DOCTOR GIVEN
8 YEARS FOR
3 ASSAULTS
Clayton Franey, CoIored, Pos
ed as Porto Rican in Racket
of Examining Girls

A colored man who posed
as a Porto Rican physician to-
day was sentenced to three
years in Jail by Acting Police
Court Judge Robert E. Mat
tingly, who found him guilty
of assaulting three young
white women on the pretense
of examining" them for a
position as matron of a school.
The man, Clayton Franey, who
has no fixed address, was &C
cused by Ella Mountjoy and
Margaret Schwartz, both of 54
c st. N. W., and Olive Nadin,
of 1915 I st. N. w.
They said he answered their
advertisements for work, tele-
phoning them he was "Mr. King"
and that he would send Leon"
to see them.
Framed Phone Calls
Franey would then call at the
homes of the women posing as
Leon" they said. He would
tell them to telephone to "Mr.
King" at a specified time, giving
them the number of public
telephone in the Police Court
Building.
At the time specified, Assistant
United States Attorney Milford
F. Schwartz charged, Franey
would be near the court tele-
phone and answer the call, max
ing an appointment for Leon"
to return and give the woman
a physical examination.
Police say Franey explained
the use of the court phone by
saying he was on a jury.
An Old Offender
Two years ago, Franey was
convicted on assault charges
growing out of a similar case
and was sentenced to one year
in Jail.
At the same time, he was given
80 days for practicing medicine
without a license.
More than 20 young girls COM
planned against him at that time.
He then posed as a Filipino,
but today in court he admitted
he is a negro.

WOMEN INVADE
CAPITAL FOR
WET DRIVE
Sen. Fess Fails to Give Them
Hearing; Sticks to His
Dry, Dry Principles

Six hundred women vets
made a mass attack on the
Capitol today, invading the
sanctuaries of dry Congress
men and endevaoring to per-
suade them that they should
change their attitude.

Women's Organization for Ma
tional Prohibition Reform has
adopted a resolution urging strict
non-partisanship until after the
party conventins in June, when
records will be analyzed and can
didates endorsed.

With this background, the dele.
cation made an impressive array
as it posed on the Capitol steps
where Mrs. Charles H. Sabin. of
New York, founder of the move
ment, told them to warn their
State delegations that they will
not support a candidate who
favors prohibition.
She declared that prohibition
is making a hypocrites and under.

cold shoulder from Senator
Simeon D. Fess (RO of Ohio.
Fess Gets Upset
Fess. chairman of the Repub-
lican National Committee, is iecog-
nized as one of the most ardent
OF dryS. He made two interesting
statements as follows:
Manufactured clamor has
no effect on me-"
Every man should keep an
open mind on every public ques-
tion. Until some proposal is
made which is better than the
Eighteenth Amendment, 1 will
be opposed to any change"
He was apparently unimpressed
by the stories that $4,000 women
had Joined the wet organization,
$4,000 of them in his own State
of Ohio. In fact, he said that if
everyone in Ohio we're for prohi-
bition repeal he would be against
it because he believes it is wrong.

WHOPPER BEAR STORY
 TOLD IN SEWARD BY
 LOCAL DkvY CROCKETT

During the while Edwin Sand beck, feature writer on the staff of The Seward Gateway, spent in Nuka Bay, accompanied by Capt. Peter Sather, he visited the main land and knocked over two bears. Knowing we'll the potentialities of the area for big bears the hunters took along a couple of "cannons' as safety precaution in case the carniverouS bruins got the best of the argument.
 After they had been on the mainland for a short period, bears, evidently smelled them out, for the animals began popping out from hill and dale. One of the first seen caught the wind of the hum
Seward daily gateway., 1932-08-26

ans and immediately high-tailed it for the tall and uncut. Soon af- ter another bear staggered into sight but this one was fishing on a creek and could not be bothered, remaining on the stream. Sandbeck and Sather both fired in the gen. eral direction of the beast, missing him by fully a mile. A ricochet, however, struck the bear in the back; thinking a bee had stung him, the bear walked out into the middle of the creek and dared the hunters to come and get him.
 Sandbeck, the young Daniel Boone of these parts, with great long strides, stalked up to the bank, looked the bruin squarely in the eyes, spit on him and then, with remarkable dexterity, placed lead pellet into the whites of the bears eyes. The hunters then carved the carcass up.
 When they completed this task they started back to the island by way of an old bear trail. On this they met another large beast, the animal coming up to within 100 feet of the big bame hunters, and sniffed at Eds pants. That made Ed sore so with alacrity he drop ed bullet into his trusty gun and threw it at the bear; the bullet, not the gun. Bruin took it in the neck and with a loud moan, keeled over, falling into a shallow stream.
 Still another bear was seen later wabbling along a distance ridge but the big game hunters were weary and shooed the bear away; they felt that they had shed enuff blood for one day.

Despite the lack of the usual sunshine, in July and August, the gardens are doing well and eSp,b cially the native gardens, though few in number this year, but they make up in quality in their pota- toes, cabbage and turnips. This is only forerunner of what is hoped hoped to be done next spring when most of the families will have the opportunity to make their gardens. The teachers garden is a good pros pect for the potato seed for next year.
