On BEER TAX

SACRAMENTO, July 26. U.P)-
Approval of an increase of the beer
tax from 81 cents to 81 per barrel
was granted today by the senate
committee on revenue and taxa
tion.
The committee sent the measure
out onto the floor with a recon-
mendation of "do pass.
The measure was introduced by
Senator John McColl. If passed, it
will bring approximately 100000 a
biennium in additional revenue.
The Woolwine bill providing a
tax on beer, wine and hard liquor
and producing a total income of
100000 was killed in assembly
committee. The McColl bill was
merely an effort TO salvage some
thing from the Woolwine measure
disaster.
The committee also killed the
Bliss bill proposing a SIS annual
tax on all automobile camps out
side of incorporated areas.

JURY ACQU|TS
KEMP otto

LOS ANGELES, July 26. U.R)-
After celebrating only 45 minutes
over evidence that took weeks for
presentation, jury of nine women
and three men today acquitted
Thatcher Kemp and Ed Otto of
attempted bribery.
In refusing to convict, the jury
evidently sympathized with Kemp
and Otto in their expressed war
against unwholesome political con-
ditions, and felt that if $400 was
given Wayne Jewell, son of a
grand juror, it was offered as legi-
innate expense money rather than
an attempted bribe.
Raymond Haight, former corpor-
alton commissioner, was freed two
weeks ago when Superior Judge
William T. Aggeler dismissed iden-
tical charges against him.

Motorists crossing the desert who
desire to make the trip with the

cars leaving the windshield open.
This. the health officer pointed

Dr. Fox said, and have found it
most satisfactory.

". Y. Stocks
BY ELMER c. Waller

NEW YORK, July 26.-Stocks
drifted about in dull session to-
Gay and ended irregular in a mar
row range.
There were several periods of
strength in the curtailed session
trading is now and will be until
further notice restricted to hours
from II a. m. to p m.-but none
brought out sufficient buying to
keep a rally moving.
Strength in grains tended to aN
the cotton market where priceX
firmed up from an early decline,
but apparently had no effect on
stocks. A firmer dollar might have
been deterrent to long commit
ments,. but of more Importance
was the fear that a considerable
amount of stock still was over
hanging the market as a result of
the grain market mixup in the
west
Then, too, business news showed
1eveling off in several lines. The
Irong Age' found steel production
at 81 per cent, against So per cent
week ago, while electricity out
put up l5.4 per cent from the 1882
week made a poorer showing than
the preceding week which showed
a percentage gain Of 1874 per cent.
Car loadings already have turned
down, and some of the railroad
earnings reports are poor.
Individual reports of corpora
tions led to selective buying and
selling throughout the list. United
States Steel corporation reported
net loss of $8,627,367 in the second
quarter and the common stock
was depressed more than a point.
Other steel shares were depressed
with it.
Motors were in demand all day.
General Motors had a better than
expected statement for the first
half, earning cent above the an
nual dividend requirements of ST
a share. Chryscler gained more than
2 points and at one time Auburn
was up more than 2 points.
The mining issues were enliven-
ed by a 31-point rise in Homestake
mining and advances ranging to
more than points in others OF
the gold group. Coppers were given
a whirl in the late dealings with
Cerro de Pasco leading. That issue
at one time was up nearly points.
Other coppers gained fractions
to more than a point.
Railroad issues were mixed. Un-
ion Pacific eased off 2 points and
losses were noted in several others.
New York Central and Pennsylvan-
ia rallied near the close. Chesa-
peake e. Ohio held small gain.
Rubber shares were bid up a
point or more on general rise OF
10 per cent in prices by leading
tire makers. Oils picked up late in
the day. Tobaccos were up fraction
ally. Chemicals held we'll although
Allied sold off more than points
Dry was up more than 3 points,
and the wet group to which it is
now connected, made corresponding
gains. Near the close profit-taking
reduced gains.
j. 1. Case jumped points in the
farm equipment group when wheat
rose more than 3 cents bushel.

SALES
TAX APPROVED
CONTINUED From Page u

of passage. The senate adopted
the inter-house conference commit
tee report recommending a 2Ia per
cent tax until July l, 1885; per
cent thereafter.
Action was deferred until today
by the assembly when the question
of utility tax exemption was raised.
Assemblyman Jesse Mayo claimed
under provision of the Riley, Stew
art tax revision plan, utilities would
pay no taxes for a six months per-
iod from January l, 1885, to July
l.
So impressed was the assembly,
it decided to investigate. If proved
true, it would amend into the sales
tax a provision taxing utilities for
that period.
The assembly'S personal income
tax bill was up today for final pas
sage in the senate. 1t is patterned
after the federal income tax, but
carrying only one-third the rates.
A 23-14 vote withdrawing the bill
from committee indicated h e
measure would probably pass the
upper house.
Assuming both sales and person.
al income taxes go through, the
legislature will have raised approx
imately $101 100000, leaving a red
balance of around $25, 100000. Still
pending, however is the $4,000000
motor vehicle license tax increase
measure.
Bills Approved
Anxious to clean up loose ends,
the senate passed bills providing:
Appropriation of $750,000 for jun
ior colleges; $150,0OO to finance the
board of equalization in assessing
utility properties; lowering Ala
media and Los Angeles superior
judges salaries from $4,000 to
5000; reducing Orange and San
Bernardino judges salaries from
$1,000 to $500.
Other senate action included
Dropped all action toward teach
ureS' tenure reform when an in
| ter-house conference committee re-
port was ruled out in the assem-
ly; rescinded its action of confirm
ing Robert Clarke, Los Angeles, for
insurance commissioner; refused an
amendment suggesting the board
of equalization assess utilities prop
critics on the basis of the valuation
used by the state railroad commits
sion.
Outstanding action of the assem-
bly, was passage of a bill permit
ting state banks, as we'll as nation
al banks, to participate in the de-
Iosit insurance fund as provided by
the Glass -Steagall bill passed by
congress.
The assembly also passed a senate
bill providing when the state mort
gage moratorium expires January
l, 1884, mortgage holders may moi
demand the full amount of past
installments, but only the current
monthly installment.
Along with taxes, another major
issue faced the legislature-tht
great Central Valley project. The
project IS $160,0O0,000 revenue bono
act containing federal inspired pub
lie ownership clauses will come VI
for final passage in the senate. L
approved, the bill goes back to thu

GARDEN PRESIDENT
TO QUIT, IS RUMOR
Ki|patrick Seen as Next Chief,
as Carey Remains Mum
on Plans.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, June 14.-Despite
nj lack of official confirmation
there were strong indications
today that William F. Carey
soon will resign as president of Madison
Square Garden, perhaps Immediately
after the heavyweight championship
Camera
Reports that Carey would quit on
June 80, the day after the fight, brought
neither confirmation nor denial from
the man who has headed the Gardens
affairs since the death of Tex Rickard
in 1929. These reports had it that he
would be succeeded by Brig. Gen. John
Reed Fitzpatrick, former Yale athlete,
who now is Garden vice president.
The very fact that Carey refused to
deny the rumors led to the belief that
some change in the Gardens offlcialdom
was pending.
While Carey was declining comment
he took occasion to deny report, print
ed by an afternoon newspaper, that he
would enter the motion picture business
in California.
s.I WENT out there last May to see
i my family" he explained while
was there met the motion pic
ture executives and I was entertained
by them and shown around the studios
This led to the story that I contem-
plated entering the business. There is
absolutely no foundation for it"
Other Garden officials maintained
tight Tipped silence in the matter.
Richard F. Hoyt. chairman of the di-
rectorate and one of Carey's most in
fluential supporters, said Carey had not
resigned.
"If he is going to resign in the fu-
ture," Hoyt added, "he has not told me
about it. At any rate I hope that the
rumor is wrong"
