MIX BEER AND VODKA;

Two Russians Get Into Trouble
but Escape After Diff
cult Explanation

As the result OF mixing American
beer and Russian vodka at Slavonian
club in ord street, members of the local
Russian colony, attired in all the col
ors of the rainbow, packed Justice
Summerfield's court almost to suffo-
cation yesterday to hear the prelimin-
ary examination of the two young men,
Martin Kristovich and Louis Valentine,
charged sby the formers uncle, John
Lopizich, president of the International
Savings and Exchange bank, and Paul
Vupotrtch, proprietor of Russian so
cial club, with attempting to hold them
up the night of April 2.
Justice Summerfield, after a brief but
tedious examination. because of the in
ability of witnesses to speak good Eng
lish and the lack of several interpreters
to translate the great variety of Rus
sian dialects, discharged the defendants
with a warning not to mix the two
favorite beverages of the nations
again."
Testimony of witnesses developed the
fact that they were in an intoxicated
condition when they met the banker
and his friend and had asked the latter

around saloons. He answered price"

followed it with a resounding slap on
Valentines face. His action resulted in
a wrestling match. The banker fled
and found a policeman. The case had
attracted considerable attention among
the Russians, and a demonstration fol-
lowed the prisoners discharge.

That university who go out into the

the view expressed by the Rev. Hugh Black

Uncle Sam began yesterday to find
how many of us there are, what color
and nationality we boast of, what
we do for our daily bread and other
facts of personal nature. 1t is his
custom to back us into a tight place
every ten years and make us confess
all. Yesterday he had 236 census emu
merators with their thumb in our but
tonholes and a questioning lombard
ment for our broadside. 1t was the
first day of the thirteenth census TAX
ing.
In addition to the United States EMU
merators who began their work yes
terday there were also 125 interrogation
soldiers in the field employed in TAX
ing the annual state school census
The two sets are working entirely in
dependent.
The government census takers are
under the direction of Bert l.. Far
mer, supervisor in this district, COM
prising all of Los Angeles county
The school census men are directed by
Harry c. Miller; formerly the chief
deputy of Mr.. Farmer, who has taken
tie school census. in this city for many
years.
The sch oil census this year will cover
more than the city of Los Angeles. A
number of annexed towns will be sub
jected to the questioning of the school
census takers. The Shoestring district,
-ollywood, Arlington Heights and
other districts in the Los Angeles
school district territory, extending as
far as Sawtelle and the Soldiers home
in one direction and almost as far as
Redonda in another, will have to tell
it all to the school census men.
An effort made several weeks ago to
make some arrangement by which the
two enumerations might be taken to-
gether was a failure, for the reason
that the statistics required are diff
ferent. The results of the census taken
by the state will be made public in a
few weeks, while that of the govern
ment will not be known until some
time next fall.
Conferences were held by the in
spectors with the enumerators last
night to see If they had been conduct
ing their campaign along the right
lines 1t requires a lot of nerve" 1t
is said, to be as inquisitive as is re-
quired of the enumerators, even when
backed by a government card and
badge. Until the men have hardened
their sensibilities until they can stand
on the doorstep and inquire into fam
ily affairs for hours, if necessary, they
will be administered a tonic in the
form of encouragement from those
above them, who have had experience.
The census takers this year expect
less trouble in getting persons to ans
wer the questions necessary than they
have ever had before. The newspapers
and various civic organizations have
been instructing the public for some
time that it is purely matter of bust
ness with the census eccumulator, that
he can cause no trouble with his in
formation and that he will not tell"
