Liquor Dividend
Will Be Declared
June Payment May Exceed First
Cut Of 100000; Reserve
Fund

OLYMPIA, June II A
second dividend" in liquor profits,
equal to or larger than the $4OO, 600
given the state, counties and cities
in March, will be declared by the
state liquor board shortly.
Under terms of the liquor law,
profits are divided up every three
months. During March, April and
May, the board made a net profit of
$606 ,4O8 from licenses, beer taxes
and sale Of $2,744,457 worth of
liquor.
The size of the June melon
which will be sliced has not been
announced as yet, but may exceed
the first payment. When the March
10 cuts were handed out, the state
general and old age pension funds
got 100000 and 100000 was divided
up among counties and cities on a
population basis.
Provide Reserve Fund
The 1885 legislature changed the
law to require the board to hold
"such amount not exceeding $780,
600 as may be necessary for proper
administration of the law" as a re-
serve fund. This fund might be ST.
900 or 100000, at the boards dis
erection, with the remainder Of the
profits being divided up.
The board probably will make
only one more division Of profits, in
September, under the old percent
ages: 80 per cent to the state gen.
eral fund, 20 per cent to old age
pensions and SO per cent to coun-
ties and cities.
Increase States Share
Under an amendment to the
liquor law passed by the legislature,
after September 80 profits will go
70 per cent to the state and 30 per
cent to cities.
The reason given, when the Law
was passed, for cutting the counties
and cities share 20 per cent was that
the state has taken over the burden
of relief and old age pensions.
Backers of pensions urged the legis-
lature to remove the stigma Of
liquor money" from them.

OLYMPIA, June II = Evil
dence of a falling birth rate in
washington in the postwar era was
seen in an announcement today by
the state department Of education
that grammar school enrolment fell
off nine per cent between 1927 and
1885.
At the same time, high school
students increased about Is per
cent. School officials credited the
rise to the greater tendency to con-
tinue children's education and the
depression, with it's lack of jobs for
young people.
High Schools Gain
In 1927 there were 258,141 stu
dents in grade schools. This gradu-
ally declined to 236,310 last school
year. High school students leaped
from 1884 in 1927 to 1O0,198 in
1884.
The falling birthrate during the
period 1918 to 1922, the past war
period, is making itself felt in grade
schools all over the United States.
High schools of Washington gradu-
ated 1860 in 1927 and 1858 last
year.

Grafton, Ray G. Molitzer, chief Of
the collection division of the tax
commission, reported today.
The 1885 legislature enacted an
other occupational tax with slightly
different percentages under the big
revenue bill. It was expected to
raise about 100000 year, con-
siderably less than the old tax.
In addition to actual collections,
the former levy has about $780,
900 in taxes tied up in court suits
and about 100000 in taxes delin-
quent, Molitzer said. If all these can
be collected, total income from the
old law will approach $4,000, 900 for
the % months, the same amount the
retail sales tax is expected to raise.

Although newspapermen refused
to believe that crickets had been
found feeding on bull snakes as well

Assemblyman Ray Williamson,
San Francisco, introduced series
of bills tightening up the franchise
tax act as means of increasing
state revenue by an estimated $237,-

A severance tax on oil was pro-
posed by Assemblyman S. L. Hell

BONUS GROUP
BADLY SPLIT
ON INF FLAT.|ON
Legion Backed Bill Providing
For No Monetary Expansion
To Be Introduced.
By EDWARD w. LEWIS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Con-
gressional soldiers bonus advocates
split in a serious row over initiation
today, definitely endangering the
long fight for legislative approval
at time when the fight appeared
won.
Sponsorship by the American
Legion of a bonus bill without a
currency Lexpansion provision broke
the bon<s bloc into two segments.
One group planned to go along
with Rep. Wright l.. Patman, au-
thor of the $2,O15, 100000 "green-
back" bonus bill. The other, hes
liant to accept initiation, will sup
port the Legion measure, introduced
by Rep Fred NJ. Vinson Dem)
Kentucky.
Patman, leader of the congress
sional bonus drive since the bonus
army days, predicted that the house
would defeat the VinSon measure.
81 don't think the house will
pass a bonus bill without the cur
rency expansion feature in it." Pat
man said. 1t was recalled that last
session his bill shot through the
house by a better than two to one
majority.
Vinson, whose bill differs in es-
sential details from Patman's only
in providing that the treasury may
choose its own mode of payment,
differed with his colleague. 81 be-
lieve my bill will be enacted" he
said.
Patman's warning against the
possible outcome of a division OF
forces, came as anti-bonuS groups
became active. The American Vet
Grams association in a page adver-
tisement in the Saturday Evening
Post today started a nationwide poll
of veterans and citizens "opposed
to the veterans pension racket"
Members of the Patman bloc
warned that failure of bonus bill
to include the currency initiation
feature would cause many bonus
advocates to vote against it. They
would be hesitant to support bill
which ultimately might mean the
administration could ask new taxes
in order to carry the cost of i'm
mediate payment.
The house ways and means COM
mittee will decide Thursday when
to start hearings on bonus legisla-
ton.

PAIR ACCUSED OF SMUGGLING AND
ASSAULTING OFFICER HELD HERE

Wayne Frazier, 80, and James w.
Berry, "a, both claiming to be resi-
dents of Salinas together with
Wong Young, A, and Woon Tui, 40,
alien Chinese, are in the county Jail
awaiting further action by immi-
grafton officers following three ex-
citing days for members of the
border patrol stationed here.
The circumstances which led up
to the arrest of the quartette are
still being investigated by immigra-
ton officers and it is presumed
that Frazier and Berry, besides
being prosecuted for smuggling the
Chinese into this country may also
face charges in federal court for an
attack made upon Inspector Harry
c. Thomas, late Saturday night. Re-
cent legislation sets punishment for
an attack with deadly weapon
upon a federal officer while he is
in the performance of his duty at
not more than $4,000 III fine or not
more than 10 years in the federal
penitentiary.
Details of the attack on Inspector
Thomas we're carried in The Press
yesterday and are substantially the
same as contained in statement
issued by H. @. Gerrish, chief in
spector of the border patrol, this
morning.
Inspector Gerrish's report states
that about 10:30 o'clock Saturday

WARE HEARING
BEFORE u. S.
COURT TODAY

Hearing on a requested injunction
brought against r. w. Ware, sheriff
OF Imperial county by E. M. Piper
which was to have been held in fed
eral court yesterday afternoon was
postponed until 10 o'clock this
morning. Ware and Elmer Heald,
district attorney, returned to the
valley last night but Heald went
back to San Diego this morning for
the hearing. ..-.
1t will probably be Heald's con-
tention that as Ware was not sheriff
of this county at the time the action
complained of by Piper took place,
he could not be party to the suit.
Piper seeks an injunction against
the sheriff to allow used car cara
vans going to either Los Angeles or
San Diego to pass through the val
ley. Several weeks ago proceedings
were taken against one of these
caravans for non-payment of wages
to drivers of the cars and the in
junction suit was brought after
wage payments had been made.

R|CKENbACKER
MARK CLIPPED
BY D00L|TTLE

NEW YORK, JAN Is. U.P)-
Major Jimmy Doolittle came roar
ing in from the west today, shot
his l0-passenger transport plane
over lower New York and touched
its wheels at Floyd Bennett field
for a new trans-continental rec
ord of IL hours SO minutes.
The big plane in which Doolit-
tie, his wife, Josephine and Robert
Adamson flew from Burbank, Calf,
raced the early morning sun across
New Jersey 20 clip approximately
four minutes and SO seconds from
the record held by Capt. Eddie
Rickenbacker.
Flying at attitudes ranging from
$4,000 to 10000 feet, the speed pilot
set a furious pace across the con-
tinent, virtually without being
sighted and without halting.
At sunrise, however, his radio
messages indicated that he was
doubtful of reaching New York by
$3.50 a. m. (EST), which was neces-
sary to break the record. Then at
TBS a. m. came word that he was
flying over Cape May, N. j., on a
direct line fop Floyd Bennett Field.
Hopes for a record were dim
ming when the plane shot over
Floyd Bennett Field and down with
a roar. The timer watch regis
tered 1925 a. m.
Doolittle did not stop, however.
He sent the ship up again and
headed for Newark airport in New
Jersey, where he landed at 8:341a a.
m.
Rickenbacker IS record was set at
Newark mark of IL hours, three
minutes and so seconds. Doolittle
set his mark at Floyd Bennett
which is II miles further east.

NEW DAMAGE
ACTION FILED
BY YOUNGSTER

Harold P. Young and Harold s.
Young filed a new action yesterday
afternoon against the Boy Scouts Of
America, mperial-Yuma area coun-
Gil of the Boy Scouts, Henry Web
ster, George Chavez and A. A. San
davol, asking damages totalling
$102,428 for personal injuries.
The complaint states that on
January IS, 1884, as troop OF
Calexico scouts were returning from
a trip on bicycles, Harold P. Young.
a member of the troop received
severe personal injuries when run
down by an automobile in which
Chavez and Sandavol were riding.
The accident happened in the eve
ming about miles northwest Of
Calexico.
The complaint further charges
the council and Webster with negli-
gence in that the boys were allowed
to ride along the road back to CAL
exico without having lights on their
bicycles.
A suit similar to this was brought
against the same defendants last
year and was apparently ended sew
eral weeks ago when Judge Nc
Pherrin sustained demurrer filed
by the defendants without leave to
amend. This suit had asked dam
ages of $77,305 and was ordered dis
missed yesterday in order that the

FLEMINGTON, N. j., Jan. 15.-
Herbert j. Walter, a Chicago hand
writing expert, today became the
fourth in the government battery
of scientists to declare Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann the author of the
Lindbergh ransom letters.
A lanky man, with a profession
al manner-and much younger
than the elderly experts who pre-
ceded him-Walter faced the jur-
ors from his witness chair and de-
livered another of the innumerable
lectures they have been given on
the art and science of handwriting

He said at the outset of his test
imony that he believed the Bronx
carpenter penned the IA letters re-
ceiyed by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh
and DR.. John F.. Condor, demand
ing from $4,000 to $4,000 ransom,
and making arrangements for pay
ment of the money.
Walter gave the appearance of a
young instructor in an English de-
partment of some university. He
spoke nasally clipping each word
distinctly, and talking directly into
the faces of his "pupils.
Beside him stood black and
white chart containing magnified
examples of those sections of the
ransom notes which he was called
upon to analyze.

the occupants of the Hupmobile
cabriolet, Thomas opened the back
compartment and discovered two
contraband Chinese.
Just then, without warning, he
was struck from the rear by a per-
son who Immediately pinioned his
arms and he was unable to reach
for his pistol. The other man then
joined the assault, took Thomas
pistol from its holster and beat him
severely over the head and shoul-

down under the rain of blows, he
was dragged behind some brush and
left there.

INJURIES IN
CAR ACCIDENT
PROVE FATAL

q John P. Jones. formerly of I'M
4 perial but of late a resident of
Banning, died in the county
hospital last night of injuries said
to have been received in an auto-
mobile accident near Imperial the
night of December 80. He had suf-
fered a fractured pelvis and ruptur-
ed bladder in the accident. An op-
GRAFTON was performed at the coun-
ty hospital and Jones seemed on the
road to recovery when he suddenly
died last night.
Information obtained this morn
ing at the highway patrol office is
to the effecE that Jones was found
on the sides of the highway near
Imperial on the night of December
80 and was taken to the office of
Dr.. G. v. Gray and thence to the
county hospital.
A model T Ford pickup, register
ed to John P. Jones, Imperial, was
standing nearby on the east side of
the highway. However, the report
states, the car was standing up
right and showed no signs of hav-
ing been in collision except that
the tenders showed the car had
struck the pavement corresponding
with scratches on the concrete road.
The report did not say whether
Jones was in or out of the car at
the time he was found. Jones ,
death, though the result Of a 1884
accident, is the second this year
from an automobile accident.
