MINER, CHARGED WITH LARCENY, POSTS BAIL PENDING EXAMINATION

Henry Neble, charged with lar ceny in a dwelling, was released yesterday from custody by Federal authorities pending a preliminary examination before Judge J. F. Mullen in the United States Com missioner's Court. His bond was fixed at $500 which was promptly furnished.
 Neble, a loader in the AlasAa Ju- neau mine where he has been em- ployed for several years, is alleged to have entered the room of Tony Kores at the A. J. Boarding House where both room, and to have talk en a small sum of money and two ice pool tickets. He denied this absolutely.
 Authorities are investigating the case and reports that roomers at the Boarding House have been systematically robbed of money for two or three years. Nothing but cash was ever taken and the GUS tom of the robber was to split 50- 50 with his victim, taking only one-half of the money that wa found. Neble was arrested las week.
 The ice-pool tickets claimed by Kores, and which he charged wers taken from his trunk, were found to have been turned in and bore Neble's signature. The latter de- nied having taken them from Kores' room and declared he bought them, took them home and left them on a table in his room for a few days before filling them in. He said he made no record ol the numbers on the tickets wher he purchased them. It was possi- ble, he declared, for some one, who might have taken Kores' tickets might have switched them for those purchased by himself. He is said to be a steady worker and to bear a good reputation.

"FOOL OF VENUS"
 ONLY HISTORY OF ROMANCE, CLAIM
New Book Published by Cronyn Russian
 Story Is Off Press
By JOHN SELBY

! NEW YORK, March 27.-George sCronyns eThe Fool of Venus is historical romance, but it is cer- tainly not historical romance of the type written by the Baroness Orc zy. it -.r 2 MT. Cronyn had some difficulty fixing the form in which he would present his conquering troubadours. First the form was pageant, then a poem, then a play. Now it is a novel, but one so full of the history and romance of it's period that it might almost be taken as source Book on the period of the trouba- dours 4~
 g The period is, incidentally, that of the third and fourth Crusades. The cradle of the book, as it were, is Provence in the time when great ladies held courts of love, and when it was mark of bad taste for one of them to refuse the attentions of properly quail fled wandering minstrel.
 There is no space even to sum- marize the career of MT. Cronyn's fascinating Peire Vidal; suffice it , to say that the book is a long riotous pageant of romantic love and intrigue, so highly colored that one must sometimes close ones eyes to rest, but carrying con- viction on almost every page.
