By the Associated Press.


LONDON, November 2.-The indi-

Morocco are preparing to go into
Winter quarters does not mean that
there will be a cessation of fighting,
says a dispatch to the Daily Mail, for
II the Riffs live up to their reputation
they will harry the French and also
the SpaniardS after their own fashion
of warfare.
Ridiculing reports that Abd-el-Krim,
leader of the rebellious Moroccan
tribesmen, is at the end of his tether
and surrounded by tribesmen who
have reVolted, the correspondent says
such stories never emanated from
French headquarters. He adds that
Add -krim probably is reasonably
satisfied with his position and that
seemingly he still has plenty of
money, weapons and reserves.
The French army made a great ad-
vance in the eastern sector of the
battle front, declares the correspond
ent, but they never brought the
enemy to battle. Marshal Petain
enormously increased the prestige of
the French arms. He re-established a
position which will enable France to
speak with firmnesS and authority in
any possible peace conference, but as
yet Abd-el-krim in noWise is defeated.
In the Spanish sector the situation
about Ajdir, the former headquarters

MISSING GIRL SEARCH
ENDS IN ARREST
Fifteen Year-Old Student Found,
and Harry Owens, 36, Mar

A search for a 15-year-old girl stu
dent at Bushes High School who had
been missing since the night of Hal
loween ended spectacularly yesterday
at 110 Third street, when police ar
rested Harry Owens, SO, married, of
42S Seventh street southwest, on a
statutory charge.
Fourth precinct police had been
working feverishly to locate the girl
all yesterday afternoon after being in
formed by a liquor peddler that he
had sold liquor to a man who later
told him he was going to kill girl
and then was going to commit suicide
himself. The liquor vender's descrip-
ton of the man tailed with that
given the police elsewhere.
AS dusk was falling Detectives How
ard Il. Ogle, w. +. Burke, j. w. Wise
and Sergt. j. II. Lee entered the
Third street house. The girl was
alone in the room of the house. She
told the police that the man had gone
out to get something to eat. She was
being taken to the House of Detention
when the police espied owens. They
gave chase and Detective Ogle caught
up with him and placed him under ar
rest after sprinting several blocks.
A warrant alleging white slavery
had already been issued for owens
when the police arrested him. This
charge, according TO the police, is
to be dropped and another sub
stituted.
The story that the police uncov-
cred, according to Capt. Headley of
the fourth precinct, who personally
supervised the search. was that
Owens, whom the girl knew pre-
viously. had met her and a girl friend
during the Halloween festivities and
had taken her for a ride about town.
The girl did not return home that
night. Police We're told she was
taken to house on Wiltberger street
and kept there for a time, later be
ing taken to the house on Third
street opposite the Botanic Gardens
You'll never have any trouble
with me-" Owens is alleged to have
told the police at the fourth precinct
after his arrest, indicating, it was
held, an intent to commit suicide
Capt. Headley Immediately had the
man stripped of any article which
might be used in such an attempt
and a guard stationed over him.

Questioning the right of the Dis

in front of hotels for the exclusive
use of private hotel taXicabs, Judge
John p Mcmahon has asked the
corporation counsel to present TO him
in Traffic Court tonight authority for
the ruling.

ing an official police sign, was con
tinued until authorities on the case
could be shown by the corporation

rested yesterday evening by Police
man Ambrose. who testified before
Judge McNahon that the defendant
had parked his machine in n space
allotted by the commissioners for the
exclusive use of private taXiS in front
of a downtown hotel
The judge claimed that it was only
by a special act of Congress that
space along the public highways was
allotted for public hack stands, and
that in his opinion this act did not
include private parking spaces for
taxis operating from certain hotels.
when this act was adopted" the
Judge stated several members of
Congress were denied the right to
park in the restricted areas for con
gressionaI business. And vet this
right seems to he given by the Com
missioners to private hackers.
Il do not see what right the Dis
trict Commissioners have in setting
aside a portion of the public street
for the exclusive use of private
company. I believe if they can do
this a local merchant has the right
10 demand that the street in front
of his store shall be used only by
his own machines. L can see that
the Commissioners can provide for q

derstand how they can give TO u
