THORNBURGH (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) (Copyright 1925 by I. N. S.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—Responsibility for local enforcement of prohibition laws during 1925 will be passed to city, county and state authorities, while the federal forces concentrate their efforts on the "big fellows," whose operations run into the realms of high finance. Federal Prohibition Director Roy A. Hynes made this statement to International News Service today in an interview outlined his plans for the next year. "Get the source, get the big fellow," will be the watchword of the federal authorities. "Cooperation of the federal, state and municipal governments will be the slogan for 1925." Haynes declared. "That will put the federal prohibition unit in a position to eliminate the sources of illicit whiskey supply and attack the big problems that confront us. I am confident that we shall accomplish much toward more and better effective enforcement of the law." "The federal government has been bled the support of the local authorities throughout the United States in the new year's campaign. This co-operation has been more in evidence during the last year than ever before and we have every confidence that it will reach the desired plane in 1925." "This cooperation is essential in arriving at real prohibition. It was the plan of framers of the Volunteer act that the petty violators should be taken care of locally and that the federal government, while exercising supervision over this enforcement, should concentrate on situations involving major violations." Haynes believes that the sources of so-called good quality beverage liquor," have been closed effectively during the past year and that today it is difficult to obtain anything but poisonous beverage whiskey.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—A regiment of the hopeless, led by 'Mr. Zero' champion of the jobless, is scheduled to march on the New York financial district tomorrow. This ragged army, 'Mr. Zero' said today, will stage a silent demonstration in front of the offices of rich vestrymen of Trinity Church. "We hope, thru this demonstration," said Urbain L. Ledoux, who is "Mr. Zero," to get the use of St. Augustine Chapel to shelter jobless men. The congregation of St. Augustine has only 50 persons. The church would house 1000 men who have no shelter. While the "regiment" is standing "heel to heel" at the curb, "Mr. Zero" will go, he said, to the offices of rich vestrymen and make his plea. "For three years I have been trying to get St. Augustine Chapel," said "Mr. Zero," "but always I have been put off. Several years ago I attended a conference of high church officials and asked about the Chapel but nothing came of it. I was told then that it was a matter for the vestrymen to decide. The proposition was to have been laid before the vestrymen. That's the last I ever heard or it." The regiment, 500 strong, was being organized today at The Tub." five-cent eating house which "Mr. Zero" maintains. The men are to march, according to "Mr. Zero's" plan, two by two down Broadway to Wall-st. and thence into Broad-st. There are to be two main orders. One will be "hault," the other "heel to the curb." Any man who disobeys orders or becomes other than a "silent demonstrator" will be taken in hand by one of the ex-service men, there being an ex-service man to every 20 men. Those of the jobless who have hats will remove them in front of the vestrymen's offices. "Mr. Zero" said that he would WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—Power phases of Swing-Johnson bill for the harnessing of the Colorado river for flood control and reclamation work were minutely detailed today by experts favoring the measure before the senate irrigation and reclamation committee. Led by Prof. Wm. F. Duraind of Stanford University, noted electrical engineer, the forces back on the measure painted a graphic picture of the development of So.Cal and southwestern states, that it was declared, would immediately contract with the government for all of the power available as soon as the dam was completed. Assuming the dam were started in 1926," said Prof. Duraind of by 1829 or 1830, when the first electrical power would be available, these growing areas would require all of the electricity they could get to keep pace with their development. "Power companies are planning on consumption of 500,000 horsepower of electricity in So.Cal alone in 1925, and it estimates that the demand will increase at the rate of 110,000 horsepower per year." Senator Johnson, Rep. of Calif., co-author with Rep. Swig, of the bill, then declared that the growth of the Los Angeles district was so unprecedented that since the 1926 census, when its population was placed at approximately 1,000,000 people, more than 640,000 new residents had moved into the territory. "My figures are based on the number of registered voters," said Johnson. Duraind showed how power demands of a community increase in population." I am presenting these figures," he said." To show how all of the 1,000,000 maximum horsepower power which is estimated Boulder er dam will generate, will immediately have a profitable market and will not, as some say, be on the government's hands without a purchaser." Senator Ashurst, Dem. of Ariz., pointed out that these figures did not include the power demands of Arizona, New Mexico and Nevada which at present lack enough for their requirements. T. H. Panter, electrical engineer of Los Angeles, explained how the drought of last summer had so depleted California's water supply that companies were forced to generate electricity by burning oil," very wasteful process," he said. The dynamiting of the Los Angeles conduit, bringing water from Owens Valley, was dramatically DRY AGENTS KILL ONE, WOUND TWO LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Dec. 23.—One man was dead today and two others lay wounded as the result of a search for distilleries by four prohibition agents.

Panter, electrical engineer of Los Angeles, explained how the drought of last summer had depleted California's water supply that companies were forced to generate electricity by burning oil, "very wasteful process," he said. The dynamiting of the Los Angeles conduit, bringing water from Owens Valley, was dramatically injected into the hearings today when Ralph L. Criwell, member of the city council, declared that one of the main reasons why his territory wanted a dam at Boulder canyon was to irrigate more than 150,000 acres of land returned to aridity when the Owens river project was completed. Criswell told the senate irrigations and reclamation committee of the dynaming and subsequent releasing of flood gates of the conduit by disgruntled residents of the valley, who saw their once fertile fields blacken as their water was cut off. While Los Angeles paid for all of the land it secured for water rights, many people in the valley are dissatisfied and we have been having a great deal of trouble with them, which is not yet settled. Should we get water from the Colorado river, we will be able to allot sufficient water to that district to irrigate more than 150,000 acres which once were fertile," Criswell said. Anaconda Dividend NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—Directors of the Anaconda Copper Co. today declared a dividend of 75 cents a share on the common stock, payable Feb. 16 to stock of record Jan. 17.

N.S. by prominent business leaders of the country.) By W. A. DAY (President of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of New York.) NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—I shall leave it to others to speak of business in general and shall confine myself to my impressions regarding the influence of life insurance on the situation. As the company with which I am connected has transacted a larger business this year than ever before, it is reasonable to expect distinct progress in 1925 and what is true of one company, is doubtless true of other companies. And if the business of life insurance shows improvement that will have a favorable influence on business in general, the fact is now generally recognized that the safest and best promoters of thrift are the life insurance companies and the savings banks, and as we learn to save, we shall cease to be regarded as the most wasteful of peoples. At the present time economy appears to be the watchword of our national government, and if a good example is set there, it is reasonable to hope that the state governments will endeavor to be less extravagant than in the past. As a large proportion of the assets of our insurance companies and of our banking institutions are invested in railway securities. It is encouraging that the railroads are to be helped rather than hindered hereafter in their effort to obtain working capital on the one hand, and on the other hand, to increase their transportation facilities for the benefit of the farmer and shipper of merchandise. The insurance companies recognize the importance of prosperity among our farmers, and are rendering a valuable contribution to eruption that it was unintended for eruptions to be witnessed at this distance unless in progress for some time.

Barr Local officers have cut off a large part of the holiday supply of liquor, according to Bert Barr, special officer in charge of local dry law enforcement. Barr said today that a certain bootlegger has 139 quarts cached—but the officers are so hot on his trail that he doesn't dare to dig them up, and that another one has in hiding 12 gallons which he doesn't dare to move. Both these men, Barr said, want to bring that liquor in so badly that they can taste it, but are afraid to undertake it. One of them is walking the streets, he's so badly worried. Officers don't know the exact spot of the cache, but know within a few blocks of it. Barr said. Special officers are watching the places day and night, he said. PASTOR SPEAKS TO ANAHEIM CLUB "The spirit of Christmas is exemplified in righteousness; I do not believe in a Christmas truce," Rev. O. G. Schmidt of the Salem Evangelical church told the Anaheim City club at noon today. The minister referred to the famous Christmas message of General Booth to Salvation Army posts all over the world. That message, sent by cable and wire to all corners of the earth was one word: "Others." The club luncheon carried out the Christmas idea generally. Small Christmas trees decorated each table and each member and guest received a "suitable" present. Mrs. O. Lee Shoemaker, well-known vocalist, accompanied by Mrs. Margaret Buttree, sang "For You Alone," "Christmas Hymn and "A Gypsy Maiden." Mr. Fred Buttree of San Francisco played ever oldtime favorites on the mandolin, accompanied by his brother, W. G. Buttree of Anaheim.

The insurance companies recognize the importance of prosperity among our farmers, and are rendering a valuable service in investing in carefully selected farm mortgages. Improvement in financial conditions abroad will be helpful to us because prosperity there will benefit us; where as disaster there would react upon us sooner or later in many injurious ways. The outlook is certainly hopeful and in my judgment the spread of life insurance will be one of the many influences that will add to the general prosperity which apparently we are destined to enjoy in 1925.

BROKER GUILTY MONDAY One Clerk Sells 14,000 Stamps; Force Works Until 2 a.m. Today Yesterday was the biggest day in the history of the Anaheim postoffice, both in volume of outgoing mail and receipts. One clerk alone sold 14,000 two-cent stamps, and 135 sacks of mail went out. If business continues like this, the office will eclipse all previous records for the holiday season. The force was busy until 2:00 a.m. today with yesterday's mail. People still are making mistakes about postage, etc. Any letter that contains written as against printed matter, and all sealed letters require two cents. Because a letter is destined for an Anaheim address doesn't change these rules. Mail also should be addressed legibly and tied strongly. In the midst of a rush, and with a lot of mail hanging over after 6:00 o'clock at night the clerks, already tired cut, can't stop and tie up parcels properly or re-write addresses. On parcels post packages both the sender and receiver's address should be given. Out of the thousands of cares new being mailed many have no stamps. Unless the return address is on the card lack of postage means that the address, or person to whom sent, has to pay it—not a very pleasant Christmas impression to create, Postmaster Whitaker intimated. If the return address is included—the exception on cards—the card is delayed until the full postage has been paid. The public again is reminded about addressing and tying up packages properly.
