STRENUOUS FIGHT OVER OLEO BILL SACRAMENTO, April 2—Voleing strenuous objections to the "methods used by the proponents in snaking this measure through the committee." Senator Roy Pellom, San Francisco, today attempted to amend the Johnson Bill on oleomargarine so as to strike out the two cent tax clause. Debate on the bill, which passed the legislature several weeks ago, and given its favorable recommendation of the senate agricultural committee, was opened by Senator Frank Boggs, of Stockton shortly after the upper house was called to order. Fellom, in speaking for his amendment, accused the dairy supporters of using "underhand" methods in seeing that the measure was referred to a friendly committee in the senate. He declared the bill would place tax upon the poor that was "wrong, unnecessary and injurious." Lieut. Governor C. C. Young disagreed with Senator Pellom's statement regarding the reference of the bill to the senate committee on agriculture, by stating that it was the chair and not the proponents of the measure who referred the bill. The Swing-Johnson bill, providing for the formation of a metropolitan water district among the counties in the southern part of the state, was scheduled for a special hearing before ten senate committees on municipal corporations this afternoon. This measure would permit the cities and counties of the south to combine in working toward completion of a plan to use water from the Colorado river. Membership in the district would not be compulsory. An indication of the final vote on passage of the oleomargarine bill was seen in the action to table Senator Pellom's amendment. Vote PRETTY REFUGEE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE SEATTLE, April 3—Despondent and heartbroken at being refused permission to join her lover in the United States, Rafft Bognovski, pretty 20-year-old Russian girl, sought solace in death at the U.S. immigration station. Mrs. Dorothy Carver, nurse, found her today nearly dead from poison. Physicians say her recovery is doubtful. The suicide attempt followed a bitter fight against the fate that has pursued the girl since the Russian revolution drove her family from Moscow, where she was with a family of Russian bankers. Her lover George Pinofeev, a young Russian student of the U.C. at Berkeley, preceded her to the U.S. from Harbin, Manchuria. Her brother was killed fighting the reda. Her father, mother and a sister died in the days of famine that followed their flight from the revolutionaries. Finally, the young girl reached Shanghai and by saving her penies and with assistance from Pinofeev, she obtained passage money to Seattle. She posed as a student and said she intended to enter the U.C. at the immigration station here it was learned that she intended marrying Pinofeev and becoming a permanent resident, according to the immigration commission. Thursday she was told she would have to return to China since the laws barred her entrance. The poison had been carried by the girl since she left Russia, she confessed to hospital attendants—to be used only when life held no more hope. Texas Death Chair Has First Victim HUNTSVILLE, Texas, April 3 Superior Judge Z. B. West late yesterday denied both Joseph Szarfinski, formerly of Anaheim and his wife a divorce after hearing testimony bearing on drinking and asserted elicit relations with another man on the part of Mrs. Szarfinski. The wife accused her husband of excessive drinking, but he admitted this. The court, however ruled this was not cause for divorce if cruel acts were not a direct result or if Szarfinski's business as professional golfer were not affected. In his charges Szarfinski declared another man, named Granite entered his home and replaced him. "I think our home wouldn't have been broken up if Granite kept out," he testified, and as he said this Mrs. Szarfinski picked up an empty whiskey bottle her cousin had brought into court and fumbled with it. Spectators took this to mean that she felt liquor had played the part alluded to.
