 WORKER LEGAL ADVISER OF PROHIBITION DIRECTOR REGISTERS A
 STRONG PROTEST

SAN FRANCISCO, Apr. 24-Echoes of the Wm J. Gloria resignation are still shaking official San Francisco to the foundations. Gloria who resigned as legal adviser to Samuel F. Rutter federal prohibition director for Cali fornia, as protest against alleged 'roughhouse" methods of prohibition agents, and for Rutter's failure to punish agents guilty of offenses, said today that While believe in the en forcement of the liquor laws 1 quit the prohibition office because 1 am not in accord with the strong-arm methods countenanced by the present administration.
 'I do not believe in methods of en- forcement of the prohibition laws which violate the sanctity of woman hood and the rights of citizenship
 The phrase violating the sanctity of wOmanhood," is said to refer to alleged violence by prohibition agents in arresting women charged with vio- lating the Volstead Act, and whom the agents assert put up a stronger battle for liberty than the men.

MISSING CRIMINAL IS ALMOST CAPTURED

ATHENS, Ga, Apr. 24.-With his feet propped against brass rail be- side the boiler in the basement of the hospital from which he was thought to have escaped on Wednesday night of last week, Gerald Chapman, leader in the million dollar mail robbery in New York 31 months ago was nearly captured today by Harry Bishop, a guard from the Atlanta prison.
 Bishop, in giving attention to Miss Scott, a nurse, who accompanied him when the discovery was made, and thereupon tainted, told Chapman to return to his room. A few minutes later, when he had revived the nurse Chapman had vanished and could not be found.
 Chapman escaped from his room on Wednesday night in suit of ciothes belonging to his guard. He was re- covering from gunshot wounds recelv- cd when captured near here last week after sensational escape from the Atlanta prison.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Apr. 24.-Echoes of the mixup in the Board of Educa- tion over the election of Commission CT of Education L. D. Henderson, were heard in the Senate this morn ing when Senator Dunn introduced a bill providing for referendum on the question of whether the Commission CT of Education's office should be made elective and filled by popular vote of the people, or continued under the present system. The referendum will be submitted at the next general election.

 The Senate passed the Dunn reso- lution directing the Attorney General to continue the transportation inves- tigation and also the bill empowering Indian villages to incorporate with all the powers of a second class town.
 The prospects of the passage of the Woman's Jury Bill were frightened by apparent indications that the Con- foranco cormittoo u,;u ho oh1o to agree on the sex exemption clause in the bill. The House instructed it's committee to ask for an amendment allowing exemption if desired on ac- count of sex, provided the claim for twenty days before the time set for jurors to appear in court.
 Callahan, who has been a member of the Conference committee since he was first appointed, withdrew when the House so instructed declaring he was elected as an independent and would not be bound by instructions from either democrats or republicans.
 The House was this morning con- siderably upset when Representative Decker from the Second division. de- nOunced as unfair, unjust and un- kind' remarks made by Representa- tives Daly and Price in minority Judiciary Committee report on Deck

Nomens Jury Bill May Yet Be Passed By The Legislature
Decker'S Denouncement In
 Lower House Caused Uproar

CTS bill proposing the repeal of the Syndicalist Act of 1919. Decker nov ed that the House expunge the objec- tionable statements from the record. Decker and Murray reported the bill for passage, Price and Daily, non-con- curing, said the reason for their non- concurrence was because they were unalterably opposed to a change or overthrow of the government by force or violence or the destruction of prop emy or advocacy of such means"
 They added further, '9The people of Alaska do not care to proclaim to the world the advocacy of such damnable doctrines" ..-..
 Representative Decker said the statements implied that he favored such doctrines, and said further since he introduced the bill it had been ru- mored on the streets that he was an anarchist and an I. w. w., and was connected with the Centralia disOr- ders on ArmiStice Day, 1919, all Of which he denied emphatically.
 He said the members of the com mittee making the adverse report had no right to bring in such statements unless they first ascertained the views of the author Both Daily and Price denied they had intended to imply undue motives to Representative Decker, Daily adding that he was only following the custom of former legis- latures. He said he was not concern ed with the views of the author of the measure, but with the measure it. self.
 Representative Price declared he was strangly against the bill and wanted to state his position in the re- port sufficiently strong to impress the members with the necessity of think ing before introducing bills in the House which might be taken as evil dences of disloyalty.
 By vote of thirteen to three, the members voted to expunge the obnox- ious statements from the records; Daly, Ralston and Price voting against the motion.

at some time, presumably in a short
time, an object of charity, that it is
cenSurable for a man connected with
mercantile establishment to build
himself a good home in Winslow, that
he is equally to be condemned for
building one somewhere else, that
any person, railroad employee or
otherwise, is entitled to criticism, or
at least is liable to criticism, when
he invests his money in WinsIow
property for income purposes, tho
it seems to be allowable for him to
invest in home here should he be
willing to take the risk of almost
certain depreciation in value, that for
some reason he intimates is bound to
follow the purchase of a home A
deplorable state Of affairs surely, if
these were really the facts.
1t is not necessary for me or any
one else to go to the trouble of re-
futing these charges in fact it would
be a reflection on the intelligence of
the community to attempt it. The
prices charged in Winslow compare
favOrably with those charged else
where under similar conditions. the
same rules govern property invest
ments in WinslOw as elsewhere, and
the merchants are probably no worse,
and no better than they are in other
localities, tho they may have more
to contend with than merchants To-
Gated at points not infected with the
COmstock ideas. To those who look
at things as he does I have nothing
further to say than that the field is
open, we merchants are ready to ex-
tend the glad hand of fellowship,
there is no high license for merchan-
dising in Arizona, get in the 30O96
over legitimate profit game, and then
if you have the courage of your con-
victions cut out this extra profit.
This surely should be an attractive
proposition, for reduction of this
kind would not only bring to you a
share of the business, but all of it.
This whole TRADE of Mr. Comstoc1
The Winslow mail., 1923-04-20

suggests and leads up to the one
question, and that is-why is a mer-
chant anyway? And the answer is
While this demand continues and he
continues to give service that the
public cosiders worth while, he is an
essential part of the community,
when he ceases to function on these
lines, the public will very quickly
dispense with him and his services.
There is no need for men of Mr..
COmstock's type to get excited. The
Darwin theory, the survival of the
fittest, is in the final analysis fully
as effective in the industrial world
as in the operations of Nature at
large.
I have no personal feeling what
ever against Mr.. COmstock tho, as an
Oldtime WinslOW resident, [ do sim
cerely regret the PRONUNCIATION of
ideas such as he seems to be obessed
with. AT the best we have very poor
civic cooperation in Winslow, and
the whole town suffers in cOnSe-
quence. There are many potential
possibilities for WinslOw besides that
of a railroad division point, which is
it's greatest asset at present, tho in
vestigation of shipments received in
the town in any one month will read
lily show that even in his assertion
that the business of the town is ex-
clusively railroad, Mr. Comstock runs
true to form for inaccuracy.- There is
even now a large and profitable bust
ness handled by the Winslow mer-
chants which has no further connec-
tion with the railroad than the fact
that the goods are shipped over it.
That this business is not larger is
not wholly the fault of the merchants
Un-American theories, misapprehen-
sions, lack Of cooperation, and mis-
leading statements, have something
to do with it.
Sincerely yours,
VIM. H. DAGG.

Editor Winslow Mail,

Dear Mr. Editor;
In your issue of April 18th, you
publish a letter signed E. E. Com
stock under the caption-'Will the
merchants answer? Advertising tells
the tale, and thus manage to pass
the buck" as usual to the merchants,
the goats of the community in more
ways than one. That they are in this
case is rather clear from the fact
that you personally come in for a
fair share of Mr.. Comstock's S criticism
thro the intimation that you were
bought over to express yourself in
favor of buying at home by the bust
ness men who advertise in your
paper, and to this as we'll as the other
charges you expect the merchants to
reply, yet this seems to me to be the
only charge entitled to reply, and
you, Mr.. Editor, the one to make it.
Analysing his letter Mr.. Comstock
makes some pretty broad assertions
but does not take the trouble to es-
tablish them as facts. Summarized,
they would appear to be in as far as
| can follow thom. That the mer-
chants of Winslow enjoy some con-
cession from somewhere enabling
them in a special way to exploit the
railroad worker that said railroad
worker pays from 1000 to 5000 more
for his purchases in Winslow than
he should pay, that if a railroadman
is foolish enough to buy his supplies
in this town he inevitably becomes
