LOS ANGELES, November 13.—Three persons who played leading roles in the Aimee Semple McPherson conspiracy case here two years ago were reported to have been ordered to appear today before the Los Angeles County grand jury investigating charges of corruption in the office of District Attorney Asa Keyes. It was"understood that the trio would | be questioned about evidence unearthed indicating that a large sum of money was. spent in clearing the Angelus Tem- ple evangelist of a charge of conspiracy to defeat justice by telling an alleged false story to a grand jury about her disappearance in 1926. Mother Is Summoned. The three persons reported called were Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, mothar of the evangelist. who has been at odds with her daughter for some months; Kenneth G. Ormiston, former radio op- erator at Angelus Temple, who was al- leged tc have occupied a cottage at Carmel, Calif., with the evangelist dur- ing her absence. and Mrs. Lorraine Wisemann-Sielaff, the “Miss X” of the disappearance case, who said it was she and not Mrs. McPherson who was in Carmel with Ormiston. The present phase of the McPherson case was begun when documents given to newspaper men by Mrs. Kennedy were presented to the grand jury, which re- cently returned indictments charging bribery against Keyes. The exact na- ture of these documents has not been revealed, though it is understood they have & bearing on the disappearance case, Investigators here yesterdav read without comment the " dispatch from England saying Mrs. McPherson had branded as utterly untrue charges that Keyes tock money from her or her asso- ciates to drop the charges against “I imagine it is some sort®of polit- fcal dodge.” the evangelist told revort- ers at Bristol, England. where she is completing an evangelistic campaign. Mrs. McPherson left here about Sep- tember for a European visit. Keyes in Court Today. G Keves, with seven other indicted ver- sons, has been ordered to court today to enter a plea to the indictments charg- ing him with corruption and bribery in handling other criminal cases. Outwardly, Keyes is out of politics. He resigned from office some weeks ago with the explanation that he believed he had completed a faithful life of pub- lic service ‘and wanted to devote his time to his family. The resignation takes effect December 5. HUSBAND HELD IN THEFT. Wife Charges Alleged Actor With Stealing Her Jewels. SAN FRANCISCO. November 13 (#). —Robert Lamar, alias Robert Laruh, Wwho says he is a motion picture actor, was arrested here yesterday on a charge of stealing his wife's jewelry. The_ complaining ~witness, formerly Miss Frances Jane Curtis of Coving- ton. Ky., said she met Lamar on a train. Although engaged to another man. she agreed to wed Lamar. The ceremony was performed at Berkeley. A few days Jater. Mrs. Lamar alleged, at a wedding party in San Francisco, her husband excused himself. He did not come back. The bride said her Jjewels disappeared at the same time. Lamar was arrested in Utah with an- other wife, formerly Miss Anne Peter- son of Ogden. The honest man avoids the woes that every lawless pilgrim knows. At intervals he calmly stops, exchanging greetings awith the cops; they are his friends, he does not fear that they will grasp him by the ear, and lead him to the donjon keep, the harvest of his sins to reap. The rascal shudders and his knees grow wobbly when a cop he sees: he may be innocent just now of stealing some one’s goat or cow, but he is known as one whose crimes were frequent in the bygone times, and if there’s been a late offense the cops will doubt his innocence and bore him with a lot of hints concerning deadly finger prints. The honest man he goes to bed without a sentiment of dread; a thousand noises may arise while res ful night involves the skies, but they will not disturb the wight whose con- sclence is exactly right. He hasn't stolen some one's shoes, he hasn't sold illicit booze, he hasn't swiped the widow's hen or swindled any trusting men. He plays the game while he’s awake, and now, until the day shall break, he slumbers like a house afire, he has the rest good men desire. Alas for one whose life is wrong: the night to him.seems three months long. And every step upon a stair will chill his heart and raise his hair; he hears the rustling of a tree, and sighs, “The cops are after me!” Throughout the weary night he feels the cops draw closer to his heels. There is no peace for any crook; he can't sit down and read a book, consume a meal or sing a psalm or eat a bowl of damson jam, without the thought distracting, grim, that hard-boiled cops are after him.

Chance, actively in charge of | the financial canvass, meeting, and Huston Thompson, presi- dent of the board of trustees of the “Y,” and William Knowles Cooper, its general secretary, spoke briefly of the need ‘for the appeal, to clear up the deficit in the budget by January 1, so that the institution may enter the community chest plan without defi- ciences. ! Mr. Cooper explained that the appeal has the sanction of officials in charge of the community chest pian, and that the deficiency of $32,500 was caused largely by the social service, religious | and boys’ department activities of the “Y." other departments being largely self-supporting. * ‘Team captains reported contributions to date as follows: L.

That's what thousands of delighted owners say about the Electrolux. And what a jolt the Electrolux hands former ideas about household refrigeration. Noise, wear, vibration, oiling, mechanical trouble, high operating cost—such things simply don’t exist with an Electrolux. Just light the tiny gas flame once and you have continuous cold, plenty of ice cubes at all times. The cold is produced by a simple phys- ical action which takes place in an endless cycle as the heat and the water alternately act upon a refrigerating liquid. Should the flame ever go out for any reason, no harm is done. The freezing action stops, but so does the gas. It cannot start to flow again until you are ready to light it.
