' GENEVA, Aug. 23. (AP) A
heavy thunderstorm and drenching
rain tonight led to the dispersal, at
least temporarily, of a large crowd
outside of the American consulate
gathered in protest against the
Sacco-Vanzetti executions. Most
of the members of the mob fled in
to doorways for shelter.
The buildings in which the
American consulate is situated was
completely occupied tonight by
some 300 police and detectives
Beginning late this afternoon the
police made their headquarters at
the .stock exchange on the ground
floor. Firemen attached two hose
lines to a hydrant in front of the
building, v
Attempt to Force Lines
With nightfall a-big crowd slow
ly congregated, some real mani-
festants as well as many curious
bystanders.
Suddenly the leading rioters be
gan an attempt to force the police
lines ' shouting imprecations
against the United States.
A police captain called upon them
to disperse. . The challenge was
refused whereupon the police
charged 'and arrested about a doz
en persons. At the same time the
firemen turned streams of water
on the mob and caused it to fall
back but hot to disperse.
The consulate was closed this
afternoon as a precautionary
measure, when Hugh R. Wilson,
American minister to Switzerland,
who fs here for. the international
transit conference and S. Pinkney
Tuck, American consul, agreed
that it would be unfair to ask em-
ployes to enter and leave the
building.

GYPSIES TRAVEL
IN DELUXE CARS
GROUP STOPS AT CITY HALL
TO "PAY RESPECTS"
Sheriff from Eugene Calls too, but
Finds Suspicions
Misplaced
If Salem people have visions
o gypsies as travelling in horse
drawn vans, with picturesque can
vas tops, they had plenty of op
portunity for disillusionment yes
terday afternoon, when two loads
of the colorful tribe parked in
front of the city hall for three
hours.
About a dozen of them, more or
less, filled the Lincoln sedan and
the Cadallac toaring car which
carried them and their equipment
in modern fashion. And as
though their modern means of
travel made them an even greater
object of curiosity, a crowd of
local people stopped to watch
them, to inspect their car, and
their bright trappings.
Their visit to the city hall was
not because of any desire to pay
their respects to the city offi
cials, but because Sheriff .Taylor,
of Eugene, had telephoned the
local police department that some
gypsies in cars had held up a Eu
gene man, and robbed hm of
5300. The two carloads, arriv
ing in Salem shortly after, were
held on suspicion. While Sheriff
Taylor made a hurried trip to j
this city. , . j
Upon his arrival at 5 o'clock j
yebterday afternoon he declared j
that the gypsies held were not the j
ones wanted, and they went on j
their way. j

The school board, which has
been meeting every two weeks, all
summer, caring for the details-
and there are more than most
people imagine of putting things
in shape for the coming school
year, last night tor the first time
failed to have a quorum present
at its meeting.
Directors Neer and Simeral,
a'nd Clark Burghardt, were the on
ly members of the board present.
They were outnumbered hy the
salesmen and reporters and oth
ers interested in the action of the
board, who were there.
Phone a3 they might, the other
members of the board could not
be reached, so that just one more
could be there to make a quorum.
Nothing could be done except to
adjourn to meet Thursday night.
And so will come September 19,
with its troops and scores and
hundreds of children and youths
heading toward Sa.ent' school
buildings, ail clean" and ready for
them.

The situation in Deschutes tim

Following, .the completion of
arguments on! the application of
attorneys for Ellsworth Kelley for
a permanent writ of "habeas cor
pus, Judge L. H. McMahan took
the matter under advisement in
circuit court here Tuesday, and it
Is expected that he will not hand
down a decision for : several days.
Willis Moore, assistant attorney
general, concluded the arguments
by replying at length to the con
tention advanced by Martin L.
Pipes, counsel for Kelley, that his
client was detained illegally in the
penitentiary and was within his
lawful rights when he attempted
to shoot' his way out of the Institu
tion. The assistant attorney general
argued that even though Kelley
had been sent to the penitentiary
under a faulty commitment It was
pot possible for him to obtain re
lief through a habeas corpus pro
ceeding. He said any question In
volving the unconstitutionality of
the statute under Which Kelley
originally was sent to the peni
tentiary should have been raised
at the time of the trial.
"The only question before Judge
McMahan," said Attorney Moore,
"is whether the court in which
Kelley was tried, convicted and
sentenced to be banged for first
degree murder; had competent
jurisdiction."
Attorney Pipes had previously
argued that, the-statute under
