BUCKNER RESUMES
paddock CRUSADE
Papers Served on 41 Night
Haunts, Some Popular
With Society.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December 24.-Federal
Attorney Buckner has begun his third
and largest paddock crusade" by a
holiday onslaught on Al white way
night haunts, some of them favorite
society and theatrical resorts.
At midnight last night deputy
United States marshals, prohibition
agents and police began wholesale
service of SummonSeS and complaints
| upon proprietors, who are given 20
days in which to accept consent de-
| crees" or fight their cases.
The padlocking proceedings are the
result of evidence previously gathered
by the authorities. Several OF the
places proceeded against were in
volved in two previous drives by Nh.
Buckner's office.
Seeks Moral Effect.
The 20.day leeway, it is admitted
will not prevent any holiday plans
from being carried out, but it is hoped
that the proceedings viii have 4
moral" effect.
Mr.. Buckner asserts some of the
cabarets, restaurants and night clubs
have sent out holiday invitation cards
which hint broadly that the thirsty
may have their thirsts slaked by visits
TO the resorts. Many, he says, have
! spent thousands of dollars In removal
ing and decorating their establish
ments for prospective Christmas and
New Year patronage.
Wants Maximum Sentences.
Most Of the places closed in the
earlier proceedings consented to
peace padlocks" under which they
could not open for six months. Those
in the present proceedings, which put
the Government To the expense OF
trial, will receive maximum sen
fences" Mr.. Buckner says.
Some of the clubs against which
summonses were issued bear such
descriptive names as Texas Tommy's.
Chumnly Club, Coy Step In. Hop Up
Club, the Charleston and the Necka
Club.
Mr.. Buckner said that some Of the
places included in his latest peace
raid" We're patroniZed by wealthy men
and women, who assuaged their
thirsts at high cost and only after
having secured admission through
introduction"

SPECIAL Dlepdtcn TO Inc sta
CUMBERLAND, Md, December "a.
Western Maryland Railway officials
believe the dynanIiting Of bridge yes
terday at Bingamon Junction, span
ming the West Fork River, was Il re-
suit of the mine strike, which has
been in progress in the Fairmont re-
gion for several months. Among the
strikers is large foreign element.
and as the mines have been running
heavy, with constantly increasing pro-
duction by non-union labor, feeling on
the part Of certain strikers has in
creased.
Bloodhounds failed to trail the dy-
namiters, but practically no clue has
been obtained. No blame is attached
to striking employees of the railroad.
It is thought the bridge can be re
stored in three days. In the mean
time the miners are idle and over
l 900 men are out of work. The mines
would have been idle one day any
way-Christmas.

fact. Without warning and with no

That it was an epidemic, arising from

that all cases had exactly the same
symptoms, with some resulting more

sick ones have now recovered.

SENATE PROVIDES SAN
CARLOS PROJECT FUNDS

Early construction of the Coolidge
dam at San Carlos on the Gila river is
assured under the provisions of the in
terror bill which passed the senate
Tuesday night, according to letter
received by The Sun from John R.
Towles of Phoenix, register of the U
S. land office.
The interior bill carried an appro.
priation of $450,000 which becomes
available Immediately to commence
the construction of the DAM The bill
carried further appropriation OF
100000 for, the continuing of the con-
struction of the necessary canals fo1
the irrigation of the Indian lands in
the Gila Indian reservation at Saca-
tom 3
The interior bill had already passed
the lower house and following its pas
sage by the senate, it went to con-
ference of the two houses on amend
ments.
The s450,0oo appropriation made
for the construction of the Coolidge
dam, which will store water for the
reclamation of approximately $4,000
acres of white lands and 10000 tc
$4,000 acres of Indian lands in the
Casa Grande-F Florence valley is the
first section Of the $5,500,000 appro-
priation authorized by the San Carlos
bill for the construction of the dam.
The bill was passed by congress
last summer few days prior to adj
journment. 1t provided that the
funds to build the dam are to be ap-
propriated, beginning with $450,00C
appropriation and continuing appro-
priation of increasing amounts there
after until the dam is completed.
1t is expected that the wolk OF
building the dam will be commenced
as soon as possible after the appro-
priation is. made available by the
Signature of President Coolidge to the
interior bill. According to those ir
close touch with the matter, the con-
struction of the dam will be started
at a date in the early summer of 1928
and be carried forward as rapidly as
possible until its completion which i
is estimated will require between twc
and three years.
The appropriation of 100000 con,
tanned in the interior bill is for CON
tinued work on the laterals in thf
Gila Indian reservation, where the
government is now engaged in build
ing a diversion dam near Sacaton
This dam when completed, with thc
laterals to be built with the $200,00C
appropriation, will form part of the
San Carlos project. Water for irrl.
CATION of these lands which comprise
practically all of the Indian lands un
der the project will be taken from the
Coolidge dam reservoir when the dan
has been completed.
