Now that they think beer is near.
Washington is busying itself with
trying to figure out a definition for
saloon that will be definite
enough not to lead to courtroom
controversies. Some say it is a
place where Intoxicating liquors
are kept and sold" Others insist
that it is a place, room or rooms
where intoxicating liquors are sold
and drunk. Others insist that liz
uors sold in a saloon need not be
Intoxicating. Colorado courts have
held that "a dance hall where soft
drinks are sold is a saloon"

And whether fair or stormy days.

HOPEWELL, N. j., May %. -
John Hughes Curtis may not be
prosecuted for his Lindbergh baby
hoax, it was suggested today as
former Congressman Joseph t.
Deal announced in Norfolk that
the real story of Curtis work re-
mains to be told"
Deal retained Attorney w. c.
Pender who has been here repre-
senting Curtis, presumably attempt
ing to arrange $4,000 bail on the
misdemeanor charge under which
the Norfolk boat builder is held.
Deals statement Sunday asked
the public not TO judge Curtis
hastily and urged that the public
await a full disclosure of the facts
surrounding Curtis negotiations
and his later confession" that they
were fiction.
Prosecution of Curtis, it was be-
lieved, would depend upon testi-
mony by Col Charles A. Lindbergh,
whose baby Curtis supposedly was
attempting to return, but which lay
dead all the time within sight OF
its home.
Lindbergh seemed reluctant to
appear against the boat builder.
He did not file the charge on which
Curtis is now held, and indicated
he wanted little to do with the
case at the time of the arrest.
Meanwhile, no progress in the
hunt for the kidnapers and killers
of the baby was reported here.
Gangster Sought
The gangster reported in Mary
land to have described the killing
and disposal Of the baby's body

The gangster told his story tc
Arthur Mills, a Baltimore Bertil-
lion expert, who had met him at
Ocean City, Md. He said a "hoI
head" stole the baby, that the eX-
tortionists killed it with head blows
and that it would be found within
five miles Of the Lindbergh home
The baby was found, its skull
fractured, four and half miles
from the Lindbergh home two days
later.

Packers Fail To
Reach Agreement
On Wage Scale

Official committees from both
the shippers and the Fruit and
Vegetable Packers association were
/ in conference for six hours yes
terday without having reached a
decision concerning wage diff
cultieS.
The meeting was held in the
Planters hotel in Brawley and thoss
who attended made every effor'
to reach a satisfactory solution OF
problems arising from wage dis
putes.
While the meeting adjourned
yesterday, it was with the under
standing that committees will meet
again for further negotiations.
Jack Persons, president of the
Fruit and Vegetable ParkerS' aSso-
citation, said today he was Of the
/ personal opinion that no under
standing would be reached until
the season was more advanced and
a greater number of shippers
brought into the controversy.
A statement issued today by the
committee of shippers who met
yesterday with the packers repre-
sentatives, stated:
Representative of the packers
/ association, on Thursday, May 10,
told some of the shippers that the
packers would like to appoint a
committee to meet with some OF
the shippers for the purpose of at
tempting to iron out the present
wage difficulties.
"A meeting between the packers
committee of three and an unoffi-
cial committee of three represent
ing some of the shippers was held
Friday morning, May 20. The ship
perS there present made a suggeS-
ton to the packers that the pack
ers' association, if they were de-
Sirous of going to work and end
ing the present dispute, might ap-
point a committee with authority
to arbitrate the wage scale for the
balance of the 1882 season and that
if the packers association appoint
ed such an authorized committee
for the purpose of arbitrating, the
three shippers then present would
endeavor to secure the cooperation
of all the shippers in arbitrating
the question.
Saturday, the packers notified
the shippers they had committee
and asked for a meeting with the
shippers committee Sunday morn
ing, at o'clock. Four shippers
met with the committee of four
of the packers, Sunday, to hear
what the packers had to say. The
committee representing the packers
reported they had no authority to
arbitrate the question of wage scale
AS a consequence nothing was ac-
complished.
Whenever the packers ask that
the wage scale be arbitrated and
ask the shippers to join them in an
arbitration, we are confident the
shippers will gladly cooperate with
them
I'm the meantime cantaloupes are
being shipped without difficulty as
| fast as they mature, the shippers
paying various prices to the pack
ers working"

Lefty LyntOn'
Splendid Film

Clever humor ana stark tragedy,
interviewer with two romances,
makes Lefty Lynton', which will
close tonight at Fox Imperial the
atre, really enjoyable play.
Starring Joan Crawford and
Robert Montgomery, this picture
deals with the old theme of a girl
with a past and her attempts to
discard it when real love comes to
her. Tragedy is the price she pays
for her folly, but in the end her
new romance comes to the desired
end.
Second only to the acting of the
principals is the splendid work of
Nils Asther, cast as the jealous
South American lover of the
wealthy American girl and of
Louise Closer Hale in the role of
Miranda, aged companion and
guardian of the girl. Her comedy
is one of the real pleasures of the
picture. May Robson is the life
embittered mother of the girl, who
rises to her real character when
her daughters life is at stake.

placed today against Alberto Gar
cia, former head of the Mexican
Rurales at Mexicali, in an answer
to a 100000 damage suit brought
by Garcia's mother following ac-
uuittal at El Centro of Dan Mar
ron and his wife of murder charges
in connection with Garcia's Staying
last December.
Marion, a prominent Imperial
Valley rancher, pleaded self-defense
in the killing. He claimed Garcia
threatened him many times and
that he shot Garcia on the CaleX-
ico-Yuma highway in an attempt to
force a showdown" in their enmi-
ty.
The damage suit was brought by
Adelaide Garcia Del Wilkie, mother
of the slain man, following Mar
rons release. Attorneys for the
mother said today they will move
to have the suit heard July IL in
federal court at San Diego.
In the answer filed today it was
charged Garcia had killed q per-
sons. Details of the asserted mur-
ders were not given.
At the Ell Centro trial Of Marion
and his wife, Mrs. Inez Marion,
ruling of the court prohibited de-
fense attorneys from presenting ev-
idence Of the asserted list of Gar
cia's killing, which M. w. Conkling
had mentioned in his opening
statement to the jury.
In this opening statement, how
ever, the attorney declared the de-
fense would attempt to prove thai
Garcia had killed many men, anc
bore a border reputation as a heart
less killer. Again in his CLOSING
argument the attorney, through
adroit suggestion, mentioned severa
