he had "taken shot at couple Of

as well face the music" He told
Ross to take him in custody and the

In addition to his admission made
to Ross, O'Brien was identified by

the man who did the shooting.

In 4 confession made to District
Attorney Heald this afternoon, the
prisoner gave j. H. Savage as his
right name and told of his move

he shot and killed Judd and Collins,
giving as his reason that they ought
to be killed because of some grudge
he had against them.
He had talked to both Of these
men yesterday morning in front Of
the Calipatria Catholic church at
which time Collins asked him to
come out to his house. Saying that
he would come later on, the slayer
went with Judd to bootlegging

On the way back, they stopped to
take drink when Judd was shot,
his body being left at the side Of
the road.
Following the shooting Of Collins,
Savage said he drove south through
Holtville and when the ear he had
stolen became stuck in the sand,
passing motorist tried to pull him
out. Failing to do so Savage start
ed on foot for Arizona, but was Civ
en- a lift as far as Bard. He spent
the night in a pile of cotton near

ney.

fan election will be discussed by city
councilmen Monday night, Paul
Rathert, election committee chair
man, announced today.
Ratherts committee is making
preliminary study of the congested

cincts. The ideal size precinct would
be 500 voters but many have as
many as 1.40O, Rathert said.

GOULD CLAIMS RIGHT TO MAKE
AND DRINK BEER AND WINES
Maine Senator Admits He Got
"Good Results" With Un-
fermented Grape Juice.
Advocate of Modification of
Dry Laws, He Defends
Home Brewing.

PRESQUE ISLE, Me, June 90 N).-
Maine, which rs years ago adopted a
prohibitory liquor law, today learned
that its junior United States Senator,
elected on a dry platform, was an ad-
vocate of modification.
Senator Arthur r. Gould, Republican,
in support of testimonial letter in
which he told a grape juice company
he had secured some very good re-
suits from the concerns unfermented
product, asserted that it was his right
to have, make and drink" light wines
and beer.
Everybody who knows me-" he
added, Knows that the sentiments re-
lating to prohibition as expressed in
that letter are my sentiments" He
said that the licensing of light wines
and beer would be a great improve
ment over the present prohibition law,
which seems impossible to enforce"
Drys to oppose His Reelection.
The Senator's statement drew i'm
mediate announcements from Anti
Saloon leaders that the States dry
forces would be aligned against his re-
election q year hence.
The letter was made public in St
Louis civil action after counsel for the
grape juice company said 1t would be
introduced to refute claims that the
concerns product was unsatisfactory.
Questioned at his home here, Sen
ator Gould was vehement in defense
of his right to have, make and drink
wine and beer. Residents of his own
section of Northern Maine made wine
from elderberries and grapes, he said
God Almighty put those flowers and
vines en- the earth and he intended
them to be used"
In the testimonial, dated May II,
1927, Senator Gould wrote:
LAS you know, come from a prohibi-
tion State. and am supposed to be a
prohibitionist, but / am about as loyal
TO the prohibition element as some of
these Southern Democrats are to the
Democratic party. While am from a
prohibition State, and find 1t is not
policy to be too outSpoken as to my
statements, don't mind telling you and
the world that I believe q license for
light wines and beer would be great
Improvement over the present prohibi-
ton law"
Voted Against Jones Law.
Senator Gould, who was elected in
1926 to I'LL the unexpifed term of the
late Bert M. Fernald, voted against the
recently enacted Jones law, which i'm
poses stiff penalties for liquor law vio-
lations, because he had always stood
that way" He has not announced his
candidacy for reelection.

amusing, some interesting and some
bordering on the dramatic. They have
served to release scientists after arrest
and have opened customs lines for
travellers who had almost deSpaired OF
getting their baggage through.
After two visits to Russia with Borah
letters, DIR. Morden recently wrote for
q third, explaining that he had found
them a great help to himself and his
companions. He once recounted how
such letter had obtained the release
of himself and the other members OF
his expedition after they had been de-
tanned three weeks by Mongols.
Another bearer Of Borah letter re-
ported that he entered the country with
q passport, asked the proper official for
permission to take photographs, was re-
fused, and then given an unlimited
permit after producing letter from
Senator Borah.
As Senator Borah explains, for years
It was difficult for Americans to get
into Russia. Perhaps this was the rea-
son for the first requests received by
the Senator, who for years has per-
sistently urged that the United States
change its policy Of non-recognition OF
the Soviet Union.

went to Paris to obtain passport from
the Russian Ambassador there. He
was repeatedly put off and finally con-
cluded to show his letter from Senator
Borah. A passport was issued inn
mediately. Upon leaving the American

embassy for 1t.
YES. YOU had better take that witls

saying. "That Is worth . good deal

PRESIDENT IS HOST
TO WAR VETERANS
Disabled Ex-Service Men
Guests at Annual
Lawn Party.

Several hundred disabled World War
veterans and q group of veterans of the
Spanish and Civil Wars we're the guests
yesterday afternoon of the President
and Mrs. Hoover at picturesque lawn
party on the south grounds of the
White House. The veterans of the
World War came in motor buses from
Walter Reed General Hospital. the
psyehiatric wards of ST. Elizabeth's and
other veterans hospitals in and near
Washington.
While the Marine Band played patri-
otic airs the veterans filed past and
shook hands with the President and
Mrs. Hoover on the lawn. Many Of
them were on crutches or in wheeled
chairs. Nurses from the hospitals ac-
companied the veterans in many In
stances.
Had Been Postponed.
This annual outing Of the veterans
with the President and First Lady of
the Land was to have been held We'd
nesday afternoon, but at the last minute
it was postponed on account of the
threatening weather Although it
"
the afternoon remained clear and moth
ing happened to mar the enjoyment of
the occasion.
Mrs. Hoover and the President said a
few words of greeting and good cheer
for each of the veterans as they shook
their hands. Refreshments of ice cream
and fruit punch were served, and every
one agreed 1t was one Of the most en-
joyable occasions of the kind since the
veterans lawn parties at the White
House were first instituted.
Billy. the 'possum that has, been
adopted as President Hoover'S mascot,
was the center of much interest. The
Pl resident took group Of the veterans
over to see Billy, who is housed In the
cage on the lawn once occupied by Re
Billy Was Stranger.
Billy wandered into the White House
grounds several months ago and was
put in the cage. Later members of the
base ball teams of the Hyattsville High
School called to see whether it was
their oposSum mascot that had been
lost, but they were disappointed, for
Billy proved to be a stranger to them.
Ever since losing their 'possum the
base ball team had been losing games.
The players asked the President to let
them borrow Billy and Mr.. Hoover
readily consented. The team won the
championship in its league and this
week returned Billy to the White House.
President Hoover related Billy's in
teresting history to the veterans.
"A 'poSsum that can win base ball
championship ought to be lucky to have
about and I am going to keep him, -
concluded the President.

WINE MAKING HELD VIOLATION
DOran and LOwman Refuse to Comment
on Letter.

on Letter.
Prohibition enforcement officials hold
views in sharp contrast to those ex-
pressed by Senator Arthur r. Gould of
Maine in his defense of his right to
have, make and drink" light wines and
beers.
While Prohibition Commissioner Do
ran and Assistant Secretary Lowman
of the Treasury have refused to COM
ment on the Senator's letter, the two
officials have made it clear that they
regard the making of wine from fruit
juices as violation of the prohibition
law.
Publication Of the letter served as a
reminder that Doran has not announced
the result Of his recent survey of the
California grape Juice crop to determine
The ultimate use to which 1t was put
and whether any of it went into the
manufacture of Illicit liquor The COM
missioner declined to say just what he
expected would be shown when the
study was completed.
THE law permits only the manufac-
ture of unfermented fruit juices for ex-
elusive consumption In the home" he
said, land the manufacture of wine is
unlawful and punishable with the same
penalty as the manufacture OF any
other liquor"
The Prohibition Bureau has never
taken a great interest In the making of
wine or home brew in the home because
its forces are deemed inadequate to
start such a campaign.

FRANCE ASKS MORE
TIME TO PAY DEBTS
PoStponement Beyond Au-
gust ! Demanded in Cham
ber of Deputies.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 2B.--Pushed on by
almost unanimous parliamentary oppo-
sition, Premier Poincare sent to Wash
ington today another plea for post
ponement beyond August 1 of maturity
of Frances debt of S400, 100000 in
Cured in purchase of American war
stocks left in France when the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces went back
home.
The premier's plea was both un-
willing and with little hope of success,
but was made necessary by a reSolu-
ton of the Chamber Of Deputies in the
first hour today, asking that Ambas-
sador Claudel seek postponement Of the
maturity date so that France would not
be rushed In ratification of the Mellon
Berenger debt accord. The debt &C
cord would include the war stocks debt
in the general war debt to the United
States.
Deputy Makes Reply.
The resolution was passed after a
speech of Deputy Franklin Bouillon in
answer to 81 hours speechmaking by
NJ. Poincare, who sought to show why
immediate ratification of the debt ac-
cords with England and America was
necessary.
The deputy argued that France was
being railroaded into ratification, and
he declared he did not believe America
would be deaf to an appeal OF justice,
but IL America would not recognize
justice, then France would be able to
appeal to the justice of the world.
"Versailles was an American peace,
the Dawes plan was an American peace,
the Young plan was an American
peace" he argued land to all Of them
America has refused to subscribe"
Premier Complies.
When the chamber had expressed It's
will Premier Poincare told the depu-
ties he would apply himself with all
my devotion and al my patriotism" to
carry out its wishes.
There were various indications that
the plea might not ind a ready vel
come in the United States. News dis
no authority for postponing the ma
turity date, unless by special action of
Congress.
Today, alongside columns devoted to
the fiery chamber debate, which dis
rupted the governments entire program
of ratifications, there appeared short
dispatch from washington quoting Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon as saying
that If the debt settlement was not
ratified August he "presumes" France
will be ready to pay the bill OF
S4OO .0OO. 900 for the surplus war stocks
when It falls due on that date.
