PASADENA, Dec 10. UR) - An
exhaustive search for the gun that
dealt death to DR.. Leonard Siever,
philandering dentist, was ordered
today by police on the theory that
it could provide a ready key to the
solution of his mysterious murder.
The order found investigators ap-
parently no nearer solution than
they were when the bullet-riddled
body of the 44-year-old bachelor
was found in parking lot near his
office six days ago.
One phase of their investigation
collapsed when Thomas Bennett,
35-year-old bellboy, was excused
from further questioning. Three
guns found in his rooms were eX-
amined but ballistic experts said
none of them was the murder Wea-
pom.
Authorities trod another blind al
ley when they opened Siever's safe
ty deposit box at a local bank only
to find it empty of any pertinent
evidence. Only a few shares of
stock and a couple of insurance
policies were found in the vault.
Walled in by the veil of mystery
Investigators sought to find the
death gun and also a wrist watch
that was missing from the victim s
arm. If either of these articles could
be found, police believed they would
be in a good position to overhaul
the slayer.
They expressed little hope OF
identifying the assassin through the
mass Of love letters found in Slew
er's rooms. The letters, linking
the victim in numerous love affairs
with single and married women,
were rechecked and police said sew
eral women named in them would
be requestioned

they obtain from Washington, d.

documents relative to the approval
a.. of the All-American canal and the
appropriation of the $6,000000 for

Case Renewed AS Suspect Is

PASADENA, Dec. 10. UP)-Fun-
eral services were to be held late
today for Dr. Leonard Siever, IA
year-old Pasadena dentist, whose
attentions to women, police believed
caused his murder last Tuesday
night.
Only the slain Lothario's sister
Mrs. Rose Dinkawitz, and a few
close friends from the musical cir
cleS in which the dentist moved
were expected to be present at SER
vices in Los Angeles.
But there, and at the Home OF
Peace cemetery, sharp-eyed detec-
tives were to watch for any slight
sign of suspect-and mental uneas-
mess or flicker of an eyelid which
might indicate that person had a
guilty knowledge of the shooting OF
the aesthetic as he stood in a driv-
ing rain behind the Scottish Rite
cathedral.

large percentage of the vote exists

the project

sition on the ballot A vote of yes
favored making the act effective;
vote of no meant opposition to
the plan.

Water Plan association, predicted
victory by 100000 votes. Opponents

and many prominent persons who
felt this was no time to subject the
valley to a $170.09O00O debt, were
equally confident the measure would
lose.

A light vote not expected to exceed
25 per cent Of the county's 1,162,870
registered voters was forecast in
Los Angeles today by Registrar OF
Voters William M. Kerr.
Broadening his forecast, Kerr said
he did not expect a 25 per cent
vote south of the Tehachapi noun

CHICAGO. Dec. 10. W.R)-Argu-
ments on testimony that Samuel
insult controlled affairs Of his vast
utilities companies even after they
were placed in rcceivership were
heard by Federal Judge Evan A
Evans today.
Witnesses told how the fallen

but selected counsel for the petit
tioning creditors.
The hearing was upon a motion
by Samuel Ettelson, former corpor
ation counsel to deny Calvin Fen
tress, receiver for the insult utility
investments, fees for his services on
grounds he was a part "of the orr
ginal insult setup."

gested as receiver for the $4,000, 000,

THE ORONOKE
 SCHOOL QUESTION
Residents Given More Time to Consider C0ffl-
 ing Into lst District
ELECTION POSTPONED

The Oronoke school district will hold an election after its annual meeting on June 26 to decide whether it will enter the first taxa tion district of the city of Water bury according to a vote taken at last nights meeting of the board of aldermen. Last nights meeting of the aldermen was attended by a large delegation from the district headed by H. S. Coe, committed man, pr Edward H. Kirschbaum.
 Roy Walch, Crosby High school teacher and Deputy Coroner Wal ter W. Smyth.
 Mir Walch said the residents were not sure just what they were voting for. Alderman George R. Guilfoile explained it was the cus- tom on petitions such as that be- fore the board to get the sentiment of the district residents.
 Attorney Smyth offered a sug- gestion that the board of aldermen defer setting date for election
 until after the district had had its
 annual meeting. H. S. Coe was the first to speak. He said the district by 22 to 19 vote had decided to petition the board of aldermen. to | enter the first taxation district and
 that the petition was then before
 the board.
 After the matter was straighten-
 ed out and 1t was voted to set the
 election date after the annual meeting. Alderman Charles Schmidt asked for information as
 to how much the Oronoke school district owed. Dr Kirschbaum said that was the reason for wanting
 the election postponed. He said he
 did not know but that he and
 others in the district would know
 when the meeting of the district on June 26 was held.
 The board appointed James
 Heady a special constable to do
 duty at the Trinity apartments. The board authorized the board of
 works to hold a hearing on the construction of a sewer for Charles street to extend from the. end of
 the present main, 400 feet. The
 board adopted the recommendation
 of the committee on abatements to abate taxes of Il ex-servicemen
 who are entitled to $1,000 tax ex- l emption because of their service in the World War.

MT Roosevelt last winter. Nothing came of that nor of sales tax proposal. The administration de- termined to limit the 1893 revenue bill to extension of 1882 emergency taxes enacted for one year only. But faced with unemployment and with progressive rebellion in both parties unless he backs a pub- lie works program, Mir Roosevelt must seek new revenue. The pub 1ic work bonds will be amortized by sinking fund of $22O,000.0O0 annually. New taxes are to raise that fund.
 After Vice. President Garner, Speaker Rainey, Chairman Harri- son of the senate finance commit tee, Senate Majority Leader Robin son and others conferred last win- ter with Mir Roosevelt. 1t was sug- gested that normal income tax rates be raised from four to six per cent on the first $4,000 and from eight to 12 per cent above 5000.
 Mir Roosevelt's alternative tax suggestions. expected tomorrow. probably will include:
 l. Increased normal income tax rates.
 2. A gasoline tax increase from one cent to two.
 3. Sales or import taxes on eof-

 The Wilby Spanish club were given permission to use the Wilby auditorium May 19 for an enter tainment and the Bunker Hill Parent-Teacher association to use the school gym May IS for card party, the proceeds to be used for school purposes. Rev Michael J. Lynch, pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel church, was given sanction to use the basement of B. w. Tinker school Sunday morn- ing, May 2S for communion breakfast. Permission was grant ed to the City Hall girls to use the Wilby pool Thursday evenings for an hour. The financial re- ports from Wilby high and Slocum grammar schools were approved. Bills amounting to $11,38O.42 were read by Commissioner Nathan Freedman of the financa commit tee and were received by the board and the recommendation that they
 be turned over to the board of finance adopted.
 Quirino c. Santoro of 32 Granger street was given permission to take the photograph of the graduating class at Henry s. Chase school, in- forming the. board that his son was member of the class. 4 It was voted to close the public schools Wednesday, May A when Downie Brothers circus will appear at the American Brass grounds in the west end section of the city. Superintendent Condon informed the commissioners that after the
 next board meeting the members
 will adjourn to Wilby high school
 where a get-together will be held. Mrs Mary Napolitano, represent ing the Hopeville district, stated
 that she hoped the board would sanction Hopeville children remain
 ing at the school instead of being changed to Mulcahy, claiming that the distance and hardships to the latter institution did not appeal to the children's parents.
 After the regular meeting the members held private session in the office of the superintendent and talked about leaks" of business transacted at committee meetings and published in the papers before it comes to the attentoin of the full board. Nothing was done about it, all agreeing that while somebody is in league with the press. and that while it is harmful to the best interests of the school board. nobody knew how to detect the "leak", consequently no remedy was suggested, except that 1t was the opinion of all that there Is q question of honor involved which should be respected.
