Hollywood Called Mecca of ‘Racketeering Servants

Movie Stars Are Prey of Employes Who Plot Many Crimes. Btv Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 19.—Hollywood’s greatest menace is the servant racket. Beside it, all other rackets pale In comparison, reveals Mary Sharon in the current issue of “Talking Screen,” the spokesman of the talking pictures. According to this writer millions of dollars are lost annually through crooked servants and nearly every one of Hollywood's families has been victimized at one time or another, although the affairs are never allowed to reach the newspapers. The screen stars, she says, live in constant terror from this source without being able to discover any remedy, since “as long as there is easy money in Hollywood, the servant racket will thrive and flourish.” “Like flies drawn to a honey cup,” read the “Talking Screen” article, “servants come to Hollywood for the sole purpose of extracting all the sweetness they can from the noveau riche movie stars. Their methods are surprisingly simple and not infrequently successful. Not far from the business district in Beverly Hills is a quaint little allnight restaurant where servants, butlers, secretaries and other employes of film stars foregather. “On Saturday night the place is crow’ded to capacity. To a casual onlooker the little case looks like nothing so much as a rendezvous of a band of thugs or apaches. The atmosphere is foreign and strange. "The habitues speak an argot of their own which is meaningless to the uninitiated. Here black deeds are contemplated and discussed. Countless plots are hatched, ranging all the way from petty thievery and bill-padding to blackmail, arson, kidnaping and murder.” The murderer of William Desmond Taylor, in the opinion of this writer, was one of his servants. Among the other stars, whom she reveals have suffered at the hands of servants are Aileen Pringle, Dorothy Mackaill, Clara Bow, Milton Sills, Stepin Fetchit, Richard Dix and Bebe Daniels. Some of the actual occurrences, she says, are too terrible to print.

Geography Classes Are Given Lessons at Docks

Get First-Hand Knowledge of Imports by Actual Experience. By XEA Service WILMINGTON, Cal., Nov. 19. Students of commercial geography in the Wilmington schools have the most fascinating text-books in the world. Instead of sitting in a stuffy room reciting dusty facts about uninteresting items like imports, exports, trade routes and the like, they go right down to the docks and learn at first hand just what those things are and what they mean. Wilmington is a busy maritime' city fronting on Los Angeles harbor, and in the course of a school year thousands of ships come and go past its piers. Makes Subject Interesting Professor C. W. Welch, instructor in commercial geography in the local schools, decided that this gave him an admirable opportunity to make the subject interesting and instructive to his pupils. He went to the directors of various importing and exporting firms and found them willing to co-oper-ate with him. So, now, he takes his class down to the harbor every few days. They go, for instance, to one of the greatest lumber docks in the world. Explained in Detail They are shown all about. They watch'steamers from the northwest coast unloaf.'ng great piles of planks and It. 'ers, and while they perch on a stack of odorous pine boards Professor Welch tells them how their part of the world gets its lumber supplies—where the wood grows, how it is cut and sawed into marketable lengths, how it is shipped down ty steamer, unloaded

SENATE FIGHTS HOOVERCHOICES Federal Bench Nominees Facing Contests. Bv Scripps-H award Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Having blocked immediate confirmation, an increasing number of senators set out today to try to prevent approval of the nominations of Richard J. Hopkins and Albert L. Watson to the federal bench in the Kansas and middle Pennsylvania districts. Both nominations have hung fire for several months, due to the opposition originally voiced by Attorney General Mitchell, but political pressure forced the sending of their names to the senate. Now, however, several days of debate and discussion of their fitness confront them. Should the senate fail to find time to take up the question of confirmation before the end of the special session, President Hoover would have to send their names to the senate again. Meanwhile, prominent lawyers in Kansas and Pennsylvania are understood to have protested, both to the senate judiciary committee and the White House against their selection.

BLESSED are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heavn. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.—Matthew 5:3-13. ( Compiled bv the Bible O-uild) NEXT: Harry G.

U. S. LISTS 263 AS VICTIMS OF DRYJLAYINGS Ants-Prohibition Leaders Declare Figure Is More Than 1,000. Bv Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—En. forcement of the prohibition law has resulted in 263 deaths, according to federal records, the Association against the Prohibition Aendment said in a statement today Os this number seventy-nine were agents employed in various government services enforcing prohibition and 184 were civilians. The recorded total of 263 is incomplete, the association claims, and estimates that deaths would exceed 1,000 if a thorough canvass were made of records throughout the country. “The total number of deaths perhaps never will be known,” the association said,' “for the non-federal killings are listed variously in the countless localities in which they have occurred.

Killings Are Widespread “They have punctuated the activities of many types of officers, who make up the great Volstead army, stzte enforcement staffs, sheriffs, deputies, state police, municipal police, highway corps, town marshals, village constables, undercover snoopers and even volunteers.” Senator Tydings of Maryland is quoted as estimating Volstead law deaths at 800. The association has analyzed the facts in sixty-six of the 263 recorded deaths. It charges that government reports of fatal shootings are “generally meager” and, in some cases, “biased and actually untrue.” A disposition prevails, it is asserted, to support the federal agents, regardless of the circumstances. Charges Records Biased After an examination of the evidence the association declares that “federal records, on the whole, can not be trusted for fairness and candor,” and asserts that evidence which might discredit on the enforcement service, or increased resentment against the Volstead law, is suppressed. Discussing the failure of the government to exact the usual penalty for “prohibition murders,” the report says: “The death records of the prohibition bureau are sprinkled liberally with cases in which federal agents have been charged with homicide or murder, the federal court intervened, and the defendants have been acquitted. We believe that this practice, while entirely within the law, has not blocked the punishment of reckless shooters.”
