SELECT INSANITY FULLERTON RECORDER RESIGNS Resents Interference By Certain Members of City Council Judge Wm. French, of Fullerton, known far and wide as a terror to bootleggers, announced to Lillian, In Court, Sheds Real Tears NEW YORK, March 31—Heart Drama, "The pulse throbb of tremendous situations," is being enacted as fervently within the narrow confines of Judge Mack's Federal Courtroom as ever it was in Hollywood, Lillian Gish has shed real tears. As Charles H. Duell, Jr., who is suing the actress to compel her to fulfill a contract in which she bound herself to act for him only, testified that before something or other happened they had been engaged, Lillian put her face in her hands and sobbed. The "official" engagement came in June, 1923, Duell said, their feeling for each other having been styled "unofficial" prior to that time because the producer's first wife had not obtained a complete divorce from him. CLAIM FRAUD IN RAILWAY MERGER Confiscation of Property Charged by Minority Stockholders RICHMOND, Va., March 31—Fraud and confiscation of property was charged against the Van Sweringen Brothers Cleveland by a dozen or mo Resents Interference By Certain Members of City Council Judge Wm. French, of Fullerton, known far and wide as a terror to bootleggers, announced today he was tendering his resignation as city recorder tonight to Fullerton Board of Trustees, effective May 1. Judge French gave the reason for his action that he was hampered by the present board in the enforcement of the liquor laws. He says that certain trustees have tried to dictate to him that he must fine bootleggers only $100, coming at him thru a third person. "A little fine like that means nothing to a bootleger," declares French, taking the stand that he will resign before he'll do it. The rift between Judge French and the board is but an aftermath of the "wet" and "dry" issue fought out between the board, and former Chief of Police Arthur Eells, which ended in the discharge of Eells, the principal boss of contention in this present trouble dating back to the arrest of Arthur F. Butler, an employee of San Diego-co. Jan. 24, and his subsequent fine by Judge French of $500. Butler entered a plea of guilty to possession of liquor, and officers who fade the arrest testified that he had about a pint and a half in his car, with glasses and bottle of water for a chaser, being equipped to serve it by the glass from the machine. But he had been in the employ of San Diego-co. 15 years, and stood high in the ranks of the "wets," according torench, who said certain Fullerton trustees desired that he be left off for $100. French refused to do it, and that started the trouble he says. He had considered resigning also as justice of the peace, but has decided to retain this post. He has been city recorder six years. Pines collected this month in the recorder's office amounted to $1,680, the greater amount of which, it is said, was for liquor offenses.

DRAFT BILL TO REDUCE TAXES WASHINGTON, Mar. 31 — A bill to reduce taxes $500,000,000 is being draffed by Senator King of Utah, Dem., for introduction when congress convenes next winter to tackle the tax question. The measure would reduce taxes more than the Mellon plan, King said, announcing the bill today Under its provisions, the aggregate maximum tax, including normal and surtax, would not exceed 25 per cent. Explaining the huge cut which his bill provides, King said it was to compel government economy by reducing available money in the treasury. Annual government expenditures now aggregate $4,000,000,000 directly and $1,000,000,000 indirectly, King said. Characterizing this as "disgraceful," King said by cutting revenues down to $3,000,-000,000, or better yet, $2,750,-000,000, there would be simply no money to spend except for essentials and government economy would become a fact. The bill would abolish all nuisance taxes, lower the normal and surtaxes and eliminate many of the taxes on business. King called at the White House today, but said he discussed world court and disarmament conference.

EARLY TRIAL OF SHEPHERD ASKED CHICAGO, Mar. 31—Immediate trial of Wm. D. Shepherd on the charge that he murdered his wealthy ward, Billy McClinckow, was demanded by State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe today, at the reopening of the defense fight for bail. William Scott Stewart, chief defense attorney, asked Judge Jacob Hopkins to place Dr. Herman Bundesen, city health commissioner, on the stand. "I can show thru Dr. Bundesen that it was impossible for Shepherd or anyone else to obtain typhoid fever germs from William Scott Stewart." NOT ONLY Will Oppose Efforts of Own Attorneys in That Direction SAN FRANCISCO, March 31—Selection of a jury to decide whether Dorothy Ellingson, 16-year-old matricide, is insane was started this afternoon. Twenty-three veniremen appeared in Judge Harold Louderback's court on summons. Twelve will be chosen to determine if the girl is of unsound mind or if she is mentally capable of standing trial for murder. The jury selected to hear the murder case against the former jazz girl was excused until Monday. If Dorothy has been found insane by that date, the murder jury will be dismissed. If she is declared sane, trial on the slaying charge will be started. Dorothy today declared she intended to fight efforts of her attorneys to have her adjudged insane. "I'm not crazy and I'm not going to be called crazy by any jury," the red-haired girl snapped. "There's no need to try to have me branded crazy, for I'm not going to go through with it. I'm perfectly sane and don't want anyone to think otherwise." Dorothy's declaration places her in the peculiar position of sympathizing with the prosecution in her trial. Her attorneys will attempt to convince the new jury that the jazz girl is mentally incompetent and irresponsible and therefore should be committed to an asylum in stead of standing trial for murdering her mother. But if Dorothy upholds her declaration she will oppose the action of her counsel evidently preferring to face the murder trial as a sound-minded girl being adjudged insane.

The senate committee of agriculture today reported back to the upper house the Johnson bill proposing a two-cent tax on oleomargarine which was passed by the assembly a week ago. The measure bears a favorable recommendation from the committee. Dairymen throughout the state appearring for the passage of the measure last night declared the farmers and dairymen were being driven to bankruptcy through high costs and demanded further protection from the inroads made on their products through the sale of low price substitutes. Only one dissenting vote was cast when the committee decided to recommend that the bill be finally passed by the senate. Considerable opposition to the measure from the oleomargarine interests which have consistently threatened a referendum was evidenced at the meeting. Another victory for the farmers is seen in the action of the senate judiciary committee which last night endorsed a bill by Sen. J. M. Inman. This measure, sponsored by residents of Owens Valley, would permit one municipality to pay reparations to another. The bill is an offspring of the recent controversy between the Owens Valley and the City of Los Angeles over the alleged damage done the farmers of the former section through the city's purchase of water from the Owens river.
