Reindeer Herds for Canada.

The success Of the reindeer industry
in Alaska has spurred the Canadian
government to the point of making
some investigations concerning the pos
sibilities of inaugurating a great rein
deer industry in that country. Two
brothers, Porslid, of Denmark have
been for two years traversing the north
country and have covered thousands OF
miles BY boat, horse and dog team and,
while their report is yet to be made, 1t
IS generally accepted that they will
favor the proposition. Their prelim-
mary report, made some time ago,
seemed to indicate the feasibility Of the
proposition, as they indicated early in
their work one or two locations which
would supply grazing land for a great
herd OF animals. It is presumed that
they have located other similar spots.
The industry has already attracted pri-
vate interests, but these have been small
ventures compared with the one which
the government will launch. One OF
these enterprises has failed, but the
failure is attributed to poor manage
ment and an tll-advised selection for
the site, which did not offer sufdcient
grazing land.

the Cleveland clinic disaster, the editor
Of the London, England, Sketch and
the editor Of the London Daily News
telephoned newspaper men here for adj
ditional information.
T. A. Robertson, managing editor of
the Cleveland News, yesterday talked for
IS minutes to the editor of the London
Daily News, 1000 miles away.
The British editors spoke the same
language. but they had hard time
understanding the American newspa-
per man, especially after his words had
trickled all the way across the Atlantic
Ocean.
&. But the Londoners finally got the
details they were after.
"Horrible!" said one of the London
editors. "Shocking!" said the other.
Other condolences were sent by
Britons. Talking to Jhon d. Marshal,
mayor of Cleveland, by telephone. the
lord mayor of London asked him:
please convey to the sufferers the con-

to aid you"
The editor of the London Daily

your misfortune

RAIDERS MAY
Be INDICTED
Husband Of Slain Woman
Asks Action Against
Trio Al Once

AURORA, Ill, March 27.-P-
Joseph Deking, through counsel. to-
day demanded that immediate action
be taken against county dry raiders
for the Staying of his wife.
His attorney, Robert A.. Milroy,
called upon states attorney Car
mary to move promptly to place re-
sponsibility for the shooting of Mrs.
Decking at her home Monday night.
The tragedy will not retard the
states attorneys campaign to dry
up Kane county, Carbary said.
The legality Of the raid on the
Decking home is the crux Of the en-
tire affair, Deking's counsel said. If
the raiders acted without a proper
search warrant, the lawyer insisted,
then Deking was within his rights
in ordering the deputy sheriffs from
the house at the point of two pistols.
They had a John Doe warrant.
Mrs. Decking was shot by Deputy
Sheriff Roy Smith as she ran to
her husband, felled by a blow from
Smiths weapon when he resisted ar
rest. Smith said he fired believing
Mrs. Decking intended to shoot him.
States Attorney Carbary said he
would present the facts to the grand
jury. but expressed opinion the
shooting was justified IN grounds Of
SeIf-defense.

CITRUS SHOW
PLAN OF LIONS
Brownsville Goodwill Tour
Of Valley Also Proposed
At Luncheon

Discussion OF plans for a Valley
citrus exhibit at the Lions interna-
tional convention to be held at
Louisville, KY, in July, and the
endorsement of a Brownsville good
will tour of thu Valley some time
in the near future featured the
regular meeting of the Lions club
held Tuesday noon at the Altlnca
tea garden.
The goodwill tour. sponsored by
the American Legion bugle and
drum corps, was brought up by w.
r. Kiekel. The plan Is for a rep
resentative group of business men
to visit all Valley cities in a deco
rated motorcade, aided by demon
STATIONS at each point by the bugle
and drum corps. A committee COM
posed of w. A. Darling, chairman,
Edmund H. Levy and Ed Taylor
was appointed to work with COM
mittees from other service clubs to
lay plans for the tour.
Leaders in the move for the cit
rus exhibit pointed out that the
California delegation put on d
similar exhibit with success at the
last international convention. The
Lions will seek cooperation Of the
Valley chambers of commerce in
the project.
The attendance at the session
was nearly 100 per cent, as mem
bers rounded up in the BLACK
Maria"
To give a novelty twist to the
meeting, all bushes was conducted
backward. 1t opened with the clos
ing song and the meal began with
the desert. The Tail Twister, who
imposes fines, assessed one member
a penalty for a song he did not
sing but the backward" novelty
rebounded on him and the Tail
Twister was forced to pay the fine.

U. S., ENGLAND
CLEAR TREATY
Sinking Of I'm Alone May
Lead To Interpretation
Of Rum Pact

WASHINGTON, March 27.-(R-
Differences between the United
States and Great Britain over inter
probation of the 1924 rum-smuggline
treaty are likely to be clarified as
one outcome of the sinking of the
| Canadian schooner I'm Alone zoe
miles off the Louisiana coast Friday
by an American patrol boat.
Pending study of complete official
reports. no formal action is expected
either in the form of a protest OF
| overtures looking toclarification OF
the rights of the coast guard to
search, seize and pursue suspected
rum runners found within one
hours sailing distance of the Amer
lean shore.
In the meantime, official and dip
lomatic circles are considerably in
terested in the possible courses
which action might take, and some
observers who have followed the un-
official reports of the incident see
in them the germs of differences
which could lead to the necessity of
arbitration. At least, in the opinion
of state department officials, the
case involves technicalities which
call for the skill Of international
lawyers.
Only a few changes are needed to
make the rum smuggling treaty
more effective, as Rear Admiral F. C.
Billiard, commandant of the coast
guard, views the situation. These,
he suggests, might include an agree
ment under which the government
would require ships using their ports
to furnish proof that their cargoes
were delivered at the points desig-
mated in their clearance papers.

LEVEES NEAR QUINCY
HOLDING RIVER BACK

QUINCY, Ill, March 27.-P)-The
levees protecting thousands of acres
of farm lands had won at least a
temporary victory today after the
Mississippi river had fallen half a
foot in "a hours.
Following a week of the highest
water stage in recent years, the
walls still stood, except for the break
which caused the flooding Of the
Indian Grave district. The danger
was by no means over, but the re-
duction in pressure, due to the low
water level, gave better chance for
strengthening the dikes and for
stopping leaks.
