PETITIONS FOR
SOLDIER BONUS
Delegation OF Veterans
Parades To Capitol At
Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 8. UP
Veterans organizations today car
ried their battle for cash bonus leg
islation to the foot of the capitol
steps.
A parade of a thousand Legion
naires and members of the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars presented to
assembled senators and congress-
men a petition said to contain more
than 2,400,000 signatures demanding
payment of the bonus.
The veterans. many of them
wearing the faded olive drab uni
forms in which they fought over
seas, were accompanied by three
bands and scores of color bearers
carrying national, Legion, and War
Veterans flags.
They were met on the capitol
steps by group of senators and
congressman headed by Senator Nc
Nary (Rep0 oregon, and Majority
Leader Rainey of the house, who
officially received the petition.
Rainey promised the paraders
that it would be considered by the
house ways and means committee
when it begins its hearings on bonus
legislation next week.
The gathering was in the main
orderly except when one loud voiced
ex-soldier yelled "the White House
next"
He was answered by roar from
the veterans, who shouted disap-
proval of President Hoover's deter
mined opposition to bonus legisla-
ton.
when do we eat" whooped an
soldier.
1--WE want the bonus and fast,
another yelled.
The crowd then began calling
for Representative Patman Dem0
Texas, a leader of bonus advocates
in the house.
The Texan, who had been stand
ing in the background covered by
others in the crowd of congressman
and senators moved forward to re-
ceive his cheers.

CHEMISTS SEEK
CAUSE OF RACE
HORSES DEATH

SAN FRANCISCO, April 8. (U,H-
Definite cause of the untimely death
of phar Lap, famous Australian
race horse, awaited a chemists an
alysis today after federal agents
had established that poison sprays
or leaves around his stables were
not responsible.
An investigation of the paddock
at Ed Perry's ranch in Menlo Park,
where the RED Terror" died of in
digestion Tuesday. showed only oak
trees and grass were growing, q.
j. Morton of the department OF
agriculture said.
Chemists at the University OF
California are subjecting the racers
internal organs to every known test,
from which they expect to estab-
lish the true cause of death.
Meanwhile a San Francisco tax
idermist began stuffing Phar Lap
hide to preserve it for a permanent
exhibition in Australia. The task
will require several months, he said.
The remains of the horse were
consigned to a burial plot at the
Perry ranch late yesterday, with
Phar Laps sad little retinue as
chief mourners. He was buried
near the first grave of another
great racer, Ormonde, from which
the adjacent suburb of Ormondale
took its name.
Ormondes body was disinterred
several years ago and placed in the
British museum.
Phar Laps heart was given to his
co-owner, David j. Davis of San

MIXED JURY TO
HEAR EVIDENCE
IN ISLAND CASE
BY DAN CAMPBELL
Press Staff Corresponds

Copyright, 1882, BY United Press
HONOLULU, T. H., April 8. - A
jury of many strange racial mix
lures held the fate today of an AM
erican society matron and three
navy men as they stood ready to
plead the unwritten law against
charges of Staying a brown-skinned
native youth.
Twelve men, ranging from Nor
die blonds to tanned sons of the
South Seas, we're bound together by
a common oath to uphold the law
in Hawaii's most famous murder
case.
Defense and prosecution, never
theless, made sure of balance be-
tween whites and browns before
agreeing on a panel.
Two other figures entered the
case today as the defendants waited
at Pearl Harbor navy base for re-
sumption OF the Vial Monday. They
were Drs. Edward Huntington Will
liams and James Arbison, noted Los
Angeles psychiatrists, Nho arrived
here incognito in response to an
urgent summons"
With the jury finally chosen al
ter four days of legal maneuvering,
the presence of the alienists was
regarded as Clarence DarroW'S first
surprise" in bolstering the defense's
case.
This alarm Clock or tempor-
ary insanity-a legal refuge for the
unwritten law-again rose as the
likliest plea for Mrs. Granville Ro-
land Fortescue, middle-aged New
York and Washington socialite; her
young son-in-law, LIT. 0g) Thomas
H. Massie, and two seamen, Edward
Lord and Albert Jones.
Blocked from retaining DR.. Robert
B. Faus, Hawaii's only recognized
alienist, because he also is city
county physician here, the defense
caused no surprise by seeking main
land experts. Montgomery Winn,
associated with Darrow in defend
ing the Americans, would neither
confirm nor deny that they had
called the Los Angeles doctors.

EVANGELIST SAYS
ANCELUS TEMPLE
NOT TO Be SOLD

LOS ANGELES, April 8. U.H-
Aimee Semple McPherson-H Hutton,
noted woman evangelist, denied re-
ports today that she was nego-
tiating to sell Angelus temple, home
of her foursquare gospel.
II can say to you truthfully,"
she told United Press, that Rev.
Paul RAIDER had approached neither
myself nor my husband with an
offer to purchase the temple. I
can say truthfully, too, that if he
should approach us he would be
turned down.
1T is hard to tell what will hap
pen in the future, of course, but
for the present we have no inten-
ton of disposing of the temple
LOS ANGELES, April 8. U.P)-
Aimee Semple Mcpherson Hutton
was reported today to be negotiat-
ing the sale of Angelus Temple and
other church property for an esti-
mated price of approximately
81 100000 and to be planning two
year retirement to regain her shat
tered health.
The unconfirmed report named
the Rev. Paul RAIDER, widely known
evangelist, as the other party in the
negotiations. The contract, which
was reported to be ready for sigma
ture, would require down payment
of $4,000 and an agreement on the
part of Mrs. Hutton not to conduct
religious services in Los Angeles for
| two years. it was said.
The sale, it was reported, would
include the Bible school, parson-
age, radio and church property held
by the Echo Park evangelist asso-
citation in many parts of the world.
Mrs. Hutton, it was said, would hold
a mortgage on the property for the
balance of the price, reported to be
many hundreds of thousands of dol
! lars. Her followers believed a price
of $1,000,000 was being discussed.
1t was said Mrs. Hutton and her
husband would take a trip around

the evangelist's health. She recent

TWO BRAWLEY
YOUTHS FOUND
GUILTY BY JURY
Third Acquitted But I'm
mediately Rearres t e d
On New Charge.

Edgar Sparks and Noel Ozbirn
this morning were declared by a
jury to be guilty of robbing the
West store last January 4, while
Carl Ozbirn, third of the trio
charged with the robbery, was
acquitted.
Carl Ozbirn. however. was i'm
mediately re-arrested on another
charge of robbery growing out of
the same holdup, and was ordered
by Judge A. c. Finney held until
2 o'clock, when a complaint was
to be filed against him.
Thus, while Edgar Sparks and
Noel Ozbirn are already as good as
in San Quentin penitentiary, "a
which they will be sentenced next
Friday, Carl Ozbirn will be facing
another superior court trial, this
time on technical charge of rob-
bing Toga Epperson of So.
Epperson was in the West store
when P. j. and A. ]. Clark, pro-
prietors, were held up and robbed
of two slot machines, cash regis
ter, candy, cigars, cigarettes and q
large sum Of money. The bandits
took So from Epperson, marching
him across the road and instruc-
ting him to keep quiet.
On the witness stand during this
trial, Epperson identified the three
among them Carl Ozbirn, as the
ones who held up the store.
Carl Ozbirn was acquitted, ont
juror said today, as the result o.
a compromise verdict. The jury
had been out since early yesterda7
morning, returning a verdict only
at 1880 this morning.
Fred Thompson, defense attor-
ney, during the trial made no eff.
fort to free the other two boys
but directed every attention to ar
effort to prove Carl had no hanc
in the robbery.
Since Toga Epperson was no
named in the complaint on which
the three boys were tried thi'
week, Carl technically still MAJ
be charged with his robbery.

LINDBERCH ASKS
NORFOLK MEN TO
KEEP Up SEARCH

HOPEWELL, n. j., April 8. U.P,--
Norfolk negotiations for return OF
the kidnapped son of Col. and Mrs.
Charles A. Lindbergh assumed
fresh importance today following
the flyers request that the three
men there continue their efforts.
A lull in activities here seemed
to indicate, and was borne out
further by Lindbergh's word to the
Norfolk negotiators, that whatever
hope entertained during the last 48
hours for the baby's speedy return
was somewhat decreased.
The Norfolk negotiators, Rear
Admiral Guy H. Burrage, John
Hughes Curtis, shipbuilder and the
Rev. H. Dobson- Peacock, announced
that they were ready to leave al
a minutes notice" when able to
resume contact with those they be-
lieved are holding the kidnapped
infant.
Admiral Burrage, spokesman, did
not hold his usual press conference
last night. owing to miSunder-
standing regarding the questions
newSpapermen were to ask. Earlier,
however, in answer to a question
he made this statement:
"Yes, Colonel Lindbergh has
asked us to continue
This positive information that
the flyer places some hope in the
clues apparently unearthed by the
Norfolk men was in contrast t.
previous statements. by Col. H.
Norman Schwartzkopf, of the New
Jersey state police, that Colonel
Lindbergh does not believe the
Norfolk activities have any specific
significance.

r. Pickett, 72, was held in the
county Jail today following gun
attack last night in which he shot
and wounded his wife and Ernest

weapon on his wife, Pickett fired
four times, one of the bullets
striking her in the neck.
He then fled from the scene and
went into hiding in a chicken shed,
where a posse took him into GUS

officers found him, the aged man
had slashed an artery in his right
wrist with a razor in an attempt
to end his own life.

clans said Bettinger's condition
was serious, while Mrs. Pickett suf-
fered only a slight flesh wound.

ANOTHER
SPLIT ON
TAX BILL
Rich And Poor Divided
On Means To Bring In
Most Revenue.
NORRIS ON WARPATH
Independent Leader To
Seek Heavy Rate I'M
posed On Wealthy.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, April 8. U.P -
The senate tax dispute is develop
ing into a struggle of rich man
against poor man.
Progressive Republicans and DEM
ocratS are forming poor mans
coalition to seek levies on the
wealthy even higher than those
which Secretary of Treasury Ogden
L. Mills condemned as semi-Social-
istic and virtually confiscatory.
Mills, leading the battle against
higher taxes on the rich, has tre-
mendous fortune One of his lead
ing senate antagonists in the con-
troversy over economic theories is
Senator George w. Norris, Rep)
Nebraska-a street car rider.
The secretary says the as per cent
maximum estate tax in the revenue
bill must come down to 25 per cent
or the capitalistic system will be
imperilled. Norris says the rate
must go up. Likewise with surtaxes
on large incomes. Back benchers
of both parties are organizing to
turn out the pockets of some multi
millionaireS, despite insistence of
their leaders that little revenue is
available in the higher brackets be-
cause depression has cut incomes.
Norris would give very liberal
exemptions" from inheritance taxes
to permit families to be provided
for even in luxury"
But after that" he said, "I
would impose high taxes-a rate
between rs and 100 per cent in ex-
cess of $100000,000 would be about
right
Senator Tydings, Democrat, Mary
land, today carried to the senate
floor the fight to eliminate coal
and oil tariffs from the revenue
bill. Tydings introduced resolu-
tion which, if adopted, would re-
quire the senate finance committee
to report the bill to the senate
without any tariff levies.
As passed by the house the bill
assessed one cent gallon against
imported gasoline, fuel oil and 9TH
er petroleum derivatives and 50 a
ton on imported coal. The house
ways and means committee esti-
mated the oil tariff would produce
$25,000,0 900 of revenue annually. The
treasury estimate was only $5,000,-
000 They agreed the coal tariff
would realize $500,000
The Tydings resolution not only
would eliminate coal and oil from
the bill but would prevent inclusion
of other tariff items by the finance
committee.
