CLAIMS FRAUD
WAS PRACTlCED
PROMINENT REALTY BROKER
CHARGED BY WOMAN
Accusation Made That Lots Traded
for Slot Machines Exceeded
False Value Placed on
Them by Agent

Charging that E. A. Mcdonald, well
known young real estate broker Of Los
Angeles, with offices in the Bradbury
building, had defrauded her of $1,000
worth of real estate and that he was
aided later in the transaction by his
father, A. B. Mcdonald, 270+ West
Eighth street, by means of mortgage
dated before the property had passed
into their hands, Mrs. Ida c. Parle,
100 Maple avenue, appealed to Deputy
District Attorney Mccormick yester-
day afternoon and as a result a COM
plant probably will be filed today.
Mrs. Parle claims that several weeks
ago she was induced by Mcdonald to
trade him four lots she owned in West
minister Square, the value of which
was $1,000, for eight penny in the SLOT
perfume machines that he told her
We're worth q like amount Having
always trusted him." said Mrs. Parle,
'I decided the lots to him and in ex-
change received the eight machines,
which I later found were only valued
at $780, These machines were owned
by George w. Wassan, who had his
place of business in with Mcdonald
but who knew nothing of the transact
ton in regard to me.
Mcdonald" continued Mrs. Parle,
''I later found out, purchased the ma
chimes from Wassan for $500 and sold
them to me outright for $1,000, telling
me that they were worth that much
that Wassan would only sell them for
that amount and that the average in
come from one of the machines was
six dollars day. Although I endeav-
ored to make an appointment with
Wassan through Mcdonald, when I
appeared at the office Wassan was
never there and 1 was always met by
an apology from Mcdonald. 1 now
know the reason he did not care to
have US meet.
Asks for Property
after I had traded my four lots for
the machines" said Mrs. PARE, Il con-
fided to my intimate friends, who at
once became suspicious and urged me
to look further into the deal, with the
result L found that Mcdonald had
grossly misrepresented their value. I
begged him to return my property but
h would not hear Of it. I heard he
was negotiating a loan on this prop
erty, representing it's value at three
times its real worth and getting a
large loan on it. I spoiled this deal
for him in another endeavor to get
him to return my lots and at this he
and his father called on me and grew
. furious. They evidently became fright

MARRIAGE DECREE
IN PEORIA DIOCESE
Agreement Between Catholics and
Non-CathoIics Must Be in
Writing.

Bishop Edward NJ. Dunno OF the
Peoria diocese has made a new de-
cree with reference to the marriage
of Catholics to non-Catholics that
has already gone into effect.
Under the present decree, in order
to get dispensation for Catholic in
this diocese to marry non-Catholic,
it will be necessary for the non-Cath-
Ollie to agree in writing that the mar
riage tie be indissolute except by
death. This is one of the many
blows the Catholics are dealing the
divorce evil.
1t must also be agreed that all
children be raised and educated in
the Catholic faith, and that no 9TH
er marriage ceremony be performed.
These requirements have been OBJ
served in other dioceses for many
years, but in the Peoria diocese the
only requirement was the verbal
promise of the nom Catholic party.
Under the present decree of Bish-
op Dunno the non-Catholic must en-
ter into the agreement in writing be-
fore dispensation will be granted.

SEE COMET? SURE
Everybody Got a View of It Last
Evening for the First Time
This Trip.
MERELY SMALL FUZZY BALL
Tail Lost Because 1t Extends Toward
Earth-EcIipse of Moon Beau
tifuI Sight. :

For the first time since 1t entered
the evening sky the average Rock Isl,
ander last evening had an opportunity
to see Halley's comet 1t was a disap-
pointment, as it has been ever since
it hove into view. Instead of a fam
ing ball with long tail streaming out
behind, as many had imagined it would
fDpear, it resembled merely star of
first magnitude surrounded by a hazy
glow, the whole being considerably
less in size than the moon
1t was perfectly clear last evening
and there were no clouds to interfere
with observation either of the comet
or the moon during the eclipse. Dur
ing the first half hour of the eclipse,
which lasted from about 10 o'clock till
between / and 2, the comet was above
the horizon, but so low that the dim
ming of the moons rays had little eff
feet upon its lustre.
Little of the tail is visible now. for
it extends toward the earth in a curv-
ing line.
Did Astronomers Knowf
This curve suggests reasonable ex-
plapation of the view of the tail in the
morning sky for two or three days af-
ter the comet had passed to the other
side of the sun. Instead of the tail
having been lost or split into two parts,
as some astronomers declared, to the
layman who is not hampered by tech
nicalities it seems reasonable to sup
pose that the tail merely curved up
ward so that in the morning, even
though the comet was below the sun,
the end extended across the face and
up into the morning sky before the
sun rose. No tail appeared to be with
the comet for the reason that the end
near that body extended toward the
earth. while further on it crossed the
sun and became lost in the light.
What's your theory?
Most Beautiful Seen Here.
As to the eclipse, it was perhaps the
most beautiful that Rock Islanders
have ever had an opportunity to wit
ness. 1t was a field night for local
who were more fortunate
than their co-workers in the east, for
clouds were present over much of the
toward the Atlantic. The
eclipse came off exactly according to
schedule and hundreds here watched
It from start to finish.

City Chat
ON THE RIGHT ROAD.

Are you running on the main line or
the little old branch road?
How are you way-billed. brother, as
you bear through life your load?
The main line, wide and airy,
Stretches on to realms Of CLEAN,
While the little branch roads ended
Long before you reach the dream
Are you main line size or branch road Z?
That's the question all must ask
When they turn to face life's problem
and to meet the destined task;
The main line, where express trains
Thunder by in day or night;
Or the little branch road, ending
Where the sandbank hides the
light?
Better be main line while you're at it,
anyway;
With heart of manly courage travelling
down the cleaning way.
The main line, where the engines
Take the rail with Thunderstorm
And not the little branch road
That runs off in sandy ground.
