DETROIT. Feb %. - The mo-
mentous plans of Henry Ford to re-
habilitate the Detroit banking sys-
tenn were entangled today in a
series of rapid fire complications,
involving elements of mystery, high
finance and an appeal to Senator
James CouzenS by "the citizens of
the state"
Ernest G. Liebold, for many years
secretary to Ford and his fiscal
agent, was missing, police said, and
an automobile identified as his was
reported seen 160 miles northeast
of Detroit.
Almost simultaneously, the Guar
dian National Bank of Dearborn
announced receipt of a letter from
Liebold offering his resignation as
a director The letter had been
mailed at Pontiac.
The Detroit News said Ford S
plans to reorganize two banks in
Detroit had been complicated by
refusal of New York bankers to
grant $2O0OO,OOO loan to aid the
plan.
The complications arose suddenly
and dramatically with disclosure
that police had been asked to aid
in finding Liebold, who left De-
troit yesterday by automobile. Late
in the day, Senator Couzens an
nounced in Washington that he
had been summoned to Detroit "at
the request of the citizens of the
state" to aid in programs to relieve
the Michigan banking crisis.
No explanation foi the reports
that Liebold was missing were Off

REPEAL MOVE
Special Message Calls On Legis-
lature To Make Provision For
Ratification Convention.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. %. WP)-
Governor Rolph today submitted a
special message to the legislature
requesting setting up of legal ma
chinery for selection of a conven-
ton which will determine whether
California shall vote to repeal the
18th amendment.
Text of the governors message
follows:
ct desire officially to call your
attention to the fact that congress
has proposed to the states an "a
mendment to the federal constitu-
ton which would repeal the 18th
amendment, although at the same
time prohibiting the transportation
or importation into any state, ter
ritory, or possession of the United
States for delivery or use therein
of Intoxicating liquors in violation
of the laws thereof. The amend
ment IS. j. 21D was passed by the
senate on February 16, 1888, and
by the house of representatives on
February 20, 1888, and is now be-
fore the people of the states In
order that this proposed constitu-
tional amendment shall become ef-
fective, it is essential that it be
ratified by three-fourths of the
states acting through constitution
al conventions to be called for that
purpose.
"At the present time there is no
legislation in effect in California
making provision for the holding
of such constitutional convention
or indicating how its members shall
be selected or elected. 1t is, there
fore, necessary that the legislature
shall make provision for the calling
of such constitutional convention
in order that the people of Califor-
mia may not be deprived of the
opportunity to pass upon this most
important question.
1T is my earnest desire that you
give your immediate attention to
the enactment of adequate and ap-
propriate legislation providing for
the holding of such constitutional
convention as we'll as tht manner
of the selection or election of its
members, SO that the people of
California may be among the first
to be accorded the opportunity to
express themselves upon this pro-
posed constitutional amendment,
the adoption of which in my judg-
ment is of paramount Importance
to the welfare of this state

Verdict In Bern
Death Unclaimed

LOS ANGELES, Feb. %. iU.P)-
The death of Paul Bern, producer
husband of Jean Harlow, remained
a suicide today as far as the 1882
grand jury was concerned, after
the fatal shooting was re-enacted
for jury members.
The grand jury leaves office to-
day without having developed any
thing which might change a cor
oner's jury verdict that Berns ia
tai injuries on Sept. were self
inflicted.
Any results of the visit to
Bern'S home corroborated the con-
clusion we had reached from ques-
tioning more than SO witnesses in
the reopened case,' District At
torney Buron Fits declared.
With Foreman w. w. Widenham
and Juror o. G. Lawton, Fits and
Investigator Steve Nowakowsky
visited the Bern home late yester-
day. Nowakowsky is approximate
ly Bern'S height. The line of a
bullet which passed through Bern's
head was traced, and it led to the
spot in the wall where the death
bullet was embedded, Fits said.

FOLSOM PRISON. Cal, Feb. %.
U.2-The routine of Folsom pri-
son was back TO normal today after
the attempted two-man break had
ended in the death of one convict
and solitary confinement of the
other.
Lloyd Sampsell, notorius yacht
bandit was confined to a lone cell,
while the body of his companion,
Martin Colson, who committed sui
eide yesterday rather than surren-
der after the unsuccessful break,
was resting in the prison morgue.
AS Warden Court Smith contin-
ued his investigation of the escape
attempt he discovered the men ap-
)0arentiy had planned to escape
directly from their cells at night.
1t was learned the men had man
ufactured braces and bits which
they used to try and bore larger
holes in their cell doors. This fail
ing, the attempt was made through
the hospital and administration
buildings.
Warden Smith said today he haa
connected no other convicts with
the attempted escape, but that he
was convinced they had received
aid, particularly in the manufac-
ture of the two crude guns they
used to force their way into the ad-
ministration building.

BY MEXICANS

NOGALES, Ariz., Feb. 28 UP
Border patrol and immigration Of
ficers were ordered today to be on
guard for Chinese refugees from
the west coast of Mexico, fleeing

Renewal of agitation against

Most of the refugees were said to
be from the State of Sinaloa,
where the anti-Chinese campaign
has been particularly active. Plight
Of the Mexican wives and children,

and fathers, was especially pathetic,
American officials said.
Formerly prosperous Chinese,

stripped of their possessions by
their Mexican asSailantS and forced
to leave the country.
Mexican government officials
were reported to have said they
could do nothing halt the at

The campaign against the Chin
ese were said to result from the
present economic unrest along the
west coast. The wealthy and COM
Portable Chinese have aroused the
animosity of their needy neighbors,

At INCREASE
IN TAXATION
Special Message To Opening Of
Legislatures Second Session
Presented In Person.
DENIES STATE INSOLVENT
People Should Not Be Asked To
Carry Increased Burden, Gov
ernor Declares.

SACRAMENTO, Feb. %. U.Py-
Governor James Rolph, Jr., in a
special message personally deliv-
cred at a joint session of the as
sembly and senate, today declared
against imposition of additional
taxes and announced that the
state government is not insolvent." d"
MY opinion is that the people
should not be asked to carry ad-
ditional taxation and will not toll
crate it," the governor said.
The governor proposed that all
of the state revenue from the state
gasoline tax, except the third that
goes to the counties, should be di-
verted to the general fund and
used for general state purposes. He
failed to stress in his address sug-
gestions made in an earlier speech
to reduce states contribution to
schools, reduce old age pensions,
borrow $10,0O0,0O0 from the special
school fund and other revenue di-
versions.
The governor outlined his views
of the states financial plight in
manner that clearly indicated
where he stands on the taxation
question.
Estimated revenues from exist
ing sources and at existing rates
will provide sufficient money for
all essential requirements of state
government" he maintained. Our
problem is whether we shall in
crease taxes in order to maintain
certain services which we could
drop OF diminish for the next two
years if the people prefer that
course"
The governor said that the gen.
eral and special fund revenue will
be $208, 100000, of which $98,000,-
900 will accrue from highway sour
ces. Only $92,O0O,0OO will be avail
able for general fund purporses.
Ample Funds Possible
Total requirements for all pur-
poses, he said, call for $169, $780, 900
and $8,500,000 ror interest and re-
demption of highway bonds.
"Of course" he pointed out, iii
we pay interest and redemption of
highway bonds from the gasoline
tax funds, the total which is re-
quired for purposes other than
roads will be less by that much.
This amount, $169, 100000 leaves
the school funds and all other fixed
charges intact at present estimated
amounts"
The governor then pointed out
that if the states share of special
road taxes, totaling $4,000, 900,
were poured into the general rund,
There would be ample to pay all
the expense of the state govern
ment without new or additional
taves, there would be a remainder
of $500 available for state road
purposes, and the amount of $780,
100000 could still be allotted for
county road purposes
You have a choice" the COVER
nor said, between new and addi-
tional taxation or reducing from
$98O00,O0O to $38,500,000 the states
contribution and expenditures for
roads in the coming two years"
