 Weisman testified today that he thought himself president of the firm. but Wolk insisted that he was elected president at a meeting. Incidentally Weisman did not at- tend or did not remember attend ing this important meeting of stockholders and directors. For four months he was happy in the contemplation that he was presi- dent of the big corporation.
 About July 1st. Weisman learned that he had been laboring under a misapprehension. He wasn't president, but treasurer. All posi- tions looked the same to him. On July 1st he took $48 out of the cash register and on July End, he took $148. His partner, Sam, in- structed him to deposit the money in their bank. It developed that Weisman had something else in mind. He decided that the con- cern should pay few bills that he believed were due. Without the consent of the president of the concern, Wolk. he paid his broth er-ln-law $1b for a paint job. com pensated himself for lumber used in erecting a partition, paid some insurance and in his opinion did splendid work as treasurer.
 A day after the partners had a dispute over the treasurer's &C., tions, a petition for the appoint ment of receiver was filed. At- torney Walter Lynch is receiver. It was claimed that as a result of Weisman's actions the company went bankrupt.
 As Weisman admitted that he took the money before the appli- cation was filed. probable cause was found and he was ordered held for superior court.
 Constance Grigulis, 40. of 70 West Porter street accused of stealing two bank books from a boarder, had her case nolled.

Hollywood, July 14- (UP)- Clara Bows hair is not red. It Is "chestnut-auburn."
 After eight years of experiment tation with all manner of dyes. from "a hideous black" to bright henna, Clara put on private ex- hibition to-day with her locks ra- diating under their own power, so to speak, and discovered, to her own surprise, their truthful tints.
 In the revealing sun, it turned out that her hair Is auburn, with just enough red pigment in 1t to give the same effect as g. chestnut mane.
 I'm a bit surprised with 1t, my self," Clara said. You see, I'd really forgotten what 1t looked like. As remembered 1t was a bit lighter than 1t is now.
 T started dying 1t when it was about IS years old. and trying to break into pictures. Ever since that its been some color or other until I started resting after my last illness. I've been letting it come in natural since then"
 Clara said she first dyed in Q "hideous black"
 Later, when I came to Holly wood, it was red and kept it some shade of red almost continu- ously while I was under contract

The Hartford policeman drew his gun and blackjack and threatened the local youths when they are said to have Crowded him" against his car. O'Connor appeared in court yesterday with a decorated eye.
 An unusual feature of the case was the insistence of Murray that he was the driver and not Hurley. Three policemen claimed that they heard Murray remark that he was not going to take any Iran" Tor Hurley, but today he testified that he was the operator. As O'Con- nor had stated yesterday that Mur- ray was the only one of the crowd sober and did not attack him, the court discharged him.

BEARS ARE WARNED

New York, July 14.-UP)- Bears. according to unconfrmed reports to-day, have been warned by big bankers and the stock ex- change 10 refrain from making raids against stock exchange is- sues.
 Action of he stock market prices. however, gave evidence of complete absence of the profess SiOnal bcarish element. Prices moved down slowly without partic- ular pressure against any issue. Trading was barely at the rate of 100000 shares for full session, or back to levels of 1926 when the Coolidge bull market was getting under way.
 The move to prevent bear raids at this time if actually taken, is considered timely. President Hoover last Friday advised opera tors in the grain pit, against short selling maneuVers. The president asked on patriotic grounds that the professional bears who sell grains short only for profit and not for hedging purposes refrain from raiding tactics.
