ARMED PEACE IN
EGYPT FOLLOWS
DEMONSTRATION

CAIRO, July %. W.H-Armed
peace was restored to Egypt today
after police, aided in some cities by
troops, had Succeeded in supprcssing
the riotous outbreaks of inflamed
lower class youths and hoodlums.
The death toll from riots in
Cairo and Port said totallcd nine,
while at least 2O6 persons were in
jurcd in those cities and at Sucz,
including many police. Five were
killed and l20 injured in Cairo
alone.
The acts of vandalism that swept
through Cairo rs racing bands of
ruffians, many of them boys under
II years of age, rushed through the
city all day yesterday, left the
streets cluttercd with broken lamp
posts, glass, upturned trees, stones
and bricks. Despite the thorough
prccautiQiis of Pfemicr Sidky
Pasha's government, the mobs got
out of hand several times, and the
casualties were inflicted when po-
lice were forced to fire on them.
The rioting had its origin in the
plans of the strong nationalist par
lament to convene parliament yes
tcrday, contrary to the wishes of
King Fuad, but the government
claimed that the outbreaks here
actually had no connection with the
controversy over the Egyptian
constitution, the bone of conten-
,ion between the nationalists and

DEFICIT
WORRIES
HOOVER
Melons Report Reveals
Two Hundred Million
Deficit Probable.
WILL CUT PROGRAM
One Per Cent Tax Reduc-
ton May Rave To Be
Eliminated.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July %. W.H -
President Hoover is concerned over
the possibility of an increase in in
come taxes.
1t was HAT concern which
prompted the recent searching cx-
animation of expenditures which
Mr.. Hoover ordered for all govern
mcnt departments, it was learned at
the White House today.
Reports received by the Presi-
dent from Secretary of Treasury
Mellon indicate the present fiscal
year will be closed next June 80
with n deficit Of at least $209, ,000,-
coo more than last year
II is the Presidents purpose, the
United rrcss has learned, to cut
this contemplated program of cx-
penses by al least 800, 900, 900 with
out interfering with the employ
mcnt program. Cabinet members
are to be asked at today's meet
ings for suggestions as to how the
500, 900 can be made up.
If such rigid economy can be
effected, Mr.. Hoover will be able
to erase $l00.000,000 of the deficit
which Mr.. Mellon has predicted.
This probably would enable him to
continue the | per cent tax reduc-
,ion granted last spring, because
there would be little danger in
closing the year with a deficit of
only $4,000, 900.
Should he fail, however, the |
per cent reduction may have to be
eliminated and there is fear that a
further increase may have to be
made.

officer and prohibition ace, came
some weeks ago, according to the
story, into possession of the radio
"landing code" used in sending

ing imminent liquor landings. \a
sooner did the government acquire
the code, the story goes, than the
rum runners found il out, and then
began the game that was played
with minor variations all the way
from Eureka to Monterey
The mother ships would send
messages instructing truck drivers
to wait at certain cove for the

SAFETY PROGRAM
AT HETCH HETCHY

san FRANCISCO, July %. U.P
Indications were strong today
that San Francisco will cancel its
wager Of men against water that
cost 10 lives within the last six
weekh.
Should the city elect to adopt
the sweeping program of safety
regulations in the Hetch Hetchy
water project recommended at yes
terdav's meeting of the board of
supervisors, there is a possibility
that all work will be called off for
six months 50 that Improvements
may be made
The delay, according to city en-
gineer NJ. NJ. O'Shaugnessy. would
cost upward or Sl000,000 and
would seriously aggravate the pos
sibility of water shortage.
Officials in charge of Hetch
IIetchy. were warned last February
that the tunnel harbored dangerous
umulationh of methane gas, ac-
cording to the 96 page report pre-
pared by s. II. Ash, mining engineer
of the L. S. bureau of mines. \
recommendation that certain pre-
cautions be taken was made at that
time, Ash said.
The recommendation were not
carried out, O'Shaughnessy told the
supervisors, because they seemed
unnecessary and expensive"
The report was endorsed by the
federal government and the state
industrial accident commission.
French, Ash and O'Shaughnessy

the senate dealt with II others in
sim liar fashion. Chairman Hale of
the naval affairs committee sensed
the temper of the senate. His reSer-
vations were withdrawn.

end, along with Senator Moses, Re
