 After Ending Sentence
Copyright. 1929, by United Press,

Copyright. 1923, by United Press) Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. IL (UP) An effort to rescue . man buried alive for 46 years in the worst prison on earth" was begun here today.
 The man is Paul Lamont, . citi- zen of Belgium and former master Of languages at London university.
 The prison is Devils Island and its associated penal colony of St. Laurent De Maroni. in French Guiana.
 Six years ago Lamont. now 7s years of age. had finished a % year sentence for forgery and was a free man. Today he is more surely a prisoner than at any time during his 60 years of servitude, according to . report to tho Belgian ambassa- dor at Washington by w. E. Allison Booth. American. who himself has just returned from the French pe- nal settlements.
 ARtson- Booth landed in Los An- seles after shipping half way around the slobe in order to get back to the United States.
 He was second oncer on a supply steamer plying between New York and troptc prison colonies. On his last trip from the United States to Devils Island and St. Laurent he was left behind at the latter point, and spent three months awaiting the arrival of tho next steamer.
 During his three months at St. Laurent he became acquainted, he said, with many of the thousands Of men who are mot allowed to live. not allowed to die" in the equatorial prisons, including, &C., cording to his statement. Paul La- mont,

YALENzUElA FACES
 REBELLION CHARGE
Former Minister to Great Britain
 Accused in Mexico

Mexico City, Feb. 14 R-Cam- paign activities of Gilberto Valen- zuela. former minister to Great Brit ain and presidential candidate to- day brought charges against him of fomenting rebellion.
 The charges were as vehemently denied by his adherents as express ed by those opposing him, who la- belled him Captain General De Cristeros'-Captain general of "Cris- teros" referring to the insurgent movement in Jalisco. "Cristeros" is derived from their battle cry, 'Vivo Christo Rey," or Long live Christ King"
 Meanwhile publication here of ! speech delivered Saturday by Valen- zuela at Hermosillo, Sonora, gave some background for the charges against him. In that speech he bit- terly attacked the government of President Emilio Portes Gil, but even more strenuously he attacked former President Gales.
 Valenzuela declared he was not directing his campaign for the presi- dential nomination of the national revolutionary party so much against Ortiz Rubio and Aaron Saenz, his opponents as against Gales. (The former president has repeatedly said he will not make the race for the presidency"
 Accused by Coagressmcn
 The charges against Valenzuela were made in meeting late yester- day of the mixed congressional commission. a committee of con- gressmen which functions in national emergencies when congress is in recess. and which met to consider events following the Toral execution.
 A deputy, Gonzales Santos. charg- ed that Valenzuela had invited some military commanders to revolt, think ing them weak minded enough to do so, and he declared that the for mer minister was Treparing his re- bellion for "soon." Then he warn- ed that the government was pro- pared to put it down when it did start.
 Senator Lauro Caloca replied in defense of Valenzuela, declaring he was 50 strongly entrenched in public favor he did not need to start 8 ro- volt.
 The meeting was a stormy one with frequent attacks on the Catho- lie clergy interspersed. It ended after the congressional committee had de- cided to foster demonstration Sunday in favor of the government. All labor unions and social organi- zations will be invited to participate in manifestation intended to show the peoples indignation at the attempt against the presidents life last Sunday.
 Among the congratulations receiv- ed today for his escape Sunday was . cablegram from Queen Mary of Great Britain.

REASON FOR AMERICAN TARIFF

The gospel of an American tariff
that seeks fair competition at home for
American manufacturers, as opposed to
an exclusion policy, was presented by
American delegates to the fifth general
congress of the International Chamber
of Commerce in Amsterdam.
ALI that Americas tariff policy con-
templates, according to Julius 81.
Barnes, American vice. president of the
organization, is IAN adequate protection
of American living standards and an
equalization which gives our manufac-
turers and agricultural producers the
opportunity to sell in our home markets
without the handicap of destructive
competition from abroad" In denying
the exclusion" argument, he added
that since 1921 imports had shown an
increase of 100 per cent with sub
stantial growth in exports.
"It is of far more service to the
world to preserve American standards
as goal for other peoples than to per-
NIT these standards to be reduced
through opening up our markets to an
unrestricted current of goods produced
by cheaper labor.
sour problem is to employ the tariff
as a factor for the adjustment OF
differences here and abroad until the
rest of the world can measurably catch
up with us and consequently reduce
the margin of security which our pro-
tective tariff affords"

CAUSES OF CRIME

Crime furnishes means OF "nVeli-
hood" for thousands of persons in the
United States The crime wave has
been variously attributed to the war,
automobiles, the increased freedom OF
the younger generation" improved
standards of living, prohibition and
ownership of fire arms.
Reformers attack first one issue and
then another in their effort to place
the blame for crimes ranging from
lodging payment of taxes to thievery
and murder.
The sale and ownership Of revolvers
and pistols has come in for more than
it's share of persecution. 1t is true
that revolvers are used in the commits
sion of crime, but so are automobiles,
hammers, clubs, knives, sawed-off shot
guns machine guns, poison, bricks, gas,
rope and endless other commodities
all innocent in themselves.
The United States has no cleaner
sport, and probably none whichs devel-
ops a greater degree OF skill, than
shooting at targets with small arms.
If it were possible to keep pistols and
revolvers from the man who follows
crime for living (Which it is not), he
would simply resort to one OF any
number of other reapons which would
serve his purpose as well.

bic WEEK FOR
STEEL STOCKS

Steel common on Wednesday of last
week crossed $40 for a new high at
$210.25 but receded in the general
movement to $2O6 at the close of trad
ing says a Trade Journal. There seems
to be a very general impression that,
with the retirement of the last of the
bonded debt of the Corporation, COM
mon shares will be treated more gener-
ously, either in the way of extra cash
dividends or stock split-up. The re-
tirement Of the bonds will add about
$1.7O a year to earning of augmented
common stock by elimination of inter-
est and sinking fund requirements. 1t
is expected that the Corporation will
show earnings of SIG or SIT on COM
mon this year. Other steel companies
will make large increases in their
earnings this year as compared with
those of the past few years, If one may
Judge by reports of earnings for the
first half-year. Y. s. & T. touched
$160 on Wednesday, new high, and
Republic I. & S. $114.50. There seems
more chance now. of a merger of these
two companies with Inland than In
former negotiations.

COOK TEAM
DEFEATS ELY

The Ely Base Ball Club journeyed to
Cook last Sunday and came back
minus the bacon. The game was in
teresting even tho there were plenty
of errors on both sides. The Ely boys
were credited with ten hits and ten
errors and the Cook team with ten
hits and seven errors. 1t is by this
margin of errors that the Cook team
won out 10 to 8.
Ely started the. scoring in the second
when Ayala was safe on an error and

Sauerkraut Traced to
Asiatic Wild Tribes

Sauerkraut, once an alien in this
country, has been completely natural
lied and adopted by the nation, as
evidenced by the fact that the figures
show that during the last year this
nation made and consumed 100000
gallons of sauerkraut. This repre-
sents valuation of $3,50O,000. 1t is
no longer looked upon as a dietary of
foreign land. While the Germans
are given the credit Of originating
sauerkraut, the charge is not well
founded. There is evidence that It has
been made In Holland and In Alsace
from early times. One writer traces
1t to Asia, showing how the Tartars
first passed on a sauerkraut recipe to
the Slavic peoples of eastern Europe,
who In their turn gave it to the an
cient Germans. From Germany, 1t is
conceded, the delicacy was brought
here by immigrants, who as they In
creased in numbers spread its popu-
larity as food.

WHAT IS sPECULATIoNg

Every time a crop is planted, or a
new building is erected, or business
inaugurated, someone speculates.
Through misinterpretation many peo-
pie who speculate" in securities In
hope of making money as our industries
progress, are part of our great economic
structure. For the first time in history,
people in every walk of life are finding
it possible to purchase interests, large
or small, in the organizations that fur
nish the necessities and luxuries OF
modern life.
General and individual progress de-
ponds to considerable extent on spec
ulation, to improve living standards,
raise wages and increase the per capita
wealth.
Speculation is dangerous when con-
taminated by dishonesty or ignorance.
When restricted to the purchasing OF
securities in our great industries through
the guidance of high class brokers or
investment bankers, it is one OF the
finest institutions we have. The old
axiom, Nothing ventured, nothing
gained" is true in all human endeavors.

DO 1T NOW

A black spot on the record of Ameri-
can progress and prosperity is fire
waste.
For two years, since the high mark
of over half billion dollars was reach
ed in 1929, losses have declined, an In
dication that fire prevention work is
bearing fruit. Yet we have the great
est per capita loss of any country In
the world.
The tragic part of the waste Is that
at least eighty per cent Of all fires are
preventabgle and inexcusable. We sac
rif1ce thousands of lives and millions of
dollars in property, merely because of
carelessness or ignorance.
Fire prevention organizations, both
public and private, have labored un-
tiringly to instruct people In the mem

losses to greatly decrease during the
annual Fire Prevention Week." only
to rise again when the period is past.
Fire Is the most hopeless and ter
rible of all wastes. Property and liv-
es destroyed can never be completely
replaced. And the indirect loss, in time
and business and employment, is in
estimable.
Americans who pride themselves on
intelligence and education must fur
Their reduce the fire waste. They would
do well to glance around their homes,
offices and factories and eliminate haz-
ards they are sure to find. Do 1t now,
not after the fire.
