Carleton, navy deserter, charged with the murder of Robert McGee, special police officer, loomed today when the district attorney's office notified the police that the confession of Jeanne Carleton, the accused man's bride, accusing him as the slayer, could not be used in court action against him.

She is held by the police. Another woman, Miss Irene Schwartz, said to be known as Rene Garson also is held by the officers in connection with the crime. In her story to the police, the Schwartz girl told of how she and Carleton went to the receiving hospital immediately after the gun battle, mingled with officers there and inquired of how seriously the two officers had been wounded.

Ordinance will be adopted next Wednesday so as to get it adopted before Jan. 1. It provides licenses practically every line of business and profession with severe penalties for failure to pay. The oil zone ordinance was adopted. A large number of citizens appeared to protest at assessments paving recently completed by Griffith Co. The original contract was for 20.5 cents, making real cost with incidentals 21.7 fewer, assessments made on the lineal or running front instead of the square foot. This made the man who lived a narrow street pay as much front foot as the man on the street. Manager O.E. Steward and paving company's counsel denied a supreme court decision armed this method of assessment correct when several streets are paid at the same time, it being considered a district. The court decision in point involved streets closely connected. Only of the several streets involved is adjointed.

Staff Correspondent) BERLIN, Nov. 23.—Chancellor Stresemann resigned as head of the German government this afternoon and his cabinet fell with him. The resignation followed the failure of the reichstag to give him a vote of confidence. The Stresemann cabinet was formed Oct. 5, although the chancellor himself had been in offices before Socialists forced a reorganization to include a greater proportion of their members on the cabinet. Dr. Stresemann, as leader of the powerful German people's party of which Hugo Stinnes is a member, came into power last August upon the resignation of Chancellor Cuno. He represented much the same theories as Cuno, but was more liberal and for a time held together the warring factions in the reichstag. Official denial was made at the embassy of reports that any change in the government would cause the immediate return to Ambassador Weideldt to Berlin. "The ambassador," it was stalled, "has received no official advises from Berlin for the last 24 hours, and will continue his duties here as usual, pending word from President Ebert, or wherever is named to take charge of the government." When the news of the Stresemann's resignation was communicated to the White House by International News Service newspaper men who had assembled there for their weekly conference with President Coolidge, were told by an official White House spokesman that the president viewed the collapse of the German government with concern, but that he would have no comment to make. WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—News of the collapse of the Stresemann government in Berlin caused great surprise and anxiety in diplomatic and official circles here this afternoon.

The persons arrested were H. J. Sherman, George Franklin, Herbert Gardner and Charles Eggers. The Green Mill was raided on the first night it reopened at a new location on the outskirts of Culver City. ROTH AT LIBERTY ON $5000 BONDS LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23.—More indictments against Herman L.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.—News of the collapse of the Stresemann government in Berlin caused great surprise and anxiety in diplomatic and official circles here this afternoon.
