JULIAN HAS MUCH GRIEF AT COMPTON C. C. Julian seems to be having a little more than his share of the grief an pil man is called upon to bear with his Pico well at Compton. Up to 4068 feet things went "swimmingly" with the Pico well. At the above depth the 10-inch casing began giving trouble, a part of the string collapsing 400 feet from the top. Five weeks of the hardest kind of work has not been able to remedy the difficulty and it begins to look like it will be necessary to skid the rig and start a new hole. The Union Oil Company's Calender well is a beautiful producer if our literary friends will allow the use of the word beautiful to describe an oil well. Coming in at a 1000 barrels the well has steadily increased its production until now it is doing close to 1500 barrels. This is the greatest showing than any new field well has ever made since the great Chapman gusher came in at Richfield away back in 1919. If discovery wells mean anything Compton should be another field greater than even the famous Santa Fe Springs field. At Bellflower development of the Calpetro property seems to be going ahead. The Keck Drilling Co. has renamed operations and the most reliable information on the well has it that drilling has passed the 4400 mark. Some fair indications of oil have been found, but the consensus of opinion now seems to be that the field has only a wild cat chance. At Hermosa Beach the Consolidated Mutual's test well has passed 5200 feet, and there seems to be little hope held out for anything like production now. Inglewood has tried a number of times to get a place on the oil map of Southern California and has repeatedly failed. The test well drilled by the Amazon Drilling Company on the Baldwin property to close to 5800 feet would seem to be a pretty satisfactory test for the "dryness" of the field. The Fuente Hills field is looking forward to the success of the Ma- CYPRESS CYPRESS, Oct. 19.—Work is progressing nicely on the Fuquay building. The foundation is laid and the flooring is well under way. These two new storerooms will add greatly to our rapidly growing town. The Wm. H. Muskers, who are considered among the oldest residents of this section, have leased their 40-acre farm just south of town, and will move into Anaheim, where they intend to make their home. A Long Beach retail dairy has taken a three-year lease on the Musser property. Charles Argast has leased a part of the Fuquay place and will move his poultry there in the near future. Mr. Argast is building a small residence and when completed will move from the Vod Grenagan place; where he resided for the past 18 years. Jack Fuquay has at last decided that his ancient Lizzie needs a rest. He has a pretty, shiny new th automobile. For years and years old Lizzie has rattled about our streets taking the place of truck, work train, etc., but she is laid away for a much-needed rest. The old residents do not know when Jack is coming now. A letter from Mr. and Mrs. Geo. B. Miller, who are on their annual hunting trip into Arizona, tells of their success so far. The party had bagged two bucks, one seven, and a five point, and five wild turkeys. Mr. Miller had been suffering from a severe cold, but was feeling well again when the letter was written. Mr. and Mrs. H. LaRue spent the week-end in Santa Barbara with Mrs. LaRue's sister. Smiling Earl Smith was a business visitor in Los Angeles Wednesday. The smiling one was a Yank backer and therefore was entitled to be a business visitor in the big city. Word received from Mrs. G. G. Priddy, who was called to Oklahoma by the serious illness of her mother, is to the effect that the mother has passed the crisis and is that to be well on the road to recovery. JURORS WILL MRS.

The Puente Hills field is looking forward to the success of the Mahala Oil and Gas Company to make it an oil field. The Mahala has had a lot of good success of late and has the redrilling of its No. 1 almost completed. At 200 feet off bottom or at a depth of 2900 feet the well is showing a lot of oil and seems to assure commercial production. Much of the future of the San Jose Hills country will be determined in a few days by the St. Helen's Petroleum Company. On the Garner Ranch the St. Helen's drilled a test well to 5050 feet, and in the drilling found a number of oil showings the aggregate of which may net a small producer. C. C. Julian is busy at Santa Monica trying to make this one of the next oil fields of the Southland. Julian took over the old Saw-teller Santa Monica test well a few months ago. He found the well in bad shape and will have to do a lot of redrilling in order to put the 4700 foot hole in condition for a test of production. BEADED GOWNS LEAD IN POPULARITY Miss Millerick, of the Mary Millerick Shop, returned last evening from a several days business trip in San Francisco, where she met one of the buyers of a large eastern exclusive gown concern.

STOKES' DIARY By JACK CARBERRY (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—A silent witness, the diary of Mrs. Helen Elwood Stokes, former Denver society belle, defendant in the divorce action brot against her by her 78-year-old millionaire husband, William Earl Dodge Stokes, was expected today to be the chief proof submitted to refute the sensational charge voiced against the titian-haired beauty by the 15 witnesses who have so far testified against her. Mrs. Stokes exhibited her diary this morning. It covers the entire period of her married life beginning in 1911 when, as a girl, she cloped with the aged millionaire to a New Jersey Gretna Green, up to the present time. The diary will be read to the jury by Mrs. Stokes when she takes the witness stand in her own behalf late next week, according to Samuel Unterberger, her chief counsel. Handwriting experts will be called to prove the document authentic, and to swear that the entries made in 1911 and following years, are not recent writings—a contention which already has been voiced by her husband. The written record, as shown by Mrs. Stokes is perhaps, a document without parallel in court. It tells a story of the young girl who married a man of age and wealth. The first entries are the story of expected happiness, with constant reference to the husband in terms of endearment. Later, events are recorded in which the young wife, at the dates mentioned, an expectant mother, records a series of alleged abuses. The diary will be introduced as a strategical move by the defense. Stokes, it is now believed, will not take the witness stand against his wife, altho Mrs. Stokes has waived the right which prevents a husband from testifying against his mate in the New York courts. None but Stokes, however, can refute the en- PERSONAL EFFORTS TO DESTROY BOOZE SACRAMENTO, Oct. 19.—Four idlers on Second street today were requisitioned by Detectives E. J. Cox and F. Keegan to carry in tubs some 900 gallons of wine discovered in a basement and pour it into the sewer. The quartet, consisting of two white men, a negro and a Mexican diligently applied themselves to the task until the officers disappeared. On the return of the detectives an hour later they found the workers had attempted to dispose of the liquor by the easier method of drinking-it. They were paid $2 each and taken to the jail in a patrol wagon. SOVIETS READY TO POUNCE ON BERLIN (By William K. Hutchinson) I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Massed along the Polish border, a vaast army of Soviet Russian troops is hold in readiness to invade Germany at any moment-in support of a communist revolution. Senator William H. King, Democrat of Utah, declared today in warning against a threatened spread of sovietism throughout Europe. The Russian forces estimated at from 550,000 to 150,000, will "smash a bridge across Poland" as soon as soviet agents give the signal in Germany for a red revolt. Kin gadded. He said the prospect of a "soviet Germany" was imminent and that only a "miracle can prevent it." These were the outstanding impressions gained by the senator on a 17,000 mile tour of Europe, from which he has just returned to the capital. That Russia stands to throw her troops into Germany, King said, was admitted by sovet leaders, including Georges Tchitcherin, soviet minister of foreign affairs. "I interviewed Tchitcherin on this subject. He frankly admitted the 'time might come' when Russia would throw her troops into Germany. He told me we are ready to DRYS BOWL OVER WET GOVERNORS (Continued From Page One) to make me take that path again." Parker that it entirely without the scope of the conference to adopt and such course, and charged the federal administration with the responsibility for the enforcement of the law.

FOUR STATIONS USE WHITE STAR OILS The White Star Oil Co. has moved These were the outstanding impressions gained by the senator on a 17,000 mile tour of Europe, from which he has just returned to the capital. That Russia stands to throw her troops into Germany, King said, was admitted by soviet leaders, including Georges Tchitcherin, soviet minister of foreign affairs. "I Interviewed Tchitcherin on this subject." He frankly admitted the 'time might come' when Russia would throw her troops into Germany. He told me 'we are ready to use our troops when the movement rises in Germany which will threaten the soviet government." He declared that Russian troops would invade Germany if the Fascist movement threatened to gain control there or began marching toward Berlin. "I was in Moscow when the soviet ministers conferred with their German agents who came to appeal for troops, money and arms in support of their contemplated German revolution a month ago. This conference lasted three days." I spoke to Trottky, really the head of the soviet government, and asked him if it were true that such an appeal had been made. He said it was true and that he had opposed it in the conference. "A few days later Trotzky's newspaper printed an article declaring the soviet conference had decided 'the time was not yet ripe for a German Soviet.' The Soviet agents then returned to Germany where they are now planting the seeds of revolution which may come at any moment. "When it does strike an army of Russian troops, massed along the polish border, will smash a bridge of steel across Poland to invade Germany and aid the communists to overthrow the republican form of government. It is my firm belief the Russian soviet government itself will decide when the time is ripe." "Only a miracle can prevent a soviet Germany." The soviet menace is a sword hanging over the German republic, ready to drop at any moment. The danger is imminent." As a remedy, King proposed an international conference at once to settle German reparations which would stabilize German independence. "It is time to throw diplomacy to the winds" King said. "The United States should get in touch with all the allied nations, calling them to a conference to settle the German reparations question. The United States should call this conference, even if France refuses to attend." "The conference should determine the amount of reparations Germany must pay, the guarantees Germany must put up and end the trouble in the Ruhr. If France refused to accept the decision, publish it to the world and public opinion would force her to accept." Once France accepts and Germany is permitted to prevent it.

MAN NAMED LEGION COMMANDER (Continued from page one) morning prominent legionnaires denied that any resolutions adopted by the convention were aimed at the Ku Klox Klan or any particular organization. The following statement was given to International News Service by Thomas W. Miller, alien property custodian and chairman of the resolutions committee, aroused which the body's hectic battle was waged. "The constitution of the United States guarantees to all of our people equal rights and opportunities and the language of that document does not tolerate distinctions as to race, color, breed or class." "The preamble of the constitution pledges fidelity to the constitution and the notion of the legion in convention yesterday upheld law enforcement and put an emphatic stamp of disapproval upon intolerance. "The legion fights in its convention as we fought on the western front and does not look backward, but rather forward. The unanimous vote of 1000 delegates upon the resolution advocating law enforcement and tolerance toward all of our people regardless of race, color, creed and class, indicates that the American Legion is united and there is no division in our ranks."
