ANNOYING FOR
BUSINESSMEN
Daughters of Romany"
Fall Into Clutches of
Police.

Mrs. Grofo Frank, 26, and Maria
John, 40, gvpsics, were arrested yes
tcrday afternoon by Patrolman
Frank Van Bezel on Main street.
The two women were arraigned be
fore Judge Perkins this morning,
charges OF telling fortunes without
first having obtained license and
disturbing the peace in local res
taurant being brought against them.
Thcy entered pleas Of not guilty
through their attorneys, Alfred
Elaisdell and Lee Nuffer and asked
for jury trial Bail was fixed at
$500 each and the two women were
remanded to the custody of the sher-
iff in default. 1t is expected that
the trial will be held tomorrow al
though no definite date has been
fivcd.
The arrests followed complaints
from several sources which had
reached headquarters. Ray Edgar
is said to have lost $47 as result
Of a visit from gypsies to his store.
Following his complaint about 20
gypsies were rounded up by city po-
lice and attaches of the sheriff S of
flee. They were taken to the county
j..il but Edgar and clerk working
for him were unable to identify any
Of them as their visitors.
In the meantime Patrolman Van
Bczel had seen the Frank and JOHN
women on Main street. In his re-
port he said that the women had
goue,.to the Saddle Rock Cafe wher.
they purchased some food and tina:
they then created a disturbance
seeking to gain access to the cash
register only to be baked by an
ernploye. They then went to the
I'acific Finance company where they
told the fortune of one of the en-
p(oyes and were paid by him.
Told to Leave
Percy Ecchols, manager of the
firm, returned about the time the
women had completed the fortune
telling and ordered them out of the
place. A slight alteration followed
and Van Rezel placed them under
arrest as they left.
The gypsies rounded up by the
sheriff and the city police were
released, no charge being brought
Hgainst them but they were notified
by the sheriff that they had just "a
hours in which to get out of the
county.
They are travelling in several
automobiles of expensive make. 1t
is said that they have been in and
about CaleXico for several days
,'rlor to their arrival in Ell Centre.

LOS ANGELES, Dee. 10
The oil derrick assault on Cal
ifornia S beaches was suffering
from another setback here to-
day after Federal Judge Jere-
miah Neterer had dismissed
the suit of the General Petro-
leum Corporation to force A. l..
Hobson and others to grant
access to certain Ventura tide
lands.
The action grew out of the
refusal of Hobson, and a num-
Der of other land owners, to al
low oil companies to cross n
"bottle neck'' said to be pri
vate property. Hobson owns
acreage in the new Rincon oil
field in Ventura county.
Judge Netercr S decision
practically isolates the General
Petroleum leases and makes ap-
proach to them puzzle.

Much selling pressure and but little

to bring about something of a recovery
in wheat, but the undertone remained

Contributing to wheat weakness was
the fact that export demand for North
American shipments became slack

estimated to have been taken. On the
other hand, Liverpool quotations re-

One of the features in the corn mar

Moscow knew Mac a genial comrade always ready

mounted by shock of unruly hair his merry eyes and
friendly smile and his broad Scotch accent made Mac
one Of the most popular and likeabe figures in the
international group in Moscow.
But in Moscow MacManus was already suffering from
failing health and the gradual loss of physical strength
which ended in his untimey death. The qualities which
made Mac the leader he was the Mac who helped
to keep the working class movement alive in England
