BANK Pretty Young Woman Alleged to Have Confessed In Indianapolis Today Believe Clark's Real Name Henderson And He Has Had Several Wives By KENT COCHRAN I. N. S. Staff Correspondent SAN DIEGO, Oct. 24.—A new and intensive search for the body of George E. Schlek, missing real estate operator, was on today in Mission Valley. A squad of 15 deputies and detectives, armed with shovels, were spread out fan-like and covering the area for a mile each side of every road in the broad valley. They dug wherever the sandy loam appeared to have been disturbed. Schick, the authorities believe, met death in his Mission Drive home, which overlooks the wide expanse of valley beneath. Several tips have reached the sheriff's office of darkened automobiles having been seen in the valley during the period immediately following Schick's strange disappearance. A 20-year-old son of E. Drew Clark by an earlier marriage was located in Los Angeles by Burns detectives, they announced. This revelation was made by checking up on the report that Clark's real name is Robert, Henderson and that he has been married several times. The Burms operatives plan to turn their attention for the next few days almost wholly to the investigation of Clark's past. The past life of Mrs. Etta Clark, recently divorced wife of Clark and jointly implicated of complicity by Mrs. Schiek in the forgery of a power of attorney to obtain control of the missing man's estate, will also come under scrutiny of the Burns men, they say. Two women, said to be former wives of Clark, will be brought to San Diego from Los Angeles to face him in the county jail here, officers investigating Schick's mysterious disappearance announced today. In connection with the location of Clark's two alleged former wives in Los Angeles, Burns detectives stated they have trace of at least three other women in his past life and that further investigation may develop evidence that Clark is a "love pirate" and probably guilty of bigamy. One of the two women telegraphed officers here today from Los Angeles that she had "valuable information for them." Judge Lindsay remained behind locked doors with the jurors for more than an hour. It was reported on reliable authority that he refused to give the jury names of high school girls who had confided in him relative to alleged illegal operations. Judge Lindsay carried into the jury room an armful of instruments said to have been used in illegal operations. It was said the jurors took copious notes on the judge's refusal to answer questions. Whether an order will be asked of the district court compelling him to answer the questions, could not be learned. JURY CLEARS DEPUTY OF SLAYING A jury of Coroner Charles D. Brown today exonerated Deputy Sheriff Ed McClellan for slaying Ualda Garcia, 38, in a duel Tuesday night at Westminster between the Mexican and McClellan and Deputy McKague. In the course of the testimony, it was shown that the slain man early in 1918 had shot another Mexican through the abdomen and been given a sentence of one to two years at the state penitentiary. According to Deputy Herman Zabel, who gave this information, the shooting took place at Garden Grove and Garcia was arrested on Feb. 3, 1918, and discharged from prison in December, 1919. Testimony at the inquest showed that McClellan had shot first at the ground, then had hit the Mexican in the arm and finally shot him through the head. Garcia kept on coming and threatening to kill, even after being shot in the right arm, and was brandishing a knife in the right hand and a pistol in the left. The deputies found Garcia had corraled the Mexican colony in a building near the Mexican church and had begun to shoot into the crowd. "Justifiable homicide in the discharge of duty" was the verdict. COOLIDGE APPROVED HARVEY'S ADDRESS PRETTY Young Woman Alleged to Have Confessed In Indianapolis Today INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 24.—Two men and a young woman, the wife of one, were held by police today, following the robbery of a filling station and the attempted robbery of another. They gave the names of Jack Hallaway and Thomas Dranginis, 22, and Mrs. Martin Ellis Dranginis, of Los Angeles. After a report of the first robbery a police dragnet caught the pair prepared to attempt the second. They were found in a large touring car. In the machine was an Aug. 21 copy of the Los Angeles Herald describing the robbery of the Belverdere Gardens State Bank of $14,000 in money and liberty bonds. While the men were being held, Mrs. Dranginis who is young, very pretty and unmistakably Spanish, appeared at headquarters. According to police, she implicated them in the Los Angeles robbery and the California authorities were notified. While here the party stopped at the finest hotel in the city. Two bonds for $500 each of the Seventh St. Fireproof Building Co., issued by the Los Angeles Saving and Trust Co., were found in possession of the trie. LOS ANGELES, Oct. 24.—Acting on the information wired here by Indianapolis authorities, Los Angeles deputy sheriffs went to Los Angeles harbor today and arrested Edwin Raulio on suspicion of being a third member of the bank bailout gank. He has been under the surveillance of the officers for several weeks. The two men arrested in the eastern city will probably be returned here, it was stated. DELIVER NEW NOTE UPON REPARATIONS PARIS, Oct. 24.—A German note was handed to the interallied reparations commission today formally requesting that body to examine Germany's resources and capacity for indemnity payments. The note stated that Germany is unable to resume reparations payments in kind at this time. The note, in principle, pledges Germany to fulfill her obligations imposed by the treaty of Versailles. IN connection with the location of Clark's two alleged former wives in Los Angeles, Burns detectives stated they have trace of at least three other women in his past life and that further investigation may develop evidence that Clark is a "love pirate" and probably guilty of bigamy. One of the two women telegraphed officers here today from Los Angeles that she had "valuable information for them." The two Los Angeles women are Mrs. Florence E. Behlmer, employed in a downtown Los Angeles store, and Mrs. MacGregor, Los Angeles. Mrs. Behlmer has a grown daughter and Mrs. MacGregor a grown son. SAN DIEGO, Oct. 24.—Far over-shadowing in interest the intense search for the body of George E. Schick, wealthy broker, who so strangely disappeared eight months ago, was the discovery today that the real name of Everett Drew Clark, under arrest on a charge of forgery in connection with the case, is Robert Henderson and that he has been previously married to several women. Burns detectives today made public a mass of information bearing on Clark's past lifes. He is said to have gone under various aliases during the last fourteen years. The detectives have reason to believe, say, that some of the women, whom Clark, or Henderson, came in contact in the past years, dropped from sight, and they are checking up to determine their ultimate fate. Two of Clark's alleged previous marriages are said to have taken place in Los Angeles, one in 1895 and one in 1902. Closely allied with this information is a portion of Mrs. Schick's confession in which she stated that Clark asked her to make a will leaving everything, including the guardianship of her two sons, to him. She wanted to do it in the form of a trust, she states, but he refused to accept this arrangement and nothing further was done. Clark is said by Mrs. Schick to have told her that he needed an heir in order to inherit estates in England. A San Diego woman today told the authorities that Clark had displayed to her what he said was his family crest, and claimed to be after being shot in the right arm, and was brandishing a knife in the right hand and a pistol in the left. The deputies found Garcia had corraled the Mexican colony in a building near the Mexican church and had begun to shoot into the crowd. "Justifiable homicide in the discharge of duty" was the verdict. COOLIDGE APPROVED HARVEY'S ADDRESS WASHINGTON, Oct 24—Col. Ger R. Harvey spoke with the entire approval of President Coolidge and Secretary of State Hughes when he informed the world last night, in his farewell speech in London, that the United States is willing to help Europe settle her troubles if Europe wishes it. The ambassador said, however, that the United States does not intend to "kick the door down" to get in a position of helpfulness. That is Coolidge-Hughes policy. Colonel Harvey spoke in London to an English audience, but his remarks were really addressed across the English channel to the French government, which 11 months ago summarily snubbed Secretary Hughes' suggestion for adjusting the knotty reparations problem, and accompanied it with a virtual invitation to Washington to mind its own business. Colonel Harvey has again told the world, and France, in particular that the present situation is hopeless in its outlook for better conditions and that the United States is willing to lend a helping hand—for a price. The price demanded is abandonment of petty politics in Europe and a manifestation of a sincere desire to put things right by tackling the reparations muddle along the lines suggested by Secretary Hughes. BLIZZARD RAGES COLORADO SPRINGS, Oct. 24.—With Pikès Peak already covered with snow to a depth of four feet and a blizzard prevailing, rescue workers were fighting their way to the summit house late today to rescue three employees of the cog railroad who are marooned at the top of the mountain. The snowfall continued heavy all after being shot in the right arm, and was brandishing a knife in the right hand and a pistol in the left. The deputies found Garcia had corraled the Mexican colony in a building near the Mexican church and had begun to shoot into the crowd. "Justifiable homicide in the discharge of duty" was the verdict. DELIVER NEW NOTE UPON REPARATIONS PARIS, Oct. 24.—A German note was handed to the interallied reparations commission today formally requesting that body to examine Germany's resources and capacity for indemnity payments. The note stated that Germany is unable to resume reparations payments in kind at this time. The note, in principle, piedges Germany to fulfill her obligations imposed by the treaty of Versailles. The note suggested means for currency reform and asked that the commission receive German delegates for verbal observations upon the Belgian reparations plan of June 6.

Representative of Contractors Says Former Director Never Repaid "Loan" By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—A sensation was sprung today in the sentimental investigation of the U.S. Veteran's bureau of Colonel Charles R. Forbes. Silas H. Mortimer, Washington representative of a St. Louis contracting firm, said Forbes had given him advance information concerning the building of veterans' hospitals and that in return he "lent Forbes $5,000 which never has been paid back." Mortimer said he got the money from his employers and gave it to Forbes in the bath room of a Chicago hotel. During Forbes' incumbency, Mortimer represented in Washington the St. Louis contracting firm, he added, of J. H. Black and J. W. Thompson. Mortimer also testified that Forbes had approached him with a proposal to dispose of 67,000 quarts of liquor and $5,000,000 worth of drugs stored in the veterans' bureau hospital at Perryville, MD. He said Forbes told him "we can all clean up enough in this to retire for life." The liquor and drugs it was said, was the property of the government. At the conclusion of Mortimer's testimony late this afternoon the committee adjourned until Monday. It was announced before adjournment that Colonel Forbes would be called before the committee next week to reply to Mortimer's charges. "Forbes told me," said Mortimer, "that he would 'fix me up.' He said I will give you a list of sites where we will build hospitals and you can take Thompson and Black and go around and see these places. That will give you advance information." "Was this list public?" asked General O'Ryan, counsel for the senatorial committee. "No air," replied Mortimer. "Colonel Forbes told me we wanted us to have advance information." Mortimer testified his wife had introduced him to Colonel Forbes in February, 1922. Shortly after this meeting, he said, Forbes began calling at his apartment in the Wardman Park hotel. Their friendship, he said, led to a party in Atlantic City on March 1923. NEW NOTE SEPARATIONS 4.
