K.

Welsh and the robbery and kidnaping of "Buster" Clampltt, Reno taxi driver, who was "taken for a ride" by James Larkln and Martin Mercer, ex-convicts, last July 1, "Madame" Lillian Danne, Reno spiritualist and fortune teller, was arrested late yesterday and lodged In the county Jail. District Attorney Melvin Jepson drew a formal complaint charging "Madame" Danne with complicity In the crimes. Jepson charges that the plot to rob Welsh, an elderly man, was "hatched" by Mrs. Danne on the afternoon of July 1 while she was reading Welsh's fortune. His charges are based on evidence gathered by Chief of Police J.

M. Klrkley, who swore, to the complaint. Jepson said that the two ex-con victs, who had served terms In San Quentln and the Nevada state penitentiary, respectively, had been living at Mrs. Danne's LaUe street residence. "Welsh came strolling along Lake street by the Danne home on the afternoon of July 1," Jepson alleges, "and Larkln and Mercer were In the house.

Mrs. Danne Is alleged to have greeted Welsh and persuaded him to have another "reading" of the cards. "By adroit questioning," Jepson said, "the fortune teller learned that Welsh had several hundred dollars in his purse. He paid 'or his 'reading' with a five dollar bill. Mercer was called In to make the change.

Upon his return 'Madame Danne excused herself and went to an adjoining room where she held a conversation with Mercer. "Both Mercer and Larkln then left." "You boys go on home," Mrs, Danne Is alleged to have told them, although, according to the prosecutor, their home was at the Danne residence. They obtained a piece of radio wire from Mrs. Danne's, Jepson charges, and proceeded to Welsh's home. There they are charged with having entered a side window and awaited Welsh's return.

The elderly man was held up at the point of a gun and after he had been bound to a rocking chair with the wire, the two allegedly left and called the taxi from a nearby store. Clampltt responded to the call and the two alleged bandits are accused of putting a gun to his ribs and forcing him to "step on It." Near Susanvllle, Clampltt managed to escape by Jumping from the rear of the taxi. Larkln and Mercer were arrested it a San Francisco parking lot at one o'clock In the morning the following Tuesday. Jepson says both have made at least partial confessions and have Indicated they may plead guilty to a charge of robbery. Under Nevada law, the district attorney says, an accessory may be charged and placed on trial as a principal.

Mrs. Danne walked right Into the arms of the sheriff yesterday afternoon when she called at the county Jail to visit Larkln and Mercer. She had requested permission to see them previously and It was denied until Chief of Police Klrkley had gathered sufficient evidence on which to base the warrant for arrest. Then he advised the sheriff's office to tell Mrs. Danne she could visit the two prisoners.

She arrived post haste and was still In Jail at noon today. Tonopah Society Concludes Season TONOPAH. July 10. (Special) The Presbyterian Ladles' Aid Society held Its last meeting of the summer at the home of Mrs. Charles Douglass with Mrs.

DROUGHT RELIEF GIVEN VALLEY WASHINGTON, July 10 (jpy While the Colorado river took a final vengeance upon Imperial Valley farmers, federal relief machinery was In full motion today to assist victims of the most serious drought experience since water was diverted Into the great Salton basin In 1901. Next spring, water will begin to store behind Boulder dam, ending spring floods and summer druoghts In the valley. Imperial county, California, already has been designated an emergency drought area by the agriculture department. Phil Swing, former congressman and co-author of the Boulder dam act, who was sent to Washington by the Imperial farmers, said he was "absolutely confident" their needs would be supplied. Federal emergency relief officials said the amount of money to be allotted to Imperial county had not been determined, but an Investigation of the extent of the need was under way and when It was completed "within a day or two" the money would be made available.

When the amount Is decided upon, they said, It will be made available for use In the manner the farmers think best to solver their problem. The dam will be near enough completion by next spring so that the flood waters of 1935 can be stored against diminished summer flow, and for the first time In the history of the valley the fear of flood and drought will be removed. But, on the eve of the final season during which the river may run free, the Colorado Is visiting the valley with Its most serious trial. SPARKS POLICE ARE KEPT BUSY Sparks police had a comparatively busy time during the month of June, handling twenty-nine cases. Chief of Police Fred Morris reported, to the city council last night.

"IpaWBlueRkL tViatnasJ' prm He T' ixM led RECOMMENDED RENO GROCER "i i i Aw Jam1 mm of to in as KENO LICE ey Reviving the Chinese lottery con troversy, which has been dormant for nearly a year, the Reno city council last night granted keno licenses to Walter Tun for the Star Club at 137 Lake street and toWoo Sing lor the Public Club at 223 Lake street. An application for a similar license, filed by Gee Lam for an estiblishment at 230 North Virginia street, was denied on request of Chief of Police Klrkley. Walter Tun and Woo Sing, rival Chinese gamblers, carried their troubles to the city council on numerous occasions during the past few years, and the district attorney's office announced at one time that the operation of Chinese lottery games would not be tolerated regardless of any action of the city council.

Tun and Woo assured the council last night that they Intended to operate keno games and not Chinese lottery games. Councilman Justi objected to granting Woo Sing a license, asserting that Woo Intended to run a Chinese lottery. The Public Club Is north of Second street while Walter Tun's place Is between Second and First street In what is known as the Chinese quarters. In September, 1932, the police staged a raid on Woo's place, the Henry Club at 133 Lake street, and arrested three of the Chinese employed there, charging them With operating a Chinese lottery. They were convicted in the police court and appealed to the district court.

The action was subsequently dismissed by the city. On July 19, 1933, Woo Sing was shot twice as he was entering his home at 420 West Second street and his assailant was never caught. The shooting occurred at midnight and was attributed at the time by the police to trouble arising from the gambling controversy. Woo was wounded In the leg and chest but recovered within a few weeks.
