LEGISLATORS TO

OVER WEEK END
Will Make Effort To
Settle Reapportionment
Squabble

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 81.
With the legislature adjourned un-
til Monday, legislative leaders went
into series of weekend caucuses
today in the hope of effecting a
compromise on the conflicting re-
apportionment bills adopted by the
two houses.
First hearings on the two meas
ures by Edward Craig, Brea, redis-
tricting the state into congression-
al and legislative districts, will
come before the senate reappor-
tionment committee next Tuesday.
Plenty of verbal fireworks are
promised.

est of harmony, 1t is stated, as each
author will have bill before the
legislature bearing his name. Nc
Kinley's assembly reapportionment
bill, adopted by the senate last
week, is now before the assembly.
The main differences between the
two measures, briefly, are these:
Assembly reapportionment-Craig
bill provides 81 assemblymen for
Los Angeles. 10 for San Francisco
eight for Alameda; Mckinley bill
provides 80 for Los Angeles, nine
for San Francisco, seven for Ala
media and two for Orange.
Congressional reapportionment-
Craig measure would divide the
states 20 congressman on the basis
of 10 for northern California and
10 for Southern California. This
would give Los Angeles seven
congressman, San Francisco and
San Mateo counties three, and Ala
media county two. Mckinley would
apportion the state on an Zig
basis in favor of southern Califor-
mia. giving Los Angeles eight ma
tional representatives. San Francis

TALLMAN TRAIL
PROVES TO BE
FALSE ALARM

GUATEMALA CITY, Guatemala,
March 81. tU.P)-What was expected
to climax a two-year search Tor
william Loren Tallman, accused OF
the murder of Mrs. Virginia Patty
in Los Angeles, proved just another
false trial today as investigators an
nounced they would leave for home
on the first boat, convinced that
their suspect was not Tallman
Deputy District Attorney Robert
p. Stewart and Detective James
Starrit of Los Angeles told the
United Press correspondent here
that a man whom they had been
tipped" was Tallman, was per-
feet double for the suspect, but that
fingerprints and other Identification
did not tally.
Tallman was reported to have fled
here following his escape from a
boat between Los Angeles and San
Francisco, and to have taken a job
as radio operator.
Police claim that Tallman, enam-
ored of Mrs. Patty, killed her with
brick when she announced she
was returning to her husband. a
wealthy resident of Portland, Ore.
Tallman was questioned By news
papermen as he boarded his ship
at San Pedro, Calf, on which he
was radio operator, but police Off
GERS arrived too late.
Placed under lock by the captain
Tallman was not to be found when
the ship reached San Francisco.

WASHINGTON. March 81. Up
Secretary of Commerce Lamont

the depth of the business depression
in January but offered encourage
ment with the official estimate at

This figure represented the esti-
mate of able bodies unemployed who
were seeking work on the basis Of
the departments new census.
The administration estimate,
based on a careful house 10 house
canvass by 4700 enumerators In 10
large cities, is two and half times
the unemployment figure announe-
ed by the census bureau as of last
April, is higher than the count Of

VINDICATION OF
WALKER AWAITED
BY TAMMANY MEN

NEW YORK, March 81. U.P)-
The belief among Tammany lead
ers grew stronger today that Mayor
James j. Walker would be yindi-
Gated by Governor Roosevelt of the
charges Of incompetency and mis-
feasance filed against him by the
city affairs committee.
There was no apparent basis for
the belief, however, for Governor
Roosevelt continued his policy of
silence, and announced at Albany
that there would be no development
before Monday
It was releaved yesterday that
Charles C. Birmingham, president of
the Bar Association, drafted the
charges against District Attorney
Thomas c. T. Grain, which are now
being investigated by Judge Samuel
Seabury as special commissioner of
Governor Roosevelt.
This was taken as explaining in
part the recent charges by Charles
K. Kerrigan, assistant to Mayor
Walker, that the charges against
Grain were to divert attention from,
the inquiry into the closed bank OF
United States, for it was learned
that the Grain charges were pre-.
pared in the law office of Emory
| r. Buckner.
Buckner is attorney for Pau
Singer, executive vice president o
the defunct bank.
1t was asserted that John NJ. Har
Ian, member of Buckner's law firm
