ROBBER SLAIN
BY CONSTABLE

PITTSBURG, Aug. 7 G.N.SO.-
John Sonnie, "a, arrested last
year in Nebraska for attempted
extortion in the Lindbergh baby
kidnapping case, was shot and
killed when he attempted to hold
up constable Ray Hertel, Of
Springdale, county detectives said
today.
Sonnie's brother, Carl, who took
him to the hospital after the
shooting, was arrested when he
told police a false story of the
killing. Authorities said they came
to Springdale to rob "Petters."
Hertel said John Sonnie ap-
preached him with a gun in his
hand and ordered the officer to
hand over his money. Hertel
reached for his pistol and fired
twice. At the hospital, where Carl
took his wounded brother, he
told attaches John had been shot
by a wan of whom he asked a
match.
Police said John served a month
in a Federal prison for writing q
letter to Col. Charles A. Lind
berg offering to return his baby
for $4,000.

cation Of charges that settlers in
the Jackson Hole wilderness were
driven out by fire and by threats

The first witness to face the

denied that the torch and intimi-

problem. She was haled before
the tribunal on the complaint of
Anna Martin, 27, who complained
that Jean had struck her and
called her names in a drug store
last Sunday. Jean said:
"She stole my husband"
Anna snapped:
"He never was your husband.
He was just your man."
And Jean walled:
"Yeah, he's been with you
two years. 1 had him for ten
and now you get $40 q week
from your husband besides"
The court announced that Jean
would be paroled until Septem-
ber %, when the object of dispute
would be brought in and asked
to declare his love for either of

must then promise not to annoy
the winner. Both Jean and Anna

GERMAN GIRLS
ENJOY WORK
IN CAMPS
BY QUENTIN REYNOLDS

SPANDAU, Germany, Aug. Z
G.N.S0.-Two hundred thousand
unemployed German girls be-
tween the ages of II and Is are
at present living in 400 working
camps learning the duties of a
servant, cook, and housewife at
the expense of the German gov
ernment.
The work camp at Spandau is
typical of others which are scat
tered all over Germany. Here
go girls under the direction of
Miss Erna Will and Miss Lotte
Streit live, work, and are taught
all they need to know for their
future careers along the line of
domestic servitude, nursing, teach
ing, or marriage.
Many of the girls were once
dometic servants or cooks. Many
were students Of once well-off
families. Others were stenog-
raphers, shopgirls, or factory
workers. Tanned to a crisp
bronze by the sun and looking
healthy and happy. They pro-
fess to be supremely satisfied
with their lot.
There is a similar camp for
youths a few miles away and the
girls darn the socks and mend
the shirts of these youngsters
and they in return do the cob.
bling for the girls.
The cost to the government is
roughly so cents each a day,
which includes administration
charges as we'll as lodging, food,
and clothing.

ing demands something more
ornamental and in keeping
with the present scheme Of
things"
At some of the new Government
buildings ornate flag poles have
been erected beside the structures
while at others they have been
placed, at a 45-degree angle, over
the entrances.
It was also pointed out that
Washington's skyline is not what
it used to be. There was a time
when practically every building
flew at its top an American flag.
Today in many instances only
the flagpole is visible.
So the old-fashioned flag pole
is also on its way to join the
limbo of forgotten things.

Pesek Great, Headed Nowhere
Wrestler of Old School Refuses
Or Join Trust.

And he is not trust wrestler, which
is rare treat, though he has not nor
will not, get anywhere in the grapple
pastime without aflliating himself with
one of the combines, or hoss shows.
Which is why Mr.. Pesek has only
Cincinnati and suburbs, and various
other small points, to protect.
Yet the Wiry Bohemian is credited
with having wrestled the longest
shooting match bout in the history Of
the sport. He and jimmy Londos wres-
tied for seven hours in ST. Louis in
the days before the hip-hip-h hippo
drome was in vogue. Only a daylight
law stopped them from still Hopping

Of the few old-time shooting wrestlers
left. The front office doesn't want to
handle him because he has never be-

game Pesek is rated the greatest. He
is another Hans Steinke. And you
know that few of the tumblerS want

Ten years ago out in Casper, Wyo.,

he could go about winning one like it.

GRID TUTORS WANT
PASS RULE CHANGE
Would Discourage Too Free
Heaving of BalI-Three
Plans Suggested.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, January 26.-Whether
N or not the foot ball Rules Com
mittee decides to make any
changes this year, the coaches
have few very definite ideas what
ought to be done and are preparing to
sift the suggestions at a meeting Of
their Committee of 20" early in Feb
ruary and to present them to the rules
body when it gathers.
The two principal ideas, as gathered
by Lou Little, chairman of the COM
m!ttee the coaches formed at their De-
cember meetings, are that something
ought to be done about the forward
pass and that the ball ought to be
brought in from the edge of the field
without the loss Of down before it is
carried over the side line.
Fear that the forward pass was get
ting out of hand and too many passes
were being tossed indiscriminately was
reflected in the report of the 1882
Rules Committee. The coaches offer
three possible changes to discourage
too much passing. They are:
l. That the penalty for two success
Sive incomplete passes be increased from
to IS yards; offered by Little
2. That forward passes be permitted
from any point behind the scrimmage
line, replacing the present restriction
that the ball must be thrown from a
point at least five yards behind the line;
made by Dick Hanley of Northwestern.
3. That forward pass caught by the
defense after it has touched an in
eligible receiver be ruled an inter-
cepted pass instead of an incomplete
pass as is the case today
Personally" Little added, II believe
that aside from simplifying the rules,
taking away the ambiguity that exists
in some places, the rules should be let
alone. Last years changes worked out
very well. A little attention to the for
ward pass is about all can see that is
necessary"
