WOMAN lURIST

LOS ANGELES. July 15. U.P)-
Municipal Judge Ida May Adams
had resigned from the Los Angeles
Bar association today after declar-
ing it did not represent the $3.50
practicing attorneys in the county.
Judge Adams recently was sharp
ly criticized in bar plebiscite on
superior court candidates
In her letter Of resignation. the
jurist bitterly assailed the plebi-
scite. She declared that Of the 636
attorneys who gave answers re-
specting her judicial work, only 2o3
claimed to have appeared as coun-
sci in her court.
The judge attacked the leaders
whom she stated were in control OF
the bar association but declared
she had high esteem for the mem
bers Of the Los Angeles County
Bar association.
1T appears to me that this COM
mittee of Is (which conducted the
plebiscite) has gone far afield in
its endeavor to libel and discredir
several lawyers and judges, includ-
ing myself" Judge Adams wrote to
Lawrence Larrabee, senior vice.

Eicher, an advance scout, charged
with the duty of seeking an alliance
with Robertson. The crippled lead
er peered from under the steel
brace that. keeps his injured neck
in place and said
"If you fellows want to come up
here as individuals and raise blist-
ers on your feet with us. it's okay.
But we're not going to have any
thing to do with you as an organi-
zation."
You fellows are trying to keep
up a policy of isolation" Eicher
shouted, land you're not helping
us to get the bonus in that way"
well, you've got my answer"
Robertson replied, walking away.
Eicher reported back to John
Pace, leader of the Ex-Service Mems
League contingent, and bugles
sounded the advance. PAGES men
marched directly in front of the
capitol, and began shouting Con
gress must not adjourn, congress
must not adjourn"
Double time," croaked Robertson
to his men in voice worn thin
from issuing orders.
The California contingent dog
trotted away, Robertson at their
head.
AS he double timed along the
concrete, he explained why he was
withdrawing from the immediate
front of the capitol:
II don't want my outfit to get
mixed up with that bunch. We're
a separate organization and if they
want to stand there and shout, Well
go over here piece and do our
parading."
Morale was high in the Califor-
MIA outfit. Robertson worked them
in shifts through the night, keeping
a squad always on duty and allow
ing most of his men to get some
sleep on the concrete.
Speaker Garner said today he be-
lieved the law regarding parades
and picketing on the capitol
grounds should be enforced.
"I favor sufficient force to see
that law is enforced" he said, mo

He added that it was his under

Judges Election
Frowned Upon
By Grand Jury

LOS ANGELES, July is. U.P)-
Revision of state receivership prac-
tees in Los Angeles county was
demanded today in a report of the
county grand jury.
The report embodied recommend
atoms for drastic changes in the
system as a result of the American
Mortgage company receivers scan
dal.
The report was a voluminous af-
fair Of 1900 pages carrying the
testimony of 81 witnesses who ap-
peared in the lengthy investigation
of the receiyership situation as
barred by the mortgage company
expose.
The grand jury. commenting on
Its findings, divided responsibility
for the conditions" between the
conduct OF officials and individuals,
and to the loose conditions and
procedure under which they oper-
ated."
The report made no direct COM
ment on the superior court judges
whose names figured in the inves-
tigation of the American Mortgage
company scandal. but it attacked
the system whereby a candidate
for the judiciary must create a po-
litical organization exclusively de-
voted to his election or reelection.

with the completion of the ma
jor legislative program of June.
the public attitude has changed
from suspense 10 confidence. +"
states the editor of the La Sale
publication. This confidence is
not so much an indication of COM
plete satisfaction with the legisla-
ton as it is a satisfaction in know
ing where we stand. Constructive
measures, whose purpose is the
restoration of business activity. are
beginning to show a little in the
way of results every week. Even
in the second week of June, bank
clearings increased until the de-
cline was only 313 per cent less
than for the corresponding period
in 1881, as compared with declines
of 46, 48 and al per cent in the
spring months"
The report states that large
scale disbursements are not likely
to be in evidence until fall and
pronounced trade stimulation is
not likely to occur until winter.
While general industrial production
is approximately 46 per cent below
that of the corresponding period
of 1921, output is running under
consumption in an increasing num-
Der of lines. The smaller indus
tries appear to be the first to show
recovery, having aligned their op-
erations with altered trends more
quickly and easily than most OF
the larger enterprises.
1t is stated that pronounced
upturn in retail trade is indicated
in SIS key cities of the United
States and it is believed that in
tensive advertising has had much
to do with maintaining this favor
able sales situation. Buyers are
reported to be more in evidence in
wholesale markets than for a long
time and their purchases are run
ming up to sizeable amounts, 1t is
stated.
The staff of the Ell Centro cham
Der, in making their monthly busi-
ness survey, find no changes in
conditions in Imperial Valley in
the past month. Retail sales and
credit collections remain about the
same and it is not believed that
conditions will show any decided
changes until the end of the sum-
mer season.

United Press Staff Corresponds

PARIS, July 15.-Premier Edouard
Herriott, clarifying his Wednesday
remarks before the foreign affairs
commission, told the United Press
today that the Franco-British ac-
cord does not affect any British
debt settlement with the United
States.
"A false Interpretation Of my re-
marks has caused misunderstand-
ing" he said. The impression be-
came current that l was referring
to the Franco-British accord when
I actually meant the gentleman's
agreement at Lausanne.
In mentioning the British debt
settlement with the United States,
I referred to the gentlemans agree
ment, not the Franco-British
accord"
Without confirming that he had
made the reported statement that
Britain is unable to negotiate with
the United States without con-
sulting France, Herriot pointed out
the gentleman's agreement provides
that the Lausanne accord is in
effective until all Germany's credi-
tors reach a satisfactory settlement
with their own creditors.

DEFEAT OF TAX
BILL ADVOCATED
BY GRAND JURY

LOS ANGELES, uly Is. U,P) =
Defeat of the tax equalization in
itiative bill" to be placed on the
November ballot, was recommended
by the county grand jury's taxa
ton and budgets committee in a
report released today.
The committee, in recommending
defeat of the measure, pointed out
that the bill contemplates a further
expenditure of tax monies by school
authorities. Although the burden OF
the tax would be removed from the
county to the state, the taxes would
nevertheless be paid by the people
Of the county, it was declared.
The committee recommended that
the elaborate list of courses, some
of which are far from the essentials
of a practical education be elm
mated from the school curriculums,
II was further recommended that
publicity be given the school budget
TO let the taxpayers know when and
how tax monies are being spent by
the board of education.
The committee found that al
though nearly every other branch
of the county government had
sought to reduce its budget, insult
ficient reductions in the operation
costs of the school system had been
effected.
The committee does not favor
any impairment of real education in
our schools, but believes certain
subjects could be eliminated to the
advantage of the taxpayer without
impairing the efficiency of our ed
ucation program" the report said.

Calipatria Tax
Case Postponed

A test of Calipatria's license tax
on wholesale peddlers was post
poned for two weeks this morning,
when a superior court order was

order to show cause why the city
should not be restrained from en-
forcing the tax in a misdemeanor
charge against a salesman for the
A. B. Shaw company of San Diego
Shaw brought suit asking an in
junction to prevent the Calipatria
city judge. city marshall and the
city, itself, from proceeding with
trial of the charge against the sales
man. He was charged with selling
automobile parts without having
procured a license to do so.
1t is the contention of the San

ordinance providing for the tax is
unconstitutional.
