POLIGE PROBE. POISON DEATH Former British Army Officer | Dead After Taking Powder, Wife Says — | Los Angeles, Nov. -(AP)—} ‘The mysterious death here of| Thomas Walker, formerly a Briti army officer and reputedly wealthy, } was being investigated today by the Hollywood police. i Mrs. Walker, the only witness to) the death, told the police her hus- band fell unconscious after taking a drink of whiskey in which he ap- parently had poured a, powder de- signed to rid him of a cold. He di shortly afterward. She declared Walker had been in good spirits and had no reason for taking his own je. When Walker was taken to a re- ceiving hospital attendants found six photographs of a young woman and a jade bracelet tucked inside his vest. Detectives admitted that they were seeking to learn the identity of a “mystery girl,” and were working on the theory that some one had sub- stituted poison for the harmless powders. Police chemists, reported that the “powder” was a deadly poison. LEVEES GROW FAST, STRONG Mississippi Flood Control Measure Money Expended in Huge Works Washington, Nov. — (#) — The ‘work chant of the e laborer on “Old Man River” now is a constant chorus. Higher rise the levees on the Mississippi river and stronger grow the banks as the government program to keep the sluggish strength of the giant within bounds gathers momentum. Millions of dollars have been poured into protective easures since the last great flood, and army eingineers, taking stock of progress made in the last year, report that probably all of-the 100,000 made available by congressional appro- pristion for the new program prob- ably will have been spent or obli- gated by next June. he engineers’ battle with the great river is a fight as carefully charted as any armed conflict. For 30 years it has been carried on, but in the last year operations were on @ seale two and a half times as great in any previous year. The work being done at New Ma- drid, Mo., is typical of that all along the stream. The new levee there will rise five feet higher, and up above the town the channel of the river will be widened until it will be almost twice the width it was five years ago. Gangs of laborers may be seen weaving what appears to be a mat- tress for the couch of a giant. Huge mats of willow are used in revetment work, and $12,000,000 will go into that phase of the work thi The mats are loaded wi snd sunk along the sides and the here the water has begun to eat away the Erosion thus is stopped. shed together are used in the same manner.

Behind Sister Wilhoite’s quiet manner, though, you get an idea of the terrific forcetulness with which/| she and Carrie Nation assaulted the ramparts of the rum business in Wichita, back in 1901, when she says “If I were prohibition dircctor, 1| 1} | would be like Deborah oi old, would use my hatchet on the who is defying and making a m ery of the nation’s prohibition laws. He is the man who frequents the country club and night club. He} carries his saloon on the hip. He, is the viper to crush now, instead of the old saloon.” Led Old-Time Crusades “Sister Wilhoite” was the moving spirit in the three-year war against the saloons of Wichita. She and, three other women started the cru- sade; others joined them in their effort to make the dry constitution of Kansas effective. | Their weapons were hatchets, | monkey wrenches, stove pokers and baseball bats. \ Mrs. Wilhoite had been a slums | worker in Wichita for ten yea: She knew “what dives to smash, as she expressed it, through her work as state prison director for the W. C. T. U. i Carrie Nation’s entrance to| Wiehita was dramatic. Without warning she walked into the Carey an glass decanters and “Cleopatra in’ the Bath” fixtu-es. She was ar-! rested, but the supreme court of Kansas freed her, after which she} met Sister Wilhoite. On the day of “the big raids” in Wichita, Sister Wilhoite had done her family) and was ready to go crusading by 2 o'clock. Find Crusade Weapons With Carrie Nation she went to a meeting of the W. C. T. U. where a force of volunteers was enlisted. In the apartment of Dr. Julia Evans, the weapons of the crusade were found—a wrench, a hatchet, a poker, and a ball bat. “The first place we visited was Jim Burns’ saloon,” Sister Wil- hoite relates. Carrie Nation's hatchet splintered the plate glass window. Entering. the crusaders swung hatchet and monkey wrench into a showcase of Gordon jin, Haig and Haig and De- War Scotch. The poker wrecked a slot machine. The plate glass mir- ror along the backbar next was shattered by Carrie Nation's hatchet. A bartender protested. “I am not responsible for what this hatchet does; go to the Lord about it,” was the reply of Mrs. Nation.

One of the police- men was injured, and newspaper notices next day offered $50 reward for the name of the woman who struck the officer. Claimed Reward Herself At a meeting, some time later, Sister Wilhoite said she was will- ing to claim the reward—she had struck the policeman herself. But the reward remains unpaid. Not only saloons were the object of the crusaders’ attacks, but gam- bling houses and the red light dis- trict were included. Sister Wilhoite believes the hatchet would still be an effective adjunct in combating rum. “{ mean for these night clubs and | cocktail parties,” .explains Sister | Wilhoite.

Five insurance companies who guaranteed the safety ot the armor- ed car on its trip to South St. Paul are reported to have cither received a 60 per cent “split” of their losses or to be negotiating with the St. ‘go-between” in returning the loot.

RAIL MEN BACK PLANNED RATES Withdrawal of Objection to| Combined Water and Rail Rates Announced St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 28.—(#)— Leaders among the 1,200 delegates to the tenth annual Mississippi Val- ley association convention, which closed here yesterday, agreed today that an outstanding development was the announcement by Major General T. Q. Ashburn, chairman of the In- land Waterways corporation, that railroads have agreed to withdraw their objections to combined rail and water rates. * The association elected William R. Dawes, Chicago financier, as presi- dent, and reelected Thomas F. Cun- ningham, New Orleans, as vice president. The convention went on record as in favor of increased ap- propriations from congress for com- pletion of the Mississippi river waterway system, appropriation of the authorized $10,000,000 for new barges and equipment for the Inland Waterways corporation, and a nine- foot channel in the main streams of the Mississippi system. The work of James E. Smith, St. Louis, retiring president, was praised in a resolution. Miastol RLC.USPAT.OFF. latest scientific discovery stops cold quick Do this atthefirst sign of a cold.
