EUROPEAN CONSULS
FIGHTING FRAUDS
PARIU, Sept. B.—Since the new
American immigration law went in
to effect, Europe has: seen an out
break of attempted passport frauds.
So great has been the desire to
reach the shores of the United
States, on the part of would-be emi
grants, that they are easv prey for
unscrupulous traffickers in false
documents. Amercan consular offi
cers are engaged in running down
frauds in Warsaw, Berlin, Ham
burg, Brussels and Paris.
A favorite but futile device
among Italians has been the ‘Ar
gentine dodge.” The quota from
this country, into America, is far
from being exhausted. Armed
■with faked Argentine passport, and
a faked birth certificate, purchased
from swindlers at a cost of $250,
many an Italian has seen his hopes
fade rapidly under the expert scru
tiny of American consular officers
CLEVER TRICK IS
WORKED ON ROAD
P4&EDENA, Calif., Sept. 8. —
People who have been using the
Pacific Electric Railway as a me
dium for returning- overdue books
to the public library, in the future
must employ other means of evad
ing the librarian’s fines.
For months the lost and found
department of the railway has beer,
returning to the library books pick
ed up in street cars and buses. The
number gradually grew until one
man’s time was chiefly occupied in
>;♦ turning books from the car
barns. When railway officials
noticed that no one forgot to leave
’any privately owned books on the
ears, they came to the conclusion
that they were being “worked,”
and announced that there would be
no more books returned to the
public library.

ARIZONA VOTES IN
PRIMARY TUESDAY
PHOENIX, Ariz., Sept. B.
Twenty-seven candidates for state
offices, exclusive or presidential
electors, will seek to have their
names placed upon the official bal
lot for the November election at an
all-party primary in Arizona Tues
day.
Only the Republican and Demo
cratic tickets will have official rep
resentation on the primary ballot,
there being no announced candi
dates for any state office on any
other ticket.
Chief interest in the primary
centers in the gubernatorial con
test, where a three-cornored fight
is being waged among the Demo
crats and a two-cornered fight
among the Republicans. The Demo
cratic candidates are George W. P.
Hunt, incumbent governor seeking
re-election; Sidney P. Osborn, for
mer secretary of state, and E. W.
Samuell, former superintendent of
state institutions. The Republican
candidates are Dwight B. Heard,
publisher of the Arizona Republi
can, and Thomas Maddock, former
state engineer.

MERCHANTAHD n
NEGRO IN DUEL
(Continued From Page One)
Sakadelis, thieves have been enter
ing his grocery and soda fountain
near the Seaboard passenger sta
tion recently, stealing small
amounts in cash and an undeter
mined quantity of merchandise on
each occasion. These intrusions were
reported to hte police, and, it is
said, Sakadelis was advised by offi
cers to watch his store closely.
Saturday night at the usual clos
ing hour Sakadelis closed his
doors and remained inside th e build
ing. Shortly after midnight he
heard a widnow open and Williams
appeared in the store. Stealthily
the negro groped his way in the
darkness toward the cash register
which he had nearly reached when
Sakadelis commanded him to halt.
Williams apparently heeded the
command, and Sakadelis moved to
th e telephone, preparing to notify
police headquarters of his capture.
As he lowered his gun, Williams
fired the bullet striking Sakadelis
in the abdomen. Although stun
ned T>y the bullet Sakadelis regain
ed his shotgun and fired, the charge
striking Williams and causing
death. Williams, as he fell, fired
another shot at Sakadelis, and his
weapon was found beside th e body
when Officer Curtis, summoned by
the wounded merchant, reached the
scene.
The dead negro was formerly em
ployed at the Americus fire depart
ment, and recently served as chauf
feur for a well-known family here,
having been considered a fairly
trustworthy negro by those who
knew him. It is now believed the
negro had led a double life during
years, serving whites faithfully dur
ing the day and at night being a
thief and burglar.
Officer Curtis, who is regularly
assigned to traffic duties, answer
ed the phone at headquarters, and
when informed of the shooting
by Sakadelis went immediately
there, leaving -a fireman to secure
other information over the phone
from the wounded Greek merchant.
He reached the scene within a few
minutes after the killing occurred
and was instrumental in summoning
medical assistance for the wound
ed man. When Sakadelis phoned
headquarters he knew nothing of
the condition of his antagonist and
being himself wounded feared fur
ther shooting might ensue.
