O'Nell was arrested early today charged with attempting to attack Miss Blanche La Fleur. Miss La Fleur complained to police that a strange young man gave her a "lift." Instead of driving downtown, the man took her to a secluded spot near Laurel Canyon. There he drew a gun, the girl said, and tried to force her into a vacant house, after "frisking" her valuables. She succeeded in eluding him, she said, and hid in a clump of bushes, writing down the number of his license plate with a lip-stick. Police took the notation, COUNTY MA FILE TEST ACTION Supervisors May Decide Today on Collection of Liquor Fines What action the county Orange will take relatives to demanding that incorporated e EURORIE Attitude of Coolidge Reflected by Speech of Houghton WASHINGTON, May 5.—President Coolidge's disappointment over recent European developments seeming to leopardize reconstruction and his determination to throw American's weight into the balance of peace, were behind the warning to Europe, voiced by Ambassador Houghton at the London Pilgrimage dinner, according to informed circles here today. The parting of the ways has been reached, so far as the U. S. Government is concerned. Galilee there is now evidence forthcoming that European nations are ready to make sacrifices now in the interests of peace this government will withdraw its financial aid, officials said. President Coolidge belated various European nations are creating incentives for war and that too much money is being spent directly or indirectly for military purposes. While recognizing the right of such nations to conduct their own affairs he is unwilling for American money to contribute to another European war. Altho Mr. Coolidge's attitude on this question, has been made known to representatives of foreign governments here, it seemed easy to the administration that such an appeal and warning be made also to public opinion in Europe. Houghton's address was chosen for the purpose. Since Houghton went directly from the White House to London, the administration knew it was clear to all that the ambassador was acting as personal spokesman of the president. The Secretary Kelliog and other cabinet members declined to comment directly on Houghton's speech today, it was evident that the warning expressed the attitude and considered judgment of the administration as a whole. Reports from American representatives abroad indicated the election of Marshal Von Hindenburg as president of Germany has intensified the war spirit throughout Europe, which had previously been checked through the co-operative effort of the Dawes plan. Houghton's warning was not only to Germany but also to France and the former allies, according to informed circles here. It is intended to block the belligerent minority in Germany and to prevent other nations using Hindenburg's election as a premature excuse for treating Germany as a ASK ADDITION FOR HARBOR AT HAWAIL HONOLULU, Hawaii, May 5.—Attacked by an enemy power in the far away Pacific, the American navy would not have a safe retreat at Pearl Harbor, as was originally intended, according to conclusions drawn today following an inspection trip of the base. Congress has been asked for a $5,900,000 appropriation to make possible dredging the channel entrance to a 45 foot depth to enable America largest capital ships, of peace or war time construction, to put in for shelter. At present, it was explained, the channel is too shallow to permit the nation's largest ships to cross the bar, the harbor being originally designed for smaller craft. Landing of the marines at Halliewa and Awa, which brot the recent maneuvers to a sudden termination would have been more difficult had there been more cruising area within the harbor it was pointed out. A new danger to future activities at the harbor is seen in the increasing number of samps swarming about, with fishing privileges extending far into the harbor. Years ago the monarchy granted the natives large estates but they were in turn sold to eastern companies, which leased the fishing rights to aliens.

Coast guard officials announced that the dry navy would enclose the fleet until the rum runners hoisted the white flag and that any liquor laden ship that attempted to communicate with the shore would be fired on.
