CLUB .SWATS ROGERS

The Bohemian Club of San Francisco refuses to
play with Will Rogers, according to report, asserting
that the noted humoris took too much time when ne
appeared before the club months ago, thereby
preventing several other celebrities from making
speeches Will is also accused of commenting on the

Will Rogers talk for three hours than to hear the aver

Will usually has something to say, and says it

takers we think that the Bohemian club owes him
vote of thanks instead of snub
felow-well-met sort of aggregation Yet 1t asserts
that Will in his article, stressed a little too much on
the revelres of the club. Revelry is the particular
word that inspires objection. What does the club
think its name implies? Certainly not a quiet dlgn-
fled, stffnecked body of men, but bunch of fellows
who know how to whoop it up and Will do so with or
without provocatlon.
The club seems to be mighty thn-skinned 1t

his accustomed style and they happened to strike a

IS FACE EVICTION
FROM APARTMENT
Custer Proceedings Filed
Against Purchasers in
Cooperative Building.

Eighteen tenants who purchased stock
in The Parkway, a large five-story CO.
operative apartment building located at
the corner of Connecticut avenue and
Macomb street, are faced with eviction
from their residences in the structure
and loss Of sums paid towards the pur-
chase of the apartment suites, due to
failure of the building as a cooperative
project and its subsequent foreclosure
sale. @s>
Custer proceedings were filed against
tenants in Municipal Court November
1. and trials of individual cases will
be started November 13. The building,
formerly owned and promoted by the
Parkway Apartments Of Washington,
Inc, of which Arthur NJ. Suit was
president, was sold at auction July 2
to satisfy holders of second trust on
the building. Roy L. Neuhauser and
SOL Lansburgh were holders OF the
second trust, according to statement
made at the Office of the Real Estate
Mortgage & Guarantee Corporation,
holder of the first trust.
80 Apartments Sold.
The Parkway contains S3 apartment
suites, but 80 of which were sold. There
was a second trust of 100000 on the
building. according to information
placed in the hands Of the tenants at
torney, Gerald M. Johnson. This trust,
it was said, was given as collateral on
loan of about $49, 900 advanced on the
project, the loan being due March 2.
On the first trust of $4,000, it was
said, there were to be curtailmentS at
the rate of $4,000 annually.
Tenants in the building held several
meetings to lay plans for mobilizing
their forces to protect their interests
in the building Their position, how
ever, was regarded as somewhat pre-
carious inasmuch as they bought stock
in the building subject to the first and
second trusts, the holders Of which,
in law, have prior rights in the prof.
ect. If the purchaser Of the building
under the second trust declined TO
credit them with payments thus far
made, it was pointed out, they faced
eviction proceedings, and the matter
thus probably would be left to the
court to determine.
After the first auction sale was ad-
vertised, tenants say, they were unable
to get in touch with Mr.. Suit and dis
covered that their telephone service had
been cut off for non-payment OF $500
telephone bill. There also arose bills for
the janitor and elevator boy and other
services, which the tenants since have
been paying voluntarily.

brandy by private individuals was pro-
hibited.

In order to prevent repeating, every
voter will be marked on the hand with

Details of the method to be used have
been withheld by the election board

dent, and Julio Cardenal, for vice presi-
dent; Liberal. Gen. Jose Maria Monca-
da Of Managua, for President and

Liberal revolution in 1926-27. He is
Sc and for many years has conducted
newspapers in Rivas. Granada and
Managua. Senior Aguada Is q lawyer
of Managua.
The total registration was estimated
at 150,525, which is about 10000 greater
than the registration for the election
of 1924. Members of the American
Electoral Mission believe that virtually

more than 13, If married, or if they
can read and write, are also eligible
Americans will count the votes and
the Nicaraguan constabulary, under
American officers, will protect the
