CAMP
QUARANTINE

Quarantine of the federal tran
sient camp at 400 Commercial street
was ordered by DR.. Warren Fox
county health officer this morning.
The ban is to be in effect for per-
iod of Ia days.
This action was taken by the
county health officer following the
death of Nathan Culpepper, Al, of
spinal meningitis at the county hos
pital last night. Culpeper had been
registered at the federal camp since
January 3 and was removed to the
county hospital on Thursday.
Il feel there is no cause for
alarm" Dr. Fox stated this morn
ing, "as sporadic cases of this dis
ease occur throughout the country
especially in the months of March,
April and May. This action is taken
as a precautionary measure in &C
cordance with provisions of the
state law" DR.. Fox added.
Efforts are being made to locate
relatives or friends of Culpepper
following his death. The camp has
no definite record of such relatives,
but it is hoped that an examination
of his personal belongings might
bring some such information to
light.

PARKING CLINT
ORDINANCE TO
BE ENFORCED

Commencing today the police
department will start enforcing the
two hours parking limit in the bust
ness section of the CITY," Chief OS-
walt announced today.
1--WE have been lenient for some
time with motorists" the chief said,
but conditions in the business sec
ton have become such that we find
it necessary to tighten up and en-
force the law to prevent undesirable
traffic conditions.
Cali violators of the parking limit
will be given ticket and they will
be fined If convicted in the police
court. We are going to make this a
flat rule and there will be no ex-
ceptions. It will not do to pull
wires to have the fine suspended,
for we are going to penalize all vio-
lators without regard to who they
may be.
"All prohibited parking places
will be marked so there will be no
legitimate excuse on the part of Of
tenders. We ask the cooperation of
Ell Centre motorists in enfo cling the
law"

United Press Informed Colonel
Questioned Last Month AT
Washington.

WASHINGTON, April Ia. UP)-
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh submit
ted to secret questioning in connec-
ton with the senate airmail in
quiry at the time of his visit to
Washington last month, the United
Press learned today.
Lindbergh was questioned for sew
eral hours by Col. Carl RiStine,
department of justice official who
is aiding the senate committee in
its investigation. The interview con-
cerned an expansion of certain fea-
lures of the aviatorS testimony be-
fore the senate committee.
Colonel Lindbergh is an aviation
expert a United Press informant
said. "He has a vast store of infor-
nation about aviation matters and
the committee took advantage of his
! knowledge to throw further light on
| certain matters. He was questioned
as an expert, rather than as an in
dividual."

Ristine's office the day before Lind
bergh left washington after testi-
flying before the senate committee.
A stenographic transcript of ques-
lions put to him by Ristine and the
| aviator's answers was taken by an
assistant in the department of JUS
tice.
The United Press was advised the
interview was confined to aviation
! subjects and that the justice de-
partment was not concerned with
the inquiry.
Ristine undertook the interview
as a routine matter of his assist
ance to the airmail committee and
a justice department assistant made
the stenographic report by chance
since he was the only person with
stenographic knowledge available.
A. G.. Patterson, chief investiga-
| tor for the Black airmail commit
| tee, told the United Press that he
had entered the office on another
errand and met the colonel by acct
; dent. He had no knowledge of the
subject matter of Ristine's question

BY PRODUCE
MERCHAN rs

A. j. Bloomgarden and Sons, Inc,
we'll known commission merchants
of Detroit, represented in Califor-
mia by Dave Bloomgarden, today
lost its license to operate in the
state of California when G. j. Ca
rey, chief of the division of market

license previously enjoyed by them
following hearing in the Los An
geles office of the division, accord
ing to the announcement Of B. A.
Harrigan, agricultural commission
er, who made public the results of
the departments investigation and
action.
Prominent shippers of Imperial
Valley and Salinas jacksonville dis
trict appeared at the hearing and
presented claims against the Bloom
garden firm. All the claims we're
based on non-payment of invoices
for lettuce shipments. In some
cases checks issued by Bloomgarden
were returned for insufficient funds
and in other cases no payment at
all had been made. In several in
stances the shipper had been
obliged to divert the cars and sell
to the best of their ability, taking
severe losses on the transactions, al
though the cars were purchased at
shipping point f. o. b. prices after
inspection by the agent of Bloom
garden at the time.
Carey's order indicated that
Bloomgarden might have thirty
days within which to send to the
division offices at Sacramento the
total amount due local shippers, but
if satisfactory adjustment were moi
made within thirty days, final re-
vocation of TIE license would re-
suit.

amounts were found due the fol-
lowing shippers: A. j. Simmons, E
Centre, $312143; Crown Packing
company, Salinas, $l634.43; Colder

NEW DIRECTOR OF TRANSIENT
CAMP MAKING IMPROVEMENTS

shelter, to which all applicants are
sent for their first night in the
city, is located at present on Broad
way between Sixth and Seventh
streets. 1t is the intention of the
camp regime however, to move this
shelter to ground adjoining the
present camp at 400 Commercial.
Lumber for this new building is now
on the grounds and it's construction
will start within few days.
Rules Liberal
The hospital and isolation wards
have been moved to ground in the
city park just to the rear of the
camp and all cases needing medical
care or attention will be handled
there.
At present the camp numbers
242 men of all creeds and political
beliefs. Neither creed nor politics
enter into the reception of anyone
here, according to notice tackled
on the wall. The rules which must
be followed are few, in fact we
could not find any definite printed
list of such rules and understand
that they are of an extremely gen.
eral nature such as obtain in any
other similar institution.
The men are served with plain
but substantial food in a mess hall
which serves 1853 at one sitting.
The cooking and other work is done
by men from their own ranks all
taking turns at doing those tasks
which are necessary for the main
tenance of order and efficiency in
the camp.

The Rankin-Norr resolution, dir
Getting the federal power commission
to investigate and compile rates
charged for electricity to residen-
tial, rural, commercial and indus
trial consumers throughout the
United States, was signed today
by President Roosevelt.
Approval of the resolution was

E. Rankin, D., Miss. its sponsors.
Mr.. Roosevelt presented Senator
Norris the pen he used.
This is the first measure of
its kind ever passed in this coun-
try" Rankin said Its effects will
be far reaching. In my opinion it
will do more to bring justice to
the consumers of electric energy
than any other step yet taken,
with the exception of the passage
of the muscle shoals bill.
Il predict that the publicity
it will give and the determinations
and excessive rates it will reveal
will result in a reduction in the
costs of light and power to the
ultimate consumers of this country
of not less than $5O,O00,00O a year
to begin with. 1t may reach many
times that amount"

TAX MEASURE
TURNED OVER
TOPRES|DENT
Unusual Procedure Followed
After Bill Is Approved By
Senate So To 7.
MAY BE ACCORDED VETO
House Given No Opportunity
To Consider Amendments Put
On By Independents.
BY ii. o. THOMPSON

United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April IA. The
new tax bill, many times revised
by the senate before it was passed
last night, was submitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt today before the
house had been given the opportun-
ity of considering the senate
amendments. The procedure was
considered unusual.
The $500,000,000 measure, with
higher taxes on large incomes and
lower taxes on small incomes, has
now passed both houses.
1t provides for publicity on tax
returns and for heavy levies on
inheritances.
Usually after the senate adopts
tax bill it goes back to the house,
but the present bill will not go
back until Mr.. Roosevelt has CIV
en- his opinion on changes orig
mated by Republican independent
senators which almost doubled the
amount of potential revenue ask
ed by the administration.
Capital tax experts estimated
that the bill in the form If passed
the senate, after nearly two weeks
of raiding by the liberal group in
tent upon higher taxation, would
bring $488,000,000 in new revenue
The house bill provided for $685.
100000 in new income.
One reason for consulting Mr..
Roosevelt was to determine his
attitude toward the tax on cocoanut
and other oils imported from the
Philippines. The President has OPP
posed this tax Some have believed
he might veto the bill for this
reason.
Seven Opposing Votes
A roll call was taken when the
bill passed the senate after nearly
two weeks of debate. 1t found only
seven votes against the measure.
All were cast by Republicans-W.
Warren Barbour, N. j., L. j. Dick
simon, Iowa, Friedrich Hale, Me,
Daniel o. Hastings, Del, Felix
Herbert, R. l., Henry w. Ekeyes,
N. H., and John Townsend, Del.
Principal features of the senate
tax bill include:
1t imposes a blanket 10 per cent
recovery tax" increase for one
year on all income taxes. Even
with this increase the income tax
rates are below present levies ex-
cept in the higher brackets.
Increased taxes were voted on
large inheritances. Surtax rates
were increased.
Income tax returns were made
public records, open to public in
Spection.
The privilege extended to affil-
lated corporations of filing con-
solidated tax returns at a slight
ly increased rate was removed.
