recognition of the legal principal
that verdict founded on passion
or prejudice is false verdict and
should never prevail"
This was the statement made by
Jerry Geisler, attorney for Alexan-
der Pantages, when informed of
the state supreme COURTS decision.
"Mr. Pantages, his wife, children
and attorneys are all exceedingly
happy over the decision and feel
that the case will now be tried on
its merits rather than upon passion
and prejudice. We arc now conf
dent that Mr.. Pantages will pe full
ly vindicated," he said.
I'VE have new and startling evi-
dence," Geisler added, which We
will produce at the proper time
should the district attorney decide
to prosecute Mr.. Pantages a second
time. We are confident that should
another trial be held, 1t will end in
victory for Mr.. Pantages."
Attorney Geisler refused to dis
close the nature of the new evi-
dence but it was reported that sew
eral new witnesses had been found.
LOS ANGELES, April 2. UP
For the first time since the SUI
preme court has been celebrating
the Alexander Pantages case. Eunice
Pringle, 17-year-old dancing girl,
was not at her home in Carbon
Grove, suburb, when the theatre
magnate was given new trial to-
day.
Miss Pringle expected decision
to be reached by the supreme court
all of last week.
Yesterday she declared that 1t
appeared to her the court must be
planning to put the case over for
some time.
II will be ready to go through
with the ordeal again if new trial
is granted" the girl declared at
that time. She said that her plans
were dependent upon those of dis
trict attorney Buron Fits.
Miss Pringle has 81 ,000,00 DAM
age suit pending against Pantages,
claiming that the asserted attack
by Pantages ruined her dancing
career and caused her mental and
bodily pain.

CITY TO ADOPT
new ORDINANCE
ON DOG TAXES

An ordinance governing the con-
troll of rabies IN El Centre passed
first reading by the city council
last night, with several minor
changes possible before the ordin-
ance will pass second reading at
the next meeting.
The ordinance, as presented py
Dr.. Warren F. Fox. city and county
public health officer, gives three
alternatives to dog owners. one is
the muzzling of all dogs allowed 10
roam the streets, another con-
finement of dogs, and the other
vaccination of dogs against rabies
The ordinance, as 1t passed tirst
reading last night, calls for no ad-
ditional expense by dog owners IN
having their pets vaccinated against
rabies. The cost. according to DR..
Fox plan; will be taken out OF the
dog tax.
DR.. Fox recommended passing OF
this ordinance because he feels
that the present ordinance, giving
him authority to have all dogs
muzzled in times of danger from
rabies, is too strict. The new ord
nance will replace three ordinances
now on city books.
Another matter taken up with
DR.. Fox by the council was the
apparent prevalence of disease In
Ell Centro when compared With
towns of the valley, as shown by
the weekly bulletin issued by the
health department. DR.. Fox eX-
planned that, since he is in charge
of health work in Ell Centro, he has
a much more accurate check on
communicable diseases here.
While other towns may have more
disease than Ell Centro, he said,
physicians in those towns are lax
in reporting these cases to the
health department.
Extension Granted
Another matter of business be-
fore the council last night was the
extension of time granted to Fred
Kenyon for payments on the prop
erty upon which the swimming
pool is located. A two years eX-
tension of time was granted, and
provisions made for payment OF
money owed the city.
A letter of coincidence to Mrs.
Mack Henson, wife of the volunteer
fireman who died from burns re-
ceived in a recent fire. was author
ICED.
Work on sidewalks and curbs in
the Del Norte Park tract was au-
thorized by a resolution passed last
night.
The councilmen authorized sale
Of empty bottles confiscated by the
police department in liquor raids.
Regular monthly demands were
approved at this meeting.
Refreshments were served coun-
cilmen last night when tray con-
tanning dishes of ice cream was
passed around. One member of the
council expressed the opinion that
resolution should be passed
thanking the unknown donor of
the ice cream. Such citizen
should be encouraged, he said.

COTTONWOOD FALLS, Kansas,
April 2. W.n)-The crash of a tri-
motored Fokker airplane which
plunged Knute K. Rockne and
seven other men to their deaths
was listed definitely today among
the unexplained tragedies of avia-
ton.
Several theories of the cause
we're written in the records of the
coroner's inquest, but the verdict
said only the victims came to death
in an accident of undetermined
cause.
Relatives were expected here to-
day to claim the bodies of five of
the crash victims. The body of
Rockne had been taken to South
Bend, Ind, where he coached the
Notre Dame football team. The
other two bodies also had been
claimed for burial.
The coroner's jury heard eyewit-
ness accounts of the crash and ex-
pert opinions of aviators and others
who sought to throw light on the
events Immediately preceding the
plummet like dive Of the big plane
into pasture near Bazaar, Kan
SaS.
Barton Stevenson, Kansas City
aviator, advanced The theory of the
cause which the jury considered
most plausible.
He believed Pilot Robert Frye
was cruising through murky CLOUDS,
and as the visibility decreased, de-
cided to return to Kansas City.
Frye brought the huge Transcon-
tinental g. Western craft down
through the clouds to get his bear
ings, in Stevenson's opinion, and
suddenly found himself near the
ground.
Frye jerked his controls, accord
ing to the theory, and the strain
snapped the right wing from the
airplane. to leave it plunging help
lessly to earth.
The victims we're Rockne, Frye,
w. b. Miller, Hartford, Conn.,; J.
H. Happer, Chicago; G. A. Robrecht.

The measure. by Senator Arthur

vision of the corporate securities
act, to enable state officials to halt
commercial frauds at their incep-
ton rather than after the harm has
been done.
According to Harry Chamberlin,
attorney for raymond L. fiaight,

proposed amendments tighten" the
law by giving the commissioner the
power to act in emergencies.
Under the terms of the measure
the commissioner would be empow-
