SEND DESTROYE TO ALBANIA To Cooperate with LoAuthorities Against Bandit Slayers WASHINGTON, April 8. JUSTICE General Prohibition Agent Testifies Before the Senate Committee WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON (U.N.S. Staff Correspondent) Washington, April 8. — An amazing story of liquor law violators purchasing criminal immunity from the department of justice thrus the payment of civil "fine" was related today by Bryce F. Armstrong, general prohibition agent, in testifying before the Wheeler-Brookhart committee. The "fines" Armstrong said, were paid direct to the department in Washington by officials of breweries caught in dry law violations. Armstrong cited the Western Brewery Co. at Belleville, Ill., where 18 barrels of illegal beer were seized. "We recommended criminal prosecution and saw the United States district attorney, W. O. Potter, at East St. Louis," said Armstrong. "He told me I don't need more evidence, I have plenty now, but I just got orders from the department of justice to noil prose the case and I will do so in a few days." The case was noil pressed." "I was told later by the secretary of the brewing company that they had paid a $5000 fine to the department as a compromise to have all proceedings dropped. It was a civil liability settlement." Armstrong charged the Standard Beverage Co. of Chicago, now under injunction, "was running freely, altho technically in the hands of the United States marshal" and that the department of justice "had protested" against the filing of criminal charges against the company. As a result the committee decided to subpoena E. C. Yellowley, prohibition chief. Armstrong further charged that all liquor law violators "knew in advance what their sentences would be before the pleaded guilty." "Who was collecting for the treasury dept. down there?" "I know the men and they collected graft every day." "This wasn't in the department," Paul Howland, attorney for Former Attorney General Daugherty, protested. "I know that," Senator Wheeler retorted, "but we want to bring out here that the treasury department was negligent in the handled liquor withdrawals and brewery permits." A new feature, affecting particularly Anaheim and tourist traffic, in connection with the new airline highway via Marcelester-ave, Los Angeles-co to Orangeco was introduced today, when Supervisor W. M. Schunmacher declared that the road, before branching off to Santa Ana, should be extended from Anaheim to the Santa Ana canyon road. If this were done, hundreds of thousands of tourists would be attracted thru this city. While the natural course would be via Lincoln-ave, Center-st and the Olive-rd, the first named would have to be widened, and Anaheim probably wouldn't want its principal business street to be used, at least in the heart of the city. Schunmacher's plan is appropos because the representatives of the principal cities involved in Orange-co and near the Los Angeles-co border will meet next Thursday evening at 7:30 at the Norwalk C. of C. rooms to discuss rights of way and other matters. Anaheim, Buena Park, Fullerton and Placentia will have three representatives each at the gathering, and Santa Ana also will be represented. The general route is parallel to the Southern Pacific tracks, as far as West Anaheim at least. Already, according to Schumacher, the curbs have been put in some extent over the proposed course in Los Angeles-co.

Armstrong said a man named W. O. Flowers was arrested on a dry law violation and confessed he paid $1500 to a "negro politician named McGowan" to fix his case. CLAIM POWDER CO. DEFRAUDED GOV'T WASHINGTON, April 8.—Charges that the government was defrauded during the war by the Dupont Powder Co. and the Louisville and Nashville Rye, were made today before the Wheeler-Brookhart committee by George W. Stock, a government accountant, who surveyed the Old Hickory Powder plant in Tennessee, a subsidiary operated for the government. Stock said he recommended that $5,000,000 could be recovered from the company while others set the amount as high as $20,000,000. He declared that his secret plans of investigation for the Old Hickory case were turned over by the department of Justice attorneys for the Dupont interns, thereby revealing the basis the government's slack in the crime and preventing his own gathering evidence.

Wrapped in a pair of women's bloomers in a careful manner, the tiny package was tied over a Los Angeles newspaper dated Sunday. It had been placed near the highway, where it attracted Cornelius' attention because he previously had lost a pair of overalls, similarly wrapped, on this road. The body was two miles north of Huntington Beach. Authorities of Santa Ana and Huntington Beach were investigating a report of Undertaker Gorrell of the beach city that the body was slightly warm when it was brought to him and that it was of premature birth.

A new entry today into the already warm municipal campaign was a political organization self-styled the "Good Government League." Its slate was announced as follows: Councilmen — Wm. Stark and Emory E. Knipe for four-year term and J. E. Schumacher and Howard Gates for two-year term; city clerk—Edward Merritt; treasurer—Chas. A. Boege. No great enthusiasm was noted for the "league" on the street or with certain candidates, including Emory E. Knipe, one of those endorsed. In fact, Knipe addressed a letter to Secretary Hugh Grant of the "league" repudiating its endorsement and insisting that his name be stricken from the slate asserting that "I cannot conscientiously permit my name to be placed beside those of Wm. Stark and Howard Gates, members of the present administration," his letter in full follows: Annaheim, Cal., April 8, 1924. Mr. Hugh Grant, Annaheim, Cal. Dear Sir, It has come to my attention that a political organization terming itself "The Good Government League," of which you are secretary, has placed my name upon its slate. I must insist that my name be withdrawn at once from this slate. I cannot conscientiously permit my name to be placed beside those of Wm. Stark and Howard Gates, members of the present administration. I feel that it would be political suicide for me in this campaign to be linked in any way with the present administration against which public sentiment is so overwhelmingly aligned. In other words, I cannot permit myself to be used as a crutch for your slate. I feel that the public is demanding a complete change in the administration of civic affairs and there is no use to do a half way job of it.

Water will be spouting night and day from the four drinking cups or places. Donations are rolling in by the hundreds to the club's auction sale committee. Hardly had the club announced its intention of holding an auction sale of general merchandise, says a leading member, than merchants thruout the city began sending articles of unusual value. The sale is for the benefit of the fountain. The club was immediately forced to rent a warroom to store the donations. "Not many causes stir one to living automobiles, furniture,ings, sewing machines and the like," said the Lion interviewed. "but the great public spirit of the Lions' club has brought about just this thing, and now one of the most interesting and probably most profitable events of the sort in the county is assured. The public is given the opportunity to bid on goods and wares of considerable worth, which the auctioneer will sell regardless of cost. All the club asks of the public, according to the committee in charge, is just to present when your judgment will tell you to join the enthusiastic bidders." And, folks, your money comes back to you. Now, isn't that unusual? Let's all be there! The club has been holding for several months a fund with the object in view of erecting a fountain, and the plans were made so elaborate that it is now realized the several hundreds of dollars on hand cannot complete the structure. Side those of Wm. Stark and Howard Gates, members of the present administration. I feel that it would be political suicide for me in this campaign to be linked in any way with the present administration against which public sentiment is so overwhelmingly aligned. In other words, I cannot permit myself to be used as a crutch for your slate. I feel that the public is demanding a complete change in the administration of civic affairs and there is no use to do a half way job of it. Sincerely, EMORY E. KNIPE. The rejection of a slate for city council must have presented considerable difficulties to the league" as it is known that at least one other candidate was approached with an offer of endorsement and promptly turned it down for the same reason, fear of political suicide in being hocked up to Stark and Gates, holdovers from the present administration. The repudiation of the slate by these candidates apparently leaves the "Good Government League" only Hobson's choice of placing the mantle of its favor on Al Pape, night watchman, former brewer worker and known as an active opponent of the 18th amendment. The fear of being drawn down to defeat with Stark and Gates was considered today as merely another evidence of the ground-swell of sentiment against the present administration which has been seeking for some time and has burst forth in pronounced manner within the last few days. Public sentiment has been growing against Stark and Gates ever since they took so pronounced a stand in support of G. B. Brown as city recorder, against whom serious and sweeping charges of unfitness for office were presented. Brown resigned after making full admission to the charges including concession that he had consorted with bootleggers. Stark and Gates bitterly resented anyone questioning the fitness of Brown for office and refused to make investigation of the records throwing the entire burden of inquiry upon other citizens were more interested in cleanliness.
