dence, each making three base hits,
one brother for the Giants and the
other for the Yankees. Dugan for
the Yankees made the only home run,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—The na
tion looks to President Coolidge to as
sert and maintain the majesty of the
law, the Citizenship Conference de
clared today in a message to the
American people. The convention ap
proved of ways and means for the en
forcement of the eighteenth amend
ment and prohibition act.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—Wealthy
Americans who violate the eighteenth
amendment and those constitutional
provisions designed to protect our
,pproperty,” declared Borah this after
noon, “are both traveling the road
of lawlessness and sowing the seeds
of destruction and undermining the
whole fabric of law and order.”
The Senator spoke before the Citi
zenship conference, on “Shall the Con
stitution of the United States Be Nul
lified.”
TRIO ARRESTED ON ALAMEDA;
LAWYERS GET THE MONEY
C. E. Moore, G. Hill and Anton
Kvas were taken off the Alameda on
the last trip for gambling and viola
tion of the Volstead Act, it being al
leged that the two former had enticed
Kvas into a card game and relieved
him of $600, while on the way to Se
attle. Kvas squealed and U. S. Mar
shal Beaumont, U. S. Attorney Shoup
and Prohibition Officer Harding who
were on the boat, took the men in
custody, and they were fined $500
each and the fine suspended if they
got out of the territory. Kvas then
claimed the $600, but the attorneys
for Moore and Hill claimed it as a
fee for their services. Judge Wick
ersham made a demgmd of Marshal
Beaumont for the money and he re
fused to give it up. Judge Reed tiien
took a hand and ordered the money
turned over to Clerk of Court John H.
Dunne until litigation was settled.
As matters now stand Kvas is out
his money, and if he gets any of it,
it will be because the Federal officials
of the First division forget them
selves.

SAN FRRANCISCO, Oct. IS.—De
i velopments arising in the convention
! of the American Legion reveal that
many delegates to the American Le

ganization are introduced on the floor
of the convention.
A purely American immigration bill
administered solely by Americans, is
needed in the United States, Secre

in a speech today, adding that Amer
ica must be for America against the
world.
The committee on resolutions and
American Legion policy are confront

place the Legion on record as con
demning the Ku Klux Klan and oppo

agreement in committee on resolu

soil in order that American veterans
might fraternize with the old Cana
dian comrades in arms.

jam that powerful action. Built
for .22 hi-power; .250-3000; .SO
SO; .300; .303.
♦.. handles fast, holds steady
as a rock
You can depend on the smooth, sure
action of a Savage. It functions right.
And accuracy—the most important
thing in any rifle. You can’t beat a
Savage for deadly, lasting accuracy.
And it’s light—a Savage high-power
doesn’t carry an extra ounce—but
it’s proportioned and hung to hold as
steady as a rock.
This perfect balance is always the
same. For the Savage magazine is of
the box type—full or empty—its bal
ance is unchanged.
A Savage for every kind of
American game
.22 hi-power. The amazing Imp—
ideal for woodchuck, fox and wolf.
Accurate at long and unknown ranges.
.30-30. The choice of many sea
soned hunters for deer and medium
size game at moderate ranges.
.303. A hard, knockdown hitter
—has dropped deer, bear and caribou
for 20 years.
.250-3000. An all-around rifle.
Terrific speed and accuracy make it
the gun for mountain sheep, goats,
and deer at extreme ranges.
.300. Delivers a crashing blow
that will drop the great Alaskan
brown bear in his tracks. Powerful
enough for any American game.
And the Savage .22s—the Sporter
—the new bolt-action repeating .22
—the gilt-edge accuracy of the finest
target rifle built into a sporting model.
Or the slide-action, Model ’14—every
feature originally and distinctively
Savage—sturdy and accurate.

Roadmaster George Colwell and C.
S. Howard, timekeep for this divi
sion, arrived over the government rail
road yesterday. Mr. Colwell states
that he left 52 and came to Mile 40
on a gascar, and from Mile 40 they
took a volocipede and walked the re
mainder of the distance. In speaking
of the damages caused by the recent
storm, Mr. Colwell declared that the
track was in bad shape. At Mile 3%
the bridge is washed out, and the
bulkheads washed out for a distance
of over 50 feet. At Miles 4 and 5,
stretch of 50 and 60 feet of grade are
washed out. There is a rock slide at
Mile 9% and the grade is washed out
at Mile 17. A big slide has come down
at Mile 18. There is a large land
slide at Mile 20%; the bridge at Mile
21 has five feet of gravel over it, and
the bulkheads are washed out. At
Falls Creek, Mile 25, the creek went
out of its channel and took the track
out for a ditsanee of 400 feet. The
cabin oi Jim Kalles, at Mile 26. had
three feet of water in it Sunday, when
Mr. Colwell came by. There was
three feet of water over the track at
Moose Pass. The section house and
road house at Moose Pass is flooded,
and the grade in stretches of 200 to
400 feet was .vashed out between
Miles 36 and 40. The cor.eret pedes
tals were washed from under the
bridge at Bartlett glacier. One hun
dred feet of track is washed out at
Mile 53%. Eighty feet of snowslied
broke down in this vicinity from the
debris carried over it by the wash
from the mountain. The 121 foot span
at Mile 54 was carried down 300 feet
down the stream and broken to frag
ments. There are num uo-s slides
from Mile ii to Mile 7*1 and the
foundation of tre sn » vsht-d at Mile
7o% is badly was.hr 1
buietcnes oi ‘ra.< of from 4,00 to
3000 feet were taken out by the high
tides and storm between Miles S4
and 91, Turnagain Arm.
The tides along the a.m were the
highest ever known. The water was
a loot c er the sidewalk at Anchor
age bo'w»*-n the town ; t... the iail
road shore.
Numerous slides occurred along the
railway. Right across from Roosevelt
on the shores of Kenai lake a slide
200 feet wide and extending from the
top of the mountain, shot a mass of
trees and dirt into the lake. A slide
at 20% took out the roadbed, tele
phone lines and track for a distance of
260 feet and placed it all out in Kenai
lake.
The damage to the railroad is much
greater than at first supposed and the
officials are hampered by a lack of
men. While there are many men idle
in this vicinity it is nearly impossible
to get them to work. Twenty-five are
coming from Anchorage on the North
western and others may be imported
from the states.
