JOSEPH, Mich., May 11—There is every evidence that many witnesses have been coached for the House of David inquiry and unclef perjury committed. Judge Harry J. Dingenman, one man grand jury, charged today in announcing a recess in his investigation until Monday. Five thousand barrels of black gummy oil was spouted over buildings, trees, streets and the landscape in general late Thursday when the Jameson-Wardman well on the Wardman lease at the corner of Norwalk and Telegraph-rds broke loose. The roads were flooded with oil to such an extent that it was necessary to install pumps on wagons and take it up in that way before traffic could get thru. Stage line schedules were shattered for several hours. The well had been drilled down 4600 feet but the crew was not ready to bring it in. However, certain apparatus gave way and the well came in with a boom, scattering oil over a radius of several hundred feet. By gradually "beating" it down, the well was brot under control after several hours hard work. The hole will be swabbed out and drilled deeper. Oil experts declare it will be a monster well. The well was being drilled by the Jameson Oll Co. on the Wardman lease. The Standard Oil Co. brot in two wells at Santa Fe Springs yesterday at combined initial flow of 4000 barrels but this was limited considerably at once because of the general desire to curtail production of the field since there is a shortage of pipe lines and storage facilities. One well was Walker Community No. 2, drilled to 4700 feet and coming in 2000 barrels. It was pinched down to 1500 barrels. The other was a South Whittier Community well which came in at 1500 barrels and which has been "beaned down" to 500 barrels. This is the eighth producer on this lease. There are three more drilling and two locations. HARVEY EVADES RECALL QUERIES (By International News Service) NEW YORK, May 11—"I am an American—but not a damn fool."
