DANz|G bALLOT|NG
BRINGS PROTEST
Anti-Nazis Charge Constitu-
tion WrecRed-PIan
League Appeal.
BY the Associated Press. .

BY the Associated Press.
FREE CITY OF DANZIG, April e.
The fires Of political animosity smoul-
dered today as anti-Nazis charged
Nazis with wrecking the city's consti-
tuition and announced their intention
OF appealing to the League of Nations
Tor new parliamentary election.
Anti-Nazi groups drew up three peti-
tions branding Sundays balloting as
illegal because it was conducted by a
government alleged to be welding
power in violation Of the constitution.
The memorials sought to have the
League set aside the results of Sun
days voting, in which Nazis won a
majority, but fell short OF the two
thirds margin on which they staked
their hopes as move toward reuniting
DanZig with the fatherland.
The petitions were drawn UP by
members of the Catholic, Socialist and
Polish parties.
Violations Enumerated.
1t was said they would charge the
Nazi-controlled government with the
following violations of the liberal con-
stitution conferred on the district by
the League of Nations:
l. Passing laws protecting Nazi party
members, but excluding members
2. Passing law authorizing police
to take citizens into protective Gus
tody."
8. Withholding information concern
/ ing the city's financial affairs.
The petitions were to be delivered to
the League Of Nations Council May 18
1t was said they also would raise anew
the question OF freedom Of the press,
contending opposition newspapers
have been frequently suppressed.
Violence f1ared in various sections
Of the city as an aftermath Of the
voting. Poles living in Brantau a
suburb, accused Nazis Of entering the
home Of one of their number and
beating him. In an ensuing fight
relative Of the alleged victim was shot
| in the chin, and a Nazi received a
critical bullet wound in the stomach.
Socialists charged that so members
Of their party were beaten at Zoppot.
Correspondent Held.
Meanwhile, Joel Gang, Polish cor
respondent for three British news
/ papers, who was arrested as he at
tempted to file a news dispatch, was
held incommunicado. Authorities said
he would be brought to trial and would
face penalties Of from three to l8
months in prison.
AS q result Of the anti-Nazi pro-
tests, the League Of Nations Council.
in the midst Of efforts to persuade
Germany to return to Geneva, will be
called on to make a decision which
may directly affect the international
peace negotiations
If the Council upholds the Danzig
constitution, it will throw protective
blanket over the first opposition which
so far has been able to defy Hitlerism.
This. the anti-Nazis are aware, would
be likely to irritate the Berlin govern
| ment. which might use the situation
as further argument against return
ing to the League.
The protests will be handed TO Sean
Lester, League high commissioner for
Danzig, who will send them to Geneva
with an impartial report on the free
city's difficulties.

car crashed head-on into a Southern
Pacific gravel train. It was the worst
Of several accidents which have &C.
companied heavy transforms over the
State in the past three days. Nine
other persons have lost their lives
through drowning, and untold prop

The victims Of the accident we're
killed instantly and their bodies flung
into q 60-foot ravine by the side Of
the tracks. An eleventh worker was
possibly fatally injured, while three
others escaped with minor hurts.
Weather Clears.
Threats Of more serious food
hazards were believed averted today
with the passing Of the peak of the
storm and the prospective return OF
clearing weather.
Homes, farms, crops, stores, high
ways and railroads all suffered from
the effects Of the storm in many
sections of California. notably in the
Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys
Records Of half a century standing

Angeles were shattered by the rains
that pushed the seasonal total

NAL and far above precipitation In
recent years.
Valley rivers were choked with the
run-of from the Sierra Nevada. over
flowing thousands of acres Of low
lands and into towns.
Sacramento Alarmed.
Tributaries Of the Sacramento River
created the chief hazard, pushing II
up within inches of flood stage OF
Sacramento. The river dropped
slightly to 286 feet last night, but
reclamation engineersbfeared it might
rise again today.
The Feather River, one of its feed
ers, passed flood stage north of Sacra-
mento last night, and In its rush
swept away a mile OF Southern Pa
cif1c tracks on the Marysville branch
line
Rising waters drove many persons
from their homes. One hundred
were driven from river bottom camps
at Marysville. Merced was from to
feet deep in water in the business
district and parts of its residential
sections when the Bear Greek over
flowed there last night.
Merced hotels we're jammed by per-
sons quitting their flooded homes
Damage was estimated around $780,
900 in that city. Boats and canoes
were used for transportation as scores
Of automobiles stalled, and several sick
persons were taken to hospitals In
nigh-wheel wagons.
Ten thousand acres Of the Merced
irrigation district were reported flood
ed by waters Of the Bear and Mari
posa Greeks.
Fruit trees in blossom and the
strawberry crops were damaged by
the storm.
Two days work with steam shovels
was estimated as necessary to clear
Western Pacific tracks in the Feather
River Canyon Of landslides.

was almost completely isolated by
blocked highways. Impeded transpor-
tation caused the closing Of many

j. s. AND FRANCE
RAT|FY TAX PACT
Threat of Big Assessments
of American Firms Is
Removed.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 9.-France and the
United States exchanged ratifications
today Of their long pending treaty to
end double taxation on American firms
with branches in this country.
Ambassador Jesse l. Strauss Of the
United States first affixed his sigma
ture to the document. then Foreign
Minister Pierre Laval. Ambassador
Strauss, completing the formalities.
expressed pleasure that the lengthy
negotiations had finally been con-
cluded
The treaty was signed April n, 1882,
but its ratification had been held up
in the French Parliament by legis-
lators who considered it too favorable
to the United States.
The treaty ends a threat that sew
eral American firms would be COM
PEELED to pay enormous amounts in
back taxes. Cases on file alone repre-
sent claims Of $4,000, 900. Several
of the companies had threatened to
close their French branches unless the
situation were rectified.
The treaty as ratified does not in
clude the rider suggested in the French
Senate two weeks ago. which would
have sought additional tax concessions
for Frenchmen doing business In the
United States.
The double taxation laws set aside
by the Franco.American treaty placed
assessments of 16 to 10 per cent on
dividends resulting from the French
operations Of foreign corporations.
The regulations have not been en-
forced pending completion Of the nego-
tiations.
Among the United States corpora
tions affected were the international
Telephone & Telegraph Co., General
Motors Corp, the Ford Motor Co., the
Guaranty Trust Co., the National City
Bank and the Chase National Bank.

last July II, Gen. johnson actually

STOCK MARKET
PRICES LOWER;
VOLUME DROPS
Losses Range to 2 Points
With All Sections Hit
by Pressure.
BIZ United Press


NEW YORK, March 4.-Trading
on the Stock Exchange dropped to
a slow pace today and prices de-
clined in all sections. Losses ranged
to nearly 2 points.
Traders were drawn between two
conflicting points of view-outlook
for. imitation as a result of the drop
in the dollar in Paris. and the state
ment by Donald Richberg, chief
NRA executive, that there would be
no initiation under Roosevelt. They
withdrew from the market. Left to
its own the list sagged.
Mining shares, firm at the outset,
joined the drop on the Curb as well
as on the Big Board. Losses were
held to a point in the group, how
ever, the widest in Dome and Nc
Intyre Porcupine. The latter made
a new 1885 high before turning
down.
Spiegel, May, Stern made new
1885 low at 6642, off rs, in the mail
order shares, where other issues
were about steady. Rails eased
fractionally as did most of the
utilities. Motors were steady,
sugars firm and steelS lower
The feature of the day was a rise
in United States government bonds,
inspired in part by the Richberg
statement, and by the governments
plan to refund outstanding Liberty
4th 4As with bonds bearing a rs
per cent coupon.

SWINE MARKET
MOVES LOWER
Prices Generally 5 to IS
Cents Under Last
Weeks Close.

Increased supplies and a slightly
weaker demand at the Indianapolis
Union Stockyards today sent porker
prices generally 5 to Is cents lower
than last weeks close. However,
only lightweight classes were af-
fected by the major decline and the
top price remained al 1915.
Receipts were estimated at 1000,
still slightly under a normal run
for a regular session. The extreme
ly heavy demand for hogs Saturday

buyers were hesitant in making
early purchases. The bulk, 100 to
400 pounds, sold at $3.50 to 1910,
while few better kinds ranged up
ward to 1915. Small slaughter pigs,
scaling 100 to 1870 pounds, cashed in
at $6.75 to SITS. Packing soWs held
at So to $500. HoldoverS were LOG.
With steers. and heifers scarce i'll
the cattle market, early supplies con-
sisted largely of cows selling from
S425 to $3.50. All classes were
active and mostly stationary at Sat-
urday's close. Few steers sold I'M
Ger $1,000, while heifers ranged from
Sc to $3.50 Receipts numbered 900.
Vealers held unchanged, salable at
$40 down. Receipts we're 500.
Weak undertone featured trading
in the lamb market with most
grades around Is cents lower Bulk
of good and choice kinds sold from
$3.50 to $875, while heavies cashed
in at SO down. Throwouts ranged
from $3.50 to SO. Slaughter sheep
