 Tn making his quick change, Crrussi neglected to transfer hs operators license and the car regis tration to his street clothes. and on arriving at the corner of Elm and Snalley street he failed to exercise proper judgment. according to the testimony in police court this morn. ing, with he result that his ear struck that Of John r.

 At about i:l5 o'clock the police heard Of the accident and Detective Sergean. EIlinger and Officer Feeney learned from the principals that Gerussi was driving north on Elm street and Boucher was coming into Elm stree. from Smalley. Accord ing 10 Boucher, he was driving at the rate Of about 10 or T. miles an hour. but according to Cerussi, Boucher was trying to turn the cor nsr while going a. least 25 miles an hour. Cerussi admitted he was driving at the rate Of 25 miles an hour, but blamed Boucher for the collision, as the latter should have stopped when he saw Cerussi pull ing to the left in an attempt 10 get past without striking anything.
 Sergeant Ellinger testified that he and Officer Feeney arrested Cerus- si on the charge of reckless driving in addition to the failure 10 have his license and registration in his possession.

ONCE PROUD NOTARIES
CONSIDERING A STRIKE

PARIS, April Z. P-The notary, for
centuries a powerful figure in French
life, has lost his proud position.
The notaries claim they are "starv-
ing to death" and even talk of join
ing union and going on strike.
They regret the days when popular
belief held their greatest worry was
where to store their money.
The government has doubled the
pre-war scale ffees, but with paper
francs worth only one-fifth of their
pre-war value the notarlies claim the
fees hardly pay the clerks who do
the work. Also marriage contracts
are becoming rarer, people with
money to invest are doing their own
investing, and more and more per-
sons are doing business through
large corporations

AMERICAN SLAIN
In SONORA, SAYS
MEXICAN REPORT

NOGALES, April Z. P-Reports re-

Sonora, Mexico relative to the sup
posed murder of Fred Combs, 32,
American mining man of La Dura,
Sonora, state that Immediately upon
official reports of the finding 70
Combs body being filed with the
American consulate at Guaymas, Gen
eral francisco r. Manzo, military
commandant at Ortiz, ordered an in
vestigation of the alleged crime,
which occurred eight miles east of
Esperanza last Saturday.
Efforts to establish the residence
of Combs in the United States failed
both at the United States immigration
offices here and at the American
consulate in Nogales, Sonora, where
records failed to give his name.
Records at the Mexican immi grafton
office, however, showed that Fred
Combs passed through Nogales en-
route to Mexico on March 10, 1925,
giving his home as Nogales, Arizona.
A communication received from
John Oats, manager of the La Dura
mines, with which Combs was con-
nected, failed to reveal his American
residence. The American consulate. in
Nogaleh Sonora, has not yet been
notified of Combs death, which is
unofficially reported to have been
perpetrated with robbery the motive,
as his clothing had been gone through
and his automobile ransacked. A
Chinese cook who was travelling with
him was also slain. Reports from
Guaymas indicated the crime was.
