tie regulations of the prohibition bu-
reau enforcing the Daugherty ruling
that American ships cannot carry

He announced today tnat he would
eliminate the prohibition provision
calling for the seizure and forfeiture
of American and foreign ships that
violate the ruling.
As written and submitted to Mellon.
the regulations, which will be issued
early this afternoon, stated that Amer
lean ships carrying liquor anywhere
and foreign ships bringing it within
the three mile limit would be ''sub'
ject' y TO forfeiture.
Mellon, on reading that provision
for the first time this morning, dc.
clarcd it would have to be changed be-
fore the notice went out. He said he
did not know what penalty, if any,
would be substituted but that the
liquor would be seized and not the
ships themselves.
The regulations to be issued today
win be supplemented later by more de-
tailed regulations, in which all ques'
tions raised by enforcement of the at
torney generals recent ruling will be
worked out.

Mellon said today that foreign ships
sailing for the United States on or be-
fore October "a, carrying liquor, will
: be allowed to take it back TO their
home port. Regarding the wine ration
served on Italian and French ships, he
said the Daughcrty ruling would make
such wine mess illegal within the
three mile limit, but added that the
question Of seizure of wine carried as
part of the crews rations would have
TO be gone into more thoroughly. lie
first said it might be construed as
coming under mcdicinaf liquor, but
later reversed his decision.

MILK AND BREAD
INCREASE PRICE;
CLAIM HIGH COST
Milk To Be Is Cents For
Quart; Bread Is Cents
For Loaf Here

Increase in the price of milk and
bread in FL Centre beginning next week
has been announced by bakeries and
milk distributing concerns of this city,
who declare that the cost of labor
and other essentials force the increase
on them to remain in business
Milk will advance II cents to IA
cents per quart, while bread will jump
from the present price of l3 cents for
a "a ounce loaf to Is cents. This an
nouncement follows the failure of one
large bakery and the stopping of home
delivery by one of the largest creamcr-
les of the city.
The Sanitary Bakery and National
Breadery announces that beginning
Monday, October IS, the price of bread
will advance from Is to Is cents Il
loaf. This advance has been found
necessary, according to the bakers, as
labor and material costs are higher in
Imperial Valley than elsewhere and
freight charges on raw materials in
crease the cost, making it impossible
to operate AT profit under the pre-
sent selling price. The bakers point
to the fact that only this week the
largest bakery in Imperial Valley was
forced TO suspend operations due to
financial losses in trying to sell its
product at the prevailing price. They
state that tho, same condition is III
evitable for them unless the price is
raised aud claim that the bread sold in

WASHINGTON, Get. 12.--With the
congressional elcctior less than month
away, party leaders are finding cause
for dissatisfaction Ill surveys of the
political situation the country over
Political unrest, so much heard of
in recent months, has been transferred
from the people to the politicians IN
stead of being politically restless, the
people who have the votes seem to be
at rest.
A vast inertia appears to grip them.
And in Washington some of the more
intelligent politicians have begun to
wonder whether they haven't ovcrdone
their efforts to sooth and quiet the
restivc electorate.
For the fact most apparent here is
that in most parts of the country the
people do not seem to give Vhoop
who is elected to congress. sharp
falling off from the 1920 vote is in-
dicated in reports to headquarters here,
The one thing both men and women
voters do seem interested i'll is the
domestic or local issue. In some states
this is the wet and dry issue; else
where, it is n labor problem. The wom'
en- particularly arc showing keen in
terest in these home issues, but none
at all in the broader national questions
In eXtensiveness of organization, the
Republicans so far this year are fai
ahead of their Democratic rivals. The
Republicans agree shat the best way
to stem the threatened progressive
sweep was to take the prOgressive'
into the Republican camp and organize
all their followers into one camp. Thi'
has been done wherever possible. The
danger seems to have been converted
in large measure, into a victory for thu
party regulars.

the Mexican, Jesus 'Flores, was work
ing for another Hindoo on the c. NJ.
ranch, and the charge that the kill

the fatal fight, Flores and another
Mexican camc in from the field, look.

premises of Bahma, ostcnsibly waiting
for their boss. At about one p. III.
Bahma returned from a trip to town,
! and found Flores in his house, to
which he had gained entrance by
tearing out a window screen.
, On being discovered, Flores threat
cned Bahma with knife, and then
made his exit from the building
through the same window through
which he had made entry. Bahma
picked up club, and with this as
leverage, demanded that Flores, who
was attempting to escape, remain on
| the premises until he, Bahma, could
communicate with the police. Flores,
however, picked up some rocks and
threw them at Bahma, woundinG him,
later picked up an iron pipe and at
tempted TO strike Bahma with it.
Bahma, however, managed to take the
pipe away from Flores, and on fur

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct l2.--SoIne
400 passengers and crew OF the pala-

afloat today on the traekless waters
of the Pacific in flimsv life boats,
while thev watched the burning OF the
giant ship.
At 10 a. IN. the following radiogfaln,

believed rushing to the rescue.
True to traditions of the sea, captain
H. r. Lester, well known ut every port
on the Pacific, had stood by his ship
and with him were:
First Officer William r.. Brust; the
chief engineer and the radio operator.
It was believed that they would remain,

san FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.-Som
three hundred men, women and
children rode a placid, 1andless sea,
400 miles off the coast of Mexico
today in open boats-helpless, most
of them, in another of the great
dramas of the sea.
They were the men and women
and children who were aboard the
5000 ton liner City of Honolulu
when, at $3.50 a. m. today, the
alarm of fire spread terror through
the ship.
Less than five hours later they
had been ordered oversides in small
boats, to stand by and watch burn
the palatial ship, on which, the
night before, they had dined and
danced till midnight.
AS the hours wore on they wait
ed; saw the flames eating away
at their ship, and wondered when
help would come.
The Yacht Caeiana, private float
r ing palace of ! Edward Doheny,
noted oil magnate, came near
during the morning and saw the
little group of lifeboats, lowering
at safe distance from the burning
vessel.
1t flashed the word to radio sta
tions ashore that GAN hands were
safe and the sea cas- placid as
Il lake
1t picked up word that the
frcighter Enterprise, the army
transpore Thomas and the freight
er West Farallone were racing
against time to the rescue--with
perhaps the Thomas leading the
race and due after midnight to-
night.
But the drama of it all was being
plaved by unseen, ,rufvst unknown
forces of the air. The radio was
flashing the word from the open
wastes of the Pacific to the main
land, directing the movements OF
rescue ships and helping in giving
succor.
Without the radio the fate of
these people would have been to
ride in the Pacific, hundreds OF
miles from the nearest land, FOOD
and water scarce, until some
chance wayfarer Of the sea passed
bv, and saved them.
