Refuses To Act.

1t did not take Prosecutor Hugh

Assistant Corporation Counsel Penni-
man to act laid the facts before the
doughty Wayne county official. Rob

At the prosecutors request, Police
Commissioners Croul sent two detec-

instructions to the letter and re-
turned, a little later with Robin S
license, which they presented to the

Prosecutor Shepherd had no right to
butt in" on the case.
The council. on April %, approved
Robins application for license to
do business at the Kercheval-ave. ad-
dress Later II was discovered that
this was In restricted district, and
the council passed resolution re-
questing the county treasurer TO re-
turn the license fee to Robin. The
place continued to run, however. and,
on Sept. 26, Aid. Schultz put through
resolution, instructing the corpora
tion counse's Office TO make com
plant against Robin in the recorders s
court. The matter was turned over
to Penniman, but he refused To take
action unless Aid Schultz would sign
the complaint s,,le alderman did not
consider that il was up TO him to
do this, and he got Aid. Walsh to in
troduce resolution in the council
directing the police to make com
plant Officers went to Penniman
for that purpose. but Penniman still
insisted that Schultz would have TO
sign the complaint. Schultz then
took the matter up with the prosecu-

According TO Penniman, Saloon

Schultz had told him the agitation
was all q bluff, and that he had the

II am not defending the saloon

THREE JURORS PICKED
IN MCNAMARA CASE

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov 9-With
Brewster c. Kenyon, a millionaire oil
operator, passed for cause by both
sides, and the state about ready to
accept j. b. Sexton, a very wealthy
orange grower who had previously
been passed by the defense, the pros
poets were good when the McNam-
ara case was continued today. that
the nine seats still vacant would be
filed within the week, and the sec
ond exercising OF peremptory chal-
lenges would be begun. The defense
still has 10 peremptory challenges
and the state eight.
Kenyon is almost certain TO remain
permanently. He is an educated
man. a former major in the Spanish
war and plainly impartial, He told
Darrow he had no great opinion OF
Gen. Otis, nor was he impressed with
his worth as a citizen. and he told
the state his prejudice against Otis
would not make him biased against
the states case.
Sexton Is also "A very prominent citl-
zen. but the state is trifle afraid OF
him because he says he would not
convict on circumstantial evidence
unless it were absolute.
The case has settled into a routine.
and is expected to be monotonous un-
tl the box is again filled. Darrow
and his associates are preparing afii-
davits for change of judge but are
not expected to submit them to the
court before the middle Of next week

ATTEMPT MADE TO CARRY
OFF LITTLE ITALIAN GIRL
Josie Pallazola Seized In Home
By Three Men; Scream
Brings Lover To Rescue,

Three Italian desperadoes, thought
TO have been in quest OF ransom
money, made bold attack on Josie
Pailazola, 10 years old. as she was
ironing in the kitchen of her home,
No. 296 Macomb-st., at $3.50 o'clock,
Wednesday evening, and selling the
girl, carried her rs far as the barn
in the rear of her home, where, being
pursued, they dropped her.
Her lover, Joseph Barcelona, who
boards in the PallaZella home fired
a shot at the desperadoes as they fled
down the alley toward Russell-st., but
they made their escape.
Mrs. Thomas PallaZola, the girls
mother, was dickering with a fish
peddler liz front OF the house when
the girl was attacked. Barcelona
was with her, and when they heard
a shrill scream, they rushed to the
rear OF the house in time to see three
men dragging Josie into the barn.
Josie. who is rather pretty young
miss, with auburn hair and fair com
plexion, unusual in Italian types, says
that she was standing with her back
TO the door when the three men quiet
ly entered, and that she was unaware
of their presence until she was sur
rounded by them. One of them, APP
parently tC prevent startled cry,
quietly remarked, Where is your
mother"
At the same instant, another clap
ped his hand over her mouth. and
picking her up, carried her out of the
back door. She managed to scream,
which brought her mother and her
lover running to her rescue, and foil
ed the plot.
Il have no lover but Joe, and |
some admirer," said Josie, Thursday
morning. I'VE have never received
any threatening letters, either, and
We don't know what to make OF il"
Barcelona is inclined to the belief
that the men wanted to carry Josie
away and hold her for ransom, though
he says they are poor people, and he
couldn't gee how the ransom scheme
would work out successfully.
Joe" is a very grim person. 21
years old, who says that he wouldn't
care TO see the kidnapers arrested.
Arrest em?'' says Joe. Huh! |!
Cemetery for them, II | find out who
they are"
Detectives Donovan and Grove are
working on the case. but Josie and
her lover both say that they cannot
give any clue to the identity OF the
Iniscreants
