mony in the municipal court of

"Don't take bribes by the real
estate route If you don't know what
l mean ask Mayor Cryer," was q
remark in the article on which Cryel
based one count of libel against
Shuler.
Another article, on which the for
mer mayor based second count
questioned the wealth of Cryer dur
ing a long discourse about former
District Attorney Asa Keyes, now il

RaV similar 10 avNaofaA do
clare in his defense that he did not
refer to Cryer personally but tc

TARIFF BILL NOT
LIKELY TO PASS
IN TWO WEEKS
Discussions Will Drag
Out Hearing For At
Least A Month.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. U.H-
In further effort to reach an
agreement for early disposition of
the tariff bill, Independent Republi-
cans and Democrats promised priva-
tely today to appoint a committee
to confer with some of the Republi-
can leaders who want to work ont
such an arrangement.
The negotiations are being car
ried on over the heads of some Re-
publican leaders who are unwilling
to forfeit their right to conduct a
losing fight for certain industrial
schedules in the pending bill.
The committee for the coalition
lists is to be selected by Senator
Borah, Rcpn., Idaho, who has been
leading the coalition fight. 1t will
meet with Chairman Smoot of the
senate finance committee to agree
on what amendments can be accept
ed without contest, thus shortening
debate.
The agreement may speed up con
sideration of the bill considerably
but, in the opinion of all factions
it cannot possibly bring a vot'
within the two weeks time demand
cd by President Hoover.
Some of the independent group
like some Republican regulars, be
lieve they must carry their fight TO
some of the items to the floor of tn
senate for full debate, so at leas
three or four weeks more will be oc
cupied even if the agreement
| reached.

GUARDS INVITATION
Iowa Independent Stirs
Up Hornets Nest With
Exposure.
(By PAUL r. MALLON)
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-U.P) -
President Hoover should demand the
resignation of Secretary of Treas.
TRY Andrew ". Mellon, for failure
to enforce prohibition "and get a
Smedley Butler or some one like
that" Smith w. Brookhart, ardent
Iowa dry and independent Republi.
can, told the Senate today in describ.
ing what he called "A Wall Street
Booze Party" to United States Sen.
ators at Washington hotel in 1926.
Brookhart asserted there were
large number of hip flasks on q
table or bookcase in the ante-cham.
ber of the dining room and that he
and other senators had been invited
TO help themselves.
He said the dinner was given by
Walter ]. Fahy, Wall street brok.
er, and that his position at the din.
ner was between Otto Kahn of Kahn
Loeb & Company and E. E. Loomis
of J. P Morgan & Company.
Neither Senator Smoot, Republi.
can, Utah, the late Senator Gooding,
Republican, Idaho, nor himself took
any of the flasks "but some of the
ether boys helped themselves and
the Wall street bunch was quite ac-
tive in that respect" the Iowa sem
ator said.
"As for the others they can an.
swer for themselves as to whether
they got any," he added.
President Pro Tempore of the Sen.
ate, George w. Moses, Republican,
New Hampshire, urged that he at
tend the dinner, Brookhart said.
Major General Smedley Butler to
whom Brookhart referred was loaned
to the city OF Philadelphia several
years ago to become superintendent
of public safety in an attempt to
"dry up" the city.
! Recently, as commander of the
marine base at Quantico, Va, he
refused to permit his men to enter
the city until the bootleggers had
been driven out.

one 1 hold in my hand" Brookhart
said as he held up folded piece Of
embossed paper.

CACHE OF STOLEN
GOODS LOCATED
IN NORTH END

Deputy Sheriffs Fred Elliott and
Rodney Clark uncovered yesterday
eight miles northwest of Calipatrla
what is believed to be the hang-out
of a bunch of thieves when they re-
covered a tractor that was stolen
from the Boone ranch, on the road
between Brawley and Imperial, on
September 10, last. They were as
sisted by Constable Tedford of Cal
ipatria. No arrests were made but
are expected momentarily.
The two deputies were given the
ease when the tractor was stolen,
the only clues being the serial num-
bers of the machine and the make
of it. 1t was carried away on a
truck, the Boone brothers said.
With the tractor was recovered
$50 sacks of barley seed, Is sacks
of alfalfa seed, and other property
that is believed by Sheriff Gillett
to have been stolen, totaling approx
| imately $4,000. The tractor was plac-
ed right near the banks of New river
indicating, the officers said, that
who ever stole it was prepared to
run it into the river in case of a
raid.
Elliott and Clark, who have had
line on the place and the men be-
hind the stealing for more than a
month, spent the night on the ranch
last night to arrest any person who
might have made an appearance
Sheriff Gillett was on the job at
daylight this morning and had taken
charge of the search for the thieves
1t was stated this morning at the
sheriff's office that suspects prob
ably will be arrested today or to
night, but the deputies refused tc
! give any names.
