Billy Burke, who wore down George von Elm in the famous national open marathon of 72 holes, spends most of his time teaching new tricks to his old dog, Jerry. Jerry is here now and, if kicked har denough, will dutifully do somersaults, hand stands, and back flips. He followed Billy the full 18 holes today and didn't get in the way more than 200 times. Mrs. Byron Nelson knitted her husband a pair of socks while he shot his 68. And when he missed his putt for a 67 she dropped at least ten stitches. The most philanthropic gent we have met in many years is the Pittsburgh book maker who came out yesterday and generously offered odds of 6 to 1 on Harry Cooper; 8 to on Sammy Enead, and 2 to on Henry Picard, Horton Smith, Paul Runyan and Gene Sarazen. He didn't get much play because the newspaper boys quoted between 20 and 30 to o nthe same players.

 Nome, Alaska.
 My Dear Sir;
 On the l2 of this June, it will be 32 years since 1 left the dear old town of Nome, which is a long. long time, in this fast chan g ing age. I expect that there are very few of the old timers left.
 I often catch my mind wander ing back to the barren shores of Boring Sea. and the dear old town of Nome, and wonder how every thing is there now.
 I went to Nome in 1899 and was a member of the first city council under the old Consent Govern ment. If the details, and admin iStration of that Council could be reprodueed,it would make very interesting picture, that would make Hollywood sit up and take

 I stayed in Nome seven years and enjoyed every minute of it and If l was younger man ] would soon wend my way back 10 the far North, where I passed ten of the happiest years of my life.
 There are many things I would like to ask about, but as I have not heard from Nome for many years, I will close by asking you to send me your paper, to the amount of $1.00, money order, which you will find herein.
 Hoping to receive the paper,

time they pay current assessments.
This is not the case, he said.

TWO OFFICIALS
AR R ESTED IN
B BRIBERY CASE
Board of Equalization
y Executives Under
Suspicion

LOS ANGELES, Feb. "a.
(UP)-Two officials of the
State Board of Equalization
were taken in custody today
on suspicion of accepting
bribes in an asserted liquor Ii
cense fixing case.
District Attorneys Investigator
Charles Griffin reported that his
men had arrested George X.
Thornton, deputy in the sales tax
division OF the equalization board
and Milton A. Huot, prosecutor
for the liquor trial division OF
the equalization board.
Arraignment was postponed tenn
porarily pending action on the
case by the county grand jury,
probably tomorrow. Griffin said.
According to the investigator,
Thornton was taken in custody at
small cafe when he assertedly
accepted $100 in marked money!
from Mrs. Agnes T. O'Brien toI
obtain renewal of a liquor license,
Officers asserted Thornton, when
confronted with the marked mon-
ey, led them to Huot's apartment
where he handed the money to the
attorney who also was taken in
custody
Huot denied he was taking the
money to fix license, claiming
it was his fee in a civil suit
he handled for Thornton.
The investigators said Mrs. o.
Brien informed them yesterday OF
Thornton's asserted attempt to SOL
icit money from her.
Ray Edgar, southern California
district member of the State Board
of Equalization, first knowledge of
which came to him this morning
said:
II am deeply grieved that any
of our employees should lay them
selves open to suspicion, though
I am aware the temptations to go
wrong are always before those con-
nected with liquor control. or who
handle money.
"If they succumb to such temp
tation, however, they must take
the consequences of their act.
1.-THE accused men will be S(ncv
pended pending hearing OF
charges against them. The b1G1 N
has no desire or intention to ins y
terfere with or harass other pub
lie officials in carrying out their
duty.
THE charges made against
these men should not be consider
ed a reflection upon other employ
es of the board who are conscien-
tiously performing their duties
without fear or favor"
