STATE SENATE
PREPARES To
APPROVE BILL
Threat OF March On Capital By
Debt-Ridden Farmers Decides
The Issue
TIME LIMIT Is EXTENDED
Easier Terms Than Provided In
Bill As Originally Drafted By
Committee

SACRAMENTO, June 8. U.Pl-A
conservative senate prepared to give
way today to the demands of Cali
fornia farmers for a liberal mort
gage moratorium law.
In virtually the same form it
passed the assembly, the Jones bill
was expected to be approved today.
Liberal features of the measure
were re-incorporated only after
senate opposition dwindled in the
face of a march to the capitol by
debt stricken farmers.
The measure would grant a NOR
atorium until october, 1887, on
property not in default for insur-
ance or taxes. The debtor could
obtain court decree as to the
amount to be paid on the basis of
his income. Taxes would have a
prior lien.
The bill was more liberal than
the moratorium originally drafted
in the Judiciary committee in that
it extended the expiration period
a year; prohibited interest from
being more than six months in ar
rears and lid not specify the prior
ity of taxes in any adjustment that
might be made.
One amendment was accepted
which extended the moratorium to
personal property used in opera
ton of agricultural land" Debate
on the proposal, made by Senator
A. L. Pierovich, Jackson, was the
most extended during consideration
last night. 1t finally passed, 20 to
Is, but was to be reconsidered to-
day. ri
Pierovich pointed out that
moratorium on farms would be use
less should the farmer be deprived
of the implements necessary In crop
production.
To Halt Racket
Because of nconstitutionality of
the Frazier -Lemke farm morator-
ium act, opponents said they feared
such provision might threaten
validity of the proposed state act.
1t was argued, however, that should
any provision of the Jones bill be
found unconstitutional, the validity
of the remainder could not be i'm
paired.
Because Of new feature prohib-
iting the granting of moratorium
on property purchased after the
effective date of the act, propon-
ents were hopeful that racketeering
in default property operations
would be ended.
| Tt was found that property faced
with foreclosure was snapped up
below market value, its assets
MIXED" after a moratorium was
automatically granted under the
old law, and finally dropped far
below its original value.
In it's final draft, the bill was
approved through adoption of a
committee report which was filed
after an eight hour study by five
senators.

dence of 324 to 160 early this morn
ing.

val promised atht during the parlia-
mentary vacation the cabinet would

consulting the chairmen and report
ers of the senate and chamber fl
nance committees.

LAWYER SAYS
ACTOR 8 WIFE
WAS AMAZON
Barrymore's Attorney Files
Answer In Divorce Action
Making Sensational Charge

LOS ANGELES, June 8. UP) =
Dolores Costello, estranged wife of
John Barrymore, was depicted in
court action today as an iron-fist-
ed Amazon who once held her hus-
band virtual prisoner on their
palatial yacht.
The charge was contained in an
answer Henry Hotchener, Barry
more'S manager and financial ad-
visor, filed to Miss CoStello's di-
vorce suit against the dashing ac-
tor.
Hotchener, who is a co-defend-
ant in a suit which asks that he be
compelled to account for his clients
financial position, charged that
women guards" were employed to
keep Barrymore aboard the yacht,
"Infanta." The actor remained un-
der the yigilant eye of this guard"
for some two and a half months,
Hotchener declared.
He charged that Miss Costello
hit upon this plan "to deprive
Barrymore of his liberty on a false
charge of habitual intemperance."
Barrymore finally left California
to escape his wife, Hotchener fur
ther charged. He represented the
actor as preferring to remain in
Hollywood where he had greater
opportunity" in motion pictures but
that the harassing conduct of his
wife forced him to pack up and
leave.
Even after he did leave, he kept
his wife constantly informed of his
whereabouts, but the only response
he received in five months was a
single letter, according to Hotch-
ener.
Hotchener said Miss Costello
throughout the separation refused
to join her husband or to have any
marital relations with him. After
the actor learned of her hostile"
attitude last February, he cut off
her allowance and informed her
she would have to live on approx
imately $163,500 he had left in her
control, his manager stated.
Hotchener denied Miss CoStello's
allegation that her estranged hus-
band left the state with $375,000
in bonds and securities.

HUNT FOR WEYERHAEUSER BOYS
KIDNAPERS CENTERING in UTAH
Reports That Ransom Bills Passed AT Salt Lake
Causes Concentration OF Federal
Agents At That Point

SALT LAKE! CITY, June 8.
W.P)-Stimulated by the recovery
of 80 ransom notes in the George
Weyerhaeuser kidnapping case,
federal officers today pressed
search for green Cadillac Sc
dan, last seen at Brigham City,
Utah.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June g..
W,P)-Anticipating a "break" in the
Weyerhaeuser kidnapping case, de-
partment of justice agents congre-
gated here today after learning that
a number of ransom bills had been
passed.
L. D. Wines, in charge of the
local department of justice office,
refused to deny or confirm reports
that ransom bills had been found.
Likewise, he refused to comment on
reports that agents from other
sections had been rushed here.
From other sources, however, it
was learned that a number of ran
som notes-"20 or more" accord
ing to a reliable source-had been
passed in Salt Lake City in the
last two days.
The trail, apparently led from a
Cadillac sedan that aroused suspi-
cions Thursday at Brigham City,
Imperial Valley press., 1935-06-08

Utah. Three men and a woman
an attractive blonde-stopped for
gasoline. Their actions caused the
service station attendant to report
to the state highway patrol.
First reports were that the group
passed a $40 ransom note. Police
confirmed the report. Department
of Justice agents denied it, and
later police confirmed the denial.
1t generally was thought, in view
of subsequent developments, that
the party did pass ransom bill.
One unconfirmed report said a
large amount of ransom money had
appeared in local banks, enough to
indicate the entire gang that kid
naped 9-year-old George Weyer-
haeuser had spent at least a day in
Utah.
Federal Chief Arrives
Whether the gang actually had
been in Salt Lake City could not be
determined. 1t was pointed out
that ransom bills passed in other
sections of the state probably would
find their way here since Salt Lake
City is financial headquarters for
the state.
1t was learned also that J. D. Con-
molly, department of justice agent
who had complete charge of the
WeyerhaeuSer case in Washington,
arrived here early today. Local
headquarters refused to confirm the
report.
He was said to have flown here
from the northwest accompanied
by his chief aide, whose name was
not learned.
Federal men remained in con-
slant touch with the local police
station. Wines spent more time at
the police station than at his Of
flee or elsewhere.
Wines would divulge no infor-
nation, officially or otherwise, but
it was learned he expects a break
within two or three days. Some
sources even went so far as to say
the entire case may crack over the
weekend.

BELIEVED LEGAL COURSE

Copyright, 1895. BY United Press
WASHINGTON, June 8. - The
taxing power of the government
would be used to preserve purposes
of the NRA under a plan studied
today in administration circles.
New DEAL lawyers have been
developing the idea since the su-
preme court struck down the code
structure two weeks ago. 1t is an
outgrowth OF modern theories of
legislation put forward by liberal
legal students.
The plan proposes a bill to place
an emergency unemployment tax
on all trades and industries. The
tax would be based on the ratio
rof employees on an employers pay
roll to the number employed by
him on a given date regarded as
normal"
The theory back of the plan is
that the government is forced to
make unusual expenditures for the
relief of the unemployed and that
their former employers should help
bear the burden. In this respect
it resembles retroactive unemploy-
ment insurance while not subject to
some of the objections which might
be raised against such an act.
Recent comment on decisions OF
the supreme court note that there
has been little done toward limit
ing the federal power to tax and
still less on the power to spend
money. Federal expenditures were
questioned early in the history OF
the country on the theory they
would form the basis for an in
vasion of state power.
The constitution gives the gov
ernment the power to lay and col
lect taxes and to provide for the
general welfare. The language in
which this was done has confused

Snake Enjoys Bath
In Pint-Sized Jar

Saturday, according to the tradi-
tional joke, is bath day for mankin.
but it also proves to be bath day
for the pet gopher snake in ]. B.
Norton's famous collection at the
agricultural commissioner office in
the court house.
A pint mason jar filled with wat
er was placed on its side, tilted
upwards, and the snake crawled In
until she reached the bottom,
then made a loop and started out,
pulling her yard long body in bit
by bit until every inche had its
bath.
From then on she ignored the
water, but a curious woman visitor.
unable to believe that the snake
could take a bath in such small
space, asked Norton to have her do
it again, which the snake did, with
some reluctance, obviously feeling
that one bath in one day was suf-
ficient.

TWO VETOES
BY GOVERNOR
Turns Back Measures Providing
For Bond Issues To Obtain
State Revenue

SACRAMENTO, June 8. W.P) =
The first of two major revenue bond
measures was before the assembly
today carrying the veto OF Gov.
Frank F.. Merriam.
The Nielsen bill was returned to
the lower house last night after
the governor had waited until al
most the deadline to take action.
In his veto message, the governor
said that a section in the Nielsen
bill providing for issuance of rev.
enue bonds to finance water and
Power utilities by means of a ma
iority vote was Objectionable"
Pointing out that revenue bonds
should have the approval of a two
thirds majority of the voters, Mer-
riam also said the measure "TailS
to protect the expenditure of funds
provided by sale of bonds by plac-
ing no limitation on the amounts
which may be expended for under
writing and promotional expenses,
nor does it prescribe the minimum
percentage of proceeds of the bond
sales that must actually go into
Improvements"
Proponents of the measure had
urged its approvas, particularly as
q means of aiding the development
of the proposed Central Valley wa
ter project.
The Garrison revenue bond meas
ure, still before the governor, is
broader than the Nielsen bill, but
it also includes the majority vote
feature at which the governor aim
ed much of his veto message.

TUESDAY WILL.
Be DEADL|NE
FOR CHINESE
BY RAY G. MARSHALL
tnited Press Staff Correspondent


TOKYO, June 8.-Next Tuesday
will be the decisive day in Japan's
newest dispute with the Chinese
government, it was understood to-
day.
The japanese high army COM
mand in northern China, after a
meeting at Tientsin, has given the
Chinese government until then to
comply with demands intended to
halt alleged anti-Japanese activi-
ties in the area.
Dispatches, including those of
Japanese correspondents, from
Tientsin and Shanghai indicated
that China was complying with the
demands, and that there would be
no necessity for military action.
However, statements. by several
army men in Tientsin, appearing
daily, pointed to a determination
by the Japanese military author
tiles that there shall be wide chan
ges in present relations. There were
indications that further pressure
will be exerted on the Chinese gov
ernment to do as Japan wishes
generally.
Attacks on Chang Kai-Shek,
Chinese generalissimo continued to
be the keynote of Tientsin state
mentS.
Arrangements were progressing,
it was said, for the removal of
Chinese army headquarters for Ho-
pei province-which includes Tient-
sin and Peiping, the old capital
to Poatingfu, to the south. The
Tientsin branch of the Kuomin-
tang, the government political par
ty, also is to be transferred to Pao-
tingfu. Both removals are Chinese
concessions to Japan, intended to
eliminate any possible cause for
complaint.
