Officials of the Soviet government said today that if Japanese airplanes repeat their asserted flight of yesterday over Russian territory they will be fired upon. It was not made known, however, whether the threat was contained in the formal protest of the Russian authority lodged with the Japanese minorities.

It was declared that nine Japanese army planes flew over Russian outposts near Vladivostok. It was indicated that Russia had long expected such a flight, since Japan had been unable to obtain information on Vladivostok defenses by other means. A government spokesman denied that the flight had occurred. COST BILL OF 1 REDWOOD CITY, Nov. 6 bill of costs presented by the owners of the inoperative Ocean Shore railroad against highway district number nine for $35,664 as a result of condemnation proceedings was cut here today by Superior Judge Maxwell McNutt to $5,625.07.

The highway district, composed of San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Cruz counties, began proceedings with a view to using a strip of land 5.6 miles long comprising part of the old Ocean Shore right-of-way and property belonging to the McNee company, as part of a projected ocean shore highway. The court held the strip of land to be worth $112,000. The highway district rejected it as too high and talked of abandoning the route calling for the 5.6 miles in question, but was required by law to bear the costs of litigation. Holders of the land asked attorney's fees and Judge McNutt allowed $3,875. Their claim of $5,616 for costs was cut to $1,750.07.

Featured by a multitude of local questions, prohibition repeal today comes before the voters of six states, in what promises to be the decisive test of whether the constitution shall retain its anti-liquor provision. More than a fifth of the na- turn's population live in the six states that arc voting- on repeal Pennsylvania, Ohio, Smith Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky and Utah. Of the local issues chief attention centers on the three cornered mnyor-, al contest in New York city in which is involved whether Tammany Hall continue its domination. I Administration leaders confidence that the day's voting would signal (he end of their campaign for repeal. They viewed Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Kentucky ts virtually certain to add their vote to the 33 states which already have voted for repeal and said there was little doubt Ohio and North Carolina would do likewise.

They were less certain about Utah. The votes of only three of the states which ballot today are needed to wipe out the 18th amendment. In the 33 which have so far voted the result has been the 11.329.190 for repeal and 3,735,657 against. The New York mayoral election is regarded as having implications of importance to the administration. TO CALL ELECTION FOR USE OF WATER According to announcement made at yesterday's session the city council the administration is preparing to present to the electors of the municipality a proposition to vote to give permission for the transfer of from the city water fund to the use of establishing additional fire protection, including a new station and equipment on the cast side.

He reports some geese and swans there at present; also a number of pure white pelican. oo SIX SMS II CAST BALLOTS ONHSSUf Though there has been no great iiniount of effort to cover it up, there is no report at the sheriff's office of the deliberate knocking over of a woman in Scotts Valley a few nights ago and the fracturing of her skull. The lady was standing near the junction of the Scotts Valley highway and Fclton road when some boys, it is believed, stepped up to her and gave her a shove.

Her head in striking the ground was so badly fractured that it was split from the crown to her forehead and back to the nape of her neck. The victim of the assault was found next morning lying on the ground alongside of the road and upon investigation it was learned that she was one of the staff of Dr. Camp's Brookdale lodge. For over a year she has stood there at the Fclton road junction employed in directing traffic to the Brookdale resort, and though struck once by an automobile, had never before lost a minute's time. It is not yet known whether Dr.

Camp went over to Scotts Valley to examine the body, but it is understood that Mayor Mepro of Scotts Valley, who is a bit of a physician, declared that the body received a mortal wound the night she was struck and that there is not hope of reviving her. It may be possible, however, that Dr. Camp, more experienced than Mayor Mepro in surgery, will be able to bring her back to life. For after all she needs only a little fresh paint and her head, which is made of plaster, can per-luqs be replaced. Several weeks ago I mentioned herein thorp was a wooden Indian in front of a cigar store op-! pesite the Ferry building in San Francisco.

This was proved a mis- statement by a Sanla Cruzan later whn wnnl made a closer animation than did I and pronounced the redskin paper mache. Now I am told there is an honest-to-goodness wooden one on Powell street, below Geary. You will note that I say "I am told," that I make no rash statement on my own hook concerning the redskin's bodily material. My informer, when closely questioned on the matter, said that he was sure it was wood for he went up and tapped it. Tomorrow I may go up to the city and if I do I shall make a close inspection myself.

To some readers that may seem a trival matter Jo bring up for discussion here, but real, honest-to-goodness wooden Indians are becoming rare. There ale probably today not nearly as many wooden ones there are live, flesh and blood redskins, and certainly very .,.,..,) r. lhc. a i en ones. And the wooden ones take! on added value, for some present very fine work in the wood carving art.

To possess in one's home a fine example of the wooden Indian is the desire of many collectors. iihiuku mev iiun'Miii iiui till t.niy (l age in art as art and ages go, thev are interesting relics of the times and perhaps represent the final period in the sculpturing of the hu-l 1..

Webb ruled today that only wines and beer may be sold served or consumed in hotel dinim rooms, restaurants and clubs ol California.
