AUTO|STS
N. M. A. Warns Owners Un-
scrupuIous Grafters Are
Preying Upon Public.

Besides the dangers that ordinarily
beset the path of the motorist there
is an additional nenace-and it
isn't traffic cops either-the Ma
tional Motorists Association said in
a statement given out last night.
This new form of lurking trouble
lies in the grating schemes that
have come into being through the
agency of many automobile clubs,
Fred H. Galley, secretary to the as
ISOLATION said.
Pointing out that the United
States is infested with fly-by night
schemes to mulct motorists, hotel
men and garage owners out of vast
sums of money under the pretext
of good roads development, the as
ISOLATION urges the cooperation of
all its affiliated clubs, in wiping out
what II terms q "pernicious form OF
graft Trading on the reputation
of legitimate automobile clubs and
touring associations, these fake or
CARNATIONS are said to be operating
under various names.
In bringing the matter to the at
tention of the Postmaster General,
Secretary Galley said that member
ship fees in some of these organiza-
tons run as high as $39.75 an
nually.

I'm telling you about lived i'm the
perfect content of his bachelor
quarters in the hotel, and had
managed to dodge successfully

He was always surrounded by
a crowd of good pals, and his
moose, deer and bears that he
had shot and hung or had made
into big rugs.
On every side of the wall were
framed flashlight pictures of

When Answering Alarm
at Lance Mansion.
BURGLAR" ESCAPES

Chains of heavy wrought iron, strung
across the driveways of the A. H.
Lance estate, $50 Durkee avenue,
formerly the home of z. G. Simmons,
nearly resulted in keeping out the
police on Saturday night.
1t still lacked little of midnight
when a Waterman thought he heard
a prowler attempting to force a screen
from one of the windows at the rear
of the residence. Fearing that an in
vestigation would brighten the intru-
der away, he slipped noiselessly to a
telephone in another part of the man
sion and notified the police department.
Two Police Cars Start.
A moment later two machines loaded
with police were speeding away in the
direction of Durkee avenue, bent on
interrupting the wouldbe burglar at
his work AS they approached the es-
tate lights on the cars were cut off,
lest their beam attract attention.
Meanwhile the Waterman, remember
ing that he had failed to warn the
police operator of the chains on the
driveways, again called the depart
ment. "They left here several minutes
ago, and should be there any time
now," the police operator replied
The wacthman listened for a few
seconds. They are here sure enough"
he replied and rushed outside, disap-
pearing into the darkness as he sped
down one of the driveways.
Police Cars Crash Windshields.
simultaneously according to plans,
the darkened cars had started into the
driveways. The two crashes, as the
windshields of the machines struck the
choins, came within few seconds of
each other, making sufficient noise to
warn any discriminating second story
worker that the immediate regions
waxe becoming too densely populated
with gentlemen attired in blue
Fortunately the casualties were
slight It. Charles Rock and Officer
Lawrence 'Bauschelt riding in different
cars, were slightly cut by flying glass.
Officers who went through the glass
shower without having blood drawn
were Edward Pecan, George O'Hara,
Sgt. Frank Schneeberger and Frank
McClusky.
A search of the place by the police
failed to reveal hide or hair of the
marauder. So far as the police could
learn, nothing was found to be missing.

the summer months idling away the
time among the bright lights of ii
city this year, but are active wi

Considerable logging operations a

American government in regard to
Russia, Secretary Hughes, replying on
July 10 to letter from Mr.. Gompers,
in which he made direct reference to
public demands for recognition, de-
clared this could not come while the
Soviet leaders evidenced "a spirit of
destruction at home and abroad"
There is Conclusive evidence" the
secretary said, that those in control
at Moscow have not given up their
original purpose of destroying govern
ments wherever they can do so
throughout the world"
Mr.. Gompers, in his letter, referred
to what he considered the "lnisinfor-
nation gathered by returning travel
ers during closely supervised tours" in
Russia and gave it as the opinion of
American labor that even the thought
of recognition by the United States
of such "a villanous depotism is re-

HIRAM JOHNSON HOME
DECLINES DECISION
California Senator Arrives Without
Making Up His Mind on Can
didacy for President.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)


New York, N. Y.-United States Sen
ator Hiram Johnson of California,
doomed by his friends for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination in 1924,
returned from a tour of Europe today
on the Leviathan, refusing to indicate
to reporters or the crowd who gather
ed to meet him, whether his hat was
in the ring.
Johnson enthusiastically professed
to see two good omens in the incidents
of the homecoming. One was the
fact that in the little fleet of craft
that went down the bay to meet him
was the tug Menominee, the other was
the fact that while he didn't shy his
hat into the ring, a capricious wind
SHE'D it into the bay.
The senator only laughed, however,
omens and declared:
81 will not be interviewed on do
destic politics at this time. Later l
may have little to say"
Friends indicated they expected an
important statement from him We'd
nesday night when he addresses the
testimonial dinner being arranged in
his honor.
When he anded at the battery the
senator was cheered by a crowd of
more than 1000 persons.
To reporters who pressed him for
some indication of how he feels about
the johnson for president" move
ment he had ever the same answer,
though he phased it differently-"th that
he wasn't going to be interviewed on
that subject today"
