SHERIFFS ON DUTY
Are Using Show of Force to Keep Back Auto Tourists in California Enforcing Quarantine.

Fl Centro. Cal, April 1S.--Addi- tional deputy sheriffs were being sent from here today to preserve order at Kolb, California, the desert point 50 miles east. where nearly 500 automo- bile tourists have been prevented from crossing the Colorado river into Ari- zona in accordance with that states embargo on yehicular traffic from California.
 Tales of hardship among the
 stranded motorists continued 10 em- phasize the gravity of the situation.
 Last night an appeal for aid was telegraphed to Governor Richardson of California on behalf of the tourists,
 many of whom are said to be prac- tically without funds and growing desperate over the possibility of a long and costly wait before being al- lowed to cross the state line. In ad- dition the food shortage and the diff ficulty of obtaining water are said to be growing more acute daily.

l 1928 MEAT CONSUMPTION :.
 SHOWS LARGE INCREASE
Peak Figure of IS, ,4Sf ,000 Pounds Was
 Reached During the Past Year, According to Experts.

Chicago. April 1S.11Government fig ures showing that record was estab. lished in 1923 for production and consumption of meat. so far as. total poundage is concerned, are included in a report made public today by Howard Leonard, chairman of the National Livestock and Meat Board, to it's members.
 MT. Leonard said the consumption of meat reached peak figure of 1S,- 4S1,000 pounds last year. The figures show that only once since federal meat inspection was established in 1907, has consumption of meat per capita exceeded that of 1923," he con- tinued. Tn 1908, 1t was 170.9 pounds as compared with 1870 pounds last year. During the last decade or two, however, our population has been increasing at the rate of more than a million q year, with the result that to- tai consumption has increased greatly since 1908, although consumption per capita is less than it was in that year.
 'The meat consumption last year represented an increase of more than 2,00o, 100000 pounds over the aver age of the last five years. ApproXi- mately ninety per cent. of this in- crease was shown to be in pork, at tributed to record production of hogs"
 The consumption of meat in the United States last year was dicided as follows: beef, 6,91S.000,0 900 pounds: veal, s73,000,0o0 pounds: lamb and mutton, 574,o00,ooo pounds: pork. 10,- 11s,00o,0O0 pounds; goat, S.000,o0O pounds.
 "A big drop in meat exports was experienced following the world war, but 1923 came back with 969.000,000 pounds of meat exported, which was an increase of 226.O0o,0oo pounds over 1922" MT, Leonard added. "About 9S4,000,0bo pounds of this amount was pork. Germany being one of the leading purchasers of this type Of meat. Germany was also our largest buyer of lard, the total exports Of which broke all record"

SMITH BOOM FOR
 1a WHITE HOUSE ON
His Friends Wasing Active Cam. k paign for Nomination

The Al Smith flor r-president boon is gathering momentum.
 The governor will enter the lists al the democratic convention here ir June, his friends believe, as prob ably the most formidable candidate for the presidential nomination. On the first ballot McAdoo alone is ex- pected to have more votes. The Smith packers think that while the strength of the former secretary Of the treasury may wane considerably as the hours pass, that of Governor Smith is bound to gain impetus as other fayorite sons fade out of the picture.
 Tammany Hall is confident that Charles +. Murphy's name will be handed down to posterity as the Wig Wam's first president-maker. Smiths board of strategy has for months been working on plan of tactical operations. Now that the governor is an ayowed candidate. his sponsors intend to waste no time in waging an effective campaign.
 Will Be Nation Wide.
 
 This will be nationwide in scope. It will not consist of speech making or any of the other common instru- ments of political warfare designed to appeal to the sympathies of the average voter. That will come later. It will be devoted in a major meas ure to conferences of the great chief tains of the party. If Governor Smith wins the nomination. his yic- tory will. 1t is believed. be based on enc of two things:
 By popular exclamation of the delegates. urged on by the cheering galleries, the strains of "The Side- walks of New York" and the other assets which are Smiths as a result of the convention being held in this city.
 The result of secret negotiations of the thres or four most prominent democratic leaders and the managers of the other candidates.
 Governor Smith himself is conf- dent he will be nominated and elect cd. He has not said so publicly. but his advisers know his optimism is unlimited. It is said that Murphy holds the same view. The more con- Servative Tammany men say that on the first ballot the governor will have more than three hundred votes: others believe four hundred will be the likely figure. Trailing him, they declare, will be Underwood. Ralston. Cox and a dozen or more favorite sons.
 Count on 9s6 at Start.
 McAdoo and Ralston are the can- didates Tammany fears most. AL though Murphy does not believe McAdoo can possibly beat the field, he can hold throughout the ballot- ing the 365 votes which would pre- vent a nomination due to the two- thirds vote. he would te in position 10 name the winner. And McAdoo is an impiacable foe of Fourteenth street. Raiston, despite his age. is mentioned more than any one else as . compromise candidate.
 Among the delegations which the Smith forces are counting on from the first are New York. 90: Illinois. 5s; New Jersey. IS; Wisconsin. 26; Connecticut, 1l, and Rhode Island, 10. total of 7ss. There are 1,osa
