plains to Police, but Gets
Small Aid

she was spanked and strapped by
Joseph Koenig. Miss Ethel Cowls, Js
years of age, has complained TO the
police and declares that she will make
matters interesting for the man who
she claims hurt her pride and also her
anatomy. Koenig says that he spanked
and strapped the young woman because
he believed the treatment would be
beneficial to Miss Cowls. He asserts
thaf she annoyed and provoked him
by standing in front of his dyeing
and cleaning place in Alameda avenue
near Park street and acted as lookout
for gang of boys who are given to
the practice of amusing themselves by
ringing doorbells and then running
away.
Miss Cowls lives with her parents at
23lf Alameda avenue, close to Koenig's
place of business. She says that the
spanking and strapping that she was
subjected to by Koenig were uncailed
for and that she feels keenly the hu-
initiation Of being so treated by a
person who is in no way related to
her Said Miss cowls:
Il was standing in front of Koenig's
place and was doing nothing that he
could take offense at. Koenig came
out and ordered me TO move on. /
refused to do so as l was upon a
public sidewalk and was waiting for
a girl friend. When l would not move
koenig went into his store, came out
with big strap and. grabbing me
about the waist, spanked and strapped
me s hard as he could. II there is
any satisfaction TO be had out of the
law l mean to have it,
Policeman c. E. Keyes, who was de-
tailed to investigate the spanking af-
lair, reported that he ascertained that
many residents in the neighborhood of
koenig's store had been annoyed by
boys ringing doorbells. and that he
also learned that Miss Cowls had acted
as a lookout for the mischief makers
and would warn them at the approach
of any person who might seek to ap-
prehend them

OAKLAND March 15.-A charge of
felony embezzlement against W r
Kane, former cashier at the Forum
cafe, was dismissd by Judge Harris
today on motion of Chief Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Carey. The action was
taken after an exporting Of the books

show any ground for the accusation
against Kane,
Kane was said TO have ia ken Ss171o
and the exporting showed that amount
10 be short when receipts for a certain
time were compared with the amount
deposited in the bank. The records
however. revealed that Kane had had
authority to pay out cash TO defray
running expenses, such as salaries and
also that Mana ger Brown had taken
money for his own uses without put
ting tags in the drawer TO account for
his own Withdrawals Brown admitted
this on the witness stand today.
Attorney Asa Y. Mendenhan repre-
senting Kane. argued that 1t would be

LOS ANGELES CHAMBER
EVOLVES SAME IDEA
Coast Commercial Bodies United
OH Government Line

OAKLAND, March 15.-Several weeks
ago the Oakland chamber Of commerce
issued letter to the various CONNER
cial bodies affiliated with the Associ-
ated Chambers of Commerce of the Pa
cife Coast asking support of a project
Of the federal government establishing
and maintaining a line of merchant
ships on the Pacific coast and through
the Panama canal. Until today no word
was received in reply from the Los An
geles chamber of commerce. when a
similar proposition was received from
the southern city.
The Los Angeles body has evolved
the same idea that was promulgated by
the local body and is seeking support.
Inasmuch as all the commercial organ
lzations on the coast are believed to
favor governmental controlled steam
ships on the Pacific as well as on the
Atlantic 1t is likely that the support
will be given.
The. Los Angeles communication will
be taken up by the directors of the
local chamber at their next meeting
