JAIL, NOT FINE, FOR

1CONTTNTrTD FROM PAGN ONNl
necessity of registering their fellow
countrymen who are unable to read or
understand English ard who come
within the age of 21 to 80 years, in
elusive, on June 5th.
A great many will not understand
the purpose of registration and will
lie suspicious of it, and therefore ne
eject or avoid registration unless it
IS explained to them.
1t is therefore suggested. that where
there are a great many Mexicans,
Japanese and Hindoos, as is the case
in this county, that any citizen who
may be in touch with the leaders of
any of the above named foreigners
take the personal responsibility of see
ing to it that such people are in
formed of the necessity of registra-
ton, and that registration is univer-
sal and is not directed against them,
and has nothing to do with matters
IF immigration.
1t is also suggested that these lead
crs see to it that some one of their
people who is intelligent and can speak
I.nglish is present at every registra-
ton place where any number of their
people may be expected to register,
to act as interpreter.

f CENTRIC
REALTY AGENT NOW
IN POLICE CUSTODY

As a climax to a tumultuOuS flnan-
c,al career, William II. Carlson, for
mer Los Angeles bank president, real
estate operator, promo ter, attorney.
man -about-town and mayor of San
Diego for two terms. was arrested
after a protracted search by federal
authorities at Nogales, Ariz., and is
ibeing held for removal. According to
telegraphic advices received yester-
6;.y at the Federal building in Los
Angeles, Carlson was formerly in the
real estate business in Ell Centro.
Carlson will face charge of using
the United States mails in further
ance of scheme to defraud, as set
out in secret indictment returned
against him by the United States
grand jury in Los Angeles last JAN
rary. His scheme, it is alleged, was
to induce victims to invest in mort
gagged property in the vicinity of Nj
land, Imperial Valley. His opera
tions are said to have netted him
thousands.
Ten years ago Carlson became
prominent in Los Angeles through the
ope perations of bank which was con-
Quoted in the Chamber of Commerce
building in connection with the Los
Angeles Securities Company, Of
which he was president. The bank
held out great promises to deposi-
tors.
In 1910 the bank closed it's doors,
accompanied by the usual "run."
When constables opened the doors
to search the vaults they found
rothing but a small, empty cubby-
hole.
Carlson later was in trouble almost
continuously until he left this city
FOR San Diego, where he continued
his financial career. In 1914 he was
indicted by the San Diego county
grand jury on four counts, charged
with selling property he did not
own. Warrants were issued, but he
was never apprehended.
A few months ago Justin E. Moore
brought suit against Carlson in the
United States district court for the
Redondo Villa tract, alleging that
Carlson, who had subdivided it and
had contracted for the sale of parts
of it, had defaulted in his payments
10 Moore.
Months before his indictment in
January, Postoffice Inspector Frank
Trout and other federal officers were
en- Carlson's trail, tracing him north
to the Canadian line and back again
to the Mexican border.
The overt act charged in the indict-
ment is that he misrepresented to
Harmon Cook, an aged inmate of the
Soldiers Home at Sawtelle, the con-
ditions of the sale of q lot in his 3d.
acre tract near INLAND. Letters on
which the indictment is based were
sent to Cook by Carlson from San
Diego.

CHARLES FLEISCHMANN AND PILOT DIE IN FALL
 OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

New York, Aug. 3.-Charles F1eisch- mann, son of Julius L. F1eischmann and heir to millions, was killed last night when the hydro-airplane in which he was flying plunged into the waters of Great South Bay. Harry Witz exhibition fier and pilot of. the machine, also met death.
 The accident occurred about one hundred feet in the air, when the ma chine collapsed. Young FNeischmann was hurled out to his death. WitZ, who was strapped to the seat, went down with the hydro airplane. As the machine struck the water, there was a big explosion.
 Young F1eischmann was a member of the First Battalion, Aviation Corps, and had been training some time. He left the naval station at Bay Shore, L IT., late yesterday afternoon. Just what happened to the machine has not been learned
 Several persons in power motor boat witnessed the accident and hur- ried to the scene. They recovered the bodies of F,lieschmann and Witz.
 Wftz, who met death with FleiSch- mann, was known chiefly as an ex- hfbition f1ier He owned and made young millionaire were riding when they fell into the bay. Witz had no connection with the naval training station FTeischmann was on leave at the time.

form the agreement will take remains to be seen, but in any event the Nor wegians are ready to promise defin- itely that nothing will reach Ger many.
 Norway has been largely dependent on Russia for food. Since the be- ginning of the war this supply has been cut off and the United States is her only remaining hope. Agree ments made with England regarding the movements of shipping have, been ratified by France and Italy but, con- trary to opinion, no British capital Is invested in Norwegian shipping. AS a matter of fact Norwegian law pro- hibits the foreign ownership of Morse vessels.
 Dr.. Nansen said that Norway had received no compensation from Ger many for the tonnage destroyed. Nor- way has protested against the depre- dations, which have included the lives of 600 men, as being illegal, but 1t is problenatical if there could be re- covery in money.
