Abraham Kalmus, York City, former serving Rabbi resident of New as gogue, Fifth and I streets, has appealed to the police through J. Weitz, 633 Princeton street, for an investigation of an alieged swindle perpetrated upon him this week, resulting in_his losing $20, minus the price of halr cuts for his two boys. “Harry M. Cohen’ gained the rabbi's confidence. At the Kalmus home, 458 M street, Wednesday, he represented himself to be superintendent of Union Station and offered to appoint the rabbi’s two sons messengers for the Summer vacation. Rabbi Kalmus, anxious to keep his boys busy during the vacation period, was pleased with the offer and did not demur at uniforms at §9 each. Hair cuts for the boys, the stranger urged, would make them appear more pre- sentable, and the father agreed they should visit a barber shop. The barber was paid for his serv- jces in advance, and while he was still busily engaged at his work “Cohen’ said he was going to a neigh- borhood store for cigarettes, the police were told. “Better said to the boys. g give me the money,” he “You might lose ohen” is still looking for the sigarettes, so far as Rabbi Kalmus knows.

Discussing the recent Spain of Louls Malvy, ex-minister of the interior, Premier Painleve said: “An aecord with our neighbors is about to be reached, but one must not be premature about it.”* France desires Spanish permission for French troops to pursue Abd-el- Krim tribesmen, mission to who have invaded French territory, into the Spanish zone.
