ST. LOUIS, March l. U.P) -
Irving Jaffe, New York, Olympic
skating star, will not be among
the IL other Olympic stars to ap-
pear in an ice carnival here next

Jaffee in the carnival. Forshaw
said: "One Julian T. Abeles of
New York, purporting to present
Jaffee as attorney, demanded 5000

pear in st. Louis. We refused to
consider it, and put the matter up
to the president of the Amateur
Skating Union of the United
States, Joseph K. Savage of New
York. We had offered Jaffee $3.50
travelling expenses for self and

LONG TERM Is
IMPOSED UPON
WHISKEY OWNER

Two half-pints of whisky, or just
one pint, meant lot in the fu-
ture of Bill Morris when he was
arrested in Ell Centre several weeks
ago by E. D. Vaughn, federal pro-
hibition agent, on a charge of
possession and sale of that amount
of liquor.
Just how much it meant Morris
knew yesterday afternoon when he
pleaded guilty to possession and
sale of the two half-pints and was
sentenced by Judge KilletS of the
San Diego federal court to 13
months in the federal prison at
A1cNeils Island.
Morris also was charged with
two other counts of possession of
liquor and one of transportation,
but to these he pleaded not guilty.
With 13 months chalked up against
him, the other charges probably
will not be prosecuted.
Andy Rossi, anotner arrested in
federal raids in Imperial Valley,
last week pleaded guilty TO pos
session and sale of liquor and
maintaining a public nuisance and
was sentenced to four months in
the Orange county Jail.

Quick Response
To Varney Alarm

George Varney, county treasurer,
this morning discovered the best
way in the world to summon an
officer in a hurry.
1t was just 8:02 by the clock on
the wall of the sheriff's office when
the burglar alarm, connected with
the county treasury vault, shattered
an otherwise peaceful morning.
1t was only a matter of seconds
when Sheriff George Campbell and
Tom Sharp, investigator for the dis
trict attorney, were in the treasur-
ers office, hands on their guns.
They were followed in short order
by George Evans and w. S. Keat-
ing, deputy sheriffs.
But Varney explained he had not
made the proper connections, and
accidentally had set off the burglar
alarm. The officers, putting from
their run, returned to duty.
