LAW Is BLAST
Al RUM TRADE
Minor VioIatorS of Dry Act,
However, Are Not in
Serious Peril.
BIZ Tim es sDeciat

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 26.-The
Jones "fiye and ten" law, which is
causing such worry among boot
leggers and their customers, has ten
lines and Isl words. 1t is one of
the shortest and simplest major bills
ever enacted by congress.
Its only effect is to increase the
maximum penalties for those major
violations of the prohibition act
specifically forbidden in the eight
zenith amendment - manufacture,
s-Esie, transportation, importation, or
expectation of intoxicating liquor.
Under the new act any person
convicted of violation coming I'M
der the above classifcations may
be fined up to $4,000 and impris-
cned for not more than five years
for each offense. Former maximum
penalties for manufacture or sale
we're up to $1,000 fine and not to
exceed six months imprisonment
for the first offense, and up to
$1,000 fine, and five years in jail,
for a second offense.
Minimum Still Possible
The new act does not disturb
these penalties. A judge still may,
if he chooses. impose the minimum
sentence on an offender. But he
may also, even on first offense, give
the heavier penalties of the Jones
act.
The man with a quart of illegal
whisky in his cellar is in no greater
danger than he was formerly for
possession.
Senator Wesley L. Jones of Wash
ington, author of the act, said it
CARNATIONS we all know have been
and are being organized throughout
the country to make money out Of
violations"
He gave as an instance the case
of a Chicago alderman, just con-
yicted. after having organized a S.
100000 company to engage for
profit in systematic violation of the
prohibition law"
Former penalties were too light,
Jones argued, to deter offenders in
this class, and we're being taken as
necessary hazards of the business.
Law Is Strained
The government has tried to reach
these bigger offenders by indicting
them for conspiracy, with its greater
penalties, but in the words of Mrs.
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assist

OIL CARS WILL
MEET AND PLAN
CUT IN OUTPUT
Drastic Curb on Waste to
Be Demanded at Farley

BIZ Tim es Special

BB Times Special
WASHINGTON, March 26.--Far-
reaching plans for reducing private
production of oil on the Western
Hemisphere will be presented TO
the American Petroleum institute in
New York Wednesday in the first
step the industry has taken to set
its house in order.
The program was adopted at a
recent meeting Of oil representatives
at Houston, and according to George
Otis Smith, who attended the Texas
meeting as unofficial observer for
the Federal Oil Conservation board.
it marks an important victory for
the governments four-year fight
to save these national resources
from further waste.
It is directly in line with the ex-
ample set by President Hoover re-
garding oil on the public domain,
according to Smith, director of the
geological survey and the boards
oil adviser.
The agreement for curtailment of
production, which is expected to be
approved both by the Institutes
executive committee at the New
York meeting and by the federal
board, contem plates restriction of
1929 production to the 1928 total of
about 90O,000,000 barrels. AS this
years output already is running
ahead of last years by about 10000
600 barrels a month, the saving for

prohibition enforcement, the con-
spiracy statute had been strained
beyond all reach" in trying to PEN
alize the big bootleggerS.
Because of the fear that certain
federal judges would take the law to
be a congressional mandate to go
the limit in assessing penalties upon
all offenders technically coming un-
der it's scope, and because certain
wet senators showed that many
major crimes are not visited by
penalties as severe as those under
the Jones act, the senate adopted
the following provision:
THAT it is the intent Of congress
that the court, in imposing SEN
fences hereunder, should discrimi-
nate between casual or slight VIOLA
lions, and habitual sales of in
toxicating liquor, or attempts to
commercialize violations of the law"

What is regarded as an amazing

BERKELEY, Cal, Sept 26.-With one great cyclonic cry the 75,000 spectators at the Georgia Tech California game yelled Hes crazy; he's running the wrong way" when Roy Riegels ran 75 yards to within one foot of his own goal line. Riegels, center and captain elect of the California team, who con- tributed the colossal blunder that defeated his team and assured him a permanent place among the goats" of sport, is hard at work now to prove just how smart one can be and still be crazy"
 Nibs Price, coach of the Golden Bears, counts on Riegels as the big man on his 1929 team.
 "If it were anyone else but Rie- gels" said Price, T might be doubt full about the rest of his career.
 But Roy has the real stuff in him: he has adopted the right at titude and will be better than ever this year
 Tt takes courage to come back after a break like that ard Roy has plenty of it.

Mystery >hroudS the finding of a
mutiatcd skeleton Of a Young wo-
man unearthcd yesterday in Mann
moth wash near inland by Coroner
b. f. Lemons, Deputy Shcrffs c.
Poole and George Young and City
Marshall Ike Holmes of Calipatria. p
The remains of the woman, who is
believed to be a murder victim, were
first discovered Sunday by pros
pcctor, who notified Calipatria po-
lice. y search followed Immediately
bu the skeleton was not found until
yesterday. Officials believe the
body lay in the shallow grave for
four or five years.
The bones were discovered in the
side of a ravine about one and a
half miles north of railroad bridge
across the wash. The prospcctor :
attention was called to the grave by
foot rejecting from the sand.
Nothing WAS found about the shal-
low grave to give authorities any
clue to the identity of the woman
The top of the skull and other parts
Of the body had been eaten away by
marauding wolves or coyotes but the
lower jaw had been preserved.
There was only Il small shred of
cloth found in the grave. The body
had been thrust into the bare sand
with no protection of any kind
against the clements.
NO other marks were found upon
the skeleton which might lead to a
solution of the manner in which the
woman met her death.
\ physician examined the lower
Jaw bone and teeth. which were per
fcctly preserved, and declared them
to have belonged to a woman about
~ or p years old Several strands
of fine light brown hair, which bore
unmistakablc signs of having been
marcclled, also were found in the
grave.
\ thorough investigation of the
mystery was launched today from
the sheriff's office here and by
Coroner Lemons. There is no record
of an msolvcd murder case which
might involve the finding of the
woman 5 skeleton, at the sheriff 5
office.
When the search for the skeleton

might lead to the discovery of the
