sumed his honeymoon which was
interrupted 13 years ago, and his
fiction writing which was suppres
sed by Folsom prison authorities.

year sentence lor bank robbery He
emerged Into a world from where
he was banished as a public enemy
In 1924 to find himself a literary
figure of note.
He began writing after he was Im
prisoned and found, he said, that
it was "a better racket than steal
ing, so why steal any more?
His stories included "Ladles of
the Mob." which was made into a
motion picture starring Clara Bow;
'Stealing Through Life, and We
Rob a Bank." They were stories
of crime, criminals and prisons and
were publicized by Henry u Menc
ken of the magazine American Mercury.
At his cottage here, his wife Val-
verne Booth was waiting. They
were married the day Booth was
arrested for a bank robbery at Oak
land.
For her, Booth had a glowing
tribute.
I Just want to say that in these
days of quick advance and cheap
deceit, here is the woman who has
shown unusual loyalty and devo
tion. Thanks to her I ara on parole
today. If It were not fur her, I
might be dead now, killed In an at
tempt to break prison.'
in an attempt to escape during
the early days ox his confinement,
Booth was crippled for life. He
made a rope of blankets and was
sliding down from the prison hos
pital ward when another convict cut
the rope and let him drop two stor
ies. Both his legs were broken.
He had been suffering from pul
monary tuberculosis and that Illness
was a contributing factor in his
parole.

CHINESE NATION
Turin, Italy, Aug. 25 m Alberto
de Stefanl, former Italian minister

cial advisor to the Chinese govern
ment, predicted today that the
present Slno-Japanese conflict
would end United States and Eur
opean "special privileges" In China
and bring a united Chinese nation.
This united nation, he said, might
conceivably Join with Japan to
carry out the principle of "Asia for
the Asiatics."
Professor de Stefanl telegraphed
his predclt'on to the newspaper La
Stampa of Turin from the steamer
Victoria, on which he is en route
from China to Italy.

"has been greatly improved."

FOOD-HANDLERS
BILL DELAYED
Klamath Palls, Aug. 25 W
Klamath Falls' food-handler crisis
was checked for mt least a month
Monday night when the city council
voted to postpone enforcement of a
new ordinance requiring semi-annual
physical examinations tor but
chers, grocery clerks, restaurant
workers and others from Septem
ber 1 until October 1.
Previously, members of the But
chers' union and the Culinary al
liance had threatened to strike
September 1 rather than pay the

lers object, the council believed. A
meeting of representatives of the&a
groups, the health board and the
council was called for September
15.
