Police Charge Man Ran
Lottery Aboard Steamer

Sidney Johnson, so, colored, was
charged with operating a lottery
and possessing lottery slips after
police arrested him yesterday aboard
the steamer Meteor, on the Wash

had been doing a thriving numbers
business"
Arrest OF Johnson, who gave an
address in the first block OF Ran

G. Goode, that numbers" slips were
being sold on his ship. Sometimes,
he told police, the operators failed
to pay of, and there was trouble.
Police put an undercover man,
disguised as a dishwasher, on the
Meteor, and shortly aftefward
johnson was taken into custody. He
was not an employe OF the boat line.

The cello, after all, is generally

instrument, the one which comes

There is little likelihood that you
will be hearing Sacha Lucas play
the violin at the Troika anytime
soon, what with the Troika having
become an expensive bonfire yester-
day morning. We are prepared, to-
day, however, to tell you what you
would have heard had the Troika
not been burned out just in time to
forestall Sacha's appearance there
week from tonight. Fiddling UP
at the Sazerac Room on the night
before Helen Hamilton's populsN
rendezvous burned, M. Lucas was
convinced finally that he is on
par as an institution in Washington
with, say, Metro -Goldwyn-Ma in
Hollywood.
If M-G-M can preview its product

no less, he was told. So, handful

Mayhugh's attorney a eys would
have based their defense around
the contention that McElrey had
helped rob the old man, and that
the fatal shot was fired as a result
of a quarrel. They had witnesses
who would bear out the entire
story they said.
Withheld Car Keys
McElroy had helped steal ap-
proximately $50 from Mayhugh
caller in the afternoon on the day
of the shooting, it was said. He
was trying to force still more from
Mayhugh, and was holding the
keys of Mayhugh's car until the
latter came across. Mayhugh con-
tends that, when he went in after
his gun, he was going to use it to
try and force McElroy to return
the keys to him.
Instead of returning the keys,
however, McElroy started out of
the car in a threatening manner,
saying something to the effect
that he would take the gun away
from Mayhugh. The old man then
shot him through the head. It
was said that McElroy's body was
found with one foot out of the car
door and the keys in his hand.
The defense had planned to
bring more than 40 witnesses to
the stand to prove this story to
convince the jury that Mayhugh
otherwise has always been highly
regarded in Redwood.

TRIAL is OFF

manslaughter, even if he had
stood trial. They base their be-
lief on the high regard which res
idents in the north part of Union
county have for the man, and his
age.
1t is estimated that the trial,
had it gone on, would have cost
the county approximately $2500
which expense of course, is saved
by avoiding the trial. Jury and
witness fees would have compris-
ed the bulk of the expense. Nearly
so witnesses were to have been
subpoenaed, and it would have
been necessary to quarter the jur-
ors in the Oakland hotel as long
as the trial continued as long
as two weeks according TO some
estimates.

of the Dutch East Indies" by 3.
II. M. Vlekke; "The World Today"
by Nicholas Murray Butler and

The book on Iran tells of her

of conquests, of the struggle be-
tween English and Dutch for SUI
premacy and of the tremendous
development of oil. These islands
are a storehouse of riches, and will
play an important part in the flu
ture commercial activities of the
world. eThe World Today is a
collection of twenty-five addresses
given at various times by the Pres
