In his confession to Rathbun, Gar rick asserted he would later reveal the name of the San Francisco railroad of ficial who was mulcted by the black mailers. The Los Angeles stockbroker who was enmeshed in the net spread by the blackmailers, according to Garrick, was Frederick A. Stock, ex-president of the Canadian Building & Loan Association. The "lures" used by Jirka, says Gar rlck, were Doris Byrne and Miss Peggy Reed, of Cedar Rapids. la., now under arrest in Chicago, accused as principals in the extortionists' ring.

"It was at a party, one of those present being Frank Junkerman, a Cedar Kaplds, la., druggist, who was later blackmailed by the band. We, Jirka and the girls. Miss Byrne and Miss Reed, came to San Francisco in the early part of August. We stayed at the Hotel St. Francis. While at the-hotel this man telephoned to a big railroad man and insisted on an appointment In the hotel lobby. What came to pass I do not know, but afterward the members of the ring told me that 'everything had been arranged satisfactorily." Later we went to Los Angeles and She girls went with us. "The closest I came to getting any money out of the ring's transactions was at San Diego. I went with one of the men now accused of being a mem ber of the blackmailing band to Stock's home. 1 was present when Stock turned over two notes, one for $2000 and the other for $1000. I was to have had the note for $1000, but it was taken from ine. I never received a cent." Garrick told Rathbun tonight that he was the only son of a wealthy manu facturer near Chicago. He refused other information concerning his rela tives, saying that he Intended to stand alone In his present trouble. NEW COMEDIAN APPEARS ED ARMSTRONG JOINS THE BAKER STOCK MUSICAL COMPANY.

"And this is not all Old Glory says. No; not by any means. Each star, stripe and our blue field has its own story of the history of the United States, our country, and when you know more about Old Glory you will be glad to be living in these states." In another part of her essay she said: "Patriotism should be taught in the schools. There should not be a school without Old Glory floating over it.
