BOTH REVEAL

REAL SORROW AT LASI RUE

Women Completely Ignore Each Other at Services; Mother Keeps Out of Quarrel (By Vnlted Tress) KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 11. Capt. Edward Deeds, soldier of fortune, was buried here today and fell two widows, observing tem porary truce in their bitter battle for recognition, both attended the solemn rites and both showed real sorrow at the grave. ' It was the only time that the two women, who have met face to face on four occasions since Captain Deeds was killed in an airplane crash In China, have seen each other without shouting charges and recriminations. A detail of city detectives attended the funeral to keep peace today, but their presence was not needed. The two widows sat apart at the services. Both were surrounded by groups of friends, but they completely ignored each other. MOTHER SITS APART , Mrs. Betty Deeds, who was married to the aviator for seven years, wept as she looked upon her husband for the last time. Mrs. Marie Deeds, who says she was . married to the flier four days before he crashed to his death in Canton, China, on July 1, kissed the glass on the coffin as she walked past. Mrs. Millie Potvin, the flier's mother, sat apart from both younger women at the sen-ices at the chapel. Later she rode to the cemetery with Mrs. Betty Deeds. She has refused to recognize Marie Deeds as her daughter-in-law. The truce observed at the funeral was broken almost as soon as the services were over. Mrs. Marie Deeds, accompanied by her mother, went to the Union station to board a train for Chicago. Mrs. Betty Deeds followed them there and again demanded proof that the auburn-haired former movie actress had married the aviator, as was claimed. Mrs. Betty Deeds insists she never was divorced, and that a second marriage therefore was inv possible. PROMISES RETURN 'Til be back in two days and then Til straighten it all out," Mrs. Marie Deeds heatedly declared. At home, Mrs. Potvin took no part in the quarrel waged over ber dead son. There she was kept company by her husband, Marshall Potvin, and by her son's friends, Aviators who had known Captain Deeds as a Canadian World war ace, and later as an American army flying Instructor. (Continued from Page One) succeed the dapper, wise-cracking Jimmy Walker, was referred to as the "bettering: ram" and the "machine gun" of the preceding Hylan administration. A corporation counsel under Mayor John F. Hylan, he led the city's continuous fight to keep down transit fares, electric, gas and telephone rates. His friends praised his natv.urai combativeness and gift for oratory. " O'Brien's record as corporation counsel In fighting to retain the 6-cent subway Ure was said to have been a controlling factor in his selection as the Tammany candidate by John F. Curry, the Tammany leaaer ana nis cioee personal friend. LaGuardia, also an orator, goes into the campaign set to capitalize the disclosures of the Seabury committee's exhaustive investigation into the city's government. By his side will be Samuel Seabury, credited with forcing the fusionists to unite on LaGuardia. Frontier boy? consular attache, wartime aviator, politician and lawyer are a few of the things packed in LsGuardia's career. The name of Alfred E. Smith, four-time governor and the Demo cratic presidential nominee in 1928, has been drawn Into the campaign in the last few days. Smith is reported to have insisted on a "showdown" on the regularity of Edward J. Flynn. leader of the Bronx and close personal friend of President Roosevelt. Flynn was the only bor ough leader who did not stand for Smith for the Democratic nomination in Chicago Isst year. Flynn has demanded he be al lowed to name the nominee for president of the board of aldermen without reservations, and Smith is reported to have Insisted that John Theofel, leader In Queens county, be permitted to select the' candidate.

for four hours here yesterday relative to the new sales tax. They asked hundreds of questions and as fast as the problems were asked Professor Roger Traynor, chief of the sales tax division; Dixwell Pierce, Fred E. Stewart, Richard Collins and State Controller Ray I Riley, all representing the board of equalization, tried to answer them. DECIDE WHAT TAXABLE The meeting was called by the state chamber of commerce primarily to get representatives of cham - bers of commerce here for instruct tlon as to what is taxable and what is not taxable. These representatives are to return home and spread the information among home town merchants so there may be less confusion throughout the state relative to the new retail levy. Officials of the state chamber of commerce said their people will work, hand-in-J hand with the state in this campaign of education, even to the extent of seeing that license applications reach local merchants and that the taxable sources understand how and when the tax is payable. WILL CIRCULATE DATA The questions asked and their answers are to be printed and sent to sll chambers of commerce for the edification of local merchants. Members of the state board said many problems are yet to be swered. They said the problems i have been referred to the attorney-: general or are pending the decision! of the board. Pierce and Professor Traynor said two of the foremost problems to be solved are absorption of the tax as means of gaining unfair competitive advantage and profiteering on the state tax. They said the board plans blocking these practices as soon as it decides just what is and Is not taxsble. One of the problems brought out

at the meeting was application of;the areum.nt. that is likelv to be

the tax to sales less than 15 cents. Merchants are using generally the tax scale suggested by the Retail Merchants association which shows articles under 15 cents to be nontaxable. STAMPS ARE CONSIDERED Professor Traynor and Pierce said this has led to the mistaken notion that the lower priced articles are tax free. Everything sold to the ultimate consumer is taxable, they explained. The scale was suggested because the merchant cannot split pennies in taxing sales under 15 cents! The board members said they were considering issuance of "scrip" or some other method whereby the merchant can charge the purchaser on the low bracket sales. Members of the board stressed certain points: 1 That each individual retail es tablishment must apply to the state board of equalization before Septem ber 1 for a retail license, the application to be accompanied by a SI fs a rVV m liansa la OfrA until na V W 44 V.

FREIGHT COST INCLUDED Some of the questions and answers heard at the meeting were: Q Is the tax applied to the full price of a new automobile or Is the freight deducted because it is service? A It is applied to the full price. Q Does the merchant selling gasoline, soft drinks and soda pop have to get two retail licenses be cause he is in two lines of busi ness? A.

State Solons Await 'Mileage5 Reaction

(By United Press) SACRAMENTO, Aug. 1L Assemblymen today apprehensively awaited reaction of constituents and of some 40 senators to their clever but not quite clever enough "mileage" resolution passed the last day of a hectic midsummer legislative session. Members of the lower house have received checks ostensibly for traveling expenses to which, strictly speaking, they are not entitled. Legislators' salaries were exhausted lsst spring. There was no provision made for mileage for the midsummer session. The assembly approved a resolution appropriating S5.244.10 for the payment of salaries for clerks, attaches and officers. This money was turned over to Fred Desch, assistant assembly chief clerk. Desch, It was revealed, remitted his personal check to each assemblyman for traveling expenses. Assemblyman Bruce Stsnnard, San Diego, exposed the subterfuge by lefuslng to accept his check and pronouncing the entire transaction illegal.

go into shoe repairing and polish

and strings I sell over the counter. Should I have to pay tax on the polish and strings when they are for re-sale? A No. The findings should be sold you with a tax but on the polish and strings you collect the tax from the customer through the re-sale. If you pay the wholesaler a tax and collect it from the customer it is double taxation. CONCESSIONS LUMPED Q Should the farmer boarding !hired helD t 50 cents per day take out a retailer's license? A. Not the individual farmer who hires a few men seasonally Companies feeding hired help in mess halls at so much per day may have to. We haven't concluded a ruling on that point (Continued from Page One) but justifies his signature thus: "The wholly unnecessary Riley tax plan was approved by the legislature and submitted to the people. The people approved the sales tax in principle, the legislature passed the bill and I signed it because there was no alternative. Other-

an-jwise, the state could not have paid

its way." Which sounds a bit like Governor Rolph in preparing to submit his candidacy to the people of California again next year by registering anew his opposition to the sales tax. However, he adds this: "The argument that the poor man pays the sales tax while the rich man pays the -income tax is unsound, and, in any event, it is not to the interest of California to drive wealth out of the state." But we think we sense at least one of prominent in the state campaign next summer. J President Roosevelt left his summer White House up the Hudson from New York last night, will spent some time in Virginia today, and reach Washington in the evening, perhaps the situation in Cuba having something to do with his return to the capital in midsummer. There is not the slightest doubt of President Roosevelt's tremendous interest in the Cuban situation, nor equally is there any doubt but that he wishes it settled without blood shed, and so as to give the Cubans a settled and substantial govern ment as quickly as possible, and without bloodshed. The President had been "at home" for two weeks and the Associated Press says that after a week at the capital, he will head back to his home on the HudI son, co spend the rest of the month ! of August there. fflAnd here is another New York item of interest in the news of the morning, for all the signs point to the fact that the metropolis is to determine at the pollg In Novem ber whether it will choose to reelect Mayor John P. O'Brien, or turn the mayor's office over to the fiery Fiorello LaGuardia, with its salary of $40,000 a year, not to mention its wealth of political spoils that Tammany has feasted on for these many years. Mayor O'Brien has been a member of Tammany since he was old enough to vote, and it has rewarded him by keeping him in office for 30 years. Which sug gests that he is not only dignified and capable, but that he is to be trusted, for no scandal is charged to him in his long pubfic career. But he takes the Tammany proThe senate worked for "glory." No mileage resolutions were passed in the conservative upper house. Outspoken criticism of the assembly's sly resolution was expected from some senators. One assemblyman admitted he received his check. "But now that the thing has come out," he added, "I don't propose to cash it We were morally entitled to mileage; and we should have provided for it openly. It was a grave error to get this money the way we did." No move has developed to data to upset the assembly's "hidden ball" formation. An accounting must be made to Controller Ray Riley. But the controller can .do nothing if proper vouchers Are filed. And Arthur Ohnimus, assembly chief clerk, has broken his silence long enough to give definite assurance the vouchers will be ill order. They will contain no reference to "mileage." Capitol reaction was not one of Indignation; It was humorous. Executive officers spoke of erring assemblymen much as they would of small boys who had been caught In the jam closet

Q Should a large store renting concessions in its establishment make each concession take out a license and handle its own tax returns or take out one license for all, collect the tax from them and

make a single payment to the state? A One license and a single pay ment covering all concessions is sufficient. DAIRYMAN PROTESTS Q. I am a dairyman. . The customers to whom I deliver milk will object when they get my monthly bill and find I have added a tax because they can go to retail stores, buy a bottle of milk for eight or ten cents and not have to pay the tax. How will that be l worked out? A That is one reason we will try to get away from the present break-down system and provide the retailer with some means of collecting the tax in fractional amounts. Obviously the present method is unfair. gram. On the contrary, LaGuardia has always been more or less of a reformer and is proud of it. Also, he la a Republican, albeit by no means a regular one, and the question in the New York municipal campaign is whether those "regular" Republicans who make up the I strength of the party in the metrop olis will care very much whether LaGuardia is able to defeat the regular Tammany candidate for mayor. The election comes in November. (JLet no one err as to what the "blue eagle" and the business set-up planned by Gen. Hugh S. Johnson may mean, when it finally gets going. Mr. Johnson himself put it into words yesterday when, excusing himself from certain details at present because of the press of affairs, he added: "But the time is coming when somebody is going to take one of these blue eagles off some one's window in a clear cut case, and that is going to be a sentence of economic death." That was not President Roosevelt speaking, and whether he has that conception of the conditions as they may develop, we do not know. But it Is General Johnson's idea that compliance with what the blue eagle stands for is the price of economic existence In the future. (flThe hard nut to be cracked yesterdsy was furnished by the bituminous coal industry, whose hearing was on in Washington yesterday. The difficult question is that of labor unions. The operators are standing for the open shop and collective bargaining with their own employes, but refuse to deal with outside representatives. For the first time, General Johnson intimated that if the coal operators do not withdraw this provision, the administration at Washington may strike it out, thus leaving the bituminous coal operators in the rather anomalous position of being forced to accept a closed shop, or being "out" with the administration. if This will be good news for San Francisco, for engineers on the Golden Gate bridge reported yesterday that more than half the steel for approach spans and viaducts for the bridge can be made in San Francisco, the tonnage thus made possible being put at 4.622. Which means work for many men for many days in San Francisco plants. me rest or the steel must come from eastern plants equipped with "precision machinery." late bulletin from Havana has that President Machado has prepared a request for a "leave of absence," and that the chief execu tive will submit it to congress at noon. It is forecast that congress will grant the request "without dis cussion." 5 2 2 IJNo session of the stock ex J changes today, and the New York exchange sold only 1,342,590 shares yesterday. Which was getting ready for the two-day holiday. Utilities Company Declares Dividend (By Associated Press) SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 11.

JOHNSON SAYS NBA TO REACH BEYOND LAWS

i r i i l Administrator ueciares ruDiic Opinion to Force Industries To Join NRA Campaign .(Continued from Page One) agreements to raise wages and decrease hours of work, the adminis trator added: "But the time Is coming when somebody is going to take one of these blue eagles off of someone's window in a clear-cut case. And that is going to be a sentence of economic death." Hundreds of applications for tem porary effectiveness of codes are on file and the administration is concentrating upon pushing these through as fast as they can be analyzed and approved. The controversy -encrusted code for the bituminous coal industry moved slowly ahead at a hearing, but there was slight indication that the various groups among the operators were nearer an agreement and the difficult question of labor unions remained unsolved. With the operators standing firm upon their provision for an open shop under which they would grant collective bargaining to their own employes but would not deal with outside representatives, Johnson Indicated to newspaper men that if it is not voluntarily withdrawn the administration itself would strike it out in the final draft of a code sent to President Roosevelt for signature. The national labor board meantime sought settlement of another Pennsylvania strike that in the Pottsville shirt mills and postponed final action until next week, while Secretary Frances Perkins moved to obtain a wage increase for striking Massachusetts shoe workers. LOSS OF INCOME The Increase is intended to compensate workers for a loss of Income under an agreement for shorter hours entered into by manufacturers in the Boston area, where General Johnson sent his personal emissary Edward F. McGrady this week to appeal for harmony. Other developments of the day Included: (1.) Johnson said the permanent code for the lumber industry, upon which hearings were concluded several weeks ago, was still awaiting a report from the deputy administrator. (2.) A code for the leather and belting industry normally employing about 45,000 persons, was submitted by the Tanners Council of America. (3.) Johnson Intimated that the Federal Government would provide for rigid control over oil production In the petroleum trade practice plan now nearlng completion. (4.) A dispute between members of the owners emergency committee as to what class of trucks should be in the trucking code was settled with agreement that all trucks not coming under codes of individual businesses should automatically be part of the separate agreement. BOOSTS EARNINGS (5.) The women's bureau of labor department reported that the cotton textile code, the first adopted under the recovery act, should Increase women's earnings and purchasing power materially, (6.) Thirty women were named as "lieutenant generals" in their various states to organize the educational and house to house inspection campaign for the NRA. Johnson reiterated during the day to newspapermen that he did not intend to make the NRA a "policing" organization. He pointed out that each industry would be left ss much as possible to govern itself, with the company which la abiding by a code depended upon to report those not fulfilling the obligations. CODE ADOPTED However, he said when this was not successful the Federal trade commission would be asked to move in and finally, if necessary, the department of justice would act un der the fine and Jail sentence provision of the recovery act. Late In the day, the adoption of a code for fair competition by the manufacturers of wood-cased lead pencils for submission probably next week was announced by the Lead Pencil Institute, Inc., with offices here. It includes provisions for a 40-hour week. Modified agreements were approved, also, for the novelty curtain, drapery, bedstead and novelty pillow Industry, and the asbestos Industry. . For the former the terms which may be substituted for presidential employment agreements to obtain the blue eagle included a 40-hour week with a minimum weekly wage of $13 or 3214 cents an hour for factory or mechanical workers. For office employes an average of 40 hours a week over each period of 60 days was provided not to exceed 48 hours in each week. For the asbestos Industry a 40hour week was stipulated for factory or mechanical workers with provisions to permit 48-hour seasonal peaks. The agreement fixed minimum wages of 35 cents an hour or $14 in North Carolina, Ten nessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and other southern states and 40 cents an hour or $16 a week elsewhere.

Cuban Army Machado to

(Continued from Page One) army) navy and aviation corps acted swiftly and smoothly to carry out their program without firing single shot. Artillery battalion No. 1, stationed In Cabana fortress under the com' mand of Capt. Patricio de Cardenas, led the way. It demanded the res ignation of the president within 24 hours. All other battalions were In vited to join in the movement and broadcasts to this effect went out addressed to the interior. The response was unanimous. Detachments stationed at Cabana, Castillo de la Fuerza the location of army headquarters Camp Co lumbia, Dragones barrack and throughout the island announced their accession to the movement. Artillery at Cabana fortress was moved in position to bear on the presidential palace. GUNS ARE MANNED Gen. Alberto Herrera, secretary of war, was called and informed that the army demanded abdication by Machado as the price of political peace in uuDa ana to avoid any threat of intervention by the United States. America is so empowered under the Piatt amendment, which is a part of the Cuban constitution. The palace guard was rushed to man machine guns which were hastily mounted around the president's residence. The presidential guard of cavalry was brought up for reinforcement. Capt, Patricio de Cardenas took command at the Cabana fortress, with Capt. Alonso Gramage in com mand at the old treasury building. Torres Menier moved to the helm at the aviation field, while Colonel Sanguily took charge at Camp Columbia. Col. Erasmo Delgado as sumed leadership at Castillo de la Fuerza. ASSUMES CHARGE Also among the leaders of the movement, Torres Menier said, were Maj. Horacio Ferrer, retired officer of the medical corps, and Col. Alberto de Carrlcarte, attached to the general staff of the navy. Carrlcarte took charge of navy headquarters at the Castillo de la Punta. Torres Menier added that all pilots of the aviation corps had joined the movement. It could not be learned Immediately what officers, if any, had stayed by the Machado rule in other sections of the nation's armed forces, although there was a report that Brlg.-Gen Eduardo Lores, chief of the army general staff, was a prisoner at Castillo de la Fuerza, "The president was informed," Torres Menier continued, "that he must deliver the power peaceably in order to avoid any combat. BEST INTERESTS "The army wants the country to feel that it acted for what it believes to be the best Interests of Cuba in putting an end to the present situation. We ask the people to maintain tranquility, since there will be no violence." It was pointed out that there was one technical flaw in the counter proposal of the president. Under ROOSEVELT TO (Continued from Page One) some plain talking Wednesday to Ambassador Cintas who was to see President Maohado. Reports Mr. Roosevelt had in vited the Cuban president to come and confer with him received no confirmation here. Such a move. however, was regarded unofficially as a logical opening step for res toration of quiet by this adminis tration. The Cuban new deal program provides: First, a return of small planters to the land. Second, a complete downward re vision of the government's external and internal debt to put it on a lower interest basis and provide for a longer amortization period. ihird, arrangement of a sugar production quota.

the Cuban constitution members of the armed forces may not hold elective offices until they have been out of the service at least one year. Herrera's 30 years In the army ended approximately three months ago, when he assumed his cabinet post, It was learned on high authority that the formalities of presenting the counter proposal would be carried out and. that it would nominally be accepted. Welles, Machado and members of the military movement were in con. ference tonight at the palace. It was presumed they were consider ing the routine necessary. CHOICE IS SEEN It was understood, however, that the original program of Welles would be followed in so far as pos siDie, with Machado naming a sec retary of state acceptable to all Cuban political factions and asking congress to accept his request for a leave of absence Carlos Manuel de Cespedes, former minister to Washington and former secretary of state, was viewed In political circles as a probable choice for acting secretary. The constitution provides that the secretary of the state becomes president in event of a vacancy. The acting president would immediately name a cabinet repre senting all political factions. Later a permanent president would be chosen. Lieut. Cesar Lorle, assistant auditor of the army, described the movement from its beginning. "We had been preparing this movement for more than a month," he said, "but it began taking definite shape about lb days ago. Its sole purpose was the avoidance of American intervention. "We of the army believe that President Machado's intention was to provoke American intervention and that we were determined to avoid at all costs. MOVEMENT HURT 'The movement suffered some thing of a collapse on Aug. 9, when Colonel Castillo, in command of the forces at Camp Columbia, learned that all chiefs of battalions had agreed on the movement. So, on the morning of the tenth, Majors Russeau and Betancourt were sent to the Interior. 'But the other chiefs, and in gen eral all the lower officialdom, cap tains and lieutenants, had been agreed for a long time on this movement and maintained firm their decision, which we carried out successfully at 12:30 today. 'The Cuban army does not want to Indicate anyone for president, but we want no military man for president. We only wanted to give the people a chance to say whom they would name." the Lieutenant declared that Herrera was a prisoner for a brief time when he called at the Castillo de la Fuerza until he agreed to treat with President Machado concerning the army's ultimatum. He confirmed the statement of Torres Menier that all Havana military units and their chiefs had joined the movement but said he had no report from the interior. Cuba Happy After Long Tense Time (Continued from Page One) Outwardly, the city was quiet but tense. Suddenly, guards rushed out of the palace of President Machado and barked orders in rapid succession to a detachment of troops already on guard there. Machine guns were rushed to the scene and mounted and manned around and atop the building, 8treets In the vicinity were ordered eleared and commanding officers of the presidential guard sent hurried call. Tor additional troops. 'Presently fo truckloads of soldiers, arms with rifles, roared to the seem and stationed themselves five 1 paces apart around the palace. They formed a complete cordon of khaki clad men. Suddenly, in the height of the excitement, a large automobile containing President Machado and soldiers armed with machine guns and rifles roared through the streets. The car was accompanied by other automobiles bearing armffl men. Speeding outside the city, President Machado, accompanied by his secretary of state and other high government leaders, visited Camp Columbia. There the chief executive was told the troops yould not support him and they demanded he leave office, y Shortly after the president returned to his palace, .the coup d'etat was perfected. Almost with lightning rapidity the news of the military action swept the city. Regular army troops moved into Havana and began a patrol of the streets to the accompaniment of rousing cheeps from the populace. I "Machado is through." "Machsdo Is through," rang cries from the populace. f Streets that for days had been almost deserted wefe quickly, filled with a shoutifig throng.

"The legislature saw fit to reject my budget," the governor contlnued. "It then became necessary for the legislature to look elsewhere for revenue, "The wholly unnecessary Riley tax plan was approved by the legislature and submitted to the peo ple. In the campaign its proponents openly advocated the sales tax, which was an essential provision of their plan. With this Information before them, the peo ple voted for the plan and thereby approved the sales tax in principle; and the legislature, supported by this mandate of the people, adopted a bill providing for a sales tax, which I signed because the people and the legislature had left me no alternative, as otherwise the state could not have paid its way. UNSOUND ARGUMENT 'The argument that the poor man pays the sales tax bill while the rich man pays the income tax is unsound; and, in any event, it is not to the Interest of California to drive wealth out of the state. Moreover, the burden of the particular in come tax bill drafted by the legis lature falls more heavily on the man with the small Income than on the man with the large income. "The plan outlined In my mes sage to the legislature would have enabled us to repair the defect, for which my administration was not responsible, and meet the fiscal obligations of the current biennium without impairing the social serv ices rendered by the state, without increasing the volume of unemployment, and without extracting an additional tax dollar, directly or indirectly, from the people of Cali fornia. RECALLS HIS PLATFORM "The public who pay the sales tax and the additional taxes ori the utilities should bear in mind that they are paying these taxes mainly in order that the gasoline tax may be spent for the construction of new roads which we could conveniently have done without for two years and that the people voted for the sales tax." The governor indicated his inclination to veto the Income tax bill several weeks ago and again publicly Thursday during an open hearing in which proponents and opponents argued the proposed new levy. More than S00 telegrams were poured into the governor's office urging that he veto the bill. Less than a dozen urged that he sign It. He said Thursday he had been elected on a platform pledged to avoid additional taxation. He said there was no immediate necessity for more taxes because the administration could and would find a way out of its financial difficulties.
