been beached in shoal water here to
put her in shape to proceed to New

$4,000.

that greater damage was prevented
by the unusually heavy iron-bound

1900 Votes Days

to Be Counted Including City
of Portland End of Count
by Observation-Disclosures Filed
in REPUTATION Charges at
Dexter-Fort Kent Official
Alleges Breach of Faith by
Brewster Attorney y

Nearly 1900 votes were counted
on Wednesday by the councillors and
their sworn assistants who are en-
gagged upon the state wide recount
now under way at the State House.
Fourteen towns in oxford county
had been completed by Tuesday~night
and on Wednesday the remainder OF
Oxford county and the whole Of
Penobscot county including the city
Of Bangor was finished.
There remain abor. $1,000 ballots
to count including the city of Port
land and it was predicted by one OF
the officials last evening that at the
rate the count had been going, and
making allowances for the fact that
many of the precincts to be counted
are small ones. the count should be
finished by Monday night. The
count progresses much fast with
large precincts than with small ones
somewhat.
This official also stated that this
result of the count would not be
given out at the close of the check
up as there will be nearly 2,00(
doubtful ballots, not counted, which
| might swing the nomination one way
or the other. Rulings on these bal
lots must be secured from the SUI
preme court and it is expected that
it will take all of next week to com.
plete the work of the court.
The councillors did not count or
Wednesday evening and will moi
count bn Saturday as it is necessary
for many of them to be at theil
homes on Saturday to look after then
businesses and they feel that with the
count so nearly completed the delay
of one day will make no difference
in the time when the nomination viii
be made known. :

Of Role, Taken Back
RY Father Butch

New York. July 23--Two detectives
invaded gypsy camp in a wood at
Pelham Bay Park today and told
Peter Stokes. king of the camp. he
would have to give up his new
daughter in law. Annie Butch. IA,
who was married by gypsy rites sew
eral months ago to Steve Stokes.
heir apparent to the crown. Annie's
father, Ephraim Butch. garage
owner of Salem. Mass. accompanied
the detectives to claim his daughter.
Chief Stokes contended he had
bought Annie from her father for
$500 as bride for his son. but the
detectives refused TO recognize this
orthodox gypsy custom as neither
Chief Stokes nor Nilsson could pro-
duce the conventional American
marriage certificate to show that
Annie and Steve were legally mar
ried. Butch said he wanted his
daughter back because she was un-
happy with the tribe.

Allied Conference
Now Waiting Game

London, July 23.-(By A. P9-
With the French maintaining the
sanctity of the Versailles treaty and
the international bankers equally
firm in their demands for definite
guarantees to satisfy investors in
America and elsewhere who will be
asked to support German loan nee
essary to launch the Dawes plan. the
inter-allied conference has resolved
itself into a delicate waiting game.
The question of Cermany's pres
cnce at The conference table was dis
cussed and was practically the only
advance made during the second
plenary session held in the foreign
office during this afternoon. The
committees appointed a week ago
have withheld their reports because
it is impossible to make any real
progress until the existing differ
ences between the bankers and the
French arc ironed out.

Immigration Inspector Ad-
Vises Labor Department to
! Gust Seid Zerdecheno.

Oficial recommendation that t--Seid
Zerdecheno. self-styled Emir OF Kurd-
eStan, who goes under a dozen aliases,
among them Mohammed Saide Kakelo,
be deported was made to the De-
partment of Labor today by Louis
Hoffman. chief immigration inspector
at Baltimore.
Zerdecheno. whose Vaccinations
are said to extend through a half
dozen countries, all the while inter
woven with a tangled Skein of finan-
cial troubles, is at present in the
District jail awaiting the final deci-
sion of the Department of Labor in
his case. That he will be deported
is probable. according to immiaFation
officials who declare they Will press
the case against the alleged swindler
and see to it that he is returned to
kurdestan.
1t developed meanwhile today that
Zerdecheno. representing "a Chicago
book concern. sold several books to
George w. White of the National Met
ropolitan Bank about four years ago.
Zerdecheno has consistently denied he
was ever book agent. He also ask
ed Mr.. White, while he was here in
1921 with the Princess Fatima, to
make him a loan on some Jewelry,
which was refused. Later he sought
Mr.. White gain, asking him how he
could be introduced at the State De-
pdrtment, since, ne Sdld, ne ndu leit
his papers in New York, and again
asked the bank official for card to
the UniVerSity-Cl Club.
Career Seen Near End.
SO it appears that. the alien Zer-
decheno who is believed to be the
same dapper person who accompanied
the Princess Eatima to Washington
in 1921 as-Lieut.- stephen. Weinberg,
has ended his career in this country.
Clippings attached to the Ter
decheno file at the Labor Department
assert he served time in a Paris jail
for swindling~a a hotel bell-boy, was
apprehended in other cities and was
asked to leave Turkey.
The case is now before the board
of review of the Labor Department
last court of appeal for the alien.
short of a personal appeal to the
Secretary of Labor. A final decision
will be rendered within few days.

COMPOSES Two
fine MARCHES

Mrs. Philip Krall, Of Carson, a
piano student of gifted ability. has
recently composed two marches that
probably excel the efforts of any
other Nevada composer At least
this is the decision Of critics that
have had the opportunity Of hearing
her play the two compositions.
Since early youth Mrs, Krail has
showed marked musical ability. She
studied under Philip Krall and since
their marriage a number of years
ago, has continued in the study OF
harmony and arrangement. The
two marches vary widely in arrange
ment, one being spirited military
composition while the other. is OF
slower movement and was written
by Mrs. Krall especially for lodge
work
Mrs. Krall, is the daughter Of Mrs.
d. l.. Rodenbah OF this place and
formerly resided here.
