Johnny Schiff Dead; Hero During World War

Los Angeles, Cal, March 26 d4Y An irony of fate has brought death to Johnny Schiff former featherweight boxer, and more lately known as southern Califor- nia's most popular" fight ref cree.
 Schiff, who attracted world wide attention twice during his career, died in a. hospital yester- day from an infection which fol- lowed a blow delivered to his jaw by an incensed fight fan.
 Little is known of the referees private life. None of his Los An geles associates know his age, birthplace. or early history.
 In 1912 Schiff's popularity reached it's height when he made a boxing tour of the world. Dur ing the World war he was dec oratcd personally by the King of Italy, and by representatives of three other governments, for bravery shown while driving an ambulance in the front line.

Attorney Rachln said he believed Berti was not entirely at fault but Judge Saxe held that the daughter was blameless and the mother had given the correct picture of condi- tions in the household. However, he felt that matters might be adjusted and for that reason he was willing to give Berti another chance. He inn posed a fine of s20 and costs with a suspended jail sentence of 60 days and placed him on probation. His next conviction will be followed by q long jail term, Judge Sake said.
 Charles Passinisi. 4, of 110 Hart ford avenue, pleaded not guilty to the charge of non support and the case was continued until next Tues day on request of Judge F. E. Hungcrford.
 Samuel Cassile, A. of 3S Beaver street, pleaded not guilty to the charge of non support and a con- tinuance until next Tuesday was or dcred on request of Attorney Michael A. Sexton.

complained to the police that the young woman had not returned and he had reason to believe that John- son had taken her away.
 Johnson did not remain at home long, and in the light of later de- velopments the police believe he went back to Washington, where Miss Zotter was waiting. She wrote to her brother, Frank Zotter in this city, telling him she was Respondent, and he went to Wash ington at once, hoping to bring her home, but at the address she gave in her letter it was learned that she had moved and her broth" was unable to locate her. He went to the Washington police and was advised to communicate with the lccal police, which he did upon returning.
 Girl Wanted S100
 Another letter came to him from his sister a few days ago, glvms her new address. and in this way the police located the couple. About two hours prior to receipt of the notification of the arrests, Frank Zotter received a telegram from his sister requesting him b forward s10o at once. The police advised him not to send the mon ney as the arrests were expected mo- mentarily.
 Johnson's three children range in age from three months to 2'4 years. He is well known locally.
 Romance of Kitchen Door
 Johnson is said to have become enamored of Miss Zotter while making deliveries of groceries 10 the homo where she worked as t domestic. It is said that after they became acquainted. they ire ouently went for automobile rid $ in the evening,
 Mrs. Johnson was asked by a re- porter a week ago whether she ha ] heard from her husband, whose disappearance was rumored about the neighborhood. She said she had no knowledge of his whera- about and she was doing her best to carry on for the sake of her three children. Johnson returne1 homo that same day, remained for a few hours and vanished,

 Should Not Be Deferred

1 port the Eighteenth amendment. Should Not Be Deferred The Ohioan said because prohi- bition enforcement had it's prob- lems and its difficulties should not i for a moment deter us in the on- ward march toward complete so- briety."
 Every argument for more alco- hoi is an argument for more drunk ards" he contended. Attack Government Dispensaries Washington, March 26 P,-From a general and vigorous defnse of the prohibition laws, the nations dry leaders today moved into an attack on proposals that the United States adopt a system of government Ii. quor dispensaries.
 For ammunition they turned to the operation of such a plan in Can- ada and presented as their principal witness in the house judiciary com ,mittee's hearings on repeal meas ures former high official of the Ontario privincial government, E. C. Drury.
 At the conclusion of his testimony they were ready with life insurance statistics, offered as mirroring the effects of prohibition and presented by John J. Lentz. president of the American Insurance Union and former members of the house from Ohio.
 With today's session, the drys passed the time limit originally placed on their testimony. Seven days were allotted to them, a per iod equalling that given the vets, but the committee was willing that the prohibitionists have additional time should they desire it. They had given no intimation of how much longer they wanted, but had let it be known that they were near the end of their list of witnesses.
 Time today permitting, the drys planned to present, in addition to Drury and Lentz the leaders of some of Americas temperance organiza- tions, including F. Scott Mcbride of the Anti-Saloon league, and also were prepared to present statements from Irving Fisher. Yale economist, and pr. Clarence True Wilson, gen. eral secretary of the board of tenn perance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church. P
 Executive Session
 The committee will go into execu- tive session tomorrow for the con- sideration of legislation to carry out the enforcement recommendations made early in the year by the Hoover law enforcement commis- sion. It will return to the prohibit ton inquiry soon. however, whether or not the drys want more time, as both sides are to present rcbuttal testimony.
 Mcbride last night issued state ment interpreting the action of the Maine democratic state convention in rejecting wet plank as indicat- ing a countrywide dry victory at the elections next fall provided the old political maxim "as Maine goes, so goes the naton," still is valid.

 Grand Juror Harry Webster, who prosecuted the case, stated that Rogusky was very fair and honest in his report 10 the constable, but thought that Rogusky neglected 10 use caution at this particular stretch of the highway. which is used by the school children. He recommended changing the charge from reckless driving 10 one of violation of the rules of the road.
 Judge William F. Mangan of New Britain, who represented Rogusky. stated the accident did not happen at a cross walk and that the boy did not use caution in crossing the street to observe whether cars were com- ing from either direction. Judge Nangan claimed the truck was going at a moderate rate of speed. as the skid marks testified that after the brakes were applied the car did not slide over eight feet. He also said the car did not run over the boy but did knock him down and that when the car was stopped the right front wheel was on the boy, making it necessary to back the car off in order to eXtricate the injured boy. He therefore asked for a discharge,
 Judge BarroWs found RoguskV guilty. however, of reckless driving and fined him S25 and costs. An appeal was taken of the case and bonds were fixed at s2oO.
 Constable Halleran had brought Eogusky before Justice Wells last "Wednesday night. when his case was continued until April 1.

ton which might be acceptable t> the Hoover administration.
 One of Young Guard
 Vandenberg is one of the repub- lican young guard, which group is aligned with the administration. He advocated approval of the compro- mise flexible provision as means of avoiding another general revision of the tariff.
 The senator wrote he was con- vinced that "our economic structure has become too complex to suffer the inevitable hazard and specula- tion unavoidably incident to gener- al revision in congress"
 The greatest insurance" he con- 'tlnued, against the need of another general revision is the creation of the greatest possible latitude in pro- visions for serial f1exibility. Regard less of contemporary rates, I be- lieve this bills greatest justification and its greatest service lies in its maximum expansion of the princi- pie of flexibility."
 'Vandenberg said that if forced to choose between the house bill con- tinuing administrative flexibiity and the senate measure providing for legislative f1eXibility, he would choose the former.
 Would Give Congress Power
 He proposed administrative fexi- bility for presidential use when con- gress is not in session--and sub- ordinate to subsequent congression- al veto if congress chooses to act. Secondly, legislative flexibility for congressional use when congress is in session.
 Thus he said, i've shall have fexing machinery all the way around the calendar, whether con- gress is or is not in session. Nor mally congress is in session only ten month out of 24. Therefore, legis- lative f1exibility alone is not enough. On the other hand, the house text does not permit administrative fleXi- bility to touch comm odities upon the free list. Therefore, adminis- trative fexibility alone also is not | enough.
 But if the two philosophies arc | harmonized and joined, we haye complete liexibility 13 months in | every year and thus, so far as is l humanly possible, we avoid future needs for general tariff revision. This avoidance is the greatest single service which the Shoot -Hawley bill can render to stabilize American l prosperity. It can be the bills com- plete and dominant justification"

are native and B apostolic prefects. The pope has his personal represen- tative ethere-Archbishop Celso Cos tAntini.
 The movement to place as much missionary work as possible in the hands of the Chinese themselves has steadily grown. The II native bishops are evidence of this fact. About 35,000 Chinese are engaged in teaching.
 Schools Are Scattered
 Schools as we'll as churches are Etrewn throughout the country. The American efforts are largely expend- ed in Shenchow, where there are 2S American priests. In Honeymoon and adjacent territor-, Tnere the Maryknoll missionaries, Ossining, N. Y, have 55 fathers, and in Hupeh. The three Americans who were kill ed were attached to Shenchow.
 Among the American orders rep resented are the Society of Divine Word, Techny, In,; Benedictines of Latrobe, Pa; Nincentians, Of Ger mantown, Pa; Passionists Of Union City, N. J.; St. Columban's Mission, Omaha, Neb. Franciscans of Gin cinnati, O.; Dominicans of Washing ton, D. C.; Maryknoll Missionaries, Ossining, N. Y.
 Among the American sisterhoods arc the Sisters of Charity, Francis can Missionaries of Mary, Proy- dence, R. l.; Hospital Sisters of St. Francis, Springfield, H.; Sisters of Divine Providence, St. Mary-of- Woode, Ind; Auxiliatrices Dc Pur- gatoire, St. Louis; Sisters Of Iorcto Louisville, Ky; Sisters Of St. Joseph. Baden, Pa; Little Sisters Of the Poor, Brooklyn, N. Y; MaryknoH Sisters, Ossining, N. Y.
 List Grows Recently
 It is only in the last seven years that list of slain missionaries has risen in China. The years from 1900 to 1923 were comparatively quiet, following the reaction of tha Boxer uprisings. American mission- aries share honors with the French of being third in contributing to this list The Belgians are first, with eight dead, the Italians second with four, the Americans and French tie with three each.
 Reports that come to the Propa- ganda Eide from the missionaries vary considerably as to conditions in China. Some missionaries live in serene tranquility, as safe, they say. as if they were in the United States Others, in different parts of China live in an atmosphere of momen- tary alarm.
 q The Natican's attitude that not an inch must be yielded, has met with ready response. Reports to the Propaganda Eide tell of ever far. ther-reaching efforts by the mis- sionaries to bring China out uf chaos by placing the individual citi- zen on a different basis, that Of Christianity.

the prohibition issue would find reflection in !he next state election'
 Judge Jennings decided late yes- terday that Patterson and Allen were justified in standing on their constitutional rights and refusing to testify lest their statements tend to incriminate them.
 The Hartford county grand jury investigating the liquor racket which formed the background of the alleged murdersot Alfonso Min niti by Sebastian N. Aliano in a speakeasy--fad obtained an admis- sion from Patterson that he pur- chased two lots of liquor, valued at $500 and $500 from bootlegger through a friend. He refused to disclose the middle man."
 Allen Called to Testify
 Believing Allen the friend, the grand jury summoned him for. ques- tioning. Allen refused to testify.
 The status of the grand jury's in- vestigation was uncertain today as result of the judges ruling. In re- fusing Foreman Ralph 0. Wells re- quest to order Patterson and Allen to answer questions, Judge Jennings opened the way for bootleggers- thus far the chief witnesses before the grand jury-to refuse informa- ton on similar grounds.
 Judge Jennings decision was an interlocutory ruling, from which there is no appeal.
 No Comment On Action
 After the hearing, States Attor- new Hugh M. Alcorn was asked if Patterson and Allen faced the possi- DilitY of criminal proseCution.

NUTS AND NUTTING

The American mind runs to slang,
When the word nut is used, one
thinks of some cranky person, call
ed nut" because of eccentric
tendencies. However, many of us
can recall the time when a nut was
a real nut, and the search for this
nutritious fruit was one of the joys
of autumnal life.
1t was a jolly experience in those
times to prowl through the country
sides, gathering an abundant supply
of walnuts and hickory nuts and
others hidden among the dead
leaves. Such fruit in its abundance
was common property then. Today
all such products have their value,
and it seems a mean act to steal
them. The production of nuts has
become a flOurishing business, and
cracking them before the blazing
fires on the hearth is still one of the
joys of home.

THE BEWILDERED VOTER

Many voters become completely
bewildered by conflicting claims, as
they hear the rival political orators
make the most contradictory state
ments. To hear one set of politic-
ians talk, one would think that the
opposing party had committed griev-
GUS errors which threaten to bring
the country straight to disaster,
while the opposite crowd claim that
this same party contains only the
real patriots and worthy guardians
of the rights of the people.
The failure of millions of people
to vote results from their inability to
detect the truth from the eXaggera-
ton and falsehood in all these
claims. They feel they can't tell
which is right and which is wrong,
and so in their doubt and uncertain
ty, they pass up the whole duty of
voting.
Yet it is not a difficult thing to
become intelligent on politics, and
able to analyze political bunk, and
form a rational opinion as to how
one should vote. Regular newspa-
per reading and listening to candi-
dates over the radio will do it,
