TUCKER REPEAL
BILL PASSED BY
80 TO s. VOTE
Goes to Senate for
Approval Next
Week

to Make Repeal
Effective
By United Press Leased Wire


MADISON, Wis, June 75.-The
Tucker dry repeal bill was given
final passage by the lower house
of the Wisconsin legislature today
and messaged to thes enate for con-
sideration next week. The bill
would repeal all state regulations Of
the sale Of liquor. The vote was
SO to 35.
The Tucker bill was passed with
out debate.
Dry leaders are counting on the
senate to kill the measure and there
was no speaking for or against it.
The bill was approved last week
on it's first vote by AZ to 43.
II. G. Tucker, Milwaukee social
ist, assemblyman, advocating it
stated the outspoken intention OF
hackers to nullify prohibition in Wis
consin. The upper house has killed
all the "wet' measures advanced
this session.
The only hope of the vets is that
the referendum amendment propOs-
ed by Senator Schuman may influ-
tnce the dry senators to let the pro-
posal be decided by the people.
Schuman s idea is to provide that
the prohibition law repeal shall not
be effective until ratified at gen
erl election.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Dan-

confirmed the statement by the
United Press yesterday that the
country's railroads would present a
two fold solution of their own for
the transportation problem to Off
set both the administration s con-

service than ever before in the ma
tions' history.

charged anywhere else in the world.
Personally I am quite confident
Willard wrote, "that if the tran
sportation act of 1920 is left in its
present form for a reasonable per-
iod the railroads will be sufficient
ly able to overcome the difficulties
brought about by the war.
Car Shortage Over

since, has practically disappeared
and the efforts which the railroads
are making to put their existing

will enable them to meet the trans

generally satisfactory.
1.-THE labor problem also seems
to be in process of adjustment.
He said that though rates are now
actually higher than in 1914, they
are relatively lower. Living costs
are from 60 to Ga per cent higher

DEEPEN MYSTERY
Fail to Identify Men
Arrested Here as
Ones Wanted
Sine Located in L. A.
Hospital, Still
Unconscious

Several new angles develonPd
today in the mysterious case of p.
F. West and James Bennett, who
were arrested by Sheriff Gillett
last Monday, for speeding on the
Calexico highway, and which later
proved to be connected with a ease
in Banning and Los Angeles, III
which a man known as Sine was
brought to Banning hospital in
an unconscious condition, and later
taken from the hospital by :wo
men
West and Bennett were taken to
Banning yesterday by Undersheriff
Bert underwood and Deputy
Sheriff Oswalt, in an effort to
identify them as the men who re-
moved Sine from the hospital. The
hospital authorities could not iden-
tify them as having any connection
with the case and the Imperial
County Officers returned here with
their men late last night. This
morning, James Casey, third man
who was with Bennett and West at
the time of their arrest, and a
man named Sharp, went to a CaleX-
leo garage in which the ear the
men came to the valley in from Los
Angeles, was stored under the jur-
isdiction of the district attorneys
office, and tried to get the pro
prietor to release it to them. They
were later arrested by the Calexico
police.
Issue Writ for Bennett
A writ of habeas corpus, was is
sued this morning from Judge
iConklin S court, orH,ring Sheriff
Gillett to produce the body of Ben
nett in court for a hearing on June
IS, application having been made
by f. L. Miller through Attorney
Leslie Reed of Calexico. Before
the writ was issued, however,
Sheriff Gillett had departed for
Riverside with Bennett, West,
Casey and Sharp, in an effort to
clear up the mystery which has
surrounded the entire case from
the beginning.
o1ilC III ~. "a 4AOopACtl
While in Banning yesterday, I'm
derwood and Oswalt were informed
that Sine has been located in the
Golden Gate Hospital at Los Ange-
les, still in an unconscious condi-
tion. Bennett and West claimed
that Sine fell out of the ear on the
way from Los Angeles, but the hos.
pital authorities at Banniny deny
this, stating there was no dirt or
dust on the man s clothes, as would
have been the case if he had fallen
from a car, and his condition gave
every appearance that he had been
severely beaten.
That something unlawful is at
the bottom of the case is the frank
statement of the Imperial County
officers, but just what it is, they
are unable to say. The men in Gus
tody have told conflicting and un-
satisfactory stories as to their re-
lation to Sine and the sheriffs of
flee hopes that the puzzle can be
solved by the Riverside officials
today.
