Couzens, Rep. of Ish., chairman, following a secret mission attended by government officials.

If all dry voters go to the polls Feb. 3, the four dry councilmen, Metcalf, Knipe, Hasson and Stapark, and Harry Turton, candidate against G. A. Stock, last of the old wet political machine, will be given a much greater vote of confidence than at last spring's election. That voters are rallying to the law enforcement program of council, is evidenced by the large registration. One registration deputy at city council campaign headquarters has registered more than 50 since petition of dry forces to recall Stock was filed. One entire church, which has always ioresworn politics, is now registered to the last member of the congregation. It being declared the present issue is one of right or wrong. It was first made a matter of fervent prayer. Righteous indignation at the efforts of the former wet political machine to regain control of the city government by injecting all the discord of a recall election into the community prevailed over the denomination's usual scruples against going to the ballot box. Mrs. Rebecca Gilliland, 87, of 417 E. Adela-st., has registered and will cast her first vote for the INQUEST ON VICTIM OF UPSET An inquest will be held at 3:30 this afternoon in the death of C. W.

There were 14 police on duty New Year's Eve and last night. No one was seen in an intoxicated state or looking as they even desired to be on New Year's Eve night, it is said. Two "drunks" were picked up yesterday, but both were from Los Angeles. They were George W. Huskins charged with possession of liquor, and Tom Choat, charged wherever in violations appear to involve irregularities on the part of government agents.

Adele-st., has registered and will cast her first vote for the present dry councilmen and Turton. She has always let her husband, Hugh R. Gilliland, children and grandchildren do the voting for her family. But not so this time. "This is a matter of right or wrong. I don't know of a better issue on which to cast my first vote," said Mrs. Gilliland. Many instances of citizens who have lived here from four to eight years registering for the first time have come to the notice of the registrar. A widow who had always left voting to her husband and who had not registered altho she has been alone for several years sought out a registrar the other day. "It would be a shame if our dry councilmen were kicked out now after making such a wonderful record and doing so much to protect our boys and girls," she declared. "They try to make out business is rotten. I acquired a little shop last May; went into debt $800. I have been meeting payments of $50 per month on a home and have cut my indebtedness to $100. I guess business isn't so bad if you attend it, instead of playing politics. One woman and daughter, after registering the other day, were asked if the husabnd and father were registered. The wife said: "We are not urging him to register because he is a 'wet.' I am sorry to say. He is much better off in more ways than one, we all are; since the present council made it almost impossible for him to get any liquor. It has made a wonderful difference in our home since something was done to eliminate the booflegger." Similar pathetic instances by the score have come to the attention of the dry forces. That Anaheim is pretty well cleaned up of the liquor traffic, was indicated by the few New Year drunks, according to local officers. There were 14 police on duty New Year's Eve and last night.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC CRIMES SERIOUS MANILA, Jan. 2.—The question of whether the Philippines have a prohibition law or not is again disturbing the public mind here today. Yesterday the ship Advistus, carrying 4000 cases of assorted liquors, arrived in Manila from Hong Kong without a bill of health from the American consul at Hong Kong because of the so-called Philippine department of state anti-liquor law. After some delay the liquor was finally allowed entry when the ship's master paid a nominal fine for having arrived without all necessary ship's papers. It is reported here that the Island department of state will soon retire the anti-liquor importation law, or at the most let it stand and consider it merely as a dead letter, awing to the er reluctance of Philippine officials to co-operate in its enforcement. Crimes due to the liquor trafice in the Philippines are worse than the excesses committed during the Russian revolution," averred Judge De Joya today, before the annual convention of the island W. C.
