BRITISH LEADER
TO CONFER With
FREE STATE HEAD

LONDON, June 6. U.H-J. H.
Thomas, dominions secretary, in
formed the house of commons to-
day that he and Lord HailSham,
secretary of state for war, were 60
ing to Dublin to negotiate the r.
ish dispute directly with President
Eamon De Valera.
De Valera, Thomas added, had
agreed after starting the negoti-
ations in Dublin, to come to Lon
don to resume the conversations
next Friday. Thomas announce
ment was complete surprise. 1t
indicated that although De Valera
is adamant on abolishing the oath
to the crown, he thinks a way may
be found around the difficulty
which will enable Britain to treat
with the Free State at Ottawa as
a co-equal merger of the COM
monWealth.
Thus he reverses his announced
policy last week of refusing to ne
gotiate further agreements with the
Free State, which was tantamount
to an official boycott.
Although De Valera's invitation,
conveyed by the Free State high
commissioner in London, requested
preliminary discussions regarding
Ottawa, it was believed the entire
oath and annuities controversy
would be covered in the Dublin
and London talks.
George Lansbury, Laborite, con-
graduated Thomas on arriving at
a common-sense agreement Ed
ward Graven-Ellis, national conser-
vative, expressed hope there would
be no compromise"
Thomas said he and Lord Halls
ham would leave for Dublin to-
night.
Lansbury asked if Lord Hailsham
were going as minister of war or
as former lord chancellor.
HE is accompanying me as a
member of the cabinet" Thomas
replied.

WHEN BANK SHUTS DOORS

HOLLYWOOD, June 6. (UP) -
Scores of screen stars, including
Greta Garbo, Will Rogers, Harold
Lloyd and Jean Harlow, were hit
hard by the closing of the First
National Bank of Beverly Hills, it
was reported here today.
Miss Harlow, the screens plati-
mum blonde, admitted to the United
Press that she had all her cash in
the institution when it halted busi-
ness Friday night on the order of
its directors.
Unfortunately, it is true" Miss
Harlow said when questioned
about her deposits in the bank Il
had in the First National every bit
of cash 1 had. 1t came at an eX-
ceptionally bad time for me be-
cause I had just made an especially
large deposit.
I'm hard hit but don't think
I'm the only one. Dozens of actors
and actresses kept their accounts
there"
Rogers and Lloyd both were re-
ported to be heavy depositors ir
the First National of Beverly Hills.
Rogers maintained an office in the
bank building.
The bank refused to give out any
information about its depositors.
1t was reported that the amount
Miss Harlow had in the institution
ran to six figures but she declined
to comment on that point.

WASHINGTON, June 6. - The
senate today passed the complete
billion dollar revenue bill and sent
the measure to President Hoover
for signature.
The action was taken over the
protest of a minority senate group
which attempted to throw the bill
back to conference on a point of
order.
The opposition centered on the
3 per cent electrical power tax.
The conference report put the tax
on the consumer. An insurgent
element fought this provision on
the ground that house and senate
conferees had backed down from
the original intention of the tax
that it be paid by the power COM
panies."
Just before the final vote was
taken, Chairman Smoot of the SEN
ate finance committee announced
the completed measure would raise
S1,118,5 100000 in new revenue.
This, added to tax of s1,287, ,0o0,-
900 under the present revenue law,
would make total of 50, ,4o5 100000
in taxes.
A record vote was taken after
it appeared the senate had accept
ed the Measure without that for
mality. The insurgent bloc de-
manded a vote, however, and it

for word of Stanislaus HauSner on

REPORT SEVERE
EARTHQUAKE In
NORTH OF STATE
One Killed In Violent
Shock Which Rocks En-
tire COastline.

EUREKA, Calf, June 6. U.H-
Rocking the Northern California
coastline almost as severely as the
1906 tremors which terrorized sec
tions of the far west state, four
distinct earthquake shocks caused
widespread damage early today.
One death and two serious in
juries resulted in Eureka.
Early reports indicated some
buildings had collapsed but a later
check showed that although
windows had been shattered and
chimneys had crumpled, no build
ings were damaged seriously.
The quake appeared to have CEN
tered along the coastline in Hum
boldt and Del Norte counties, but
it was felt over an area $50 miles
long and as far inland as Rose
burg, Ore.
Mrs. Wallace McCutcheon, 25,
was killed when a chimney crashed
through the wall of the rooming
| house in which she was sleeping.
Her husband incurred a broken leg
and several crushed ribs. Ralph
Young, the only other person re-
ported injured, received two broken
ribs when ne was thrown against
a machine in bakery.
Communication lines were not
affected seriously and reports from
Crescent City, about IS miles north
of Eureka, Ferndale, Fortuna, Ar
cata, Fieldbrook and other small
towns in Eureka county showed the
tremors were felt in equal proper
ton there.
Landslides Reported
Plate glass windows in store
buildings and smaller windows in
residences were shattered. Brick
chimneys suffered more than other
sections of houses. No fires re-
suited.
A few small landslides were re
ported, one of them blocking the
highway two miles south of Eureka
when the side of a cutbank slid
into the road.
Property damage was estimated
in the thousands of dollars.
The quake began at 12:45 a. m,
at time when most people in the
towns affected were asleep and
sheltered from possible flying
debris.
The region in which the tremors
struck is sparsely settled, only 9
few towns being scattered over the
| forest and ranch lands. Eureka, the
largest of the far Northern Cali
fornia coast cities, has a popula-
ton of 12,5O0 1t is approximately
300 miles north of San Francisco.
PORTLAND, Ore, June 6. W.H
The. earthquake which severely
damaged Eureka, Calf, today, was
felt in many southern Oregon
towns.
The Western Union reported
that the tremblor was reported by
its agents as far north as Rose
burg, but no damage was reported
from Oregon points.

ITALIAN POLICE
RALK PLOT TO
KILL MUSS0LENI

ROME, June 6.-U.P)-A young
anarchist who carried on his chest
q rubber pad filled with enough
nitroglycerine to blow dozen men
to pieces if he had been thrown
down, faced execution today for a
plot against the life Of Premier
Benito Mussolini.
The anarchist also carried a re-
volver and two flat shaped bombs
hung from his waist.
Police revealed that Angelo Sbar-
dellotto planed the assassination
at the ceremony on Janiculum hill
Saturday. 1t was attended by
Mussolini and members of the
royal family Queen Helene un-
yelled a monument to Anita Carl
baldi.
Police quoted Sbardellotto as
saying he would have committed
suicide whether or not his attempt
against Mussolini had been sue
cessful. He was picked up by one
of the detectives of the presiden-
tial squad The would-be assassin
was stationed at a spot where
Mussolini would have passed with
in half an hour.
The anarchist was quoted as say
ing that he hoped to obtain a pass
to admit him to the Garibaldi cere-
mony hut that he did not get the
pass and could not pass through
the cordons of troops which guard
ed the premier and the king and
queen.
Sbardellotto will be tried by the
special tribunal for the defense of
the state which sentenced another
anarchist, Michael Schirru, to
death for a similar plot in 1881.

MEXICAN SLAIN
BY COUNTRYMAN
In SUNDAY ROW
Jose Espinosa, Once Freed
In Death Case, Held At
County Jail.

Released by jury little less
than year ago because the jur-
ors believed his story that he had
no hand in the killing of Pearl
Hynes, Brawley rancher, Jose Es-
pinosa is in the county Jail today,
held without bond on a charge of
numbering Joe Sayavera last night
on the Pepper ranch four miles
west and mile north of BraWley.
Sayavera was shot through the
heart by a bullet from 25 auto
matte as he, with a group of other
Mexican laborers, watched Espinosa
after the latter had climbed into
his car with his father, mother and
wife, Another bullet passed through
the crown of Ramon Ortiz straw
hat, scarcely an inch above Ortiz
head.
Officers declared Espinosa, who
was arrested by Lon Cromer, Braw-
ley police chief, and two of his
men, was not drunk, and to all
appearances had not been drink
ing. Neither had any of the other
men. Evidently the trouble started
when Espinosa took exception to
the guitar playing of one of the
group.
ESpinosa was arraigned before
Judge H. B. Griffin at Brawley to-
day, and held without bond. 1t
is possible a preliminary hearing
will be held this week. An inquest
over the body of Sayavera will be
held tomorrow at Brawley.
Espinosa, with Ysidro Cardenas,
last year was arrested and tried on
a charge of numbering Pearl Hynes
south of Brawley during an argu-
ment over a gambling debt. Fred
Thompson defended the MeXicans.
A jury found Cardenas guilty of
second degree murder and he was
sentenced to San Quentin peniten-
tiary. Espinosa was declared not
guilty, and freed.
During the trial the jury was
asked to discriminate between the
testimony of Mrs. Hynes, who said
EspinoSa held her husband while

CARNE:R'S
PROG Ram
TO PASS
Rules Committee To Put
Measure Before House
Tomorrow.
DEMOCRATS BOUND
Will Support Speaker In
Face Of Strong Oppo-
sitiOn From FOOyer.

WASHINGTON, June 6. U.P)-
In the face of renewed presidential
opposition, the house rules COM
mittee decided today to bring the
Garner $2,300,000,00O relief pro-
gram before the house tomorrow
under drastic procedure which
would assure a vote in three
hours
One phase of the presidents pro-
gram, that relating to establish
ment of u home loan discount
banks, was revived in the senate
where a subcommittee was directed
to prepare a report on the Watson
bill to that end.
Passage of the Garner bill was
predicted, since Democrats have
bound themselves in party caucus,
with only a few dissenters, to
support it, Also, the rule which
the committee will seek to have
approved limits debate to three
hours and confines it to amend
ments offered by the ways and
means committee.
The vote of the rules committee
was 8 to 4, along party lines.
Representative Bankhead Dem0
Alabama, in offering the stringent
rule to the committee, admitted 1t
was probably the most drastic in
a long time"
None OF the ways and means
committee amendments which
would be offered would be subject
to further amendments
Representative Michener (Rep)
Michigan, said before the vote was
taken that the rule "wiping out as
it does every standing rule of the
house, practically allows the ways
and means committee to legislate.' >
Later the house ways and means
committee again reported the
Garner relief bill, with amend
mentS lowering the construction
cost limit of small post offices in
cluded under the building program
This alteration is roughly estimated
to reduce the total of the bill ap-
proximately $30,000,000.
This was the only substantial
change from the measure as orig
inally approved by the committee
several days ago.
