Miss Helen Jacobs of Berkeley. Calf,
today defeated Mrs. Molla Mallory,
national woman's champion, In the
quarter. finals of the Essex County
Club invitation tournament here. 60.
10-S.
Displaying a smashing style OF
game that excelled anything she has
shown in her invasion Of the East,
the Pacific Coast champion won eight
straight games before Mrs. Mallory
was able to break through. The
younger girl then appeared to tire
and the national champion rallied to
take four games in succession. The
next game was deuced a. halI -dozeh
times before it ended.
The match was marked almost en-
tirely by haseline play, with each play
er driving to the others backhand.
Miss Jacobs service resulted In three
love games during the second set.
BY her defeat of Mrs. Mallory the
California girl seems assured OF meet
ing Helen Wills in the finals OF the
tournament.
During Miss Jacobs match against
the national champion Miss Wills was
meeting Mrs. B. Il. Cole, I'd, of North
Andover on the adjoining court. Miss
Wills won the first three games or ner
match and then apparently turned her
attention to the eebs-Mallory match,
losing the next three. She rallied to
take the set, 6-3.
Miss Wills easily ran through the
second set, 6-1, giving her the match.
AS a result of the matches played
today, which cleaned up the fourth
round, the semi-finals will be played
tomorrow with Miss Wills against
Mrs. J. Dallas Corbiere of Boston and
Miss Jacobs. matched with Miss
Margaret Blake OF Lenox. Mrs. Cor
biere defeated Miss Rosamund New
ton of Brooklyn today, GO, 6-3, and
Miss Blake defeated Miss Elizabeth
Bright of Cambridge, IS, Cd, e..
Miss Jacobs victory over Mrs. NAL
lory upset the predictions of tennis
followers who had expected the clint
nation of the 1S-year-old Western girl
as result of her showing at East
Hampton. N. Y, last week when she
was defeated by Miss Penelope Ander-
son OF Richmond, Va. In the East
hampton tournament Miss Anderson
was beaten by Miss Eleanor Goss, who
later lost to Mrs. Mallory.

CAMPBELL TO TELL
BOARD OF SHOOTING
Police Trial Tribunal to Hear
Several Cases Involving
Officers Tomorrow.

Policeman B. r. Campbell of the
tenth precinct, will appear before the
police trial board tomorrow in con.
nection with the fatal shooting of
Larry Hall near the Soldiers Home
grounds, the morning of July 10.
Hall, with companions, was in a
speeding car, pursued by Campbell
who was on his motor cycle with Po-
liceman w. S. Buchanan in a side car.
Campbell Is reported to have fred in
an attempt to stop the car, one of the
bullets lodging in the back OF Halls
neck. killing him instantly.
Buchanan to Appear.
A coroner's jury subsequently ex-
onerated Campbell Of culpability, but
Maj. Edwin Hesse, superintendent of
police. directed that he be brought be-
fore a trial board, following an inves-
tlgatlon OF the case. Buchanan will
appear before the board also.
The case of Policeman Edward M.
Taylor of the ninth precinct, charged
with the use Of his pistol in violation
of the rules of the department while
in pursuit Of occupants of an alleged
speeding car, Is another of the more
important cases scheduled for tomor.
row. 1t is contended that he dis.
charged his pistol in the air merely to
stop the driver Of the automobile.
False Age Charge.
A number of witnesses probably
will be examined in a case involving
Policeman Harry Conrad Fuchs Of
the fourth precinct, alleged to have
given false age at the time he made
application for a position in the De.
partment.
Investigation of report Of his hav.
ing given his age as Is years in order
to make him eligible for appointment
resulted from the receipt of an an.
onymous letter by police officials some
time ago.
Fuchs denies having falsely stated
his age, and has filed an affidavit
of his mother in support of his con.
tention. Army and school records are
expected to be offered in evidence In
the case.
Fourteen other cases. MOST Of them
of a minor nature, will be brought
to the attention of the board, which

WIVENHOE, England, July 81
Exploits of bold, bad smugglers of so
TO 100 years ago are being emulated
by present-day smuggiers in convey
ing contraband goods from the con-
tinent to out-of-the-way places on the
eastern coast of England.
Instead of using sail and rowboats,
the smuggler of today pursues his
trade in lodging revenue officers by
means Of swift motor yachts or shall
low-draught motor boats. which can
enter and leave secret coves almost
forgotten by the present generation.
With the abolition of almost all OF
the coast guard service, there are long
stretches of coast not so carefully
watched as formerly. and the 'free
traders" are reaping a rich harvest in
landing cargocs of wines. spirits, to-
bacco and silks. Motor cars are then
brought into service and the goods
rushed to various parts OF the coun-
try for quick sale.

Poole Harbor,. in Dorset; Deal and
Sandwich. on the Kent coast. all have

both the registration certificate and
the coupon which is filed in the
license Office, will serve as a protec-
ton to a bona fide owner in case of
attempted registration based on
fraudulent claim of ownership. The re-
quirement of written signatures will
also tend to discourage the entry OF
fictitious names and addresses, since
the signatures will later be compared
in the event of the sale or exchange
of any registered car.
81. Discontinuance Of issue Of un-
usual or significant numbers in the
lettered series. The discontinuance Of
the practice of reserving and issuance
of license numbers in the lettcred
series-special numbers for which
many. individuals show preference
will materially simplify the problem
of storing and issuing large number
of tags in an orderly manner. 1t will
also result in a saving in clerical time.
"5. Engine number file. 1t Is pro-
posed to establish an engine number
file, utilizing the auditors coupons
after they have been checked against
the cashiers receipts. These engine
number coupons will constitute con-
tinuous history of each motor vehicle
as it is transferred from one owner to
another and will serve to minimize
the present large number OF false reg
istrations. They will also become eff
fective instruments in the control of
car theftS.
IS. Storage and arrangement of
tags in letter and number sequence to
speed up issues. At present no serious
effort Is made to obtain delivery Of,
store and stack tags in proper Sc
quence to facilitate issues. The meth
DDS proposed which are described in
detail in this report will greatly speed
up issues.
~. Establishment Of three tag-fs-
suing stations during the renewal
period instead of two. In the past
the license Office has distributed
pleasure car tags during the renewal
period from the water registrars
office and the other tags from the
license office. 1t is proposed that ap-
plicants for less than five sets of
pleasure car tags will continue to
obtain them from temporary quar-
ters of the license Office in the water
registrars Office during the month of
December, but that applicants for five
or more sets shall obtain them at
room 100, where an extra tag-issuing
station will be set up in the corridor
in front of the Office Of collector of
taxes, and the temporary cages al
ready located there will be utilized.
In this way, the general public which
will obtain tags at the water regis
trar's office will not be Inconvenience
as they have been in the past by long
waits in line while a single applicant
obtains from 10 to 80 sets of tags at
one time''

American Duchess Renounces Italy
And Regains Her Lost u. S. Citizenship

Miss Moore married the duke at
Greenwich on August Is, 1907, at a
ceremony which drew to the home of
her mother many from the most ex.
elusive social circles in this country

families abroad. There were four
children by the marriage and the three

The duchess left Italy in 1925 to
visit her mother, and shortly after
she started divorce proceedings, the
first phase Of the case being given

weeks ago the phase into which the
case had entered arose out of the
