T71F EVENING ST AR, WASHINGTON, D. C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1930. BEAUTY SHOP HEAD DEFIES RACKETEERS Man Who Threatened Him Unless “Dues” Were Paid Is Jailed. B the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 11.—The agi- tation against racketeers had drawn quick fire today in the arrest of Louis Baer after he had attempted to in- terest a beauty shop owner in a “na- tlonal association.” Baer confessed, naming “Tubby” Walsh, known as a racketeer, as his superior. Jones Demar, the beauty shop owner, said Baer approached him yesterday and sought to force him to join the “National Beauty Parlor Association.” “It'll cost you $25 to join,” he quoted Baer as saying, “and there will be monthly dues. We'll let you know how much it will be. You'd better make up your mind in & hurry. Tl be back in the morning for the $25. We've got Tubby Walsh in charge and he’ll pro- tect you if you're ‘right.” If you are not ‘right’ you'll get what some of the other shop owners have been getting— T guess you know what that is.” Demar took it that Baer referred to the three beauty shop bombings of the past week. The grand jury, charged by Chiet Justice McGoorty With the job of prob- ing rackets in Chicago, will hear its first witnesses tomorrow. One witness will be Col. Robert I. Randolph, presi- dent of the Assoclation of Commerce and head of the secret “Committee of Six” which has been investigating Chi- cago crime. AMERICAN DANCER SETS PARIS LEGAL PRECEDENT Hal Sherman Wins Court Contest With Theatrical Agency Over Salary Commission. PARIS (Special).—Hal Sherman, the American eccentric dancer, has won a suit against a Paris theatrical agency and thereby set a legal precedent. Some time ago the agency obtained for Sherman a contract with divers Ber- lin theaters at a salary of $216 a day. One of these theateys closed suddenly, and the dancer refused to pay the cus- tomary commission of 10 per cent to the agency, which thereupon attached his_effects. Hal Sherman brought suit to nullify the attachment and also for damages, while the agency entered a counter- claim for its commission. The dancer based his case on a police ordinance of 1928, which regulates employment agencies, forbidding them to charge any fee to the employe for whom employ- ment is found. The defendants re- torted that a theatrical agency is reality an impresoria and cannot be compared with a domestic servant bureau. The court found for Sherman, hold- ing that a theatrical agency, in the eyes of the law, does not differ from any other employment bureau, but it re- fused to grant damages. 4,000 AFRIDI ASSEMBLE Raiding Force Gathering for Heavy Attack on British. SIMLA, India, September 11 (#).—A raiding force of 4,000 hostile tribesmen was reported today to be gathering for a heavy attack against British troops along the Afghan frontier in the region of Peiwar, British airplanes reconnoitering there recently have been heavily fired upon. but suffered no casualties. Pickets of native troops and militia have been in- volved in skirmishing or sniping activi- ties, several being wounded. The tribesmen in Peiwar are still recelving reinforcements. Their activi- ties continued to cause uneasiness to British authorities, e Canoe or Coffin? Argued. Archeologists of Scotland are arguing as to whether a rough hollow log of black oak, six feet long, found 25 feet below the normal level of Loch Trieg is an ancient canoe or coffih. Tests showed that it would float on the lake, but the length makes the coffin-contin- gent adamant in their arguing. Any- how, both say it is a valuable find.
