they appropriated to their own use.
The Misses Lawrence will be sem

Brother" Lawrence was given lee
ture by the chief and told to leave the
city within twenty-four hours on pain

The Lawrences claimed they We're the
victims of police persecution but the Of
flcers of the Associated Charities said
the women were impostors and danger
Gus vagrants.
Letters were found in the possession

showed they belonged to an organized
band of beggars who have been operat-
ing In all the cities on the coast.

FARMER SUCCEEDS GOODWIN
Lelande's Aid Is Emergency App
pointee for Position of Conn
mittee Clerk

Bert Farmer, license collector in the
office of City Clerk Lelande, is to be
the emergency appointee for the po-
sition of committee clerk, left vacant
by the resignation of Willard L. Good
win.
The council would have appointed
Mr.. Farmer to the position yesterday,
but on account of lack of quorum at
the special meeting this could not be
done. If quorum Is present at to-
days meeting Mr.. Farmer will receive
the position
The selection of the license clerk as
committee clerk is highly satisfactory
to all city officials and employees. Mr..
Farmer is one of the most popular em-
ployes i'm the city hall and the increase
in salary, from $115 to $3.50 a month,
comes largely as a reward of merit
Who will succeed Mr.. Farmer as IL
cense clerk Is not definitely known, but
II is understood a man for the place
has already been nominated.

JUDGE RESERVES OPINION
Arguments Concluded in the Smith
Clover Contempt of Court
Gaea

Following q day of argument before
Judge Ben Bledsoe in department one
of the superior court, the demurrer to
a citation for contempt filed by Judge
B. N. Smith against Sam T. Glover, ed
itor of the News, was taken under ad-
visement, and it is not thought that a
verdict. will be reached before Septem-
ber 15.
The freedom of speech and of the
press, a constitutional right, was the
chief argument of the day, and District
Attorney Fredericks, through Deputy
McComas, did not take exception to
any claims advanced as to the liberty
of the press.
1t was granted that the press was
free to say anything it pleased, but
that 1t must be held responsible when
1t overstepped the limit of it's liberty.
"This~case affects not only the dig
nifty of the bench, but also the consti-
tutional right of freedom of speech
and of the press" said Judge Bledsoe
at the close of the session yesterday.
ut is in the nature of a summary
proceeding, and if the dem lrrer to the
citation and affidavit is sustained then
of course, Attorney Fredericks may
have time to amend or file new COM
plaint, as he may desire.
TT will require some time, however,
for me to make UP my mind in this
case, and I will probably reserve my
decision for two weeks or more"

of His Office

who have been robbing downtown Of

According to reports received with
in the past few days, number of Of

Detective Grant Roberds, detailed
on the case learned yesterday that

of e. Il. Selph and Frank Blair in the
Citizens National bank building and
secured the purse belonging to the
stenographer, Miss Loretta Bathrick
Miss Bathrick was taking dictation
from one of her employers when the
regular collector for a gas company
entered and left the monthly bill
Shortly after, the young woman said
another man came in who also repre-
scented himself to be collector. On
learning the bill had already been pre-
scented he left the office.
Some time later Miss Bathrick was
called up by telephone by tenant In
the Trust building who said he had just
lsicked a bogus collector from his Of
Nee who left a purse in his flight which
contained cards bearing her name. She
looked for her purse and found II miss
ing and at once came to the conclusion
that the second man who had entered
the office while she was taking dicta-
tion was the one who stole her purse.
So far no further elews have beer
obtained by the police but the detect
ives hope to find the bogus collectors
shortly
