OF REFERENDUM

SALINAS, Calf, June 4. U.P)-
William Gibbs McAdoo, prominent
dry leader and former secretary of
the treasury, believes the prohib-
ition question should be decided by

Democrats here.
Through a referendum VOTE" he
said, congress could be advised as
to the will of the people and could
act upon that advice"
McAdoo flew here late yesterday
to meet Democratic leaders, and
he discussed prohibition along with
credit and agricultural conditions.
1t was the opinion of the Demo-
Gratis here that the party platform
should include a plank for the re-
peal OF the 18th amendment, ito
balances similar action which prob
ably will be taken by the Republ-
cans"
Frank Sheridan, of Carmel, for
mer prominent actor, declared that
although he was an ardent dry

tions during the past several years
had convinced him that prohibi-
ton was a failure.

WASHINGTON, June q. = The
fight to block Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt appeared to be ebbing
today. His chances of being NOM
mated at the Democratic national
convention which meets in Chi
cago June q were regarded by in
siders as improving.
Some of the more optimistic
Roosevelt supporters have again
swung back to the expectation that
he will go across on the first bal
lot. A few weeks ago when former
governor, Alfred {. Smith, was
pounding at him with sledge-
hammer blows, they were less op-
timistic.
Newton D. Baker Of Ohio stands
as the man most favored in event
Roosevelt should be blocked. There
is some talk of Governor Ritchie
of Maryland, but it is scattered.
One well-informed anti-Roose-
velt Democrat puts it this way:
ut is about an even bet that
Roosevelt will be nominated. If he
is stopped, it is better than an
even bet that Baker will get in. If
Roosevelt it not nominated within
three ballots, he won't be nomi-
mated at ALL"

FIGHT AGAINST ROOSEVELT
BELIEVED TO Be WANING

somewhat dispirited They are
still, however, pushing their fight
for a real referendum plank in the
platform and they have reasonable
expectation of winning out over
the dryer wheelhorses among the
western and southern Roosevelt
leaders.
There is much speculation as to
the possibility of Roosevelt taking
some spectacular action with ref
erence to Mayor Walker Of New
York, against whom charges are
being brought.
Some say Roosevelt could clinch
the nomination and get a start to-
ward election by strong action here.
Others, more cautious, suggest he
should avoid any appearance of
using the situation to his own po-
litical advantage by appointing a
board of unquestionable standing
to consider the evidence and re-
port to him later.
Fight Sagging
The fight against Roosevelt has
Sagged for want of a leader. Smith
attempted it, but failed to rally
large sections of the party. Though
he has commanded respect of many
of the most influential Democrats
with an enthusiasm comparable to
those he set off in 1928, he has en-
countered stubborn feeling that he
had his chance four years ago and
should step aside now.
Speaker Garner was projected
into the early race with spectacular
trumpeting. But the difficulties in
the house of representatives have
sapped his strength as a presiden-
tial figure despite a clearcut VIC
tory over Roosevelt and Smith II
California, due to William G.
McAdoo.
Baker might have been the
leading possibility had he per-
mitted his friends to put on an
aggressive campaign. Baker prob
ably will draw a sizeable scattered
vote at the outset, but owing "a
lack of first choice delegates he
cannot get as good running start
as he would after several ballots
The advantage Roosevelt has in
this situation is that as the first
ballot roll call nears its end, Roose-
velt will be SO overwhelmingly
ahead of everyone else that it will
be difficult to prevent a stampede
He has many second-choice pledges
scattered around in favorite sor
delegations, such as the Texas bloc
SO that the temptation will be
strong for these delegates to break
for the bandwagon. There is moth
ing SO important to a politician as
getting on the winner as soon as
possible.

New State Law
For Loan Firms

LOS ANGELES, June 4. U.P)-
Machinery by which he will license
and otherwise govern activities of
loan brokers, is practically COM
pleted, Corporation Commissioner
Edwin M. Daugherty announced to-
day.
In issuing his announcement,
Daugherty demanded that all brok-
ers obtain licenses from his de-
partment before loaning money on
personal property if they want to
escape prosecution.
Provisions for enforcement Of the
law were made following decis-
ion of the state supreme court that
interest rates must conform to the
state usury statute. This latter
law provides that not more than
II per cent interest per annum can
be eXacted.
Particular attention must be
given brokers who are seeking TO
evade the law in the hope they may
operate in the loan shark class, y
Daugherty declared. "These brok-
ers have caused suffering among
borrowers for years because of eX-
ceSSive charges"

May TELL ALL
ABOUT SLAYEN(1

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4. U.P)-
Reports that Verne Doran, eX-
convict friend of Public Defender
Frank j. Egan, may tell all about
the Hughes case" in an attempt to
save himself, were current in po-
lice circles today
Doran and Egan, both of whom
disappeared shortly after Mrs.
Jessie Scott Hughes was found dead,
ostensibly the victim of a hit-and-
run driver, faced arrest in con-
nection with the case as result Of
a coroner's jury directing that they
be held to answer before a proper
tribunal" for her alleged murder.
Both Doran and Egan refused TO
testify at the inquest ION advice
of counsel"
Doran repeatedly admitted to
police he received a telephone call
from Egan Is minutes before he
disappeared as police sought to
question him. Doran was missing
two weeks and then surrendered.
Egan, who disappeared a few days
after Doran, reappeared in q San
Francisco sanitorium. He refused
to say where he had been.
Warrants for Doran's and
Egan's arrest were not issued as
authorities discussed submission of
evidence in connection with Mrs.
Hughes death TO a grand jury
Doran was in San quentin prison.
where he was returned as a parole
violator.
Meanwhile, formal charges on
which Egan's removal as public
defender will be sought were pre-
pared. They alleged, principally,
that his refusal to aid authorities
in the Hughes case constituted
misconduct.
Mayor Angelo RoSsi said he had
received 200 applications for the
$4,000 per year position, contingent
on Egan'S removal by the board
of supervisors. Egan has been sus-
pended already from active occu-
patton of office.

7 TAX BILL
RATIFIED
IN HOUSE
Awaits Formal Passage
By Senate Before Co.
ing To President.
OPPONENTS SILENT
Threats Fail To Material
ize AS Final Vote Is
Taken.

WASHINGTON, June q. U.H
The house today passed the COM
pleted $1,119, 100000 budget bal
ancing tax bill, speeding the new
revenue measure along the road
to final enactment.
Only the necessity for formal
senate approval now remains be-
tween the bill and its dispatch to
the White House for President
Hoover's signature.
The measure, most drastic of
time tax bills, will put into
operation scores of special levies.
including higher income taxes, cal
culated by the treasury to provide
sufficient revenue to place the fed
eral government on a pay-as-it-
goes basis.
Despite threats of opposition to
the revenue measure, the bill was
finally approved without even the
formally of a record vote.
Speaker Garner put the ques-
ton and a thunderous charus of
"ayes" answered No one in op-
position rose to challenge the vote
or ask for a record roll call.
The house adjourned immediately
after the vote, members rushing
out of the chamber in order to
reach the local ball park where
Democratic and Republican con-
gressional baseball teams battled
for the house championship
The action of the house was re-
ported shortly afterward to the
senate which will consider the bill
at noon Monday under an unani-
NOUS consent agreement proposed
by Majority Leader Watson.
Opposition COllapses
Opposition to the tax measure,
which earlier in the day had wor-
ried house leaders, collapsed COM
pletely on the final test, with die
hard advocates of the sales tax and
others who opposed the tariff
schedules accepting the bill.
Before voting the measure, how
ever, the house had expressed dis
favor with the drastic revenue bill
in a series of bitter speeches.
Majority Leader Henry Rainey,
veteran opponent of all high
tariffs, headed the opposition.
Rainey declared the revenue bill
to be a second Hawley-Smoot
tariff act" and said it would ad-
Versely affect American trade.
Other members also took the
floor to attack various sections Of
the bill, but all satisfied themselves
in eXpending their opposition in
oratory rather than votes.
Apparently misjudging the tenn
per of the house, both Republican
Leader Smell and Crisp took the
floor in the closing minutes of de-
bate to plead with their colleagues
not to retard economic recovery by
failing to approve the bill.

geles were under guard today fol-
lowing receipt Of telephoned warn
ings that demonstrations were
planned to follow riot yesterday

women and children Of the group,
weeping and shouting, to their
homes.
The delegation precipitating the
riot was said to have been led by
Russell and Basil Dell, brothers,

known communists.
Russell Dell. police said. led a
similar, less spectacular invasion of
another charities office a few days
ago and was recognized when he
appeared yesterday.
Fearing trouble, Mrs. Annie E.
Newton, in charge of the office,
called police when the delegation
appeared and demanded immediate
help for children" Mrs. Newton
said the Dell brothers refused to
listen to explanations that needy
persons would be helped as soon
as possible, and threatened to hold
the welfare force hostages in the
office until they complied with de-
mands.
Radio Officers j. r. Shepard and
o. K. Ramberg responded to Mrs.
Newton's call. They reported that
they were attacked with chairs
and fists as soon as they entered
the room, and that the riot was
not quelled until they drew their
guns. No shots were fired.
Shepard and Ramberg were treat
ed for severe cuts and bruises, as
were four of the rioters.
Police said that during the dis
turbance one of the rioters attempt
ed to start a fire in corner of

FIGHT FOR LIFE

BERLIN, June q. U.P)-The "all

counts headed by Franz Won Papen
announced a fight against moral
decay and bolshevist tendencies to-
day in its first proclamation.
The proclamation also said that
the financial foundations of the
reich and Prussian governments
and of most other states and cities
were severely shaken. Social in
surance funds are practically eX-
hausted, the proclamation said.
The new government, ruling by
decree, was saved the pain of a
parliamentary defeat when Presl-
dent Won Hindenberg dissolved the
reichstag without convening par
lament. New elections were ex-
pected soon.
The decree dissolving the reich.
stag was handed to DR.. Paul Loe,
speaker of the reichstag early this

The decree explained that the re-

Fascists were victorious, proved that
the reichstag no longer represented
the will of the people.
