Judge Yehle wasn't fooling when
he told George Brown, 35, that he
must either give his weekly pay
check to his wife, or go to Jail on
an intoxication charge, brought by
Mrs Brown.
After much arguing, Brown
agreed to give up the $12.50 check.
Brown and his wife left the court

Judge Yehle was surprised few
moments later to see Mrs. Brown
burst ruthlessly into the court room
with the announcement that her
husband had changed his mind
about surrendering the check
For the second time that day
Brown was hailed into police court.

the judge. j,
"I-I spent part of it," faltered
Brown.
"How much have you got leftP
Five dollars" replied Brown.
The judge ordered Brown to give
the five dollars to his wife and
discounted the remaining $3.50 with
q six months jail sentence.

TRIAL OF ECAN
COMMENCES AT
SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IL. U.H
Tracing the background of one
of the most unusual murders in
San Francisco's history, Isadore M.
Golden, chief prosecutor, today be-
gan his formal attempt to send
Frank j. Egan and Albert Tinnin
to the gallows for the killing of
Mrs. Jessie Scott Hughes.
Golden told the jury of the find
ing of Mrs. Hughes battered body
in gutter the night of April %.
He said the prosecution would show
that the murder was based on the
conspiracy of Egan, Tinnin and
Verne Doran: that the murdered
woman was an old friend of Egan,
who had handled her affairs and
was the sole beneficiary under her
will and of her life insurance pol
icy.
I'VE propose to show what the
defendant Egan had to gain by
this unholy transaction" Golden
declared.
Charges of murder were brought
against the three defendants after
Doran assertedly confessed that he
and Tinnin, at Egan's insistence,
killed Mrs. Hughes by running an
automobile over her body. Then
tossed the body onto residential
street to make it appear the Ct
year-old woman had been the vic
tim of a hit-run driver. Egan, for
mer public defender, and Tinnin,
an ex-convict, denied t1ey had any
connection with the killing.
Doran, in exchange for his as
serted confession, was promised po-
lice held in obtaining a lighter sem
tence.

PEOPLE DEMAND
EXECUTION OF
SPANISH REBEL
Army Officer Held Pris-
Oner Awaiting DISPOSE
ton OF His Case.
BY JOHN DEGANDT
United Press Staff Correspondent

MADRID. Aug. 1.-THE populace
demanded General Jose San Jurjo
be executed Immediately for his
leadership of Wednesdays abor-
tive revolutionary outbreak, as the
general awaited fearlessly and
calmly the Republican govern
ment's decision today on his pun
ishment.
The fat, bald, moustached mill
tary leader formerly associated
with Primo Rivera, accepted the
situation with stole calm, even
though mobs in both Madrid and
Seville shouted for his head.
His son, Justo, came to him at
his summer home in Ell Escorial,
he said, and told him that he was
needed to head the monarchist re-
volt.
"I agreed to it." he said, land in
spite of the disappointment have
suffered, I am not afraid to face
the consequences.
The manner in which the revolt
in Seville met defeat was explained
today by military leaders. The
outbreak in Madrid had been put
down but General San Jurjo was
virtually in control of Seville when
he decided by bold stroke to at
tack the Republican governments
advancing, troops.
He summoned Col. Gonzales Po-
lenco, commander of the Ninth
regiment, to his headquarters in
Seville and ordered that the rebel
troops be sent out to meet the ap-
preaching soldiers.
Colonel Polanco flatly refused,
declaring that his soldiers joined
the revolutionary movement only
after General San Jurjo had issued
proclamation stating falsely that
the rebels had seized Madrid and
were in control of the government.
"We have no intention of obey
ing you," Colonel Polanco said.
Shortly thereafter General San
Jurjo, faced with no alternative,
disappeared from Seville, to be
captured in flight a few hours
later at Huelva.

America, represented by the Un-

ever, came back manfully yester-
day to score decisive triumph and

Australia, with it's great Bobby

COUNTY OFFICER
SAYS FINANCIAL
CONDITION SOUND

That Imperial county still is fin
ancially sound, and is not in danger
of any but the slightest of financial
difficulties, was the statement to-
day of one county official in an au-
thoritative position to discuss reg
istering of warrants, started yes
terday morning.
The county now is releasing war;
rants on two years, he said. While
1892 warrants are being paid
Immediately upon their presenta-
ton, the warrants for 1928 are
being registered at the county treas
ury, to be paid in the order in
which they are registered.
1t is only warrants on the general
fund which are registered, since
warrants on other funds have been
provided for by budget allowances.
1t is possible that the future may
see the 1931-32 warrants register
ed, until the income into the gen.
eral fund grows, or new budget is
adopted in November.
This county official declared that
he had been told banks have re-
fused several warrants, but added
that the banks could not be expect
ed to register these warrants them
selves. The warrants must be taken
to the county treasury, where they
are registered, he said. Until paid
they draw five per cent interest.
Money for the 1928 general
fund has not yet come in. the Of
ficial declared. The only way warrans
for this term could be paid would
be from surplus in the general
fund, and such surplus is not pro-
vided by law.

that which would censor interna-

What certain diplomats of Eu.

"They want to make public opinion

favorable to what they conceive to

policy of free press is not popular
among them. 1t interferes with
manipulations close to their hearts,
and, considering the present world
wide economic involvement of the
United States, to be attained by
every conceivable maneuver known

board"
The periodical also condemned
the proposal to increase press rates
for radio and telegraph as an ef-
fort further to limit press opera
tions and embarrass the flow of in
formation"
Meanwhile, users of cable service
in New York City, led by banking
and brokerage houses, appealed to
President Hoover to give them rep
resentation on the American dele
cation. Walter Lichstenstein, Chi

SCIENTISTS SEE
WEIRD LIGHTS in
METEOR SHOWER

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Aug. ~
W.H- "A rain of Perseids, meteor.
from the constellation Perseus
bombarded the outer atmosphere
and shot earthward early today.
Astronomers at Harvard observa-
tory counted 242 of the flaming
meteors, which flashed across the
stellar spaces, leaving a brilliant
train of light in their wake. The
shower. beginning shortly afte,
midnight, lasted until 4:30 a. m.
Eastern Standard Time. The
meteors were mostly blush white
and yellowish.
The annual contact of the orbits
of the earth and Perseus was more
spectacular than usual. The moon
set early, darkening the sky to make
perfect setting for the stellar
fireworks.
The Perseid showers are men,
toned in ancient Chinese manu-
scripts and an accurate record oi
them has been kept for more thar
1000 years.
ARCHIE, Mo-, Aug. IL. U.P)-
Scientists in Missouri believed to-
day that they had found the first
authentic sample of bits of the
Perseids, those meteorites which
have scampered through the sky foi
the past two days and nights.
The metal bits fell on a farm
operated near here by Earl ano
Harry christensen. The Chris
tiansens were plowing in a corn
field about 4:30 yesterday after
noon when they heard a whistling
sound in the air and saw weird
puffs of smoke. Marvin Miller, 9
neighbor, and his small son also
were at the farm. All said that
thud followed each of the four
eerie whistles. And the Millers ano
Christiansens made a bee line fol-
the house and shelter.
When they went back to the field
they searched where they hao
heard the thuds, and found three
particles of the fireballs buried in
the ground. One of the bits
weighed pound. All had buried
themselves about six inches. The
fourth projectile was not found.
Prof. E. s. Haynes. astronomer
at the University of Missouri, was
expected to examine the meteorites
today and have them analyzed to
determine their composition.
