searchers continued their efforts 10

The object sighted by watchers ON

south of here, was gone when a
seaplane reached the spoa alter the
pilot was informed that no boats
we're available at the inlet. Vessels
later were brought to the spor.
Meanwhile the land patrols paced t'2e

ARCHITECT NOW
lContinued from Page one)

The San Carlos is to open to public
patronage within the week
what we have done at Phoenix in
building the San Carlos is what we
would like to duplicate in Douglas for
Mr.. Iackey," said Mr. Ritchie. "At
Phoenix we carried out rigidly use
Arizona products Wherever the thing
e d e. d was manufactured in this
state in quality that the specifica-
tons required, we got it in Arizona.
We used between IS and 80 per cent
Arizona labor There were some
things that could not be had in Ari-
zona, as a product manufactured here.
In all such instances we endeavored
to buy them of Phoenix firms repre-
renting that line in the state That
is what we believe to be a proper
policy anywhere and if Mr. Mackey
secures our services in whatever ne
may do here, I hope il will be with
that understanding.
"In that connection. it is pleasing
tc me to be able to say that Douglas
plasted made by the Arizona Gypsum
Plaster company was exclusively used
and we found it to be not only a
desirable plaster but as good as the
market offers. The plasterer at first
didn't enthuSe over our selection but
he soon discovered that when he had
become acquainted with the character
of it and handled it properly, it was
excellent and he became as favorably
impressed with it as we were, The
result of its use gave as fine walls as
one could wish and patrons of the
hotel ere sure to be impressed with
that fact"
Mr.. Ritchie returned to his home on
the afternoon train. Mr.. Mackey said
after he had conferred with the archi-
tect that he expects to be ready to
make his announcement of plans inn
mediately on receipt of the report of
the architect.

REED SIDESTEPS
PROHIBITION IN
l. A. INTERVIEW

j LOS ANGELES. Feb % QP1-~Prohibi-
ton was brushed aside as campaign
issue by Senator James A. Reed, If
Missouri, as he entered California to-
day to wage fight, he said
! against corrupt Washington" and for
united democratic party
! Taking day off from speech max
ing, the Missouri democratic presi-
Dental candidate confined his public
utterances to newspapermen who sur
! rounded him shortly after his arrival
here early today. They popped the
inevitable question which newspaper
men at other stopping places have put
| to the senator and asked him about
prohibition.
81 don't think prohibition is an issue
in this campaign the silver haired
campaigncr growled, pounding the arm
] Of his chair with fist holding an un
lighted cigar.
Prohibition is on the statutes and
] until the law is changed by the people
there it is and, of course, it must be
enforced If you want to settle that
issue now, disband the republican and
J democratic parties--they are both spit
on it-and fight it out with prohibi-
J ton and anti-prohibition parties.
1.-THE first issue, in my humble opin-
ion, is to get rid of the crooks end
scoundrels who are running the gov
ernment--to set up an honest govern
ment which will try to act in the in
/ terests of the people
/ Renarking that he had been in pub
liz 1ifa foy H1aorc t11a cqJT
"the people ought to know how stand
on most things" He recalled his an
Swer in Phoenix last night that if hf
had the power to name Judges and
law officers to enforce the Volstead ACT
he would name men who would en-
force "all laws with business and fair
ness
Senator Reed was given an enthus-
iastic welcome by crowd gathered a.
the station when he arrived and with
Mrs. Reed he was escorted to the hote
by motorcycle policemen Throughoul
the day he held open house at the
hotel, meeting with many democrats
and old friends. He was told by Mil
ton K Young in charge of arrange
ments for his speech here tomorrow
night, that "Reed for President club
had been organized
/ Mr. Young said he would advise the
senator to have his name filed in the
presidential primary in this state on
May when the 26 delegates to the ma
tional convention will be selected. Can-
didates must be filed by March "a
This is the first state. the senator has
visited on his western trip where a
primary will be held
i Definite announcement was made
today that the senator would speak in
San Francisco on Friday night. Ten
tative arrangements have been made
also for stops at Reno, Nevada; Ogden
] and Salt Lake City, Uath; and Frank
fort, KY, on the return eastward.
! Only one day would be devoted to both
Ogden and Salt Lake City. At Frank
fort he will address, by invitation, the
Kentucky state legislature.

MISSOURI GIVES
REED 80 VOTES
In CONVENTION

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Feb % QP-
Missouri democracy today vo:ed Sen
ator Jim Reed a triumphant return
to leadership OF the party in his
home state on a platform assuring
the veteran MiSSourian OF a block OF
36 votes in his fight for the demo
cratic presidential nomination al
Houston.
In striking contrast to the wave
OF anti-Reed bitterness which swept
the state eight years ago. the name
OF, Reed today dominated the plat
form adopted by the state convention.
It instructed the states delegation
to vote for the senator's nomination
as unit so long as his name remains
before the national convention.
Peace and harmony marked the
meeting and there was none of the
animosity that sprung up against the
senator in 1920 when he even was
refused a place on the state dele
cation to the San Francisco national
convention.
.'EIis services in the United States
senate have excited the admiration
Of all the people and we acclaim
him a peerless champion in the cause
of good government" the platform
declared.
The convention elected w. T,
Kemper, OF Kansas City, as national
committeeman without opposition
and named Mrs. Charles r. Faris,
OF St. Louis, wife OF Federal Judge
Faris, as national democratic COM
mitteewoman to succeed Mrs. Emily
