CAMPAIGNS BY RADIO
HELD UP BY HECKLERS

KANSAS CITY. April THE ex.
tensive political campaigning by
radio proposed for the coming sum
mer received a serious set back
here last night. when radio heck

for information leading to the ap.
prehension of "a radio vandal' who
is alleged to have interfered with
broadcasting speeches in the heated
city election campaign from sta.

up" so as to rendered unintellible.

Estimated at More Than
$500. 900.

Florists of Washington are do
ing large out.of-town business, it
was learned today, when the esti-
mate was made that the annual
shipments amount to more than
100000.
Flowers from Washington are
being shipped to New England and
as far west as Minnesota for Easter
and during the next two days
large shipments will be made to
New York, Baltimore and Philadel-
phia.
Aside from the sentiment con.
nected with the blossoms as. com
ing from the National Capital,
Washington flower culture is
second to none in the country, the
result being that the blossoms
and the plants supplied by local
florists are recognized as being
among the finest obtainable.
To the Department of Agricul-
ture, more than to any other
agency, do the florists of the city
owe their position as Americas
leading flower producers. In the

may be added to it under favorable
holiday conditions this coming

DON'T FORGET THE
FOLKS AT COUNTY
FARM TOMORROW

Gas We do it unto the least of
these my brethren, we do it unto
me-" And at Easter-time, when the
words of the Man of Galilee come
to the notwithstanding earth with
a clearness and sweetness which
which reaches many heart as the
anniversary of the Resurrection is
again celebrated, these words take
on a deeper meaning.
Tomorrow, people of this city will
have an opportunity to spread
Easter cheer to the inmates of the
county farm. "It takes so little to
delight these folks out here" These
words of Superintendent F. w.
Weir express more clearly than
volumes, the happiness which can
be scattered among those who are
to spend Easter at the county farm
tomorrow.
Flowers, fruit, jellies, jams,
flowers for the older ones, Easter
bunnies, candies or toys for the
kiddies and clothes, old or new for
all, will be much appreciated
There are 55 inmates at the county
farm, 25 of them in the hospital
ward, who will make the Easter
sunshine seem brihgter to you,
when you share a bit of your hap
piness with them. Nine of these
are children whose ages range from
two to 12 years.

Easter Egg Man
Comes All Way
From Coast

George S. Peck, formerly of
this city, knows how to play
the part of a fairy godfather
and also believes that his role
is one which holds good from
year to year. For Mr.. Peck is
the Easter Egg Man. to the
many children who attend the
Mckinley school of this city,
and each Easter he appears, as
if at the wave Of a fairy wand,
Or a touch of Alladin's lamp.
For a number of years, no
one seems sure just how many,
the casters Egg Man, has
appeared on the Friday before
Easter and notified the teachers
at the Mckinley school that the
kiddies were to be his guests at
an Easter egg hunt in the city
park.
Yesterday Mr.. Peck appear
ed, and hundreds of candy eggs
We're found in all parts of the
park at noontime by the happy
children. And best of all, Mr..
Pack watches carefully to see
that no child goes away with
out finding something.
But the sweetest part of this
Easter, story is that, in spite Of
the fact that lie had moved to
the coast during the last year,
the Easter Egg Man came
all the way back, bringing his
wife with him. "For they will
be expecting me- he said SIM

You'd Better Stay
Home For a
While

If you go to Jaoumba, or
any point outside of the county
in the hills between here and
San Diego for a weekend jaunt,
you will face personal fumiga-
tion and the charge Of 81 for
your automobile disinfection.
While all are probably now fam
iliar with the fact that every
one entering this county must
be fumigated, it may not have
occurred to local residents that
this rule would automatically be
applied to themselves if they go
even short distance outside of
Imperial's boundaries.
Another disadvantage, which
will probably discourage week
end travellers, is the fact that if
anything like the usual number
of autos go out of the county,
long wait at the quarantine
station will doubtless be necessa-
ry, even though travellers do not
object to disinfection.

7 FIREMEN DIE,
SCORE HURT in
CHICAGO FIR E
Horrifying Scenes Enact
ed When Blast Causes
Wall to Fall

CHICAGO, April 19.-Arson was
suspected by police today in the fire
which last night gutted four-story
building here killing seven firemen,
one civilian and injuring 20 others,
some perhaps fatally.
Search of the ruins continues, po-
lice and firemen fearing others, still
unaccounted for, may have been
trapped where a terrific explosion
caused the walls to billow out and
then collapse.
The explosion occurred on the
second floor while firemen were
swarming over the building.
The structure was known as the
Curran building.
Several fireman were on the up
per floors, others were on the ground
floor and still others were perchel
ON ladders, leaning against the walls
and on water tower, rearing its
head a few feet from the building
when without a second of warning
terrific explosion shook the build
ing.
The roof and upper floors crashed
through to the basement, carrying
the tortured living freight. Shrieks
of agony pierced the gale-like roar
of the flames and earth shaking
crash of falling brick, concrete, steel
and timbers. Fire ladders crumpled
like flimsy tubes.
Scenes of Heroism
Scenes of heroism followed. Po-
licemen and firemen, undaunted,
rushed into the roaring furnace.
Most of those on the injured list
were dragged from the ruin. Doe
tors, internes and nurses were sum-
moned and administered first aid
III the glare of the fire.
A priest, Father E. A. Jones of
the Holy Family church, walked
calmly through the excitement, de-
livering the last sacrament to the
dying.
Patrolman Thomas Kelly Jr., Civ
ing assistance wherever needed,
came on one little group and broke
through to see if he could be of
assistance, and found his father
dead--in the center.
Lieutenant John Kaminslky and
John Courtney of a fire insurance
truck, had miraculous escape from
death. They were on the third
floor when the explosion occurred.
They rode the flying wall to the
street, and while rendered uncon-
scious, were not badly hurt.
Samuel Moore, Leo Unell and
Samuel Palinaki are in custody in
connection with the investigation.
