Liquor Seller

Ray Scruggs, 40, of IA West Lin
coin street, Calexico, is a wiser but
sadder man today than he was yes
terday. Wiser, because he has had
an opportunity to learn that appear
ances are ofttimes dcceitful and
that one can never Judge by an in
nocent smile just what may lie be
hind the same. Still one can hardly
blame him when Eddie Nett, head
.iailer at the county jail approached
him with n five dollar bill in his
hand and disarming smile on his
lips and in n confidential whisper
and nod asked for a wee drop of
merry mucilage. A few passes OF
the hand and pint bottle of al
legged MN. was on the counter and
the $5 had disappeare dinto Scrugg's
pocket. 1t was then that Deputy
Sheriff Young took his cue and did
his stuff. The marked bill was
found and with it 10 pints more of
m.m,, or whatever you wish to cal
it.
This morning before Judge May
field, Scruggs pleaded guilty to the
double charge of possessing and OF
selling liquor. Sentence will be

WASHINGTON, Mar. II. U.P)-
The law enforcement commission
has found that the federal person

proving Chairman Wickersham told
the senate judiciary committee to-
day in a secret session.
Wickersham told the senator's who
are discussing plan to investigate
the enforcement unit, he saw no
reason why congress should not in
vestigate it if it desires.
Those senators who are sponsor
ing the Norris resolution for the in
quiry accepted Wickersham's state
mcnt as an endorsement of the reso-
luton, but those who are opposing
the inquiry interpreted it to mean
no injury was necessary.
During a brief recess, Wicker
sham gave newspapermen the first
interview he has give nsince he be
came head of the commission eight
months ago. In this review he re
vealed his expectation that it would
require another year for the com

DepOsed Head of Spanish
Government Dies An
Exile In Paris.
WAS iron RULER
Political Enemies Join
Friends In Paying Tri-
butte To Deceased.
BY RALPH E. HEINzEN
United Press Staff Correspondent


PARIS, Mar. II. W.H-Spaniards
of every walk of life, many Of them
sworn enemies of the six year dicta-
torship of Miguel Primo de Rivera,
today flocked to the little hotel on
the left bank of the Seine to pay
tribute to the man who died yester-
day, six weeks after he laid down
his power.
The body of the former dictator,
who died in exile here, lay on the
death bed of his apartment. He
wore the brown robes of the order
of Carmelite monks, to which he SUBJ
scribed as layman. This is per-
mitted by Spanish custom.
Two nuns constantly prayed by
his bedside, while candles were
massed around the bier.
The body will be removed at once
to Spain, and burial will be in the
family vault at Gerez, near Seville,
in accordance with his request.
The exile of De Rivera, whose
iron hand had upheld the Spanish
throne for six years, was brief.
Strangely enough, it bore out pre-
diction he made sadly when he ar
rived in Paris. 81 shall never see
my beloved Spain again." he said to
United Press staff correspondent.
But he refused to amplify his state
ment.
De Rivera had suffered severely
from influenza in the past week,
and his heart was believed weakened
hxr u II = L %
given evidence of severe heart
strain Thursday.
So completely had the general
seemed to recover from his influenza
that his personal physician, DR.. AL
berto Bandelac de Pariente, planned
to take him to private sanitarium
at frankfurt, Germany, to give him
continued treatments for diabetes.
Was To Meet Friends
At 9 a. M, Sunday, his two daugh-
ters, Carmen and Pillar, and his Sec
ond son, Miguel, visited his room in
the Hotel Pont Royal, and found
their father busy with voluminous
correspondence that had piled up
since his illness. He had even plan
ned on meeting more than 100 of his
friends in the afternoon, at an in
formal reception.
The two daughters went out to
mass, while the son left the hotel for
a walk, returning about an hour
later.
On going to his fathers room,
Miguel discovered the former dicta-
tor leaning back against his pillow
as if in a coma The Dhvsician WAS
called and pronounced him dead.
Evidently an attempt to walk
brought too hard strain upon the
heart, resulting in the blood clot that
caused death.

PROHIBITION TO
PLAYLEAD ROLE
IN FALL VOTING

WASHINGTON, Mar. II. W.H-
Prohibition will play more import
ant part in the coming congressional
elections than in any since the 18th
amedment was adopted, in the opin-
ion of political leaders here.
Already it has taken the leading
place in the key state of Massachu-
setts where former Senator William
M. Butler, former chairman of the
Republican National committee, has
lust declared he stands with Presi
dent Hoover against modification.
Preparations are being made by
wet and dry groups to force every
candidate for the house and senate
on record as to prohibition and mod
ification. Some who have been able
to ride through one campaign after
another avoiding prohibition as an
issue are likely to be forced on rec
ord now.
The result is that the conoression
elections this wear are expected to
be as much in the nature of a refer
endum on prohibition as is possible
under the American political sys-
tenn.
In every election for the last 10
years drys have worked systematic
ally to increase their strength in
congress. They have seen it rise
slowly until it is more than three
fourths dry nominally. Despite the
agitation of vets, drys are at their
highest peak in congress.

MOBILE DEFENDS
HIS CONDUCT IN
ITALIA DISASTER
Commander of Ill-Fated
Dirigible Says Report
Is Not Accurate.

ROME, March II. W.P-General
Umberto Mobile, commander of the
fatal polar dirigible Italia, today
revealed to the United Press a part
of his defense against the official
criticism levelled against him by the
Italian board that investigated the
disaster.
Mobile is preparing detailed
answer to the charges, the most
damaging of which was his alleged
outstanding" of the Italia at the
moment of the dirigible's crash.
"In the report" said Mobile, at
is suggested that the order was Civ
Ell by the commander to force the en-
gines after, or at the most, con-
temporaneously with, the order to
free the ballast chain.
"This is absolutely false" ex-
claimed the general. "Such move
would have been incredibly stupid.
The real sequence of the orders Civ
en- me was as follows. As soon as
l was Informed that the airship was
heavy l ordered the two engines
that were running to be forced, and
the third motor started. After
ward, having observed that it was
impossible to arrest the fall of the
airship dynamically, I gave orders to
stop the engines, and at the same
time to let down the ballast chain"
at was my duty even after the
fall, to recall every single incident
that led to the catastrophe, which
was due to ice forming on the shell
and a possible escape of gas. The
others had no reason to bother about
it, after the fall occurred. They
were naturally busy with other
things, but wounded as / was, my
mind was alert, fixing all the de-
tails of the catastrophe as was my
duty as commander"
With regard to the suggestion
made in the official report on the
'1talia" disaster, that Mobile kept
away from the front during the
war, the general pointed out to the
United Press correspondent that he
was what is known in Italy as a
"riformator," that is man judged
unfit by the military medical Off
GERS to take part in front line serv-
ice. The general offered himself, in
spite of this, to the military author
tiles in any capacity and asked,
moreover, to be sent to the front.
but the authorities told him he
would be more valuable at the aeron-
autical construction department in
Rome.
General Mobile complained that
the official report was full of mae
curacies and falsifications of the
truth.
