MISSING MEN
NOT LOCATED

No word had been received today
from groups of searchers in quest
of u. H. Tatman and r. S. Nc
Dowell, Los Angeles businessmen,
who failed to return from a hunt
ing trip on Salton Sea upon which
they departed four days ago.
The two men left Sea View beach
on Salton Sea and have not been
found since.
Lieutenant Pollard and obSer-
yer in a scout plant circling over
the sea late yesterday afternoon re-
ported an overturned boat a mile
from shore at a point where New
River pounrS into Salotn Sea. Sher-
iff George L. Campbell arranged
or the use of the plane with Cap
tain c. w. LeGette at Camp Brod-
man at Yuha Wells.
Several planes and boats joined
the search yesterday afternoon and
continued the task again today.
The discovery of the overturned
boat strengthens the belief that
the men drowned in the storm
which arose shortly after they left
the shore in a small boat rented
at the Sea View service station at
dawn Saturday.
Cold weather, snow and rain are
believed to have nullified chances
for survival of the men even if they
were able to land on the opposite
side of the sea.

MILLS SETS
BEER REVENUE
Estimate On Basis OF $5 Per
Barrel Much Less Than Total
Given By Wet Supporters.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. U.Pg -
Secretary of Treasury Mills today
estimated that legalized beer taxed
at SIS a barrel would bring between
$125, 100000 and $150,000,000 to the
federal treasury in the fiscal year
1884.
Mills laid his estimates before the
house ways and means committee
in hearing on the Collier bill to
legalize beer and naturally fer
mented wine.
He warned that beer alone would
not balance the federal budget, but
said the goal is definitely in sight"
His estimate of beer revenue was
much lower than figures placed be-
fore the committee by enthusiast
tic vets. Some of them have esti-
mated the tax would bring in as
much as $500,000000.
Mills said the Collier bill pro-
visions for taxation of wines ap-
peared impossible of administra-
tion in that it gives no working de-
finition of what liquors are sub
ject to the tax" Hence he made no
estimate of wine revenue.
The treasury secretarys pre-
pared statement to the committee
contained. no hint whether Presi-
den Hoover would veto a beer bill.
Committeeman hoped to elicit in
formation from him on this point
later.
Dodges Answer
Majority Leader Rainey, commit
tee member, broached the question
after Mills had completed his pre-
pared statement, asking the secre-
tary if he believed the President
would sign a modification bill.
"Oh, Mr.. Rainey," Mills said,
smiling, Il am not here to speak
for the President"
II am speaking as secretary of
the treasury" continued Mills.
But the President didn't say
anything in his message" Rainey
rejoined
"Of course the bill covers social
and constitutional questions that
do not fall within our province.
can only speak as secretary of
the treasury and I am only speak
ing personally" Mills said.
Mills based his revenue figures
on an estimate that consumption
of beer in 1884 would be 25,000,0 900
or 30,000,0O0 barrels, depending on
the number of states in which the
sale of the new beverage will be
made legal during the coming year. "
He said immediate sale of beer
was reasonably certain" in Arizo-
ma, California, Maryland, Massa-
chusets, Michigan, Missouri, Mon
tana, Nevada, New Jersey, New
York, North Dakota, Oregon, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, Washington
and Wisconsin.

suit in superior court asking that

WANTS PEACE
WITH RUSSIA
Senator Borah Urges Establish
ment Of Diplomatic Relations
Between U. S. And Soviet.
BY LYLE C. WILSON

United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright 1882 by United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. U.P)-
Chairman Borah of the senate for
eign relations committee in an in
terview with the United Press to-
day urged recognition of Soviet
Russia to ameliorate unemploy-
ment and other domestic and in
ternational ills.
Borah spoke cautiously but sig
nificantly of the effect United
States recognition would have in
the troubled far east.
"The establishment of diploma
tic relations" he said, "would have
a direct and most favorable bear
ing upon the situation in the Or
lent"
BY that phrase, Borah was re-
ferring in part to the problems Gre
ated by Japan's policy in Man
churia and establishment there of
a state under japanese domina-
tion. Some well-informed persons
have expressed the belief that had
Moscow and Washington been on
speaking terms in September, 1881,
the japanese descent on Man
churia might not have taken place.
But Borah contented himself to-
day with the single reference to
the Orient.
The senator has been a consiS-
tent champion of Russian recog-
milton but never was able to per-
suade Presidents Harding, Cool
idge or Hoover. He reiterated to-
day that recognition is urgently de-
sirable.
There is scarcely a matter of
International Importance that would
not be favorably affected" he
said, "by the establishment of dip
lomatic relations between this
country and the government of
Russie.
I'VE are all interested in world
peace, in disarmament, in the re-
storation of economic conditions
and the betterment of trade, in
improving unemployment. T h e
Russian question involves all these
matters"
Borah constantly argues that the
United States hurts itself in refuS-
ing diplomatic relationship to the
Soviets.

GREAT BRITAIN WILL MAKE
COLD PAYMENT TOMORROW

the Lausanne conference, a final
settlement might have been made
on the spot" he commented.
Explains Plans
Explaining the system for tomor-
rows payment, he said:
THE federal reserve bank in New
York city will provide in New York
the amount of gold required to
meet the payment, and the Bank
of England will earmark in London
simultaneously to the account of
the federal reserve an equivalent
amount of gold"
Chamberlain defended Stanley
Baldwin, who negotiated the set
tlement with the United States,
from "spiteful charges" that he
had foisted the war debt burden
on Britain's shoulders, whereas he
actually obtained a remission of
the debt on which the basis of five
per cent, amounted to % per cent
of the original figure"
Chamberlain gave the house the
clear impression that if there is no
readjustment by next June Is,
when new payments are due, Bri-
tain cannot pay further.
He revealed that Britain had re-
jected an American proposal that
Britain pay in bonds to be mar
keted in the United States. THAT
was not postponement," he said.
1T was another and not very agree
able way to make payment
His reference to determination
to avoid default was particularly
cheered.

Air mail has fallen off since

Write a letter today. The

fault would have reSounded all

been taken as justification for

Defaults at this time and in
these circumstances would have
administered a moral shock to our
people," he said. "An appeal in
forma pauperis' to be allowed off
part of the debt would not have
been dignified"
Chamberlain praised the Hoover
moratorium for having saved the
situation in Europe, but added:
ut is no use, once it has been
put into operation, to think it is
impossible to go back to the sys-
tenn which existed before"

Guy ACCUSED
BY WARRANT

LONG BEACH. Dec. IA. U.P)-A
warrant charging first degree mur-
der blocked attempts today of Will
liam James Guy, youthful WEIGH
globe -trotter, to obtain his release
from Jail where he is being held
in connection with the Shipboard
Staying of Capt. Walter Wander
well.
After several days of indecis-
ion, the murder warrant was issued
last night by the district attorney
after the suspect had obtained a
writ of habeas corpus, returnable
today. Instead of securing his re-
lease, Guy was to be taken to
municipal court for arraignment.
At the same time, the district at
torney's office promised release to-
day of Ralph Dunlap, Glendale
airplane mechanic, who had been
held with his friend, Edward De
Larm, Indian free lance pilot, as
a material witness. De Larm, Guys
chief alibi witness, will be retained
in Jail unless he can furnish bond
which prosecutors said should be
at least $4,000. Both De Larm
and Guy insist the latter spent
the night of the murder at De
Larm's Glendale home, 80 miles
from Long Beach.
Although prepared to fight
against De Larm's release, investi-
gators eXonerated him of suspicion
that he was in Long Beach on the
night of the Staying. They de-
clared a street car conductors
tentative identification of him was
false. The conductor, they said,
confused the man he thought was
De Larm with a visitor from a

STEAM FOUND
IN GAS WELL

Drilling for carbon dioXide gas
10 miles north of Calipatria re-
suited in gas and steam blowing
from the we'll for hours at time
and led residents of the north end
to speculate upon the possibilities
of harnessing the steam for COM
mercial purposes.
w. o. Blair of Calipatria recent
ly made a visit to the we'll which
is situated on private property in
section % and said today that
drilling revealed many interesting
and promising results.
Coring of the hole has been 60
ing on below the 500 foot level,
he said, at which point Is feet OF
rock salt had to be cored out. Since
that time the heat has been build
ing up in the well. Blair said the
drill stems are SO hot when pulled
from the hole they must be hand
led with heavy gloves.
Steam from the well apparently
is "dry" with the heat increasing
as the hole is deepened
The we'll is being drilled by the
Salton Sea Chemical company on
the property of Mike Widman and
work has been under way for the
last two months.
Members of the chemical COM
pany, Blair said, are investigating
the possibility of securing carbon
dioxide gas to be used in the man
ufacture of dry ice" for refriger-
at:on and heat and steam to be
used in the generation of electric
power-both from the same well.
AS yet drilling has not reached
point where the final possibili-
ties of the well may be determined,
Blair said after his conversation
with representatives of the corpor-
alton doing the drilling.

j. s. SILENT
TN DEFAULT
By JOSEPH BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

Onlteu fTeSS Stdil Correspondence
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. U.PD-
A policy of silence toward France,
inspired by hope that it may yet
recognize the validity of its $4,000,
100000 war debt, was predicted to-
da by American official sources.
Fall of Premier Herriot's govern
ment and his announcement that
France would not pay $20,000,000
due the United States treasury
caused surprise here. There had
been reports that France would not
pay. but American officials doubt
ed them. They did not believe the
French would take this drastic
step.
No further pleas will be made to
France, it was indicated, nor are
reprisals contemplated. But govern
ment econimists fear that default
may automatically bring serious
consequences - imp arm en- t of
French credit and default on pri-
vate debts to France.
THE French must take the con-
sequences of their own act" one
official said. 1--WE will not argue
with them about the payment. We
will wait-at least for a while to
see what they say about the fu-
ture of their debt"
1t appeared that the treasury
will collect at least four-fifths Of
the current debt installments.
Great Britain, Italy and Czecho-
slovakia have promised to pay.
Their installments will account for
about $100,000,00O of the S125, ,0O0,-
600 due tomorrow.
Belgium, owing $2,125,OOO has
joined France in planning to de-
fault. Whether Poland, Latvia and
Lithuania will pay is yet unknown.
