icating Liquor Under Bill
Agreed Upon

vide that physicians may obtain five

tions in most particulars, and also
clarifies the law with regard to dis

ally.

After passage, however, Rep. Jack
son, author of the bill, said that 1t
was found it took in too much ter
ritory, repeating other laws that it
was not desired to repeal. He asked
! that the bill be >re-referred to COM

Arrangement Before /

On fugitive complaint charging
him with having robbed the post
office at Rusk. Texas, in September
1921, Willie J. Adams alias w. j.

the police indicate. that the defendant
is also wanted for safe robberieS az
Fort Worth and Timpson. Following
the investigation by federal officials,
a complaint was filed here by Postof-
flee Inspector X. NJ. Organ.
What is believed to have been s
daring attempt Of Adams TO Escape
while held a prisoner in the city Jail
was frustrated by Jailer Rudolph En-
glehardt last Friday afternoon. The
rasping sound OF steel against steel
reached the ears of the jailor. Inves-
tigation resulted in the finding Of a
hack saw in the cell occupied by
Adams.
Ii was not until Monday morning,
however. that the nearness Of the o.
cape was discovered when Taller En-.
glehardt found that two of the steel
bars at the top of the cell had been
completely severed. Detectives are con-
fidPnt that the saw was taken into the
cell and was not slipped to the priS-
oner by an. outsider. Since his arrest
Adams has been alone in cell.

Special Cable TO The San Antonio Light

~ Copyright. 1898.
London. Sept. Binder the head
ing. Boycott Italy" the British labor
daily, The Daily Herald. urges that
immediate and drastic pressure be
brought to bear upon the Italians BY
every member of the League Of Ma
tons.
This action, according to the Daily
Herald is imperative in view Of Pre-
mier Mussolini's refusal to permit,
league intervention in its controversy
with Greece.
IF the covenant is enforced, nj
Briton will eat in an Italian restau-
rant, no tourist will spend money in.
Italy. and all business with Italian
firms will be suspended" says the
labor paper.
The uncompromising attitude Of the
labor press is fully reflected in
speeches prepared for delivery at the
Great Trades Union Congress opening
today in Plymouth. where 200 dele,
gates are gathered representing 4,OOO,-
600 British workers.
While the labor view Of Italy's ac-,
ton is colored largely by socialist hs-
tired for fascismo, it is but slightly
more antagonistic than the viewp@nr
Of the conservative press. which holds
Italy strictly accountable to the
League of Nations for her wsrlike
acts. The liberal Manchester Guard,
ian declares the league has no alterns-
tive but TO face its responsibility de-
spite Premier Mussolini's ironiesl as
sertion that occupation Of Corfu.
Paxos and Antips1os was not 4 war
like act.
IL the capture of Corfu was not
war-like act, The Guardian declares.
then the Greeks might demand from
Italy an indemnity of loo, 000, 900 lire,
following the example of the Italian
government in demanding J0,OCS.
lire for the five murdered members Of
the Albanian delimitation commits
sion. Three times as many Greeks
were killed during the bombariment
Of Corfu. The Guardian points out.
Lord Curzon. arriving in London.
uttered clearly his belief in the neces-
sity for league Intervention.
