PARIS. March 26. Premier
Raymond Poincare, with his en- son ot tJalilornia riosed into the lead over resident Coolidge
tire cabinet, resigned from office as additional returns came in tonight from Tuesday's repub

care's acceptance in principle of
the president's earnest plea that
he continue to direct French pub

isterial crisis, which broke over
comparatively serene conditions.
M. Polncare'g official acceptance
of President Millerand's request
ia regarded as a foregone conclu

Tha .advice emphatically ten
dered to President Miilerand by
both M. Dougmergue and M. Peret,

personally, caused the president to
dispense with the usual consulta
tions In such cases with other
prominent statesmen and send for
M. Poincare immediately and ask
him to carry on. ' J
Defeat Minor
The defeat of the government I
in the chamber was on a question I
of minor importance. The pre-
mler himself was not present. The
vote against the government was
271 to 264, many of the votes be
ing cast by proxy.
In the conference President
Miilerand had with M. Dougmar
gue and M. Peret all agreed that
public opinion, as overwhelmingly
expressed by a great majority of
' the nress. mada it fmnossible for
any other leader to assume power
at mis siage.
The conference between the
president and the premier was
touching. M. Miilerand is reported
to have greeted M. Poincare ef
fusively as be earnestly impressed
upon him that' It was a public
duty and a matter of patriotism
that he continue his magnificent
work to HSiConctusion for France."
Deputies Stnnned
The chamber lobbies Vere in a
high state of excitement until late
in the evening although the after
noon session lasted only a few
minutes.
The majority of the deputies ap
peared stunned at, the overthrow
of the government. The opinion
advanced In parliamentary circles I
is mat M. Poincare will return to

. Johnson's majority was further
increased in the next 60 precincts
to report, his lead growing to 495
when returns from 1665 precincts
gave him 35,918 to 35,423 polled
by the president.
When 1299 precincts had re
ported on the republican senatorial
contest, the count was: McMaster,
37,957, and Sterling 28,859.
Rural returns from the central
part of the state coupled with
earlier complete reports from some
of the Johnson strongholds in the
northwestern section, brought the
senator to the front.
Watching the trend of the re
turns tonight, Johnson state lead
ers add a few more thousand
majority to the prediction of vic
tory for the Californian, declaring
he would win by a 13,000 to 15,
000 majority.
Meanwhile the Coolidge state
leaders held to their original state
ment that returns compiled by
them "indicated a CooHdn ma
jority oi 3500 to 4000."
25 Counties Complete
Twenty-five of the state's 64
counties had reported complete
unofficial returns on the republi
can presidential contest when
Johnson moved ahead of Coolidge.
Only meager returns were avail
able from several counties, but in
counties with reports deemed rep
resentative. Johnson had a lead
in 34 and Coolidge in 26. Fif
teen of the Johnson counties had
reported complete returns.
While most of the unreported
precincts are small and in the
rural districts, reported .topight
showed that attempts to predict
the final result are largely con
jecture.
This is emphasized by the fact
that neither presidential candi
date has consistently led in any ex
tensive section, aside from the
Johnson showing in the northeast
ern counties which are virtually
all completely represented. Thirty-
two counties have reported only
part of their precincts, and three
rather isolated counties have made
no report. In the 32 partially re
ported, Johnson and Coolidge each
had a lead in 16.
McAdoo Endorsed
While Senator Johnson was over

he had "teamed," has increased

WASHINGTON, March ,26.
Prediction that the revenue and
Boldier bonus bills would be re
ported to the senate by the fin
ance committee within two weeks
and that action on the measures
would be speedily forthcoming,
was made today by republican
leaders.
With the floor fight approach
ing, democrats worked over the
income tax schedule they will of
fer as a substitute for the Mellon
rates, leaders indicating some
modifications would be made in
the Garner scheme supported by
house democrats. Some Intimated
the maximum surtax rate of 4 4
per cent in the Garner plan would
be cut to 40 per cent with a gene
ral revision of the brackets to
which the various rates would ap
ply. The immediate attention of
the committee was centered again
today on the variance in estimates
as to the cost of the house soldier
bonus bill. The American legion
presented an estimate of $3,300,-
00D in comparison to the $4,850,
000,000 estimate of Joseph Mc
Coy, treasury actuary, and the es
timate of $2,119,000,000 made by
the house on the basis At a re
port of the veterans' Jureau actu
ary, H. p. Brown.
Data Is Souglit
The committee hag called upon
army and navy officials to present
data on the exact number of vet
erans entitled to the bonus of paid-
up life insurance policies and on
the average length of service of
veterans on which the actuaries
disagree.
The other main point of differ
ence between;, the actuaries-
whether the government will have
to account for interest on the
funds which it must use to pay for
the policies will be worked out
by the committee.
The committee resumed work
today on the revenue measure.
clearing up some of the remaining
administrative provisions, after
which the only other sections of
the bill, the miscellaneous tax
schedules, will be taken up. The
question whether the bonus bill
will be put ahead of the tax meas
ure as favored by some republican
members will be decided upon the
completion of hearings.
Feelings Considered
Leadersof both parties have
been quietly sounding out their
forces on the income fax rates
issue. Republicans intimate that
they have some democratic votes
for the Mellon rates, while demo
crats are counting on the support
of several of the republican in
surgents.
Senator La Follette, Wisconsin
leader of this faction, has not an
nounced his plan, but . Senator
Norrls of Nebraska and Brookhaft
of Iowa, of the group, have de
clarcd openly for retention of the
present surtax rates with a max
imum of 50 per cent, a greater re
ductlon in the normal rates than
provided for in the Mellon plan
and for "liberal" exemption.
Both senators also have declared
for re-enactment of the excess
profits tax. This is practically the
plan advanced by the republican
Insurgent group in the house.
Elroy Haines Is Guilty
Is Verdict of Jurors
Elroy Haines, of Ncwberg. was
found guilty on a statutory charge
involving Maxine McPolland. also
of Newberg. in Judge Bingham
court yesterday afternoon. The
jury was out about two hours, tak
ing the case at 2 o'clock. Sen
tence will be passed Saturday
morning. It is probable that an
appeal will be taken.
The trial has occupied the court
for the last two days and was th
outgrowth of an escapade taking
place in an old house in Marion
county near Newberg on Novem
ber 15. of last year. Another
young girl and youth were in

brought into the justice court and
the two youths were held by the

Larsisky was sitting at a table
in the Coffee Shop, on State near

served. After talking in a loud
tone of voice, he stood up, took
a few steps towards the door and
without warning, hurled the of

the large plate glass window.
"Steak too tough. Cook no
good," was his comment as he
stalked out the door.
"He hadn't paid for his steak,"
said the proprietor. "Jf it did hot
suit him, he conld have refused it.
Besides, it was not tough, only a

After pulling the movie comedy

'roposal Made to Submit
Measure for Improving
Certain Streets
North Summer street residents
and other residents situated on
paved streets that are in bad con
dition may have relief through a
bond issue which was proposed
last night at a special meeting of
the city council. On motion L. J.
Simeral, the aldermen voted to in
struct the city, attorney to prepare
an ordinance providing for sub
mitting such a proposal to the peo
ple at the special election which
will be held May 16 to vote on
fire equipment bonds.
A delegation of residents from
North Summer street appeared be
fore the council last night and
asked for relief, offering to pay
part of the cost of the replacing
or repair of the street, which is
in bad condition with the pave
ment broken up in numerous
places.
Those appearing before the
council were: Ralph Cooley, D.
W. Eyre. W. H. Lytle, Fred Ellis.
J. C. Perry and H. L. Stiff.
A committee was named to con
fer with the property owners of
North Summer street to try to de
termine just what was the best
way in which to proceed in fixing
the street.
Aldermen named on the com
mittee were L. J. Simeral, H. H.
Vandevort and Hal D. Patton.
The amount of the bonds would
be limited and would vary with
the need, according to the tenta
tive plans. Bonds would be float
ed by the council when the need
of repairing a street was appar
ent.
The special meeting of the coun
cil was to take action on the new
tariff rates proposed by the Street
Railway company. The city attor
ney was directed to prepare a for
mal and official protest to the pub
lic service commission against the
new rates.
