Knife -Pistol, Newest
Fad in Racketeer
Circles

PHILADELPHIA, April ia
new kind of weapon has come TO
light. 1t looks like an ordinary
pocket knife, but it turned out
to he a 22-caliber pistol.
The pistol-knife was exhibited
to the, April grand jury by Detec-
tive Jphn Clay. of the Twentieth,
and Buttonwood Streets police
station.
The detective found the weapon
March 81 in possession of Robert
Mann, negro. He was searching
the negro following a liquor raid
on Mann's home near Fifteenth
and Brown streets. AS Clay
handled the knife. not realizing it's
possibilities, it discharged bullet
that went through two of his
fingers.
Clay believes that the pistol.
knives are being carried by many
raeketeers here. The barrel runs
through the handle of the knife.

Builders of 'Waterless'

MOSCOW, April IL Q.N.s).-
Jail doors are yawning Tor several
architects and engineers who built
a 100000 public bath house in

IRED
BY RESERVOIR
BREAKS

STAUNTON, Va, April 11.-For
the fourth time since it was con.
structed, the city reservoir, just out
side of Staunton, has broken, allow
ing the water to drain out.
The big bowl was constructed sew
eral years ago, being an important
link in the water supply Of the city.
The water, which is brought by a
pipe line fir North River gap, 25
miles away, is collected in the reser-
voir and from there distributed over
the city.
In August, 1926, just after the
reservoir was completed, it began TO
leak. After some discussion with
engineers, city. repair men I've rted
to the pudding" process-packing
wet clay around the side and lamp
ing it down. then pouring concrete
over the clay. After a short time
the big wi was again in use.
Faith Again Shaken
On Dec Der "a. 1927, the faith
of the city council in their fine new
reservoir. was again shaken, for an.
other leak appeared. Again repair
men were put to work. completing
the patching process in March, 1928.
Things went smoothly until De-
cember %, 1928, when another hole
was discovered. After some weeks
of work the break was finally
mended, and all concerned breathed
a sigh of relief.
Then came Monday morning of
this week-and the water was six
feet below level. Inspection revealed
the new break.
See Faulty Construction
1t has been noted that in no
case has a break appeared in any
of the walls or bottom which has
been patched. This gave rise to
the belief on the part OF city
officials that the original construct
ion of the reservoir was faulty.
Each break has appeared in part
of the original wall,
The reservoir was designed by
Lee H. Williamson, of the Fuller
and McClintock company, New York
engineers. Charles Chandler, of
Charlottesville, Va. was resident
engineer. while the Wilson company,
also of Charlottesville, had the
contract for the construction work.

WILL VETO BILL
FROM SENATE,
SAYS R|TCH|E

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, April IL
Governor Richie has announced he
will veto the senate bill introduced
by Senator Withgott, CD, Talbot
county, and passed by the legis-
lature, which provides for the regu-
lation of commission merchants.
More than 300 farmers and COM
mission merchants attended a hear
ing which the Governor held on the
bill Friday afternoon. The farmers
advocate signing of the BILL while
the commission merchants objected
to that part of the bill which au-
thorized the State board of agricul-
ture to investigate their books and
records at any time the members
of the board or their agents desire
to do so.
Reasons Given
In announcing his disapproval Of
the bill Governor Richie made the
following statement:
Subject to certain exceptions,
this bill applies generally to COM
mission merchants who deal in farm
products, such as vegetables, fruit,
live stock, meats, marine food prod
y
wool, hides, tobacco, etc. 1t re-
quires the commission merchants
to- secure licenses, give bond for
honest accounting and payment and
submit their business and trans
actions to the supervision and regu-
lation of the State Board of Agri-
culture or its agents or representa-
tives.
1.-THE occasion for the bill appears
to arise from the fact that in &C.
counting for the proceeds Of sales
of the produce in question, the
commission merchants do not rem
der any statement of the specific
sales made or of the parties TO
whom the produce is sold. The
commission merchants say that this
cannot be done in the case of the
produce covered by the bill, which
is largely perishable.
Farmers DistrustfuI
However this may be and
whether justly or unjustly, the fact
that no such statements are rem
dered has created a. feeling of dis
trust in the minds OF the farmers,
who feel that they frequently ddA
not receive a correct accounting for
their produce.
Il would not hesitate to sign
bill requiring commission merchants
to render whatever statements
might be necessary and practicable
to show that their accounting to
the farmers are correct But the
present bill is so far-reachine in
the authority it cOnfers and so
paternalistic in character that I do
not feel justified in giving it my
approval"

on the old board walks; arrOg-
ant two-gun officers again Of
ficiate and their old haunts,
the Crystal Palace, the Oriental
and the Can Can have been re-
surrected at the Helldorado cele-
bration which opened today for
fOur-day run.
The celebration being attended by
thousands of persons, Is in COM
memoration of the 50th anniversary
of the founding of Arizona's first
great mining camp by Ed Schieffel-
in, discoverer of the Lucky Cuss and
Tough Nut mines.
The romance and the color of
the old days are brought back by
bearded miners, dandified gamblers,
and two-gun fighters of the Wyatt
carp, Bat Masterson and Doc Hol-
liday type.
Many of the old buildings which
were the scene of Tonlbstone's rev.
elry are still standing and are be-
ing used in the celebration.
Crystal Palace Revived
At the Crystal Palace Bar. which
at one time was Arizona's greatest
saloon and gambling hall, is reen-
acted the life of the typical west
ern mining camp. Saloons, restaur-
ants, bowling alleys, pool halls, ho-
tells and stores, most of them va
can't now, were repaired ard return
iShed for the occasion.
The famous Can Can restaurant
has returned to life. The old o. K
corral again holds horses and hay
as in the day when the Earps and
the Clantons fought their death bat
tie.
The Bird Cage opera house,
which in the early days was a COM
bination saloon, dance hall and va
riety house, is again thrown open.
This show house, at one time
one of the best known amusement
halls between New Orleans and San
Francisco, was first opened in 1881
when Tombstone was the largest
city in Arizona and the center of
interest for the early day sporting
element of half dozen states. It
operated for 10 years.
Early in the COS, Joe Biganon,
then owner, locked it's doors and
moved most of the equipment to
Pearce, Ariz., which was then start
ing its Short-lived era of prosperity.
The building has been without a
tenant and has been used only as
storehouse since that time. The
boxes, stage, pictures and other e.

SURVEY SHOWS
LOCAL PUPILS
lair MINDED"

A survey started some time ago
for the purpose of Tearing what
degree of interest was being mani
tested by Nogales public school STU
dents toward music as a school
study has been completed with some
interesting disclosures. -
The survey, under the supervision
of c. E. Gaylord, music instructor
at the high school, started with a
series of illustrated lectures by him
self and Miss Ardella Paulson, tea
cher of music in the junior high
school, these being followed with
talks on the subject by Superintend-
ent of Schools A. j. Mitchell, and
Principal F.. E. Westerland
Concerts by the school orchestras
then demonstrated the different
forms of music previously explain
ed by the teachers. QueStionaires to
the number of eight hundred were
then distributed among public
school students in every grade down
to the third.
An analysis of these questionaires
disclosed the fact that fully two
thirds of the school children of the
Nogales schools are actively and in
tensely interested in the art, and
each one expressed desire to in
clude it's study in his or her course.
Of the number submitted prac-
tically one third expressed desire
for vocal training, while the re-
manning two thirds stated their pre-
ference for instrumental work div
ided about equally between the
stringed instruments, including pi-
ano and wind instruments.
The replies to the questionaires
demonstrate that Nogales is music
minded, and augers well for the
future of music study as 1t is now
being conducted in the schools.
Most satisfactory cooperation is be-
ing extended by parents of the
children, and the department is
feeling greatly encouraged to be-
lieve that the study will include, at
later date, a course in theory and
composition as well as instrumental
work
