Young Woman Was Rented to
Wealthy Man, Police Learn;
Second Victim Is Sought

LOS ANGELES, March 10
ON.S0.-As the investigation Of
Hollywood's so-called "girl bazaar"
progressed today, the district at
torney's office indicated that an
important arrest would be made
soon.
The man whose arrest lOOmed
was described as nationally
known millionaire, who was said
to have been a patron Of the mart
which Olive Clark Day admitted
she had a part in operating.
Disclosures of a 16-year-old girl
resulted in suspicion being dl-
rected toward the millionaire, it
was stated. She is now held in
technical custody of Chief 1nVeS-
tigator Blayney F. Matthews, Of
the district attorneys staff.
Says Girl Was Sold
Miss Day, now at liberty under
5000 bail, is reported to have
told the district attorney that the
girl had been "sold" to the mil
lionaire at San Diego.
Because the alleged attack on
the girl took place in San Diego
county, the complaint against the
millionaire will be issued there.
The millionaire was said to
have made negotiations for the
girl through a middle man, named
by Miss Day as one of her most
profitable patrons" Miss Day is
reported to have taken the girl
to San Diego. A second girl who
was said to have been taken
there at the same time has not
yet been located.
Other Men Named
The girl in custody of Matthews
Is reported as revealing that the
millionaire posed under an
assumed name. She is said to
have identified him from a photo
graph.
Il was also intimated that other
men; many of them prominent,
may be implicated in the case
before the investigation Of the
girl mart is closed.
Miss Day, according to her con-
fessiofl, admitted supplying many
girls for parties in San Diego
attended by wealthy men.
Shortly after Miss Day was re-
leased from the county Jail on
bail she disapl cared. She was To-
Gated later by members Of the
district attorneys office, and is
now believed to be in hiding.
AS the result of the investiga-
tion, two other arrests have been
made. william HI. JObelmann,
former press agent, and John p.
Mills, wealthy broker, along with
Miss Day, are charged with Statu-
tory attack upon Clarice Tauber.
is.
Officers are investigating a re-
port that Jobelmann operated a
movie casting office as means OF
finding prospective victims for the
wealthy patrons of the Love
Bazaar"
Meanwhile, District Attorney
Buron Fits announced that he
would not bring in for question
ing any of the 40 men named
by Miss Day in her diary unless
he finds corroborative evidence.

Fourth Lily Show
June 9th and 26th

The Vashon Island Lily Club Is at
work on final plans for Its fourth
Island lily show TO be held at the Is
land Club, June 81 and 20.
The value Of the publicity the island
has received from the lily shows OF
former years can hardly be estimated.
Visitors from all parts Of the U. s..
came to the Island. Many were tour
lists visiting Seattle, and knew OF the
Island In no other way than through
the stories Of these unique shows In
the city dailics. Flower shows have
been held for many years, but 1t is
only Of late years that any locality has
grown lilies in sufficient quantities to
devote an entire show TO them. Many
who came to the lily show the first
day, out Of curiosity, returned to the
Island again to visit the fields, and see
the beauty Of the lilies blooming out
Of doors.
Other flowers will be displayed IN
addition to the large variety Of lilies
grown In commercial gardens and in
dividual flower gardens.
In the News Record Of June 10, will
appear list Of trophies and donors;
rules and lists Of classifications.

Fancy Hot-House Grapes
Feature Trading OnRow

The following story appeared In
Mondays issue of the Northwest Daily
Produce News:
W. v, Covey, who operates a hot-
house over on vashon Island, is cer-
tainly way ahead Of the season, and
shows what can be done despite the
date, or time Of the year. The street
received real surprise last Saturday
when Mr.. Convey shipped In couple
Of crates Of regular "hand-painted"
grapes, grown In his hot-house at
Vashon.
The fruit was handled by Crenshaw
g. Bloxorn, and sold on arrival at 40c
per pound with buyers bowling for
more.
According to word from Mr.. Convey,
the crop will be marketed In numer-
GUS small shipments, and from the
manner in which the initial delivery
was cleaned up, there is no doubt but
what Mr.. Convey will market the en-
tire crop at a very handsome figure.

CAR ACCIDENTS ARE NUMEROUS

Several automobile accidents have
occurred the past week, none of which
have caused any fatalities, but the
cars involved, in two cases were con-
siderably wrecked.
While driving to the Tacoma ferry
last Saturday, near Capt. Phillips
home, Gordon Eberle and Howard
Mattson, In a Ford coupe, were struck,
and the car very badly damaged al
though the boys escaped with minor
cuts and bruises. The driver of the
other car, newcomer, by the name
Of Lee, was coming from sideroad,
onto the highway at high rate of
speed, and in making wide turn
failed to see the approaching coupe,
and struck it full force. A log at the
side of the road made it impossible
for the driver Of the Ford to turn out
although he saw the oncoming car,
and could have avoided being struck
had there been more space.
On Sunday Russell Middling was
badly shaken up, but otherwise unin-
jured when the car he was driving
turned over just south of Center
Part of bushing in the steering gear
had worked loose, and the steering
wheel locked, causing the car to leave
the road when 1t struck loose soil.
Bob Harmeling had rather more
than his share Of hard luck, when
after putting his own car out of COM
mission on Saturday, he overturned
Sunday morning at the bottom of the
Cedarhurst hill In his fathers WHY'S
knight. In his case, like the others,
the car was the recipient of the great
est damage. 2,
The condition of the Cove road has
resulted in a number of cars being
stuck, but aside from the damage to
tempers and dispositions nothing
tragic has yet occurred there. The
greatest Inconvenience is caused to

Spray Now For
Cherry Fruit Fly

The first spray for the Cherry Fruit
Fly should be applied at once. Sue
cessive bulletins will be issued regard
ing the next spray.
Wormy cherries have been source
of annoyance and loss, both to the
grower and consumer Of sour and
sweet cherries for number Of years.
The cherry fruit fly, which is the
adult of the cherry maggot, is becom-
ing more prevalent In cherry growing
districts each year. It is past timpa
that control measures were instituted
to combat the persistent inroads that
this pest has made
The life history of the Cherry Fruit
Fly is very simple. It winters over in
a pupal stage, which is small oval
body resembling somewhat a grain OF
wheat in appearance. From this
winter puparium the pupa changes to
q fly form usually about the first Of
June, although different climatic con-
ditions make different emergence
dates. The fly then feeds about in
the warm sunshine before the egg lay
ing commences for week or ten days.
The eggs are inserted beneath the skin
of the fruit, which, after a few days,
hatch and the tiny white maggot be-
gins to eat its way through the flesh
of the cherry. After two or three weeks
the larvae natures and drops to the
ground, there to begin It's life cycle
again.
Considering the enormous crop Of
sour and sweet cherries that is pro-
duced In this section every year, and
considering what the tonnage will be
in the near future, 1t should not be
necessary to attempt to convey the
idea of the enormous loss that we will
eventually experience through the
ravages of this destructive pest. With
this view in mind, the State Depart
ment of Agriculture is attempting to
do everything possible in serving the
grower that he may enjoy success in
the growing of sour and sweet cherries.
We hope that we will not find it
necessary to have to use stringent
measures on any grower who fails to
see the light and not only spells dis
aster for himself but is selfish enough
that his neighbor stands loss
through his neglect. ] believe that 1t
is q known fact among the growers
that the Federal Pure Food Depart
ment will not tolerate any canned or
barreled product in which larvae OF
this pest is found. Upon inspection OF
any harvested fruit wherein larvae is
found, 1t will mean that such fruit
will be condemned for fresh or can
merry purposes.
Il Control.
1t is during the period between the
mergence Of the fly and the egg lay
ing that control measures are effec-
tive.
The control of the cherry fruit fly
is very simple and does not require Q
great deal of financial or equipment
expenditure. The usual recommended
tions are to spray as soon as the II,
