cent of state government cost; re-
peal of amendment number one
which would restore utility operat-
ing properties to local tax rolls,
and authorization to the legislature
to pass whatever revenue measures
are necessary.
Decisive factor in its defense was
opposition of the committee of
14', an inter-house group appoint
ed to draft a compromise taxation
plan. The committee had request
ed action be deferred on all taxa
ton bills until it had time to sub
NIT it's report.
Supporters of the plan have not
given up. Assemblyman Charles

would ask for reconsideration today.
The plan is to bring the bill back

to if the compromise committee Is
plan fails.
Three amendments were offered
during the assembly fight. AL
were voted down. One would have
reduced real property's burden OF
county governmental cost from Sc

have exempted publicly owned util-
tiles and special districts; the third
would have provided a $500 eXemp-
ton on houses up to $4,000 in val

most votes he could muster was
eight.
All three bills were MendocinC

The governor considered the cuts
too drastic and also held the re-

The governor pointed out thai
the Mendocino deputy school sup

month, a salary which he claimed
was less than janitor should re-
ceive.
Later Governor Rolph declared
he was generally opposed to salary
reductions under 500 and indicated
he would veto other county gov

and employees below that figure.

CHARGE PLOT
BY JAP ANESE
Soviet Papers Declare Plan To
Steal Manchurian Railroad Is
Exposed.
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press Staff COrresponden

MOSCOW. April 27.-Japan was
accused of formulating a plot to
"steal" the Chinese Eastern rail-
road, Soviet-owned rail line that
cuts through the heart of Manchur-
la, in Soviet news dispatches today.
The long brewing dispute over
the important railroad was believed
to be nearing a climax.
Manchurian dispatches reaching
here described japanese troops con-
centrating in Eastern Manchuria.
Soviet troops were being concen-
trated on the Russian side of the
Manchurian border. Foreign OBJ
servers were fearful the tense sit
uation might result in armed con-
flict.
Soviet dispatches from Khabar-
ovsk charged the japanese had
plotted to disorganize traffic on the
Chinese Eastern, expel Soviet rail-
road officials, and then seize COM
plete control. japanese officials in
Hardin early in April submitted for
ratification by the japanese mill
tary authorities, detailed plan for
obtaining control of the railroad,
dispatches asserted.
Halt Shipments
The plan involved a systematic
interference with the railroad S
business, especially in its eastern
section, and practical hating of
all freight shipments on the Us
surisk and Zabaikal railroads, So
Wet owned extensions from the
main line.
Retention of Soviet owned roll
ing H0ck by Manchukuo authorities
in recent weeks was part of the
plot, the dispatches said.
The question of the railroad s
rolling stock has been subject of
heated diplomatic exchanges be-
tween the Soviet and Manchukuo
and japanese officials. Manchu-
kuo accused Russia of Nkidnap-
ing" rolling stock and pulling it
into Soviet territory A strongly
phrased note protesting Manchu-
kuoan interference with the rail-
road was sent to Toxic by Leo Kar-
akhan, assistant commissar for for
eign affairs, last week.

WASHINGTON, April q. = The
administration broke the bonus
drive today in congress but found
itself in bitter contest to protect the
gold dollar revaluation clause of
the initiation bill.
AS Senator Reed (Rep) Penn
sylvania, in the senate opened his
fight to strike gold from the adj
ministration measure the house
bonus bloc in effect surrendered to
administration opposition to encum-
bering initiation with an immediate
cash payment of $2,225 100000 to
war veterans.
Senate leaders pressed toward
vote today on the initiation plan,
with limitation of debate in effect
after p. m:
Reed accompanied his defense of
the gold dollar with a proposal Sec
ton voted in late yesterday. Ad-
ministration lines admittedly are
weakest in defense of the gold dol
lar revaluation but Democratic
leaders believe the Republican on
slaught could be stopped.
Administration approval Of a
plan to extend a possible maximum
80 per cent war debt reduction to
foreign nations by accepting silver
from all of them for sums due this
year had not been formally given
at midday. But administration
advisers who sponsored the plan
said as the senate met that they
were confident it would be accept
able to President Roosevelt.
Urges Silver Payment
Senator Byrnes (Dem) South
Carolina, brought forward the war
debt silver amendment which would
permit acceptance of approximate
ly 1888, 600, 900 from foreign nations
this year. A similar $100,000,000
silver provision already in the bill
would authorize issue of ST. certifi-

for which the silver was accepted
from the foreign debtors.

refused to accept it. 1t is conced-

Under the arrangement agreed
to by house bonus advocates, who
decided to await senate action on
the bonus proposal, its defeat there
would stop further consideration of
this controversial issue for the time
being.
Reed assailed the initiation bill
today as destructive of bond mar

and threatened to beat Hayes
within an inch of his life"
Mrs. Proctor told Hayes that she
was in deathly fear of Emo and
wanted Hayes to "get rid" of him,
the confession continued.
Using Mrs. Proctor's car, Hayes
and Emo started for Los Alamitos
where Emo had said he wanted to

When they were a few miles from

was served by President Roosevelt
on European war debtors today that
they will be expected to make their
regular June is payments.
These total $144,OOO,OOO.
This word, issued at the White
House, was interpreted here as in
dicating that President Roosevelt
is determined to hold out Ameri-
cas- control over the debt situation
to insure real results at the world
economic conference.
1t was explained that after the
conference, the debt matter would
be gone into in an extended way.
Although debts have been dis
cussed at the international econ
omic conferences here, the White
House reiterated today that no
agreements have been reached In
other words, President Roosevelt is
holding his ace in the hole until
later. in the game.
The White House said it was pos
Sible the President would send to
congress resolutions asking auth
GRITTY to deal with war debts and
tariffs. This would be done in adj
vance of the economic conference
to facilitate negotiations. Just what
form the resolutions would take
was not indicated.
simultaneously the state depart
ment indicated the United States
would be prepared to sign tariff
truce for the duration Off the eco
nomic conference, if one were pro-
posed and agreed to by other pow
ers.
This would peg the situation as
its stands and outlaw sudden boosts
of tariffs an dimport restrictions
which might otherwise be made for
bargaining purposes in anticipation
of the world conference
The tariff truce" was a probable
subject of discussion between the
French experts accompanying for
mer Premier Herriot of France and
the American experts, who met at
the state department at IL a. m. for
further discussion of economic
problems.
President Roosevelt, following the
debt announcement, opened his.
economic discussion with Prime
