CHICAGO, May 4-J. Allen Mllls,
formerly freshman leader of North
western University, was sought by
authorities for questioning today,
following an all night inquiry into
the death of leighton Mount, as tile
result Of an alleged hazing.
William McElwain and Thomas
Wolf, football stars, were among a
score of students called from their
homes and beds at various hours of
the night. They told Edgar A.
Jones, assistant state attorney, that
Mills returned from the fatal soph-
omore. freshman class rush of 1921

GOVERNOR DID
NOT VETO THE
LETTUCE BILL
Sent Bill Back to
Legislature for
Correction

Governor Richardson has not We
toed the Standardization bill, ac-
cording to kilograms received this
morning by j. r. Coylc, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce, from the
governor and Assemblyman George
II. Davis. Evidently the report that
the bill! had been voted arose from
the fact that the governor had re-
fused to sign the bill and returned
it to the legislature for correction,
leading some to believe that he had
vetoed it.
Governor Richardson s telegram
sent in response to one from Sccre'
tary Coyle, following resolution
by the board of directors, is as fol
lows: "<Assembly bin 800 has not
been sent to me for my approval
! This is taken to mean that the bill
has not yet been returned to the
governor for signature, following his
action in returning it to the assem-
bly, for correction.
Asscmblyman Davis telegram is
more explicit and follows: "Telc
gram received referring Assembly
bill 800 was refused signature OF
governor on account of slight err
or in title. AS amended will be pas
sed without alteration orr objec-
ton.
This news will undoubtedly be
gladly received by the lettuce
growers in Imperial Valley and of
ficials of the hort icultural com
mission, who We're keenlN disap
pointed when the report was receiv
| ed that the bill had been vetoed.

LITTLE HOPE TO
PASS BUDGET over
GOVERNORS VETO
OppOsers Admit Weeks
Wrangling Seems
Useless
L. A. Loses Out On
ReappOrtionment
Measure
by United Press Leased Wire

=
SACRAMENTO, May 4.-Gover-
nor Friend w. Richardson had be
fore him today the amended bien-
NAL budget bill, passed by. the sen,
ate late yesterday, following which
the upper house changes were con
cured in by the assembly.
The document. bearing more than
80 alterations forced through by the
anti-administration forces, little re-
sembles the $4,000, 900 bill Cover
nor Richardson s Legislators brought
before the assembly three weeks
ago. 1t bears increases totally ap-
proximately $1,000, 900, all of which
Governor Richardson has announced
he will veto.
Veto Effective Belief
The executive is expected to act
on the bill and report it back to the
Legislature either today or Monday.
1t would take a twO-thirds vote to
pass the amended bill over the gov
ernor's veto. No one believes this
is possible. AS a result, it is adj
mittcd that the bill will 90 into eff
feet practically as originally pre-
scnted by the administration, with
the three weeks wrangling over the
measure netting little.
Another big issue facing the for
ty-fifth Legislature was dead today
Re-apportionmcnt of California ;:
Legislative districts, a subject which
has been discussed since the first
roll call, was blocked late yesterday
when the assembly killed the Edwin
Baker bill by vote of SO to %.
AS a result of the vote Los An
geies county was refused the in
creased number Of Legislators which,
under strict application of the
constitution, it's increased popula.
tion Justified it in claiming.
Vote on the reapportiOnment bill
came late in the day, after 90 legis-
lators had spoken for or against the
measure.

Cordial Relations Always
The fact that steps are now being
taken to bring the two~countries to-
gether, receives the best wishes of
all Americans, particularly those in
Imperial Valley, who realize the
progress being made in Mexico and
the benefits to be derived from
more friendly state relations be
tween the two countries. Nothing
but the most cordial relations have
always existed between the officials
of Lower California and the state
of California, while the business
men on either side of the line have
always maintained their trade re-
lations, even during the exciting
days of l9l5-1G.
The FL Centre business men are
going to Mexicali tomorrow, de.

VETS TO DEMAND
RECOGNITION BY
1924 DEMOCRATS
Prefer Wet Platform
to Wet Ticket or
Both
Vets Believe Sentiment
Is Swinging Their
Direction
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May A. Wet
forces will demand either a place
on the democratic national ticket
in 1922 or a plank in the democratic
national platform.
They want both; they will be con
tent with either, though they would
vastly prefer the platform to be wet
than the ticket.
A number of prospective ''wet y
vice presidential candidates are be-
ing groomed by the Murphy Bren-
anTaggart group. Governor Sill
zer of New Jersey and Senator Roy
al Copeland of New York, are the
most prominent of those so far
mentioned. Both have been talked
of as ''presidential possibilities,
but neither is seriously considered
in that light.
Here to Stay
L Although both patries are des-
perately fighting shy of booze as an
issue, the most astute politicians
! here declare it is, and will remain
one of the paramount domestic ques
tions Of the 1924 campaign. 1t is the
question most talked about today
by the American people. 1t has
both domestic and internationa
ramifications. 1t will be the sub
| ject of Il bitter fight in the TeX'
i congress. 1t is in politics to stay
for years TO come, party chiefs sad
ly admit. They wish it were other
wise. The vets feel renewed
strength. They declare public senti
ment is swinging their way.
Politically the democrats canno
afford to overlook the wet strength
wet leaders assert. If the democrats
will not go the length Of making
| the party wet by writing a beer an'
light wines plank, or some simila'
statement into the platform, the,
should at least get the psychological
benefit of putting a wet on the tick
ct, the anti-prohibition forces hold.
