POLICE AND FIRE
LADS DRAW FOR
VACATION DAYS
10 Men on Force and 20 in
Department AT Ease
Year Round,

As the month of June approaches
and the cooler weather is on the
wane, the general public is again
confronted with that perpIexing
question of when, where, how long
and how much, while thinking of
vacations.
Not so, however, with the local fire
and police departments, for when
the month of nuptials arrives they
have completed nearly half of their
vacation time.
Although the schedule in use by
both departments is practically the
same, the fire department has TWEEN
ty-four fifteen-day vacation periods.
while the police department has
twenty-three.
The last fifteen days in December
is the police departments vacation
from vacations.
Fifteen Of at a Time
An average Of fifteen men are on
vacations in the police department
all the time while the fire fighters
have approximately twenty "at
ease"
During the latter part Of the year
slips numbering from one to twenty
three or made out and the drawing
begins. In the sealed envelopes
there are placed numerous slips
bearing the number 1, a equal
amount of number rs, 9's and etc.
A man drawing number one will
have to take the first fifteen day
period in January, the man drawing
the number two will take the latter
half. etc.
The same system Of drawing is
employed by the fire department.
Wow! Thirty Days in a Row
Old-timers at police headquarters
recall instances where a policeman
had just completed his vacation on
the fifteenth of December and then
after the drawing for the new year
obtained the first fifteen days in
January for his vacation in the com
ing year. One officer who some time
ago left the force due to a severe
attack of politicalitis had the dis
tinction Of obtaining the first half
Of July for six successive times.
Other Old-timers say that they have
had their vacations in nearly every
month of the year. but that what
difference did it make, "a vacation
is a vacation, no matter when It
comes"

Negro Chauffeur Injures 2; Wrecks Truck By
 Fast Driving

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S.-Police making drive to end traffic deaths here added to their exhibits of evidence today cabinet officers automobile which, in a dash down Connecticut avenue, sent two men to hospitals, demolished a truck load of building material which got in its path and left wake of broken automobile parts and crushed curbinS.
 The car, a roadster, was listed as belonging to Secretary Mellon, but he was not in it. Arthur E. Sixsmith, secretary to Mir. Mellon, was passen- ger and Sixsmith's chauffeur, a negro, was held by the police. Eye witnesses declared a crowd surrounded the car when 1t finally came to halt and that cries of lynch him" were shouted at the driver. The crowd became greatly incensed, it was said when the negro chauffeur, in reply to question said:
 Sure, I was going about 45 miles an hour. What of it? Everybody goes fast over this bridge, (The Connecticut avenue bridge). Sixsmith later went to his office, and meanwhile lawyers ap- peared at police headquarters for the negro's defense.
 Really, they seem to be making a lot of fuss over nothing" Sixsmith said in response to telephone inquiries. '"There wasn't mucn damage done two men were only slightly hurt, be- lieve."
 The roadster was going at such a speed, it was stated, that it's engine roared like an approaching piece of fire apparatus. When it finally struck a curb, it carried IA feet of the stone with it,

FIGHT STAGED BY ALABAMIANS
 AT FARM MEET
Mrs. Mathis Finally Is Recognized Over Mrs.
 EdmOndsOn
(By Associated Press. ]

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Nov. Is. A contest over the seating of delegates from Alabama enlivened the opening session of the twentieth annual conven- tion of Farmers Educational and Co., Operative union of America today.
 Two sets of delegates presented claims before the credentials committee, one headed by Mrs. w. B. EdmOndson, of Decatur; the other headed by Mrs. G. H. Mathis, of Gadsden. The comE!ittee declined to recognize either delegation on the grounds of failure to pay dues. Both sets of delegates maintained the dues have been paid.
 The contest was taken to the floor of the convention and after an execu- tive session tonight it was announced Mrs. Edmondson's claims had been refused and that Mrs. Mathis would be seated.
 Organization Divided
 Trouble of local nature in the Ala bama organization divided 1t into two factions, it was explained, and the state convention which elected Mrs. Edmond son was declared illegal by national of ficers on the ground that unauthorized delegates had participated. A later convention elected Mrs. Mathis.
 More than POO delegates from twenty five states attended today's sessions and heard President Charles s. Barrett, of Union City, Ga, deliver his annual ad- dress. He told of the national program of legislation which the union has spon- sored during the past year and reported favorably on the condition of co-opera- tive stores and industrial enterprises established by the union in all parts ot the country. Governor Trapp and Mayor Cargill delivered welcoming ad- dresses.
 Claims $40, O,OOO, 900 900 Lost
 For four years the farmers of the country have suffered cruelty and sus- tained losses which can only be absOred in their capital account but they are now coming out of the depression, Presi- dent Barrett declared in his annual address. A S4O,OOO, 100000 loss was suffered by agriculture since 1920-21 and in a single year 100000 farming people were driven from their homes and forced to take refuge in the city, he said. Those facts constitute the real reason for the exodus from the farm, and explain why, he said, many state and county off cials have found it so difficult to col lect taxes during the last four years and why there have been so many fore closures.
 Tt is clear that in some manner our federal government has been to blame, !" MT. Barrett asserted. Tt dismantled its war production machinery without making provision for readjustments but it encouraged farmers to continue their maximum efforts of production, even into the croD of 1920. Then came the fear at Washington or inflated tend encies. That was followed by drastic depression policy insugurated by the federal reserve board, Then the crash came. On top of this came the raising of freight rates for which the federal government was responsible and which put farmers of the middle west at a great disadvantage by forcing them to pay peak prices to transport products whose value had shrunken alarmingly.

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-Leaving in its path mounting toll of death and disaster the great gale, which for AS hours held the Atlantic seaboard in icy grip, appeared today to have swept out to sea.
 Ten known dead, many missing, huge property losses to shipping and whole sale damages ashore, was the toll in this section.
 Today, while, life saving agencies were mobilized to search the seas for missing craft and missing men, the wind abated. Weather forecasters predicted milder temperatures with possible rain or snow in adjacent districts. It was 20 de- grees above zero in New Yark City before noon.
 Tragic tales of the storm have begun to drift into the news channels. A barge skipper died of exposure at the end of a rope which was hauling him from the water to safety aboard Unit ed States revenue cutter.
 A wealthy man dozed in his automo- bile in a garage and died there. A poor man froze to death in an Elizabeth tene- ment while bis son was out looking for work.
 Scores of fishermen and rum runners, caught in the gale, abandoned sinking small craft and were rescued by coast guard cutters or police tugs. A few arrests for liquor smuggling were re- corded after such rescues.
 Weighed down with ice cloaks, freight and passenger ships are arriving far off schedule with reports of 80 to 90- mile gales encountered as they neared the American continent. Some carry smashed lifeboats and davits empty where boats have been washed away. Thus far, however, only one of the in

 The arrests followed an investigation by Washington detectives. Both Butler and Milburne were said by the officers to have been intoxicated when appre- hended and neither would make any statement.

Attempt To Make Arrests Expected To Start
 Real Trouble SHERIFF ADMITS
 HE IS POWERLESS Band Of Ranchers Hold ing Dam Gates Has
 Armed Reserves OFFICERS FORESEE , HEAVY LIFE LOSS Troops Alone Can Prevent Trag-
 edy, Says District
 Attorney
(By Associated Press.)

INDEPENDENCE, Cal, Nov. 18.-Representatives of the city of Los Angeles an- nounced today that tomorrow the county superior court here would be asked to issue war rants for the entire army" of ranchers holding the Alabama gates of the city aqueduct in defiance of yesterdays court order to cease interfering with the Los Angeles water system.
 Citizens of this town predicted that if Sheriff Collins, of 1nyo county, attempt ed to make any arrests under such war rants such action might constitute the match which would ignite real trouble in the Los Angeles-Inyo water war which was brought to it's most recent crisis with the opening of the aqueduct waste gates last Sunday by the ranchers.
 Forecast BloOdshed
 Collins and District Attorney Hessian both issued statements forecasting loss of life and great damage to the aQueduct if the county or the city of Los Anegeles makes a move to oust the ranchers' ''army or occupation" at the Alabama gates.
 The sheriff said:
 q am powerless in the situation. If attempt to oust the ranchers it will mean possible loss of life and the dynamiting of miles of the aqueduct. The unarmed band of ranchers at the Alabama gates have armed reserves awaiting to defend them if a clash should come. Women as well as men are ready to shoot"
 The district attorney said:
 Fears Destruction
 q am thoroughly convinced that un- less state troops intervene in the con- troversy between Inyo county residents and the city of Los Angeles, there will be amazing loss of life and destruction of property. Miles of aqueduct would be destroyed"
 Late today, Hessian and Collins served fifty more copies of yesterdays court order on members of the army of occupation" who did not receive them yesterday. Througout the day and night the great stream of water continued to pour into the Owens river, diverted from the city reservoirs.

FRENCH SENATE GIVES AMNESTY
 TO CAILLAUX
Ex-Premier, Convicted Of Hampering War, May
 Aid Ministry
(By Associated Press.)


 PARIS, Nov. 1S-Joseph Caillaux, former premier, who in October, 1918, was found guilty of having "impeded prosecution of the war;" was voted amnesty today by the senate 176 to 1O4.
 Louis Malvy former minister of the interior, convicted of communication with the enemy during the war and ban ished from France for three years, was voted amnesty by 195 to 62.
 The vote on the Caillaux case. after only two hours discussion, came as a distinct surprise alike to the friends and foes of the ex-premier, who had expected a long and acrimonious debate lasting for days and perhaps weeks.
 HerriOt Urges Action
 The vote was taken immediately after a stirring speech by Premier Herriot, wko pleaded with the senators to let byognes be bygones.
 France is strong enough to be able to withstand divergencies of opinion" he said. Let us buy forever in obliv- ion the quarrels and political differ ~nces which during the war appeared to be sources of danger. Your decision will demonstrate your confidence in your country and at the same time be a measure of modification. The govern ment is asking the senate to contribute to the work of appeasement through out the country"
 Denies Treason Conviction
 From a legal standpoint, argued the premier, Cailllaux had never been con victed of treason or "even intelligence with the enemy" but had been con demned under an antiquated clause in- serted in the French penal code at the time of Napoieon's continental block ade in order to prevent French citizens corresponding with the enemy.
 The amnesty measure restores Gail laux to full civic rights. He now may run for parliament and hold office. Upon well informed authority it is said the government intends to make him Financial advisor" to the ministry of finance,
