POLICE TAKE
BOLD GANG OF
SUPER CROOKS

SAN FRANCISCO, June 10. W.R)
The amazing trail of three alleged
"super-crooks, who piled Pacific
coast cities from San Diego to Van
couver, was at an end here today,
with the seizure of their luxuriously
appointed yacht, thousands Of dol
lars in currency and gold, and an
arsenal of death dealing weapons.
According to detectives who took
the trio, two youths and young
girl, dressed in the height of fash
ion into custody late last night, one
of the men admitted the Berkeley
bank holdup last Friday in which
loot of $4,000 was obtained.
The men, Lloyd Sampsel, alias l..
V. Summers, son of the proprietor OF
popular Los Angeles restaurant,
and Ethan A. McNab, are said by
police to be eX-convicts. The girl
said she was Lydia Summers and
had married "Summers' Is months
ago.
A tip from Seattle police that
Sampsel had shipped an automobile
of expensive make to this city, under
the name "Summers led to the ar
rest at the apartment occupied by
the trio.
The yacht, The Sovereign, was
seized in the San Francisco yacht
harbor. Police said the three used
the boat to travel from one coast
city to another.
AT the apartment detectives found
weapons of all descriptions, more
than $4,000 in currency and gold and
papers from the Berkeley bank.
NJ. A. Faust, manager of the
Berkeley branch of the Bank of
America, identified Sampsel from a
photograph, as the bandit who held
up that institution and escaped with
$4,000. Following the Identified.
ton by Faust a warrant was sworn
out for Sampsel.
According to word received here
from Vancouver, Sampsel is wanted
in the northern city as the so-called
| phantom bandit'' - who terroriZed
residents there for several weeks.
Police said Sampsel is wanted IN
Los Angeles also in connection with
! two bank robberies there. Police
! records revealed that he was con
victed of the holdup of western
! state bank official in 1922, and sub
sequently paroled.
McNab; said to be the forme
| chauffeur for Grace Darmond, film
actress, also has criminal record
according to police.

night Governor Young will reach the
end of the constitutional so day
period in which he may sign bills
enacted by the 1929 Legislature.
Indications today were that Cali.

clude the proposed state publica
tion of supplementary school text

riage licenses; compensation for
convicts; permitting any person
studying law three years to take
state bar examination; Santa Mon
lea harbor bill and the meat inspec.

AS SLAYER OF
MYRTLE WOOD

Laguna Beach Saturday, came to her
death by bullet wound in the left

realty broker. according to the YER

ceedings against the man.
Mcclure was found seriously
wounded near Tijuana last Saturday
night by Mexican officials. He was
returned here and placed in Orange
county hospital, where he reiterated
his claim that he and Mrs. Wood
had been driving near Laguna Beach
Thursday when they were held up
and he was kidnapped and shot by
two bandits. He said he knew moth
ing of her death.
Three bullets were removed from
Mcclure s body similar to the one
taken from Mrs. Woods head, po-
lice reported. A friend told inves'
tigators that he had seen Mcclure
at his home in Long Beach several
hours after the murder took place
and that he was in good physical
condition at the time.

Problem of Arms Reduc.

Speeches.

LONDON, June 10. W.p)- Grea
Britain faced the naval arms reduc
ton problem with new determine
tion today, bolstered by the assur
ances of the qualified representa-
tives of the two leading naval pow
ers that they proposed to tackle the
matter in concrete way.
United States Ambassador Char
les G.. Dawes utilized his speech be
fore the Pilgrims Society here last
night as the time for declaring the
principles which should govern flu
ture disarmament discussions. Hu
man nature, and not the doctrines
of naval experts, should govern
those negotiations, he said.
Simultaneously Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald told the town
council of Lossiemouth, Scotland
that Great Britain and the United
States wished the entire world to
Join them in working for interna'
tional peace, and that neither gov
ernment had any intention of offer,
ing a flat and final proposition to
others.
owe did not meet to threaten
other nations or to dominate other
peoples, nor indeed did we meet to
form alliances or pacts,' MacDon'
aid said, referring to his converse
ton with Dawes at Forrest, scot
land, last Sunday.
Dawes, in his first public utter
ance as ambassador, went to elabo-
rate pains to explain why naval OK
perts should be left out of future
conferences of naval reductions and
WHY statesmen should take the mi.
tiative in such moves. The naval
man, he said, is trained rightfully
to make his country secure against
attack and, other things being
equal, anything less than superior
navy is abhorrent to him.
