Mexico was about to report out the
Iatter's resolution calling for the
withdrawal of recognition from Car

TRICK IS ANCIENT.
1T STILL WORKS
Ligmon. Va. Man Gave Strange,
Change. But the Stranger
Gave Him Nothing.

Scientists have discovered that the
'pccketbook trick" originated in
prehistoric days. but it is still be-
ing employed with great success.
Gordon Holmes. of Ligmon, Va. is
the latest victim. He told the DO
lice at Union Station yesterday that
he met a man in front of the ter
minal who produced a pocketbook.
which. he said, contained 81. 900. The
stranger declared he had found the
money receptacle in front of the
station and needed change.
Holmes willingly gave the stranr-
er s67 in return for which he was
to receive half the contents of the
pocketbook. The pocketbook finder
went of to make more change and
thus far apparently has had no sue
cess. He hasn't returned.

The facade of the Police Court is a

brim with a liquid erroneously called
whisky. committed three distinct
violations of District laws in the very
shadow of the Police Court. Police
man Heidc. of the courts clerical

length on the sidewalk in. front of the
courthouse. He was shouting and
cursing and otherwise misbehaving
before a large crowd.
Heide. with assistance. dragged the
intoxicated man into the corridor of
the courthouse and telephoned for a
patrol wagon. He was taken to the
Georgetown station as all the other
patrol drivers were attending the
police school at headquarters. In the
Police Court yesterday he was charged
with three offenses and was fined SIS
in each of two cases and SO in the
third, a total of $40.
