FERRYBOAT
HERDS DEER IN
NOVEL RACE

HALIFAX. N. S., June II. UP)-
It was daffodil day for the ami
mails and wild things in Nova SEQ
tia today, starting with two deer
racing ferryboat across Halifax
harbor and winding up with a
black duck having nintuplets at
the city ZOO and a crow Matching
chickens at Londonderry.
The deer provided the best spec
tacle, almost running over a police
man as they dashed through traf-
fic, overlook ferryboat loaded with
commuters and were headed for
Europe on the Great Circle route
when the ferryboat overlook them.
The docks at the suburban ferry
slip, where the deer took off, were
lined with cheering people as the
ferryboat captain, at the demand
of passengers, herded the pair back
to shore
The blessed event of the black
duck at the public gardens was
not entirely unexpected, but the
motherhood of the crow was
surprise to everybody but Ronald
Carter, of Londonderry, who ad-
mitted he got disguised with an
incubator and put hens eggs in
the crows nest in the hope some
thing would happen.

So INDICTED
IN RUM PLOT

LOS ANGELES. June II. U.P)-
Fifty-eight persons in more than a
dozen California cities today were
indicted on 43 counts for asserted
completely in a $5,000,000 illicit
rum conspiracy.
The indictments, voted by the
federal grand jury in secret Ses-
sion climaXed five year inveSti-
cation by federal agents of liquor
traffic on the coast. Two agents OF
the federal alcohol tax unit, who
had been working in San Fran
cisco. were called as witnesses.
1t was learned the two main dis
tillericS we're operated near Sole
dad and Holt. From these points
liquor was delivered to garages and
other establishments in Fresno for
distribution, it was alleged.
Persons allegedly involved lived
in San Francisco. Oakland. Los An
geleS, Alameda. Fresno, Santa Bar
bara Emcryville. San Luis OblSpo
and other cities.
Investigators claimed the con-
spiratorS maintained bank accounts
in the various cities, and said the
first transaction took place in
April. 1881. Three months later an
account was opened in San Fran
cisco bank and the conspiracy
thereafter was directed from there

the sixth point meant specifically
that lit will be demanded, for eX-
ample, of the Ford Motor corpora
ton to establish central grocery
and meat markets and sell to its
employees at no profit; that the
Ford Motor corporation, for ex-
ample, will establish central cloth
ing stores, and sell to its en-
ployeS at one-third the cost which
they are now paying for clothing" !"
Set-up of the complete organiza-
ton was described as:
l. Social justice councils (unin-
corporated and non -officered COM
posed of Christians, Catholic and
protestant, living in any given
neighborhood.
2. Workers Councils for Social
Justice. composed of workers in
any given factory or industry or
plant or profession or trade, etc.
while the Workers Council for
Social Justice will be incorporated,
nevertheless, its supporters, COM
posed of the Workmen themselves,
will not be Incorporated.
3. The National Union for Social
Justice incorporated; to this par
cnt organization all social justice
councils" are affiliated.
In a column written by Coughlin,
called the Indicator" he declared: ::
Immediately this movement for
social justice will be labelled Fas-
ciStic, American and anti-semi-
tic. Labels are cheap.
I'VE are pro-Christ 1000 per
cent. If the doctrines or the prac-
tices of the Brahmah the Moham-
medan or the Jew are not in har-
mony with Christ's doctrines 1000
per cent We are anti, even though
the enemies wish to call it so.
Really, we are pro-ChriSt.'

NEW TYPE OF
GOVERNMENT
SEEN IN u. S

los ANGEL ES. June IT. UR)-
Surrender of local and state re-
sponSibilities signify, new type of
government in the United States.
Carl H. ChattcrS. director of the
municipal finance officers of the
United States and Canada said
today.
Speaking TO educators. business
men and students at the ninth an
nual institute of government at
University of Southern California,
ChatterS blamed the change on a
lack of leadership among states
and their failure to provide prop
er revenue system. He warned:
"If local government survives it
can do SO only under certain con-
ditionS Useless units of govern
ment will have to be abandoned
demagogueS who would destroy To-
cal government for selfish ends
must be Squelched."
Earlier, Sanford Bates, former di-
rector of the United States bureau
of prisons, predicted the time is
coming when wardenS will know
each of their prisoners intimately
and individualize the penal system

JURY DECIDES ARMY OFFICER
SANE WHEN HE KILLED WIFE

SANTA CRUZ, Cal. June II. uP)
"A jury today decided after 25
hours deliberation that Major Al
Ian BoggS retired u. S. army Off
Ger, was sane when he shot and
killed his wife.
The verdict condemned Boggs to
death unless his conviction on
first degree MURDER charges is
reversed or executive clemency
spares his life. He was found guilty
OF murder in the same courtroom
here last week.
Four times before it reached its
decision, the jury selected to de-
termine BoggS' mental state asked
to be discharged because it was
deadlocked. Each time Superior
Judge James l.. Atteridge sent it
back TO deliberate further
Shortly after $50 pm. the jury
came back into the courtroom to
announce it was ready to report.
Its verdict was that Boggs was
sane, as testified by three state
alienistS. A defense alienist, DR..
Joseph Cation of San Francisco
had testified he believed the for
nier army officer was insane.
Boggs shot and killed his wife
in an Olive Springs home April II
after a family quarrel
She had left their Santa Cruz
home to spend the night with
friends. He went there entered her
bedroom and shot her. The room
had twin beds, and both had been
occupied. 1t was not until after
the shooting BoggS learned the
other ccupant was his wife's r.
year-old-Son by a former marriage.
AS Boggs was convicted and con-
demned to death after passage of
a legislative measure aroolishing
the galloWs and substituting a gas
chamber for executions, it was
consisered possible he would be
among the first to die under the
new law.
Sentence has not yet been pro-
nounced formally, as BoggS pleaded
both not guilty and not guilty by
reason of insanity. Under Califor-

REDISTRICTING
AUTHORIZED
BY MEASURE

LOS ANGELES. June 17.-Re-d -di-
vision of California to provide for
five districts of the State Board of
Equalization instead of the four
which have existed since formation
of the board in 1879 is authorized,
subject to the will of the people, by
assembly constitutional amendment
No. 4, passed at the recent session
of the legislature and now await
ing the governors signature.
According to Ray Edgar, mem
ber of the board, the amendment
provides that Los Angeles county
shall comprise a district in itself
with a member on the board. This
is in recognition of the important
part Los Angeles county plays in
contributing to state revenues. ap-
proXimately 45 per cent of all taxes
administered by the board coming
from that county.
Santa Barbara and Ventura
counties, now included in the fourth
district, will be transferred to the
second district.
The remaining counties of the
present fourth district, Riverside,
San Bernardino. Orange, Imperial
and San Diego. will comprise the
new, or fifth district.
AS the constitution provides that
all amendments to il must be APP
proved by the people before be-
coming effective. the amendment
will be placed before the voters of
the state for their action at the
general election in November, 1888,
unless a special election is called
before that time, Edgar explained.

Sierra county has the smallest
number Of state employees with
eight. and Alpine county is second
from the bottom of the list with
sixteen. Brownrigg said. The total
number of state employees, exclusive
of the University and Relief ad-
ministration, is about 10000
State employees make up about
one fourth of one percent of the
states total population This pro-
portion is true for the state en-
ployaes in nearly every couny. when
they are compared with the total
county population.
