GREAT TRUNGS AT CREMONIES (Continue from Page One) ter of cavalry the rumble of artillery calls and the measured tread of infantry on the maren. And a note was thrown into todays brief pageant by the lumb-bring missing presence of a battalion of tanks. Seven thousand troops of all arms constituted the inaugural parade, and the governors of nearly a score of states participated in the march from the capitol to the White House, to pass in review before its great portals and again give physical evidence of the solidarity of the American commonwealth. The president's escort to the capitol consisted of one troop of the Third cavalry, one troop of mounted police an honor guard of eight G. A. R. veterans. The troops formed in the vicinity of the capitol while the plaza ceremonies were in progress and at their conclusion, and as soon as the president had left the head of the procession, moved down the hill and broke into the broad expanse of the avenue. Inauguration Day dawned fair and cold in Washington. A misty sun hung over the eastern horizon but there was a hint of rain in the air from the rapidly rising temperature. The weather forecaster "hoped" there will be no rain until the ceremonies incident to inducing President Coolidge and Chas. G. Dawes into office are completed, but he was not certain. A moderate breeze prevailed, just strong enough to keep the flags fast flew from public building flapping lazily. Pennsylvania-ave from the White House to the capitol, and all the rest of the city for that matter, was ablaze with red, white and blue bunting, intermingled with the blue and buff of the Continental army, which are the official inaugural colors. Work continued until late last INAUGUAL PROGRAM WASHINGTON, March 4.—This is the inaugural program: 10:30 a.m.—General Dawes leaves Willard hotel for the White House. 11 a.m.—President Coolidge and General Dawes, accompanied by committee of congress and cavalry escort, leave White House for Capitol. 11:15 a.m.—Arriving at Capitol, president goes to president's room to sign bills; General Dawes goes to vice-president's room in senate wing. 11:30 a.m.—Senate recesses until 11:15 a.m. House adjourns sine die. 11:45 a.m.—President and vice president-elect enter senate chamber, followed by house members and other distinguished guests. 11:50 a.m. — Vice-president Dawes sworn in.

WHEATLEY'S FATE IN JURY'S HANDS A jury including three women late today was deliberating over the guilt of Charles B. Wheatley, who, until arrested on a charge of forgery, was city editor of the Santa Ana Register. The jury was given the case shortly after 2 o'clock by Superior Judge Z. B. West. INAUGURATION IS SIMPLEST EVEN (Continued From Page One) In conformity with this plea, he said, America should here to the world court, as a tical exhibition of American ingness to subscribe to justice procedure in the settling of national disputes. But, he declared, the U.S. can contribute most to peace and security and state of the world by "maintaining position of political detachment and independence." "This position," he said, "be made more and more clear our relations with all four countries. We are at peace all of them. Our program is to oppress, but always to assuke. "We have made great conditions to the settlement of co-cious differences in both E. Asia and Asia. But there is a very nite point beyond which we can go. We can only help those help themselves." From this dealing with international affairs on a broad, good plane, the president turns home problems. These he with in the same manner, acting always the need for less more enforcement of existing and non-interference by the armament with legitimate buse. The collection of more than are absolutely require run an orderly, efficient government, he said, was simply a clos of legalized larceny." "The time is arriving," he cleared, "when we can have free tax reduction, when we must tax reform." "The method of raising nues ought not to impede ness; it ought to encourage am opposed to extremely rates, because they produce or no revenue, because they are bad for the country, and, if because they are wrong. "We cannot finance the try, we cannot improve social distractions through any system justice, even if we attempt WHEATLEY'S FATE IN JURY'S HANDS A jury including three women late today was deliberating over the guilt of Charles B. Wheatley, who, until arrested on a charge of forgery, was city editor of the Santa Ana Register. The jury was given the case shortly after 2 o'clock by Superior Judge Z. B. West. He is specifically accused of forging a warrant for $5322 drawn to a Los Angeles tractor dealer, and of attempting unsuccessfully to pass it two years ago. Identity of the man who appeared with the warrant was not definitely established as a false mustache was used to disguise the alleged forger. Wheatley was the only witness in his defense. He declared he never saw the warrant until arrested. Cross examination consisted of one question. Wheatley replied in the affirmative when he was asked by C. N. Mozley, deputy district attorney, if he ever had been convicted of a felony. His attorney, Clyde Bishop, in his argument then launched an attack on the district attorney's office for causing his client's arrest. The prior conviction, which he described as the "one mistake of a young man who slipped," was being dug up again to face an innocent man, he maintained. He derided the district attorney's office for bringing into the trial the name of Mrs. Cora Wheatley, his wife, who formerly was county statistician. The insinuation thus was made, Bishop contended that Mrs. Wheatley was involved. Mozley and Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson told the jury the evidence was almost entirely circumstantial, that to their minds everything pointed to Wheatley's guilt, and commented on the testimony by Milton Carleton, Los Angeles hand-writing expert, who declared that the writing on the forged warrant without question was that of Wheatley. "Copy" taken from the Register office on which Wheatley had written on exhibit. PAVING CO. PUTS EXPERT ON STAND Dust from the Bean and Cornwall grove he analyzed is not that emitted from the plant of the Los Angeles Paving Co.,| Dr. L. W. Case of Los Angeles, expert chemist today told Judge F. C. Drumm who is hearing the suit brought by Charles Bean and George Cornwall for $17,500 damages alleged done to their groves. Judge Drumm and attorneys for LA HABRA SEEK SEWER CONTROL Contract for a joint La Fullerton sewer, similar to entered into by Fullerton and centia, was discussed last nigh Fullerton trustees. La Habra trees appeared before the ton board and said that La was willing to bear 65 pts. of tax reduction, when we must tax reform. "The method of raising nues ought not to impede rates, because they produce or no revenue, because the bad for the country, and, if because they are wrong. "We cannot finance the try, we cannot improve social ditions through any system justice, even if attempt flictit it on the rich. "The wise and correct counsel follow in taxation and all economic legislation is NOT stroy those who have already cured success, but to create dions under which everyone have a better chance to be cessful. "The verdict of the countr been given on this question shall do well to heed it." Turning from taxation to enforcement, Mr. Coolidge ad ed to the nation for better ance of existing law. Whid did not mention specifically prohibition laws, it was ea that he had these in mind. "The first rule for the gul of a citizen is obedience to he said. "While there may be the high intelligence who violate law at times, the barbarians the defective always violate Those who disregard the r society ... are treading tha leads back to the jungle.

The legions whends forth are armed, not the sword, but with the cross higher state to which she the allegiance of all manh not of human but of divine." "She cherishes no purpose to merit the favor of Alr God." The president finished his address at 1:43 p.m., it having longer than anticipated. He immediately became the center of a group of well-wishers. The distinguished guests on the platform crowded about to shake his hand. Among the first was Senator Curtis of Kansas. The president gravely acknowledged the congratulations and then, while the band struck up a march, he donned his high hat and with Mrs. Coolidge left the platform. He was driven directly to the White House, there to review the modest parade that was a part of this modest inaugural. The presidential party returned to the White House at 2:06 p.m. A buffet luncheon was served while the inaugural parade formed at the Capitol and started down the avenue. STOKES RELATES START OF STRIFE CHICAGO, March 4.—W. E. D. Stokes, 73, New York millionaire, told a jury in the court of Judge Wm. Gemmill today the beginning of the rift in the married life of himself and Helen Elwood Stokes, whose name he is charged with conspiring to defame. It was the story of a nurse that his wife was untrue, a similar story from Mrs. Stokes' maid and the promise of a chauffeur that for $5000 he would give the millionaire so much evidence that he "could get a divorce without judge jury or court," what caused him to make the Chicago investigation which culminated in the present trial, he said. SUSPEND SENTENCE Carl Simmons, living near Anaheim, entered a plea of guilty this morning in Judge French's court on the charge of disturbing the peace, sworn to by Henry Kruzenan, who said Simmons came to his house and wanted to whip him. Simmons was fined $10 and sentenced to 60 days in jail, the jail sentence being suspended pending good behavior. Leon J. Regan, charged with vagrancy, received a 30-day suspended sentence. PAVING CO. PUTS EXPERT ON STAND Dust from the Bean and Cornwall grove he analyzed is not that emitted from the plant of the Los Angeles Paving Co.,|Dr. L. W. Case of Los Angeles, expert chemist today told Judge F. C. Drumm who is bearing the suit brought by Charles Bean and George Cornwall for $17,500 damages alleged done to their groves. Judge Drumm and attorneys for both sides went to the two groves for an inspection early this morning, before the sixth day of the trial was resumed, and stood in the orchards while the asphaltic paving materials plant was put in operation. The defense claims that "clouds of dust" plaintiff witnesses declared they saw coming from the plant in reality are 95 per cent steam, and that the balance, instead of being injurious to citrus trees, would serve as a valuable fertilizer. Dr. Case, still on the stand at noon, brought powerful magnifying apparatus into court and from specimens submitted to him made drawings from what he saw. He previously had qualified as an expert witness. K. E. Tipton, for years foreman of one unit of the Bastanchury ranch, was on the stand later yesterday and early today for cross-examination. Answering technical questions, he persisted in his contention that dust of any kind upon leaves of trees would have little effect upon the fruit, unless by it sunlight was excluded over a prolonged period of time, and unless the dust completely covered entire portions of the leaves. The defense expects to complete its case by tomorrow afternoon. 60 GERMANS DIE IN POWDER BLAST RHEINSDORF, Anholt, Germany, March 4.—Sixty workers were killed today and many injured in an explosion which wrecked a factory where explosives were manufactured. LA HABRA SEEK SEWER CONTROL Contract for a joint La Fullerton sewer, similar to entered into by Fullerton and centia, was discussed last night Fullerton trustees.

EXPECT PROBE VERDICT TODAY (Continued From Page One) said there is 'half a grand's on that bill' meaning $500. Hurley said he told Smith not to pay too much attention to this and set it down to gossip retained by the two attaches. Charles Wilkinson the sergeant at arms, and Arthur Oremus, the clerk, testified before the committee yesterday. The committee expects to conclude its investigation today with the testimony of Assemblyman Eddie Smith. CAPITOL, SACRAMENTO, Mar. 4—The verdict of the legislative committee probing charges of extortion lodged against two members of the state legislature and former Assemblyman William R. Brackett of Oakland by Chinese herballists, will be known some time today, it was forecast by members of the investigating body when the trial was resumed this morning. Having heard the testimony of former Assemblyman Brackett, who emphatically denied demanding bribes to kill the Chinese herb bill, the committee prepared to open its final hearing today with Sen. Edgar Hurley of Alameda-co on the stand. Assemblyman Edward Smith, also of Alameda-co author of the alleged "cinch" bill, was scheduled to follow Sen. Hurley. Reports current in the capitol this morning were to the effect that the legislative committee would probably dispose of the case by referring it to the Alameda-co grand jury for investigation. Brackett who was charged by Dr. Fong Wan of Oakland and other Chinese with acting as the "go-between" in the bribe case, told the committee that the sums of money which he requested from the Chinese were to cover his expenses as a lobbyist against the bill. He absolved Senator Hurley of any connection with the matter, stating that Hurley accompanied him when he called on Merrill's 421 North Sycamore Unpreceded Don't Miss Th Thursday = 1 BUSINESS IS GOOD HERE take care of the increased demand stage of the following items while Apron Dresses $ The method of raising revenue ought not to impede business; it ought to encourage it. I opposed to extremely high taxes because they produce little revenue, because they are for the country, and, finally, cause they are wrong.

The wise and correct course to show in taxation and all other economic legislation is NOT to deny those who have already seized success, but to create conditions under which everyone will be a better chance to be successful. The verdict of the country has given on this question. We do well do it." Turning from taxation to law enforcement, Mr. Coolidge appealed to the nation for better observance of existing law. While he did not mention specifically the exhibition laws, it was evident that he had these in mind. The first rule for the guidance of citizen is obedience to law," said. While there may be those of intelligence who violate at times, the barbarian and defective always violate it, who disregard the rule of etiquity... are treading the way leads back to the jungle." The president terminated his address with a plea for tollon—"the fundamental pre-obedient to its conscience." America seeks no earthly empire built on blood and force. No ambition, no temptation is her to thought of foreign minions. The legions which she da forth are armed, not with sword, but with the cross. The her state to which she seeks allegiance of all mankind is of human but of divine origin. She cherishes no purpose save merit the favor of Almighty God. A HABRA SEEKS SEWER CONTRACT Contract for a joint La Habra-lerton sewer, similar to that entered into by Fullerton and Platia, was discussed last night by Fullerton trustees. La Habra trus-a appeared before the Fuller-board and said that La Habra is willing to bear 65 per cent the cost for such a project if that the legislative committee would probably dispose of the case by referring it to the Alameda-co grand jury for investigation. Brackett who was charged by Dr. Fong Wan of Oakland and other Chinese with acting as the "go-between" in the bribe case, told the committee that the sums of money which he requested from the Chinese were to cover his expenses as a lobbyist against the bill. He absolved Senator Hurley of any connection with the matter, stating that Hurley accompanied him when he called on Fong Wan merely to recommend him as a lobbyist. Replying to charges by Fong Wan that Smith Hurley and L. E. Hood, attorney for the state board of Pharmacy in Alameda-co, were to receive "cuts" from the sum to be raised by the Chinese, Bracket said he mentioned a division of the money only in outlining legitimate means of defeating the measure. He said he suggested a lump sum of $5,000 for his services as a lobbyist, $500 of which he planned to use to cover expenses and $2,000 for attorney fees. ASK MORE TAXES UPON MOTORISTS SACRAMENTO, Mar. 4—The complete majority report of Gov. Richardson's highway investigating committee, submitted to legislature today, contains a definite recommendation that the new construction program be financed by a direct tax on motorists. Either an increased gasoline tax or a graduated weight tax on motor vehicles could be used, the report states, but regardless of what method is determined upon at least $10,000,000 per year should be provided for primary construction. The minority report of the governor's committee signed by E. E. East of Los Angeles, who boiled the final hearing of the committee, differs radically from the findings of the majority, disapproving any further tax on motorists and recommending that additional money for highways be raised by bond issues. For this purpose, East said, the state should be divided into two districts — northern and southern — each district floating its own bonds and building its own highways. Main trunk lines, or interstate roads should receive first consideration the minority member states.

GOAT DOES STUFF AT LEGION POST One of the largest crowds for a long time was in attendance at last night's meeting of Anaheim Post No. 72, American Legion when ten "recruits" were initiated. Commander John F. Robinson of Huntington Beach was present and invited the members and the general public to attend a meeting at Huntington Beach next Monday night at the Civic auditorium at which time Past National Commander John R. Quinn will be the chief speaker. The initiation ceremony had proceeded very nicely and things had quieted down when suddenly an argument started amongst a couple of members ending up with several of the new members (and incidentally some old ones) diving for the door or under the tables, when firearms were introduced. Being loaded only with blanks and part of the entertainment the frightened boys were soon induced to return and assist in closing the meeting with a chicken tamale pie which was deftly served by the Company cook and K. P.'s. Those initiated last night were: Thos. G. Tolbert; E. Jack Corn; John Adams; Ellis W. Gaddis; E. Cloyes Evans; Floyd J. Lyons; R. W. Marvin; George P. Holden; J. Clark Chamberlain and W. W. Walker. Another big time is promised in the near future as those initiated have promised to get even if they have to get even with new members.
