ROMOLA VERDICT
NOT EXPECTED TO
BE REACHED SOON

LOS ANGELES, June 90. Up)-
The jury, which heard the trial OF
Alexander Hursh and 19 Others
charged with mail fraud in con-
nection with the operation of Ro-
mola, Inc, began its fourth day of
deliberation today in Federal Judge
John M. Killit's court.
Faced with $500 pages of testi-
mony, 1900 exhibits and the con-
sideration of numerous yerdictS, the
jury is not expected to render a
verdict for several days. When the
jurors began their deliberations last
Friday it was then indicated that
a week would elapse before a de-
cision was reached.
Making the task more difficult,
there are 90 counts against each of
the 20 defendants. Some of the
jurors were reported to be i'll but a
report from the foreman said they
believed they could complete their
deliberations.
The trial, which took more than
three months to hear, resulted in
two changes being made in the jury
panel. Two members became sick
and had to be replaced. In one
case the juror died after being freed
from court duty.
The case emanates from activ-
tiles of Romola Inc, in developing
large sections of fruit land in Riv-
erside county and Arizona.

for it. Before he could reach them

Denies
Owing Taxes

LOS ANGELES, June %. DIP
Zane Grey, author and sportsman,
was charged today with owing the
government S1O3, ,9238 80 back income
tax.
Grey denied he owed the money,
claiming that a premarital agree
ment with his wife caused him to
divide equally with her all royalties
from his books.
The tax commissioners, however,
have attacked the validity of the
agreement. Grey's taxes, if paid on
his entire income, would be much
larger than if he shared his income
with his wife, it was pointed out.

summoned to appear before the
board of tax appeals upon their
return from voyage in the South
Sea.

Starr took her own life. However,
he would not say definitely that
the Greenwich village girl commit
ted suicide

many years younger, is tall man
of pleasing personality. He is a

MAYORS RETURN
FROM STRENUOUS
VISIT TO FRANCE
Mayor Porter Sole Mem
Der To Remain DRY"
During SOjOurn.
BY SIDNEY b. WHIPPLE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, June %. U.p)-Tired
and travel worn, and somewhat re-
sentful at public criticism of their
actions in France, 10 American
mayors arrived in New York aboard
the lie de France after one. of the
most strenuous junkets OF modern
times.
In the course of five weeks, these
mayors and their wives, represent
ing every quarter OF the United
States, have travelled 5000 miles,
eaten 66 formal dinners, listened TO
1913 speeches consuming, in all, "a
hours, and explored Ia French cities.
They have been toasted in every
thing from the oldest of port wines
to the dryest of champagnes, and
to most of them today, the question
of prohibition holds an academic
interest.
While the trip was marred on
several occasions by incidents that
may have arisen out of the fact that
their nerves were frayed by an ex-
cess OF hospitality. nevertheless they
consider the excursion success
from every standpoint
The mayors were men of widely
conflicting views, both politically
and socially, but they reached AM
erican soil without any serious di-
vision in their ranks, despite the
fact that upon occasions their tenn
pers flared and heated words were
exchanged.
The group left New York May Is
on the lie de France and returned
on the same ship.
OF the group only one mayor re-
manned a teetotaler throughout the
trip. He was Mayor Porter, Los
who declared at the out
set that the Constitution of the
United States would follow him
wherever he went.
Most of them, interviewed today,
expressed dissatisfaction with pro-
hibition.
II never saw the slightest drunk
enness in France" Mayor Bright
said Mayor Donnelly said that Il
am wet, always have been wet and
/ don't care who knows it,"
Mayor Key expressed great salts
faction with the trip and called the
French people magnificent hosts,
who did everything in their power
TO make us comfortable

Clara Phillips
Parole Refused

SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Cal,
June %. (U.P-Clara Phillips. tiger
woman" slayer of Alberta Meadows,
today faced prison term of 80
years by action of the state prison
board in denying her application
for parole.
Under the term fixed by the
board, the Los Angeles hammer
murderess cannot apply for another
parole until July 2, 1882, when half
of the 30 year sentence, minus
good behavior credits, will be
served.
The board studied a written doc
ument submitted by Mrs. Phillips
but did not divulge the contents.
In applying several months ago,
Mrs. Phillips pleaded for freedom
so that Il may return to my hus-
band, and if God wills, become a
mother and a good citizen
Mrs. Phillips killed Miss Meadows
believing her to be a rival for her
husbands affections.
BY a coincidence, Mrs. M. l. Bon
ME. 65, of San Joaquin county, also
convicted of murder, appeared with
Mrs. Phillips and was given the
same term-30 years. She had been
sentenced in 1923, as was Mrs
Phillips and will be able to seek
parole again at the same time next
year. Mrs. Bonnie was convicted
of numbering Mrs. Paul Hawkins of
Fresno.
The board did not reach the ap-
plication of Asa Keyes, former Los
Angeles distrist attorney serving
one to IA years on conviction OF
bribery conspiracy in the Julian oil
trials.
