WASHINGTON, D. c.,
Nov. 5.-W. r. Porter, presi-
dent of the First National
Bank, Key West, VINO has
been here in the interest of
the Monroe-Dade counties
bridge financing asked from
the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, has decided
that nothing could now be
done until after election.
Porter made a business
trip to New York, and after
another engagement at Biz
mingham, will return home
to vote. He said he would be
back right after election, and
there were indications that a
decision of the corporation
would be reached within the
next week or more afssr cleo
ton.
For the past few days the
r. r. c. has been handing out
approval on many of the
self liquidating proposals.
Some are being turned down,
but such refusals are not
heralded officially at this
time on the eve an an cleo
ton.
Further assurance as to
the bridge revenue being
ample to liquidate the loan
il causing the delay in action
on the Key West proposal, it
was learned. In general this
applies also to most of the
other requests for financing.
With the senate now demo-
cratic by one vote margin
and with a possibility this
margin will be increased by
the election, there are indica-
tions that a showdown will
be demanded by that body on
many of the delayed pro-
jects. In the short interval
between election and con-
vening of the ''lame duck"
congress ii is expected
many delayed projects will
be acted upon, including that
at Key West.

Caught in Net.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, September 2s.-1n
concentrated drive against Kansas
City liquor dispensing establishments
sc Federal prohibition agents closed
more than 80 in six hours.
At exactly 10 o'clock last night-the
zero hour-agents working in squads
began raiding elite night clubs, chicken
dinner farms and resorts In the city
and vicinity. The offensive continued
today, and those in charge said they
expected to have rs places padlocked
by noon.
So fast were operators and employees
taken to ofilces Of H. L. Duncan, chief
special agent, Bureau of Prohibition,
that no immediate estimate Of the
William L. Vandeventer, United
States district attorney, who two
months ago announced a campaign to
clean up Kansas City booze dives"
said the offensive was the greatest un-
dertaken here since enactment Of Fed
eral prohibition laws. He said most
of those arrested would be charged
with sale and possession Of liquor and
maintaining liquor nuisance.
Agents Are Strangers.
Adding to the surprise feature was
the fact that most Of the agents were
unknown in Kansas City. They had
been brought here from Illinois, Kan
sas. Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nebraska
and Iowa. Among those who joined in
the raids were Col. George H. Wark,
prohibition administrator Of Kansas.
Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma, and
Thad w. Rowden. deputy administra-
tor Of Western Missouri.
Tactics Of the raiding squads varied
but little. While one agent handled the
doormen or watchers, others rushed in
side. Guests were forced to remain,
while employees were rounded up. The
names of frequenters were taken. Un-
less they were unable to supply creden-
tials verifying their names and ad-
dresses they were released.
Following the raiders were huge mov-
ing vans, which were loaded with fur
niture and fixtures and driven to Gov
ernment warehouses. Numerous gam
bling devices were numbered among the
articles conf1scated.
Former Gang Leader Taken.
Among. those taken into custody were
ences with Federal agents. One of them
was Bobbie Carnahan, an alleged for
mer lieutenant Of Frank Demayo, once
known as the king Of bootleggers" In
the Southwest.
Places raided included the Scotland
Yard Night Club. Oak Tavern, Kit-Kat
Club Gormerly White House TAVERN,
Cotton Club. Novelty Club. Hollywood
Gardens and the Reel Cafe.
At Scotland Yard the cashier was
known as the Judge Of kangaroo court"
and walters were dressed in stripes
Booths were labeled to represent the
cells Of various type Of criminals, and
TRUSTEES" welcomed guests at the door.
The Negro orchestra had just struck up
THE Prisoners Song" when the agents
entered. Fashionably dressed women
screamed. while their escorts sought
permission to leave. 1t was denied.

VALUE OF DAIRY
FOODS STRESSED
At FAIR EXHIBIT

Value of dairy products in the
dietary is the theme of the huge
dairy exhibit at the fair entered
under the sponsorship of the ex-
tension service, the California Dairy
Council, the Imperial County Farm
Bureau with the cooperation of To-
cal dairies and creameries.
Posters showing the food value
of milk, butter and cheese from
the health standpoint, and demon
strating their Importance in the
dairy dietary are particularly inter-
esting. Commercial displays of
butter, milk and cheese entered by
valley dairies give the visitor
comprehensive idea of the scope
of dairying in Imperial Valley.
That one high producing COW will
bring the income of four low plo-
ducing cows and at the same time
materially reduce feed costs since
one half of all costs in dairying
goes for feed, is the contention on
the display advertising the value of
COW testing.
This exhibit is sponsored by the
extension service in connection with
its COW testing program and brings
out the point that low producing
COWS should be culled and high pro-
ducing COWS singled out for inc1u-
sion in the herd.

and dairy inspector, has entered

LAKE PLACID, N. Y. Feb. IL
A mystery" sled is going down the
Mount Van Hoevenberg bob run
today and if it doesn't break the
worlds record of 1:52 for 4-man
bobs, it's going to be even more
mysterious.
Its riders took the sled out for a
trial spin yesterday and it tore
down the precipitous chute in 1874.
And as its driver stepped from be-
hind the wheel he said:
This baby can do one forty flat
whenever that sort of speed be-
comes necessary.
1T is an American sled. And II
it keeps the foreign riders out of
the Olympic championship they
will have no one to blame but
themselves"
You remember couple of weeks
ago how the foreign four manners
protested against the manner in
which the run was being handled,
and demanded it be placed in the
hands of international bobsledding
offieialS1 And how on the first
day the foreign officials took charge
they piled the track with snow.
spelling the glare ice surface to
which the Americans were accus-
toned?
Well, the mystery sled was born
right then and there. Unable to
make decent time on the snow blan-
keter track, certain American
driver studied the foreign runners
which worked SO well in snow, and
put down all the facts and figures
in little red book. Then he called
in his No. 3 man and told him OF
his plans. That was last Friday.
Saturday morning found the two
OF them in isolated Little Peru, N
Y, where the bobs they used were
manufactured. They hired a black
smith anvil and went to work For
48 hours they hammered. At the
end of this time they had forged
runners which not only possessed
all advantages of the foreign type
but boasted a few little private i'm
provements of their own.
All of this was in strict secrecy.
Monday the team assembled or
a secluded mountainside for the in
augural trip. The handmade run
ners took the snow beautifully
cleaving it cleanly and casting il
aside, instead of piling it up in
front as did the old runners.
A second experimental trip was
made Tuesday The results were
just as gratifying.
Knowing that none of their COM
petitors could reproduce the new
runners in "a hours, the boys went
out to Mount Van Hoevenberg to-
day, showed off the top, and lei
her go. They were down in 1:47.4
the best time ever made on the
mile and half trip
The sled belongs to Harry HON.
