CAPITAL CITY
UNDER TWO
FLAGS
COntesting Law Makers
Work Double Shifts at
Sacramento
NIGHT AND DAY RULE
Tax Levy and Bond Validity
Depend Upon Supreme
Court Test
United Press Leased Wire

SACRAMENTO, Calif.-While most
cities find one municipal government
sufficient, Sacramento today was
struggling under the burden Of two.
In the day time the "C,ty Commission
ers'' meet in the council chambers and
pass such laws as they see fit.
BY night the "city council' takes
possession Of the chambers and the
reins of government.
The present situation is the result Of
the passing of new charter last year,
providing for council of nine and q
, city manager. After the charter was
passed the old city commissioners for
mally turned over the government to
the new board.
Then the old officials found en- al
legged flaw in the new charter and
/" flaw involved omission of several
paragraphs Of the new charter from
the copy approved by the legislature.
The case has gone to the supreme
court for settlement but in the mean
time the old officers are preparing to
come back into power.
They have called an election for May
to fill a vacancy on their board of
commissioners There are no candi.
dates but that doesn't matter.
The ms" say they cant use the
election booths, the city clerk has re-
fused to file the election proclamation
and says there will be no ballot.
All told the""ins" have all the best
of it at present, for they have collected
the city taxes and are paying salaries
Hence their orders are being obeyed.
But if the "outs' win in the supreme
court all ordinances passed by the pres
ent city council will be invalid.
The tax levy win be invalid and the
city will have no funds.
Two and quarter million dollars
worth of bonds voted under the new
government will be worthless.
City councilmen may be liable to
taxpayers for money collected and spent
during the year.

Another Great COnserva-

Over Reserves

Congress to Question Pri-

Fall Has Signed
NAVY SUPPLY OPENED
Bv HERBERT W. WALKER

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April l9.-Another
great conversation fight which may
rival the Ballingcr.Pinchot controversy
of the Taft administration, looms as
the result of the action of Secretary
Fall and Secretary DENLY in opening
up naval reserves in Wyoming and Cal
ifornia to private interests.
Fall admittedly has won his first real
victory in the plan to open up vast ma
tional resources to private development
through the signing of contracts with
the Mammoth Oil company of Delaware,
a Sinclair concern, for taking oil from
the Tea Pot Dome, Wyoming naval re-
serve, and with the Pan American Pc
troleum company for the California re-
serves.
Storm Crews in Congress ........-.
In congress and among the conserva-
ZIONIST forces d storm is brewing. The
senate has passed a resolution of Sena-
tor Kendrick, Wyoming, asking COM
plete information regarding the con
tracts. When this is given the storm
is expected to break. 1T will also in
volve the policy of Fall for the develop
ment of Alaska and the dispute now
raging between Fall and Secretary Wal
lace over the proposed transfer OF the
forestry bureau, from the agricultural
to the interior department.
The oil controversy, involving huge
amount of the products which admitted
ly will play most powerful part in the
national defense, because of the large
number of oil burning battleships, GEN.
ters around whether Oil under the
ground con be conserved, or whether Il
governmental pool can be tapped by
private well, just outside the govern
ment land.
Government Gets 50 por cent
Believing oil could thus be conserved,
the Taft and Wilson administrations
closed most of che oil reserves. The
Fall-Denby action indicates the present
administration favors opening them,
making contracts such as the ones just
signed under which the government
VIII get as high as SO per cent OF the
oil taken out and store it at strategic
points for use by the fleet in an
emergency.
Conversational forces contend the oil
should be left in the ground or taken
out by the government exclusively.
The present plan of the navy is to
build huge tanks for storing oil. Three
of these for instance probably will be
along the Pacific coast. Another large
one will be near Norfolk, Virginia.
Naval Officers also want to build a
huge shell proof oil reservoir in Hawaii.

Hays act in barring Arbuckle's
films is understood to be only the first
step in sweeping campaign to clean
up the movies. Other film character
who have been involved in scandals
are liable to be exiled by Hays if ex-

guilt.
Must Prove Innocence
At Hays office today, it was stated
that there was no temporary" clause
in the order banning Arbuckle's pic
lures. So far as Hays is concerned the
big comedian g exile is permanent, but
it is understood the order will be
rescinded if investigation proves Ar
buckle has right to return to the
screen. The proceedings will all be
conducted privately.
Arbuckle was tried three times for
Miss Rappe's death. Twice the jury
disagreed. The third time he was ac

Arbuckle Smile Gone
LOS ANGELES, April 19.--While the
celluloid belt buzzed with excitement
over the banning by Will Hays of all
(" Fatty" films, Arbucklc waited today
for the arrival of Joseph Schenck, his
producer, from New York.
His fat face was puckered into
puzzled and querrclous expression as he
shook his head at interviewers.
Gone was the expansive smile that
had illuminated the Arbuckle face since
his return to Los Angeles following the
"not guilty. verdict.
One motion picture comedian, q close
friend of the Arbuckles, said that
Fatty would probably fight the ban
in court if Hays made it permanent. d.

composed of representatives of San
Francisco women 8 clubs, were on rec

The presbytery made public resolu-
tions declaring that regardless of the

ible for the "orgy'' which preceded
Miss Rappc's death.
