DENY WARD MOTION TO DISMISS ACTION WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., Sept. 28. The state has made a case against Walter S. Ward sufficiently strong to warrant standing further trial and having to defend himself against the charges that he murdered Glarence M. Peters, it was decided by Justice Warner here this morning. The court denied a long list of motions presented by Ward's attorney, for dismissal of the indictment against him. Another motion requesting the court to direct a verdict of hot guilty, likewise was denied. Denial of the motions followed the close of the state's case. The defense will begin presenting its case tomorrow. The conclusion of the state's case was entirely unexpected. Attorney General Sherman last night announced he had many more witnesses to call including Ralph Ward, brother of the accused man; John Olson, former superintendent of the apartment house in New York where Ward is said to have maintained a bachelor apartment, and witnesses who were to testify that Ward "participated in a blackmail plot against his father." But one witness was called this morning, Walter A. Ferris, an assistant attorney general, who identified exhibits which had been introduced in the case. Sherman said he had no further explanation to make in closing the state's case that "I believe evidence has convicted Walter S. Ward."

Peters into the hands of the jury today without offering any defense. Judge I. N. Mills, chief of Ward's counsel, as soon as court opened, asked if the state's lawyers would allow him to sum up his case immediately. Attorney-General Sherman granted permission. The final arguments were expected to continue throughout the day. The action of Mills was not unexpected, as reports about the courtroom were that Mills and Ward believed the state had failed to establish either a first or second degree charge of murder. If Ward is found guilty, Milla is confident he will get a new trial on appeal. BREA NEWS BREA, Sept. 26 (Special).—M.

DELAY DRIVE FOR SALVATION ARMY The Salvation Army Home Service Campaign starts Thursday, Oct. 4, and is being sponsored by the Lions and Kiwanis clubs and the American Legion. Let every one get on board to help The Salvation Army over the top in Orange-co. It had been previously announced that the drive would start Sept. 25, but it became necessary to postpone the starting date. The money is for the extension and maintenance of all institutions serving Orange-co. Also, the branch at Santa Ana, having been a part of Orange-co for nearly one-half century. It is felt that Anaheim will take hold of this 1923 campaign in the same spirit as haretofore and make it 100 per cent. Mr. Bob White is the head of the Lions club committee. Mr. A. B. McCord is captain of the Kiwanis and Mrs. Jack Hebson of the American Legion. The goal is $2000. This will necessitate all doing their bit. Last year more than 1000 poor children were given one week's vacation at the Salvation Army Fresh Air Camp located at Redondo Beach. An additional feature in 1922 was a three weeks' stay for a selected group of undernourished and tubercular children being giver special diet. This year three times as many were cared for. The bills are to be paid. A large number of the children this year came from Orange-co. LONG BEACH GETS MORE PRODUCTION By Ellwood J. Munger A. T. Jergins has again proved himself worthy of the trust the city of Long Beach has placed in him for the development of the municipality's oil properties on Signal Hill. In addition to the already splendid production Jergins has developed a 2500 barrel well has just been added. The completion of No. 5 at a depth of 4852 feet resulted in a 25 gravity producer. The famous No. 1 well, the well that pushed the northwest line of the field out a year ago is to be deepened to 5000 feet and put down into the deep sands from which the future big production of Signal Hill is to be drawn. The General Petroleum placed the biggest producer of the week just closed at Long Beach on the Bixby property. Drilled to a depth of 4499 feet Bixby came in a 1600 barrel well producing 20 gravity oil. The low gravity of such a big producer is rather exceptional. Efforts continue to get Clock No. 1 in position to produce. Clock No. 1 is down 5972 feet and when completed will be the world's deepest oil producer. Smaller producers on the Hill were put on production this week by the Hub Oil Co., the Marine Oil Corp and the Petroleum Midway. The completion of the Hub Oil Co.'s Lekas Paulas at 4612 resulted in an 800 barrel well producing 20 gravity oil. Completed at 4770 the Marine Oil Corp was rewarded with a 600 barrel well at No. 8. The Petroleum Midway's Brown 1 the smaller of the trio was completed at 4293 and came in for 500 barrels. Efforts to extend the northwest line of the Signal Hill field three quarters of a mile from present production were abandoned a few days ago by the Northwest Extension at a depth of 5590. Aside from a few gas pockets the well never showed any indications of oil despite the press reports to the contrary. The test well was drilled by the Brad-dock-Haslam Drilling Co. and proved the drilling company's ability to get OLINDA OLINDA, Sept. 26 (Special). Mrs. Horace Schryer and daughter Olive and grandson Lee Jaynes spent the week-end with Mrs. J. J. Andrews of Buena Park. They spent Saturday night at Seal Beach dance. They report a fine time.

The Howard well was completed with a 4½ oil string and the Alexander well with a 6½ string. The new Union producers are making clean oil and gave the company a nice increase of 10,000 barrels daily. C. C. Julian placed his No. 2 on production at 4607 feet and got a 2500 barrel well. The new Julian producer is making 34 gravity oil and the production is clean. Drilling on Julian wells 5, 6, 11 and 12 continues and further increases to the production will be made soon. The General Petroleum's Santa Fe property continues to produce nice wells. Santa No. 14 just completed at 4623 is making 1900 barrels of the usual high gravity product of the field. The addition of No. 14 brings the G. P.’s production up to better than 40,000 daily. At 4025 feet the L. B. Chase Oil Co. got quite a pronounced showing of oil. The showing was the best the well has ever had and attracted BOARD AGAIN HOLDS UP HARBOR REPORT Approval of the Harbor Commission’s report, recommending a bond issue of $1,000,000 with which to complete and equip Orange-co harbor, was held in abeyance again. Supervisor W. M. Schumacher privately reiterated his declaration that until considerable frontage besides the 500 feet already owned had been decided to the county at a reasonable figure he would oppose the bond issue. He went further and asserted that he would oppose acceptance of the report. Another member of the board is with Schumacher in this and it appeared doubtful if any progress would be made by the pro-bond issue crowd. Anyhow, the board is awaiting first the receipt of monies with which to fill in certain frontage. There was quite a lively tilt over a petition to abandon various parts of streets near the center of Laguna Beach. The petition was signed by only a dozen persons, whereas the protesters showed 42 opposing signers. The streets included the Cliff Drive, Monterey Drive, Beach and Hill streets and two alleys. The property would revert to the California Trust and Savings Bank, the previous owners, and the protestors haven’t any objection to the bank as such, but want the conditions applying to adjoining property on which it was sold to them observed in the 60-foot piece proposed to be abandoned. Otherwise their view, which is an important part of the property’s value, will be spoiled, they allege.

The showing was the best the well has ever had, and attracted very favorable comment. Should the Chase well come into production it will open up a new area in the south-west section of the Springs field. Two wells drilling on the south line of the field, the Pacific States Oil Co., an dthe Fisher-Gregg have reached 4550 and 4800 respectively and the showings while encouraging at times are not important enough to insure succes as yet. Four records, three of them world records is the accomplishment of the Standard Oil Co. drilling a deep test well on the Brownrigg-Keller property at Santa Fe Springs. Brownrigg-Keller No. 2 now at 7125 is the deepest test well ever sunk in California. The well holds world records for the longest string of 8% casing, the longest string of 4-inch drill pipe, and the absence of fishing jobs. The hope has been expressed that nothing will prevent the deepest hole in the world. Plain Dealer Want-ads bring results.
