FALL FATAL
TO FOREMAN

LOS ANGELES, Sept IA. U.P)-
Apparently mistaking fire escape
for a corridor door, Guy Helmuth,
80, foreman of the extensive Stock
ton potato properties of M. zuker-
man, his n-law, fell to his
death at the Ambassador hotel last
night.
His body was discovered early to-
day by Detective George Anderson,
lying on the sidewalk near the rear
of the hotel Helmuth died before
he could be taken to receiving hos
pital.
With his wife and zukerman, Hell
muth came to Los Angeles on
pleasure trip. His wife said she
last saw him about 10 O'Clock, and
when he failed then to appear, she
went to the dancing room with her
father.
Police were inclined to believe his
oeath was accidental.

BEVERLY HILLS, Sept. IA.
itSpec.aD - Say, Los Angeles
came through with something
yesterday that looks like one OF
the best measures to help Off
set this crime racket.
1t looks like every time man
commits a crime and is caught,
his prison record reads like he
had been a tourist inmate OF
every prison worth attending.
There hasn't been an amateur
crook caught in years.
Well, Los Angeles makes ev-
cry visiting ex-criminal register.
Course you will say, Eyes, but
he won It register. Well, that IS
the catch. If he don't, he is
liable to six months imprison-
ment for not complying to the
law.
Certain state paroled ones are
exempt to save injustice to ones
who are doing right. But it S
mainly to catch the visiting
gentlemen. 1t might be worth
other towns looking into.

.NRA PARADE
GETS PRAISE
General Johnson Pleased Over
Gigantic Spectacle Staged In
New York.
BY JOHN r. BEAL

Ohitcu TTCSS Std1i Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Another
million of the unemployed will be
back at work by Oct. l, General
Hugh S. johnson predicted today
after New York staged its greatest
peace-time demonstration for the
National Recovery program.
The psychology of unemployment
has been replaced by the psychol-
ogy of unemployment, johnson be-
lieves. This, he said, had been his
hardest task.
New York gave a mass express
sion of confidence yesterday when
more than a quarter million citi-
zens, bankers as well as needle
workers, marched up Fifth Ave-
nue.. At least two million more look
ed on. The celebration lasted more
than 10 hours.
Il saw everywhere that the strain
had been lifted" Johnson later told
the Merchants association. There
was in every face real hope for
the United States-hope and faith
without the sneer of hesitation"
-Four years ago the expressions
of people in such gathering
would have been buoyent and jubi-
liant, but inSincere.
1.-TWO or three years ago you
would have read anywhere the ter
rible casualty list, the rising hu-
man agony, when there was tax
for everything and everything was
spent, You could see it in peoples
faces; you didn't need to look at
the descending markets. Even last
March there was no hope, but now
l can see that there is.
Mayor Given "Razz'
Jhhnson characterized the pa
rade the most marvellous demon
stration I have ever SEEM All af-
ternoon and evening Fifth Ave-
nue. echoed with the music of
bands, the tramp of marchers, and
the cheers Of spectators. The par
ade was of such mammoth propor-
tions that it took more than 10
hours to pass the reviewing stand
at the rate of 10000 marchers an
hour.
Every business group operating
under the blue eagle was repre-
sented among the marchers. Some
stood in line for hours to parade
perhaps, in some instances, because
their employers had paid for uni
forms and banners and were de-
termined to have them used. Traf-
fic on side streets was blocked.
Speakeasies in streets where
marchers awaited their turn in line
sold their entire stocks. Trucks
were unable to get through with
new supplies.
The only discordant note was the
delegation of brokers and employ
ees who booed Mayor O'Brien for
18 minutes. They resented tax
ON brokerage trade.

GIRL ACCUSES
AUTO DEALER

LOS .NGELES, Sept. IA. tU.Pj-
Don Lea, wealthy San Francisco
and Los Angeles sportsman, auto
mobile dealer and radio chain own
er, today was charged with betray-
ing Joy Mclaughlin, % year old
blonde, in a suit for $500,000 alleg-
ing breach of promise, filed by the
girl.

her, but two years ago told her he
was through and advised her to
forget him, the suit related.
She demanded S250,000 actual
and, $250,0O0 punitive damages for
the asserted breach of promise.
The pretty blonde said she met
Lee when she was 16 years old, on
Oct. 5, 1927. A lew days later, the
complaint set forth, Lee told her
he had fallen madly in love with
her, and assertedly asked her hand
in marriage.
Over a four year period, during
which - sportsman was alleged to
have shoWered the girl with expen-
sive automobiles, money, and a dia-
ntond ring, Miss Mclaughlin
charged Lee told her he intended
to marry her as soon as "condi-
tions over which he had no con-
troll" permitted. Under these pro-
misses, she charged, she was be-
trayed.
The suit was filed in superior
court by Attorneys S. S. Hahn and
w. o. Graf.

TOKENS WILL
Be ACCEPTED
ON SALES TAX
State Plans To Have Govern
ment Mint One-Eighth Cent
Pieces For General Use
WILL SOLVE BAD SITUATION
New Coins Will Not Be Legal
Tender But Will Be Used For
Single Purpose Intended.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. IA. U.Pt
California today prepared 20 pio-
neer new tax collection fields, as
plans went forward to impose the
unprecedented split penny system
Of collecting the retail sales levy.
Officially merchants will issue
tokens, actually the new coinage
system will be established and sup
crvised by the state.
The equalization board late yes
terday formally approved a method
Of collecting the sales tax Mer-
chants would issue tokens of one
eighth of a cent denomination. For
each five cent purchase, the GUS
tcmers would hand over a nickel
and token; ten cent purchase
would draw two tokens; and SO on
up the line.
The state will advance money for
establishment of the token system,
will supervise its operation and, in
effect be the godfather of the plan.
But Officially, the state can have
nothing to do with it-this because
the federal government will not per-
nit states to issue money.
r. P. Conally, San Francisco, re-
preventative of retail merchants,
was authorized to consult United
States mint officials in San Fran
cisco concerning the cost of issu-
ing the first consignment of 1,000,-
600 tokens.
The board insisted the one-eighth
cent coin should not resemble any
federal coin in circulation.
Just as soon as the merchant
money" Is in circulation, the board
will insist that:
!. Present breakdown" system
10 tax on articles up to Is cents
and scaling up from one cent there
after--must be abandoned. This
plan is in general use by mer-
chants but has never been approx
cd by the board In effect it i'm
poses a tax of six or seven per-
cent on low purchases.
2. No article may be taxed over
2i2 per cent.
Split penny collection is ven-
ture in to new tax fields. The
board of equalization awaited ap-
prehensively the reaction of the
public to the plan.
Possibly, the fate of the sales tax
hangs on the reception the token
system receives. For there is now
widespread discdntent with the
sales tax and sporadic movements
here and there to repeal it.

F0RB0URBONS
Senator Cautious In Answering
Democratic Invitation To Be-
come Candidate.
GIVES THOUGHT TO IDEl
Hiram In Jackpot Due To De-
serting Party In 1892 To Aid
Roosevelt.
BY THOMAS b. MALARKEY

BY THOMAS B. MALARKEY
United Press Staff Correspondent
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 14-Sen-|
ator Hiram Johnson was cordial
but cautious today in answering AMI
invitation to bolt the Republican,
party and run for reelection as theI
Democratic senatorial candidate inI
California next year.
The United Press learned indis-
putably that a prominent northernI
California Democrat acted with
full knowledge of other Democratic
leaders including William Gibbs
McAdoo in inviting the progressive
Republican firebrand to become al
Democrat.
The letter, in tactful but firm|
worus, declared that if Johnson re-
fused the invitation, the Demo-
cratic party would be compelled to|
run it's own candidate.
1t had been understood nereto-|
fore that Democrats would not
sponsor a candidate in the 1884 pri-I
maries, in order to leave Johnson
unopposed in the general electionl
Johnson's n-committal reply|
indicated he had given much
thought to the campaign.
The Democratic leader who wrotd|
the Senator pointed out the embar-
RAISING position Johnson would
face if nominated as a Republican,
or Progressive.
Johnson's endorsement of Presi- !
dent Roosevelt before election madd
him a Roosevelt man. He would bd|
restrained from campaigning in an
overly vigorous fashion against d
candidate Mr.. Roosevelt support1
ed.
Few Plans Made
Senator Johnson had made few
plans as yet fo4' 1.-THE campaignI
resting on his conviction that Pre-
sident Roosevelt would ensure De-
mocratic support if he ran as Re-
publican or Progressive.
The letter to johnson said it will
be to the senator's advantage I'd
burn his bridges behind him" and
become an outright Democrat.
His denomination as Republican,
the letter said, is doubtful due I'd
opposition of conservatives in thd|
party. The latter group plans I'd
advance Ex-Governor Friend WI
Richardson as candidate, it waa
reported.
The letter said his reelection
would be doubtful if he runs as d
Progressive because he will bd
caught between the flow of votes
to candidates of the Two major par
ties.
But as a Democrat, the letter
argued, Johnson would receive uni
fled support of that strong party
In the event of a close race, his
own powerful Progressive bloc thai
has followed him regardless of par
ty for years, would turn the tide

Selling Is Absorbed Readily
and Price Of Shares Con.
tinues to Rise

New York, May 24.-(R)-The latest
upsurge in the stock market, which.
started in the previous session, was
continued with some vigor Wednesday
Trading was more active and the
market was called upon to absorb
considerable selling on the way up,
but there were several advances of l
to points. Commodities also were
higher, with wheat up more than TX
cents and cotton more than so cents
bale. Initiation psychology resulting
from the modest start of federal re-
serve open market operations was EVIL
Gently motivating factor, although
the dollar recovered little against
leading gold currencies.
A few wide gains appeared in Union
Pacific, National Distillers, and Ma
tional Steel, up 1 to S, while shares
advancing about to included
American Can, Santa Fe, American
Tobacco B, Case, Liggett & Myers B.
U. S. Smelling, international Silver.
Corn Products and Dupont. Shares
up or more included American Tele-
phone, New York Central, Southern
Pacific, Cerro De Pasco, American
Smelling, Lorillard, General Electric.
International Harvester, and others
u. s. Steel common rose only a frac-
ton, Utilities and oils were moder-
ately firm.
The upturn carried the market to
new high levels for this year. Profit

ALL GRAIN PRICES
ADVANCE RAPIDLY
ON INITIATION talk
Less Snap to Buying Shown in
Late Dealings But Close
Is Higher

Chicago, May 24.-(PNDominated
by initiation talk, grain prices advance
ed rapidly at times Wednesday, but in
the late dealings there was less snap
to buying.
Many operators turned to the SELL
ing side Of wheat toward the last,
believing that sustained speculative
demand was insufficient to warrant
maintenance of extreme advances.
Favorable weather for the new spring
wheat crop, together with improved
conditions for corn planting, did
much to restrain late purchases.
Wheat closed nervous, 1h-2 cents
above Tuesdays finish, July 72h-A,
Sept. 73A-N; corn unchanged to 81
y higher, July 45%-46, Sept. 4Sh-A;
oats Is oft to u up, and provisions
showing 10 to Is cents advance.
A rush Of general buying hoisted
wheat to more than four cents above
Mondays low point, with corn up
about 3A cents above the low Of the
same day. Talk of credit initiation
was much In evidence as bullish
factor.
Word of a definite plan for inter-
national action to deal with the
world wheat surplus was a further en-
couragement toward higher prices.
Despite profit-taking sales, the wheat
market remained a broad affair, with
tullish fever apparent. No attention
was given to Liverpool advices that
buyers abroad were holding off, indis-
posed to pay any advance. Corn and
cats borrowed strength from wheat.
Provisions went up with grain.
