CAS- HUCKSTERS
SAFE a HOURS

Gas hueksteHs are immune from
police activity, at least until to-
morrow, when a motion will be
argued before Justice F. Dickin-
son Let's, in District Supreme
Court, as to whether the police
and District Commissioners shall
be enjoined from interfering with
the hucksters until three test
cases, now on appeal, are finally
decided.
The Commissioners, through
their secretary, Daniel E. Garges,
have instructed the police not
to molest the gas sellers until
after the motion is argued.
The gas hucksters have proved
something of a problem here for
several weeks. Finally it was
agreed that test cases should be
made, and three of them were
arrested, charged with supplying
automobiles with gasoline in
the street other than as an emerg-
ency measure. They were con-
victed in Police Court before
Judge Gus A. Schuldt and fined
$40 each. An appeal was taken.

Scent Stamp Needed
At Midnight Tonight

The new Scent stamp goes into
nationwide service at midnight
tonight, with Federal officials
predicting it will go a long way
in boosting the worlds largest
business out of the red"
Despite publicity given the
boost in rates, it is expected
thousands of letters will be
mailed in the next few days
bearing the old 2-cent stamp, as
it usually takes the public some
time to get adjusted to a change
in rates. The new stamp bears
the familiar Stuart portrait of
George washington.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 5
G.N.S. ).-Calling upon the
drys of the Democratic South to
unite with the dry Republi.
cans of the North, the Hon.
Clinton H. Howard, of Boston,
Mass, temporary chairman, in
his keynote speech before the
national convention of the Pro-
hibition party here today un.
furled the standard of or
ganzied drys.
Howard thundered: .-
"The enemies of the national
constitutional prohibition are
today divided into two wet
camps, each wetter than the
other. The hour has struck
. for a new political party by q
reaIignmen. of the patriotic
voters of the country, uniting
Democratic and Republican
drys in a common cause"
May Become President
Howard asserted that there is
a possibility because of the
division of the wet supporters
into two hostile camps, that the
candidate of the prohibition
party shall become the next
constitutional President of the
United States"
If national dry organizations
do not support the prohibition
candidate "the responsibility for
the return of the liquor traffic
and the saloon under any other
name and form, will be upon
their souls in the judgment hour
of God" Howard warned.
Howard described the Demo
cratic liquor planks as per
forated with corkscrews and
bungholes." :
Republicans Divided
The Republican, National Con-
vention vas divided into two
camps, the wringing vets and
the wobbling vets, the speaker
said. He charged: .
"The Republican liquor plank

StupendOuS, titantic, colossal,

Howard concluded his speech
with a bitter attack on President
Hoover whom he accused of being
kidnapped by the wet politicians

RAILROAD LOSS
PUT ON DRY ERA

The fact that the enactment OF
Che Eighteenth Amendment "de-
Btroyed the distillery business on
the Kentucky highlands" was cited
today by examiners of the Inter
state Commerce Commission as a
reason why the Louisville and
Nashville should be authorized to
abandon one Of it's branch lines
extending from Cliffside to Irvine,
KY. IT miles.
The examiners said traffic on
the line is insufficient to support
It and it's operation is burden.
The commission author lied the
Greenwich and Johnsonville rail-
road to abandon that portion of
its line extending from Johnson
vile to Greenwich, N. Y, IA
miles. It also authorized the

to follow them, although advices

The Black Box of Silence

In rather less than five minutes
Markham was placing the roadster at
the sid entrance to the hotel. Lands
slowed the suitcases in the rumble and
climbed to his place, saying, Cant
you tell me now?"
'Wait until we get out Of town."
Lands waited, and he was still
waiting when the roadster bumped
over the final railroad crossing in the
Red Buttle Western yards and shot
out upon the broad, silent expanse of
the Red desert.

twenty years later, the Emperor Maxi
milan babe sad farewell to his friends
before he faced the firing squad. So
on through the Diaz, Madero, Car
rama, Obregon, Gales, and other
regimes, this blood-stained area has
seen Mexican history made. Palaces,
pawnshops, churches, markets, and
other institutions face it now, and into
it run no fewer than ten thorough
fares, including the stately avenues Of
Cinco de Mayo, Madero, and the 16 de
Septiembre.
Old Market and Little Shops.
On tramcars, on foot, and in motor
cars an incredible traffic stream pours
through this plaza every day, and on
it's west side there dourishes what is
perhaps the city's oldest market.
Since 1924, when city officials gave
Goes to shelter goods displayed on the
sidewalk in front of their stores, retail
trade has gone on here For years the
public letter-writers piled their pens
here, helping many lovesick Indians to
woo by mail" A few still do bust
ness.
Walking by this plaza market now,
you pass under arcades whose old
walls are plastered with bullfight
posters and notices of lottery drawings.
Slow-moving Mexican street crowds
loiter before the little shops. These
sell toys, sweet meats, newspapers,
cheap jewelry, and odds and ends Of
hardware and dishes, eyeglasses, post
cards, and other trivial wares, for the
city's large department stores and
finest shops are out on fashionable
avenues. Here, also, under these ar
cades, stuck away in tiny hooks, are
men running little hand-printing
presses for making cheap calling cards
and stationery, and other indolent
artisans who mend clocks, guitars, tell
fortunes with canary birds, and peddle
lottery tickets. And here, too, is the
beggar known in Mexican slang as the
pordiosero, or, literally, the "for- Gods
saker.''
On the south side of the PLACE is a
section known as the Portal de las
Flores. This was the old flower mar
ket in days when canals still led to
the plaza and Indians landed their
canoes here.
