In the opening of the schools
yesterday, 1922 pupils regis

This is slightly below last
year, as there was some confu-

lines, and bad weather also is
supposed to have kept many little

In II schools there was an in

The Stadium high had 35 less

Lola Norris No LONGER Loves
Caminetti, the White Shaver
On the Stand Today

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. a.
The government today concluded
its case against F. Drew CANT
netti, accused of violating the
Mann white slave act In having
eloped with Miss Lola Norris. a
beautiful Sacramento girl, and
taken her to Reno.
1t is possible that Caminetti
will take the stand late this aft
ernoon in his own defense. Much
interest surrounds his testimony,
because of the defendants rela-
tions. His father is United States
commissioner of immigration.
Lola Norris and Marsha War
rington, the girls who eloped to
Reno with Diggs and Caminetti,
were the star witnesses yesterday,
repeating in a more concise and
detailed form than before the
story of their trip to Nevada.
Miss Norris testified that she had
loved Caminetti devotedly and
had only run away with him be-
cause he said home life for him
was unhappy, that his wife would

AS they stood on the porch after
dinner, waiting for Bartlett to rejoir
them, the four were soon surrounded
by an ever-growing circle Of friends
and near friends, and to his panied
surprise, the Watermelon was the adj
mired center of the group. All looked
on him much as the general did, not
so much as man but as character
out of the Sunday supplement. Bored
to exhaustion, he shook hands Imply

did not know and did not want to

and beat it up the line that evening,

Meanwhile, instead of getting the
most out of the short space of time
allotted to him and having Billy alone
somewhere, here he was shaking
hands with frowsy bunch of high.

The Watermelon looked around, des'
perately, miserably. Billy was gazing
at him from the edge of the crowd,
awe fighting with admiration and
amusement on her small face. Henri

showed him off as though he were a
