More Power Over Sale
Of Liquor Favored
Times Staff Correspondents

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 15.-De'
termined to give State authorities
more power in controlling the sale
of liquor in Virginia, House and
Senate committee moved yester-
day to strike at nip joints" and
bootleggers who sold whiskey dur
ing late night hours and on Sun
day.
The Senate Committee on
Moral, Social and Child Welfare
unanimously reported a bill pro
viding for a mandatory minimum
punishment Of 80 days in jail and
a fine Of $50 for persons found
guilty of the illegal possession,
sale or manufacture Of liquor.
The House Courts of Justice Com
mittee reported unanimously a
bill providing that courts may pre-
vent persons so convicted from
buying liquor for IL months.
WORKING ON CALENDAR
The period Of interdiction may
also be extended by the court for
as long time as seen fit, under
provisions of the bill reported out
by the House committee.
Virtually all of yesterdays &C
tivities in the assembly was con-
fined to the numerous committee
hearings, while the regular session
of the house and senate worked
rapidly to clear their already con-
gested calendars.
A public hearing on the women's
nine-hour work day bill and the
child labor bill was scheduled for
today, following a hearing yester-
day by the senate general laws
committee.
The women's work bill passed
the house last week and would
limit the work of a woman in Vir-
ginia to 48 hours a week and nine
hours a day, with few exceptions
being allowed for the daily limit
in industries handling seasonal
products.
CHILD LABOR TERMS
Terms of the child labor bill
would prohibit employment of per-
sons under 18 years of age except
upon certification of a public
health or public school physician,
and would limit weekly work to
40 hours.
Meanwhile, q public rearing
which was to have been held yes
terday afternoon on the proposed
Statewide Jail reform bill was
postponed after a three-hour con-
ference with Governor Price failed
to bring an agreement.
Controversy over this bill, which
would greatly reduce the number
of jails in the State and establish
an installment payment plan of
fines, is centered chiefly around
the question of whether proba-
ton should be placed in the hands
of such elective officers as Sheriffs
and city Sergeants, or be placed
under the Jurisdiction Of trained
welfare workers.

The tuberculoSisravaged BODY
of Mario Montalbano, 26. was
found on a Brooklyn sidewalk, a
bullet through his heart and his
hand still clutching the gun with
which he had shot his wife, Sadie,
%, to death.
In a vacant lot in Paterson, po-
lice found the body of Richard
Furnival, 26, a bullet through his
head. He had ambuShed and
killed his wife, Jeannette, %. as
she alighted from bus last night.
SPURNED BY WIFE
Montalbano, a tuberculosis suf-
ferer, returned from health
seeking excursion to Arizona a
month ago, but his wife declined
a reconciliation, despite his plead
ings.
Yesterday it was her turn to
plead-for her life. AS she knelt
before him begging him not to
shoot, Montalbano fired bullets
into her head and neck and fled.
The romance of Richard Furni-
val. which likewise ended in
death, was a brief one. Married
last June, the couple quarreled
and parted.
Mrs. Furnival went to work in
a department store. Furnlval, llV-
ing with his mother since the es-
arrangement, disappeared several
days ago, taking a revolver with
him. He told his mother he was
going to look for work.
ENDS OWN LIFE
AS Jeanette stepped from a
bus a block from her home she
walked into a fusillade OF shots.
She staggered and ran screaming
down the street. A man darted
from a clurnp of bushes and fired
the fatal bullet.
Neighbors told of hearing an
other shot a few minutes after
Jeannette was felled. A search OF
vacant lots in the area disclosed
Furnivals body, crumpled over a
revolver.

New Golf Shaft Intrigues.

COME of the local professionals are
getting excited over an announce
ment appearing in the P. 6. A. maga-
zine about new type of golf shaft
for which is claimed advantages over
steel and hickory So enthusiastic
are the advance predictions about the
new shaft that if it lives up to its
claimed merits it will undoubtedly be
hot stuff for any golfer.
The shaft Is put out BY a
Scottish company. and Is called
"Danga WOOD" which may be
trade name or the name Of =
kind Of wood. Encyclopedias do
not carry any reference to
"danga" tree.
Among the extravagant claims for
the new shafts is that they are yards
longer than steel-shafted clubs, that
they are about one club longer than
steel, that they can be finished in the
same thickness Of steel and that they
have the kick and feel Of hickory.
1t all sounds too good to be true,
particularly when the makers claim
the woods will knock q golf ball 20
yards beyond steel-shafted wooden
clubs. Whatever the case, Fred Nc
Leod has an order in for q set of
danga-shafted clubs and we'll know
about it in q short time.
Wonder how It will fit In with
the study now being made by
the United States Golf Associa-
ti0n to shorten the distance to
which golf balls may be driven?
Granted the claims for the new
shaft are true. 1t would be crime
to put 'em in the hands Of such
sluggers as Jimmy Thomson and
