Filipino Saved
From Angry Mob

Police were called upon to rescue
Pasquale Rabara, % year old Fill
rino, after his automobile struck
and perhaps fatally injured Mrs.
Rosa Reyes, 2s year old Mexican
woman. last night.
Neighbors Of the victim swarmed
around Rabara's machine, which was
cvertaken two blocks from where the
accident occurred.
Although Rabara's police rescuers
had difficulty in holding off the
irate friends of Mrs. Reyes, the Fill.
ipino youth was not injured.
Rabara was taken to the police
station and booked on a charge of
suspicion of hit and run. The officer
who made the arrest told the United

onstration had any racial element.
but thought it was an outburst
which Mrs. Reyes neighbors would
have directed at anyone under the
excitement of her injury.

Discovery That U. S. To
Demand Battleship Un-
covers Secrecy
SECRETARY SILENT
Curtly States Conference
Not To Be Turned Into
Debating Society
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Feb. 1O.-U.H-The
United States has proposed to Great
Britain that America be permitted
to build one new battleship equal
to the British battleship Rodney, it
was learned today Oh highest auth
ority.
The proposal was made in the re-
cent memorandum outlining lie
United States position and needs.
The Rodney, completed in 1927,
is 35,900-ton ship, oil burning and
armed with nine 16-inch guns, l2
6-inch guns, six 4.7-inch guns, al.
% smaller weapons.
No American vessel is as heavily
armed.
The American suggestion contem-
plates the scrapping by Japan of
one batleship, by Great Britain of
five, and by the United States of
three-with the provision that a
fourth older ship, such as the Ar.
kansas, for instance, could be re-
placed by a new bartleship of the
Rodney type.
The Arkansas and Wyoming were
bailt in 1912, all are armed with
y 12-inch guns, 16 5-inch guns anl
= 3-inch guns.
Suppressed III Summary
This suggestion was contained in
the draft of the American proposal
submitted to the British and Japan
csc, but the suggestion Of the New
American battleship to replace
discarded vessel was suppressed in
the summary made public by Henry
l.. Stimson last week.
The United Press learned authori-
tatively that it is not planned to
revive the order in which BRITISH
ships will be scrapped under the
terms of the Washington treaty, but
that the British will be expected to
go straight down the line in their
scrapping program, beginning with
their older ships.
Until confirmation of reports
that America would seek to build
one new battleship was obtained TO-
day, it had been assumed every
where that the United States would
be the last of the powers to pro
pose building any new ships Of that
type.
In Stimson's statement to the
public he made no reference to this
proposal, and the inference that
there would be no such suggestion
was drawn everywhere until the
terms vt his secret provision leaked
from other quarters.
Disregard Circular
Confirmation of the proposal to
add one battleship to the American
navy was obtained in official cir.
cles only after most energetic pro-
tests to Stimson against the policy
of secrecy.
Stimson curtly declined to deny
or confirm the reports, declaring
"we re not going to turn this into
q debating society,"
The information was then OBJ
tanned from other officials, in spite
of a written circular issued by
Stimson, requesting that no one at
the American headquarters discuss
the matter.
1t is known that there has been
a vigorous protest from within the
delegation to Stimson, regarding
failure to take the American public ;
into his confidence.

PAPER EXPOSES
BIG CONSPIRACY
IN LIQUOR RING

CHICAGO, Feb. 10. W.n) - A
copyrighted story in the Chicago
Herald and Examiner today said
that the biggest liquor conspiracy
in prohibition enforcement history,
involving more than $50 persons who
operated in cities from New York
to Los Angeles and sold $50, 600, 900
worth of alcohol diverted from gov.
crnment sources. had been uncovered
by special federal investigators
working out of here.
The story predicted congression-
al investigation.
Alexander G.. Jamie, chief of the
special government agents, was
named as the man mainly response.
bic for disclosing the conspiracy. He
had been working on the case last
July, it was said.
The Herald and Examiner quoted
government agents as saying they
had traced 100000 gallons of al
cohol diverted by the syndicate to
Chicago and New York alone and
that other shipments went to Kansas
City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and
other large cities.
Investigators were quoted as de.
claring that an alcohol shipment by
n drug company of New York to a
former Bulgarian chemist who start.
cd disinfectant and chemical com.
ranies here, led to discovery of the
ring.
ain 1929" the story said, "the
chemist was credited with discover.
ing the formula for extracting the
essential oils from hair tonics, per
fumes, etc. Previously bootleggers
had found it possible to extract
government denaturants easily
enough by distillation but had never
attained satisfactory results in try
ing to remove the flavor from con-
coctions advertised to grow hair and
add allure to milady's makeup.
"Firms suddenly sprang into being
as pcrfumery plants, obtaining per-
mits for the withdrawal of alcohol
from government licensed stations.
In many of these the chemist serv.
ices are said to have been in demand
professionally"
The story goes on to say that as
soon as the federal investigators
satisfied themselves as to the reason
for the chemists sudden rise to
wealth, they turned to the drug
company in New York and found
that its head was n Chicagoan who
left here in 1927 following six
months sentence for prohibition
law violation.

Chicago Unable
To Rasie Money

CHICAGO, Feb. 10 UP) - The
flour in the bin was little lower
ard the coal pile in the basement
was little smaller in the average
Chicago employees home today and
still there was no hope of getting
pay for the last six weeks of service.
Efforts to sell some $7J,000,000 in
tax aticipation warrants had failed
here and in New York. Chicago's
promise to pay appeared to be poor
collateral.
Even if the deals 90 through, it
appeared certain the city and the
school board would have to sell at
I substantial discount, adding to the
mountain of debt that already
amounts to some S300,000,000.

ENFORCEMENT
APPROPRIATION
TO BE PASSED
Drys Will Not Seek For
More Money Because
of Transfer Bill
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. W.R-
The s33,000,000 appropriation for
prohibition enforcement was main
tanned in the treasury department
appropriation bin reported today by
the Phipps subcommittee to the
senate appropriations committee.
Drys of the senate, who last year
succeeded in raising the appropria
ton, decided to make no effort to
alter the present appropriation in
view of the proposed transferal of
enforcement from the treasury to
the justice department..
The transfer bill passed the house
late Saturday and will be taken to
the senate today. No extensive
hearings are planned. 1t will be re-
ferred to the judiciary committee,
controlled by drys, and probably re-
ported for senate consideration in
the same form in which it passed
the house.
Some drys, like Senator Harris,
Democrat, Georgia, believe prohibi-
tion enforcement has suffered due
W ldfh VI
funds. They do not believe the
amount now recommended will be
sufficient to enforce the law under
the Justice department, but they
want the transfer bill to go through
unimpeded and would like to see how
it works out before they try boost
ing the appropriation.
Later Harris may propose an in
crease of 50,000.000 or more, but he
is content now to let the treasury
recommendation for expenditures
stand.
Vets have made elaborate prepar
ations for hearings, which are to be-
gin before the house judiciary com
mittec Wednesday, on seven bills
and resolutions to modify and re-
peal the 18th amendment.
The tariff bill. which is the un
finished business of the senate, pro-
voked considerable general debate
during the last few days because of
the attitude of the eastern Rcpubli-
cans, resentful at the changes in ex
isting rates made by the independ-
.nt Republican Democrat coalition.

TRUE ENOUGH
(The AIa Skan)

The Alaskan agrees with the Gateway in it's cry to patronlze home industry" but goes a step further.
 When will the press awaken to the reason for mail orders from Alaska?
 The smaller the earning of re- sident fishermen, the more mail orders going outside. Resident bus mess is aiding in the cutting of it's own throat So long as it does not stand back of the fishermen in their demand for cultural wage.
 A man with family of four to support certainly will not spend S25 for shoes with resident bus mess men when he earns only $50 during a whole summer of labor. The $25 looks just as big to him as $25O probably looks to the business man. When the re- sident fisherman earns more. he ds more locally. When he
 less, he sends outside to cor porations that do not contribute to the immediate wealth of the Territory. B
