companion, had run over and killed . small child.
 General Butler has been ordered held for court martial as a result of including this assertion in recent public speech. and the United Statei has apologized formally to Italy.
 Mussolini denied the incident viz orously and said that he had never had an American as his guest on a motor tour. nor had his car ever killed a child.
 Vanderbilt yesterday was identi- fled as the companion of Mussolini in letter he wrote Rob Wagner, nationally known magazine writer and publisher.
 Wagner, who exhibited the letter to the United Press under condition that certain condolences not be vi- plated, will comment upon 1t in an article to appear in this weekly mag azine. Rob Wagner's Script" to- morrow.
 Vanderbilt, the letter stated, was riding with Mussolini when the in- cident occurred which formed the basis for General Buffers recent as- sertiOns that after the child was struck down Mussolini drove on with the comment:
 ''what is one life in the affairs of a state?" &
 The former publisher in the main upheld General Buffers assertions, but made no reference to the al- legged remark about "one life". He also declared that there were exten- uatiny circumstances.
 'TIne story MT Vanderbilt told and we know 1t perfectly-was at a meeting of lecture bureau heads where everybody was sworn to se- crecy. General Butler told several very confidential stories of his own; so did another lecturer" the Scripts will say tomorrow in part. :,
 General Butler "spilled the story'' and he spilled. 1t wrong" Wagner writes in his article.
 One passage of the vanderbilt let ter said "Sure, the story is true'. This, according to Wagner, referred incident rather than the details of the asserted death of the child. Vanderbilt, according to his letter. 1 included Mussolini in an interviews ing tour of Europe during which he visited stain. Pilsudski, clemenceau; Joffre, General Pershing, Lloyd SCOAS SCs IhS AOAA AuCI xA0AoCI w AAAOAAAk and others.
 While Vanderbilt was Interviewing Mussolini, II Duce left by motor to attend a naval function. it was as- serted, and the Italian premier in- vited the American to accompany him in his automobile.
 The highway was a bedlam of of f1cial pomp when the asserted acci- dent took place. it was said, and an- other car in the party stopped to care for the child.
 The exact details of the alleged accident have yet to be revealed to the public. 7.
 Wagner and Vanderbilt are close i friends and the Script frequently , contains articles written under Van defhilt's name.
 Wagner in the Script will com ment on the Italian government 8 denial that Mussolini ever had met Vanderbilt or taken an American as l a guest in his motor car, and the !; later-amended statement that the premier had, granted Vanderbilt a 1 brief interview. rr Somebody is pulling bad bon- <, er." the Script article will say, "for MT Vanderbilt possesses letter from MT Mussolini in which II Duce thanks him for his interview and

 The measure is due for hearing before the legislative judiciary com mittee Feb Il.
 TEXT OF MEASURE
 Hartford, Conn, Feb 5.-CUP)- Here is the text of Governor Cross message to the general assembly urg. ing favorable consideration of the district court bill:
 "1t gives me pleasure to observe that the importance and significance of the district court bill is appre- ciated by your body to the extent that hearing thereon has been set as early as February II. Not in many years, am convinced, has any legislation been proposed 90 far great reform as this measure.
 Equal and exact justice are the noblest attributes of free govern ment. Once the people are every- where convinced the courts do jus- tice without fear or favor of any man, orderly justice rests on 8 firm foundation that will endure against the temporary shock of any attack.
 "As the chief executive of this state I pledge myself to work with you in establishing courts that will be bulwarks of liberty and of safety for our institutions. If the act is passed, shall name judges under it's provisions without reference in any degree to political considerations but with the single purpose of abil- ity. fitness and undoubted integrity. shall gladly be guided by recom- mendations made by the various bar associations of the state so that when the nominations are submitted to you no one can fairly charge that partisan politics enters into the structure of our courts"
 House and senate. adjourning after quarter-hour sessions, passed under suspension of the rules a bill which will permit the state to share with the towns the burden of supplying extra work to persons who would otherwise become paupers. The bill, received on a favorable committee report, authorizes the state to reim- purse towns for money expended in giving work to unemployed who would become paupers up to $14 a week per person and ending May l, 1881.
 The senate passed a bill appro- priating $20,000 to supply a de- ficiency in the funds of the Newing- ton home for crippled children for the fiscal period neded June 30, 1880 and another amending the charter of the Stanley Works of New Britain to permit the company to issue stock to employees.

RADIO ENABLES
SMOKE CHASERS
TO ENJOY FOWL

1t required SO long for % firemen
to devour % fried chickens at a
dinner party at department head
quarters Saturday night there was
no time to devote to card playing.
Regular firemen entertained vol
unteers at a dinner they cooked
themselves in the newly equipped
kitchen, the menu being elaborate
to the last piece of pumpkin pie
and whipped cream.
A program of speaking was ar
ranged but the crunching of bones
drowned out the remarks of cou-
pie of leather lunged orators. Fin
ally the entertainment committee
called off formal plans and turned
the radio on full blast SO fireman
could enjoy the fowl without en-
barrassment.
The hosts are extremely proud of
the meal and will be glad to ex-
change recipes with any housewife

COUNTY SHOWS
HEAVY INCREASE
in AUTO DEATHS

Imperial county's toll of death
from automobile accidents during
1881 has been greater than that OF
like period during 1890, bulletin
from the bureau of research, sta
tistics and traffic safety received
in the office of the California
Highway Patrol here today showed
This county, however. is not be-
hind the rest of the state in in
creased death from automobile ac-
cidents, since the entire state
showed an increase of IA per cent
in traffic deaths. Compared to II
deaths last year, Imperial county
has had 16 this year, according to
the report.
This county is 81 from the top
in counties which have shown an
increase in the death rate.
These same figures showed that
about half the fatal accidents in
California happen at street inter
sections in cities, while about one
fourth happen between street in
sections.
Accidents on public highways
although less numerous, cause more
deaths, the report showed. This is
blamed on the higher speed poSsi-
BILE on open highways.

SUCCESS IN MAKING
MAYONNAISE LIES IN
way OIL IS ADDED
IA Little at a Time" is Safest
Method. Hills Bros. Use a
Similar Rule in Their Pat
ented, Coffee-Roasting
Process

Oil, in large amounts, added to
mayonnaise ingredients usually
makes the mixture separate. 1t is
better to add oil "a little at a time"
There is a similar situation in
coffee roasting. Occasionally, big
patches can be roasted so each has
the same flavor. But you can't de-
pend on it. The sure way is to roast
little at q time. Hills Bros. do,
with their patented, Controlled
Roasting process.
AS the accuracy of the hour-glass
depends upon an even, continuous
flow a little at time :. so the
uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee
is produced by this patented process
that roasts evenly, continuously :.
q little at q time. The temperature
is exactly regulated while the blend
flows through the roasters. Every
single berry is perfectly roasted.
Naturally, then, every pound has
the perfect flavor!
Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in
vacuum cans that keep it fresh
Air, which makes coffee go stale, is
removed and kept out of these cans.
Even ordinary, "air-tight" cans
won't keep coffee fresh. Order Hills
Bros. Coffee today. Ask for it by
name, and look for the Arab trade
mark on the can.
