Oakland herb doctor, in company with former Assemblyman William Brackett who testified yesterday to soliciting employment from the Chinese as lobystaff against the bill at a $5,000 fee. Hurley's account of the visit and of his relations with Brackett differed considerably from the altter's testimony yesterday. Hurley admitted that he had agreed with Brackett to recommend him for the job of lobystaff before entering the Chinese herb doctor's office but said he did not know at that time what bill it was that Brackett was seeking to lobby against. He said his first information on the herb bill came through a reonest from Brackett in Oakland asking him to send a copy of the bill from Sacramento. Hurley said that the bill had not yet been printed at the time and that he got its purpose from Smith, its author, and sent a penciled synopsis of the bill to Brackett. Hurley testified that he met Assemblyman Smith in Oakland during the legislative recess in February and that Smith told him "an offer on the bill had been conveyed."

Mrs. Dorothy Dennistoun testified that he was Gen. Sir John Cowan, quarter master general of the British army during the world war. The declaration was as startling to high army and social circles as her original charges against her husband that his promotion was gained from General X at the cost of the greatest sacrifice on the wife's part, with her husband's knowledge and approval. One of Mrs. Dennistoun's letters to her husband was read to the courtroom: "If you don't do soemthing for me, 'I'll not only expose your character, but will show that you were living with Lady Carnarvon during her husband's life." Mrs. Dennistoun is suing her former husband who has married again since their divorce, for money she claimed was advanced by her and for alleged breach of agreement that he would pay her a flat sum in lieu of alimony. Col. Dennistoun is now the husband of the former Lady Carnarvon, whose first husband started the search of King Tut's tomb. He is the stepfather of the present Countess Carnarvon, formerly Catherine Wendell, of New York. Gen. Sir John Cowan, named by Mrs. Dennistoun as the famous soldier from whom she sought favor for her husband, was responsible for the commission of the British army in the world war. He was credited with great service but was penniless when he died in 1921 and his widow was forced to sell his medals in her efforts to raise funds.

Estimate at least 100,000 Gather in Front of National Capitol WASHINGTON,March 4—The curtain went up promptly at 11 o'clock today on the capital's great quadrennial spectacle of the death of one administration and the birth of another. At that hour President Coolidge left the executive mansion for the capitol and the seat of government; for the time being, was transferred to the great grey dome at the end of Pennsylvania-ave. Preceded by a troop of cavalry and a troop of mounted police, the presidential automobile, containing Mr. and Mrs.Coolidge and Sen.Curtis of Kansas, Republican leader of the senate, proceeded slowly thru Pennsylvania-ave., lined with thousands of spectators. Casting aside the ostentatious display of glittering pageantry of other years,Coolidge bared his head to the chill Marsh wind on the plaza of the capitol and in one of the simplest inaugural ceremonies on record, renewed the oath of office he originally took 19 months ago in the lamp-lit room of his father's Vermont farm house under tragic and dramatic circumstances. On the vast plaza, afront the capitol,a crowd of scores of thousands was assembled.From the east steps of the capitol to the congressional library,people were packed to sardine tightness.Muffled in furs and overcoats the vast throng shifted restlessly while waiting for the president to emerge from the senate chamber. The Marine band, resplendent in scarlet coats and much gold braid,was placed directly beneath the president's stand.It played patriotic airs to assuage the restlessness of the throng. Estimates of the number of people within range of the president's voice,carried afar thru the loud speakers varied widely,但 among the lowest was 100,000.From the president's stand，15 feet above the level，它 looked as tho throng would have filled the Yale Bowl twice over.

WASHINGTON, March 4—The party lash, the administration leaders today jammed in the dying congress the $54,000,000 second deficiency appropriation bill, which had been used as a weapon in the senate by the eastern farm bloc in its efforts to force a special session for the consideration of farm relief legislation. Passage of the bill removed the obstacle to an adjournment of Congress until next December. As issued, the bill was stripped of all public building appropriations that carried large sums to meet debts incurred by the various government departments during the current fiscal year. WASHINGTON, March 4—An annubius naval bill making a number of changes in laws affecting the navy's personnel was passed day by the house after acceptance of a number of senate charges.

SENATE “TABLES” PLAN FOR COURT WASHINGTON, March 4—The world court issue was flatly repudiated by the senate today when it voted to "table" a motion to consider a resolution providing for American adherence to the international tribunal. The issue was raised by Senator King, Dem. of Utah, who offered a motion that the senate consider the adherence resolution in executive session. Senator Moses, Rep. of N.H., irreconcilable leader, immediately moved to "table" King's motion and the senate overwhelmingly voted to do so. No record vote was taken. ASKS MODERATION PARIS, March 4—Appealing to America to use moderation in pressing France to pay her war debt, former Premier Callaulx, addressing the Anglo-American Press Ass'n today, said: "We can't ask our soldiers to pay for the capes in which they were killed.

Theaisen leading into the diplomatic and cabinet sections were choked with high hats and expensive furs. A few minutes before 1 o'clock the members of the supreme court of the United States, led by Chief Justice Taft, walked down the center steps, raising the first scattering applause. Mrs. Coolidge in grey, and Mrs. Dawes in blue, next appeared and the applause increased. Behind them came the president and vice-president. The hand struck up "Hall to the Chief" and the military snapped to salute. From this time on the proceedings moved with dispatch. While a breathless hush fell over the great assemblyge, there boomed the voice of Chief Justice Taft, clear as a bell. "Do you solemnly swear to—" The president's "I do," could scarcely be heard. He leaned forward slightly, kissed the open Bible—the same one which he used as a small boy in learning to read. He pronounced the oath at 1:02 p.m. Then without more ado, he turned, faced his audience and began his speech. His voice carried well to every section of the extensive concourse and he was accorded perfect attention. He delivered his address from manuscript, bareheaded and overcoated. He read rapidly and without break until he reached that portion wherein it stated that "we can best serve our country and discharge our duty by being American." A scattering applause greeted this. It was led by some of the senators who flanked him on either side. There was more applause when he observed that "America represents nothing but peaceful intentions toward all the earth." While the ceremonies today were the simplest in many decades, not even his orders and wishes could keep the occasion from being a gala one.

WASHINGTON, March 4—President Coolidge's brief inaugural address, one of the shortest on record, bristled with epigrams today. Some of the more pungent follow: "We can best serve our country and humanity by being Americans." "If we expect others to rely on our fairness and justice we must show that we rely on fairness and Justice." We can only help those who help themselves." "With us a treaty of peace means peace, and a treaty of amity means amity." Our program is never to oppress, but always to assist. There is no salvation in a narrow and bigoted partisanship." Economy is idealism in its most practical form." The wisest and soundest method of solving our tax problem is through economy." The collection of any taxes not absolutely required is only a species of legalized larceny." Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them." This country believes in prosperity." The result of economic dissipation to a nation is always moral decay."

With this sage observation concerning the task at hand, Calvin PRECEDENTS SHATTERED BY DAWES WASHINGTON, March 4. — Charles Gates (Hell an Maria) Dawes, newly installed vice-president, completely shattered president in his first day as presiding officer of the senate. After lambasting senate rules, Dawes stepped out of the quiet role which had been carefully prepared for him and took absolute charge of the inaugural ceremonies. It is the custom for senators-elect to take the oath in groups of five. After the first five had been administered, Dawes smashed all traditions by ordering all the other senators-elect to come to the well of the senate and take the oath collectively. Aftre the clerk had read the names of the second group of five, Dawes arose abruptly from his chair shouting: "Call them all, bring them all up." Senate attaches were flabergasted. A great roar of laughter and applause went up as the senator-elect crowded to the front of the rostrum. After administering the oath collectively, Dawes, again upsetting the plans, announced: "The Senate will go to the east front of the capitol." It had been arranged that the senate, the house and all other institutions be involved in prosperity. "Economy is idealism in its most practical form." "The wisest and soundest method of solving our tax problem is through economy." "The collection of any taxes not absolutely required is only a species of legalized larceny." "Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them." "This country believes in prosperity." "The result of economic dissipation to a nation is always moral decay." Our problem is not to secure new advantages, but to maintain those which we already possess." In a Republic the first rule for the guidance of the citizen is obeilience to law." While there may be those of high intelligence who violate the law at times, the barbarian and the defective always violate it." The essence of a republic is representative government." The fundamental precept of liberty is toleration. INAUGURAL SIDELIGHTS WASHINGTON, March 4—They had to put an extra leaf in the White House breakfast table. There was quite a family party. Mr. and Mrs. C. cludge, of course, soon to drive a mile up Pennsylvania-ave to sign a four-year lease on the old John Adams homestead on the Potomac. Then there was Col. John C. Coolidge of Plymouth, Vermont; the president's father, Mrs. Almira Goodhue of Northampton, Mass.; Mrs. Coolidge mother; John Coolidge, the president's only son; Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stearns of Boston, and a few other intimate friends. It only took the president about a quarter of an hour to get thru his inaugural address. He had promised a short one and it was. Perhaps he took a leaf out of the book of William Henry Harrison whose inaugural address occupier more than one hour in delivery despite a hall storm which drove most of the inaugural crowd to cover and a warm fireside. William Henry stuck it out; he went back to the executive mansion with a fever, went promptly to bed and died a month later. John W. Davis didn't stay in town to see Coolidge inaugurated altho he was here yesterday to appear before the supreme court. "Aren't you going to stay John?" a friend asked. "No," said the ex-Democratic candidate. "I wasn't invited." Evidently William J. Bryan thought that he was not invited either for he had not shown up at a late hour and his favorite hotel said he had made no reservation for the inaugural parade. A republican inauguration is wormwood and then some to "W. J." Of all the state governors in Americanism and Economy Featured in Address of President Coolidge WASHINGTON, March 4—Our most important problem is NOT to secure new advantages, but to maintain those we already possess. With this sage observation concerning the task at hand, Calvin Coolidge assumed the presidency of the United States today, and in one of the shortest, simplest inaugural addresses on record pledged himself to continue for four years the policies he has already inaugurated. These policies he set forth in his brief address as follows: Abroad — A continuation of American helpfulness and co-operation where deserved; aloofness from the political quarrels and jealousies of the Old World; with America setting a moral example for the world in moderate armament, and displaying a willingness always to substitute the rule of reason for the rule of force. At home—A continuation of the rigid economy in government that already has marked his administration; further tax reduction; encouragement to American business; enforcement of laws; party responsibility in government; and non-interference by the government in legitimate private business. Those who came to the wind-swept Plaza of the Capitol today expecting to see "a new Coolidge" stepping into the presidency in his own right, and accompanying it with a glittering speech setting forth new policies and new goals, were not accorded any such spectacle. With the same calmness that has ever marked his official acts, Mr. Coolidge simply interpreted the November election as a national endorsement of his administration and a mandate from the people to continue along the roadway he has been traveling. He presented no detailed program of administration effort for the next four years; he urged no great reforms; he advanced no radical changes—he said America is the most fortunate and favored of all nations, now enjoying an era of great prosperity, and it would be his unceasing endeavor to keep it that way. He served unmistakable notice that under his leadership the Republican party will be a disciplined party, and, indirectly, he referred to and endorsed the expulsion from the party of the LaPollette rebels who broke away from the Republican standard in the last campaign. “If there is to be responsible party government,” he declared. Dawes arose abruptly from his chair shouting: "Call them all, bring them all up." Senate attaches were flabergast-ed. A great roar of laughter and applause went up as the senators-elect crowded to the front of the rostrum. After administering the oath collectively, Dawes, again upsetting the plans, announced: "The senate will go to the east front of the capitol." It had been arranged that the senate, the house and all other branches of the government should file out individually as they came in. Dawes thus cut the inaugural ceremonies so short that the senators-elect were signing their names to the senate roster ten minutes after the audience had left the chamber to witness President Coolidge's inauguration in the capitol plaza. Dawes lived up to his reputation for audacity and bluntness in his inaugural address today by denouncing some of the present rules of the senate as "subversive of fundamental representative government." He assailed particularly the rule that will permit one senator to fillbuster and delay action of the senate indefinitely, to the end of defeating legislation on which all other senators are in favor. Dawes was administered the oath by Senator Cummins, Rep. of Iowa, retiring president protem. Cummins had occupied the chair since the elevation of Pres. Coolidge to the White House in August 1923. 8 HURT IN BLAST HONOIULU, March 4.—Eight soldiers were in the hospital at Fort Schofield today as the result of an explosion yesterday while loading artillery shells. The seriously injured were Private John Mullen of Philadelphia; Leon S. Canno of Steubenville, Ohio, and Corporal Alfred Snyder of Buffalo, N.Y. Drs. B. Franklin and Jennie A. Badley, Anaheim's leading Chiropractors, Dietitians and Iridiagnosticians, 406 N. Los Angeles St., phone service 1128, day or night. H. R. Wildman, Dentist, P. & M. Building, Fullerton, Phone 352. PHOTO OVER WIRE SAN FRANCISCO, March 4.—Early editions of afternoon papers today printed a photograph of Calvin Coolidge as he stood on the steps of the White House with a bouquet of California flowers this morning on his way to the Capitol to be sworn in as president. The picture came over the wires in 51 minutes. SIGNS SALARY BILL WASHINGTON, March 4.—Annual salaries of senators and representatives will be increased from $7500 to $10,000 under the 1925-26 legislative appropriation bill signed by President Coolidge today. J. A. Chitty for orange trees, 204 Bush; phone 971-M—Adv. Aren't you gong to stay John? a friend asked. "No," said the ex-Democratic candidate. "I wasn't invited." Evidently William J. Bryan thought that he was not invited either for he had not shown up at a late hour and his favorite hotel said he had made no reservation for the inaugural parade. A republican inauguration is wormwood and then some to "W. J." Of all the state governors in the capital today, the most sought after was Nellie Taylor Ross of Wyoming, the first woman state executive in the United States. Mrs. Ross is a guest of Senator and Mrs. John B. Kendrick of Wyoming. General Dawes said he didn't know he had so many relatives. At least one-third of his visitors at the Willard have been kin-folks, all wanting good seats in the inaugural stand at the capitol. The general ran out of tickets a long time ago, but he offered his best wishes and hoped they would get to see the parade. All the orchestras in town are playing the general's "Melody in A" this week and it will be rendered tonight at the inaugural ball at the Mayflower Hotel. The vice-president and Mrs. Dawes will represent the Coolidges at this affair. THE EXPRESSION OF THE POPULAR Will in favor of maintaining our constitutional guarantees was overwhelming and decisive. There was in the integrity of the courts that we can consider that issue rejected for some time to come. Likewise, the policy of public ownership of railroads and certain electric utilities met with unmistakable defeat. The president chose to divide his brief address into two parts. He spoke first of America's relations to the rest of the world, and he declared that "we can best serve our own country and discharge our obligations to humanity by being openly and candidly, intensely and scrupulously American." It is America's duty, being strong, he declared, to set the world an example in moderation of armament, and, in the spirit of fair play and justice, to rest her cause before the world on arbitration and reason rather than force. He specifically endorsed the conference idea in setting international problems, and he blitted that conferences can be expected under his administration. (Continued on Page Three)
