DOCTOR NEARLY
COMPLETES OWN
TONSIL REMOVAL

PHILADELPHIA, June II. U.p,
DIR. Charles T. Meacham, 25-year-
old inferno at Chestnut Hill hos
pital, nearly accomplished another
marvel of surgery when he attempt
ed to remove his own tonSilS, fellow
internes revealed today.
DR.. Meacham attempted the feat
with mirrors and nearly succeeded
in an operation never yet achieved,
it was said. With a thin -bladed
tonsilectomy instrument, he snip
ped off the left tonsil without diff
Guilty.
But the mirrors and the neces-
Sity for manipulating the instru-
ment with his left hand confused
DR.. Meacham on the right tonsil,
and loss of blood forced him to give
up the remainder of the operation.
A fellow surgeon completed the job.
DR.. Meacham used a local anes-
thetic. He rigged up his mirrors
so that they cast light beam down
his throat. He practiced with a
dummy" instrument for three
weeks before attempting the actual
operation.

At PIT. ArguellO

SAN FRANCISCO, June II. UP)
The wreck of a small sloop was
held by the rocky shoals of Point
Arguello today while the owners, a
Hollywood man and wife, were be-
ing taken to San Pedro after a
night rescue in stormy seas.
The latest marine accident at
Point Arguello, graveyard of the
Pacific" where a fortnight ago the
Lassco liner Harvard ran aground
with 500 passengers and wa S
wrecked, was told in radio messages
intercepted here from the inter-
costal lumber steamer Elean o +
Christensen.
The two aboard the sloop Mon
soon" were Mr.. and Mrs. A. j.
Hendley of Hollywood. They were
caught Monday night in a squall
that buffeted their craft for "a
hours. Finally the little boat gave
up the battle with the waves and
last night, near where the Harvard
grounded, it began sinking rapid
ly.
Captain Warner of the Eleanor
Christensen said Mr.. and Mrs.
Hendley's signals were sighted and
they were rescued just before the

OF CLEVER FAKE

LOS ANGELES, June II. U.P)-
Police today searched for R. S.
Moore, credited with founding the
"Safeway Bonded Parking Service
Ltd" on numerous alleged offenses
including .an employment scheme in
which so joblesS men were said to
have been victimized.
The Ambassador hotel wants

STIMSON-SOVIET
NOTES THOUGHT
TO BE RELATED

WASHINGTON, June IT. U.P) -
The coincidence of Secretary of
State Stimson's appeal for full pub
licity on ornaments and reports
that Soviet Russia submitted its
arms report to the League of Ma
tions under a ban of temporary Sc
crecy, has led observers here to
doubt that the two episodes are en-
tirely unrelated.
During the long series of prepara-
tory conferences on disarmament in
Geneva the United States has stood
for full publicity or armaments
However, when the Russian arms
report was submitted to the League
recently, in response TO a councn
resolution, Russia specified that this
data was not to be shown other
governments in advance of the dis
armament conference next Febru-
ary.
Very soon after this action, Stirp =
son, rather significantly, many OBJ
servers here believe, wrote note
to the league secretariat, accom-
panying the United States arma-
ment report, asking not only that
the data be made available to 9TH
er governments but expressing the
hope this would serve as a good
example to them.

Governor Signs
Newspaper Bill

SACRAMENTO Cal, June IT.
U.P)-Closing a four year fight
waged by the California Newspaper
Publishers association, the newspa-
per libel bill by Senator Will R.
Sharkey, Martinez, was signed by
Governor Rolph last night.
The measure, S. B. 447, permits a
newspaper to publish a retraction
in case libelous matter is published
through error or misinformation.
In case the correction is published
in the same size type and given the
same prominence as the article held
libelous, the plaintiff could recover
only actual damages.
The "newsboy" bill, also intro
duced by Sharkey, which makes it
unnecessary for newspapers to car
ny workmen's compensation insur-
ance for carrier boys, was also
signed by the governor. The mea-
sure, however, does not affect news
boys on the regular payroll of the
paper.
Other bills signed by the governor
included the following:
A. B. 1850. Wright, appropriating
$4,000 for new state armory at San
Jose.

Citeu TTeSS Sta1I correspondent
CHICAGO, June II. U.P)-"Scar-
| face Az Capone is as good as in
prison, Chicago was convinced to-
day. and the strength of the city's
criminal gangs is broken forever.
Capone, his power shattered by
the relentless federal government,
was in hiding, repeatedly making
plans under which his industries"
in liquor, gambling and vice may
be carried on while he is in prison.
Chicago was determined, however,
that lawlessness shall cease.
The corpulent gang leaders plea
OF guilty to indictments charging
income tax fraud and conspiracy to
violate the prohibition laws was
hailed by law enforcement agencies
as the greatest victory in the city
and nations campaign to break up
organized crime.
What federal attorneys promise

pone's vicious career will occur June
80 when he appears before Judge
James H. Wilkerson for sentence.
AT that time he will be meted
out a term of several years "at hard

at Leavenworth, Kansas. Within a
month-allowing for about two
weeks which he may be allowed to
straighten out his business and per-
sonal affairs-he will be on his way

CONTEMPT fine
UPON ATTORNEY

LOS ANGELES, June II. U.P)-
A fine of $25 for contempt of court
today was imposed on Mark Her.
ron, attorney, representing 20 de-
PENDANTS in the Romola, Inc, trial,
by Federal Judge John M. Killits.
The fine followed the closing OF
Herron's argument before the jury
during which the attorney had re-
ferred to the courts arguments"
on the case relative to the testimony
regarding w. B. Watkins, secretary
of the Phoenix, Arizona Chamber of
Commerce and one of the defend
ants.
Judge Killits stated that Herron's
closing address was filled with
"suave innuendo and concealed
contempt" and that the two counts
of contempt which the judge noted
in this instance were the accumu-
lated result of numerous breaches
on the part Of Heron throughout
the trial.
Paying the fine, Heron stated
that he in no way had Intentionally
been in contempt of the court but
that he had felt it his duty as an
attorney to protect his clients by
protecting the record.
The court responded that it
would take more than Mr.. Heron S
assurance to the contrary" to set
aside the opinion.
Watkins, while an original de-
fendant in the case, is not on trial
actively as he was permitted, with
several others, to enter a plea of
nolle contedere-a plea of neither
guilty nor not guilty.

TESTIMONY BANNED
Court Declares Evidence
Of Three Principals To
Be Disregarded.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, June II. U.P)-
The case OF Alexander 1'antages and
three others, accused of contribut-
ing and conspiracy to contribute to
the delinquency of Lydia Nitto. was
given TO the jury today in a legal
climax which was hailed as a
sweeping defense victory.
The climax was the instruction OF
Judge l.. NJ Turrentine for the jury
virtually to ignore the testimony of
the three chief state witnesses, Miss
Nitto, Helen Livingston and John p.
Mills, on the ground that as they
were accomplices to the alleged acts,
their testimony needed corrobora-
ton.
Jesse II. Shreve, broker, Olive
Clark Day and William Jobelmann
were jointly accused with Pantages
Of the alleged offenses following a
party here last October.
Pantages was charged with hav-
ing an improper act with the Nitto
girl; Shreve with having offered her
drinks anG with having paid 5000 TO
Mrs. Day to bring the girl to San
Diego for improper business, and
Jobelmann with driving the girl to
the city.
SAN DIEGO. June II. U.P)-Dep-
uty District Attorney Frank Dunn
was the closing speaker for the
state today in the trial of Alex
ander Pantages. William Jobelmann
Olive Clark Day and Jesse Shreve
on morals charges.
Judge L. NJ Turrentine will read
his final instructions to the jury
some time late today it was expect
ed. He told newspapermen that
there were 256 different verdictS
that could be returned because OF
the many combinations possible.
Dunn denied that District Attor-
ney Buron Fits Of Los Angeles
county had any connection with the
trial, as the defense had charged.
"All this talk about Fits is just
a smoke screen raised to obsctSe
the undeniable evidence brought
out in this trial" Dunn said.
He listed as "undeniable evidence
the following facts:
That the party was hela in FL
Cortez hotel October 30 last.
That Shreve paid Mrs. Day 5000
for bringing the girls from Holly
wood.
And that Mrs. Day and Jobel
mann had brought the girls to this
city.
Charges against these defend
ants were not instigated by Mr.
Fits, but by the management of
El Cortez hotel. which was put on
pins and needles by the wild party.
