FLU EPIDEMIC
CAIN REPORTED
Disease Outbreak Centered
in New York City.
BIZ Science Service

BIZ Science Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The
influenza outbreak in the United
States has conferred in New York
City, reports to the United States
public health service here today
show. For the week ending Jan.
II, there were 1905 cases in New
York City alone. In the nineteen
states which have reported for last
week, there we're 2,022 cases.
Reports from the remaining
states have not been received yet.
These same nineteen states reported
only 1,046 cases of influenza the
preceding week, and for this same
week in $780, these nineteen states
reported only $50.
The largest figures for individual
states so far are 113 in Maryland
and 282 in New Jersey. This state
probably is Influenced by it's loca-
ton contiguous to New York City
which appears to be the center of
the outbreak.
Public health authorities do not
expect the present outbreak to grow
to the proportions of the 1928-1929
epidemic. At that time in one week
close to 10000 cases we're reported
The type of influenza is very mild
this year, with few deaths.

BANK CASHIER
ROUTS BANDITS
BuIIet-Proof Glass Shields
Three From Shots.

Protected by bullet-proof glass
and partitions, employees Of the New
Augusta State bank are satisfied
now that any further attempts at
bank banditry will avail gunner no
more than did a robbery attempt
Thursday afternoon.
Following James w. BARLEY. Old
Augusta, customer, into the bank
lobby, two bandits sprayed the in
terror Of the bank with bullets be-
fore they were beaten of by gun
fire of r. E. Huffman, cashier.
They fled from the bank to a
waiting stolen auto in which they
escaped, with third member of the
gang who sat at the wheel during
the robbery attempt.
While one bandit marShaled
BARLEY into rear room, his COM
panion trained gun on Huffman,
Miss Stella Coble, assistant cashier,
and Robert Huffman, bookkeeper,
with the command stick 'em up!"
The cashier calmly reached for a
telephone and drew an army pistol
from a drawer. Both bandits
opened fire, their bullets bounding
of the bullet-proof glass, and en-
bedding in the thick partition.
Through a small loophole in the
window Huffman directed his bull
lets, but was unable to hit either
bandit. They ran from the bank.
Fifteen or twenty shots in all were
fired.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Proti-
oition, in the opinion Of the Wick
ersham commission, has injured
the dignity, impaired the efficiency,
and endangered the wholesome re-
spect for federal courts which once
obtained"
Special significance is attached to
this Indictment OF prohibitions
effect upon federal courts because
ten Of the eleven members of the
commission are lawyers or federal
judges.
In addition to the verdict of the
full commission, several members
amplified their views or this point
IN their separate reports.
The commission found that ten
years of prohibition had imposed a.
heavy burden OF what really was
police court work on federal tribu-
nails.
Bargain Days" AssaiIed
The volume of liquor cases in
federal courts multiplied by seven
during the first five years of pro-
hibition, and there we're eight times
as many dry law cases terminated
In 1880 as there we're total fed
eral prosecutions in 1914, the COM
mission found.
The federal court congestion due
to prohibition was said by the COM
mission to have led to bargain days"
at which large numbers of defend
ants were permitted to plead guilty
and escape with small fines.
In 1880, the report added, nearly
90 per cent of dry law convictions
were of this type.
THE bargain method of keeping
up with the dockets, which prevails
of necessity in some of the most
important jurisdictions of the coun-
try, plays into the hands of the
organized illicit traffic by enabling
It to reckon protection of its en-
ploye5 in the overhead" the COM
mission said.
Congestion in Prison
Since the court congestion &C.
casioned by the large number of
prohibition cases makes speedy trial
and punishment difficult to OBJ
tain, criminal prosecution was said
to be a feeble deterrent" to law
violation.
The commission also pointed to
the congestion in federal penal in
situations.
It cited justice department re-
ports showing the total federal long
term prison population-those serv-
ing sentences of more than year
and had risen from not more than
5,268 on June 30, 1921, to 14,115 on
June 80, $780,

NEW YORK, March 20. U.R) =
Chicago's Cubs are sure thing"
TO win the 1891 National league
pennant. if one is to accept the
opinion Of men closely allied with
baseball.
The future book" odds still quote
the Cubs, Brooklyn Robins and st.
Louis Cardinals as joint favorites,
with Pittsburgh and New York only

major league managers and play
ers are convinced that the Cubs
have a wide margin over their RI

Except for Manager Gabby Street

believe that St Louis has a chance
to repeat. The Cards had consider
able good fortune in last years

they have added pitching strength
the general concenSus rates them
as inferior to at least two rivals.
The high ranking given the Cubs
is a personal tribute TO Rogers

Hornsby is rated as one Of the
smartest baseball men in the game

ARRECON HOPES
FOR DECISIVE
WIN TONIGHT

Frankie Arreeon will demonstrate
tonight al the Imperial Valley Ath-
letic club. whether he is the same
fast-stepp.ng. hard-punching boxer
who ran up string of sensational
victories in valley rings. or If he has
slipped back into the class of boys
who are not as good as they used
10 be.
Arregon will mix it up with Joe
Soldiyar in the last half of the
double main event which the club
has staged as the card tonight. Sol
diYar. though not known as well
here as Arregon. is given quite a rep
utation by coast sports writer's and
Tod Morgan, former junior light
weight champion. gives him credit
as being one OF the best boys at his
weight on the Pacific Coast.
Soldivar will have n very deter
mined boy opposite him for frankie
IS hoping 10 get fight with Bobby
Pacho and viii be putting every
thing he has into tonights fight
with that end in view. Arregon does
not like the idea OF Paeho holding
the place that was once his. and
would like nothing better than to
knock Bobby down off his perch.
Two willing scrappers will be seen
in the first half of the double main
event with Sammy Aguirre ~and
Herman Ritterhouse doing the hon
ors. Sammy has met a flock of
good boys on the coast and has al
ways been able 10 hold his own with
them.
He has boxed several times this
year and fans remember the
trouncing he gave Alicante when
they met. Ritterhouse is dubbed the
greatest crowd pleaser" in Califor-
ma. He has gone over big in all
clubs where he has appeared re-
Gently after being a favorite for a
long time in Arizona and other
southwest boxing points.
These are two scraps the fans
can bank upon" is the verdict sent
out by the club.
In the special event Young Ma
tlonalista will attempt to bend back
the ears of Kid Pancho, who has
won his two starts at the local club
nationalist is not the original bow
oy that name but a newcomer who
IS hoping to get somewhere. Pancho
IS fast little fighter and a hard
