Get Lie CENSES::
SEVERAL. TAGGED

More than half dozen motorists
were tagged Tuesday by Deputy
Sheriff Sam Hayhurst within the city
limits because they were still operat-
ing their machines with 1926 license
plates attached,
All were warned to procure their
plates at once. The deputy sheriff
intends to tag all tardy applicants
for new plates. Unless the operator
of a car has the 1925 plates at
tached or has receipt to show that
he has applied for them, he will be
tagged and told to report to Judge
John E.. Newbury
1t was reported yesterday that
there are 43 pairs of 1926 license
plates now at the office of Deputy
County Assessor Tom Glenn, on Tenth
street, awaiting a call by the appli-
cahts. Approximately 40 more pairs
have been ordered and should be here
soon. Advice of the deputy sheriffs
here is that motorists apply at once
at Glenn's office and obtain their
plates The technical time limit for
those driving under 1925 plates was
up Monday and within the next few
days it is likely that a fine will be
levied against every violator of this
edict.

DECISION AS TO
COUNTESS CASE
STILL DELAYED
lRv nisnatch a P. Wirel


WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-After a
day of conferences surrounded by a
veil of secrecy, Secretary Davis of
the labor department said tonight
that a decision on the question of
admitting the Countess of .Cathcart
to the United States would be delayed,
possibly for several days.
The announcement was made after
it had been stated that a final order
in the case which involved charges
of moral turpitude growing out Of
the elopement of the countess with
the Earl of Craven several years ago,
would be issued late today.
Attorneys for the countess, who
has been denied admission to the
United States by immigration offic-
ials at New York and is now held
at Ellis Island, were given a hearing
yesterday by the departments board
of review Because of the Importance
the case has attained, the boards
recommendations were given personal
consideration by Secretary Davis and
his decision to defer final action, he
explained, was due to his desire to
satisfy himself on all points involved
before defining the departments pos
ition.
Some of the questions raised, he
said, require further study He de-
scribed these as being of "semi-
legal' nature but declined to say
whether they had to do with public
policy in applying the immigration
law.
The questions on which he is seek
ing further enlightenment, the Sec
retary said, do not include any of
the legal points raised yesterday by
counsel for the countess.
William A. Deford, attorney for the
countess, has returned to New York
and is understood to be prepared to
institute habeas corpus proceedings
to test the law in it's application to
his client, if the final ruling should
call for her exclusion. In case such
a writ were issued, it would be pos
sible for the countess to enter the
United States under bond.

STEPS TAKEN in
BOTH HOUSES TO
UP NAVAL
SERVICE IN AIR
House Prepares to Approve
Five Year Program to
Cost $780, 100000.
PLAN FOR 1000 PLANES
Two DirigibIes, Each Three
Times Size of Shenandoah,
to be Built.
fpu nisnarcn i 2 Wire,

WASHINGTON, Feb 16.-Steps look
ing to the building up oe the naval
air service were taken today in both
houses of congress.
While the house naval committee
was preparing TO approve a five
year air craft building program to
cost S1OO, 900, 600 the senate passed the
annual navy department apprepria-
ton bill after restoring two sections
eliminated by the house, one provid-
ing $49625O for new planes and the
other to authorize the navy to con-
tract for new aircraft equipment up
to $4,10O0,00O.
The bill, as passed by the senate.
carried total of 16,493,000 for all
activities of the navy, including $18'-
900 900 for the air service. The lat
ter figure is exclusive of the $4,1O0,-
900 contract authorization item, al
though it includes a like amount to
provide funds to carry out similar
authorization in the last act.
The senate also inserted in the bill
an appropriation for continuing the
Lakehurst, N. j., naval station in its
present status. Abandonment of this
station was recommended by the
house appropriations committee, but a
of members of the naval COM
mittee are in favor of maintaining
it, and their opinion is expected to
have weight in the joint conference
on the bill.
AS drafted the five year program
worked out by the naval committee,
would provide for:
One thousand new airplanes at the
end of the period
Two dirigibles, each three times
the size of the wrecked Shenandoah.
An appropriation, the amount un-
determined for all metal dirigibles,
for which the navy has been negotiat-
ing, with the Aircraft Development
corporation, backed by Ford inter-
ests.
A 100000 provision for this pur-
pose voted into the naval supply bill
by the house was eliminated by the
senate and this is another difference
which must be adjusted in conference.

him her parents would force the
marriage when they returned from
church, and that in desperation he
shot her.
He denied fatherhood of the child.
Higdon first told the prosecutor that
after his refusal to marry her Miss
Gosa asked him for his gun and that
he gave it to her. After that he
said he left and returned just in
time to see her send a bullet into
her heart.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wes Higdon, the boys
parents, who had been held with
him since the shooting were released
late today. Higdon's parents had
opposed his marriage to the girl, and
so strong had been the feeling in
his family over the match that ile
left home several months ago. He
had scarcely seen his parents since
the estrangement until they were
brought together in the county Jail
here.
