DEPORTATION TO
: SOLVE PROBLEM
OF SMUCCLERS
Mrs. Ying, Husband And
Chancellor Will Be Re-
turned To China.
BY GEORGE d. CRISSEY
(United Press Staff Correspondent }

SAN FRANCISCO, July Is. An
embarrassing situation for the
United States, and the possibility
of Tong war, will be eliminat-
ed, it was evident today, by
sending three prominent Chinese
back home without prosecution on
charges of smuggling opium.
Ying Kao, vice consul here, his
wife and Suen Foon, chancellor of
the local consulate, were arrested
after customs officials found more
than 100000 worth of opium and
other contraband, in Mrs. Ying Kao 3
baggage.
On the eve of the expected grand
jury indictments, DIR. c. c. WI,
Chinese ambassador at Washington,
telegraphed w. G. Anching Kung,
consul general here, and ordered the
recall to China of Ying Kao and
Suen Foon.
In this act was seen agreement
with United States authorities as
the arrests were under the Jones
Miller act, with deportation as the
probable penalty. Recall, it is point
ed out, win accomplish the same
end and without hazard of starting
fight between conflicting Tongs
in San Francisco s great Chinese sec
tion, and without embarrassment to
the Chinese or United States gov
ernments.
With the opium in Mrs. Ying
Kao's luggage were letters and docu-
ments which United States District
Attorney George Hatfield ordered
sent to Washington.
Chinatown Watchful
A grim and watchful air has pre-
vailed in Chinatown since arrest of
Chinese officials for opium Snug
Cling. 1t is known that difficulty
was experienced in obtaining a tran
slator because Chinatown as a
whole doesn't worry much about the
smuggling Of opium. Aiding prosecu-
tion of Chinese, however, might in
furiate rival Tong men, thus fur
nishing the flame that could start
deadly siege of killings.
So it appears that recall, the easy
way out for all concerned, will be
ordered.
The alleged smugglers, who have
been in seclusion since obtaining
their release on $4,000 bond each,
have maintained silence since their
arrests, except for declarations by
Mrs. Ying Kao that she was inno-
cent and that she did not know
gifts" she was transporting were
in reality packages .of opium.
What action will be taken in China
is unknown, but it is pointed that
punishment may be drastic because
of the peculiar position which the
case placed the Republic of China
with the United States.

scared Russia reverted again today
to talk of conflict with the equally

result of mass meetings, resolutions,

throughout the Soviet Union yes

"We don't want war, but we are

take up arms in defense of the pro.

den of all these speeches, editorials,
mass meetings and resolutions, in
an indignant Sabbath wherein the

Political circles were fearful
that Marking would ignore the
three day ultimatum like it ignor-
ed for many weeks the May 81 note
of Leo Karkham, eastern foreign
affairs secretary, after the Chinese
raid upon the Soviet consulate at
Harbin.
The ultimatum dominates the

decisive action of some sort is be-

Workers of Moscow voiced a

was continued until Thursday when
Davis interposed a motion for a new
trial of the charges that he accepted
a $500 to cease up" on the pros

Julian Petroleum failure.
The application for a new trial
was based on Ehe usual statutory
grounds of misdirection of the jury
by the court, errors in decisions on
questions of law during the trial,
and a verdict contrary to the evil
dence.
Davis, found guilty by a jury
last week, faces a ITO IA year term

|BRAWLEY CITY
HALL DESTROYED
SATURDAY NIGHT
Library, Police Station
And City Offices Go Up
In Flames.

Imperial Valley, for the third
time within a month, each in diff
ferent city, was visited by a dis
astrous fire, this time in Brawley
when the city hall was completely
destroyed Saturday night.
Every unit of the structure with
the exception of the fire department
hall was destroyed by the flames,
numerous valuable records of the
various city offices are a total loss.
The city library was also entirely
destroyed.
According to checkup this morn
ing it was learned the city hall,
with its various additions cost ap-
proximately, $4,000 to build al
though at present prices Of mate
rails it is estimated the cost Of re-
placing the structure would run
above $4,000.
Insurance to the amount of ap-
proximately $4,000 is carried on
the building and its contents, the
amount being divided among several
companies.
The fire started above the city
library at about s o'clock Saturday
night. Firemen stationed at the
firehouse first saw the blaze and
took immediate steps to extinguish
it. However, according to eye wit.
nesses, several hose couplings broke
and before the firemen could get
into operation the blaze had gained
considerable headway. It is said
that defective wiring started the
fire.
The FL Centre fire department an
swered the call Saturday night and
assisted in fighting the fire at Braw-
ley. Chief Tom Reams ordered one
Of the local trucks and eight men
from here.
Chief Resigns
The first unit of the Brawley
city hall was built approximately 1s
years ago at cost of $4,000. Sub.
sequent additions brought the total
cost of the building to $4,000. The
city carried $4,000 insurance on
the building, $4,000 on fixtures
$1,000 on library and various othel
small amounts on other offices.
Chief William Hicks, whose resig
nation becomes effective today, left
for Los Angeles few hours before
the blaze to accept position IL
that city. Acting Chief j. B. Con
ley directed the department in fight
ing the fire.
A month or so ago part of the
block between Fourth and Fifth
Streets on state street and number
of packing and storage sheds went
up in smoke in this city at an estl
mated loss of over. 100000.
A few days later almost an entire
block in Imperial was destroyed
with loss estimated at around $75,'
600. The loss Saturday at Brawley
is said to be in the vicinity of 500,
600 making a total fire loss in the
valley over a short period of time
of over quarter of million dollars

Polish Pilot Dies And
Companion Injured In
Azores Landing.
FRENCHMEN B ACK
Terrific Storms At Sea
Play Havoc With Paris
To New York Flights.
BY PEGGY WARD
United Press Special CORRESPONDENT


HORTA, Azores, July Is. W.H -
The attempted transatlantic flight
of the single-motored Polish biplane
Marshal Pilsudski ended in a disas-
trous crash on Graciosa Island, one
Of the Azores group, where the
flyers sought haven after develop
ing serious motor troubles.
Major Louis Idzikowski, whose
great ambition was to pioneer a
cross-Atlantic trail from Paris to
the United States, was killed instant
ly in the explosion which followed
the crash to the rocky ground when
a forced landing was attempted.
Casimir Kubala, the other member
of the Marshal Pilsudski crew,
miraculously escaped death and was
in a hospital today suffering from
various injuries. The machine was
completely destroyed.
A Polish cadet ship which happened
to be stationed here, was rushed to
the scene of the disaster.
The details of the tragedy still
were incomplete today. Communica-
tions with the island on which
Idzikowski met his death were diff
ficult. The spot where the accident
took place is about 35 miles north OF
Fayal.
| 1t was reported from the hospital
that Kubala's condition was salts
factory.
The crash of the Marshal Pilsud-
ski came Saturday night, after the
plane had been fighting winds al
most from the time it hit out to sea
after leaving Paris at dawn.
The Poles were two years in pre-
pairing for their flight to the Unit
ed States. They attempted to cross
the Atlantic last year, but were
fol ced down and were rescued by a
ship.
On this occasion the nearness of
the plane to the islands when the
flyers met trouble gave rise to the
hope that they would make a safe
landing here.
Burial On Island
The populace stayed up most OF
the night awaiting the Polish air.
men. Huge fires were built around
the football field-the best avail
able landing field for planes-as a
signal to the flyers.
Yesterday imposing funeral ser
vices were held on Graciosa island
at a spot called Guadalupe, for the
dead Polish flyer. Major Kubala
has requested the permission of the
government to transfer the body OF
his dead comrade to Warsaw.
Major Idzikowski was 38 years
old, one of the best known flyers
in Europe, a veteran of the World
war with the Russian army. When
Poland became an independent state
and formed an army of its own,
Idzikowski joined it's air force and
served as. member Of the Kosc-
iusko escadrille.
Idzikowski and Kubala started
planning flight across the Atlantic

Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh made
his historic flight from New York

NOTED PIONEER
OF Ell CENTRIC
DIES ON COAST

j. Stanley Brown, 70, one of the
original pioneers of Imperial valley
and particularly of Ell Centre, died
last night in his Los Angeles home
after an illness of several months.
His son Floyd X. Brown, was at his
fathers bedside when the latter
passed away.
Brown was perhaps one of the
best known men in the valley for
many years, in fact was active both
in business and politically up until
just the last several years. He was
first in a great number of
things, being not only the first post
master of Ell Centre, but also the
proprietor of the first hardware
store in the city and the first ex-
alted ruler of the local lodge of
Elks.
According to Ray Edgar, also one
of the original pioneers of the val
ley, and other 'old timers' j.
Stanley Brown arrived in Imperial
valley about 1905. He was elected
postmaster in 1906 and served until
1911 when he was appointed treas,
urer of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict, which he served until 1915.
He was elected county treasurer
and served in that capacity until
1919, when he became a director of
the irrigation district. He resign
cd in 1921.
Browns first wife died here in
1924, and he .remarried sometime lat
er. His present wife was with him
when he died yesterday.
Besides serving the county and
other Imperial county development
projects, Brown was active in city
affairs and fraternal orders. He was
a prominent and active member of
the Knights of Pythias and also the
Elks.
j. Stanley called for his son late
last week and Floyd X, who has
been auditing the city books, left
Immediately for his fathers home.
A wire to city officials this morn
ing advised of the pioneer pass
ing. Funeral services will be an
nounced later and time will be al
lowed so that many of his friends
from this section will have the op-
portunity of attending.

TAX CUT
WILL AID BUSINESS
Action of Treasury Head Is
Expected to Stimulate
U. S. Trade.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.

Announcement that Secretary Mellon
viii recommend q tax reduction at the
coming session Of Congress may be
counted on to exert q favorable in
fiuence on business. But It would have
proved a far more potent factor had it
come at some other time than during
the psychological depression Of q drastic
drop In security prices. The Secretary
OF the Treasury has declared that while
the final detailed estimates of the
revenues and expenditures for the fiscal
years 1890 and 1891 have not been
completed, he feels they have reached
stage where tax reduction can be
recommended.
Many corporations and individuals
today seemed to take the stand, how
ever, that their taxes had automatically
been reduced for them through the
tremendous decline in security values
and losses Of profits thereon. Financial
experts are much at variance as to the
extent to which profits have been re-
duced through the Wall Street excite
ment. Mr.. Mellon asserts that busi-
ness profits. dividends, interest and
wage payments all will exceed those of
1928. This seems unquestionable on
the face of it. Yet financial men feel
that it is by no means certain how
much reduced individual and corporate
incomes Of the last two months of this
year win be onset by the unusually high
incomes Of the first 10 months.
Increased Investment.
Americans have made more invest
mentS as well as engaged In more spec
ulations during 1929 than ever before,
The money from business profits Of in
dividualS and corporations has not been
allowed to stay at interest In the banks.
1t has gone into securities of other
corporations or into domestic or foreign
holdings. The same holds true OF the
salary and wage earners. They have
been taught, largely through Liberty
bonds to become investors and while
they received large sums in wages 1t
does not follow that in general they
have large sums at their disposal now.
Even II they own their securities out
right they could not realize on them
without a loss.
The investment trusts which have
grown in power and number make a
business of investing in securities Of
other companies. Their holdings have
suffered severe losses. The more pros
porous industrial concerns have made a
practice Of putting their reserves IN
stocks and bonds Of other sound COM
panies. These corporations may show
from their books that their industrial
activities yielded profit, but how much
of that profit was wiped out In the
stock drop still Is uncertain. It Is
known, however, to have been tre=
mendouS.
There is hardly a big railroad which
has not holdings in the stocks of other
roads or OF industrial concerns along
