Prison Escapes

Because Of the sensational escape over the walls
Of sixteen inmates of the state prison at Florence in
the month Of February the subject of prison escapes
has been receiving considerable attention in the press
Of the state.
Escapes at the prisor have occurred during all ad-
ministrations. They will doubtless continue to occur
to greater or less extent
So long as the honor system is in vogue at the pri
son. there will be certain percentage of prisoners
who violate the trust imposed upon them.
Whether or not one approves of the honor sys-
TEN, so long the state operates prison farm and
other activities outside the WALL and the institution
continues to be undermanned with guards, escapes
Will occur it must be maintained.
Public opinion condemns escapes from the peni-
tentiary Yet, each succeeding state legislature de-
clines to appropriate for additional guards made ne
ceSsarV by the constant increase the number of in
mates.
The number Of prisoners increases in even great
er proportion than the population of the state, but
the Legislature will not authorize additional guards
The 1928 Legislature authorized the expenditure
Of large of money for cell houses to relieve
the congestion at the prison But the Legislature of
that year and the last state legislature refused to ap
propriate salaries for the necessary guards for the
cell houses The Stiffness of such procedure is aD
parent In his message to the chairman of the apprO
prlatQn committees Of the house and senate of the
Tenth legislature, Governor Hunt called attention to
the urgent need for additional guards at the prison
He asked for three more guards for the new cell
houses and two farm guards
The Governor explained the need for these ad-
ditional guards He pointed out that full supply of
water is available fot the farm and the two
guards could Well be used there.
The recommendations We're ignored by the leg
islature.
IL this connection. it is interesting to note that
during the previous administration 157 prisoners
capped in the two years Showing that similar condi-
tons produce similar results seveny-ne escaped III
1929 and seventy eight in 1880
For the first three months of the present year,
there have been twenty-five escapes from the prison
The wholesale escape of sixteen in 1881 was ecpsed
by the record Of August 1880 when nineteen prisoners
walked out Of the gates Of Florence in body.
There is no desire the part of the present adj
nainistration to shrk any responsibility in the mat
ter Of escapes from the state prison In fairness, how
ever the public should consider the handicap that is
placed upon every administration through the re-
fusal Of the legislature to provide sufficient guards
for this penal Institution.

What Causes Colds?

Practically every resident of Santa Cruz Coun-
ty experiences the disagreeable, common cold and
there are many people who have them with more or
less regularity during the year.
Such sufferers should be interested in the recent
suggestion of Dr. E. Y. McCoum, who told the Am
ercan College of Physicians that it is possible that the
cause of this scourge is diet deficient in vitamin A.
For the information of those who wish to know
this vitamin is found in butter whole milk, yolk of
eggs Spinach lettuce celery leaves turnip tops, beet
tops and radish tops is also found in carrots and
sweet potatoes, yellow corn, liver, kidney and sweet
breads.
Regardless of whether you suffer from common
colds or not vtamin A is necessary to the mainten
ance of your general health. It is particularly vital
FOR children who become susceptible to certain in
fectious disease if they have it in insufficient
amounts.

tions, and the presence of Hogan and O'Farrell leaves McGraw with no catching worries.
 Three Giant pitchers, Walker, Fitz- simmons and Hubbel, finished among the first five in the league last sea- son, but their work, despite the records, was not consistent. At no time did McGraw have all three of his aces moving along at a steady pace.
 The burden of the mound work again will fall on this trio. Mitchell and Donohue are veterans capable of heroic relief work, but a trifie uncertain as starters. Schumacher, the collegian from St Lawrence uni- versity, looks like a great prospect, but is unlikely to bridge the gap between campus and major league competition in one season.
 Needs Control
 Parma1ee, blessed with more nat ural ability than any pitcher on the squad, would be good for 15 or 20 games were he only able to To- cate the plate. Chief Bender, pitch ing coach, has been working on the young mans control, but he still is far from accurate.
 Lucas and Heving had their mo- ments last leason and will be re- tained. Morrell, Mooney, Berly, Sheppard, Turner, Adams and Bo- laski complete the staff. Two of these rockies will be kept. Berly, an International league sensation, and Morrell have the edge at pres ent.

 Yes, they are both papas. That's looking out for the future of the league alright.
 The committee on the banquet asked for suggestions on entertain ment etc. And what a response they got. Some of the boys must read some great stories, the ideas they presented. Henry, I'm really shocked.
 Doc" Farina and "Shellac" Boz yeki have been working out some novel effects in drugs and concoc- tions. Frankie Kerner has been helping them out by sampling them. While rehearsing their tumbling act for the banquet, Tom Lawlor missed Tato Ryan and Shamus threw his tonsil out of place. This catas- trophe closed the street and water department share of the entertain ment. But Jack Delaney has come forward to sub for them.

With their four most dangerous rivals greatly improved, 1t appears doubtful that the Giants, despite their fielding and hitting strength, will be able to improve or duplicate their 193A performance of finishing third, five games behind the win ner.
 Look Elm Over
 Manager McGraw has made many shifts in the clubs lineup and it is expected the New. Workers will open the championship season with the following regulars:
 Critz. 2b; Leach or Allen, If; Ott, of; Terry, 1b; Lindstrom, If; Jack son, SIS; Vergez, 3b; Hogan, c.
 The most important change in the 1891 lineup is at third base where Johnny yergez, Pacific coast star, will start, with Freddy Lind strom going to right field and Mel Ott to center. Vergez, though not a tremendous hitter, is finished fielder.
 Jack of All Trades
 Lindstrom, one of the best all- around players in baseball, has taken to the outfield like a duck to water. Both Leach and Allen are playing above their 1890 form and Ott, 8 star in right field, is doing nicely in center.

SENATE GROUP

The Senate Judiciary Commit

port on the nomination Of Judge
D. Lawrence Groner to be a judge
of the District Court of Appeals.
The committee at the same
time referred the nomination of
James M. Proctor to be a judge
of the District Supreme Court to
a subcommittee consisting of Sen
ators William H. King CD of
Utah and John j. Blaine (R0 of
Wisconsin. Little opposition was
expected to the nomination of Mr..
Proctor.
The nomination of Judge Gro

Eastern District Of Virginia, had
met with opposition because of his
conduct of the war frauds harness
case. A subcommittee headed by
Senator William A. Borah (R0 of
Idaho, however, found the objec-

BLOOD IN EYE
NETS 50 DAYS

When Everett Mopp, >colored,
%, wakes up with blood in his
eye, there is generally something
doing, and Saturday was no ex-
ception, according to the story
told by his wife, Mrs. Lorraine
Mopp, in Police Court today.
When her husband was ar
raigned before Judge John P. Nc
Mahon, ON a charge of assault,
Lorraine told the court that i'm
mediately upon awakening at
their home, 2510 Georgia Ave. N.
w., Saturday morning, Mopp
threw knife at her.
Then. she declared. he said:
II woke up with blood in my
eye, and 1 feel like killing
somebody, and it might as well
be you as the baby, or anybody
else"
The woman fled, she said, and
sent police to arrest Mopp. She
declared that her husband on a
previous occasion choked her pet
dog to death, and then threw the
baby on the floor and kicked him.
Judge Mcmahon sentenced
Mopp to so days in jail.

RESIGNATION
RUMORED
IN SUIT
D. C. Court and Senate Line
Up for Custer Proceedings;
Commission Plans to Meet
BY International News Service.


Selection of special counsel to
represent the Senate in the
custer proceedings to be insti-
tuted in the District of Columbia
Supreme Court against George
Otis Smith, of Maine, chairman
of the reorganized Federal Power
Commission, rested today in the
hands of a subcommittee of
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Senator Norris CR.) CT Neb-
raska, Chairman Of the Judiciary
Committee and Senators Steiwer
RO of Oregon, and Walsh Cd
of Montana, comprise the Sub
Committee. This procedure was
decided on at meeting OF the
full committee.
Attorney General Mitchell, who
authorized District A tt orney
Rover to permit the use of his
name in getting the controversy
between the President and the
Senate before the District Su-
preme Court, will designate spe-
cial counsel to represent Smith
and the Executive branch of the
Government.
Smith May Resign
While these preliminaries we're
being completed, Senator CouzenS
(R0 of Michigan, supporter of
the President in the row, re-
ceived word Smith would prob
ably resign. Other Senators who
have led the fight against Smith
because of the dismissal of two
veteran employees friendly to the
peoples interests in the fight
against the power trust, have re-
ceived the same word. No one
seemed willing to discuss the re-
port.
Senator Wheeler CD of Mon
tana, defender of Charles A. Rus
sell, and William v. King, dis
missed solicitor and chief &C
countant respectively, said he
had been informed Smith would
resign. but he could not trace
the report to its source.
Walsh Sees Error
Senator Walsh said several
prominent lawyers were being
considered for the Senate's case.
He expressed satisfaction with the
attitude of the Attorney General
and the district attorney in per
mitting the use of the latter's
name in order to bring quo war
ranto proceedings, although he
disagreed with the view that it
was the only way to get the con-
troverSy into court.
Regardless of the controversy,
the power commission proceeded
with preparations to hold public
hearings February 16 on the ap-
plication of the Appalachian
Power Company for a minor part
permit to construct a $11,000,000
power plant on New River, Vir-
ginia,
