AFFIRMMENT CONVICTING WOODS Affirmation of the judgment in Superior Court, convicting J. K. Woods of obtaining money under false pretences, was filed today. Woods' attorneys appealed from the decision of Superior Judge Z. B. West. The evidence showed beyond dispute that Woods had received the two checks malattained in the previous evidence, says the opinion. The appraisal was doubtless taken, continues the opinion, on the ground of an error; in the court's refusal to give the requested instructions to the jury "that unless you believe from the evidence that the check was given to the defendant—was cashed (by the defendant) and that the defendant received the money, then you will find the defendant not guilty." The appellant was not the owner of the real property involved, but the agent of a third party who gave him a commission for the sale. But the requested instructions to the jury did not state the law. It is immaterial that Woods was the agent and got none of the actual purchase money. It is sufficient, if induced by false representations, the money was delivered to another. 34 WORDS TO WILL AWAY $50,000,000 ROCKLAND, Me., Jan. 25.—Only 34 words were required by George Warren Smith in his will, just filed here, to dispose of property estimated at more than $50,000.

MANAGER WEARING WONDERFUL SMILE "Governor" Letus Loudon, advertising manager of The Plain Dealer, may be pardoned if he forgets to kick of occupation, but was quelled today by a handful of American military police, who were left behind with the "clean-up" squad. The disorder began last night when a crowd attacked and wrecked the offices of the Rhinelander Warte, a newspaper that is advocating separation of the Rhineland from Germany. This mob consisted of about 2000 Germans, but was dispersed by the Americans, about a score in number. Feeling was still running high today and another mob, made up of anti-secessionists and anti-French, swarmed through the streets. Although it numbered about 10,000, the doughboy policemen soon scattered it. The Germans sang patriotic songs and hurled epithets at the separatists and the French. Although French soldiers were stationed here, none was seen upon the streets. They were kept in their barracks and billets. "SHOOT TO KILL" IS FRENCH ORDER IN OUTBREAK IN RUHR MAYENCE, Jan. 25.—French troops, with orders to shoot to kill in case of further disorder, took over command of Mayence from the local German police today, following attacks upon French officers during the early morning.

MANAGER WEARING WONDERFUL SMILE "Governor" Lotus Loudon, advertising manager of The Plain Dealer, may be pardoned if he forgets to kick up a two-bit clas-sad the next few days while he is coming back to earth. The reason! A phone message this afternoon from Mrs. Loudens parents, Mr. and Mrs. John S. Baker at Santa Fe Springs, stated that the Getty No. 1 on their 188-acre ranch near the state hospital had come in today and was doing 4000 barrels under wraps." The maximum flow may not be known for 34 hours. This is the first well on the west side from the Meyer sand, which has given the big producers, and proves up extensive territory. Mr. Baker, who is one of the pioneers of the Springs, has held onto his ranch for 50 years, maintaining there were oil possibilities and he leased several years ago before discovery. However, drilling was delayed and this is the first producer. Ten other wells are now being drilled on the Baker property which has been promoted by such authorities as Ralph Winger, field superintendent of the Standard Oil Co., the best in the Santa Fe gusher field.
