W. Warner of Huntington Beach was made defendant in a civil suit filed by county today in Justice K. E. Morrison's court at Santa Ana, to recover $150 he is alleged to have collected for office rent while given free quarters in city hall at Huntington Beach. The suit, drawn by district attorney's office, marks the first action taken in compliance with resolution of supervisors two weeks ago. The supervisors also authorized Dist. Aty. A. P. Nelson to take steps to force Judge Warner from office, but all plans to bring onster proceedings with rent controversy as basis of proceedings have been dropped, it was authoritatively stated. Alleged illegal collection of rent does not constitute mispropriation of fees, which would have been charged if district attorney's office brought ouster proceedings, it was stated, and prosecutor is powerless to take action against Judge Warner on this basis, it was added. Criminal proceedings are possible, it was stated, but as yet no citizen at Huntington Beach has appeared to prosecute and this possibility also has "gone by board," it was understood.

Judge Warner recently was deposed as city recorder, making preparations to fight all the charges against him, it is known. Only recently he is said to have stated that he had been asked to resign, but that he refused on ground there was no reason to justify his taking this step. He also is said to have added that he had arrangement whereby he was to collect rent.

This offer is made in the first place as a testimony to the unshaken confidence which I have in you, and in the second place, because I believe you are qualified to conduct that office for the public welfare. "I wish to express my great regret that any action of mine should have brought you into a political controversy. My regret is all the more keen because you made patriotic response at a great deal of personal sacrifice, when I sought you out without any action on your part, and asked you again to enter the public service of your country in which on several previous occasions you had already attained to great eminence. This disappointment is only modified by the fact that from those who have refused confirmation come the strongest assertions that they would gladly approve you for any other position of trust and responsibility." With kind regards and deepest appreciation, I am. "Very truly yours, CALVIN COOLIDGE." Warren's letter to the president: "Dear Mr. President—Your confidence in me was deeply appreciated when you evidenced it by tendering me so important a place in your cabinet. I am again indebted to you for your renewed expression of confidence in your note of March 16, proposing to tender me a recess appointment as attorney general."

EXPOSITION SACRAMENT ASSEMBLY Oakland can bill he intends legislature, alleged with Chinese he BOARD WILL NOT PURCHASE CENTER County supervisors would not appropriate at present $25,000 to say nothing of $60,000 to $80,000, for a county recreation center, Supervisor W. M. Schumacher declared here today. Whether voters would authorize any such expenditure through loan lage remains to be seen. With problems such as adequate and certain water supply and improvement of county harbor to face, many Anahelmerns are extremely doubtful whether the county in the present state of things would back any such proposal. Despite general sympathy with the proposed site between here and Santa Ana, endorsed at the recent meeting here of representatives of C. s. of C., and County Farm Bureau, practical considerations are likely to block for some months realization of the scheme. While Schumacher would particular time when funds again would be available if land for center were to be purchased by county, he declared money would have to be drawn from funds of next year.

Finney re-committed his efforts to collect rent. REPORT SHEPHERD FAIMAN INDICTED (Continued from Page One) CHICAGO, March 17—Dr. C. Palman, outstanding state witness in the McClintock death probe, was branded as medical charlatan and his school, the National University of Science, as a "diploma mill." In a formal statement issued by the American Medical association here today. The statement declares that the records of the association said to be the most complete in the country, fail to disclose that Palman ever was graduated from a reputable medical college or had ever been licensed to practice medicine in any state in the United States. "Altho Palman, in various pieces of advertising matter, styles himself 'Ph B. M. D. Ltd,' our records failed to show any basis for such degrees,'" the statement reads. "We have one of Palman's professional card on which is written the date, July 18, 1923, and which bears the statement: 'President of the National University of Serene.' This institution has no standing among reputable medical schools." "The following item regarding it appeared in the American Medical Association's Journal, Jan. 5, 1824, under the caption "Illinois in Diploma Mill Intrigue." With letter from C. s. Palman editor of the Pharmaceutical Act to the postmaster general recently, he stated that they have reliable information that the National University of Science run by Dr. C. C. Palman, listed in the telephone directory as an osteopath, peddled diplomas in medicine, pharmacy, osteopathy and dentistry to graduates of correspondence courses."

Palman, head of the National University of Sciences, had confessed he conspired with William D. Shepherd, the youth's guardian, to remove the latter thru the medium of "scientific murder." Miss Pope, according to friends, left Los Angeles, where she was located recently, when physicians ordered her into complete retirement to recuperate from the shock of her fiance's death. I shall always like to remember that the political controversy which has arisen concerning this position has not in the least affected your faith in me, and I have been apprised that those who know me fully shared in your belief. "Had I not known that I could serve you and the government with all my power whatever they may be. I naturally would not have accepted your offer of the position. But I am not willing to have prolonged a political controversy that might lesson your opportunities for full usefulness to the nation, and possibly interfere with your making wholly effective your policies. "I cannot therefore in fairness to you and the Republican party refrain from declining your offer of a recess appointment and I hope that you will make another nomination for confirmation. I am, my dear Mr. President. Wafffully yours." President Coolidge abandoned his fight for Warren with great reluctance and only in the face of senatorial opposition to the Detroit man that was unflinching and unyielding. Praea Coolidge's decision to appoint Sargent to the post was communicated to a few senators only a short time before the nomination was sent to the captolot. He narratively asked them, it is understood whether any other nominee he might select would be liable to which Warren was subjected and upon their assurance that he would not be, the nomination was sent up. The reaction in the senate to Sargent's nomination was immediately favorable and it was evident that there was general satisfaction around that the history-making controversy over Warren was at last at an end. Senators Reed, Democrat of Missouri and Borah, Republican of Idaho, two of the leaders in the fight against Warren, immediately declared that they knew nothing detrimental to Sargent and they anticipated no difficulties in his confirmation. The nomination was formally referred to the judiciary committee within a few minutes after it was received. Under the rules it must lay over until tomorrow, and then it will be voted upon. Under this program, the judiciary committee will meet and report out the nomination; it will be passed tomorrow and the special session of the 68th senate, which has already made history in the 12 days it has been in se- SANTA ANA MAN HELD FOR DRINKING A.

Elmer entered a plea of guilty this morning before Judge Kuchel to the charge of intoxication and was fined $50, which he paid. Joe Becerra, Mexican, was also arrested yesterday by Officers Whalen, Woodruff and Looney on the charge of selling liquor. He is alleged to have sold approximately two pints. He entered a plea of not guilty before Judge Kuchel and his hearing was set for April 3 with ball at $800. Francisco Sandival and John Hernandez, arraigned before Judge Kuchel yesterday on charges of possession of liquor, were fined $100 each. P. M. Markung was fixed $150 on the same charge. S. Torres was fined $50 on the charge of intoxication and Joe Rub, $100 on the same charge. Ruis drove into the Santa Fe railway, wrecking the car, it is said. The other of payment major surrender of the session following action of assembly committee on federal relations last night in reporting out with favorable recommendation Finney resolution calling for ratification of Colorado river compact with reservations. Proponents of so-called Herbert Hoover resolution, "tabled" by committee, drew plans this morning to block action on Finney resolution, while backers of ratification with reservations were determined to secure early action on resolution. Finney resolution provides ratification of compact shall not become effective until California, Arizona and Nevada have been assured sample water supply under project by government authorization of construction of huge storage dam. Another big fight loomed in lower house today as result of action of assembly revenue and taxation committee in reporting out without recommendation Hartranft constitutional amendment to tax publicly owned public utilities.

Furse, Los Angeles attorney, commending J. C. Looney, motorcycle officer, for courtesy. The letter follows: "While driving thru your town yesterday, we were stopped by Officer J. C. Looney, who cautioned us about driving past a certain crossing. I wish to commend Mr. Looney for his courteous and gentlemanly conduct, and assure you that if there were more peace officers of this type, it would not be difficult to secure the co-operation of the driving public. I feel that such conduct should not be unjustified." The nomination was formally referred to the judiciary committee within a few minutes after it was received. Under the rules it must lay over until tomorrow, and then it will be voted upon. Under this program, the judiciary committee will meet and report out the nomination, it will be passed tomorrow and the special session of the 89th senate, which has already made history in the 12 days it has been in session, will adjourn for the summer. Sargent is almost unkown in Washington officialdom, except that part which halls from Vermont and Massachusetts. There was, however, an unmistakable air of relief apparent in the senate on October 27th that the "Warren case" was ended. "I don't know anything about Mr. Sargent," said Sen. Boran, "but I understand he is an able lawyer in Vermont. And I do not anticipate any opposition to his confirmation." Mr. Sargent should be promptly confirmed unless something serious develops against him," said Sen. Reed, Democrat of Missouri. Public announcement of Sargent's name sent all official Washington scurrying to reference books. They found only a modest biography in "Who's Who." The new attorney general's full name is John Garibaldi Sargent. He was born in his home city of Ludlow, Vermont, in 1850, and graduated from Tufts College in the class of '87. He was married to Mary L. Gordon, of his home town the same year he graduated from college and hung out his shingle. He was not admitted to the bar until three years later, in 1890, and he became a member of the firm of Stickney, Sargent and Skelb. Sargent was states attorney for Winsor-co., in 1888-1900, secy of civil and military affairs of Valmont in 1900-1902, and in 1908 was elected to be attorney general of the state. He served until 1912 and for the last dozen years has been practicing his profession. There was but a slight flare-up when Sen. Cummings made the motion to send Sargent's name to the judiciary committee. It was done in open session and Sen. Norris Reprinted Nebraska, one of Warner Publications' sarcastically in to the senate rule Mother to Sleep In Girlhood Home Carrying out a promise to his mother to place her body beside that of her husband in St. Mark's cemetery, J.

Smith of Oakland can secured passage of a bill he introduced today in the legislature, the ingredients in the alleged witches' cauldron in which Chinese herb specialists concoct WOULD ELECT CAL. BD. OF EDUCATION SACRAMENTO, March 17.—A counter move by the educational forces of the state, embodying the proposal of the administration to make the state superintendent of public instruction, appointive, but designed to remove all branches of the state department of education from control of the governor, was launched in the legislature today. The new plan submitted by Senator Herbert C. Jones of San Jose and Senator M. B. Harris of Prepao, takes the form of a constitutional amendment to make members of the state board of education elective and empower them to name the superintendent of public instruction. "This plan would do more to eliminate politics in the administration of the schools than any other measure considered in recent years," asserted Senator Jones, "and it has the support of the present state superintendent and the majority of the teachers of the state." Backers of the elective board of education and appolitive superintendent plan are preparing to wage an energetic campaign against the proposal of Assemblyman Charles H. Deuel of Chico to make the state superintendent appointive by a board of education named by the governor and will offer their program as a substitute for the Deuel scheme.
