AGAINST JURY TRIALS.

Enforcement In New
York, He Says.
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

WASHINGTON, April 8-Liberaliza-
I tion of the Volstead act as a means
for checking crime and as an in
dry laws of it's own was urged be-
fore a senate committee at the fourth
days presentation of the wet side
of the prohibition issue. Winding up
two days of testimony United States
District Attorney Buckner OF New
York City proposed modification as
an inducement for New York state
to re-enact an enabling act which
would permit it's police to cooperate
with the federal agencies in enforc-
ing the law.
Modification to check the spread
of crime, insanity and the sale of
poisonous liquor was advocated in
statements filed with the committee
by George E. Brennan, democratic
national committeeman from Illinois,
and Anton j. Cermak, heading an
official committee from Cook county
and Chicago.
Although both came here from Chi
cago to appear in person, neither
Brennan, who is democratic candidate
Tor senator frOm Illinois, nor Cermdk
took the stand, submitting instead
written statements and a long list
of statistics. These were offered in
the record of Julien Goldman, of
Boston, counsel for the VETS
District Attorney Buckner, the only
witness heard at the two hour ses-
sion, expressed the view that he could
enforce prohibition if given the nee
essary machinery and if congress
would provide for police court in
instead of jury trials for petty Of
tenders"
If jury trials are required Buckner
said SIS additional district judges are
needed for his district, with accom-
panying district attorneys, clerks,
marshals, stenographers, and a total
enforcement force of 1,500 dry agents.

Reservoir number 2 is one of the
largest of the six great storage lakes
aflame on the tank farm. Its ca
pacity is 1,25O,OO0 barrels.
Just before the explosion and over
flow number had been burning

was to come. Oil men yersed in the
habits of such fires knew, however,
that when enough steam had been
generated in the water lying at the
bottom of the reservoir the resultant
pressure would blow. the top off the

CALIFORNIA'S
STORM DEATH
TOLL IS SEVEN
lBy Dis3atcl \. =. Wnel

SAN FRANCISCO, April 8.--After
minglipg death and destruction with
rains sorely needed by farmers, or
chardists and cattle men, the storm
which has Iashed California from
end to end for five days seemed to
be diminishing in force tonight as
the disturbance moved north and
east.
Seven deaths were the human toll
in the last two days: Three men
were drowned in storm dashed seas
in the harbor at Santa Monica. Two
more were killed in an explosion at
the oil fire at San Luis Obispo. A
farmer was killed at Modesto yes
terday while crawling under a wire
fence electrified by a fallen power
line. A truck driver was killed near
Redding yesterday when huge tree
crushed the machine he was driv-
ing.
Millions of dollars of damage was
caused i'm two oil fires at San Luis
Obispo and at Brea, both started by
bolts of lightning. The heavy down
pour filled the reservoirs of the ir-
rigation systems but it also caused
slides and washouts which crippled
delayed traffic in scattered parts Of
the state. Hundreds of men were
working tonight to restore bridges
and remove mud slides, The dam
ages to flooded orchards and under
mined highways in southern Califor-
MIA alone are estimated at S500,00O
Several vessels were disabled in the
storm at sea off the California coast
The International Fiser companys
trawler number 2 was washed ashore
in a 50-mile gale off Point Reyes
last night, but the crew was rescued
by sister ship The steamship
Humboldt San Francisco-bound, with
so passengers aboard, was disabled
in an electrical storm last night but
was proceeding to port tonight tow
ed by the tug Sea Scout.
The storm worked freaks in many
places. A heavy wind tore the limbs
from trees at Hanford and put wire
communication out of commission.
Several stretches of highway north
of Napa were under water but dam
age to the roadbed was slight. High
winds with electrical disturbances ad-
ded to the storm.

Brea Threatened
(By Dispatch A. p. Wfre)

BREA, Calf, April g.
Upon a tickle wind tonight
depended whether a part
Of this town would be wiped
out, and other tanks con-
Meeting thousands of bar
rels of oil would be fired
by the second great fire on
a Union Oil company tank
farm within less than 36
hours which blazed furious
ly here from two twin
reservoirs of. 100000 bar
rels capacity each. One Of
these reservoirs has already
boiled over, spilling the
flaming oil in a broad
stream down a nearby
arroyo.
20 Homes Threatened.
A cloud of flame and smoke was
swirled by high wind over a small
group of 90 or more homes to the east
of the burning reservoirs. Should the
wind strengthen, forcing the flames
nearer the ground, many homes mere
will be snuffed out To the west Of
the blazing pools of oil are two other
reservoirs of 100000 barrels capacity
each, one of 100000 barrels capacity
and rs surface tanks of $4,000 barrels
each and three tanks of distillate, kero-
sene and gasoline of 10000 barrels
each A change in wind will inme-
diately fire these.
800 Men Fight Flames.
Attempts which first were made to
pump off and salvage part of the
oil from the burning reservoirs were
abandoned soon afterward due to the
danger of getting the hot gasses in
the pipe line. A force of approx
mately 500 men, under G. F. Jennings,
superintendent of the tank farm, work
ed throughout the day and continued
tonight throwing UP dykes. The dykes
are the only measure being taken
against the fire
The loss, with the two reservoirs
burning, was estimated in excess. of
$S,O0OO0O.

Oil company fire at San Luis Obispo.
the fire was started by lightning. Tho
explosion which followed rocked the
