Rev. Powell, as this writer started
out to tell you, talked back to a
leader of the white race.
Mr.. H. l.. Mencken, master critic
and author, said some awful things
about your preachers.
Rev. Powell being a preacher nat
urallv didn't like it. But he didn't
act like some of us when folks saw
things we don't like-get angry and
begin to curse and swear that here
is man opposing God Almighty.

Clergyman Gives "Tip" Which
Leads to Arrests; Agents
Posing As AddiCtS Set Trap

NEW YORK, March 26 U.SD
Discovery by a clergyman that a
drug ring has been selling heroin
to Brooklyn high school boys and
girls resulted yesterday in the ar
rest of seven alleged dope peddlers
and the ring chieftain.
Striking simultaneously in the
Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn,
Federal agents under command
OF Maj. Joseph Manning, made
the arrests after months Of, pre-
liminary work in which agents
bought $4,000 worth Of mar
coticS.
Operations Widespread
Last october clergyman call
ed on Major Manning. He told
how he had discovered several
boys and girls who were in the
first stages of drug addiction.
The operations of the ring, Major
Manning said, became so wide
spread toward the end of october
that several civic organizations
also made complaints.
Agents were brought into New
York from the West, and posed
as addicts. They loafed in cheap
restaurants near 108th st. and
First Ave-, in Manhattan, and in
Chinese restaurants in Brooklyn.
They earned the confidence of
the drug peddlers, said Major
Manning.
Hide Leaders Identity
But the ring leaders identity
was kept secret. Seven periodic
arrests were made, but the ar
rested men told no tales. It re-
manned for an accident to bring
the ring leader, Michael Parta-
limo, to light, said Major Man
ming.
Kenneth D. Schneider was ar
rested for burglarizing a house
in Bronxville. He was suffering
for want of drugs. He complained
to police that the drugs he had
bought were "cut," and in a
spirit of revenge told police that
mike the Whip" was the man
who sold him. Police then learned
that Mike the Whip" was
Michael Partalino.

BOXING FANS OF
VALLEY ANXIOUS
TO GET ACTION

Better times are in store for those
fidgety half-starved looking fell
lows going around the town, occa-
sionally mumbling to themselves.
They are not victims Of depression
or unemployment, but merely box
ing fans longing for a chance to see
the boys swap leather, not having
had the opportunity to 90 ST Tor a
whole month.
News that the original caro- booked
for the first part of the month has
been saved through three weeks OF
rain and bad weather for Friday
night. has done much to cheer up
the low state of the game s follow
ers.
They have been on the edge for
weeks. trying TO figure out if Baby

what he has done TO SO many other
good boys-set them back on their
heels. If Sal can do this it will
mean that he will be in line tor
high honors in the state. possibly a
crack at the welterweight title.
Alicante is a powerful hitter who
has given local fans number OF
good fights. Sorio will make the
Filipino extend himself to the limit
and it will not be surprising If the
bout should end before the sched-
uled 10 rounds as both boxers are
anxious to score a knockout.
Homer Gaines, now the "Cuban
Kitten will get the semi-final
spot, meeting Russ Bradford who
was seen in action here on the last
card before the rain paid its long
visit. In that scrap Russ made
Teddy Palacios look like a novice,
winning six rounds without any
trouble. He will have a faster op-
ponent in Gaines and the colored
boy is travelling at a fast clip just

Mullen are booked for the six round
special. Both are desirous Of getting
into action after long lay-off and
want higher places on the local box I

some low blows which the former
threw, will try to square the account

ANNUAL VALLEY
TRACK MEET TO
BE HELD HERE

High school athletes from Impe-
Iial Valley schools will gather at
the local high school field at 2
0 clock Saturday afternoon to at
tend the Imperial Valley track and
field meet, Coach Bob Armstrong
of the El Centre high school an
nounced today.
From all indication the entry
list will be record breaker,'' said
the coach.
Almost every school in the valley
will be entered in the meet. Both
A and c divisions will compete Sat-
urday. Last year El Centre won
the c meet. and Brawley and El
Centro tied for first place in the A
division.
Hoitville. with a fine bunch OF
athletes, looms up as one OF the
strongest contenders in the track
and field events this year, and may
give other schools a lot of trouble
when the championship is consid-
cred.
AS usual, e. Centro and Brawley
are expected to finish some place
near the top of the list.
Several records are in danger this
year, with number of schools en-
tering field candidates who, in prac-
tice. have shown a threatening atti-
tude toward the marks set up IN
former years.
Those sponsoring the meet have
arranged the schedule so that no
time will be wasted between events,
and spectators will have no chance
to become bored by waiting for at
fractions.

TRIAL DATES
FOR OLYMPICS
UNDER DISPUTE

NE WYORK, Feb. "a. W.P)-Dates
OF the final track and field trials
for the 1882 Olympic games re-
mained undecided today, with spon-
sors of two widely divergent train
ing schedules marshaling argu-
ments to influence the choice.
The two groups agree on only one
thlng-that the final choice Of
dates will be the determining factor
in the United States success or
lack of success in the Los Angeles
Olympiad.
One group favors continuance of
the former custom of holding final
trials two weeks before the OPEN
ing of the Olympics, with the trials
at Soldier Field, Chicago, on July
1915, 1882. The other, including
Dan j. Ferris. A. A. U. secretary
and numerous prominent coaches,
declares the trials should be held
six weeks prior to the Olylnpiad,
which opens at Los Angeles on July
so, 1882
Pacific coast representatives pro-
tested against holding the track
and field trials at Chicago, and
argued it would be unfair to ask
coast athletes to go to Chicago for
the trials and then return to Los
Angeles for Olympic competition.

D. {. PARK AREAS
ARE ABUSED

With nearly 400 unrestricted
parking areas for their enjoy

less abuse their privileges and
annually do unrestricted damage
to the garden spots in the
National Capital.
This was disclosed today at
the office of the Director of Pub
lie Buildings and Public Parks,
during discussions Of a multitude
of offenses committed, small in
themselves, but meaning great
damage when the total result is
considered.
Spoil Tennis Courts
AS one example, the clay tennis
courts in Montrose Park, after
being worked on for nearly a
week would have been ready for
play as soon as they dried off
after the rain Wednesday.
Some thoughtIess individual
walked across the middle of both
courts while they were wet, with
the result that the courts must
be completely worked over.
Another instance was the al
most complete destruction of a
beautiful plum tree, part Of which
hung over the rail Of the Q
Street bridge. by persons desir.
ing its blossoms. Arrests were
made in that case, but the dam
age had already been done.

the plot of ground had been
seeded, an automobile ploughed
through the whole plot, making
it necessary for the whole work
to be done over again.

TROOPS PURSUE
REBEL FORCES
IN HONDURAS
Ferrera, Revolt Leader, Now
Believed Planning to Form
New Army Among Indians

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras,
April "a (IN.SO.-The govern
ment of Honduras determined to
stamp out all vestiges Of rebel
lion on the northern coast, plan
ned today to send large eXpedi-
ton into the interior to annihilate
rebel strongholds.
Beaten at almost every point
n the coastal region, the insur-
rectionists fled inland, holly pur-
~ued by federal detachments.
According to information reach
ing the office of President Colin
dres, the rebels under Gen. Gre
goria Ferrera are feeling toward
Intibuca, the generals home and
mountain stronghold.
May Organize Indians
Their retreat, the direct result
of reserves suffered in sharp en-
counters at Chemelecon, Clon-
chito, and Guayemas. practically
cleared the important area OF
San Pedro Sula and Puerto Cortes
of rebel forces.
1t was believed here that Gen
eral Ferrera, reluctant to aban-
don revolutionary hopes, would
retreat to his own territory ana
attempt to organize an army OF
native Indians for renewed at
tacks on government forces.
Cooperating with the Honduran
government, according to prom
ise of several days ago, authorl'
ties of Salvador seized a group
of revolutionaries seeking to cross
the border into Honduras and in
termed them. Among those ar
rested were Generals Pedro Or
don and Ladislao Vasquez.
Rebel Attacks Fail
The fighting of the last three
days centered largely around the
railhead of San Pedro sula'
where the rebels attacked with
out success several times.
The insurrectionists suffered
their most decisive defeat around
Chemelecon, however. For 48
hours they sought to carry the
town by force, but a superior
federal force beat off their
attacks successfully. It was est1-
mated that thirty men were killed
in the fighting at Chameleon
Olanchito and Guayemas.
Martial law continues in force
throughout the country.
