Associated Press i JICAGO, July 22.—George Cohen, nalleged jewel thicf held by the New York police, may be given an oppor- tunity to make good his boast of in- formation concerning crime conditions here. A search of police records here after Cohen had told the New York authorities that he had jumped a| $20,000 bond here, led the State's at. torney's office to believe that he is one of two men indicted for the shoot- ing of Policeman Frank Malone, in an attempted holdup. Police are searching for the trunk Cohen was reported to have shipped to Chicago, and which, the New York police believe, contained part of the loot of a recent $50,000 jewel robbery.

ENTERTAINS 13000 Garden Party Attended by Motley Throng—101 Amer- icans Are Present. By the Associated Pre LLONDON, July King 1 Queen Mary today gave a royal ¢ in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, to which 13,000 guests had been invited. There were 101 Americans among the thousands who sipped tea at what proved to be the largest and most representative of royal parties since the coronation it- self. As virtually all of the guests invited came, the six-acre gardens of the palace, set off by trees, shrubbery and small lakes, were a -scene of one of the most brilllant functions in the history of British royalty. Among the Americans present were: Dr. and Mrs. Nicholas Murray But- ler of New York, Brig. Gen. and Mrs. Lincoln C. Andrews, Admirals Roger |- R. Wells, Hilary P. Jones and Arthur L. Willard, Prof. and Mrs. Henry Fairfield Osborn of New York, Mr. and Mrs. oswald Garrison Villard and Miss Mariquita Villard of New York, Col. and Mrs. Grayson' Murphy of New York, Mrs. Sheldon Whitehouse. wife of the counselor of the American Embassy at Paris; Allen Hoover, son of Secretary of Commerce, Herbert Hoover; Ruth Draper, Jane Cowl, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman of New York and Mrs. James Corrigan. Although the sun shone only at intervals, the woman guests wore the latest Summer creations and the men morning coats. The 3-hour party was most informal, the only suggestion of formality being on the appearance of their majesties, who greeted the diplomatic corps first and then “held court.”” Their majesties shook hands with thousands of their guests and afterward strolled through the gar- dens unattended. The royal party included the Duke and Dutchess of York, Princess Mary, Prince Henry, the Duke of Connaught and the Prince and Princess Arthur of Connaught. Ruling princes of India and Salvation Army lassies were among the guests, who were drawn from all classes of society, in- cluding ~statesmen, soldiers, labor men, peers, scholars and social workers. One of the most interesting sights for the Americans was to see the King ‘handle his tea cup and slender bits of buttered toast with much grace and no incovenience despite the white gloves which he always wears on these occasions. - AR GERMANS DESERT LEGION. 26 in Munich Said to Have Been Drafted by French.

By the Astociated Prees LAKE CHARLES, La., July 22.—A rule to show cause why Rev. George ‘W. Clarke should not be restrained by preliminary injunction from occupying the pulpit of the First Baptist Church of Lake Charles, from officiating as the pastor thereof, and from maintain- ing the possession of the property of the church has been issued here.

SARAJEVO, Jugoslavia, July 22.— Twelve years have gone by since the crime that precipitated the world con- flict was committed in Sarajevo, but the little Bosnian town remains as ob- scure and unpretentious as it was in the days when it was under the Turks. It has slept throughout the 12 years of Europe's reconstruction, uncon- scious of the mighty part it played in the war which left several nations in ruins. From the tops of its “‘ninety- and-nine” minarets Turkish muezzins still call the faithful to prayer, while thousands of unbellevers do their daily tasks in the bazaars. The only evidence the American traveler finds that the Austrian Arch- duke - Franz Joseph was murdered here is a small tablet on a building near which the Austrian noble was shot down. American tourists invari- ably take out their cameras and photograph the spot. 5 The little River Mijacka, whose pla-' cid waters were stained with the drip- ping blood of the slain duke, winds its peaceful way into the valley beyond, | oblivious of the fact that its name is | mentioned in a thousand histories in | connection with the assassination of | the heir to the Austrian throne. The people of the town seem lethar- Sleepy Sarajevo Accepts Its Fame, : As Origin Point of War, Indifferently gic, indifferent and indolent. Many of thém are Moslems who, unaffected by Turkey’s example, still wear the time- honored fez prescribed by Mahomet. ‘They sit in their dimunitive bazaars, legs crossed, inscrutable and imper- turbable, seemingly unmoved by the tide of life and color which goes by. From the street of the coppersmiths comes the rhythmic beating of ham- mers; in the street of the leather- sellers sit the cobler® and shoe mer- chants, serenely plying their trade. Potters, silver filigree workers, carpet ‘weavers, spice merchants, and a host of other trades are represented in the rows of bazaars. Since the former Austrian province of Bosnia-Herzegovina passed ‘over to Jugoslavia, Sarajevo has become in- creasingly attractive as a -tourist center. ¥ Nowhere in Europe does the Amer- ican traveler find such a harmonious blending of East and West. ‘The Mos- lems of the Orient rub elbows with the Westerner of Europe. Peasant ‘women, mounted on donkeys, with distaff in hand, and white-robed camel- tenders, with trains of their faithful beasts of burden following them, make their way slowly through the tortuous streets, while modern Amer. ican motor cars shoot along the prin- cipal thoroughfares. | CANTON BOYCOTT ENDS.

Italian Farm Laborers Battle Fas- ‘cisti Over Ban. MOLINELLI, Italy, July 22 (#). Cancellation of permission to farm laborers to gather grain fragments left after. reaping by the fascist has caused serious con- filets in this region. About 100 farmers and their fam- illes have refused to work in the fleld and are instisting on gleaning despite orders from the Fascist to the con- trary.

Green's alleged misconduct in office was declared to have included the misappropriation- of seized liquor. The grand jury has been called to meet next Monday, a week earlier than ordinarily. Seven attaches of the prohibition administration offices have been subpoenaed thus far. Others who received the grand jury summons included employes, from ex- ecutive to bell boys, at the hotel where Col. Green lives. Although it had been rumored for some time that Col.

He then branded the charges as a frame-u declaring they were brought to pre- vent him from succeeding Gen. Lin- coln C. Andrews, assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in charge of prohibi- tion enforcement, when the Ilatter leaves office. “The investigation, coming at this time, will so discredit me that I now can never get that post,” he sald. “Even If the charges are proved false, no man could hold that office who had ever been under investigation by a grand jury.” Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, special assistant to the United States Attorney General, arrived here Tues- day. It is reported that she will pre- sent the evidence against Col. Green to the grand jury. FORMS COUNCIL OF STATE Greek Premier Announces All|the Plotters Will Be Freed.

Relatively cool weather in some se tions and ttered ;showers yesterda. aided fire fighters in holding the blazes on even terms, although in California, Washington and parts of Ideho as well as southern Canada several fires continued on the rampage, taking their wonted toll of property damage. As the Sheep Creek fire, in Stevens County , Washington, spread across the international boundary into Cana- da, and the Cedar Creek fire was re- ported to be running wild, the west- ern Washington Fire Association warned 150 logging operators that con- ditions were ripe for a renewal of the fire peril. A logging camp of the Columbia River Lumber Company at Golde British Columbia, was destroyed We: nesday and officials had reports that a Canadian fire, covering several thou- sand acres was beginning to encroach on valuable timber lands on the Ameri- can side of the line. A new fire, covering nearly 1,000 acres and out of control 15 miles east of Boise, Idaho, was reported late last night. Gov. C. C. Moore said he was send- ing all available men into the Dag- gett Creek district, where new con- flagrations are threatening many ranch properties. Blazes in the Tahoe, Trinity and Klamath national forests, in Cali- fornia, continued stubbornly to resist the efforts of several thousand fire fighters. ‘The most progress in curbing fires was made in the forests of western Montana and northern Idaho where control lines have been established in the major blazes in the Coeur d'Alene, Pend O'Rellle, Blackfest, Xaniksu, Clearwater and St. Joe national forests. 22.—The continued COTTON PARLEY PLANNED.
