POOR AID BONDS
TO Be RESOLD
Shearer's Refusal to Sign
Costs County 81, 300.

Because John E. Shearer, minor
ity county commissioner, refused to
sign a $380,000 bond issue to pay
poor relief bills, a resale of bonds
that will cost the county an addi-
tional $1,000 in interest rates and
premiums today became necessary.
Two banks which at first had
bought the bonds, sold to pay poor
relief grocery bills for December,
January and February, would not
accept them without Shearef's sig
nature.
Majority faction members Of the
board of commissioners have au-
thorized County Auditor Harry Dunn
to sell the bonds to the Fletcher
Trust Company, second low bidder.
Interest rate Of the low bidder was
3.75, without premiums, while the
Fletcher rate is 4 per cent interest
with a $500 premium.

CLARA BOW TO

EDITORS TRIAL
Editor Will Not Be Allowed
to Call Actress in
'Obscenity' Case.

BIZ United Press
LOS ANGELES, April 24.-Fred-
eric H. Girnau, publisher Of a week.
ly tabloid newspaper, will not be
allowed to call Clara Bow as de-
Tense witness when he goes on trial
on charges Of sending obscene mat
ter through the mails, federal
authorities said today.
Girnau, who printed a series Of
articles on The Love Life of Clara
Bow" in his periodical, the Coast
Reporter" claimed that the highly
sensational articles were privileged
and printed without malice.
Filing Of further misdemeanor
charges against the publisher would
give him the opportunity to call
Miss Bow into court for "a further
attempt to besmirch her character, :"
United States Attorney Samuel W..
McNabb declared, and city and
county officers agreed to withhold
further anticipated charges.
McNabb said the federal law COW
ering distribution of obscene matter
through the mails concerned itself
only with the question Of obscenity,
and not with the question Of SUBJ
sanitation of the attack or malice.
Daisy De Voc, who was convicted
Of stealing 1925 from Miss Bow, was
named by Girnau as having sup
piled him with information for the
articles. She denied emphatically
she gave him the material.
Girnau probably will be arraigned
before Federal Judge George Co.'S
grave, Monday. He was still in
jail today, unable to provide $4,000
bond.
