DIFFERENCES AIRED AMONG
coLoRED C. o. p


At a recent meeting of the Color
ed Women's Political club of Ia
coma, repudiated the impression Civ
en- to the public by Art Cabell and
J. A. G. Washington, that they are
the political leaders of the Negro vo-
tiers of Tacoma.
Fred u. Harris, secretary of the
Colored Women's Political club, was
informed of the dissatisfaction re-
lative to his activities in the Pierce
County Civic and Political club, be-
ing organized by Mr.. Cabell and
Mr.. Washington. He then made the
statement which he wanted each
one to know. His motto was peace,
that he would not do anything that
would reflect upon the standing of
the club, that he has enjoyed work
ing with it for the past two years.
that his activities in the community
have been heretofore and will always
be from spirit of love and endeav-
oring to do his bit in promoting
something for the uplift of his race,
that at the time he offered his serv-
ices to Art Cabell and j. A. G. Wash
ington, in assisting them in the or
ganization of club, he was under
the impression, that in no way would
it conflict with other clubs already
organized, but would aid and assist
in putting over anything sponsored
by the clubs for the betterment of
our race, that owing to the fact that
there is antagonism between the two
clubs, he declares that his activities
with the Pierce County Civic and Po-
litical league will immediately cease,
and he takes this manner in per-
uniting same to be printed, so as to
not be a traitor to either club.

MONEY TROUBLES
HINTED CAUSE OF
EACAN'S PLIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, May 5. U.P)-
Disclosures that Frank j. Egan, pub
lie defender, had suffered heavy fl
nancial losses recently, were made
by police today as they considered
starting a nationwide search for
the official, missing three days un-
der mysterious circumstances.
From court records and other
sources police gained information of
Egan's financial activities after
they had been refused access to
private papers by his grief-stricken
wife, Mrs. Lorraine Kip Egan.
A witness who saw Egan after he
was supposed to have disappeared
was r. j. Fraser, hotel clerk He
told police today he watched the
official, apparently in an agitated
frame of mind, walking along a
downtown street. He was talking
excitedly to man companion,
Fraser said.
Although Egan originally was
sought in connection with the vio-
lent death of Mrs. Jessie Scott
HUGHES, Do, ClOSt llltllu dllu DSllC-
factor of the official, police said
today he had been definitely cleared
in the case and that their only OBJ
ject now was to find him, dead or
alive.
The quest has been in progress
since Monday night, when Police
Capt. Charles Dullea received a
frantic telephone call from Egan
saying, "These men have got me
but I swear I'm innocent"
Friends revealed Egan had lost
heavily on several stock issues he
owned, and court records showed
foreclosure suit was filed by a
local bank March 7 based on a
$4,000 note he save in 1927 with his
luxurious home as security. Off
GERS said they did not believe his
financial reverses were entirely re-
sponsible for Egan's disappearance
but might be in some way connect
ed with 1t.

MEANS ARRESTED
FOR SWINDLE In
LINDBERGH CASE
Former Government OPP
erative Accuse By
Woman

WASHINGTON, May 5.-U.P)-
Castor B. Means, former secret
service investigator who gained
much notoriety during the admin
istration of President Harding, was
arrested by District of Columbia
authorities today
He was charged with taking
100000 from Mrs. Edward B. Nc
Lean on a representation that he
knew the whereabouts of the kid
naped son of Col. and Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh.
Mrs. Mclean is the wife of Ed
ward B. Mclean, publisher, of
Washington and Cincinnati.
The warrant for Means arrest
was sworn out yesterday before
U. S. Commissioner N. c. Turnage.
1t charges larceny after trust" of
100000. 1t was served on Means
this afternoon by Department of
Justice agents under instructions
from j. Edgar Hoover, director of
the bureau of investigation.
Authorities said that Means, who
has been living in a fashionable
Washington suburb recently ap-
preached Mrs. Mclean within two
weeks after the Lindbergh kidnap-
ing and told her ne was in contact
with the kidnapers.
Mrs. Mclean was described by
Department of Justice officials as
saying that Means then pleaded
with her to give him 100000 that
he might pay the ransom and re-
turn the child to its parents.
Mrs. Mclean said that after
hearing Means make pleas, she
gave him the 100000 in cash. She
then awaited to hear of the re-
turn of the child When the child
was not returned she is said to have
asked return of the money by
Means or proof that the child
would be recovered. Neither was
Forthcoming and Mrs. Mclean con-
suited the Department of Justice.
Means arrest followed.
Means will be taken before a
United States commissioner prob
ably later today. Officials said they

SLASH In WAGES
ORDERED MADE BY
CITY COUNCILMAN
Economy In Municipal
Government Gets Start
By Boards Action.

In line with the strict economy
program expected of FL Centro's
new city council when it's members
took office recently, that body last
night adopted a resolution slashing
the salaries of all city employees
approximately 18 per cent, or cut
ting approximately $4,000 a year
from the city payroll.
The resolution was drawn and
adopted after considerable discus
sion by members of the council, all
of whom were present at the meet
ing last night. The cut will effect
all city departments, with the per-
centage basis slashing the larger
salaries TO a greater extent.
Other business taken up by the
council gave its members a busy
evening.
Dorsey Whitelaw, city attorney,
reported that he will be in Los An
geles next week, and will take up
with the railroad commission and
the Southern Pacific railroad the
question of how much work must
be done in improvement of State
street to obtain an extension of
time on the permit for the State
street crossing.
A letter from the Holtville city
council, accompanied by a resolu-
ton endorsing the Imperial Irriga-
ton district board of directors, was
presented. The letter requested that
the El Centro council cooperate
with Holtville and the district in
this matter. Mayor John Rice ap-
pointed Fred Gianola, A. N. Buck
lin and H. w. Fawcett, as a COM
mittee to consider the matter.
Would Limit Pool Halls
An ordinance limiting the num-
ber Of pool halls in one block to
one on Main street and two in
other business sections, except
where they are already established,
was adopted.
Edward B. Patterson appeared in
the interest of a San Diego business
woman to apply for a permit to
operate a pool hall at 618 main
street, and was advised of the ord
nance.
Appointments of Marian Green
and c. M. Keating as city patrol
men were approved.
DR.. Warren F. Fox, city and
county public health officer, sub
mitted his quarterly report. He
also took up the question of rabies,
recommending that the city employ
the dog catcher full time for pc
riods of week at various times,
instead of part time every day, as
is done at present. BY such an ar
rangement the dog catcher could,
during the periods of his employ
ment, devote his full time to the
task of catching stray dogs and
holding for observation those sus-
pected of rabies.
Other routine business was dis
cussed.
