against Laurence Tullock, actor and
radio studio director. whom they
have charged with first degree MUIR
der in connection with the fatal
shooting of Mrs. Gertrude Hawkins
Lavine, young divorcee, in his apart
ment yesterday.
Tulloch at first denied the shoot
ing, maintaining that he was out of

fired, but finally admitted that he
accidentally" killed the woman, ac'
cording to police.
Mrs. Lavine was found in dying
condition in the apartment of Tul-
loch and William Whittle, insurance
man, in 4 Bohemian section of San
Francisco, yesterday.
1--WE were discussing firearms"
Tulloch said, "and l went to a draw
er and got my revolver to illustrate"
"She was curious about how it
worked and l started to show her
how it was loaded"
"Let me see it, she said, "and
raised her arm to take the gun. She
moved more quickly than l expected
and somehow the revolver went off"
"Before God 1 had no intention of
killing her." Tulloch dramatically
concluded his statement.
William Hawkins, brother of the
woman mentioned in the above dis
patch, and pilot for Los Angeles
airplane company, landed at the
county airport shortly afternoon yes
terday.
A message telling of his sisters
death had preceded him here and
was delivered to him by James Il.

mystery to him.

COURTS RULING
ON PROHIBITION
UNDER DISPUTE
Judge Declares Failure
To Report Liquor Viola
ton Is Felony.

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. W.H-
Prohibition officials and leaders of
dry organizations disagreed today
over the importance of decision by
Federal Judge Louis Fitzhenry of
Peoria, ILL.,, holding that one who
fails to report liquor law violations
is o felon.
James J. Britt, chief counsel of
the prohibition bureau, said he be-
licyed the federal government never
would attempt to enforce by law the
moral obligation of citizens to report
violations of the prohibition law al
though he considered Fitzhenry's de-
cision legally correct.
DIR. Clarence True Wilson, secre-
tary of the Methodist Board Of Tent
perance, Prohibition and Public
Morals. on the other hand, said he
believed the decision would be gem
orally accepted by the courts. Fitz.
henry has made "a real contribution
ia the enforcement Of prohibition"
kc added.
"Judge Fitzhenry's decision, while
apparently legally correct" Britt
said, ais based on law passed
about the time Of the alien and Sc
dition statues and is no longer con-
sidered applicable to present day
conditions. There were many severe
laws passed in those days which are
no longer enforced.
"There is, however, a moral duty
resting on the citizen to report vio-
lation of law that comes to his at.
t,ntion. l do lot believe the fed
cral government will ever attempt
TO enforce this moral mandate by
law"
Upholds Judge
Wilson pointed out that the gov
ernment has been making an excep-
tion of the prohibition law in not
Furnishing the purchaser as we'll as
the seller of liquor.
1--WE have made the mistake of
exempting the buyer and only pun
ishing the seller" he said, "thus
making the prohibition law excep-
cy now to stiffen up the .Volstead
law by making the Duyer equaliy
culpable with the seller.
81 think Judge Fitzhenry is right
in his decision and that it will be
generally accepted by our courts"
Senator Sheppard, Democrat, Tex
as, co-author of the prohibition law,
welcomed Judge Fitzhenry's decision
but said he favored enactment of
a law making the opinion effective.
"The decision is in line with my
bill to make the purchaser equally
as guilty as the seller but my bill,
if passed, would clear up the un-
certainty in prosecuting the buyer"
Sheppard said.
'Inasmuch as decisions of this
kind are merely opinions of judges,
it will be necessary to enact specific
legislation under which to prose.

Still tagging behind, but showing
some Improvement as result of
yesterdays activities, the fund for
the Red Cross roll call was reported
this morning to be in the neighbor-
hood of $500 or slightly less than
one-third the quota of $1,000 set
for this city.
Workers on the various teams
from the service clubs and civic or
Sanizations have not as yet COM
pleted solicitations in the business
section of the city, and those in
charge of the campaign hope that
when they have done so, the goal
will not be far off.
In ease the sum desired has not
been reached by tomorrow night,
the campaign will be held over un-
til next week and an intensive drive
will be started to obtain the re-
quired sum.
The Red Cross plans to keep =
permanent worker here in the val
ley and hopes to operate an employ
mont bureau. Funds for these pur-
poses will be provided if the people
respond to the present call.

Mr.. Hepps evidently missed this
