ROB POULTRY HOUSE
TWICE IN 10 DAYS
150- Pound String Of Picked Tur-
keys Taken From 10th st.
Place of Business.

Having made successful haul Of
poultry at the wholesale house of Grove
g. Price and the Simons Poultry Co., 304
Tenth street, about 10 days ago, and
apparently fully satisfied with the quail
ity of the loot, burglars last night paid
a second visit to the store and made
another haul.
On the occasion of the prior visit the
burglars gained entrance through a rear
door, helping themselves to approx
mately 5000 or $500 worth of supplies,
chiefly chickens. Iron bars were brought
into play to prevent repetition of the
burglary, and last night the intruders
gained entrance by smashing a front
window.
1t was shortly before midnight when
last nights burglary was perpetrated.
the barking of dog on the premises
attracting the attention of a nearby
resident. Examination of the premises
disclosed the taking of string Of fancy
dry-picked turkeys, picked late yester-
day and hung near the front door.
Just what other poultry the burglars
took could not be determined. The one
string of turkeys weighed approximately
$50 pounds. 1t is believed by the deal
ers that scattered poultry not so near
the door also was prey of the burglars.

AviatiOn's Disappointment

Aviation's biggest disappointment in years the
recently ended Guggenheim safe aircraft competition.
Nearly two years ago the Guggenhem fund for pro-
motion of aeronautcs announced the contest offer
ing 100000 for the winner $4,000 to every other
plane that met the minimum performance require
mentS set up by the fund. The idea to offer an
impellng nducement to aircraft engineers to bring
out absolutely safe and foolproof plane, that
could be flown by the average man.
More than thirty engineers announced plans for
entering the competition. Only fifteen OF them ever
built planes Seven of these were withdrawn. Seven
others failed to pass the rigid Guggenheim tests One
passed and automatically awarded first prize. 1t
the Curtiss Tanager bipIane.
Fundamentally it differed little from the first plane
that flew twentysx years ago. Its safety features
in the form of slots flaps and floating aerons-
merely added attachments to the regular airplane 1t
passed the tests but it safely be said that it
not quite what the engineers thought the winning
plane would be. They disappointed.
Ending of the contest leads to the rather startling
assumption that airpanes about safe right now
as they will be for time. 1t wasn't the Guggen-
helm funds fault that the contest disappoint-
ing 1t simply was that the aircraft engineers of the
world can't, or at least they didn't, build a perfect
plane.

REASON By rf nzsDis

ONCE that fire forced the President to take up his
y Office in the White House Mr. Hoover has used
the table on which Abraham Lincoln signed the
proclamation of emancipation and the cabinet meets
around table used by John Adams the second Presi-
rent but up to date nobody seems to have employed
the clothes line upon which John Adams wife Abigail
used to hang the family washing in the East ROOM
It will be interesting to see how China succeeds in
her effort to end the privilege of extra territoriaty
under which foreign nations with interests in China
have maintained their own courts in which to try
cases, involving their own people and the Chinese
OF course, if foreigners are unwilling to recognize
the courts of the country which they go get rich
then they should get out of such country.
IF any of the foreigners who come to this country
l. should inform us that they not willing to have
their cases tried by the courts of the United States
and that the countries from which they should
have the right to establish foreign courts upon amer

and grab club!
Senator Borah is right to denounce the methods OF
prohibition enforcement but his would be great
deal stronger if he to denounce the nsstence OF
of his congressional associates that they be given
the freedom of the port
The President could get great rise out of the rest
of if he would instruct the treasury department to
terminate this crooked privilege.

A Job for BOrah

The suggestion of Senator Tess of Ohio that Sen
ator Borah of Idaho be named chairman of the
projected joint commission of congress on prohibition
is an excellent
The commission, as constituted under recon-
mendation of President Hoover, would be made up
OF three senators and three representatives The
senate has approved its creation, and the house is
expected soon to do likewise.
AS other members from the upper chamber we
recommend Senator Sheppard of Texas. author of
the eighteenth amendment, and Senator Give and
Ten) Jones of Washington This trio has been most
vociferous in the current prohibition hulabaloo and
has offered vast amount of criticism and advice.
Who could be fitted better to examine the recon-
mendations of the Presidents law enforcement COM
mission and the findings of his personal agent. Ator-
ney John McNab of San Francisco?
Borah started the present teapot tempest, in fact
and gave Sheppard Jones and others the opportunity
to air their views It is unfortunate that the militant
prohibitionst Harris, of Georgia can not likewise be
included, and Fess himself. But doubtless these
omissions can be corrected by the inclusion Of some
OF the tried and true dry brethren from the house.

Independence"

The formal duties of international glad-handing
frequently lead to situations suggestive of satire.
Haiti now Is celebrating the 125th anniversary of
It's independence from France 1t naturally devolved
upon President Hoover chief executive of fellow
republic TO offer his fluctuations. He sent the follow
ing message:
"I have pleasure in extending to your exceency
(the president of HaitD and to the people of Haiti
cordial greetings on this anniversary of the inde
pendence of the republic"
We we'll may suspect the discerning HaiHans re-
ceived Mr.. Hoover's message with mixed sentiments,
seeing in 1t conception of independence.
Ordinarily, an independent people live under a Sys-
tenn of government Of their own making, elect their
own governing officials and exercise full and free
control over the public economy Of their country
Haiti now has been blessed by military occupation
by armed American forces for some fourteen years.
She is governed under a constitution drawn by
American officials General control Haiti is ex-
ercised by an American high commissioner. Haitian
economic life is supervised by an American financial
adviser.
Not for decade more have the HaitianS been
able to hold free election of their civil officers.
Those chosen in perfunctory fashion have no real
oower-
Such are the fruits of independence in Haiti after
century and quarter.

Shearer FlOps

"A fiop!" exclaimed the box Office man as he
mournfully counted the cash from the New York
lecture appearance Sunday night of the great, the
one, and the only Bill Shearer.
THE Inside Story of Ten Years of International
Intrigue Against United States Sea Power" was the
title OF the lecture. That certainly ought to knock
the country cold little advertising along that line
and Wen be able to pack the halI-so Bill and his
lecture manager figured.
AS preliminary bout. they got Rear Admiral
F1ske. famous a fire-eater.
Everything went of as advertised. Fiske ragged
UP and down the stage, denouncng a former secre-
tary of state and secretary of the navy, intimat-
ing they guilty of lies and treason. Then Bill
himself took the spotlight and doomed for an hour
against Britain and sundry American admirals and
diplomats. Britain has dominated state department
policies for twenty lve years, he yelled And so on
good show and worth the price of admission
for any one who likes that sort of thing.
But that was the trouble There were not many
who liked it. Only about 800 400 to see the
show. Meanwhile, at another hall in New York more
than 1000 turning out TO hear lecture on peace
and the League of Nations.
We sympathize with Bill in his hour of public
failure. Not that have any sympathy with his
mlitarstic propaganda his INSCRIPTIONS methods.
