ORGANIZATION
OPPOSES BEER
LECALIZATION

WASHINGTON, Oct. l. U.R)-
The National Grange, one of the
country's leading farm organiza-
tions, placed itself on record today
as vigorously opposed to legaliza-
ton of beer.
Through its executive committee,
the Grange denounced as unsound
the argument of modificationists
that farmers would be aided
through consumption of grain by
legalized brewers.
The committee said it had made
surveys of the economic effect of
prohibition on farming and the
facts disclosed by these studies show
conclusively that resumption of the
brewing industry in the United
States would be detrimental TO the
interests of agriculture"
A similar survey is being made
by Secretary of Agriculture Hyde.
1t is understood Hyde's study will
involve not only the economic eff
feet legalized beer would have on
agriculture, but also its general ef-
feet on unemployment and govern
ment revenues.
In support of its contention, the
Grange offered data showing a 80
per cent increase in the consump-
ton of dairy products since nation
al prohibition became effective.
The grain required to produce this
increased output is more than three
times the amount used by brewers
in 1917, it said.

Bell said that he was discharged
from the navy, having had less
than eight months service. He was
living at the Shovel auto court
near San Diego when he met Miss
Teuber, a clerk in a fiye-and-ten
cent store.
In relating his story, Bell insisted
he was intoxicated at the time.
"I was filled with alky, straight
alky and l don't remember much, ,"
he was quoted as saying.
II was driving through San Diego
in an automobile 1 had stolen when
l saw the girl I stopped and asked
her where she was going. That was
in the afternoon.
Oh, anywhere you say, boy
friend" he said the girl replied.
Bell then related that they drove
around through Balboa Park and
he then took her back to work after
making an engagement to pick her
up again at p. m.
When he met her that night, he
said, they started toward Tijuana.
He then told of his advances and
her refuSals and finally his pulling
the coat around her neck.
He claimed that he did not re-
member what happened after that
and said he guessed I just did it."
when asked about how Miss Teu-
ber's clothing was removed and how
her body was pulled by a rope
over the limb of the tree.
The sheriff's office first learned
from another prisoner that Bell
might know something about the
Teuber girls death. The prison.
er said Bell was Dragging about
what he knew about her.
Watching Bells mail, authori-
ties learned that he was friendly
with Lillian Pfiefer of Long Beach.
Miss Pfiefer said she also had
heard Bell talk of knowing the
Teuber girl.
Deputy sheriffs questioned Bell
for two DAYS before he made his
admissions today. They said the
youth was a native of Idaho.
