 Long Beach, California. De. cember 12 = (UP) - Two alioi witnesses that William James Guy hoped would prove his innocence in murder of Walter Wanderweh, soldier of fortune, were taken in- to custody as material witnesses
 Guys alibi was that he was at the home of friends in Glendale, SO
 miles away, when a mysterious stranger boarded the schooner yacht Carma here last Monday night, sought out Wanderwell. anu shot him dead.
 The witnesses, Edward De Larm, free-lance aviator, and Ralph Dun- Ian. mechanic, were detailed aftel police announced that Guys anpl had been materially weakened.
 A formal complaint charging Guy with the murder was to be is- sued today. He had been held as a suspect since Wednesday night A possible motive for the killing. d quarrel with Wanderwell, had been ascribed to him.
 De Larm and Dunlap were held after police questioned two mys- tery witnesses" and two Glenraie youths calling upon De Larms daughter, Juanita, the night of the murder. Guy said he was in the De Larm home that night.
 | The mystery witnesses' whose names were not revealed wert said to have refused to commit themselves as to whether they could identify De Larm as 8 mar seen near tue Carma. Members | of the cooperative crew, bound foi a South Sea adventure whef Wanderwell was killed, said they never had seen De Larm.

Aid of San Francisco authori' ties was asked in an investigation into Guys antecendents. Police were skeptical of his story that he fled from the.

Speedy Drive to

(Continued from Page D nesses that modification would bring unprecedented drunkenness and weaken the nations mora fibre brought applause from a sym pathetic audience. Chairman Col Her finally was forced to warn that continuance of the demonstration would necessitate clearing of the room.
 While committee members grin ned at him, Representative Estep republican, Pennsylvania, argued with Mrs A. Haines Lippincott, one of the witnesses.
 Estep objected to a profit and loss'' statement submitted by Mri Lippincott, which he asserted gave the entire credit for prosperit, from 1925 to 1929 to prohibition.
 Members of the women's Ma. tional Committee for law enforce. ment raised their voices in thu halls of congress today to denounct legalization of beer as 8 measure which would bring widespread drunkenness in it's wake, imperi their children, and enrich thu brewers at the expense of the na. tion's moral and economic welfare
 The witnesses, led by Mrs Henry w. Peabody, claimed to represent 10,000,000 organized women.
 They presented medical testi' mony denying the claim of wet! that 2.75 or per cent beer is non. intoxicating.
 They challenged also the esti mates of nti-prohibitionists as tt the amount of revenue a beer ta1 would yield.
 The women opened the dry arg ument against modification before the house ways and means com mittee, which last week heard pro ponents of beer and wine. They are to be followed by heads o' other leading dry organization who are meeting here to help ths Anti-Saloon League organize a na' tional campaign to win voters back to the prohibition.
 Mrs Peabody sounded the key note of the women's argument:
 We have only one desire-tt protect our Constitution, the SUI. preme law, that it may continue tc protect our homes and children and communities"

 Regarding the intoxicating qualities of 2.75 per cent beer. sht quoted Dr Howard A. Kelly o Baltimore:

WATCH YOUR STEP
 ON ICY WALKS
Warn Children Sledding to Be on Lookout for
 Motor Cars
SEASON FOR MISHAPS

Watch your step on the side- walks and streets. They are very slippery, and fall on the ice is something nobody likes. Owners of property should get busy and see that the walks are cleaned of snow and sanded. Even with this pre-. caution,, walking these times Is very dangerous. In the fine weather everybody was delighted with the nice smooth roadways but it is different now. They are more dangerous than the dirt roads, and it requires great care to get over them and not take a tumble.
 Sometimes people get damages for injuries suffered, on the public ways, but nothing that would come in this way would compensate one for such a mishap.
 Warn children on sleds to. be on the lookout for motor cars This is the season when serious acci- dents happen.

 Mrs Harvey w. Wiley, widow of the food and drug expert, quoted him as follows In regard to 2.75 per cent beer:
 'In my opinion have no doubt of that fact (that it is intoxicat- ing). It may even, as have seen in my own experience, produce the third degree of intoxicating, name- ly, drunkenness"
 Commander Evangeline Booth ot the Salvation Army struck at the argument that restoration of brew ing would help restore prosperity in testimony read by Mrs Peabody.
 Dollars cannot propitiate strong drinks eternal sin," she was quot ed as saying. "Proseprity can never balance it's fearsome influ- ences. To aid the brewers in any possible way is to surely betray the highest and roblest in Amer ican ideals"

DOWN WITH THE GROW


 Regardless of Henry Ward Beecher's famous article on the defense of the crow, the State Board of Fisheries and Game has announced a campaign against the bird, which it Is hoped will greatly reduce the number in Connecticut. Wild life protectors of the board, seeking methods to reduce the number of Connecticut crows, have found that crows have regular roosting sites in nearly every coun- ty where they congregate in thou sands by following regular lines of flight, starting at about o'clock each afternoon. With decoy owls, which crows fearlessly, attack in daylight the board plans to cover these regular flight lanes in. a weekly series of crow shoots in all counties. Parties of sportsmen, under supervision of wild life pro- tectors, will be enlisted for the work.
