Smoop order to Meter Readers Sti1S
Violent Chorus of Rhode Island Ire

DAWTUCKET, R. T., Dec. Is.
l. "A dry law storm that
threatened to spread across the
Nation was raging in high fury
in Rhode Island today.
David DAILY, president Of the
Blackstone Valley Gas and Elec-
trio Company, yesterday an
nounced that he had ordered the
100 meter readers employed by
his company to report home
brewing activities discovered in
the course of their visits to
Rhode Island Homes.
The storm, in the form Of en-
phatic protests from household
ers, attained cyclone proportions
today.
Overnight, several unforeseen
angles of the situation developed.
For one thing, it was charged
that Days order was inspired,
not by a sense Of duty, as his
announcement said, but by a de-
sire to protect his pocketbook.
Many gas pipes have been tapped
lately by Illicit still operators and
it was suggested the order might
have been designed to discour-
age such tapping.
Heads of other public utility
concerns, observing the contro-
versy, hastened to discIaim any
intention of following Days
lead.

Decision Reached for Visit
to Guatemala, Salvador,
Honduras, Panama. a
PLAN GREAT OVATION
$4,000 Children to Parade
Before Air Hero in
Mexico City.
BY G. F. FINE
United Press stan Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 16.-Seven
hundred American children today
shrilled their unqualified admiration
of Col. Charles A. Lindhergh on his
visit to the American school here,
the main event on his program to-
day.
The children greeted him as
hero whose like they had not met
outside of dreams or fairy tales.
Actually, the American aerial am
bassador to France and Mexico was
working over in his mind, as he
grinned happily at the children, his
missions to four more countries.
From Mexico, it was decided to-
day, Colonel Lindbergh will fly in
Spirit of st. Louis to Guatemala,
Salvador, Honduras and Panama.
Great Friendship Tour
The tour is to be perhaps the
greatest factor in history in stimu-
lating Pan-American cohesion.
Colonel Lindbergh's program for
today and tomorrow was one that
divided itself between high states
men and children. 1t seemed that
those in charge Of his program
wanted every boy and girl in Mexico
to see that the "gringoes," at whom
many Of them instinctively had
hooked askance, were anxious to be
friends with them, and might not
De so bad after all.
1t has been impossible so far to
ignore the significance of the part
children have played in the royal
greeting given the American aviator.
Great Celebration Planned
Tomorrow is planned one Of the
greatest children's celebrations on
record.
Sixty thousand OF them, boys and
girls, will honor Lindbergh at a
giant festival at the national stadi-
um. Calisthenics, national dances,
children's and patriotic songs are on
the program. The cheers are taken
for granted, as Lindbergh has gone
nowhere that they have not been ap-
parent.
It had been said that the festival
would take place today, but it was
decided to fix it for tomorrow, to
give time for the public to arrange
to attend and newspapers today
carried full page invitations to
everyone to be there.
Within the next day or two "We"
were expected to make a flight over
the city.
Lindbergh will be alone with mem
bers Of the American embassy for
Christmas. His mother, Mrs.
Evangeline Lindbergh, telegraphed
yesterday from Detroit that she
would be unable to accept American
Ambassador Morrow's invitation to
come to Mexico City for Christmas.
Yesterday added honors were paid
Lindbergh. He visited President
Gales, received a special medal
from the House of Deputies, and
was widely cheered whenever he
appeared on the streets.

In the illness Of United States
Attorney John S. Murdock, his
assistant, Russell P. Jones,
cautiously said he does not be-
1ieve the Government can force
other companies to emulate DAILY.
"If the companies refused to
grant our request to report stills,
we probably would not compel
them to do so," he said. He
added, however, that if specific
instances were shown where a
company employe discovered a
still and failed to report it, he
might be prosecuted
The controversy centered to-
day about the principle that the
home is sacred, principle deep
ly-rooted in Rhode Island, one
of the two States that did not
ratify the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
1t has been exemplifled re-
peatedly by Judge Lellan j. Tuck
of Pawtucket District Court. Few
home-brewers have been con-
victed in his court, because he
has held that the home is pro-
tected by the Constitution from
invasion.
Several householders inter-
viewed today threatened to bar
the meter readers from their
homes. Others said they would
be admitted, and watched, to
prevent prying.

The drop in temperature was well
coined in parts Of Indiana and along

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 16.-Col.
Iva Charles A. Lindbergh today
faced his first knotty problem of
diplomacy as ambassador of
friendship"
He will have to decide whether
to attend the bull fight Sunday in
his honor, as the Mexicans expect
him to, or to decline, as humane
societies in the United States are
urging him to do In kilograms.
1t is customary to arrange a
bull fight for distinguished wish
tors to Mexico City. And since
Lindbergh has been accorded the
horors of q visiting sovereign, it
was logical to plan bull fight for
Sunday.
Lindbergh'S views on whether
bull fights are humane are not
known. But it is known he has
received kilograms from various
humane societies in the United
States urging him not to attend.
Six messages arrived Thursday.
One from the board of a Den
yer society asked Ambassador
Morrow to use his influence to
prevent the fier from attending.

people and farmers near here are
doing their Christmas shopping
while Lloyd Kimble fights for his
life in the Carroll Circuit Court
room, watching closely efforts of the
State to choose twelve men who will
find him guilty of the murder of
Daniel Sink last August and send
him to death in the electric chair.
Although the courtroom is
jammed, the tedious process of Sc
lecting jurors is not so interesting
but what spectators can get away to
the stores where holiday goods in
bright array form a sharp contrast
to the grim business going on in the
courtroom.
Five Children in Court
Kimble is the father of six chill
dren-two daughters, and 8 years
old, and four sons ranging in age
from Q to 20 years. The youngest
boy is i'll at home, but the other five
children and the mother are close
to Kimble in court. 1t may be that
when the presents being bought to-
day are distributed, Kimble will
know whether his Christmas gift is
life or death.
This morning the trial entered
upon its fourth day without a single
man being seated as juror. The
last 112 veniremen are being ex-
amined today.

HAMMER KILLER TO

Velma West, 21-year-old city-bred
wife, who killed her small town hus-
band with a hammer because che
refused to take her to party" will
go on trial late in January or early
in February.
Indications of the early trial were
given today, when Prosecutor Seth
Paulin announced he had called a
special session of the county grand
jury for Jan. 9.
Consideration Of the case is ex-
pected to take at least two days. II
an indictment is returned, Mrs
West will face a jury for the slay-
ing Of Edward West, prominent
nurSeryman.
Confidence Of Paulin and Sheriff
Edward Rasmussen that an indict-
ment charging first degree murder
would be returned was not held by
others in this vicinity, because OF
the growing belief that the prosecu-
ton has insufficient evidence to
substantiate the charge.
Paulin has limited at surprise

postscript which the girl is said to
have added to her confession, but ii

The meter readers were not

The first half dozen inter-
viewed said emphatically they
would report no home brewing.
Meter readers in Indianapolis
will continue to be deaf, dumb,
and blind to the brewing ac-
tivities they bump into in the
course of their meter"reading
rounds.
"Our men are not asked nor
expected to bring in any in
formation about home brewing
any more than they would be
asked to bring in any other in
formation from a private home"
said G. L. Kirk, vice president
and general manager of the
Citizens Gas Company. 1.-THE
meter reader has eyes, ears and
nose only for the gas meter,
unless, which has happened once
or twice here he looks sidewise
to detect that the gas user has
made a connection ahead of the
meter and so is cheating on his
gas. In that case, the reader must
report the infraction."
