DISSENSION ON
IN FRANCE OVER
LATEST VICTORY
by United Press Leased Wire

PARIS, May l5.-Dissension over
the spoils of political victory is in
creasing daily in the ranks of the
left wing. 'a..
For the purpose of government,
a combination of parties of the left
is necessary. No one political group
is within 100 seats of being able to
control the chamber for day.
Politicians recognize this and are
quietly arranging the necessary com
promises in the interval before Pre-
mier Poincare resigns.
Edouard Herriot, mayor of Lyons,
who is spoken of as the likeliest
successor to the premiership, has
gone to the south of France. He
haae carefully refrained from re-
vcallng his attitude, but the news
paper Quotidien announced today
that Herriot would accept the task
of forming cabinet.

STAGE CASE IS
AGAIN TO FORE,
MORGAN APPEARS
Hearing Tomorrow On
Move to Strike Out
Indictment

Thomas Morgan, president of the
United Stages, Inc, indicted by the
grand jury on a charge of perjury,
will appear in superior court this
afternoon for a hearing on his mo-
ton to strike the amended indict-
ment from the files.
Morgan was indicted on a charge
of having sworn to an affidavit rela
tive to complaint for injunction
on or about March 81, 1928, i'll which
there were contained statements
that were alleged to have been false
ly and wiliully given.
In the motion to strike out the
amended Indictment, it is stated
that the original indictment at
tempted to be amended i'll matters
of substance and did not and does
not relate to matters affecting form
al parts of said indictment.
The motion to strike out is based
on five particular points, which are
named as follows:
That the grand jury did not find
or charge that the complaint for in-
junction was used for a purpose con
tcmplated by Section 11S of the
Penal Code of the State of Califor-
mia, or delivered to someone by the
defendant for such use.
That the grand jury did not find
nor charge that the defendant first
took oath to testify or depose truly.
Makes Many Charges
That the grand jury did not find
or charge that the alleged officer
taking the alleged oath to verifica-
tion of said complaint TO injunction
was qualified and had power to ad-
minister an oath.
That the grand judy did not find
or charge that the court in which
the alleged periured complaint and
verification was filed, was a court
having jurisdiction to hear and en-
tertain the cause of action set forth
in said complaint for injunction or
that the action or proceeding was
at issue.
That the grand jury did not find
or charge that the complaint filed
as alleged in the purported indict-
ment was document or complaint
required by law to be verified.
The case against Morgan started
in the civil suit between the United
Stages Inc. VS.. Frederick Ernsting,
ct al, in March 1923, and involved
asserted rights claimed by both the
United Stages and United Stages,
Inc, to operate automobile stages
over certain rights of way in I'M
perial Valley. Much litigation was
involved and the original suit was
by the filing of several
other cases outgrowths of the orig
inal complaint.

tend clemency to persons imprison-
ed for contempt of court, Federal
Judges Carpenter and Wilkerson de-
clared today in reversing the presi-

 Tolley, who won the French open title last Wednesday, played fine golf and led most of the way today. The Britisher, however, missed short putt on the fifteenth green in the second round and had bad luck on the six teenth when his ball, apparently dead in the cup, bounced out. Anderson took the lead for the first time at the four teenth hole of the second round, be- coming one up.
 Toliey was one up at the ninth hole of the first round and finished the first eighteen with that margin. He won the first two holes of the second round and at the ninth was still lead ing by two. Anderson came back with some splendid golf and squared the match at the thirteenth hole. He then took the lead, winning the four. teenth and fifteenth and halving the sixteenth when Tolley's ball jumped out of the cup. He lost the seventeenth. On the last hole both players got away with fine drives, Anderson reach ing the edge of the green in two with Tolley only a yard away. Both holed out four with fOur-yard butts.
