Friday, November 16, 1923 CHARGE LAWYER WITH BLACKMAIL LOS ANGELES, Nov. 16.—Evidence alleging that Herman L. Roth, prominent New York and Los Angeles attorney, attempted to extort $20,000 from Barbara LaMarr, film actress, was expected to be presented before the county grand jury today. Roth was arrested yesterday by detectives from the district attorney's office, after it is claimed he is alleged to have been given $400 in marked money by Ariel H Sawyer, Associated Pictures director, who worked with the district attorney's office when he gave Roth the money. The trouble is said to have started when N. Barnard Deely, former husband of the actress, retained Roth to file divorce papers for him charging desertion. Roth it is claimed, without the knowledge of Deely, prepared the suit, charging desertion. Then he prepared a second suit it is alleged, naming several correspondents, and attempted to go; $20,000 from Miss LaMarr under the threat that the second suit would be filed unless he was given the money. The $100 alleged to have been passed to Roth yesterday is said to have been a first payment on the money Roth demanded. Other payments of $100 weekly were to be made Roth until the sum was paid. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19.—Barbain LaMarr, screen actress from whom Herman L. Roth is alleged to have attempted to extort $20,000, declined to discuss the case today.

CONTINUES DOWN In spite of the four producers completed by the Union Oil Co., the three wells finished by the General Petroleum, and the 4000 barrel well put on production by the Standard Oil Company the production of Santa Fe Springs delineated 1000 a day for the past week. The decline is appalling and shows what will become of the one greatest high gravity producing field of the world when development is completed. The past week was a memorable one for Santa Fe Springs on account of the large number of new producers added. About a dozen wells in all were completed and the aggregate of these new producers would total about twenty thousand barrels. The Paion Oil Company was the largest individual completer of new wells. The Union's completions numbered four wells, each well averaging 2000 barrel. On the Farwell property at No. 8 the Union got a 3000 barrel well producing 34.8 gravity oil at 4633. The Bell property of the Union came in for three wells, Bell No. 19 doing 2600 barrels, 21 doing 2500, and Bell 24 making 1100 barrels. These three wells were all completed at 4700 feet and are making 33 gravity oil. The General Petroleum's new production for the week aggregated 1800 barrels and comes from Santa Fe No. 75C completed DAN CUPID BUSY Marriage licenses issued by County Clerk Joe Backs during November continue numerous. Up to noon today, 156 licenses had been handed over to applicants, which means at the same rate more than 300 for the entire month. The noon hour, or just before noon, and Saturday continue to be the favorite time for applicants. at 4710, 750 bbls. Santa Fe 91A at 4677 and 725 barrels, and Santa Fe NUC finished at 4660 doing 300 barrels. The Associated Oil Company got a nice producer on the Clark property with the completion of No. 8 at 4495 a 2500 barrel well. The Clark property is proving to be one of the most valuable properties of the West side and the Association is developing it conservatively. High light developments at Santa Fe Springs shows the Commercial Refining Company's well past the 450-foot mark and nothing that looks like oil showing. The Lauetta Oil Company went to 5048 feet failed to get an oil well and now is coming back to 2700-2800 will plug off and try out some showings noted in the course of drilling. The Top Notch Oil Syndicate on adjoining property will make a production test at 4800, and failing to get anything the intention is to go on to 5500. The Southern California Oil Company tested out its No. 2 well at 4608 and found no oil or water. The well is something of a mystery and will be drilled deeper. 4 NEW WELLS IN TORRANCE FIELD Four new producers, all erate 1200-1590 barrels came in last week and on the daily production of the Torrance-Lomita oil field at 900. The development of Torrance field is moving nicely, drilling wells around the 2700 mark, few culties are encountered and 1500 barrel wells make business for all concerned. The Chanslor-Canfield Oil Company the discoverer Torrance-Lomita field, is in the development work and erasing a new producer week. The C. C. M. O.'s producer constituted a 1497 rel well at Torrance No. 1497 well was completed at 375 represents a field average for production and gravel addition to having 16 welling on the Torrance holdin Chanslor-Canfield has two started on the Kettler p and will maintain some strings of tools in order care of the contemplated Line development constitute greater part of the Chanslor field's work at the present.

The development of the Torrance field is moving along nicely, drilling wells finish around the 2700 mark, few difficulties are encountered and 1200 and 1500 barrel wells make nice business for all concerned. The Chanslor-Canfield Midway Company the discoverer of the Torrance-Lomita field, is leading the development work and is averaging a new producer each week. The C. C. M. O.'s latest producer constituted a 1400 barrel well at Torrance No. 14. This well was completed at 3724 and represents a field average both in production and gravity. In addition to having 16 wells drilling on the Torrance holdings the Chanslor-Canfield has two wells started on the Kettler property and will maintain some twenty springs of tools in order to take care of the contemplated drilling. The development constitutes the greater part of the Chanslor Ganeld's work at the present time. The Federal Drilling Company's Gerner well is having some difficulty to get under way and produce. The well seems to have an abundance of oil but little gas. The gas not being strong enough to maintain the fluid column the well has difficulty in making a regular flow; Sand has also given the new producer some trouble. Is the intention of the Federal Department of Agriculture to visit his little patch each day? Officials of the great prison, which houses more than 2700 men, declare that they intend to continue encouraging San Quentin prisoners to take an interest in gardening, because a man who is engrossed in the mystery of why plants grow, doesn't have time to misbehave. JAPANESE WIRE SERVICE NORMAL SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16. The removal of all restrictions in Japan concerning the use of code language and the responsibility for handling radiograms to or from Tokio, Yokohama and all other districts affected by the recent earthquakes and fire was announced by G. E. Baxter, traffic superintendent of the Radio Corp. of America today. The department of communications at Tokio advise that the telegraph facilities of the empire are again normal and that traffic is moving without delay. Drilling Company to put the well on the pump for a few days with the hope of creating sufficient gas pressure to assure a flowing well. Edward L. Doheney has produced now at Torrance. The Petroleum Securities well No. P completed by the Pan-American Petroleum Company at 2780 came in a 1250 barrel well and is making 27.4 gravity oil. The Pan-American has 10 wells underway. The Petroleum Midway has its first real oil producer at Torrance with a 1000 barrel well on the Wilson property. Wilson No. 1 was finished at 3759 and is flowing 24.5 gravity oil. Interest in the Petroleum Midway's Torrance developments centers on the Lewis well now drilling at 2800 feet. The Lewis is something of a wildcat and its showings and findings are interesting. W. M. Keck continues to get his share of the good things at Torrance. Just this past week Keck added another 1000 barrel well to his production. GARDENS BOON TO PRISON CONVICTS SAN QUENTIN, Nov. 16. One of the first things that a visitor to San Quentin penitentiary is likely to notice as he is guided through the somber interior of the great state prison is the number of little gardens that are conspicuous on every hand. They are "owned and cultivated" by prisoners for their own use and enjoyment, and it is almost pathetic to observe the pride that many of the convicts take in developing their tiny patches of flowers, vegetables, or lawn. "One of the surprising things I have found in my many years within these walls," declared an old prison guide today, "is the fact that these gardens we have here are among the strongest incentives to good behavior among the inmates that we could possibly think of. "It doesn't matter what a fellow grows, his small garden becomes his whole concern and interest in life while he is here. It needs constant care and attention, and there isn't a man in a hundred that will do anything that might deprive him of the opportunity to visit his little patch each day." Officials of the great prison, which houses more than 2700 men, declare that they intend to continue encouraging San Quentin prisoners to take an interest in gardening, because a man who is engrossed in the mystery of why plants grow, doesn't have time to misbehave. alkenstein's the Ready-to-Wear Section Features her Well Planned ent Day!
