U. S. WILL WORRY
ALONG SOME WAY
MIN US Flu NDS
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, June o.--ThC
federal government will "worry
along" as best it can without the
funds which the urgent deficiency
bill that failed to get through con.
gress would have provided, Budget
Director Lord said today after q
conference with President Coolidge
on the situation.
Lord indicated there are several
expedients by which vital needs
can be taken care of without the
appropriations but he said nothing
more to kill the speculation preva-
lent over the possibility Of an extra
session of congress.
VI Lord said that so far as persons
who are due for a refund of 25 per
cent on income taxes paid last
March are concerned, they probably
will have to wait until December.
AS for the bonus situation, Lord
said, the war and navy departments
and the veterans bureau will have to
do as much as they can with pre-
sent clerical forces.
A serious situation has arisen
through the failure of congress to
provide funds through passage of
the bill for fighting the hoof and
mouth disease in California. At
least 81 100000 was contained in the
bin for this purpose. An effort will
be made to get the money from 9th
er department appropriations under
an elastic provision of the law which
permits diversion Of certain funds
for emergencies.

only question put to the supreme
court was the power Of congress to
declare it unlawful to use beer as
a medicine.
The decision today ended dis
Pute, that began when Attorney Gen
eral Palmer rendered an opinion,
March B, 1921, that the 18th amend
ment did not prohibit the manufac-
ture of liquors for medicinal pur-
poses. Thereafter on October "a,
1921, the commissioner of internal
revenue issued amended regulations
providing system of permits for
the brewing and distribution

A month late congress passed the
Willis-Campbell act amending the
national prohibition act to forbid ex
pressly the use of beer for medicinal
purposes. 1t was on this act that
the court ruled today.

McCune DrOlUns
On Fishing Trip,
Sargent Saved

News of the tragic drowning of
Fitzhugh l.. McCune, prominent Ell
Centre business man until about IL
year ago. when he and his family
moved to Santa Ana, and of seven
others in boating party ut Bal
boa yesterday, came as a saddening
shock to residents of this city and
Imperial Valley where Mr.. McCune
has a host of friends and aequan-
tances.
Mr.. McCune was one of marty
of 13, including some of the most
prominent business and professional
men in Santa Ana, who set out for
a days cruise and fishing trip in
the power boat Adieu, yesterday
morning. The craft had reached
the sea end of Newport Harbor
letty, while friends and relatives
of the party watched from the pail
sades at the ocean nearby. At
the end of the breakwater, the
boat shot out between the end of
the jetty and the buoy.
Scarcely had the craft made the
sharp turn out toward the sea,
before it was met by huge wave
followed by series of heavy break
ers which staggered it and then
swept it sidewise, ripping off the
cover of the hatch and dcIuging
the passengers.
Those who were on the far side
of the Adieu were thrown into
the water as the craft was broken
into bits. Five of the passengers
were able to reach shore by means
'of lifesavers or by swimming, the
Others were apparently hurt by the
splintering craft or believed them
selves in no great danger.
The dead are: Fitzhugh J.. Me-
Cune, furniture dealer, Santa Ana.
DR.. J. G. Kelley, chiropraetor, San

II. NJ. Thorton, architect, Santa
