Moving contrary to the declining
trend which is usual at this season,
business activity in Southern Cali
fornia increased during May to the
highest level registered this year,
according to the monthly summary
Of business conditions compiled and
published by the Security-First Ma
tional bank of Los Angeles.
Improvement was also evident in
contrast with May of last year. A
composite index of selected factors
rejecting the prosperity Of this
area now stands approximately 8
per cent above a year ago and %
per cent higher than at the low
point of the depression. While the
current showing is encouraging in
that it reverseS the downward trend
apparent in April, the review points
out that the gain is Of moderate
proportions and that the high point
reached last July has not been re-
gained as yet.
The summary continues in part as
follows:
Local industrial activity during
Nav was increased to consider
able degree by advance purchases
occasioned by the prospect OF rising
prices. Steel plants were actively
engaged in completing second quar-
ter orders for customers who feared
higher quotations or interruption OF
operations due to labor difficulties
In the automobile tire industry, the
improved outlook for stabilizatlon
of tire prices at advanced Levels
caused considerable buying, par
ticularly during a period OF price
weakness which occurred during the
first part Of May.
"Sales of Los Angeles department
stores were approximately 3 pei
cent larger in May than in April
an interval in which a decline OF
4 per cent is normal. In contrast
with a year ago. the volume ol
trade was practically unchanged
When the price rise of the past l.
months is taken into consideration
however. it becomes apparent thai
a smaller physical quantity OF mer'
chandise crossed the counters ol
local stores during the month Jus'
ended than in May, 1888.
preliminary reports indicate thal
most California crops will be ol
satisfactory size and quality this
season despite rainfall shortage
/ While some lines undoubtedly re-
main depressed, it now appears thai
the aggregate income Of the farmers
of this state will be larger in 193I
| than in 1888, matter OF especia
significance in view of the higf
rank held by agriculture among th'
sources of California's economic
wealth. The advance in prices o.
citrus is an example of the curren
Improvement.
Deposits Gain
DEPOSITS of reporting member
banks in Los Angeles showed fur
ther increases during the four week
ended May %, carrying the total tt
! the highest level for the recovery
period. The expansion was almos
entirely accounted for by thu
growth of time funds, inasmuch a

LIQUOR VIOLATIONS
REVOKE LICENSES
A. B. c. Acts on Illegal Sale of
Alcoholic Beverages on
Sunday.

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board yesterday revoked a liquor Ii
cense held by John B. Griffith for
412 Tenth street and a beer license
of Aaron Raum for 3276 M street on
findings that beverages have been sold
on Sunday in violation of the liquor
law.
In announcing the decision George
w. Offutt, chairman of the board,
said other beverage license holders
should take these instances as an in
dication that the A. B. C.. Board will
not tolerate Haunting of provisions
of the liquor law or terms of the liquor
regulations. He said revocation of
licenses was necessary to create re-
spect for the law. and that the board
would revoke licenses. ,
The case against the Griffith es-
Roy e. Blick. The findings of the
board were that whereas Griffith. In
his application, stated he would per-
sonally supervise the business, George
Handges actually was left in charge;
that Handges had sold on credit a
quantity of liquor to Joseph Matthew
Shulda, with knowledge that Shulda
would sell liquor on Sundays. Shulda
was said to be an occupant of third
floor room at the Tenth street ad-
dress. While the licensee may not
have known of the Sunday sales and
the selling on credit he could have
easily learned these facts and there
fore should be held to account for
negligence, the board decided.

DEC|S|ONDUES SOON
ON D. c. LOAN BILL
King Expected to Decide
Tomorrow Whether to
Seek Conference.

A final decision Is expected to be
reached tomorrow by Chairman King
Of the Senate District Committee on
whether to ask the Senate to accept
House amendments to the District
public works loan bill, or to seek a
conference with the House in the
hope of having the House provisions
liberaliZed.
As passed by the Senate, the bill
authorized the District to apply for
a loan up to $4,000, 900. Of which
$4,000, 900 was to be allocated for con-
tinuing the park development pro-
gram under the Capper-Crampton
park law, and the balance for a
number Of urgent municipal improve
ments.
In order to get the bill through
the House, a special rule had to be
obtained, and in following this PFC
cedure it became necessary to re-
duce the authorization to $40, ,750. 900.
This scaling down Of the total ellnj-
mated the park purchase proposal,
the municipal center and an antici-
pated school building program The
loan authorized in the House bill
would cover only the sewage dispo-
sal plant, q new tuberculosis hos
pital, enlarged facilities at Gallinger
Hospital and necessary improvements
at the Lorton Reformatory.
Senator King has been weighing
for several days the question Of
whether to 60 to conference and try
to get some of the Senate projects
restored, or to accept the House pro-
visions. which would complete legis-
lative action and send the bill to the
President for signature.
The Utah Senator deferred de-
cision over the week end in order to
consult again tomorrow with various
groups, including officials of the Park
and Planning Commission and Dis
trict officials. It Is known that the
Senator Is far from satisfied with the
amount in the House bill. At the
same time, he has indicated he wants
to do whatever is best for the legis-
lation. If he concludes that passage
of the measure might be endangered
by going to conference, he probably
will move to concur.
It is believed he will present to the
Senate tomorrow the course he final
ly decides to follow
Under both the Senate and House
bills, 10 per cent of the authorization
would be repaid by the District.

DEFICIENCY FUND.
PLAN ABANDONED.
House Members Drop Pro-
posaI for A. B. c. and
Utilities Appropriations.

Efforts to obtain supplemental
item in the last deficiency appropria-
ton bill to avoid the impending re-
duction in the force of the Public
Utilities Commission have been aban-
doned, 1t was learned yesterday, but
members Of the Senate are still con-
sidering the need of the District Al
coholic Beverage Control Board for
$l8,400 for its inspection staff.
Some thought also has been given
to the need for adequate personnel
to enable the District Parole Board to
carry on its work. but whether such
an amendment will be offered in the
Senate Is understood to depend on
whether House members In charge OF
the District appropriation matters in
dicate such a course would be accepta-
BILE to them
The impending curtailment in the
personnel Of the Utilities Commission
grows out of the reduction Of approx
mately $4,000 made in the commits
sions allowance in the new District
appropriation act. Senator Thomas,
Democrat, of Oklahoma. few days
ago was considering the advisability
of having some of this reduction car
ried in the deficiency bill.
Item to Be Excluded.
It Is understood, however, that
House members felt this would be go
ing against the final agreement
reached on the District appropriation
act. No further steps will be taken.
therefore, to include anything for the
Utilities Commission In the pending
measure.
The need of the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board for $18,400 for eight
inspectors to supervise the liquor laws
was explained to the Senate subcom-
mittee yesterday by George w. Offutt,
a member Of the board. While the
subcommittee will not decide on
charges in the bill until tomorrow it
is understood members Of the sub
committee believe the board should
have an adequate inspection force.
Hear Babcock Protest.
The subcommittee yesterday heard
e. Claude Babcock, president Of the
American Federation Of Government
Employees, oppose a proviso in the
House bill which would allow the
General Accounting ONCE to appoint
temporary employees without regard to
the civil service rules and regulations.
Babcock told the subcommittee that
while the proviso is not mandatory.
"the fact of the insertion Of the pro-
viso In the bill certainly means some
thing and can only mean that there
is desire to make non-merit ap-
pointments, few or many"
Enumerating objections to the pro-
vision, Babcock said 1t would result in
less efacient personnel. would be in
derogation of the merit system, and
would be bad for the morale of the
service by mixing merit and non
merit employees.

Valuation Must Be Made
Before Auction Set for
June 1o.
HEARING ON SALE DELAY
MOTION TO BE TUESDAY
Petition for Value Investigation
Was Filed on Behalf of Non
Depositing Bondholders.

The Mayflower Hotel, scheduled for
sale at public auction June l9, must
be appraised before that time under
an order signed yesterday in District
Supreme Court by Justice Jesse c.
Adkins
Those named by the court to make
the appraisal are Charles H. Tomp-
kins. chairman of the Appraisal Com
mittee Of the Washington Real Es-
tate Board; Harold E. Doyle, real
estate man; Frank Hight. formerly
manager of the Willard Hotel, and
Morris Cafritz, builder.
The petition for the appraisement
was filed by Harold H. Shaller, rep
resenting a group of bondholders who
have not deposited their securities
with any of the so-called protective
committees. The order specified the
task must not cost more than So $500.
Tuesday Set for Hearing.
1t was generally believed the ap-
praiSal would necessitate a postpone
ment of the sale date and Justice Ad-
kinS. set Tuesday as a date for a
hearing on a motion to delay the sale
@AS VIM Ava eAAS aRRA dAodA, WlllIll
specifics that it is not to be con-
strued as modifying in any respect the
decree of sale, was drafted by At
torney Hugh Obear, representing the
corporate trustee of the first mortgage
or the hotel.
During the discussion of the court S
authority to altar the terms of the
decree, Attorney Paul E. Lesh, repre-
senting committee of first mortgage
bondholders, took exception to a state
ment yesterday by S. Wallace Demp-
sey, former Representative, that a
client of his should be permitted to
bid for the hotel on the same terms
as the bondholders
Dempsey told Senate subcommit-
tee investigating the proposed sale and
represents a client willing to bid $3,-
72l 500 for the property.
Attacks Dempsey Request.
Lesh said the on-depoSiting bond
holders, under Dempseys offer, would
receive 1872 cents on the dollar
whereas they would get so cents on
the dollar if the porperty should be
bought in at the same price by the
Bondholders' Committee And yet,"
the attorney added. "he has the
eftrontery to ask for the same terms"
Justice Adkins said he felt 1t was
the courts duty first to consider the
interests of ali the bondholders as a
unit. and then the respective interests
of the depositing and non-depositing
holders.
The Senate subcommittee will re-
sumo its inquiry at 1920 am. tomor-
row, with Lesh scheduled to take the
stand for questioning about the plan
OF reorganization.
Harry Wardman and John L..
Weaver, both long prominent in local
real estate circles. also will be called
to testify concerning their appraisals
of the property in 1928. when the
bonds were being marketed. Another
witness will be John Lewis Smith, one
of the hotels receivers. who will be
recalled to amplify some of his pre-
vious testimony.
