FAMILY
ROW
OVER
PURSE IS SETTLED
Husband Appears and Wife
Declines to Prosecute.
FAY TOMBLIN IS RELEASED
Missing Man Ascertained In Attempt
to Ont Patrolman Who Rented
House From Mrs. Tomblln.
The woes of Fay TonVblin, charged
Ty Mrs. Fay Tomblin -with having
stolen the family purse and migrated
to parts unknown, came to an end in
municipal court yesterday, when the
larceny charge was dismissed on mo
tion dT the complaining witness.
The cue was one of peculiar quirks,
according to Richard Deich, deputy dis
trict attorney. Tomblin was sought on
. warrant sworn to by his wife, dated
February 25, for the larceny of 300.
one-half of the sum earned by the
couple In mutual toil in the lumber
camps. It Is eald. Police reported that
the accused had left for Mexico, 'and
declared their inability to serve the
warrant.
Patrolman Told to Vacate.
Meantime, Mrs. Tomblin, so the story
runs, hard pressed- for cash, rented their
east side residence to Patrolman La
thrope, of the police bureau. On the
day that Detective Captain Circle re
ported Tomblin as unattainable, the
missing husband walked up to the La
thrope home and ordered the patrol
man to vacate, saying that he desired
to occupy the house. Shortly before,
Mrs. Tomblin had indicated that she
wished to dismiss the case, but had not
formally withdrawn the warrant.
Patrolman Lathrope came to Deputy
District Attorney Deich for friendly
counsel. He had made improvements
on the property and was loath to yield
his lease. When he mentioned the name
of Fay Tomblin, the prosecutor bright
ened. "By gosh, we want that man,"
laughed Mr. Deich. "When he calls
again, bring him in."
The following day Tomblin called
again at the Lathrope home and re
peated his demand that the patrolman
move his household goods. Asked to
visit the police station on the old war
rant, he expressed complete agreement,
saying that he had a burning desire to
give the prosecutor a "piece of his
mind."
Wife Obtain Rrlraiw.
"Well, you're here," said Diech, when
Tomblin confronted him. "Now, go as
far as you like. I believe you said that
you wanted to 'clean me. There's no
time like the present."
Tomblin raged, according to Mr.
Deich, and dared the prosecutor to ar
rest him on the warrant. Detective Lee
Ackerman was summoned and the war
rant was served. He spent several
hours in a cell before Mrs. Tomblin
reached the ear of Municipal Judge
Rossman, declared her unwillingness to
prosecute, and secured his release.
Yesterday afternoon Tomblin ap
peared in municipal court, when the
charge of larceny was formally dis
missed on motion of the complaining
witness, his wife,
rw-.,:
BARRED-DOORS CASES OFF
ACTION'S PENDING IX MUNICI
PAL. COURT DISMISSED.
(Judge Kavanaugh's Decision Is Sup
ported' by Attorneys, Yet Re
. gret Is Expressed.
Dismissal of cases against 62 viola
tors of the barred-door ordinance, ar
rested in wholesale raids through the
north end, came at the close of Wednes
day afternoon's session of municipal
court, in conformance and compliance
with the decision rendered on Tues
day by Circuit Judge Kavanaugh, hold
ing the ordinance to be unconstitu
tional.
Sentiment in municipal court circles
appears to support Judge Kavanaugh's
decision, though there is manifest re
gret that the city is deprived of one
means whereby the gambling evil
might be checked. The barred door
and spy hole, with its secret passage
and gaming tables, which become in
nocent articles of furniture while the
police are hammering for admission
has always proved the obstacle to se
curing evidence and convictions.
"There is no question but that Judge
Kavanaugh's position is correct," said
Deputy City Attorney Stadter, who
prosecuted the majority of gambling
rases under the city ordinances, "but
It would seem that there should be
some restriction placed upon the barred
door. Jn my opinion it should be di
rected against the Chinese and other
foreign elements, thus lopping off
large portion of the possibility of law
infraction.
Recent raids by the police, who en
tered the north end in squads, re
sulted in the removal of truck loads
of doors which were not In conform
ance with the ordinance, and in the
arrest of more than 50 proprietors.
The majority of these were Chinese.

RANCHER, 1LUJS SUICIDE
Ed F. Jones of Lane County Shoots
Self and Leaves Note.
COTTAGE GROVE. Or.. May 22.
Special ) Despondent because of con
tinued ill-health, Ed F. Jones, a ranch
' er of the Mosby creek country for 40
years, committed suicide Tuesday aft-
ernoon by shooting himself through the j
breast with a .32-caliber rifle. He left
a note saying: "Don't blame nobody but
me. The funeral was held today.
Mr. Jones had been down to the Ha
mant ranch In the forenoon and spent
part of the forenoon with his son,
Floyd, who has charge of the Stewart
& Porter ranch, near there. He ate
dinner at the home of his son, leav
ing the house with his son at about
1 o'clock, afterwards saying that he
would go on home. He had the gun
with him all this time, but nothing in
his actions indicated that he intended
to kill himself. Mr. Jones later went
to the old Jones homestead, upon which
they had not been living for some time.
When Floyd Jones reached home and
found that his father had not arrived,
he began a search, going to the old
lanch. The body was found at 7 o'clock,
although It was evident from an ex
amination that the fatal shot had been
fired at about 4 o'clock.
Mr. Jones came here from Virginia
and had been married about 40 years.
The widow and the following children
survive: Mrs- Thena Miller, Floyd. An
na, Cleve, Archie. Mrs. Dollie Watts
and Mrs. Virgie Rissue. All live In
this section except Anna, who is a resi
dent of Portland, and Cleve, who is In
the regular army, now stationed at Ft.
Lawton, Wash.

Taken by Wilson.
'In spite of all messacren that s,w,A

LL. D., D. D., of Texas and Tennessee.
who spoke Wednesday night in White
Temple under the auspices of the Anti-
Saloon league.
'President Wilson made a crave mis
take When he took his recent ntanH r.r
the war prohibition question. Ae is set

Landrith. "The United States, havinc
won prohibition, will surrender to no
boozer, brewer or politician. If Amer
ica says to her uniformed men, "You
can't drink,' -she should not want her
men out of uniform to keep the liquor
traffic going. The man who does not
wear the uniform is a contemptible cur
if he does take liquor.
Dr. Landrith had for his subject, "A
Dry World by 1930." He spoke optimis
tically of the future and predicted that
prohibition, hand in hand with decency,
will win.
"I believe in the good things Mr. Wil
son has done and I have followed him.

present move of the president a blun
