Watches
Continued from p.1
Ernie Cummings, owner of Kizer-Cummings Jewelers. 800 Massachusetts St.. said the phony Rolex watches looked like real ones after a superficial glance.
"The counterfeit manufacturers are not shy," Cummings said. "They stamp the Rolex name right on them, but they're just junk."
He said a novice could tell the difference though. The second hand on a real Rolex runs in a smooth uninterrupted flow, whereas the second hand on the fakes moves with a jerky motion.
Also, he said that only the real ones had serial numbers printed inside.
Several Lawrence jewelers said they frequently saw the fake Rolexes when watch owners brought them in for repairs or new batteries.

have some fun," Charlie said. "We've been dedicated to it. But insurance companies just keep adding it on. We can't cover our expenses any more."

Joyland's liability coverage has doubled in the last year. As much as $65,000 annually has been spent by Joyland for customer liability and workman's compensation, said Jerry Bovles.
"It's a shame," said Larraine Vande Velde, Topeka resident, while watching her young son, Mathew, ride the sailboats in a pool of water.
"We've been coming here for three years," she said. "Mathew really enjoys it here. It's the only thing Topeka offers besides the zoo."
Joyland park started out as an ice cream stand, opened by Charlie as part of his 40-year dairy business.
To attract more customers, Charlie added an airplane ride. Then, he said, he got the carnival bug.
The people enjoyed the wreides I had, so I just kept adding it on," he said. "Once a carriage, always a carriage."
Now, Joyland consists of 30 rides and games. The most valuable ride is a 78-year-old merry-go-round — one of only two in the state and 200 in the nation of that age or older.
Yesterday, bags full of tickets were brought into Joyland. Children ran from ride to ride, a trail of tickets behind them. The Boyleses smiled and clapped their hands at the sight.
"I love children," Charlie said while waving his arm at all the giggles and screams from his carnival grounds. "I always say, 'If you've got to be successful, then do something you like to do.'"
Twenty-million free ride tickets were given away this year by Joyland. Local businesses and churches as far away as Wichita and lola received rolls of free tickets
The Boyleses hope to sell the park and merry-go-round as a unit. And, if not, they hope to at least keep the merry-go-round in the state. An auction date will be set for mid-October.
An offer has been made by the city of Topeka to buy the merry-go-round. The Boyleses have not yet replied. Interest has also been shown in the park as a unit.
"There's still a potential for the park to be reopened as it is," Charlie said. "That is our desire. We want to sell to someone that will carry on where we left off."
With the recent attendance success, though, Jerry is having second thoughts.
"You never know what's the right thing," he said. "We want to sell it and then we don't want to sell it.
"I'm kind of burned out on it though. Thirty-three years is a long time. I've never had a Sunday off during the summer before — I feel guilty if I'm not here."
Since the official closing announcement last month, letters have poured into the Joyland office asking whether the park is really closing.
Spy charges brought against U.S. reporter
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — U.S. reporter Nicholas Daniloff was charged with espionage yesterday, Soviet state-run television said. Under the Soviet criminal code, the charge could carry the death penalty on conviction.
Danloff was thought to be the first foreign journalist ever formally charged with spying in the Soviet Union.
Danioff called the Moscow office of his magazine. U.S. News & World Report, and told reporter Jeff Trimble that he was indicted in a legal proceeding at Moscow's Lefortov Prison at 2 p.m., Trimble said.
He told his colleague that he was charged under Article 65 of the
Russian Federation Criminal Code. This article states that those committing espionage "shall be punished by deprivation of freedom for a term of seven to 15 years . . . or by death."
Trimble quoted Daniloff as saying he did not know when a trial might take place, but that he was told the investigation of his case could take six to nine months.
"My case is moving into a more serious phase." Trimble quoted Damliof as saying in the 20-minute phone call. "The charge of espionage puts it on a par with another case we know about."
Daniloff was referring to Soviet U.N. employee Gennadiy Zakharov, who was arrested in New York Aug 23 on espionage
