FRIEND, FOE BLAST FORT’S BEER BOOST Wets Against Suggestion to Make Liquor Legal in Homes. WATCH DRY SITUATION President Hoover Cleared of Any Hookup With Moderation Move. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Pres* Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. I.—A cold reaction to the Fort suggestion for legalization of home brewing came today from both wets and drys intent upon fighting out the prohibition question in congress. The wets asked if Representat* e Franklin Fort 'Rep., N. J.), close friend of President Hoover, wants to make a brewery of every home. The drys pledged themselves to making the Volstead act stronger instead of weakening it, as they see it, with the Fort moderationist proposal. Wets claimed to see in it, mainly, vindication of the proposal for legalization of 2.75 per cent beer, but did not consider it a practical solution. Nothing Expected Nothing is expected to come of it, as nothing came from a suggestion for manufacture of light beer under government control made in 1926 by Brigadier-General Lincoln C. Andrews, former prohibition enforcement chieftain, in appearing before the Reed special senate committee. While and old boyhood chum of Fort, Representative Lehlbach, wet, (Rep., N. J.), prepared to give an official answer to Fort's speech of Friday, the wets and drys had their eyes fixed on the following developments in the ever-growing prohibition controversy here: First there is the inauguration of the plan of dry senators to put every candidate for enforcement positions on record as to his personal views before letting him be confirmed in the senate. Next is Borah’s fight against retention in the prohibition enforcement service of John Herbert, administrator of the Idaho-Montana dist rict. Charges Unverified The charges against Herbert, whispered around Washington for the last few days, have not been verified in any way so far as is known, although they are of a sensational character. Third, is the move in the house expenditures committee to return to Secretary of Treasury Mellon some of the power he lost in the bill to transfer enforcement to the justice department. The bill is expected to be amended back into its original form, giving Mellon and Mitchell the Joint power to control industrial alcohol withdrawal permits when it is reconsidered by the committee today. It is to be taken up on the floor of the house early next week. The Fort speech was robbed of any idea that it stated Mr. Hoover’s personal views when both the President and Fort issued statements giving Fort the sole credit for it.

Hu Times Special Hammond, ind.. Feb. 1. _ Sigurd Andresen, lover of raccoons, quit his job as a bus driver and confided to a friend that he had inherited $500,000 and would return to his native Norway. But news of Andresen’s supposed good fortune aroused derision of his landlord. Charles Raksanyi, who says the former bus driver is two months behind with his rent, a total of SSO, and that the house he occupied has suffered damage as a result of having raccoons as .residents. Informed about the inheritance, Baksanyi remarked: "Half million? If that guy inherited a half million I am the king of Siam."

Stark is in charge of the jury probe, with Manifold assisting, the installation of anew door lock and alteration of the jury's safe combination, at request of the jurors, is interpreted as a renewal of Collins’ attempt to have Manifold removed. Meanwhile the record probe has been suspended until Monday when the testimony of other county judges will be heard. Judges charge the record has disappeared from the files of County Audiwr Harry Dunn. The draft, the judges say, was signed by county commissioners in Jan., 1929, approving a S6OO pay boost for the reporters. Dunn produced a county council ordinance Friday bearing signatures of commissioners approving appropriation requests for the reporters' raise. Dunn contends it was this paper which judges saw, although the judges declared the order to be a different draft. Further development took place today when the supreme court, acting in a writ of prohibition granted recently to County Attorney Clinton H. Givan in behalf of Dunn and commissioners, issued an order temporarily restraining Superior Judge William S. McMasters from mandating Dunn to pay the increased wage. Similar orders have been issued by the supreme court against Collins. Judges Linn D. Hay, James M. Leathers and Harry O. Chamberlin.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson McKinnon) NEW YORK, Feb. I.—Both trade and financial news still is on the side of slow but steady improvement. Trade reviews s.-und a more encouraging note this morning and from the financial side of the picture the movement of gold in our favor is important in that, it is increasing our credit ease and creating easier money conditions. This in turn already has brought about an improvement in the construction industry and is responsible for much of the betterment shown in other directions. With very few exceptions the annual reports of practically ail of our important corporations make pleasing reading. Within the market we believe stocks have been passing into strong hands, and that such distress selling as recently overhung the market has been cleared away. We can not bring ourselves to modify in the least, our bullish views on the better class of securities.

GUN WRESTED FROM BANDIT BY CONDUCTOR Pair Fall From Street Car in Struggle: Pistol Fails to Fire. POLICE SHIFT ORDERED Chief Kinney Makes Change in Effort to Break Crime Wave.

Grappling with a bandit who threatened him with a revolver, Hershell Lewsader, 1114 North Arsenal avenue, conductor on a Brookside car, wrested the gun from the robber today. The two fought and fell from the door of the street car at the end of the line. In the fall the bandit lost his grip on the gun and on the money changer, which he had grabbed. As the robber turned to flee, Lewsader snapped the gun twice in an attempt to shoot at him. The gun failed to fire. The bandit, about 20, boarded the car at Houston street and Brookside avenue, and rode to the end of the line. There he drew a cheap revolver and seizing the money changer from Lewsader, demanded the remainder of his money. Lewsader grabbed the revolver as the youth pressed it against his stomach. Averts Holdup Police found two cartridges in the gun bearing imprints of the firing pin, but undischarged. A. Bluestein, of 5741 Julian avenue, threw two men off the running board of his car at New York and East streets at midnight Friday, whom he believes intended to hold him up. When he stopped for a traffic light the two stepped onto the running board. Bluestein stepped on the accelerator.

He declared rumors in circulation now as to pensioning of twenty policemen, wholesale shifts of detectives, and as to his own regulation, without basis. The “Banana Kid” resumed operations Friday night, holding up Benjamin Pfaff, 241 West New York street, Checker Cab driver, taking $6 and his cab.

WORK LIKELY TO END RIOTS, IN CALIFORNIA Filipinos Concentrating, but in Preparation for Spring Crops. AUTHORITIES WATCHFUL Troops Reported Ordered in Readiness to Stop Further Fighting. BT GEORGE D. CRISSEY United Press Staff Correspondent SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. I.—Assuming that plenty of work means few riots, authorities today looked toward the fertile fields of the San Joaquin valley as a factor which will stop fighting between Filipino and white laborers. The Filipinos are concentrating in the rich districts of interior California, but this fact brings sighs of relief because it is work that is drawing the islanders together. For a time, it was feared the Filipinos would collect in groups and hold a California phase of the “National Humiliation day” observance, which will be staged in Manila Sunday in mouring the death of a young Filipino, killed in a riot near Watsonville. But the soil of the California valleys eased that fear. The spring crops will mean more jobs for every one, and, as a result, the competition for work between the two races will end. Authorities are apprehensive, however, and are guarding against the possibility of a renewal of the riots which caused one death at Watsonville and resulted in hundreds of injuries in the Pajaro valley and San Jose. It was reported that members of the One hundred forty-third field artillery of the California national guard had been ordered to stand by. Officers of the regiment, however, denied the report, although enlisted men maintained that they have instructions to remain in contact with headquarters of their batteries. Meantime, with the situation in California well in hand, Filipinos in Manila completed plans for a great mourning as a tribute to the islander killed in California. Agitation for complete independence will feature the gathering which, according to advance indications, will be an orderly one.
