AGENTS SENT
FROM FRISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 16-Ten spe-
cial agents Of the Federal prohibition
enforcement division were today en- route
to "Movieland." They were sent on .di-
rect orders of Special Attorney General
Robert H Mccormack, who ordered a
complete investigation of conditions In
Hollywood. home OF the movies, and other
motion picture centers around Los An
geles.
Z. Forrest Mitchell, State enforcement
agent is already In Los Angeles and II
is believed the orders of Mccormack were
issued following advice from him on con-
ditions disclosed.
District Attorney Brady turned over
at a conference with the Federal prose-
cutor all the evidence he had obtained
with reference to the use of liquor at
Arbuckle's gay hotel party here.
1t vas reported here that this evidence
indicated something like forty quarts of
whisky and a case of gin were consumed
In the three days that the Arbuckle party
lasted. Mccormack would not discuss
the issue Federal prohibition officers
are expected to hold that at least a part
Of this liquor was brought TO San Fran
cisco from Los Angeles in Arbuckle's
specially built automobile In which he
made the trip. Should this be substan-
tated Federal officers said the S25 600
car would be seized By the Government.
mo matter how high the investigs-
ton reaches, spare no one" Mccormack
told his agents. THE guilty must be
punished. The conditions must be so
changed that ANOTHER Fatty Arbuckle
orgy will be rendered impossible. Such
orgies are a disgrace to the whole coun-
try. Once and for all they must be
stopped
An indication that orders had come
from Washington for thorough clean
up OF TIE whole situation was seen not
only in McCormack's activity but also in
the fact that John Bxnieios, field agent Of
the Rockies for the national prohibition
commissioner, is also on his way to Los
Angeles to head flying squadron.

The Los Angeles authorities seeking to unravel the Kennedy murder needed shotgun link in the chain of evidence One shotgun to fit in with the known fact that Kennedy had been killed with shotgun of IF gauge hunted for and found. Now another of the gauge has been discovered in the same vicinity and consequently those who ferreting out this crime are perplexed. They must either get rid of of these and against the discovery of more 12 ga- shotguns else revise the theory of the murder that 1t was com mitted by man. and undertake to prove that Kennedy met his death before firing squad.

BLUE LAWS AT THE EQUATOR

devise a plan whereby he would be deprived of a rum allowance on any one day out of the seven. At that. they are not very severe, merely cutting off the rum supply and for bidding any kind of work. There is no report made of compulsory at
 tendance at any sort of religious gathering on the Sabbath.
 Blue law agitators in the United States would carry the system much beyond the simple code in effect in the Gilbert Islands. The ameiiorat- ing effect of a rum allowance is inn possible now in this country, and when the agitation for blue laws was at it's height in the states. not many months ago, it was proposed to so far beyond anything which ever existed before. even in the Puritan days in New England. Operation of auto- mobiles was to be forbidden on Sum- days, attendance at church was to be compelled, and a host of other strin- gent rules applied.
 Naturally any such program as this was bound to fail It was sponsored for the most part by fanatical crowd endowed with only a sparce 1 amount of reasoning power. The | more intelligent of the reformers ! realized that the enactment and en- | forcement of such rules would tend greatly toward bringing about a re- action in public sentiment, which might tend to sweep away not only | the Sunday blue laws, but the recent great accomplishment of the reform element. the dry amendment to the Constitution. On that account the movement failed to get much support, i or r4 oh to fa nf fro
 l One Result of . Blue Law Even today. though, there are rigid l blue laws in existence in parts of the I United States, some of which are en- ! forced to the letter of the law. The
 country was shocked about a year | ago when in a little community on
 the Eastern Shore of Maryland, a l rather inaccessible spot on the penin- sula between Chesapeake Bay and
 the Atlantic ocean, a law enforce ment officer shot a boy who violated
 one of the indigo laws. The case
 finally got into the newspapers. and
 pages were devoted to the exposition
 of what had happened.
 It seems that there is rule in eff feet in the community that everyone
 beyond tender years must attend
 church. or remain within their owr
 houses during the hours set aside fol | religious exercises. This boy wa.
 sent to the druggists by his father doing the errand on Sunday morning at the time that church services wer' |, under way. When he returned tn, boy stayed outside of his father house, hut within his yard. sittint , on the porch. He was admonishe, |, by a law enforcement officer. wh, , presumeb did not have to go t, church, and shot in the leg by thi
 man.
 When news of the affair reache, , other communities it caused a grea furore in the newspapers for a time : but the thing dragged along and a , the little Maryland community wa , hard to reach by wires or in an,
 other way, the case soon dropped ou of the news, and the final outcome | . still a mystery. At the time the loca minister, certain Reverend MT , Wodwin, was interviewed, but side , stepped giving any hard and fas , opinion as to whether the shootinl ! was justified. At that time h

ON COMING DOWN

 He also told the budget makers that there doubt less would be many heart burnings before they got through
 He added, "Our country is calling for change and if it will add to your interest in your work let me tell you something else The world is watching this we'll resolved experiment.
 "It is no violation of confidence to tell you that of the distinguished diplomats in Washington at this time told me that his country had already cabed him to keep close watch every step of our budget enterprise and report to his country.
 q take it that perhaps habits and practices of ex- trayagance in governmental expenditures are not peculiar to the United States and the whole world would like to profit by our example" The President is right. The whole world is now at the most painful and difficult task which beses poor humanity, the task of Coming Down.
 The business of Going Up, of adopting more pensve mode of lfe of moving into larger house, of getting servants and wearing finer clothes, IS pleasant enough. Most of us undertake it gayly.
 But cutting down expenses is very much like pull ing teeth.
