'TASGDNENURDER
RESULTED.
IN A MZSIR!AL..
Evenly Divided Jury Was
/, Discharged AT Mid
{ night

a
Criminal court adjourned this
morning until Monday without hay-
ing accomplished any business due
to difficulty in securing a jury out
OF the number present.
The only matters Of concern
which came up for discussion was
whether or not Attorneys Harry
Shaw and Curt Amos should have
written into the clerks record the
fact that the defense took exception
to the dischargtng Of the jury last
night at midnight by Judge Sho-
walter in the case Of the State vs.!
Angelo Damico charged with the
killing OF Frank Tascone. Judge
showalter said he didn't believe
this could be done but that the de-
fense might prepare an order stat
ing the exceptions. Tho attorneys
SAID they would do this.
The question Of whether or NOT
Angelo Damico should be acquitted
|of his selfconfessed crime was not
determined by the jury last night
though 1t was close to midnight be-
fore Il was certain there was little
chance OF an agreement. Several
times the jury came back for more
Instructions and each time more
difficulty was experienced by 1t in
coming TO an unanimous opinion.
Half were for manslaughter and
half for involuntary manslaughter.
The first carried with It a punlsh-
ment OF from one to five years and
the second is a misdemeanor bear
ing punishment Of either a fine or
one year.
There was much misunderstand-
ing this morning regarding Just
what did happen which caused
Judge Showalter at midnight TO dis
charge the jury with tho words to
them that the State had received
Information that on the jury was a
man who was a close friend OF the
defendant. The case therefore re-
mains unsettled and Will be tried
again, though, hardly during this

MAY STOP USE
 MEDICAL BEER
New Volstead Bill Approved By House Committee; Will
 Be Reported Today

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Vol stead bill, designed to prevent use of medical beer, was agreed on today by the house judiciary committee, which will report it to the house, probably tomorrow, with a request for its i'm mediate passage. Prohibition leaders declared there were votes enough to put it through before the bureau of internal revenue could make effective proposed regulations by which beer could be prescribed for the ailing un- der ruling of former Attorney Gen. eral Palmer.
 Although the measure would make the prohibition enforcement act more drastic, representatives of the drug and flavOring extract trades won their fight against a section requiring the medicating or denaturing of alcohol prior to its withdrawal from ware houses and distilleries for maintaining purposes.
 Chairman Volstead, by direction of the committee, introduced a redraft of his bill, slightly modified in some particulars. The section prohibiting importation and manufacture of liquor until stocks now held under govern ment supervision have been material ly reduced or exhausted, was retained

SENATE PASSES
 B|G NAVAL BILL
Sharp Clashes In Conference Over Increases And Borah
 Proposal Looked For

WASHINGTON, June 1.-Passage of the naval appropriation bill by the senate late today paved the way for what promises to be a sharp contest in conference between the senate and house over senate increases of S9S,- 100000 and the Borah amendment authorizing and requesting the presi- dent to call a naval disarmament con- ference of the United States, Great Britain and Japan.
 House sentiment is understood to be against the increase and it's leaders have indicated desire to broaden the Borah plan to include military as we'll as naval disarmament in a conference of many nations.
 As passed by the senate the bill carries S494.O0O, ,O0O as compared with $396 6,000 900 voted by the house. The senate vote was 54 to IT, the latter in- cluding five Republicans and five Democrats. Sixteen Democrats join ed with 3S Republicans in voting for passage.
 Almost three weeks of contest were required in the senate to dispose of the bill The economy drive against it netted reduction of but s2,500.0 0.0O0- $1,500. 900 by elimination of the com mittee amendment to start a new Pacific naval base at Alameda. Calif., and $1,000.O00 Topped off from trans portation and recruiting funds. Today a motion by Senator King, Democrat of Utah, to recommit the bill to committee with instructions to cut out $100 0.000. 900 was defeated, 43 to 25, the affirmative including 10 Republi- cans.

Blot Out Bolshevism In Mexico Once For All, Is Order Given
 Officials By President Obregon
Radical Outbreaks of Last Few Months Cannot Be Repeated And Must Not Be Allowed To Pass Unpunished, Says
 Executive Of Southern Republic In New Order

MEXICO CITY, June 1.-(By The Associated Press. l-President Obre- gon, in a circular directed last even- ing to the governors of all the states, described Bolshevists as persons act ing wholly outside the law and re- quested that all means and measures be utilized to prevent demonstrations of q serious nature by them.
 Citing the forcible entrance to the national palace during the administra- tion of Provisional President de la Huerta, the recent tragedy in Morelia and the radical invasion of the cham Der of deputies as evidences of ag- gressiveness on the part of the Bol- shevists, the president declared he felt called upon to define his attitude "once for all"
 The Mexican people in themselves are sovereign, he declared, but they cannot usurp the powers of the fed eral government or use violence to in- fluence government officials. Grant ing that the radicals have an ideal, he continued, such must be attained strictly within the law and with re- spect for all guarantees which our constitution gives
 Continuing, the circular said:
Bisbee daily review., 1921-06-02

The invasion of churches, and the committing in them of acts of violence constitute an attack on the freedom of worship. The revolution did not have as it's object anarchy nor the committing of acts of violence with impunity, but instead the obtaining of better economic, social and political conditions.
 These, however, must be gained within law and order"
 Urging state governors to proceed immediately against radical offenders and to prevent demonstrations. he as serted that the incidents of the past few months cannot be repeated, much less allowed to go unpunished." Or ders were given by the president to prohibit the flying of Bolshevist flags on public buildings.
 The presidential order of yesterday followed less drastic instructions along the same lines issued several weeks ago immediately following the Morelia tragedy. President Obregon also has ordered the expulsion of ap- proximately 2 foreigners alleged to be the leaders of the radical elements in Mexico.

 To Blame For Tragedy

 The investigation will begin imme- diately. as will one to be conducted by J. M. Wainwright. assistant sec retary of war. Wainwright left late today for Aberdeen. Previously. Gen eral Williams. chief of ordnance. had dispatched Major w. A. Borden and Captain c. H. NJ. Roberts to the scene to make an investigation. and the commanding officer at Aberdeen had appointed a local inquiry board.
 Major Borden brought the first de- tails of the disaster to the depart ment today in an oral report. In ad- vancing a theory of the cause of the explosion. he said:
 "The plane had been loaded with four bombs. The bomb on rack No. 1 had dropped from the rack once. An examination showed no apparent defect and the bomb was replaced IL dropped second time.
 Meanwhile the motor had been started and the airplane was being turned around. The blast from the propeller started the propellor on the bomb revolving. A certain nun Der oi revolutions of the bombs pro weller releases a plunger. The pro peller had apparently turned that noint when the tail skid-a piece Of metal attaches to the tail of the air plane. swung around and struck the bomb propeller.
 "The blow evidently was all that was required to drive the plunger in to the percussion cap attached to the fuse. The propeller had appar ently turned to point where the blow would have released the pIung CT. The explosion followed"
 Safety devices on the other three bombs prevented their discharge, fl the opinion of Major Borden.
