Curtis found 1t possible to effect a reduction in the cost of government so, you see, it is possible to cut taxes.
 If I am elected mayor I will devote my time and attention to the problem of reducing taxes. If the common council and the board of finance and taxation will cooperate; if they will say, we have reached the point where we must stop for the time being, we will have made a start. Then, with an increase in revenue through proper and equitable assessment, which I pro- pose to bring about, and with the natural increase in the grand list, we will raise enough money to effect q substantial cut in taxes"
 Attorney McDonough read at length from Quiglcys record. and charged that in his six years in of fee the cost of running the city more than doubled. He then dc voted time to Quigley's promise of reassessment, reading from five Of Quiglcy's messages to the common council in which he discussed the need for reassessment which, how ever, was not made when Quigley left office. On this subject, he ask cd:
 If burdens and inequalities dc exist now. on whose shoulders lies the blame? Surely not on mine, but on his for every annual message read by him to the council stated that inequalities existed, but he di ! not rectify them.
 When MT. Quigley said he would present his record, l waited for him to do so. So far he has not done so but I have been very busy present ing it for him.
 At these words, the audience ap- plauded vigorously. Mr. McDonough. pleased, smiled and remarked: And I'm glad that you people up here in the sixth ward approve of my ac- ton in presenting it. You are sens- ing the important phases of this campaign, it is very apparent. You know my record and I have told you his. After hearing his, are you going to re-clect him?'
 A chorus of No came from all parts of the auditorium. Again MT. McDonough smiled and asked: "Is there anyone in the building who feels my opponent should be elect cd?' Again the walls echoed an emphatic No"

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MOLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, April 10 (N.ANA)-
With the hearty revival of rumors of
the Colleen Moore John Mccormick di-
vorce rife again, the actress mother
vigorously denies the story, which has
persistently chung for the last three
months.
Colleen Moore is one of the stars to
feel the heavy hand of talkies. One
sample of the new art and there was a
hiatus in her career. Nor have fore
most producers clamored for the high
priced services of this vivacious lassie.
Rumors of strife between the two
began shortly after the completion of a
million-dollar home. The investment
in clocks alone was worthy Of Grand
Central Station. But it takes more
than a mansion and the record outlay
in glass-faced timepieces to make a
home, it would seem. And the two
paths for several years now-Colleen
the star and John Mccormick the as
tute business manager-would seem to
have reached an impasse, according to
those close to them.
John Mccormick is one of the Alad-
dinS Of Hollywood. He left the Navy
stone broke at the conclusion of the
war, and five Of his buddies financed
him for the invasion Of Holly wood. It
wasn't an extensive investment. But
he got Job Of sorts. Later the buddies
heard he had married one Of the rising
young stars Of the village. It would
seem to be love plus. But love is like
that sometimes.
Now that young Dolores Costello has
arrived On the scene to carry on the
traditions Of Americas foremost acting
family, the former Dolores Costello
steps out Of the limelight of interest
and leaves the stage to Norma Shearer.

The best casts coming out of Holly
wood today are those drafted on the
free-lance system. Perhaps the forth
coming version of 1.-THE Bad Man" is
the outstanding example. The name
role will be in the hands of Walter
Huston, that excellent actor who is
free-lancing in this colony and thereby
fulfilling higher artistic norm than
he possibly could were he under con-
tract to a single studio.
The role of the Grabbed invalid will
be played by o P. Heggie, and If you
know this actors work you can plan a
treat to come. And the selfish husband
will be done by Lowell Sherman, an
other capable member of his profession.
The star system and the contract
system have prevented the assembling
Of such casts in many instances. In q
recent King Vidor production the direc-
tor could not have his choice for his
picture because financial exigencies
made it advisable for the picture to be
cast from the members of the studio
This puts handicap on the director,

Texts of notes exchanged be-

response to senatorial objections
that Stimson had brought from
London vaguely worded treaty
whose phraseology might be inter-

to the United States.
The senate also had before it to-
day another verbal but insistent de-
mand from the White House for
treaty action before senators 60

NORTHERN CITY
THREATENED BY
SERIOUS BLAZE

ISLETON, June 6. W.n)-Fire, or
iginating in Dunn's garage, des
troyed six buildings in the main
business block of this city early to.
day, doing damage estimated at
1925 900.
The flames, which could be seen
for miles along the Sacramento
Valley, threatened for time to en-
gulf the entire business district of
the city, asparagus center of the
Delta region and inhabited mostly
by Chinese.
There were no fatalities, accord
ing to a preliminary check after
the fire was under control. Four
firemen were slightly injured.
Investigators were of the opin.
ion that the fire originated from
spontaneous combustion in a pile of
oil soaked rags at the garage.
Virtually the entire population of
the city joined the volunteer fire
fighters. 1t was not until the ar
rival of the heavier fire apparatus
from nearby towns, however, that
the blaze was entirely controlled.
The annual three day asparagus
festival, which was to have started
at Il. M, today, will be delayed
only few hours, officials of the
city announced.
The carnival will continue, des-
pite the mass of charred buildings
which were galley decorated with

Probably without power to prose

According to the district attor-
ney's office, the grand jury will

of recommending legislation to pre-
vent similar occurrences.
Such legislation was suggested by
a corOner's jury which attributed
the disaster to poor seamanship
and lack of regulations covering

In this connection, the city attor-
ney of Santa Monica, near where
