Dawson secreted a small bottle OF
silver nitrate in her clothing.
The bottle was noticed by Sheriff
Lee Briner of Randolph county be-
fore the trip from the jail at Win

Briner succeeded in gaining pos
session of the bottle without the
prisoners knowledge. He poured
out the silver nitrate and filled the
bottle with water, and returned it
to the hiding place.
He hoped that Mrs. Dawson would
swallow the water and, believing
herself to be facing death, would
talk about the deaths of her hus-
band and younger daughter. But,
after placing her in prison, the
sheriff found the bottle of water on

INCREASING responsibilities
Il have been accepted as a
matter of course by the rising
Rooseyelts. Each of them, even
the daughter Anna, has planned
far ahead for a business career.
From early childhood, too, each
was kept strictly on a moderate
allowance, and taught how to
save. During summer vacations,
no matter how many servants
might be available, they were allot-
ted small routine tasks.
And each was charged with the
care and well-being of his pets
There were plenty of the latter
from white mice to guinea pigs
and rabbits. Ambitious ventures
were begun, with the idea of SELL
ing great numbers through an or
ganization to have been called
Roosevelt Animal Farms, Inc"
But, somehow, nothing ever ma
terialized except the animals
themselves, and these came in such
profusion that the family gardens
were nearly stripped of carrots,
lettuce, and other rodent deica-
cieS.
FLLIOTT and Anna were sure
II there must pe market for
thoroughbred dogs, so they decided
to go in for the breeding of Ger
man shepherds, the variety now
commonly called police dogs"
With plenty of stock to start
with (there always were three of
four of the animals about the
estate) they eventually came into
possession cf three or four filters
of puppies.
And then discovered that they
were so fond of each individual
puppy that they couldn't bear to
sell any of them. So they gave
them away to their friends.
Then, as though there already
were not enough dogs about the
place, they acquired Chief. But
Chief was an accident.
"One summer, over at the
Duchess county fair" Elliott re-
calls, they were rafting off a
speedy little pony and a German
shepherd cog.
Anna had her heart set on
winning that pony, and it occurred
to her that if she could buy up
most of the chances she would be
fairly certain of winning it.
Since the proceeds of the raf-
fles were 10 go for charity Il think
it was the Red Cross, Anna didn't
hesitate to petition all the older
members of the family and all
the relatives she could see, to take
ten chances each.
Meanwhile Grandmother had
been sold a chance on the dog.
Just one chance, and she certainly
didn't want the prize. But after

BEER HACKERS
MUSTER VOTES
TO BEAT VETO
Hoover Expected to FroWn'
on Measure, Certain to
Pass in House.
VETS ARE CONFIDENT
Alcoholic Content Will Be
Major Issue, in Windup
of Fiqht.
BY MARSHALL M'NEIL
Times SAN Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Demo-
cratic party whips today started the
political snaneuverings that they
hope will provide enough votes to
override the prospective Hoover
veto of the 80 per cent beer tax bill.
Presidential disapproval is feared
because Hoover remained silent
throughout the campaign on modi-
fication of the Volstead act, and
because Ogden Mills, treasury sec
rotary, although wet, would give
the house ways and means COM
mittee no inkling of what he
thought Hoover would do.
Unless a tWo-thirdS ma jority is
available in house and senate, the
relegalization of beer will have to
await the new congress and the new
administration.
VETS Are Optimistic
The vets base their optimism on
three things. First, the fact that
repeal got 272 votes in the house,
This probably would be enough to
override beer bill veto. Second,
the insistence of senate Democratic
leaders that beer bill must be
passed this session. And, third, the
realization that unless beer is re-
legaiized and taxed, the balancing
of the federal budget probably will
rest upon the general sales tax rec
commended by Hoover and Mills.
The hopes are bolstered also by
the fact that only seven of the ways
and means committeeman voted
against the bill. Seventeen voted
for it.
The measure, which carries :. tax
Of S. barrel, is expected to reach
the house floor Tuesday, with pass
age probably Wednesday or Thurs
day.
But before the vote is taken, leg
islative fights are expected over al
least two important features.
Alcoholic Cotent Is Issue
First of these is the alcoholic con-
tent. The bill as reported legalizes
beer containing 80 per cent alcohol
by weight, or per cent by volume.
Brewers and others insist that any
less alcohol would impair the popu-
larity of the beverage, and cut down
tax receipts.
But done drys will demand that
this percentage is intoxicating, and
semi-drys will argue that 2.75 per
cent by weight should be the maxi
mum.
The second fight is that over dis
tribution. Advocates argue that 80
per cent beer is Misunderstanding
and thus should be sold everywhere
at soda fountains, restaurants,
anywhere. But drys demand closely
restricted sale.
No Red Tape Provided
The bill, as reported contains no
red tape restrictions on distribution.
1t does, however, contain provisions
calculated to protect those states
which prohibit beer against the sale
of the new beverage within their
borders.
The re-legalization of naturally
fermented wines is not included in
the beer bill, and because plans
have been made to report a
separate wine bill later, the So
called wine bloc in the house is ex-
pected to vote for the beer bill.
The house ways and means COM
mittee today voted down a bill to
legalize naturally fermented Wines"
The vote was announced as IA to 8.
