A—2 x» GARNER IS LEADING CALIFORNIA VOTING Holds 32,000 Margin, With| Roosevelt Ahead of Smith by 30,000. (Continued From First Page.) the Wilson administration and son-in- law of the late President, and by Wil- llam Randolph Hearst. His strength apparently has come principally from the dry section of Southern California. Involved in the campaign was political leadership in the State. McAdoo has sought to stage a ‘“comeback” and it is said that he plans himself to make 8 bid for the Democratic senatorial nomination in the primary next August Senator Shortridge, Republican, is up for renomination apd re-election this year. Smith Carries San Francisco. Smith made a strong run in San Prancisco. The completed returns from that city showed Smith with 29.- 339 votes, Roosevelt 17,615 and Garner 10,997. Roosevelt followers here today sald that if the race had lain between the New York Governor and Speaker Gar- ner, Roosevelt womld have much the betfer of it, for the Northern Demo- crats who went to Smith would not have supported Garner but would have turned to Roosevelt. Smith’s entry into the contest, they insisted. was for the purpose preventing Roosevelt from winning rather than with any real hope of victory for himself. It was admitted by the Roosevelt people that a failure to carry California will make the fight harder for their candidate. They said that if Roosevelt should in the end be found to have the California delegation by outdistancing| Garner and Smith in the final and complete returns, they had no doubt he would be nominated on the first ballot, and that the opposition would largely collapse. But with Roosevelt losing California, 1t was clear that favorite son candidates would become encouraged, believing that the chances for a deadlock on the early ballots of the convention would force a compromise, with both Roosevelt and Smith out of the picture. This, it was said, might make it more diffi- cult for Roosevelt to win the nomina- tion. In the end, however, the Roose- velt supporters insisted, their candidate would be the choice of the Chicago con=- vention. They look for him to go into the convention with more than a ma- Jority of the delegates supporting him. 400 Roosevelt Delegates Seen. Already the Roosevelt followers sald more than 400 delegates have been chosen who are instructed, pledged or favorable to th nomination of the New York Governor. They are counting on many more delegates for Roosevelt in the primaries and State conventions to be held this month and the first part of June. With such a large block of delegates, Roosevelt is bound to be a dominating figure in the Democratic national con- i vention. He is not “stopped” yet, in the opinfon of neutral observers, although the chances of nominating him on the first ballot are not so bright as they ; seemed to be before the California and Massachusetts primaries. Opponents of the nomination of Gov. Roosevelt among the Democrats were Jubilant today because of the lead that Speaker Garner rolled up in the California primary. They said em- H gehxumuy that they believed it would impossible for Roosevelt to obtain { & two-thirds vote for the presidential nomination in the national convention. Vote on Referendum Measures. In Oalifornia the voters were called | upon to express themselves on two ref- endum measures. The first, which ap- ! parently has been defeated, proposed control of the State's ofl resources by & commission which would regulate pro- duction and storage. The count in 7,- 179 precincts was 832,205 against and 236,190 for it. The second measure : would prohibit the leasing of State- owned tide lands for oil and mineral development, seemed headed for adopt- tion, the vote being 591,931 for and 407,534 against it The vote on these meaures helped, it was said, to get out the Republican vote in the presidential primary. The regis- tration for the whole State was ap- proximately 1,400,000 Republicans and 850,000 Democrats. LOS ANGELES MAYOR WINS RECALL FIGHT John C. Porter Has Large Majority in Attempt to Oust Him From Office. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, May 4 —Mayor John ©.

EXCHANGE TOLIST “PUTS AND GALLS Daily Reports to Be Made to Prepare for Senate Mar- ket Inquiry. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 4.—Members of the New York Stock Exchange were today ‘requestéd by the Business Conduct Com- mittee of the exchange to furnish a list | of all “puts and calls” issued or en- dorsed by the members. A list is to be submitted dally until further notice. While the exchange did not disclose its purpose in seeking: this information, 1t was in brokerage circles that it was merely a move on the part of the exchange to be prepared to meet any line of ing that may be followed when the Senate Banking and Currency Committee resumes its hearings on the stock exchange. “Puts and calls” represent contract options on the buying and selling side of stocks. The interest of brokers in these options is largely as an endorser of the contracts made by customers. The operation works this way: The holder of a stock wishes to protect himself against a decline and does so by buying a “put” against his holdings, giving him the right to deliver his holdings to the seller of the “put” at # specified time, usually 30 days. Thus if the stock breaks 50 points, before the “put” expires, the holder is privi- leged to deliver it to the maker of the “put” at the fixed . The “call” works in the opposite way, being an option to assume owner- ship of a stock at a specified price above the market. The holder of the deliver his holdings to the buyer at a fixed price within the life of the “call,” and if the market rises above that figure, the difference represents the “call” buyer's profit.

Declaring the Department of Justice is faced with necessity of dismissing 818 employes under the present 1933 departmental appropriation bill as whittled down by both House and Senate, Attorney General Mitchell today put forward a program of four principal points, including a “partial moratorium on criminal prosecutions™ as means to enable the department to proceed “without crippling the services, costing the Government more money than is saved by the cut, and without wholesale discharge of employes.” The Attorney General's proposal was set forth in a letter to Chairman Oliver of the House Subcommittee on Appropriations for the Department of Justice. Mr. Mitchell explained that the discharge of 818 employes would result in a “loss to the Treasury and not a saving.” The discharge of these employes he estimated on a basis of no reduction m the rate of pay and that the fur- lough plan of requiring all employes to take 30 days' leave of absence without Ply is not adopted. He favored the urlough plan. Special Authority Desired. “Congress should pass a statute” Mitchell explained, “giving the Attorney General express authority in his dis- cretion to refrain from prosecution of offenses against Federal statutes when- ever the same act constitutes an offense against State law, and the case is one where the State authorities could and properly should undertake the prose- cution. In the absence of any repeal of any of the myriad of Federal crimi- nal statutes, we are obliged to en- force,” he explained, “a partial mora- torium of this kind on criminal prosecu- tions is the only thing I can suggest. ‘We have now pending in Congress a bill for such authority in the case of juve- nile delinquents.” Department officials said in response to questioning that this new proposal would embrace pro- hibition cases in states having prohi- bition laws. Pointing cut that in the defense of civil suits against the Government where the claimants are insisting on trials, “we cannot obtain continuances and postponement, and with an inade- quate force we must go to trial with insufficient preparation and with dis- astrous results,” the Attorney General suggested & means for obtaining con- tinuances. He suggested a statute should be enacted “requiring judges of all Federal Courts in which are pend- ing civil suits against the Government to grant continuances and adjournments at the request of Government counsel whenever a certificate is filed that, through lack of adequate appropriations for witnesses and investigators or per- sonnel, the department has been unable % prepare adequately the defense.” Shifting Plan Suggested. As a final suggestion the Attorney General proposed that a clause should be put in the appropriation act per- mitting the Attorney General to shift, not to exceed 15 per cent of any item to some other item in the appropriation. With respect to civil suits, to which the Government is a party, Mr. Mitchell pointed out that it was plain “that any diminution in our efforts to recover moneys due the Government means & loss to the Treasury. Recoveries in money by the activity of the Depart- | ment of Justice in civil suits, the Attor- ney General said had increased from g;‘lsmoo ir 1916, to $17,666,000 in In another class of cases, the de- fense of civil sults against the Gov- ernment, it was pointed out that “any diminution in our activity means larger and more numerous judgments against the Government and further drafts on the Treasury.” If personnel is reduced as proposed, the Attorney General said, “we would have to discharge among others, 50 assistant United States attorne, 17 lawyers at the seat of Government, and 27 speclal assistants.

WARTINE MNERAL SUT IS ARGLED Atlanta Concern Charges Wil- bur Arbitrarily Limited Interest Payments. Arguments were in progress this aft- | ernoon before District Supreme Court Justice Jesse C. Adkins to compel Sec- retary of the Interior Wilbur to obey an order of the court requiring him to hear and determine the amount of interest due the Chestetes Pyrites & Chemical Co. of Atlanta on obligations made by the company in an effort to mine pyrites for the benefit of the Government during the World War. Through Attorneys Edgar Watkins and Marion Smith of Atlanta, the claim was made that Wilbur has arbitrarily limited the court's order by fixing March 2, 1819, as the limit for interest payments and has refused to pay obli- gations incurred and interest on money borrowed, although the obligations were incurred prior to November, 1918, and were existing prior to March 2, 1919, and still continue to run. ‘The plaintiff pointed out that it has been seeking for 10 years to recover its losses, and the record discloses that the case had proceeded on the theory there was no such limitation as is now sought to be set up by Wilbur. Through Assistant Attorney General Nebeker, E C. Finney, solicitor of the Interior Department, and his assistants, O. H. Graves and V. H. Wallace, Secre- tary Wilbur denies any intention to dis- obey the court's order. He declares he has carried out the decision of the United States Supreme Court by pay- ing the company $44.451.45, represent- ing all accrued interest on defendant’s obligations up to March 2, 1919, and asserts that the previous payments of $693,313.79 made it possible to the com- pany to discharge its interest-bearing obligations in full. e company answered that the pay- ment of $44,451.45 was accepted by it only on account.

CHICAGO, May 4 (#)—“Scarface” Al Capone is finally on his way to prison—a place he has been avoiding most of his life. Capone, the king of Chicago gangland, was placed on a train for the Federal Penitentiary in Atlanta last night. A 10-year term faces him for failing to pay income taxes on the huge profits he is reputed to have made from his illicit businesses in Chicagr In addi- tion he is under a one-year jail sen- tence and & $50,000 fine for the same offense. Vain to the last minute, the gang chief, impeccably attired in dark blue overcoat and broad-| ed white hat, smiled broadly when he took his fare- well to Chicago, and deoiared he was glad to be on his n;‘. The sullen mood he is reported to have assumed the day previous when the SBupreme Court refused to intervene in his sentence was gone. Left at 10:30 O'Clock. Capone was started for Atlanta in a special Pullman promptly at 10:30 p.m. (central standard time), entering the car with Victor Morici, alleged auto- mobile thief, who is en route to Tampa, Fla, to strand trial. As the flashlights of newspaper pho- tographers boomed and sound news reel cameras were cranked, Capone smiled for the pictures, making no attempt to cover his face as some gangsters have | done before going to prison. His train is due in Atlanta at 6:30 o'clock tonight, with stops scheduled at Nashville and Chattanoogs, Tenn.

Not Allowed Baggage. The police were armed and ready to prevent any disorder. Just before leaving the marshal's automobile at the station Capone’s van- ity asserted itself again. Noticing a small crowd gathered to see him off he asked Marshal Laubenheimer to fix his hands s0 no handcuffs would show. His sleeve w2s pulled down, and the cuffs to which he was fastened to Morici were not visible as the two prisoners were taken aboard the Pullman. Capone made all his plans for his! farewell early in the day. His mother, Mrs, Teresa Capone; his wife Mae, his son Alphonse, jr, 12; his sister, Mrs. Mafalda Maritote, and a younger | brother, Mathew, bade him goodby in his_cell.
