HAMBORN, RUHR, April IL
Early settlement of the Ruhr qu2s
ton and reparations-or war.
That is the view Of Fritz Thys-
sen, son Of Germany's Carnegie, in
active control over the enormous
Thyssen works, which employ 10000
hands.
To get to Fritz Thyssen to inter
view him was no easy task. Not
that young Thyssen is inaccessible,
but the sheer physical obstacles in
the way were numerous. First !
had to find an automobile to take me
from Dusseldorf to Hamborn, a dis
lance of about Is miles. No trains
were running. The German train
men had struck and the French had
not yet got the roads working.
This difficulty oyercome-and au
tos for hire are scarce, many having
been requisitioned by the French
my next move was to obtain a ~Lais-
SEE Passer" from the army of occu-
patton. This was readily granted,
for the French are not trying to keep
newspaper correspondents cooped up
and hand fed as has been reported.
They are perfectly free to go and
come as they please once the papers
are obtained.
l found Thyssen in his office at
the works here-an attractive,
though somewhat somber office with
a 12-foot wainscoting Of heavy
black oak. Over the massive table
in the center of the room a huge
chandelier of wrought iron hung,
draped to throw light ON the table
only, leaving the rest of the room in
shadow.
The stained glass windows con-
tanned Iikenesses of U-boats, huge
howitzers firing, war planes soaring,
and such like.
Preaching Quiet
Thyssen is of the Schwab type,
somewhat heavy and inclined to smile
rather bitter smiles almost constant
ly
I'VE are accused" he told me,
"of trying to stir up trouble against
the French in the Ruhr. The CON
trary is true Every industrialist in
the occupied territory is preaching
CAIN. Were it not so, there is no
telling what might happen Chancel-
lor Cuno, himself, came here from
Berlin to plead ri n the leaders to
keep their mca Qdict-that that was
the way to nslp the government.
He did no come, as was said, to
prea1h resistance.
How much longer we can hold
the people down do not know. They
are getting bitterer daily. And they
are still at work, When we are
forced to shut down-we can't keep
ping up stock which we are unable
to ship past the French customs bar
rier-and throw scores of thousands
of workers into the streets, jobless,
there is almost sure to be trouble.
Empty stoma his are dangerous.
Il hope things are settled before
that time comes. For an outbreak in
the Ruhr might easily be accom-
panied by a spontaneous outburst all
over Germany which in turn might
precipitate grave events throughout
Europe if not the world. For there
is no country in Europe today but
which is in the throes of terrific UNI

Boy Scouts Are
ROtarian Guests

The Spirit of Rotary was perhaps
no more clearly exemplified than
in the meeting held yesterday at
the Barbara Worth hoteb Over
40 Boy Scouts of FL Centre troop
number l were guests of as many
Rotarians. Every thing was done
to make these future Rotarians wei
come and it is safe TO say that the
"big boys enjoyed themselves as
much or more than the younger ones.
Rotarians and Boy Scout songs were
sung. This meeting is one of a
series that the Rotarians will hold
in the interest of boys work. John
Ross was chairman of the day and
the whole meeting was given over
TO the boys, who after the meeting
was over expressed themselves as
being ''strong' for the Rot"rians
and that they would 'sure be one
too when they grew up.

G.. Chadburn and j. G. Summers
were arraigned in the police court
this morning, charged with violation
of the city ordinance in operating n
business without a license. The
men have neglected to pay their oc
cupation tax for several periods, it
is claimed. Their eases were con-
tinued until Monday.
Judge Thompson also continued
the eases of Henry Neahr and Mar
garita Ruiz until the same day. Of
ficers DeatOn and Westfahl raided
the Arizona Cafe at 307 Main
street, which is operated by the
woman and took two and one-half
pints of whiskey from the premises.
Several empty bottles gave evidence
that considerable quantity of liquor
had been present within the past
few days. Both defendants were
lodged in the city Jail over night,
being placed in separate eompart-
During the night, the woman sue
ceeded in drawing sledge hammer
into her cell and passed it on to her
companion, who succeeded in batter
ing the door between the two cells.
In addition to charge of vagrancy
originally placed against him, Neahr
will have to answer to a charge of
destroying Jail property.

200 Bills Still Piled Up
Waiting SOlOns'
Attention
By United Press Leased Wire

SACRA MENTO, May 1S.-Cali-
fornia s 45th. biennial legislature
will come to an official close at )
p. IN today.
Faced with q calender of more
than 200 bills remaining to be con
sidered both housese will probably
stop the clocks and continue on
through the night.
Locked doors will be necessary to
keep a quorum in either house to-
night, it is anticipated. Many leg
islatOrs have declared they intend
to leave Sacramento late today, and
some have already made reserva-
tions on outgoing trains.
Few Important Bills
Few of the bills remaining to be
considered are Of vital importance.
The senate will debate and prob
ably pass the Duval bill increasing
the tax on incomes of motor trans
port lines. The measure was amend;
cd late yesterday in the upper house
decreasing the rate Of taxation from
5 to per cent. Another senate
amendment to the bill exempts
owners of city taxicabs, trucks and
sightseeing ears from the tax.
With the Duval measures out OF
the way it is expected to
make quick work of the remaining
bills before it. In fact the upper
house will probably be ready tc
adjourn on the designated hour, but
must remain in session until the
assembly finishes its work, botf
houses quitting their labors at thu
same time,

Sack of Flour
Puts Out Fire

The resourcefulness of Mrs. f. n.
Smith undoubtedly saved her hand
some home at Sixth street and Wen
sley avenue from serious damage
when hot water heater caught fire
at noon today. Passerby turned in
& fire alarm but Mrs. Smith threw
part of the contents of sack of
flour on the blazing beater, smoth
ering the flames, after which 1t was
carried to the yard. There was no
work for the fire department when
it arrived, except to use a hand ex-
tinguisher on the still! smoldering
heater. Noon time alarms are be-
coming quite frequent lately and
the firemen are wondering whether
it is for the purpose of giving them
appetites, or spelling their midday
lunches.

URGE NO TAX
ON SALARIES
BELOW $500 0
by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Pro-
gressives will demand that the ad-
ministration consent to elimination
of all taxes on incomes of less than
$4,000. ...-
If this concession is refused them
the progressives will do their best
to wreck the administration g tax
revision program, upon which re-
publican leaders hope to build party
popularity for 1924.
The tentative administration pro-
gram calls for reduction of income
but no change in the present ex-
emptions or taxes on the small in
comes.
"Mellon will build his program
on the foundation of getting relief
for rich men and big corporations; );
we will build our on demand for
justice to the soldier and relief for
the small tax payer Il progressive
senator recently wrote constitu-
ent in reply to an inquiry about pro-
gressive tax revision plans.
Demand Following
The progressive bloc will demand
the following measures:
/. Increase in corporation profits
taxes or restoration of the excess
profits tax.
2, Increasing of exemption to
married men and heads of families
from $4,000, the present figure to
$4,000. This would free from in
come taxes entirely the man with Il
small income.
3. Enactment of soldier bonus
bill.
The progressives believe they
have the administration Gin n
hole both on tax reductions and
the bonus.
With Secretary Mellon predicting
Il treasury surplus of $l25,0G0,000
this year there is no reason why
burdensome taxes should not be
lifted from the man of small means,
they say.

Interesting Tests Made
With Melons From
Mexico
l. V. MELONS NEXT
May Rev0luti0nize Ways
of Packing, Shipping
Valley Crop

Examination this morning of sew
eral crates of cantaloupes which
were put through the preceding
process two weeks ago, showed them
to be in excellent condition and it
is felt that the success of the pre-
cooling method is success beyond
any doubt.
The experiments were conducted
By l.. G. wilson of the Imperial Ice
and Development company. The
cantaloupes used were brought from
Mexico, and when the length of
time they were on the way from the
fields to the preceding plant is
taken into consideration, it augurs
well for the success of preceding
melons the same day they are pack
ed.
Three Glasses of Melons
The melons inspected today were
of three classes, not preceded, pre-
cooled and then dried off with cold
air blasts, and preceded and stored
NSts oiioN ihS thSit iCfhONSl liOu
pre- cooling tanks, the cantaloupes
were put in cold storage for 10
days, or approximately the same
time it takes Imperial Valley can
taloupes to reach eastern markets.
Those examined today showed the
cantaloupes which were stored wet
to be in the best condition. There
was absolutely no mould on them,
and they were firm and solid. The
cantaloupes stored after being dried
with cold air, were also in gOOG con.
dition, though not as good as the
wet specimens. There was no mould
on these either, but they were not
as firm as the others. The samples
which were not preceded were in
comparatively poor shape, being
mouldy in spots, and soft, as well
as shrunkens
Another lot Of cantaloupes, which
were removed from cold storage
last Saturday and placed in an ice
box at the home of Arthur Miller
were found to be in good condition,
though not as well preserved as
tHOSc WHICH udl III COlu
storage. In this lot also, the canta.
loupes which were stored wet were
in the best condition. They had
softened q little, and on some there
was mould near the stem.
Those which were preceded and
dried off, were not quite so good,
there being considerable mould on
them and they had softened. The
lot which was not preceded at all
were in the worst shape, being
squashy and mouldy.
Try Valley Melons
AS soon rs possible, Imperial Val
ley cantaloupes will be used in the
experiments and it seems certain
that now way has been discovered
to insure getting Imperial Valley
melons to eastern markets in the
best possible condition, and that
the method for doing this is to pre-
cool them and store them wet.
The cantaloupes were returned to
their places and will be examined
again early next week.
