FISHER GETS
REHEARING IN
DIVORCE SUIT

NEW YORK, March II [H9.-Harry G.

turfman, won a point today in the
legal tilt with his wife, the former
Countess Beaumont Justice Tierney
ordered Mrs. Fishers separation action,
which was decided in her favor by
default, returned to the trial calendar.
Justice Tierney granted Mrs. Fisher
a separation on February g. awarding
her annual alimony of $4,000. The
hearing was held over the protest of
counsel for Fisher, who said his chent
was on the way to Europe to get wit
nesses who could refute the Wife's
charges of cruelty and abandonment.
At that time counsel for Mrs. Fisher
suggested ironically that Fisher was
going abroad probably to get Mutt and
Jeff, the characters of his comic strip,
to testify for him.
After hearing Mrs. Fishers story of
her life with Fisher Justice Tierney
said from the bench that the car
toonist was apparently the kind Of
man who drew pictures to amuse
children during the day and then went

also characterized Fishers drawings

HUGE NARCOTIC RING
BROKEN BY ARREST

NEW ORLEANS, March II. GA
huge narcotic ring whose operations
federal agents believe had extended
into several southern states, was
thought to have been broken up here
today with the arrest of August
scontrino, alleged head of the ring
and two other men.
Along with Scontrino, they held
Angelo Pinez, an alleged undesirable
alien, and Daniel Gold, charged with
serving as Scontrino's go-between in
dealing with prospective narcotic
purchasers. A fleet of II automo-
biles in which officers said Scontrino
made quick deliveries, and automatics
with $4,000 rounds of ammunition,
with which they think the cargoes
were protected, also were in the
hands of officers. The arrest came
after officers had arranged for the
purchase of 125 ounces of narcotics
at $500 an ounce Two ounces of the
prospective purchase already had been
delivered to agents as samples. Of
ficers telephoned Scontrino that they
had found the samples satisfactory,
and went to his place in Little
Italy" in the lower part of the
French quarter, to procure the re-
mainder.
They found Pinez with Scontrinc.

that they have improved their
