Tomorrow
BY HERBERT LITTLE
v United Press Leased Wire

MADISON, Wis, June 6.-The
legislative controversy over the re-
peal of the Wisconsin prohibition
enforcement law reached its crisis
today.
"Wets' predicted victory in the
vote on the repeal bill scheduled in
the assembly at 10 O'Clock tomon
row. They are prepared to go into
caucus tonight to align their ma
jority" solidly in favor Of the re-
realer.
The ''drys' are confning activ-
tiles to statements that the upper
house will kill the Tucker bill and
that the anti-saloon league will
make the wet assemblvmen sweat at
the next election.
Meanwhile the anti-prohibitionists
pointed .ubilantly to:
!. A letter sent out by State
Prohibition Commissioner Stanley
Smith to his deputies, advising them
to take a vacation until July !,
without pay, as the 100000 year
appropriation for his department
was all used up.

court that a search warrant must
specify the person searched in order
to allow dry agent to go after

3. Decision of the supreme court
month ago that automobiles can

JAPANESE IS NEAR
DEATH AS RESULT
SHOOTING SCRAPE
Assailant in County Jail
Blames Eternal
Triangle
Doctors Regard Victims
Tenacity AS Almost
Miraculous

H. Tamaki is in the El Centro hos
pital, with his death momentarily
expected, and K. Omine is held pris-
oner in the cour,ty Jail, charged with
shooting Tamah with a shotgun On
q ranch four miles northwest Of I'm
perial yesterday afternoon. Talna-
ki's strength i'll keeping alive since
the shooting is ar, object Of wonder
to physicians coming in contact with
the case.
From statements said to have
been made by Omine, the shooting
is the result of the 'eternal tri-
ANGLE Omine claiming that Tama-
XII has carried on love affair with
his wife for some time. He told of
ficers at the Jail last night that he
has not slept for two weeks, worry
ing about his family troubles. Yes
terday, he went to the ranch where
Tamaki was working and told him
to keep away from his wife. Tamaki
was packing cantalOupes, and had
hammer in his hand, and accord
ing to Omine's story, started toward
the latter with the hammer raised
in a threatening manner.
Doctors Marvel
Omina evidently had gone to see
Tamaki prepared for trouble, hav,
ing brought a shotgun along with
him. According to Omine, as Tama
XII advanced with the hammer,
Omine raised the shotgun and fired,
the charge striking Tamaki in the
right side Of the head, blowing a
portion of the scalp away. DR.. l.. G.
House, who attended Tamaki when
he was brought to the hospital
stated today that the man has lost
a grent deal of blood, and notwith-
standing that the shot should have
killed him outright, he seemed con,
siderably better today. ="
Tamaki gives a different version
Of the shooting, claiming he had
some financial difficulties with
Omine over year ago, and that the
latter owes him money which he
loaned him to work his ranch.
D. Denies Love Affair
He said he had quarreled with
Omine's wife some time ago, but
never had any questionable affair
with her. He also denied making
any threats against Omine yester-
day, and claimed the latter shot him
as soon as they met. without making
any charges against him.
o Omine was taken in custody by
Deputy Sheriff Powell and brought
to FL Centre. He seemed undis!urb.
ed by the shooting and evidently is
waiting the outcome of the shooting
with the usual stOicism of his race.

u. S. DOESN'T WANT
ZONE LIQUOR ROW
PUT TO TRIBUNAL
Hope to Enforce Edict
Without Making
Enemies
By LAWRENCE MARTIN
u. P. Staff Correspondent
ConYri oht 1929 hv United FreSSl


WASHINGTON, June g. The
United States government has re-
jected "A suggestion that the whole
question of bringing liquor across
the three mile limit into American
waters in foreign ships be submit
ed to an international council of
maritime nations.
This government regards the
question as primarily domestic and
will decide to adhere to its policy
without assistance from all other
governments. 1t will refuse to recog-
nize the jurisdiction of any inter
national tribunal such as the world
court if an effort is made to take
the question there.
Avoid Antagonism
At the same time there is dis
position here not to antagonize for
cign governments. This govern
ment is now engaged in bringing up
to date a number of old commercial
treaties with Spain and other pow
ers. These treaties may become the
medium for an agreement with the
maritime powers on liquor. BY this
means, the American government
nossiblv can find Il way to uphold
the supreme court s ruling barring
all liquors, even sea stores, from
ships entering the three mile zone,
and at the same time eliminate the
danger Of destroying friendly rela-
tiOns.
One suggestion that has been ad-
vanced is that agreement be made
that the nation S cooperating with
the government in preventing SNUG
Cling of liquor shall be given per-
mits that will allow crews ration
liquor to be brought in rs medical
liquor under strict regulations for
its consumption while the ships are
in an American port.
Want Modification
The majority of high adnlinistra-
tion officials however, favor anoth-
er course. They want President
Harding to ask congress next De-
cember to modify the drastic provi-
sions of the Volstead law, eliminat-
ing causes of international discord
such as this.
The danger that such opening of
the law to amendment might pro-
ject anew the whole wet and dry
fight, has been urged against this
course. But everybody is now con
WINGED that congress is going to
open that question anyway.

CUNO'S POLITICAL
FUTURE DEPENDS
ON ALLIES MOVE
VIII Pay Billion and
Half Gold Marks
Yearly
OFFER ON ITS WAY
Outlines Various Ways
:, of Raising Huge
Amount
BY United Press Leased Wire

BERLIN, June 6.-Life of the
Cuno cabinet depends upon the re-
ception of the new reparations offer
now on it's way to the allied capi-
tails.
Despite strenuous opposition on
many sides for failure to reach some
conclusion with the allies to lift
Germany's burden Chancellor Cuno
is understood to have proposed:
|. Payment of approximately a
billion and Il half gold marks year
ly.
.. Settlement of the exact terms
to be left to an international con-
ference.
Contents of the documents will be
officially divulged on receipt by the
allies.
1t is learned authoritatively how
ever that CunO has proposed the
reparations amount be raised in the
followings ways:
Many Methods Planned
Consumption taxes on such com
modities as tobacco, sugar and
brandy and a customs monopoly on
the same three. These taxes it is ex-
pected would provide 400,000,000
gold marks year.
Flotation of gold mortgage
amount to ten billion marks at 8
per cent against the railways, yield
ing 500,000,000 gold marks annual
ly.
Legal mortgages on industrialists,
factories, land owners totalling posi-
bly, ten billion gold marks which it
is contended would, yield another
five hundred million gold marks.
A special property tax which it is
hoped would provide l00,000,0O0
gold marks a year.

GOV. HUNT VOICES
STRONG CRITICISM
HARDINC'S JUDGES
Hamilton Club Denies
Trying to Agitate
Criticism

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 6.-Criti-
cism of President Harding e supreme
court appointments was contained
in u letter which Governor Hunt
sent today to II. w. r. Strong, pres
ident of the Hamilton club, at Los
Angeles, after the latter raised the
point that the Colorado river pact
may be declared unconstitutionaJ.
"It is notable that without ex-
ception the appointments made to
the supreme court by President
Harding are men with tory ideas, >
the letter said. ''Those who love
freedom and the traditions Of the
fathers feel that a dangerous situa
tion is developing in respect to our
courts which is not being improved
by recent additions to the supreme
court.
Deplores Encroachmsnt
The letter deplores the encroach-
ment of the Judiciary on the duties
and prerogatives of the executive
and legislative branches of the gov
ernment.
Strong S argument that the pact
might be unconstitutional because
the constitution prohibits. any state
from etering into a treaty with any
other state or foreign power ex-
cept by permission of congress, was
refuted by Governor Hunt, who
pointed out that congress had by
special act authorized the Colorado
conference to draw up the pact, the
same to be ratified by the seven
states and congress before it be-
comes effective.

CHINESE BANDITS
ON THE RAMPAGE
AGAIN.; 6 KILLED
BY United Press Leased Wire

PEK4NG, June 6.-Chinesc
bandits have resumed aggressive
operations on the Korean border
Brigands and troops met in battle
at Krehitoaku, according to dis
patches received here. Six soldiers
were killed and score kidnapped.
After dispensing the troops the
outlaws kidnapped 30 laborers who
had been at work under protection
Of the soldiers. The rest of the
laborers escaped by fleeing to 9TH
er towns along the border.
The object of the bandits who re-
Gently kidnapped many foreigners
including Americans, was to force
the government to reinstate them
in the army. This exploit may be
in furtherance of that scheme. The
success of the Shantung bandits
who seized the Americans has pro-
badly encouraged others to take n
more aggressive attitude.

FULL OF ACTION
Marked Cards Force
Owners to Give
Talks
Two Departing Members
Say Goodbye" With
Regret

Good attendance, an interesting
program and enthusiasm marked
the Chamber of Commerce luncheon
today at the Barbara Worth. On
filing into the dining room each
member was mysteriously handed
a playing card and comment was
rife as to the significance of this
part of the program.
After patraking of one of Con-
way s chest" each member was
requested by President Charles
Scott to stand up, give his name
and his line of business.
1t was then announced that the
members holding certain cards were
to be prepared to give four min
ute talk on the subjects that would
be assigned them.
The first fell to Frank Albright,
district manager of the Union Oi.
Company and he gave a very good
address on why he came to the I'M
perial valley. He stated forcibly
that of any of the districts that he
had been in he considered Imperial
Valley held forth more promise than
any other. ,

The next speaker was +. w. Slo-
cum of Smith and Slocum jewelers.
who spoke four minutes on why he
stayed in Imperial Valley and was
equally emphatic in his favorable
comments.
1t fell to the lot of F. s. Lake of
the Telephone company, to tell of
his ambition when Il young man and
although he said that his ambition
when youngster was to be a
preacher, he now considered it his
good fortune to serve the Telephone
company in the capacity of superin-
tendent of employment, which posi-
ton he is soon to take for the com
pany with headquarters in Los An
geles.
H. w. Brewer Jr., was asked to
tell why he was in the business he
was in and this revealed the fact
that he had always had desire to
be banker because he had thought
as a boy that a banker has such an
easy time. He had changed his
mind about the "easy time part
of it, he said, but still considered
il the best of all

interesting experience Of when he
first wore long trousers and in the
course of his talk it was discovered
that he came from the state Of
Maine where it gets hotter in the
summer time than in the Imperial
Valley, to say nothing of the win

and stated that he believed the
cards had been stacked against him
