MANY POLICE CHIEFS FAVOR
 FEDERAL LAWS TO REGULATE
 SALE AND USE OF FIREARMS

frame statutes working toward this end.
 "The strictest regulations should be enacted against persons who carry concealed weapons. If arms, the tools of the criminal trade, were inn possible to procure, present crime waves would be reduced to an inconse- quential minimum"
 Philip T. Smith, Chief of Police, New Haven, Connecticut: q would like to see the government pass a law which would make it a felony, subject to heavy fine and i'm prisonment, for unauthorized persons to have firearms in their possession. Passage of such a measure is of para mount importance in coping with crime"
 James Patrick, Chief of Police, San Diego:
 Laws prohibiting everyone from carrying firearms should be passed by both State and Federal governments. Hold-ups by amateurs and ordinary crimes would then be entirely done away with"
 Daniel J. OBrien, Chief of Police, San Francisco:
 "A heavy tax on firearms and the framing of an exorbitant tariff on inn ported weapons are badly needed in America today to cope with crime. Persons convicted of robbery with guns should receive heavy prison sen tences.
 NEED STRINGENT LAWS
 Municipal ordinances regulating the sale of arms are entirely made quate. We need and should have stringent State and Federal laws on this subject"
 | August VolImer, Chief of Police, Berkeley, and president of the Inter- national Association of Chiefs of Police:
 "If criminals did not possess fire arms police would not be obliged to carry guns. Make it impossible to procure guns and one-half of today's crime will be entirely done away with.
 "The situation is so serious today that stringent regulation by the Fed eral government, in cooperation with , State authorities, is necessary, be- cause of the prevalence of gun play crimes"
 James T. Drew, chief of police, Oakland:
 Crime could not continue without guns. The logical thing to do would be to make it impossible for anyone to secure gun without permit from the proper authorities.
 "Each state should have a complete record of all guns sold and should re- quire purchasers to have permit. The law-abding citizen does not need gun, anyway"
 w. P Rutledge, superintendent of Police, Detroit:
 Forbid everyone to have firearms, and do away with all but an incense quential percentage of crime. Sale of guns should be strictly regulated by the Federal government"

THREE-MASTER
STRIPPED BY STORM
Reaches Nantucket Sound and Calls for
Help-Keeps Three Miles
OF Shore

CHATHAM, Mass Dec 30.-A three
masted schooner stripped of her sails by
storm except for a few rags and tatters
that served as better signals of her dis
tress than the colors which flew in the
rigging upside down, anchored in Nan
tucket Sound today, three miles off
shore. Apparently a victim of the biz
Yard Thursday night, the vessel seemed
partly full of water and in need of imme-
date help.
Capt Robert Ellis ordered the coast
guards of the Afonomey Point station to
the schooner, which was anchored on the
leeward side of Shovels of Snow. The
wind was blowing from the north, about
35 miles an hour.
The schooner was a sorry picture
from shore. What was left of her jibs
hung in tatters under her bow; her
larger sails were gone, and only a tr~-
sail and part of the foresail were spread
10 the wind when she came in from sea
this morning to her anchorage.

Coast Guards Watch for VhisEey.

PROVNCETOWN, Mass, Dec. 30
With the Yarmouth, y. s., schooner
Annie L. Spindler wrecked on Race
Point yesterday while running rum, still
fast aground, the beaches Of this end of
Cape Cod were doubly patrolled today.
The coast guards, whose vigilance saved
the lives of Capt. Dennie Amero and his
crew, We're supplemented by scores of
persons from this and other cape towns
TO whom the sight of a wreck alone was
no new thing. But the prospect Of hav-
ing some of the 600 cases of whiskey
which the Spindler's manifest showed
she carried come washing ashore, was
the subject of keen observation.
The schooner, a three master which,
according to her paners, was bound from
St. Pierre to Nassau, is n wreck beyond
possibility of salvage, it was said. How
much Of her cargo remains aboard il not
certain. The coast guard officials saw
the matter is not one that they can dis
cuss. Captain Amero said he found 1t
necessary to throw most of it overheard
during the storm Thursday night, which
blew the schooner on this coast.

TEN.FOOT ALLIGATOR.
Killed ut Orange, Texas, After Being a
Pest to Cattle Raisers.

Fest 10 cattle haiSerS.
An alligator that measured 10 feet
four inches. furnished the river front
attractions in Orange recently. The
gator was killed opposite the Weaver
4 Son shipyard, where he fought against
odds for 80 minutes with r. Goodman
and Roy Belair. The men used A.
calibre revolver until they were near
enough to the saurian to strike him with
an axe which severed his backbone and
rendered him p0werless to fight.
\ shotgun fred at close range had but
little or no effect on the alligator. The
boiler-like hide would turn the buckshot
as though they were mustard seed.
The misfortune of being one-eyed con-
tributed to the end of the big gator that
had terrorized the hogs. cattle, sheep
md goats on either side of the Sabine
river for years. Many times these river
men took advantage of the semi-blind-
ness of the marsh king and administered
some kind of a blow until be was finally
although he made good use
Of every opportunity to administer a
broadside at the skif in which the men
rode as they carried on the 3O-minutes'
warfare.
Stockmen on both sides of the river
said that this powerful animal had made
numerous raids on the young calves,
pigs, sheep and goats. They declared
that the killing of the monster alligator
would be worth thousands of dollars To
them.-San Antonio Express.
