SPREE LEADS
TO JAIL CELL

The first Is minutes John Cook
spent in California were event.
full ones for Cook, his wife and
two children, inspectors and dep
uty sheriffs. The excitement, how
ever, wore him down.
Cook, according to Charles Nice.
county INDECENT commissioner.
stopped in Yuma and spent the
last money he had for two bottles
of whiskey. He drank one and
secreted the other in the car and
headed across the bridge for the
land of opportunity. said Nice.
Whisky, apparently, made Cook
a trifle impatient with the bag
gage inspection at the state line.
He jumped into the car and drove
off across the landscape in the
general direction OF Winterhaven
Then he abandoned the car and
took to his heels. Deputy Sheriff
John Crousen decided to let him
run himself down.
Late Thursday night, said Nice,
Cook appeared at a Winterhaven
home as wet as the proverbial
drowned rat. When the door OPEN
ed to show him shivering on the
doorstep. Cook said, "1'm an es-
capped convict. Can / come in and
get dried out?" according to Nice.
Cook was taken to Jail and his
family bedded down for the night
in the court room.
When Nice interviewed Mrs.
Cook the next day, he asked her
why they came to California.
I'VE came to get relief" she
said. There amt no relief in
Oklahoma" There is none here,
either, said the INDECENT officer.
"Oh yes there is" insisted the
woman, There's lots OF relief in
California" Nice is engaged in
preparations for sending the wom-
an and children back to Oklahoma
while Cook takes his chances on q
drunk driving charge.

many cases."
The purposes of the Los Angeles

TRASH COLLECTION
HELD INADEQUATE
Determinations Against North
Randle Area Charged at
Meeting.

1ntimations that residents Of the
North Randle section of Washington
do not receive as complete service in
trash removal as other parts of the
Capital were made last night by
Thomas Bethel of the Public Utilities
Committee of the North Randle Citi-
zens' Association, at an association
meeting.
Bethel said he had been informed
through questioning collectors of trash
In the North Randle section that they
had instructions to remove any type
Of rubbish in other parts of WASH
tngton, while in the North Randle
area they removed only the type of
rubish as required by law. He said
complaints from North Randle citi-
zens elected only a copy Of the laws
governing the removal of rubbish and
letter explaining them.
In response to members sugges-
ton that better service could be OBJ
tanned by an occasional tip to the
collector, Bethel said the issue was
not a matter of personal service but
& community matter.
His request was taken under con-
sideration.
The Committee on Schools was in
structed to draw up a petition to be
signed by every member of the COM
munity, both members and non-mem-
bers Of the association, for presenta-
ton to the Board of Educa ton, the
Budget Bureau and the District Com
missioners, asking that an appropria-
ton for a permanent elementary
school for the North Randle area be
included in the District budget for
the next fiscal year.

REYNOLDS SPEAKS
AT D. A. R. SESSION
Banquet Closes Conference
of D. c. Unit-Senator
Hits Aliens.

District Daughters of the American
Revolution closed their annual con-
ference last night with a banquet
at the Willard Hotel, concluding two
days of meetings in Memorial Cont
mental Hall.
At the closing business session yes
terday afternoon, the delegates heard
Senator Reynolds, Democrat of North
Carolina, deliver an address on aliens
and immigration.
Fifty per cent more aliens than
ever before are seeking American cit
izenship in order to share in benefits
of the social security act, Reynolds
said. He charged this was due to "a
selfish reason" and advocated tight
ening of immigration laws along the
lines of bills he is sponsoring in the
Senate-to require f1ngerprinting and
registration of all aliens, to deny
them the right to receive direct or
work relief or salary from the Fed
eral Government, and further to re-
strict entrance of aliens into this
country.
There are 100000 aliens in this
country today" Reynolds declared,
land the Government itself doesn't
know where they are located. They
have never applied for American cit
izenship until now. If they had re-
spect and love for the American flag
and form of government, they un-
questionably would have made appli-
cation for citizenship heretofore"
The present social security act pro-
vides that only American citizens can
participate permanently in its provi-
sions. This, said Reynolds, has in
creased applications for citizenship.
The law will be so changed" he pre-
dicted, 80 they can't participate in
the benefits Of American citizenship"
The conference, by vote of 60 to
Is, decided yesterday to increase
frum IS cents per member per year to
81 the per capital tax for the fund,
to be devoted to construction of a
chapter house Mrs. Charles Carroll
Haig, the regent, presided There is
now 100000 in the chapter house
fund, it was reported.
