TIBNEXNERTED N SN O Seven in Gypsy Family In- dicted on Charge of Ab- ducting Girl. The District grand jury today gxon- erated Thomas F. Tobin, who had been hed by a coroner’s jury after the killing in a downtown hotel last Sep- tember 15 of Sam Melnicov, well known character in local sporting circles. Bryant McMahon, gambler and racketeer, was also slain in the gun battle in the hotel room. Tobin was arrested after police had been given a description of a man who threw a pistol away in the street a few minutes after the shooting. The gun was found and identified as the death weapon, but its ownership was not traced to Tobin. Seven members of a gypsy family were charged with abduction and vio- lation of the Mann act in connection with the disappearance of 15-year-old Rose Demetro from her home in the | 1800 block of Seventh street last Jan- vary 7. Those indicted are Leo, Alec, El, George, Randolph, Anne and Mikitizer Miller. The Miller family allegedly forcibly | took the girl with them from the Dis- trict to Louisiana and compelled her to submit to immoral practices. The jury ignored a bigamy charge against Albert F. Sturm, manager of Ramon’s Restaurant. The charge was dropped when his first wife, who brought the complaint, said she did not desire to press the charges. Sturm married June Knight Jones last July 3 after obtaining a foreign divorce from his first wife, Elvira.

MISSOURI’S RELIEF ACTIVITIES HALTED State Goes Off Rolls Because' of Failure to Provide Share s of Costs. By the Associated Press. JEFFERSON CITY, May 1—Mis- souri went off the Federal relief rolls at midnight last night because the Legislature failed to provide for financing the State’s “fair share” of relief costs, a: demanded by the F.E. R.A. Last-minute efforts to avert with- WANT MORE FUN o oft % drawal of Federal funds were blocked by Senator Michael E, Casey of Kan- sas City, who wanted “more informa- tion” regarding relief needs before ;ounl:‘ an appropriation of $500,000 L ley, K s “final and definite” word that the F. E. R. A. would grant no further funds to Missouri “until further ap- prepriation by the Legislature.” Crossley immediately notified all county relief administrations to halt all activities. In the absence of contrary instruc- tions, Missouri relief officials said there was “no doubt” the State was definitely off the relief rolls. Reinstatement, it was believed, de- pends entirely upon legislative com- pliance with F. E. R. A. demands. REALLY BEFORE YOUR EYES o Then wear this shoe during the day.
