SARONI CO. DEMANDS
ARCH BRIDGE BE BUILT

The Saronia Company, who agreed
to stand half the expense of building
a concrete bridge over the canal in
Hoye canyon, gave notice to the COM
missioners that they would not stand
any OF the expense of building the
bridge if the canal was obstructed
with a pier as decided upon by the
board. The reason for the objection
of the Saroni company was based up
on the belief that the pier would OBJ
struct the flow of water and debris
might cause break in the canal.
The commissioners decided to have an
arch bridge built.

REQUESTS MAYORS
 TO HELP ENFORCE LAW

T would respectfully request that you instruct the police departments and police officers in your city to en- deavor to ascertain the names of all persons violating the provisions Of said act, (the national prohibition en- forcement act), and to report the facts to me with necessary affidavit in order that warrants may be issued for the arrest of said persons, also ln order that action in equity may be taken to have the places designated as a common and public nuisance is the gist of a letter sent to mayors of the state by Internal Revenue Col lector James J. Walsh, prohibition en- forcement officer for this state.
 ~Where, however" continued the officer, the offenders are of the "fiy- by-night variety with no fixed loca- tioS, as for instance bootleggers and peddlers of liquor travelling from place to place, the officers should inn mediately apprehend said offenders and 1 be notified to that effect"
 The communication from Mr Walsh explained the national prohibition act
 T have large force e deputies now engaged in various parts of the state seeking violators," asserted MT. Walsh, adding, "as you well know. it will be almost impossible for my of ficers to apprehend all violators."

U. s. PROTESTS ARREST OF
 CONSULAR AGENT JENKINS

Washington. Nov. 17-Convineed of the innocence of William o. Jenkins, American consular agent at Puebla, Mexico, of the charge that he connived with Frederic Cordova. the rebel who kidnapped him, the state department has made strong representations to the Mexican government against Jen- kins' arrest. It was said that in- formation already at hand justified the presumption that Jenkins was innocent.
 State department officials regard the charges that Jenkins connived with his abductofs as highly improbable in view of the rumor current in Mexico City that the eighteen peons upon whose testimony the arrest was predi- oated hy the state authorities of Puebla had been threatened with death unless they testified against Jenkins. The peons were said to have heen held incommunicado by the police au- thoPities.
 According to Mexican newspapers Judge France, of Puebla, examined Jenkins before declaring that in his opinion it was a genuine case of kid mapping. The secretary of state of the state of Puebla, however. suhse- quently ordered the police activities which resulted in the arrest of the OeonS

CITY MISSION NEEDS $f75
 FOR THANKSGIVING SEASON

It is expected that next week the school children will contribute their usual gifts of fruits. vegetables, deli cacies and cash to the Thanksgiving feasts of the City Mission families.
 It is hoped that friends of the Mis- sion who have formerly given money to purchase meats, tea, coffee and sugar and to provide for the gathering and distributing of the goods, will con tinue their gifts this year also. The expenses of the same will approximate $175.
 It is the desire of the Mission that these special Thanksgiving receipts should equal the disbursements, year by year, so that the general treas ury need not be drawn upon Of recent years the disbursements have in creased beyond the receipts.
 Contributions may be sent either to the treasurer 3So Washington street, or to the Mission rooms at No. g.
 Aside from this Thanksgiving mat ter, the urgent need just now is for a second hand mattress for sick man, which, if located, will be called for.

Try This If You
 Have Dandruf

There is one sure way that never fails to remove dandruff completely and that is to dissolve it. This destroys it entirely. To do this. just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to noisten the scal9 and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 By morning. most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone. and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have.
 You will find. too. that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop in stantly, and your hair will be fluffy. lustrous, glossy. silky and soft. and look and feel hundred times better.
 You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This. sim pie remedy has never been known to fail

New York. Nov. 7.-Ludwig c. A. K. Martens, ambassador of the Rus sian soviet republic plotted in Ger many and Switzerland with Nikolai Lenine and Leon Trotsly for the over4 throw of the Russian imperial govern ment, he testified here today. He was deperted from Russia after serving three years Imprisonment for his rev olutionary activities,
 "The Russian revolution was my life Martens declared in telling the joint legislative committee investigat- ing radical activities in this state the story of his relations with the Rus sian Bolsheviki. He appeared before the committee under arrest for con- tempt after having refused Saturday to submit to examination or to sup ply correspondence with his govern son and his papers were entitled to diplomatic immunity.
 The tale of the plot against the Roma eoffs, which covered many years, was brought out by questions put to Martens by Deputy Attorney General Berger.
 At the time of his arrest in Rus sia he was a student at the Tech nology Institute in St. Petersburg where he studied engineering. It was early in the 9o's~ he said, he became associated with Russian student bodies and became interested in Marxian so- cialistic theories.
 Lenine was a member of the same student body and both were impris- oned for their activities in behalf oi
 Russian workers. he said. Lenine was exiled to Siberia and Martens him. self deDorted. to Germany after serv- ing three years in jail.
 He testified he was one of the lead
 CTS of the revolution in Russia in 1905 and 1906 and directed propaganda l from Berlin for the overthrow of the czar government. MT. Berger brooght out this testimony in an ef- 1 fort to show that the collapse of the Russian government was the result ol a German plot.
