sit Witnesses for the prosecution included state troopers, bondsmen and Mrs. Ruth Jarvis, former "housekeeper" of the club. Admitting that she held similar positions at the 316 Club, Fourth Street, and the 200 Bar, Third St. and Central Newport, Mrs. Jarvis testified that she would accept money from patrons who "selected" girls.

She testified, also, that she kept a running account of each girl's earnings. She also testified that she was convicted in Covington in 1935 for loitering. She is serving a one-year term in Alexandria jail. The 316 Club and the 200 Bar have been closed following prostitution raids. During questioning by the prosecution Mrs.

Jarvis stated that money received during the night was divided between the girls and Harris. The first trial of Harris was delayed on one occasion when Charles E. Lester, Newport attorney, quit as his counsel. A postponement July 2 made it necessary to select a new panel of jurors. Retrial of James Harris, marshal of Wilder, accused of pandering, is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.

m. today in Judge Ray Murphy's Campbell Council Circuit Court, Newport. The first trial of Harris began July 30, in the same court, and ended in a jury deadlock August 5. During the trial Rhodes K. Myers, attorney for Harris, asked the court to subpoena Governor Wetherby and Charles C.

Oldham, state police chief. They were later excused. The charge against Harris stems from the marshal's alleged operation of the Hi-Dee-Ho Club, 19 Licking Pk Wilder, in 1952. He was indicted last May. In Mr.

Myers' closing argument he commented on the two-year interval between the time of the alleged offense and returning of an indictment, ami declared that the action was motivated by politics. During the trial state troopers testified that Harris presented himself as marshal of Wilder and offered to assist them when they raided the club in September, 1952. if 4r 1 i y3 Library May Become Base For State Bookmobile Unit In Erlanger-Elsmere Plan to REPORTS PARENTS Of Babies Found Of Wreck Vary 1W select a fifth member, and then work out plans with the State Extension Service for a headquarters. Elsmere committee members are Mrs. John Crowcll and John Thcsing from Endanger, Mrs.

Hugh McDonald, president of the Erlanger Women's Club, and Clarence Cortney. Although the Erlanger-Elsmere library has no paid librarian, more than 7000 volumes are on the shelves, supported by the city councils with assistance of the Erlanger Women's Club, which organized the library in 1914. Plans also are being made, it was stated, for the hiring of a librarian "if all goes well." Mrs. Mayo Taylor, wife of the Erlanger city manager, has been donating her time as librarian. Mrs.

Rebecca Cox, Covington librarian, said yesterday she "had asked the State for the last bookmobile unit." She said "it would have cost us $10,000 to establish two branch libraries in Latonia and West Covington, where they are needed. Mow-ever, we decided, and City Manager George Schaefer concurred, that a bookmobile unit would be cheaper. Upkeep on that would be only $6000." Mrs. Cox said she "knew nothing of the bookmobile unit being given to Erlanger and Elsmere. "For a period of several years," she said, "the Erlanger-Elsmere library was administered by the Covington library.

Circulation increased so we were forced to turn the library back to the cities in 1942."

The state recently gave 100 bookmobile units with similar conditions to cities of the commonwealth.

If Erlanger Els-mere officials accept the unit it will be the only one operating in this part of the county as well as the last one the state has to give away. According to Kentucky laws, all cities must have a $5 million tax duplicate before their library Is accredited by the state. It was disclosed in an "informal" opinion by the office of the State attorney general "that since the library has been opcr-ating for 16 years, and before passage of the 1944 revised statutes on libraries," the attorney general "would co-operate with Erlanger-Elsmere officials in establishment of a bookmobile library base.

Kaniwee wasn't sure: Then, "In Germany!" he said aloud, telling Czernec rather than asking. A mutual smile sealed the reunion. And Luck He Got!
