HARD LIQUOR
BAN PL AGED
UPON HOTELS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. %. (U.P)
In final opinion Attorney
General U. S. Webb said today that
the California liquor control law
definitely" prohibits the drinking
or serving of hard liquor in hotels
cafes or restaurants after prohibit
tion repeal becomes effective next
week.
Webb's opinion, reaffirming an
earlier decision, was given FREQ
Stewart of the state board of equal
ization. Hotelmen had asked Stew
art whether they could serve drinks
to guests who provided their own IL
quor.
"I have studied the law from
every angle and the law seems to
be clear" Webb said. Under its
provisions the mere drinking of Ii
quor by patron in any public eat
ing place will be sufficient grounds
for the arrest of the owner or man
ager and for revocation of its beer
and wine license. 1t is impossible to
put any other Interpretation on the
law than the one I have made"
Hotelmen weero rganized to cir
culate initiative petitions for spe-
cial election. The election would
consider a "liberaliZing' amend
ment to the control law.

APP ROYAL. FOR
LIQUOR CODE

WASHINGTON. Nov. %. U.P) -
The government was prepared to-
day to assume complete control Of
the entire liquor industry next week.
A federal alcohol control admin
istration was provided for in an
AAA marketing agreement for dis
tillers which was signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Warm Springs,
Ga, last night.
The marketing agreement. or So
called distillers' code, was designed
to control the industry from the
time Of rep,al next Tuesday until
congress enacts permanent legisla-
ton. It is relied upon to eliminate
eXcesses and abuses of the liquor
traffic and the evils of bootlegging.
The President said that it in no
way limited the regulatory author
ity of the states.
The control administration will
issue operating permits for distill-
cries, regulate prices, establish fair
trade practices, control plant capa-
city and production, receive detailed
reports of operations, and have full
access at all times to liquor manu-
facturers' books. It was set up over
the protests of distillerS.

COLD POLICY
To CONTINUE

WASHINGTON, Nov %. U.P)-
Despite a lull in it's gold operations
to lend stability to the government
bond market, the administration
was represented on highest auth
ority today as determined to push
the program whenever conditions
permitted, despite active opposi-
tion.
Reports on latest developments,
and perhaps recommendations for
caution, were assembled for Presi-
dent Roosevelt by Governor Eugene
Black of the federal reserve SyS-
TEN, who was scheduled to leave
today for a conference with the
executive at his Warm Springs, Ga,
vacation resort.
1t was learned that the recent lag
in the gold purchasing program, in
which the domestic gold price has
been pegged at $33.76 an ounce for
week, did not represent a change
in policy but merely halt until
government bonds could be stead
led. The previous rapid rise of the
gold price, depreciating the dollar,
had been blamed for the weakness
of the bonds last week.
Meanwhile, government experts
under the direction of Roswell Ma
gill, newly appointed treasury tax
expert attacked the problem OF
government credit from another
angle. Magill and Assistant Treas
ury Secretary Hewes were busy
framing new income tax legislation
for presentation on December 5 to
the house ways and means commit
tee.
The new bills, it was believed,
would be designed to plug up evas-
ion loopholes brought out in the
senate S stock market Investigations.
Indications were that the entire
income tax structure would be re-
built, but without increasing the
burden of taxes in the lower brac-
ketS.

U.p)-A code aimed at excessive

by President Roosevelt today.
The code of fair competition for
the motion picture industry, signed
by the President last night after
lengthy hearings in Washington and

ESTINAT TES ON
CANAL. GIVEN
BY ENGINEER
Frisbie Says Sand Hills Should
Give Little Trouble And Sets
Low Excavation Cost.

G. c. FriSbie, consulting engineer,
met with the irrigation district
board of directors this morning to
give its members an outline of sur
veys he had made of the route TO
be followed by the All-American
canal. Three such surveys had
been made under his direction, one
in 1915, another in 1918 and the
last one in 1926.
Among other facts Frisbie said
that little trouble can be looked for
from drifting sands in the sand hills
as by actual measurements and
computations made by himself dur
ing these three surveys the move
ment of sand was not such as to
hinder the construction work or fill
the canal after it had been dug.
He said further that he thought
the section west Of Pilot Knob
could be done at an extremely
reasonable cost. figuring five or
seven cents per cubic yard as an
outside cost. He spoke of the drain
age ditch work done by the dis
trict on which bids Of II cents had
been made by contractors and that
it was finally done by the district
itself at a cost of between eight
and nine cents.
The meeting Of the board with
the Coachella directors which had
been scheduled for tomorrow night
in Riverside was changed to TO-
night after telephone communica-
tions with C. L. Childers, attorney
for the district, who made the ar
rangements with the Coachellans
This meeting is for the purpose OF
further discussing the withdrawal
of the suit for the valuation of the
canal contract before opening OF
canal construction bids next month
A conference on this subject was
held here last week and it ended
with the understanding that anoth-
er meeting was to be held at which
the proposals made by either side
were to be more thoroughly dis
cussed and a decision in the mat
ter reached. The meeting is to be
at $50 O'Clock.

Reaction to Governor Rolph's as

The Rev. DR.. Henry Darlington,
pastor of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of Heavenly Rest, Fifth

telegram to Rolph: "Congratula-

He explained his action:
II depreciate lynching, but at this
time the country needed something
to crystalize thought and to put the
fear of God into the hearts of Grim
inals."
Newspaper opinion was almost
completely condemnatory, although
the New York Daily News thought
the number of criminals who have
escaped severe penalties had plant
ed a distrust of the law in many
minds. 1t traced the beginning OF
this feeling to the Loeb-Leopolo

them from the death penalty, must

MONEY POLICY

NEW YORK, Nov. %. U.P)-The
Roosevelt monetary policy was bull
warked by the spirited defense of
a Catholic priest today after three
national organizations had de-
nounced it and demanded a show
down.
Seven thousand persons jammed
the auditorium of the Hippodrome
last night to hear Father Charles
E. Coughlin, militant priest, de-
mand that the nation "Stop RooSe-
velt from being stopped.'
At Carnegie hall, a few blocks
uptown, a smaller crowd heard an
American Federation of Labor exc
cutive demand revaluation of the
administration IS monetary plan.
Speakers for the American Legion
and the Crusaders insisted that
"inflation be STAYED off,
Criticism of the administration
leveled by former Governor Alfred
E. Smith, Matthew Woll, vice-pres-
ident of the American Federation
of Labor, and Prof. o. M. w.
Sprague was "for the purpose Of
perpetuating the seat, not Of capt.
talism, but of Morganism the
priest charged.
Woll sounded the keynote of the
second meeting when he termed
the gathering of representatives OF
the federation, the Legion, and the
anti-prohibition group "an active
/ alliance for the preservation OF
sound national monetary policies
and the safeguarding Of fixed in
comes, savings and protective funds
of the great mass of our people. y
Fred G.. Clark, president of the
Crusaders, said his organization had
decided its work twas not done

of "sound government.
Consequently, the Crusaders,
Clark said, were organizing "sound
