Frank Sklar filed his demurrer
against the Indictment of the grand
jury, charging that the grand jury
had no legal authority 70 inquire in
to the offense or offenses charged
by reason of it and his not being
within the legal jurisdiction of the
county; that the three counts do not
contain in substance statement
that the accused has committed any
public offense, and that the facts
stated in the counts do not consti-
tute public offenses. 1t is further
stated that the first count charges
more than one offense, % in fact,
while the second contains ; distinct
offenses. 1t is also alleged that the
indictment, i'll the ; counts, deprives
the defendant, he being person
within the state of California, of
due process of law, in that the ma
ture of the charge against him can
not be aseertained from thesc
counts of the Indictment and that
therefore the Indictment is contrary
to the l4th amendment of the con.
stitution of the United States.

Doings About
Court House

A complaint was filed by d. U.
Young against the Pure lee com
pany in which it is alleged that on
November l, 1929, plaintiff and de-
fendant entered into a contract
whereby the plaintiff agreed to
haul, and the defendant to deliver
to plaintiff for hauling, all of the
ice of defendant used and sold by
the defendant during the lettuce
season of 1929-30. Payments were
to be mae ON weekly basis. The
plaintiff entered into this contract
and equipped himself for handling
this ice, but in January 1880, the
defendant without cause violated
the agreement and refused to permit
the plaintiff to carry out the terms
of the agreement. BY reason of this,
the plaintiff has been damaged in
the sum of $4,000. This amount is
asked together with costs of the
suit.

T HALTS
|. NAVY YARD
ADVANCE
BY GARRETT WATERS

Dear, dear, there's no telling
what going to be done with the
Interstate Nine. Of the Govern
ment League. Yesterday, in keep
ing with it's in-and-out season, It
lost to the Naval Hospital. and,
folks. lost to the terrible tune OF
16 to 3.
Before the fracas the Inter
staters had the grandest chance
ever of halting the Cob ToSsers,
but did they do it? The score
tells the tale.
The Navy Yard toSsers, idle yes
terday, but very interested in the
outcome, would have treated the
Interstaters to dinner. drinks or
what have you, had they defeated
Naval Hospital yesterday even
tide. They are in second place,
you see, not toOt far behind the
Gobs. who lead: in fact. right in
the thick of the fight for the sec
ond half pennant.
They held the top rung for
. wee stretch by virtue Of .
gallant winning streak in last
weeks games, and, Of course,
Naval Hospitals loss to g. Pc
o. But they lost the lead
Wednesday when the Union
Printers bObbed up with .
7-tO-2 victory.
And, now, Interstate loses to
the despiSed Gobs just at time
when a COB loss would have
helped matters very much. Curses
on the InterStaterS They're a
bunch of old meanies, that's all.
Naval Hospital? Why. they
are the leaders again IN the
race. Yes, they've had things
their own way most of the sea
son, until Navy Yards threat
these days Of late. Yesterdays
victory just had to be. according
TO them. They got back into the
lead wednesday. when the Union
Printers defeated Navy Yard.
and yesterday was q case OF
either staying on top or falling
back in second place again. They
won, as is apparent by now, and
look to stay in the lead, although
the postponed games on schedule,
| two of which are with Navy Yard,
| might have something to do
with their final standing.
That the gobS meant to win
yesterday was brought out at the
outset, in that their play was Of
the former high standard IN pep
and form.
Mr.. Peter Ingram was on
the mound and he was in
fine fettIe, all of which in
spired the remainder OF the
GObs. Mr.. Osti, MIR. Tate.
Mr.. Shuster and Mr.. Roberts
hit savagely as did all the
rest of the crew, although
the four esteemed gentlemen
mentioned above hit more
ferOciouSly.
Interstate's next game Is with
the Union Printers. Monday. It
will no doubt register, in keeping
with its win today and lose to-
morrow record so far in the
schedule for the season.
Calvary Baptist took toe
hold on its lead in the George
town Church League by defeat
ing West Washington, nearest
rival, 4 to 3, in an interesting
setto. Ball outpitched Bean in a
real mound duel, Taylor's triple
in the eighth with two on base,
turning the tide towards victory
for Calvary.
Agriculture won the second-half
title in the Colored Departmental
League when it defeated Postof.

FOR VINES
BY MICHAEL J. FOSTER

SEA BRIGHT, N. j., Aug. a.
California didn't do so well yes

Of the Sea Bright Clubs invita-.
tion tournament, but this after
noon, when the final round Of
the women's singles is contested,
a Golden State representative is
certain to be crowned champion.

fifth ranking player of the coun-
try, halls from San Francisco.
Miss Cruickshank, No. 10 in the
national ranking, lives in Los
Angeles.
In the natural order Of things,
Mrs. Harper should come through
to write her name alongside that
of Helen Jacobs. the 1929 winner.
on the historic Sea Bright bowl.
She tops Miss CruickShank five
places in the national ranking.
She is the more experienced
player.
But form has been 50
erratic this week in the wO-
mems competition and Miss
CruickShank has turned In
such impressive victories on
her way to the last round
that the pretty Los Angeles
girl is being quoted at even
money in the odds.
In the mems doubles final r.
Norris Williams, End, and Gil
Hall, two veterans, will clash with
another pickup team. Sidney B.
Wood, jr., singles winner, and
Frank Shields.
Wood and Shields are favored
to win.
While all this will be going
on Ellsworth Vines, jr.. the Pasa.
dena sensation who was pretty
thoroughly squelched yesterday
in the mems finals by Wood,
losing at 6-2, Ga, 60, will be
resting in New York.
Vines is through with tennis
for a full week. He may do a
bit of practicing at Forest Hills
to keep in trim, but he will not
play at Southampton, as he had
originally intended.
He lost 10 pounds, during the
past week and a half and needs

MERCURY AIRPLANE
is NOW NAVY CRAFT
Williams Schneider Cup
Racer Reported Intended
for Experimentation.

Another chapter In the career of the
100000 Mercury racing plane, developed
jointly by Lieut.. Afford j. williams, jr.;
the Mercury Flying Corporation-a
group Of private citizens-and the Navy
Department, was written yesterday
when the Navy Department contracted
to purchase the racer from the private
company for 81 for experimental pur-
poses.
The transaction was merely a paper
transfer, according to Navy officials.
The plane now is in the Philadelphia
Naval Aircraft Factory, where 1t was
built. No announcement has been made
of the plans of the Navy Department
for putting the plane in flying con-
dition.
Development of this plane, which was
constructed in preparation for the
Schneider Trophy race, in England,
last year, resulted in the resignation of
Lieut.. Williams from the Navy early in
the Spring to continue racing plane de-
Velopment as a private citizen, and a
senatorial investigation of the resigna-
ton and of the Navy Departments at
t1tude toward speed plane development.
The Mercury corporation was created
in 1926 by a group of patriotic citizens
TO carry on racing plane development
when the Navy withdrew officially from
the Schneider competitions. Lieut.. Will
liams was assigned by the Navy to CO.
operate with the corporation in de-
veloping the plane, the Navy agreeing
to provide the motor through an ar
rangement with the Packard company.
The first Mercury racer was brought
out too late for the Schneider races
OF 1927, but was flown by Lieut.. Will
liams both as a landplane and a sea-
plane, setting unof1cial new American
speed records.
The plane then was rebuilt for last
years races, but proved to be over
weight when turned out by the Naval
Aircraft Factory and could not be
flown, despite weeks of effort by Lieut..
Williams last Summer at Annapolis,
Md. The Navy ordered Lieut.. williams
to sea duty over his request for more
time to work on the plane and his
resignation followed williams told the
Senate committee he is confident the
plane can be made to fly

force, for. while the park acreage has
been increasing by leaps and bounds,
the personnel of the police force has
remained almost stationary. It is
tentatively proposed to have an addi-
tional lieutenant in the near future to
have direct supervision over the men in
the field.
A prospective further expansion Of
the force is in sight with the compile
tion Of the Mount Vernon Memorial
Highway, which is scheduled to be fin-
ished in 1882. With this far-f1ung ter
ritory to be policed. it is planned to
equip the park police with radio sets
for better communication. after the
program now being carried forward
for the metropolitan police command.
Right now, to protect the parks
properly, the officials say that 1t would
be necessary to keep one officer on duty
in each of the areas for "a hours a
day. With the present limited force,
this is not now possible.
To economic the limited number Of
park police it is necessary during the
rush hours to employ buildings guards
to direct traffic in the vicinity of the
Navy and Munitions Buildings.
