Gerisb, special agent of the United States department of commerce "The great bulk of our New Eng land citizenry are not yet aware of the fact that recreation is an indus try, one of the largest industries in their midst,' he said. They have always thought Of New England as a workshop and only recently as q playground, but many of them do not yet realize that a playground can be the source of income"

| Washington, Nov. 1s R-District Attorney Gordon resigned today from the special committee Of three appointed by Justice Siddons of the ! District of Columbia supreme court to decide whether there had been a criminal contempt of the court In the Fall-Sinclair oil trial Jury scan- dal.
 In letter to Justice Siddons, Mir Gordon said he and the special gov ernment oil counsel had filed the affidavits upon which q mistrial in the case was ordered and added:
 "I was then and am now. as were also the special government counsel, convinced that there was reasonable cause to believe that Q criminal con- tempt Of the court had been com mitted and l and those with whom I was associated were ready and willing to prosecute such persons against whom the court might see fit to issue rule 10 show cause for citation.

Courtroom. Cincinnati, Nov, cS (UP)-Ten men and two women will decide the fate Of George Remus, charged with the murder of his wife, Imogene.
 The jury at the trial of the former multi millionaire bootlegger, was completed at 2:3 today. The twelfth talesman accepted after five days Of jury selection, was the 172nd of those whose names were drawn in four venires.
 The twelve who will sit in 1udg- ment upon Remus are F.

 Cincinnati, Nov IS (P) - Romola Remus, daughter of George Remus by his first wife, who divorced him, came to court today to attend her fathers trial for staying his second wife, the former Imogene Holmes, Evanston. III.
 There was an endearing scene as Miss Remus threw herself into her fathers arms and embraced and kissed him.
 The young woman quit a new job In a Chicago cabaret to come to the trial. She went to work, she said, to earn money for her fathers de- fense.
 Remus, once the posscssor of mill lions built up by his efforts In the illicit liquor market after he desert ed a promising law practice in Chi cago, asserts he is broke.
 Once noted for his lavishness In tilL L'i lttliI illtlto anu llJtl diitS Nilli friends Remus in Jail a few days ago lamented:
 Hasn't Got n Dollar
 "Why if you were 10 ask me for a dollar, I could not give it to you. Think of that. George Remus could not give you a dollar"
 The court room appearance of Miss Remus was the most interest ing development of the morning.
 Judge Chester +. Shook mounted his bench at 930 a. m, but hearing the weekly report of the grand jury, which incidentally reported no new indictments in connection with the Remus case, rendering decisions in a few cases, and swearing and sift- ing a new venire for the RcmuS trIal, delayed the selection of the 18th and final juror to try the for mer liking of bootleggers.
 The ranks of the tentative jurors were further reduced this morning when George Awrey. 67, retired oil property buyer of Bartlesville, Okla, and Ann Arbor. Mich, was excused

ton. Banner reported the car was
taken from in front Of the Plaza
Hotel about 9 r. IA. October 27.
Roofing tacks, similar TO those
thrown out Of the bandit car to de-
10y pursuing automobiles were found
IN the car. All corresponded 20 tacks
thrown out by robbers who fled af-
ter attempting to hold up the North
Fort Worth Stock Exchange Bank N
month, leading Detective Chief wv
+. Kessler TO believe the same men
planned both hold-ups.
The North Fort Worth Bank rob.
berry failed when one or the hoId-ur
men accidentally discharged his
pistol and sounded alarm The rob-
bers became frightened and ran
without getting any money. Tacks
were thrown from the back of the
fleeing car, just as they were in the
Texas City robbery.
