Captain G. E. Reordan's request

o'clock yesterday afternoon when

with summons in a suit for
$4,000 damages for alleged false
arrests, filed against him by
Alma Thornton, an employee i'll
the Dclmonico restaurant.
The raid was made by Chief
E2puty A. H. McInnis and Depu-
ties Will Archer and Moreno
Wallace. They said that they
found the bar in the front part OF
the building closed, but that
drinks were being dispensed in
a rear room that formerly was
used as kitchen. In the room
at the time, they said were six
naval officers and their escorts.
-Four of the officers, accompanied
by their escorts, hurrndly left
the building, the deputies said,
and when, the next day, Cap
tain Reordan was informed of the
incident, he requested Sheriff
Sawyer that, if any naval officers
thereafter were participants in
liquor law violations, to arrest
them too. -.
Chief McInnis said today that
he and the other deputies con
fiscatcd, liquor in glasses. on
tables, and that Alma Thornton
at first told him, in. the presence
Of the other deputies, that she
had lease on the back room
and later. that she was the mana
ger of the bar.
AS d result of that admission"
Chief McInnis said today, I'VE
arrested her and released her on
posting bail of $3.50"
The next afternoon Arturo
BOA, who conducts the Dclmon-
leo, was arrested, and, when the
case against him was tried in
criminal court he was found not
guilty. The case against Alma
Thornton was then nolprosSed.
William V. Albury, attorney
for Sheriff Sawyer, was asked
today if he had started to prepare
to contest the case against the
sheriff, and he replied:
How can I start? No dcclara-
ton has yet been filed in the
case, and until it is l will not be
able to prepare an answer"

T axe Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
It's Hard to Believe,

Hollywood gossip columnists prob
ably will be amazed to learn that the
word gossip from the Middle Eng
lish godsib) originally meant re
lated in God" and specifically desig-
mated godfather or godmother at
baptism.
1t was once quite proper to speak
of woman as hussy, for the word
is simply a shortened form of the
old word huswife, meaning house
wife" Huswife became hussif, which
evolved into the modern word hussy,
which somehow lost its real meaning
and became term of contempt.
The "hus-" of hussy is seen also
in the word husband. which is
shortened form of the Icelandic
word husbondi, "a dweller in a
house"
The word wife is from the Anglo
Saxon wifi, which meant woman" !"
And woman evolved from the Anglo
Saxon wifman. which meant liter
