Youth Fined For Enticing Girl to Auto Ray (Squeak) Wilson Pleads Guilty to Charge In Police Court Heaviest Rain of Year Raises Total Fall August to 4.9 Inches Complaint byMother Says Daughter Suffered Injury in Jump From Auto Pleading guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct "by enticing UMll girts into his auto and refusing to LOS Angeles with great ability and take them Ray 'Squeak' perfect harmony.

Wilson' was fined, $25 and costs by The village of 500 small houses, each nationality having Its separate zroup, kitchen and dining room, stands on a high hill that over ooks the Pacific on one side, the city of LOS Angeles on the other. A visit to the afternoon to Mary Pickford's studio. On the way you meet her husband, Douglas Fairbanks, and Harold Lloyfl, arm to arm. They say, "Come and look at Eddie Cantor, he is still working." You turn toward Eddie Cantor and Samuel.Goldwyn, who appears, hurrying, says: "I will show you Eddie Cantor. He Is making a picture for me." Eddie Cantor la dressed to a bull fighter's costume, a big black belt around his waist.

Temporarily he Is in a prison cell with heavy Iron bars, probably made' of paper painted black, "I have been to better jails than this," says' he, introducing you to Sidney Franklin, the American bull fighter, who left this country at the age of 18 to Wll bulls In Spain, Mexico, everywhere. "Show him the bulls, we got real ones," says Cantor. Franklin, the professional bull fighter, and Douglas Fairbanks who practiced bullfighting to make a picture, lead the way to a corral where six black bulls shake their horns, paw the ground, acting as though they had lived all their live? to Hollywood, registering malevolence. Two long horned brown American steers keep the bulls company and according to Bull Fighter Franklin they prevent the bulls from, fighting among themselves. Steers don't wan't to fight, can't see any sense In it, and separate the bulls when they start.

Learn from Mr. Franklin that a red rag means nothing to a bull He cannot 'distinguish colors, and dash at any moving object! big or little. To be safe to his cqmpShy. the bull fighter stands still, while he moves to the left or right the banner that he holds in his hand, the bull sees the banner moving, follows It, and cannot turn around in time. The matador's sword Is plunged into the bull's spine just above his shoulders, not into the bull's heart Douglas Fairbanks pointed out the spot with his finger on one black bull that appeared annoyed.

The sword severs the spinal cord, paralyzing the bull, causing hemorrhage and death within 20 minutes. The impetus of the rushing bull, not the strength of the matador, buries the sword four feet in the animal's body No bull Is used twice. The second time he would know too much. He has a good memory. In the picture Eddie Cantor, supposed never to have seen a bui: in his life, is forced to become bull fighter, after Sidney Franklin has shown him how the work Is done.

You see a few "shots" of Mr Cantor's latest contribution of the Americas. In addition to six Mexican black bulls and two brown steers there are 100 beautiful American girls, with eyes almost as big as Cantor's. The ladles when you first meet them are "co-eds" in a great college All are in bed, and all sleep In black lace nightgowns which would be no great protection In case 1 frost. They arise one after the other, and all walk up a staircase to a swimming pool, thus showing the profile. After the bath they slide down a strange chute tha might be used by firemen.

In the next scene, a school mistress, with eyeglasses, rebukes two young ladies that have overstep and compels each to say 20 times "I am a naughty girl," The third that has slept too long Is hard to awaken, but, once awake, It instant ly begins say tog "I am a naughty This is not true, for It Is Eddie Cantor, who has smuggled himself Into the young ladles' dor mltory. The school mistress "Satan nspired you to drink and then eom to this sacred place." Cantor answers ingenuously, "No ma am, you are Satan may have made me drink, but com ing here is my own Idea." Irving Thalberg. who, to oo-oper B. Mayer, has kep Magistrate Frank Ford to- ay, and was ordered held In cus- ody. of the police until the pen- Ity had been settled.

The charge against the youth was filed by Mrs, Kate Jaco of Bloomer Drive on behalf of her laughter, 17, it was said. Court ttaches said that -he complato- nt stated her daughter bad urrvped the automobile of Vllson suffering Injury which re- ulred attention of a physician. The plea of.guilty by Wilson offset necessity of a trial and hence no testimony was called for to -curt. This warrant against Wilson had been served by police pa- olman last night, chief Reno said, and the incident complained occurred on Thursday evening Early last June Wilson got into difficulties when an automobile he and another youth were riding crashed into a light wire pole, breaking It off and Incidentally destroying a mail box. Charges Assault In another case heard by Jus- Ice Ford today, C.

L. Hill charged hat Walter Bohannan, George Holmes and George Moore committed assault and battery by attacking him in the Brown auto mobile sales room at 1608 East Broadway last Monday evening.

Snail Kills Snake That Invades Pool COUNCIL BLUFFS, Aug. 13, 5 The snail is proverbially the slowest animal thing in existence.

But W. O. Lang has one which, to one instance at least, performed admirably as a watchdog. The snail, Percrval, by name, is just about the sizze of a 26 cent piece and lives in Lang's Illy pool. When an 18 Inch garter snake happened along and wanted to play -with the goldfish Perclval climbed on and took a healthy grip.

Would-BeRobbers 3f Brighton Bank Were Lost on Road Bandit Car Seen When Trio Changed Route In Flight Had pursuers found the trail of the pair who attempted, without success, to rob the Brighton State 3ank, Wednesday afternoon, a gun battle or a capture might have resulted. The bandits not only became lost on a dirt road in then- efforts to ose themselves from possible pursuers, but actually cornered themselves once during their flight, It was disclosed today by Mrs. Charles Bartlett, who resides a short dls- off Bethany road In Godfrey township.

"I was driving out to the road from our farm here Wednesday afternoon," Mrs. Bartlett said 'when I saw what I believed to be bandits' car. "The road from our place goes over one particularly steep rise, and I always take precautions here because I know someone approaching from the other side would be unable to see me, and the road is narrow. "As I had seen another car approaching from a distance when I topped another hill before reaching the high one, I stopped my car near the high hilltop, pulling clear off the road into the ditch. Sped Over Hilltop "Before long the car sped over the hilltop.

I on tKe road afld Pronr what; I remember, the" car 'was of a light color, and I think the drivers wore white caps. 1 A few minutes later, she said, members of her family who had remained at home saw the car speed Into the driveway on the place. When it reached the barnyard, the driver whirled it about quickly and drove back out, apparently continuing on to Seminary which would take him to Alton. Mrs. Bartlett believed the bandits had made the mistake in the first place, of turning into Bethany road they burg road, which is oiled.

This was the belief of Frank Dayton, a farmer whose place abuts on the Bartlett property and faces the Fosterburg road, which runs parallel to Bethany lane. Dayton was walking along the Fosterburg road Wednesday afternoon when a large car roared up to him, and, its brakes screaming, stopped Asked Directions "Where d'ya turn on the, Seminary road," the driver accosted him hurriedly. Dayton told him where to make the turn, and the car roared away It contained only the driver, who Dayton believed, was waiting for the other pair with the idea oi picking them up so they coulc leave behind the car seen to Brighton. Deputy Sheriff Fred Miller at Brighton said today he had seen a car answering the description of that driven by the bandits in Alton Thursday, as It turned onto the bridge. He said he called police to an effort to have it stopped.

Roosevelt Sits Quiet Bows in Courtesy to High Challenges Proceedings ALBANY, N. Aug.

13, The courts, and not Governor Roosevelt may have the last word in the Walker case. That the defense Intends to turn to the courts if the governor's decision Is against Mayor Walker has been indicated by the legal exceptions taken to two of Mr. Roosevelt's ulings at the hearing in the ex- cutlve chamber on the charges gainst the mayor.

Curin, Walker's attorney, took excep- lons yesterday on both these grounds. There was no hint as to how uch an appeal would be taken. Point Never Interpreted Legal steps to restrain the rnor from entertaining the Sea- ury charges against the mayor from ousting already lave been taken by George Donnelly, a home rule advocate, on the ground that the governor has no to sit to judgment. It to lased on the fact that the state onstltutlon does not say specifIcal- that the governor shall have the power to remove the mayor of a city. The constitution says merely hat cities shall have the power to adopt local laws relating, among other things, to the "mode of selection and removal" of their officials.

However, a special provision New York City charter, believed based on this part of constitution, brings the mayor and; commissioner of police under the law; as It-relates to the removal of county officials, on which the constitution is very specific.
