.EX.M|NE LEADER IS SHOT TO DEATH
Frank Asatti Slain in Office in
 WAk@barre, Penn.
SLAYER NAMED TO POLICE
Witness Says DcpOsei Union Head Killed by Bullets Fired from Coat Pocket by sam Bonito, La bOr Officer.

Wilkes Barre, Pa, Feb. 16 R - Frank Agatti, deposed president of Pittston union mine local, was shot and fatally wounded today in the headquarters of District No. l, United Mine Workers, on the 18th floor of the Miners Bank building here.
 District Organizer Anthony Fig lock told police that Agatti's slayer was Sam Bonito. present head of the. No. local of the Pennsylvania fcoal i 't6mpany at Pittston.
 Fires from Pocket l Agatti received the contents of a revolver which. according to Fig lock, Bonita fired from the pocket of his overcoat. Agatt was hurried to Mercy hospital where he died 20 minutes later.
 According to Figlock, Agatti came to the headquarters to discuss q new working agreement with the company in the mine. Yesterday a subcommittee of the union con- ferred with company officials and reported afterward that an agree ment had been reached. 1 Agatti was making a report to l'iglock and August Lippi. interna- tional board member, when Bonito and two other men burst through the door and in twinkling, it is alleged that Bonito fired.
 Rush from Room
 Agatti fell to the floor and hard ly before Figlock or Lippi realized what had occurred the trio fled through the door and started down the IF flights of stairs.
 John Kmetz and Frank Shifka both members of the district execu- tive staff. were standing in the lobby of the building when Bonito and his companions rushed down the stairway.
 Immediately the union officials started after them and summoned a policeman who hurried in pur- suit.
 Local Union No. has been in constant turmoil for the last year with bickerings over control of the union. Agatti was deposed as pres ident several months ago. Three weeks ago Thomas Lillis to his home after a union meeting in Pittston.
 | No arrests were made for the Lillis murder.
 The room where the shooting occurred presented a blood -spattered appearance when police arrived Agatti lay on the floor. Several steel bullets from the gun used in the killing shattered furniture in the place. One bullet passed through a glass partition and entered an adj joining office where several girl clerks were at work. Two other bullets broke the only window ir the office
 The rattle of bullets created ex- citement in more than a score ot nearby offices. This aided the gun men in escaping. They ran from the suite 10 the elevator that happened to be at the 18th floor. After get ting on the car the three men de seconded to the ninth floor where they had the woman operator le, : hem out.

PRISON FOR BOOTLEGGERS

Sentencing owners Of stills to states prison ap-
to be of the most sensible ways for dscour
aging crime that has been placed on the statute books
in recent years
Much of the crime which prevails at the present
time can be traced back to bootleg liquor" as its
source, and by eliminating that source it naturally
follows that there should be considerable decrease
in crime
The prohibition law is a mighty unpopular one
and the question of its open to honest argu
ment and difference of opinion but it is the law OF
the land and should be obeyed The who manu-
factures liquor is back of all the other criminals the
man who sells it. the who transports it, and the
man who consumes it. Cut out the first and the 9TH
unable to function.
Some who believe themselves good citizens, con
slider the prison sentence mighty the still
owner. They honestly think that it is not such great
crime to turn grain other products into alcohol.
However, If they took the trouble inspect of
the stills that have been confiscated right here in I'M
perial county they would be in favor of hanging the
fellow who operates one.
The sherffs office has quite display of these
stills in stock. Aside from the fact that they
used to break the prohibition law, they also break
every section of the laws governing good health and
sanitation. They foul, evl-smellmg and evil
looking beside which the old time hog troughs would
appear like flower boxes.
If the sheriff should decide to place one of these
stills public exhibition undoubtedly it would make
his work much easier in the future, for few would
want to drink 'booteg' after seeing its source, and
the still owners business would collapse.
However, giving the liquor manufacturer a
stretch at San Quentin is bound to have good effect
The California Legislature is to be congratulated for
making such sentence possible, and the courts
only doing their duty in sending the offender behind
the bars What if it is stern treatment serious cases
demand stern measures and the illicit still is respon-
sible for too much crime to be considered minor in
fraction of the law.
