''Gate Crasher''
Is Given Cell

J. S. Morrison, 81, of Ora Grande,
who crashed the gate at the county
Jail a few nights age was given a
eG-day lease on one CT the cells in
Sheriff Gillett's hotel yesterday
afternoon by Judge Mayfield. Nor
rison entered a plea of guilty to a
charge of unlawful possession OF
narcotics.
Morrison walked into the jail in
rather dazed condition at the
time of his arrest. Approaching
Tom Sharp, jailer, he informed the
deputy that he was an "under
cover man, working out of Los
Angeles and that he was looking
for some information from some
"Hyppos locked up in the county
Jail. Sharp Immediately gave him
opportunity to study the boys in the
jail, but before he turned the key
on him. he relieved Morrison of
some cocaine, morphine, a needle
and a dropper which he was carry
ing about.
While Morrison is looking out
through the bars the attaches of the
sheriff's office are conducting an
investigation to determine the own
ership of the car in which he ar
rived at the Jail. 1t was found
that the license was issued to u
man in San Bernardino for a Chew
rolct coupe while the ear driven by
Morrison was a sedan.

W. T. Myers, -, of San Diego,
and William Swanwick, %, of San
Diego, two of the three men appre-
hended by police in connection with
the automobile crash and alleged
boldup near Hebcr Monday night,
were released yesterday afternoon.
Myers paid IA fine of $25, imposed
by Judge Mavfield in the morning,
while no charge was filed against
Swanwick, who was locked mp when
he visited police headquarters to
find out why his partner was
still in Jail.
Charles Perkins, the third man
ard the one who claimed that he
was beaten up and robbed, is still
in Jail but will probably be released
late today. The officials were UNI
able to find any evidence to bear
out the robbery theory although
tine driver of the truck figuring in
the accident claimed that Myers
had pulled a gun on him during an
argument following the collision.

HELEN WILLS
ENTERS FINALS
AT WIMBLEDON

WIMBLEDON, England, June 80.
Helen Wills stroked to victory over
Joan Frye of England to enter the
finals Of the all-England tennis sim
gies championships.
Miss Wills victory followed the
defeat OF two compatriots who had
been looked upon as probable fin
alists. Elizabeth Ryan of Califor
MIA dropped her semi final match
TO Senorita Ella D'Alvarez of Spain
90, GO, GA, and then William II.
Tilden was eliminated IN the su-
preme upset of the tournament by
Henri Cochet, of France, 20, AS,
rs, GA, 6-3.
The latter match was one of the
most sensational in the history of
tennis. Coehet visibly wore down
his older opponent whose fireworks
completely dominated the court un'
til the seventh game of the third
| set when Cochet was apparently
}hopelesslv down at Is.
But Cochct thereafter solved Til
den S cannonball service and rallied
so bravely that i'll the last six
games of the match he won q
points while losing only five.
Tilden S defeat dealt blow tt
his hopes to rocoup his tennis for
tunes, lost i'll 1926 when he wa
beaten in the American Nationa
championships.
He swept through his earl,
matches at Wimbledon and lost only
one set-to Jacques Rrugnon o.

FLOOD OF CHRISTMAS PARCELS
REACHES PEAK AT POSTOFFICE
ON OUTGOING PARCELS, BELIEF

Clerks at the Douglas poStoffice all
day yesterday were struggling at
their top speed in the battle OF
the bundles" hoping at tin'"s t''~'
before the close of the days rush
they would 'get over the Top" anu
then. just as their hope was about
to blossom into full realization, a
new flood would strike and sweep
them hopelessly under. 1t was one
big day. 1t was the belief of the
force at the postoffice last night
that the peak of the Christmas rush
had been reached. They expect it
to carry on at about the peak level
for today and tomorrow.
1t might we'll have been described
by a parody on that immortal poem
Charge of the Light Brigade" 1t
was veritable and literal case of
bundles to the right of them, bundles
to the left Of them, bundles in front
of them, volleyed and thundered." :"
And again like those intrepid soldiers
of the legion, with the postoffice
clerks it twas theirs not to reason

bundles going in the direction of the
waiting trucks and the trucks as fast
as they were loaded kept the same
bundles going toward the railroad
station Occasionally it was necessary
to call another truck or two but the
force kept the bundles cleaned OUT
of the office ahead OF every de-
parting mail.
Postmaster E. j. Huxtable and
Assistant Postmaster w. j. Jackson
kept official tabs on the busy brigade
and at the close of the day the
postmaster said that the situation
had been handled and that the
clerks had made very excellent
showing. i ,l
The size of the rush is indicated
to-. an extent by the fact that. at
o'clock in the afternoon there were
three lines. of customers standing
in front of the stamp windows at
the north end of the corridor waiting
their turns and when counted by one
person who wanted to see how long
he would have to wait, there were
as people in the lines. That was
not the heaviest part OF the rush,
Douglas postoffice, like most posts
offices. over the country, has an ar
rangement that makes it necessary
for those buying stamps at the win
dows to buy and then back OUT
there being no other course to escape
after having secured the stamps.
That causes some hindrance, al
though that is one which caH not
be charged to the office force. The
stamp clerks displayed con1mendable
celerity in handling the stamp busi-
ness as did also the parcel and
registry windows. To the onlooker,
the public appeared to be getting
prompt service in every department.

Showing an exceptionally interest
ing lot of relics of the chase in
hunting grounds of Africa, Mexico
and Canada, and also displaying a
large lot of implements OF war. in
cluding both guns and swords. Major
G. H. School, of the Canadian pro-
vincial police, addressed an audience
in the Parish house last evening,
the talk proving interesting and in
Structive. His relics of the hunt
included the skins of many animals
well mounted while there were also
some skins OF large reptiles.
In addition to his exhibitions,
Major School talked Of his exper-
fences as peace officer, making an
argument for clean living by the
youth, as he told them that a bad
start usually led to a sad ending.
He concluded his address With some
observations on the Canadian liquor
system, which he declares is worse
than any he has ever known else
where "When they call it govern
ment control, they lie about it," said
the speaker. "We know it is not
government control and we proved
it, He cited a case Of an individual
being sent to see whether the ''gov-
ernment controlled it, by seeing how
much one could get in a day and
that person succeeded in buying and
taking away two gallons of whisky
and 13 gallons of beer. "And they
call that government CONTROL said
the speaker. "Well, it is just a
means of controlling way to educate
people to drink"
In his. lecture, Major School had
the aid of half a dozen boys on the
platform and he dressed them up in
military uniforms of different ma
tions to show something of the way

of the enemy. In his work
he brought quite a bit OF amusement
