NEWSPAPER ADS
seen b. |. AID

Newspapers offer the best ad.
vertising medium for building and
loan associations.
That advice was given today by
A. D. Theobald, of Chicago, at the
opening session of the annual
meeting of the southeastern sec.
ton of the United States Building
and Loan League at the Mayflower
Hotel.
Theobald, who is director of
education of the American Savings
and Loan Institute, urged about
300 representatives attending the
meeting, to place special emphasis
on newspaper advertising in the
interest of better business.
He suggested that one-quarter
of / per cent of the assets of an
association be devoted to adver-
Using.
A note of optimism was sounded
by State Senator James H. Ham
mond of South Carolina, president
of the Southeastern Group Con-
ference, in his opening address.
He pointed out that business
conditions are improving in this
section of the country as evidenced
by new home construction and ap-
plicationS for home loans.

Case
Dismissal
Forecast

Dismissal of the indictment
charging Abe Plisco, alias Jew
Boy" Dietz, and 81 others, includ.
ing four policemen, with conSpir.
ing to violate the gaming law, ap-
peared a virtual certainty today.
Justice Joseph w. Cox, in United
States District Court, overruled oil
pleas filed in the case by che
numerous defense counsel, thus
paving the way for prompt trial.
That the trial will never take
place was indicated in the attitude
today of United States Attorney
David A. Pine and his assistant,
Roger Robb. Neither would COM
ment on the status of the Dis
trict'S most sensational gambling
case, but other members of Pines
staff said possibility of convictitig
any of the defendants, upon a trial
Of the case, is remote.
They based their observation on
the fact that when Justice Cox,
following the Supreme Court de-
cision in the now famous Nardone
cases, ruled that overlapping evil
dence in the Plisco case will be
barred from the jury, the Govern
ment was stripped of its most vital
evidence because the Plisco case
was built up on information
cleaned through overlapping.
Only a week ago Justice Cox
ordered return to Plisco of all
equipment seized in his Albee
Building suite where his elaborate
"TelecaSt" system of broadcaSting
race results was established.
Knowing the prosecution had
been hopelessly crippled by the
court ruling, Defense Attorneys
Harry T. Whelan, William B.
O'Connell, William H. McGrath
and others then pressed for i'm
mediate trial. Further embar-
RAISING the prosecution, they de
manded that the Government fur
nish a bill of particulars on which
the indictment was based, know
ing such a bill could not be fur
niShed without reference to the
excluded overlapping activities.
The indictment resulted from a
series of IS spectacular raids by
picked police Squadrons on March
10, 1887, which led to the arrest
Of 10 persons on gaming and con-
spiracy charges.
The investigation caught Plisco
and the other 81 co-defendants in
one conspiracy indictment and
included Detective Sergt. Fred
Antonelli, veteran of ~ years
service; Precinct Detectives Frank
M. White, of the Second precinct.
and Charles A. Buck" Berry, of
the Eleventh precinct, and Police
man Allan M. Embrey, jr., and
william B. Satterthwaite, of the
Second precinct. The policemen
have been under suspension since
the indictment was reported.

stein.
Rather than discouraged over
a former ruling of the Federal
Board of Tax Appeals which held
that Jackie was not emancipated
by his late father, John Coogan
ST., they said the ruling would
help Jackie's case.
GEMS SURRENDERED
They failed to give their rea.
sons for their optimism, however
AS both sides prepared for the
anticipated bitter court room bat
tie, wherein Jackie will demand an
accounting of the huge fortune,
estimated at 100000 he claims
he earned in film work, Mrs. Lii.
liam Coogan Bernstein surrendered
small fortune in jewels to Attor-
ney John Billy, appointed as re-
ceiver Of Jackie Coogan Produc-
tions pending the hearing.
She also took Biby to her bank
and gave him the key to the safe
deposit box in which she kept
other trinkets as we'll as pieces
of jewelry and medals given Jackie
by fans from all parts of the world
when Mr.. and Mrs. John Coogan
were riding high with THE Kid"
Among Mrs. Bernstein's Surren-
dered jewels was a 17-carat dia-
mond set in a platinum ring which
she values at $4,000, a $4,000
diamond and platinum brooch, a
diamond encrusted watch given
Jackie by Charlie Chaplin and a
diamond-studded platinum watch
valued at $4,000 presented by a
fan to Jack when he was 5.
ACCUSES BERNSTEIN
This latter timepiece is the one
Jackie accused his stepfather of
borrowing for his own use after
refusing to let Jackie wear it.
Biby's inventory, which may dis
close that the Coogan millions
have shrunk to a mere $500, 900
or so, will be filed with the Su-
perior court today. Regarding a
reported bundle of pari-mutuel
race track tickets representing
losses of several thousand dollars,
Billy would say only:
Lots of people keep their los
ing tickets for income tax deduc.
tons"
CLAIMS RACE LOSSES
Jackie, whom the BernSteins
contend is entitled to not one cent
of his earnings as a minor, has
accused Bernstein of charging
race track losses to the estate.
Bernstein, who married Mrs.
Bernstein shortly after the elder
Coogan was killed in an automo
bile accident in 1885, and who has
been business manager for Coogan
Productions for many years, de-
MED he seeks Jackie'S fortune.
