But ali four persons who saw or heard the mysterious stranger just before Wanderwell was felled by a shot tin- back, and who heard Guy repeat the mans words under similar circumstances today, refused to Identify him "positively.

LEE BOGGS Napas Laading Insurance Man, it xcluaiv agent for Travalera ar Aetna Fire Insurance Com- panics, COMPLETE Text of Latest Stimson Note to Brrtrsh Made Public by Ambassador French Note Tendered to Claudel; New Plan by Britain Is Suggested -WASHINGTON, 8 (UP). gecretary of state stimson has told Great Britain, in effect, that since American proposals for e- I t'ecting the December 15 war debt I payment are unacceptable to Brit- ain. the British government Is at liberty to formulate a method for itself.

Congress, Stimson has assured England, will be glad to consider such a proposal. But, of course, the payment must be made. Those points came to light tonight when the text of the note Stimson handed British Ambassador Sir Ronald Lindsay last night, was made public. Hope for revision of the debt agreement was held out. Stimson said that he welcomed Britains suggestion of a "close examination of the subject of debts.

But he added the warning: Such an examination does not imply cancellation. Almost at the time the reply to Great Britain was made public. Secretary Stimson handed to French Ambassador Paul Claudel a reply to the French note on wai debts received a few days ago. It was not made public. ARGUMENTS REFUTED The secretary said the United States did not sponsor or approve the Lausanne reparations settle ment.

He denied that the "war' debt represented money spent en tirely for shot and shell. He ques tioned that the debts were the hea fest brake on international business recovery. These were arguments advanced by the British or debt revision. Stimsons note revealed that since British rejected President Hoovers idea for payment without immediate transfer a blocked account the State department has suggested other plans. They, too, were turned down by London.

So recalling, Stimson added: "Recognizing difficulties of effecting transfer, I am confident that the Congress will willing to consider any reasonable suggestion made by your government which will facilitate payment of the sum due December 15. The note was in the hands of the British before Prime Minister MacDonald announced in Paris today that Great Britain will pay December 15. The American note dealt but briefly with the December payment. Its first concern was the argument advanced by London that debts shou'd be revised: 1. Because of the economic depression.

2. Because the allies had cancelled German reparations allegedly with Americas approval. 3. Because payment was rendered impossible bv Americas tariff policies. COOPERATION ASSURED Stimson admitted that the depression had affected the debt structure.

"The president of the United States is prepared, through whatever agency may seem appropriate, in cooperation with the British government, to survey the entire situation and to consider what means may be taken to bring about the restoration of stable currencies and exchange, the revival of trade and the recovery of prices. "I welcome the suggestion contained in the note of your government of a close examination between the United States and Great Britain on the whole subject in preparation for the International economic conference, for I believe that there are important avenues of mutnal advantage which should be thoroughly explored.

One of the tricks is for the promoters to buy UP stock in a defunct brewery, increase capitalization and then unload the stock on the "investors. Sid says there are only 164 breweries in the entire country ready for operation. If you buv stock be sure it is the right We are all Interested in reducing governmental expenses. Heres what Sid read in the Lakepon Press of Lake county: "How to lty: "How to cut the expense of government One sugges- tion would have this county com- bined with others. That Is the half attached to Mendocino county, the south half to Napa.

There is economy in that plan no fooling. It is radical. People are not yet ready for that. Another suggestion is the cutting of the number of supervisors from five to three. The county to be divided jf-Jnto three districts one supervisor from each district but the entire eounty to vote on each supervisor.

That is conservative but will meet with plenty opposition from the politicians. "Be careful with fire when theres a can of gasoline sitting nearby.

8 (UP). Teh bonus bill came back today to plague the peace of congressmen. Rep. Wright Patman, Texas, whose bill for Issuance of approximately 12,000,000,000 In new currency to pay the veterans bonus passed the House last session, only to be defeated in the Senate, brought It up again. An Increase in the amount of currency in circulation is necessary, he said, to give "the 126,000,000 people in the United States enough money to carry on the usual routine of business.

Ever since the struggle in Congress last session, the bonus has been regarded as one of the most controversial of legislative issues.

Presto! Mr. Emmanuel Celler, oon9ressman from New York City, produced the highballs and in produced bottles. He drew five of th8m frQm them'rinmprovis baTfo'e 1 the dubious eyes of the committee. A shaft of sunlight tickled the bev. erage to a tempting glow.

Some in the mmittee licked I10'1 bl1s anl prepared for another that the ')0it'ed highballs were made up I the federal prohibition bureau 10 parts gingerale and one part prohibition him to "transport1 liquor. Mr. Celler employed his properties to drive home his argument that his highballs, ranging from 9 to 14 per rent alcoholic content, are no more "intoxicating that the wine which is authorised in the Collier hill before the committee, and therefore should be legalized. lie produced an assortment of figures in attempting to prove Americans are a hard drinking race, hut that 90 per cent of them mix their drinks with something else. Celler had more figures to show that the "bottled highball would produce $600,009 000 annually' in good dollars IVr the American treasury nearly- three times as much, he said, as would both heer and wine.

There were 164,000,000 gallons of spirituous liquors consumed last year, he shouted. No one challenged the bootleg flood. Mr. Celler then proved hinu-elf a gentleman of ideas. This highball concoction, he said, should be taken with meals to carry out the theory- of Professor Henderson that a moderate amount of liquor so taken, would not cause intoxication.

Gentlemen, put a provision In your law to compel people to drink these highballs with their meals, Dr. Celler pleaded. Policemen for breakfast, policemen for lunch, policemen for dinner, too someone wrispred. But Mr. Celler was serious- He insisted upon being taken seriously, even to waving his arms a bit.

I represent nobody in this matter. I represent no company, he concluded. LEAVES BOTTLES The congressman left his bottles with Eugene Fly, committee secretary. The Henderson-Celler drama was not premeditated, but merely coincidence. It was "hard liquor day- before the committee.

Both men received third degree burns about the fuee, head, chest, arms and hands, it was reported by the attending physician. According to reports, the men were tiaveilng about the country in a truck on which was mounted a whitewashing outfit.

The gasoline exploded, throwing the burning liquid over the two men and the tent, which was burned to the ground. Members of the Yountville fire department were summoned and gave first aid to the two men, who were brought in the Treadway ambulance to the Victory- hospital in Napa where two local physicians were summoned and treated them for third degree burns.

A deal whereby the state purchased recently a 1721-acre tract in Solano county from Andrew E. Mahoney, former San Francisco police commissioner under James Rolph for $72,000, was under criticism here yesterday. The critics claimed that when Mahoney's property was financially on the rocks, the state fish and game commission acted with only tw-o members to purchase the 1721-acre tract in Solano county and convert it into the Joice Island refuge.

One of the commissions members, it was pointed out, was I. Zellerbach, said to be interested with Mahoney in Dreamland auditorium here. Mahoneys property was selected from more than half a dozen other sites offered, and after the game and refuge advisory committee had recommended the Williamson and Howell tract on the northern end of Grizzly Island. John 1 Farley, executive of the commission, explained the switch by saying Mahoney cut his prloe materially after the Williamson and Howell tract had been favored. He said the advisory committee is composed of seven representatives of sportsmens and conservation group.
