IgnOre Edict to
Dust Officials:
SaxOny Cdlmer
BY CARL D. GROAT
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Oct. 3l.-Th eBavarian
government has decided to retain
former Federal Dictator Won Lossow
despite Chancellor Stresemann's de-
mand that he be dismissed Munich
dispatches said today.
Won Lossow was appointed com
mander of the Bavarian Reichswehr
when after his removal as dictator
in Bavaria by the Reich, federal
troops in this area were ordered to
take an oath of loyalty to the state
instead of the Reich.
The tension was considerably re-
lieved when it was learned Saxon
socialists had decided to form Il new
government, free of the. communists
to whom the central government OBJ
jected.
The attempts of the radical labor
organizations to force Il strike
throughout the state in defiance of
federal Dictator Mueller's decree,
were reported in latest dispatches
to have met with little success.
In Berlin another threatened cab
met crisis came and went. Efforts
of some of the socialists to bring
their organization to demand relief
from the coalition cabinet of their
representations failed ana Chancel-
lor Stresemann prestige went up
correspondingly today.
The federal government was still
waiting today for compliance with
its demand that the Bavarian gov
ernment place the Reichswehr in
its district back under the federal
control from which it kidnapped
them Il week ago by administering
an oath of loyalty to the state gov
ernment.
The government s demand was
not accompanied by threats but it
was thought the presence of be-
.ween $4,000 and 10000 troops in
Saxony might soon be rendered
unnecessary by Saxon compliance
and this was considered here as suf
ficient warning to bring Bavaria to
time.

Tonight Witches
and Spooks Are
Abroad

Hallowe 'en is the name Civ
en- to the night of October 81,
and the eve of All Saints day,
November 1. Its celebration is
a revival of primitive religious
customs, beliefs and supersti-
tions. On November the
great autumn festival to the
sun which the Druids performed
as a thanksgiving for their
harvcsts was held. During these
festivals there was feastirg of
nuts, apples and other fruits
and there were games, usually
of a superstitious nature.
But what was once cere-
mony Of belief has now become
an event of jollity. As the
modern superstition goes, it is
the night when witches lurk be-
hind chmneys, ghosts of the
dead rise up to haunt the living
for a single right, and goblins
and black cats with dread pow
ers are out to cause dire grief
for the unwary.
The Hallowe en- fortune tell
ing, which usually has a prom
inent place in every modern eel
ebration of the night dates back
to the time when st. Matrimony
was chosen the patron saint of
Hallowe en-.
Her.ce, for this reason, it is
the very best time Of the whole
year for discovering just what
sort Of a. husband or wife one
is to be blessed with.

UNUSUAL CRISIS
RESULTS OVER
AUDITORS FEE
Accountants Ruling Acts
AS a Genuine
Boomerang

Officials of Imperial County
have been interested III recent
ruling by District Attorney Fitch of
Fresno county, in which he main
tains that payment of w. d. Ham
man, an accountant hired by the
Fresno county grand jury to audit
the countv's books, is illegal. The
interest of the local officials is due
to the fact that Hamman audited
the books of Imperial county at the
instigation of the grand jury during
the first half of this year.
The peculiar part of the Fresno
district attorneys decision is that
it is based on an Interpretation of
the state law unearthed several
weeks ago by Hamman himself.
In making his audit, Fresno re-
ports state that Hamman found
the board of supervisors had turn
ed over to the county auditor, the
collection of fees for tEes handling
of state orphans. He had, the prac-
tice stopped on the ground that the
legislature had not relegated to the
supervisors the power to authorize
payment of fees or salaries not spe-
Gifted by statute. sFf
Auditor Kelly of Fresno county
accordingly asked District Attor-
ney Fitch for an opinion on the
payment of Hamman salary,
holding that the supervisors have
not power to authorize payment of
salary to an expert accountant not
specified in the county government
act of the Legislature. If the opin-
ion of the district attorney is sus-
tanned, Kelly has announced that
he will withhold payment of Ham
man s salary.
