the sale of ginger ale with the knowl- edge that it is to be used in mixing drinks with liquor is conspiracy to violate the law.

Scngle, dry administrator upon his return to Hartford tomorrow.
 A decision to act in the matter he intimated would rest with Sengle. He refused to reveal the names Of places where his men saw ginger ale being served.

 "Anxiously. but with relentless denunciation,' Parker said, 'oul people inquire of each other what i' 1 the form and what the phrase of any i law Of this republic of ours alleged : to justify such violence?
 Ut may be true that officers 0 i the law are justified in using ncCcs | sary and reasonable force to scCur' the apprehension of persons com hitting misdemeanor or crime. hu

Five IiOuOr Deaths

New York, Jan. (Pt-Liquor was blamed by hospital physicians today for death of one woman and four men as an aftermath of the New Years celebration here. Hospitals treated @ cases of alcoholism.
 The bodies of the woman and one of the men were found by police on Brooklyn streets. An autopsy was ordered in the case Of a man who died in his home to determine whether he had been killed by poison liquor. One other died at home and the fourth man succumb- cd at Bellevue hospital.
 The number of persons admitted to hospitals suffering from effects of ovcr-indulgcnce in alcoholic bever- ages was 2S more than were treat cd a year ago and Al more than New Years Day, 1928. Six of the 35 cases at Bellevue were pronount- cd acute, one man was in a state Of coma and physicians said his con- dition was critical. One of the acute cases was a 20 year old girl taken from q night club.
 Crowds More DisOrderIy Police officials said the New Years eve crowds were moro dis orderly, destructive of property and harder 10 handle than ever before, Hotels, restaurants and night clubs said business had been at ca pacity volume. In many places the celebration continued until after daylight.
 No records of arrests for drunk enness were tabulated, but police ! estimated the number was light. Only eight cases of disorderly con- duct were on the docket in Tombs court where City Magistrate Adolph stern said the list was the shortest ne could remember for New Years Day.

 Cappcr Urges Probe
 Senator Capper of Kansas. anoth- CT republican dry leader, also has called for a thorough Investigation Of the industrial alcohol system and there is every indication that Presi- dent Hoover shares in the view that this problem is one demanding an overhauling.
 Administration of the industrial alcohol permits comes under the treasury department. and more par tiCularlY under Assistant Secretary bowman and Prohibition Director Doran. In his rganization of the prohibition enforcement machinery, Mir, Hoover has proposed to con- tinuo this phase of prohibition in the treasury,
 Assurance was given by Senator Jones that the law enforcement commission would complete it's study of prohibition before July and that tho commission has agreed unanimously not to pass judgment upon the "unwisdom' of the 18th amendment itself.
 The Washington senators divided the commissions work into two phascs enforcement and law enforcemcnt-gen with several problems in each phase" Jones Glad Of Decision II have conferred with several members Of the commission" said Senator Jones, 'I am glad to learn that the commission is unanimous that the wisdom or unWsdom of thc 1 ] Sth amendment is not involved in l their work: that it is a part of the | constitution and that the function i of the commission is to devise the i best means possible for it's enforce | mcnt.

The bill provides further that except
where the governing board of the dis
trict prints and distributes the statement
and budget in pamphlet form, the state
ments shall be printed by the county
board of supervisors and paid for out of
the general fund.
Finally, the bill directs that the state
ment shall be published once in a news
paper of general circulation printed
within the district, or if there be no such
newspaper, then in the nearest newspap-
er of general circulation published with
in the county.
By means of this bill the public will
have no difficulty in finding out just how
much it costs to operate their schools and
who receives it. The statements must be
itemized showing each expenditure ae-
cording to form of budget prescribed for
school districts
There have been times when ascertain
ing Just how much a school board has
spent, or how much it will need, has been
difficult matter. No good reasons eX-
ist why the people who pay the bills
should not have all the information they
may desire on the public monGa that is
being spent Refusal to give such infor-
mation justifies the belief that all is not
as it should be with expenditures.
The new law will prevent any such re-
Elections on school boards that are doing
their full duty toward the taxpayer and
at the same time will force high handed
school officials who consider it impertin-
ent to ask them about school money, to
show just what they are doing and why.

THE COUNCIL SHOULD RULE

In urging voters of El Centro to sup
port the Zurcher-Girard ticket at the city
election on April IA, the Press is conf
dent that it is presenting two men who
will give the city their best services,
based solely on what they believe to be
for the good of FL Centro.
The confidence imposed in them by
those who have done business with them
right here in this city for years is the
best guarantee that they will give to the
public's business the same careful atten-
ton and conscientious effort which have
made their respective businesses out
standing successes.
AS stated in this column earlier in the
week, there is only one issue before the
people-the election of two city council
men.
Attempts to befog the minds of the
voters with side issues which are not par
amount to the best interests of the city
are being made
Ire Press refuses to recognize the mat
ter of retaining the chief of police or the
city engineer as having any bearing on
the city election. Why these two en-
ployees any more than the superinten
dent of the water works or the fire chief?
II the police chief and the engineer are
doing their work efficiently (and that is
the only purpose for which they are
hired) they have nothing to fear.
The Press believes that Zurcher and
Girard will have the courage and indie
pendence, if elected to the city council,
to discharge ANY employee who has been
remiss in his duties, and will not be sub
servient to political 0lctation from those
whom they hire for a particular branch
of work and that alone. The same cour-
age and independence will prompt them
to retain the employee who does his duty.
Only the city council is charged with
conducting the affairs of the city. It is
up to them to see that each employee per
forms his duty, not for the employee to
dictate to those chosen by the people to
govern.
There has NOT been harmony on the
city council for the past two years. A
council that will pull together for Ell
CENTRO and not for any particular in
dividual, can be given the city by voting
the Harmony Ticket - Zurcher an
Girard.

BY TIE GENERALS INITIATION

A splendid example of the worthwhile
ness of the Boy Scout movement, for
which campaign is now being conduct
ed in this city, was given yesterday at
Sacramento.
There several hundred airships, repre-
senting the cream Of the United States
air forces, were drawn up in line for in
spection. Men who are acknowledged the
crack flyers of the world stood stiffly at
attention in front of their machines as
keen-eyed brigadier went past them, eye
ing every detail of ships and men as on
ly an inspecting officer in the army can.
Beside Brigadier General Gilmore, as
he made his inspection, strobe a Is year
old Boy Scout, Robert Loheit.
Crack flyers :scyer moved muscle nor
twitched an eyelash as the general strode
past them. but it is a safe bet that every
flyer and mechanic lined up on Mather
Field knew and recognized the fact that
there was the makings of fine mai
striding along beside their general.
Robert was there by special invitation
of General Gilmore. Last week Robert
was proceeding along highway in Sa'-
ranento. when his attention was attrac.-
ed to a crowd around an automobile acd-
dent. One of the victims of the accident
was an enlisted man of the United Stats
army, who was in danger of bleeding %
death from badly torn arm.
None of the spectators was able to ad
him in any way. Not so Robert His BY
Scout training had taught him first aid
and it required only moment for him to
fashion tourniquet and staunch the
flow of blood. His action undoubtedly
saved the soldiers life and it caused Gen
eral Gilmore to invite Robert to the IN
spection as his guest.
Training of the kind given Boy Scouts
pays dividends that cannot be reckoned
in dollars and cents. There are Robert
Loheits right here in Ell Centro and al!
over the country. Their turn may come
some day, and when it does it will find
them ready.
