Liquor Selling, Gambling, Blackmail, Fighting, Alleg-
 ed, Charged and Denied
Evidence So Mixed Court Uncertain
 What Happened

During q session of the city court that lasted for two hours, Tuesday morning. there was much conflicting evidence. allegations of selling boot leg liquor. gambling and hlaekmal. fights and some fast running by the retreating complaints. Afirmatinns and dcnials; iapscs of memory, code tradictOry testimony, uncertainty and idioms befogged the issue and when he evidence was all in the word pie turc was SO indistinct that even Deputy Judge Macdonald said he could not determine what happened in .ho dist ac of the affair. That there was disturbance which con- stituted q breach of the peace the court did determine. As a result of this Alfcrie and Alvin Jarvis were found guilty cf the peace breach and not guilty of count for assault. Each was fined S2 and ordered to pay The ac ual costs of S4.
 The complaints were Clayton Hub- aell 0f Wet Thomp on and his 0rolher-in-law. Alvin Bailey. Clay ton was moving about with a limp while Alvin showed evidence that he was struck near the left eye.
 Play and Lose
 It seems that the in-laws had been visiting store conducted by the Jar 'is brothers and had played a slot coming out on the wrong and ia the long run. Hubboil said he had lost twenty dollars and &C., ,used the proprietor cf not being on he level and demanding his money back. He said he was told to come lround in the afternoon. He did so but got no satisfaction as far as any refund was concerned.
 Hubbell went out of his line of testimony to tell the court, at least by strong inuendo if not by direct testimony, that the place was selling booze. He later admitted that he had been refused liquor although he demanded a half a pint, not to drink but for medicinal purposes. He also admitted, when questioned by he court. that he had threatened to inform the authorities if liquor was not sold Co him.
 Without any warning, Hubbell tes- flied, he was set upon, pushed out ,f the store and while sprawled on he sidewalk was kicked in the side. ie was able to run, however, and ook refuge in a house. After the

ANOTHER AVIATION RECORD.

The failure of Lieut.. Afford J. Williams to induce the American seapane Mercury to perform eliminated the United States from the Schneider Cup races However it is generally admitted that the English plane would have in any event. hour in the contest and it is claimed that she has a maximum speed of about 36O miles. The best that had been claimed for the American plane was 3lS miles an hour. That is lot better than a snail's pace but it would have left the plane far behind in the cup races. The English easily dis posed of the Italian competition.
 However while we should have liked to have seen the American plane in the contest where it might have taken it's beating in sportsmanike manner we cannot be denied the grim satisfaction of plainly confessng that were never within reach of winning. And cannot blame Lieut.. Williams for asking that his Government save the expense of shipping the Mercury the Atlantic with a crew of men to fly and for the craft when he knew that only defeat would result.
 The speed set by the British plane is almost beyond comprehension. It was equivalent to three hour hop from Juneau to Seattle The speed was to spare in a dawn to dark transatlantic flight. It would a little more than eight hours from San Francisco to New York.

Canadian Pacific Alaska fleet. She went down, it is believed short time after striking iceberg while bound from Skagway to the South with a large list of passengers and cargo which contained gold The amount of the latter is not known The officers of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company who investigated the matter at the time, believe the gold board the vessel to be much less than the amount which romance and legend have fix cd. The probabilities are that the gold on the ship did not exceed a quarter of a million if, indeed
 it high as that.
 However, it might be for the general good that people have credited reports that there a much larger board, for the explorations that are in progress have demonstrated that it is pos sble for divers to work at much lower depth than formerly believed possible. And the work in progress there promises the likelihood of the re- covery of the remains of those who disappeared with the ill-fated craft 28 years ago.

Rabbits for Russia.
(New York Times.)


 While Canadians experimenting with inn ported herds of reindeer for meat supplies, Russia is turning to rabbit-rasing. Meat has been scarce in Russia and farmers hesitate to invest in live stock which may be taxed confiscated by the Government The demand for more meat for Soviet workers has been great that the prob lem was considered at recent conference in Mos COW of Government representatives and agents of farmers organizations
 Since rabbits multiply rapidly and will eat many kinds of common foods it decided to establish official rabbit farm. Three million rabbits, raised from imported breeding stock, will be placed with farmers. Instructive pamphlets and motion picture reels are to be distributed to show what easy business it is to raise rabbits, and how quickly the profits roll in
 In France rabbit is prepared with many appe- tizing sauces and Ostend rabbits considered particularly fine German Hasenpfeffer is famous and American rabbit pie is a savory and satisfying dish Russian cooks will doubt discover ways of preparing rabbit meat which will appeal to the national palate
 If the rabbit crop comes up to expectations, it is planned to establish factories in which the meat will be canned, sated, made into Sausages and prepared as concentrated soup.

DEVELOPING AN OLD THEORY

The suggestion of former Attorney General George w. Wickersham that the Federal Government con- itself with interstate traffic in liquor and snug gling the border while the retail liquor problem be left to the State Government is not new. That method of procedure suggested several years ago by the late Falcon Josln of Alaska However, MT Joslin, who devoted to the principle of State Rrights was unable to get the ear of the country. If he had lived he would have seen those in high places take up his plans and carry them into effect.
 It is apparent that the swing toward bureaucracy and over-strong Federal Government has spent it. self and the reaction is again toward the simple life and government by the people who the ground

Beauty.
Bangor Commercial,)


 Sixty million women and children patronized American beauty parlors in 1928, each spending ap- proximately $650, total of $390 000000 It re- quired 170,000 men and women, including the out put of several hundred beauty culture schools to them.
 Strange how human customs and beliefs change It just few years ago that the of cosmetics was thought by large part of the populace to be vanity, if not downright immortality. In those dark ages the hairdressers duties limited to treat ments for falling hair and dandruff, her feminine patrons feeling perfectly capable of doing up their own more or less flowing and abundant locks to perfection. Had it been possible then to predict accurately the 1928 volume of the beauty -parlor trade the good villagers would have set about putting things in order for the coming of the judgment day.
 How different is the public reaction today to this statement of the cost of beautifying the Am erican woman With the exception of few old fashioned rreconcilables and bluenoses the genera tion irrespective of looks upon this expenditure of labor and money good investment.

them present, the team should,
by all laws of average, register
about zero-which it is in
very positive way.
Not in a spirit of criticism at
all, for the man may be merely
testing for his own information
the rallying power of his hurl-
ers, but it has occurred to us
that Walter johnson doesn't
jerk his faltering moundsmen
soon enough. Bucky Harris
had much the same weakness
until he rubbed up against some
of the smarter tacticians of the
game, who taught him he must
think quickly and play for one
game at a time, one inning at
a time, one batter at a time.
Johnson falls quite naturally
into his way of leaving the
pitchers to their own devices.
when he was pitching himself
he had the heart of a lion and
begged his managers to just let
him pitch to one more batter,
and, of course, now that he is
a manager himself, he is not
wont to yank those who are
hurting for him.
You may say that anyone can
sit smugly at a typewriter and
second-guess a manager, and
you are quite correct if you do
say that-but, to be specific,
from this distance it did seem
that Braxton was allowed to
stay in the box much too long
in that tense 10-inning game
which was dropped in New York
last Tuesday.
The Yankees came to the bat
in the third inning two runs
behind and they laid down their
bats at the end of the fourth
six runs to the good, Braxton
taking the punishment the mean
while. The Yanks got eight of
their ten runs in those two
innings, wining the ball game
by 10 to 9, by which figures
you can see how the score
might have been changed had
Braxton left the vicinity at
least an inning before he did.
Too, we believe that at this
tender period in the season, a
manager has a right to do many
things which are not plain to
a rank outsider, if. as we say,
for no other reason than. to de-
termine how a man stands up
under fire. But when he is
showing in almost every ball
he is pitching that he isn't
standing up. then no better
proof is needed that change
is desirable.
Were the team enough runs
ahead to do little experiment
ing with the pitchers, a differ
ent theory would be involved,
but with a team at the foot of
the standings and every game
meaning so much, any change
in the lineup is better than
standing by and seeing havoc
raised all over the place.
The Washington times., 1929-05-04

Somehow or other, those of
us who are on the fringe of
sports without actually being
part of it-that is to say, the
typewriter toilers-are not in
frequently asked "what is the
matter with your ball club ?"
with quite deal of emphasis
on the word "your."
The thrust is pardonable if it
doesn't occur more than once
day or possibly half a dozen
times week; but after the
hundredth time a strictly nom
owner sort of wearies of the
apparently very innocent pastine
of being accused of a sort of
proprietorial interest with which
a certain responsibility for the
clubs present welfare attaches.
This. then, ought to be
very good day to inform one
and all that this particular
sports onlooker has no interest
in any ball club, say nothing of
Washington's, and that goes
whether the club is on the top
rung of the ladder or just slip
ping off the bottom. With
such a declaration off our bur-
dened chest, we believe we
are better qualified to proceed
to diagnose some of the all
ments which are now and have
been besetting the local patient

We do not believe it requires
