CANNON ASSA|LS
REPEAL MOVEMENT
Declares "Roman Catholic
Hierarchy" Stands for Dry
Law Abrogation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Terming the recent election "a mass
movement of unrest" and not a gauge
of prohibition sentiment, statement
by the Board of Temperance and So
cial Service of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South last night said repeal OF
the eighteenth amendment will un-
doubtedly be hailed with delight by the
Roman Catholic hierarchy"
The statement was signed by Bishop
James Cannon, jr.. president OF the
board, and Eugene l.. Crawford, secre-
tary, and was the first from this source
since the election. 1t said
The steadily increasing open oppo-
sition to the eighteenth amendment by
the Roman Catholic hierarchy from
Pope to priests must be openly and
seriously reckoned with in any ap-
praisal of actual conditions, for the
attitude Of the hierarchy influences
nearly 100 per cent of the Roman
Catholic population with over 100000
voters.
Cites "Spokesmen."
"Rcmanism has had as its willing,
obedient spokesmen. (Alfred Ed Smith,
John j. Raskob, (James A. Farley,
mayer James, Curley (of Boston,,
(Senator) Walsh Democrat, of Mas
sachusetts), (MichaeD Igoe lof ILL
nois), and others, eliminating in
Smiths open attack at Newark upon
the Methodist Church and other
Protestant organizations as an 'aggre-
CATION of bigots,' and then in his ab-
surd declaration at Boston in fiat con-
tradiction of recent papal encyclicalS
that there is no bigotry in the Roman
Catholic heart
"The repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment will undoubtedly be hailed with
delight by the Roman Catholic hier-
archy and press as a defeat Tor Prot
estantism.
This is no attack on Romanism, but
is clear, accurate statement OF It's
attitude in this warfare with the bev-
erage liquor traffic, in which warfare
great governing bodies OF the leading
Protestant denominations are stead
tasty opposing any modification OF the.
prohibition law.
1T will be interesting to note to
what extent Southern politicians will
90 in cooperation with corrupt grating
Roman-controlled Tammany in the
modification of the Volstead law and
repeal of the eighteenth amendment
regardless of the official action OF great
Protestant church bodies in the South
Five Points Outlined.
The reference to the Catholic Church
was one of five points outlined in the
statement on prohibition. Two of them
referred tc lack of efficient Federal
enforcement" and lack of State CO.
operation"
In speaking of prohibition enforce
ment under the Treasury Department
then headed by Andrew Mellon, the
statement said:
THE prohibition law was hamstrung
almost beyond recovery by the Mellon
regime"
The statement termed lack of State
and local cooperation "a serious blow
to the success of the prohibition law"
Another point touched on was what
was termed false propaganda" The
statement recited quotations by Jane
Addams and Evangeline Booth favor
able to prohibition and said:
The Duponts and Sabins and the
entire higher society cocktail crowd are
but featherweights in comparison with
these great women"
The last point proclaimed mo sur
render, no retreat, no compromise" on
the prohibition question.

CHICKENPOX IN
TWO FLOCKS OF
VALLEY POULTRY

Two outbreaks of chiekenpox
among poultry flocks in the coun-
ty were reported recently to II.
Lee Landerman, assistant farm
advisor and poultry specialist.
A flock of chickens near Braw-
ley and a flock of turkeys near
El Centre were found to contain
birds suffering from the malady.
Landerman recommended i'm
mediate vaccination of all birds
in the affected flocks TO prevent
spreading of the disease and iso-
lation of the infected birds. He al
SO recommends strict sanitation in
the houses and yards.
"An poultry on the ranches
should be vaccinated," said Ian
derman, and this is the best sea-
son for vaccination, especially for
the young stock. Poultry between
two and four and one-half months
old have not entered the egg pro-
duction periods and thus would
not be cut down in production as
a result of vaccination. The vaccl-
nation would tend to immunize
the fowl from future attacks OF
chickenpoX. Dr."
Landerman is of the opinion
the disease may be carried from
one ranch to another by straying
poultry and by insects ana birds.

AIR RIFLE USED
IN CAPTURE OF
ALLEGED THIEF
Ginger Ice Box Pudding

Because Victor Winklick. 10, who
longed for his home III the east
lost a roaring race along the Holt
vile highway and succumbed to
the threat of an air rifle in the
determined hands of service sta
tion attendants. he is in the county
gail today awaiting arraignment on
a charge of grand theft.
Victor's nostalgia for his eastern
home, and the tall tales he had
heard of the desert dangers between
Ell Centre and Yuma, caused his
rash action in stepping into an au-
tomobile not his own, and driving
it away under the eyes of Don
Tibbs, the owner, according to Of
ficers.
Tibbs watched the car go, almost
too surprised to act. Then, with
M. NJ. Sanderson, he command
eered another automobile at the
RTcNeece service station, where
Victor took the car, and gave chase.
Through Ell Centro and on to the
Holtville highway went pursued
and pursuers.
Tibbs and Sanderson gained slow
ly but surely. They came along
side. An air rifle, the only weapon
which had been available to Tibbs
and Sanderson, served as well as
another, and Victor halted. He
was escorted to the Ell Centre po-
lice station and from there to the
county jail.

Constance Bennett
I'm Latest Film

A clever combination of humor
and tragedy makes TWO Against
the World" one of the snappiest
films in which Constance Bennett
has yet been seen, as those who
saw the picture at Fox theatre last
night can attest.
Miss Bennett is seen as a veal
thy society girl who falls in love
with an obscure lawyer and is in
trigued with him when he shows
no great elation over her attention.
Later she assumes the appearance
of guilt for the crime her brother
has committed, and the attorney,
through the machination OF a dis
trict attorney who seeks to break
him." is compelled to prosecute the
case.
The girls efforts to shield her
brother. and a sister who is involv-
ed in the scandal, are complicated
when she takes the witness stand
for cross-examination by the at
torney Caught in a fib, she later
tells the truth, the brother is ac-
quilted, and the lawyer starts in
pursuit of the girl to buy her
dish of beans which they both
have found they enjoy.
Neil Hamilton has the leading
male role and the balance of the
supporting cast is we'll above the
average.
Our Gang" has a film on the
bill and they have produced a new
midget comedian who would make
a horse laugh. He has only a small
part but he gets a laugh every time
his features appear on the screen.

Fowl Business
Remains Mystery

Delving into the lowest depths
OF humor, Eddie Nett and Lloyd
Castanien, deputy sheriffs, decided
last night that fowl business was
afoot when they failed to find an
automobile loaded with chickens,
and the white man and Negro who
were in charge of the automobile
when it supposedly became stuck
on a ditch bank east OF the Wire
Brothers service station.
The car, its feathered load and
its proprietors were reported to
the Sheriff's office by a suspicious
rancher living near the place
where the automobile was stuck.
Nett and Castanien Immediately
repaired to the scene, believing 1t
possible that the chickens had been
stolen.
When they arrived, however, 1t
was to find only the tracks of the
automobile. No car, no chickens
and no men were visible. The Of
ficers could find no further trace
of the suspicious group.

President Hoover vetoed a Senate
bill yesterday on the ground that it

of the insertion of the words "or other

The rejected act was a comparatively

Il am returning herewith Senate

priated and paid, and that lands were
