Liquor Prices Up
Usvjer New Penalty,
fL Y. Paper Clairm
NEW YORK. March 12.—f/P)—1The
New York Herald Tribune says to
C:.y that the Jones act, increasing
pena /ies for prohibition violations,
has caused the price of liquor to
soar, putting many of the smaller
speakeasies out of business.
Tbe wholesale price of whiskey,
says the newspaper, has advanced as
much as $40 a case and grain al
cohol has doubled to around $14 a
gallon.
Efcdiveries to speakeasies have
been curtailed to such an extent
that only about one half the liquor
ordered is being delivered.
Maurice Campbell, federal prohi
bition administrator, also declared i
tine Jones act was putting many
speakeasies out of business.
“The bootleggers do not like the
idea of going to jail for five years
£nd paying a 810,000 fine. Fear of
a long term has stirred the men in
charge of the rings. They find it
difficult to hire men who will take
the blame for them. We are con
centrating entirely on the source of
supply. The Jones act strikes at the
leaders.”

HIGHWAY 80 I
IS DEFEATED;
House 3 Votes Short on 2nid
Count; Considering Pen
Legislation Today
AUSTIN, Tex., March 12.—T>P)—
Penitentiary legislation held a pre
ferred place before the house today
after another defeat for proponents
of a state highway bond issue.
A vote last night on the proposal
to submit a constitutional amend>
ment to th people authorizing is
suance of highway bonds was 97 to
28, three short of th- 100 needed af
firmative votes, against the 98-9f7
count of last Friday.
Representatives A. P. C. Petsdh
of Fredericksburg, and R. M. Hub
bard of New Boston, sponsor of thse
amendment in the house, indicat
ed they might bring the resolution
to a third vote before the session,
ends Thursday.
Tense feeling prevailed as pro
ponents of the issue howled down
Representative Leonard Tillotson of
Sealy, an opponent, who had raised
points of order agairst reconsidera
tion of the matter.
Representatives Bowen Pope of
Hamlin and Grady Woodruff of
Decatur, speaking to personal pri
vilege, charged that members of tie
house were being coerced in voting
for the resolution against their own
convictions. I
Woodruff charged that Governor
Moody had publicly said when far
mer Senator Joe Burkett, then a
member of the highway commission,
was advocating a $150,000,000 state
wide bond issue, that the policy was
unsound rnd should not be tolerat
ed.
“I am glad to see that the gover
nor has just come into the bar of
the house,” Woodruff shouted as he
started to address the members.
Governor Moody had taken a seat
in the rear of the hall, where lie
remained urti lafter the vote was
taken.
A wild scene ensued when, after
the vote had been recorded on the
electric board, Speaker Pro Tm Fned
Minor hesitated for several minutes
before announcing the result.
‘Has every one voted?” he kept
shouting with his head bowed arid
his eyes on the vote indicator on
top of his desk.
Opponents of the bond issue rush
ed forward indignantly demanding
that he announce the vote witljnut
further delay. He did this ixlter
some delay.

SIDELIGHTS
RIYOLI, SAN BENITO
How does it feel to be murdered?
Margaret Livingston ought to
know. For in “The Bellamy Trial,”
the thrilling murder-mystery, which
is now at the Rivoli theater, .San
Benito as a Metro-Goldwyn-Mh yer
feature, she is the woman wh ose
slaying provides motivation for the
amazing plot.
When the scenes were taken '.un
der Monta Bell’s direction, bliss
Livingston had to go through the
death portrayal six different tfcnes.
“Oh, death, where is thy stfc; g?”
she wailed as she rubbed linirr.ent
upon hpr bruised shins.
The film was adapted by DJ-ec
tor Bell from the pooular nvEga
r.ine serial by Frances Noyes ETart.
A great number of the scenes take
place in the courtroom where the

AT DITTMANN
Both Jack Holt and Betty Pomp
son are experienced horsebaejk rid
ers and able to perform unusual
feats in the saddle, but in rj* taking
scenes for Columbia’s special pro
duction. “Court-Martial,” which is
now at tb« Dittmann Theaten, they
participated in thrills which, were
new and startling to them.
Holt lives in the saddle. He is
one of the few actors who hag/e not
succumbed to the lure of the auto
mobile. Whenever lolt goes t/c work
or out shopping he leaps to the
back of Hornet, his favorite horse,
and rides a way. Whenever a per
plexing problem troubles the actor,
or when he is out of so:r*s he
mounts the horse and rides out in
the open to think it over. It is
not an uncommon sight to sre Holt
in make-up, leaving a set Ijetween
scenes to go galloping off on. Hor
net.
During the making of “Court
Martial” the actor lived in the
saddle. All the players, tine tech
nical staff and director were
mounted. Much of the action
takes place in the open country
and horseback riding was tb\e only
manner in which the Columbia
company, under the super pillion of
George B. Seitz, could enser the
ground. f

HOOVER PLANS
FARM RELIEF
President Prepar i n g For
Special Session; Co
operatives Seen
WASHINGTON, March 12.—(IF)—
With the special session still a
month away, President Hcover is
turning his thoughts toward the
development of plans for farm re
lief ir. his message to congress.
Already the president has given
much thought to the problem and
his views largely are being followed
by the committees of the senate and
the house in planning hearings to
work out the legislation. These will
be opened several weeks before the
special session starts.
Although Mr. Hoover is reserving
the public revelation of his plans
for his message to congress, it is
known that the committees are
preparing to approach the task
largely from the cooperative mar
keting scale.
In several of his speeches last
summer in which he dealt with
farm relief, Mr. Hoover stressed the
part that he feels cooperative mar
keting must play in assuring the
farmer a proper price for his prod
uct. Along with cooperative mar
keting. he placed tariff revision and
the development or cheaper trans
portatoin to markets.
