Variety Creets
New Year int.
Dry Agents Busy
Broadway Exceptionally Dry
100 Arrests Made-Fash-
able St. Louis Hotel
Scene of Riot.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-Father Time
looked on unperturbably and the new
baby of 1923 may have blinked per-
pleXedly at what they saw as the
nation welcomed the new year. The
view was one of variety-prohibitio
aridity In many places. oases in 9TH
ers, but generally perhaps, with a few
hilarious exceptions. a somewhat deco
rous but happy reception of the new
accession.
Some of the outstanding features of
the year year celebration as reported
from many cities We're:
Broadway Is Dry.
Broadway. a proverbially torrential
canyon, was dried up by prohibition
agents and the New York police, who
made 100 or more arrests. A fist fight
enlivened a raid at one place.
A squad of prohibition agents and
police were chased out of the Hotel
Chase. fashionable ST. Louis hotel.
by celebrators. one Of whom, woman.
chung to a policeman's collar as riot
calls summoned police reserves. No
arrests were lllduc there, dltHOuSu
two men were slightly wounded and
woman injured. although a dozen
arrests We're made elsewhere in that
city.
Prohibition agents at San Francisco
were arrested by a policeman and
summoned to court for violating a
traffic ordinance, although the city's
celebration was characterized as one
Of the sanest in years. but noisy.
Chicago Is Muddy.
Chicago celebrated hilariously in
time honored style, although church
services and family and neighborhood
parties probably outnumbererd the
noisier and moist celebrations in
which hotel and cafe proprietors est-
mated at least n half million dollars
We're tossed away. A few raids and
arrests We're made by police and pro-
hibition agents. 1t was generally
agreed that the dusty New Years pre-
dicted by dry agents had been a
muddy one.
The reports of the celebration from
the viewpoints of aridity, moisture
and winds. seemed to leave New York
as somewhat lone metropolis of
quiet and dryness.

Hiding Place
of Mrs. Phillips
Is Discovered
Cabin in Lonely Canyon Near
Los Angeles Was Occu-
pied by Hammer MUIR
deress' Four Days.

Los Angeles. Jan. 1.-Discovery of
"a cabin in a lonely canyon near
Los Angeles. where Mrs. Clara
Phillips, hammer murderess," who
escaped from the Los Angeles county
Jail December 5, concealed herself
for at least four days after the Jail
break, was announced at the sheriffs
Office tonight.
The statement was made that Ar
mour Lee Phillips. husband of the
convicted murderess, was known to
have purchased food at grocery near
the cabin for four days after his
wife's escape" and that another man.
whose identity has not been learned,
delivered the food at the cabin.
The officers declined to name the
exact location Of the cabin. but de-
clared their investigations proved it
had been occupied recently.
First Real Clue.
They said this discovery offered
them the first real clue TO the
whereabouts of Mrs. Phillips and that
it would be followed by an intensified
ellOII lO locdlt ilti.
Among their first steps. it was
stated, would be a requestioning of
Phillips, who would be asked to ex-
plain his alleged purchases of food.
and to name the man who made the
deliveries. After that. all persons liv-
ing in the vicinity of the cabin are
to be questioned.
According to Frank Dewer, deputy
sheriff, Phillips appeared at the
grocery on four consecutive days inn
mediately after his wife's escape, paid
for a supply of food, ordered that
some of it be cooked and told the
proprietor another man would call for
ii later.
Second Man Used.
Toward evening, the second man
would arrive, obtain the food and
hurry away.
The officers said they did not be.
lieve Mrs. Phillips remained in the
cabin more than four days, as the
purchases of food at the grocery
ceased after that period, and it would
have been dangerous for her to ap-
pear in public to obtain supplies in
person. They said they believed she
was transported by friends to an
other state or Mexico.
Phillips recently announced plans
to return to his former home in Hous-
ton, Tex, but is believed still to be
in or near Los Angeles, officers said.

thorough investigation. reported to

Are Sought
by Industry
Farmers Join With Big Busi-
ness in Effort To Relieve
Present Shortage of
Common Labor.
100000 Increase Sought

Washington, Jan. 1.-The big indus
tries of the country and farm organi-
cations have joined hands in deter
mined drive to procure such relaxa-
tion of the immigration restriction
law as will relieve the present short
age of common labor.
With the backing of the senators
and representatives of the leading in
dustrial and agricultural states, a con-
certed effort will be made to obtain
legislation at this session of congress
which will operate to admit probably
not less than 100, ,000 aliens in excess
of the number Of immigrants coming
in under the per cent quota law.
The house committee on immigra-
tion will give a hearing next Thurs.
day to n committee of the National
Manufacturers association which will
propose three major notifications of
the present restriction law. The plan
was worked out in consultation with
agricultural leaders and its essential
features We're approved at the recent
meeting of the American Farm Bu-
reau federation in Chicago.
Plan Made Public.
The recommendations of the manu-
facturers' committee made public to.
day follow:
81. That in fixing the quota of
each nationality of otherwise admis-
sible aliens under the present law
due regard should be given to the
ascertained annual emigration from
the United States of persons of such
nationality.
"2. That the secretary of labor
shall be authorized upon the presenta-
tion TO him of satisfactory evidence
Of continuing shortage of labor of
a particular class or type to admit
otherwise admissible aliens in excess
of the quota until in his judgment
such condition is improved.
"3. That provision shall be made
for physical examination of aliens at
ports Of embarkation or where their
passports are vised. except that such
requirement shall be waived upon as
surances of another government that
satisfactory examination has been
made
Labor Is Opposed.
This move will be resisted stub
bornly by organized labor on the
ground that increased immigration of
foreign labor will result in lowering
of wages. Mr.. Gompers contends that
there would be no labor shortage if
wages permitting an American stand
ard of living were paid for unskilled
labor by industries from which the
native-born have been driven by
alien competition.
The cabinet is divided on the pro-
posal. Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon favors it. while Secretary of
Labor Davis has withheld his ap-
proval. In his recent message to
congress, President Harding frowned
on lifting the immigration bars. but
proposed instead the establishment of
selective examination of intending i'm
migrants abroad.
