ABERNATHY
Declares His Financial Condition Open to Anyone Concerned
If Charles R. Wheeler, former clerk in the Anaheim postoffice, beheld J. R. Abernathy at the office on the evening of Dec. 27, Wheeler doesn't remember it, he declared today. "I probably saw 1000 people in the lobby that day, but whether I saw Abernathy or not I couldn't say."
Denying the reports that he and Abernathy had been extremely friendly, Wheeler said that he had been in Abernathy's house only twice in his life and Mrs. Wheeler only once. Abernathy had been in his house four or five times and Mrs. Abernathy not at all. The two men had met at the houses of friends only a few times.
The two used to play cards quite frequently, but not for many weeks past, because Abernathy held letters of recommendation about his partner or defeats, etc., said Wheeler.
Nevertheless, Wheeler had not been unfriendly with Abernathy, and today defended the latter's reputation, declaring that Abernathy held letters of recommendation from important persons both in Missouri and Oklahoma where Abernathy formerly resided.
Regarding his financial condition, Wheeler said his resources were open to investigation by anybody concerned. At the Southern County Bank he had occasionally deposited certain extra sums not included in his salary; such for example as refund on insurance, taxes, etc. Approximately $1600 remained to be paid on his house at 207 East Wilhelmina-st.
S. B. Walter of the Anaheim Vulcanizing Works was one of those who contributed toward Wheeler's ball on Saturday. Walter was out of town today, and no information as to who else had aided Wheeler could be obtained from the postoffice clerk.
Where the money is and who has got it now are the things to find out, said Wheeler today.
The former clerk appeared to be in the highest spirits, following his release, and said he was enjoying the sunshine again.
A statement was issued today by members of the Findlay family emphatically denying that the defense of insanity would be entered as was suggested Saturday by friends of Abernathy and Wheeler. The statement read:
7 MEET DEATH IN TANK OF BOILING OIL
PITTSBURGH, Jan. 21—Seven firemen lost their lives, three others were injured, probably fatal, and thousands of gallons of oil were destroyed today in a fire which raged for more than seven hours in the Atlantic refining section of the Standard Oil Co.'s plant here, causing a loss estimated at more than $100,000.
The fire, starting from an explosion of undetermined cause in a 10,000-barrel oil tank, was still burning, but was under control at 10 o'clock this morning.
One oil tank and a three-story building in the plant yard were razed by the flames.
Efforts of all the city firemen and the 147th Field Artillery, called out for special fire duty, succeeded in preventing the flames from spreading to nearby oil tanks.
NARROW MARGIN AGAINST BONDS
With the knowledge that another election on the proposed high school bond issue of $150,000, for construction of additional rooms for the science department and other high school expansion, cannot be held for six months, supporters of the issue are most regretful over its defeat Saturday by only-14 votes.
The proposition carried by 315 for and 151 opposed in Anaheim; but figures from three outlying districts caused its defeat. Voting was very light.
Katella district favored the issue with 27 for and 5 against;

Where the money is and who has got it now are the things to find out, said Wheeler today.
The former clerk appeared to be in the highest spirits, following his release, and said he was enjoying the sunshine again.
A statement was issued today by members of the Findlay family emphatically denying that the defense of insanity would be entered as was suggested Saturday by friends of Abernathy and Wheeler. The statement read:
"We were very much surprised at the statement made in the Plain Dealer Saturday night that we would enter a plea of insanity in Mr. Findlay's defense. We want it emphatically understood that we have never made such a statement and have no intention of making any such plea.
"(Signed) Francis Findlay.
"Mrs. J. L. Findlay."
The family is making no defense for Findlay, another relative stated.
"He did it; admits it, and that is all there is to say about it except that he would never have gone into the scheme if he hadn't been urged by someone else to do it." stated the relative.
"This much further can be said. He lost very heavily in his auto business venture here. The loss totalled nearly $30,000. That, of course, preyed heavily upon his mind, but there were never any signs of insanity.
His record has always beer as straight as a string up to this time, and that is why we know he was urged to go into the scheme. He formerly farmed and drove a rural mall route at Fort Dodge, Iowa. When he came here he had just sold his farm for cash His brother, C. Y. Findley is now mayor of Fort Dodge, and a prominent man in that section of the state. He is president of a normal and business training college there and was forever a leading member of the Iowa legislature. This brother assisted to the extent of several thousands when he failed in business here."
BURY INFANT TODAY
The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Petley, who reside northwest of town, died yesterday and was interred today in the Anaholm cemetery at 11 o'clock.
Katella district favored the issue with 27 for and 5 against; Laurel voted 11 for, one against; Loara 18 for, four opposed; Cypress, 8 to 3. Centralia opposed the measure with 10 against and 3 in favor; Magnolia, 15 for and 23 against; Savannah, 3 for, 10 opposed, which caused its failure by 14 votes.
That the issue would undoubtedly carry at another election is the opinion of those who have reason to foresee, but whether this will be called is uncertain, as the expense of an election is not negligible.

REBELS WILL "POSTPONE" BLOCKADE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21—With one American warship, the fast cruiser Richmond, already on the ground, and seven more first class American fighting ships enroute to Mexican waters carrying 1,100 bluejackets to protect American interests and insure the unrestricted flow of commerce, Mexican revolutionists under Adolfo De La Huerta, have decided to "postpone" their announced blockade of the great oil port of Tampico, according to a cablegram received at the navy department from Rear Admiral Magruder, in charge of the naval detachment sent to Mexico.
The Richmond, which has been standing by the wrecked cruiser Tacoma, which went ashore on Blanquilla reef, 16 miles from Pera Cruz, was ordered to Tampico yesterday and made the run over night.
Admiral Magruder advised officials here that he had been informed that the blockade of the oil port had been "postponed until the first of next month."
The action of the De La Hueristas in this abandoning what they already had attempted was attempted as a bloodless victory for the United States, won by a show of naval strength after the revolutionary chief had specifically ignored warnings sent from Washington that this government would not tolerate a blockade of Tampico.

INTO PROBE
Resigns From Union Pet. Result of "Amazing" Testimony Given
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.—A sensation was created here this afternoon when Archie Roosevelt, son of the ex-president, appeared before the senate public lands committee and announced that he had resigned his position as vice president of the Union Petroleum Co., because of "certain suspicions" he had of Henry F. Sinclair's dealings in connection with the lense of Teapot Dome Oil reserve from ex-secretary of the interior Albert E. Fall.
The Union Petroleum Company is a Sinclair subsidiary and was formed as the export company of Sinclair Consolidated. He has been an official of the company for several years.
Roosevelt's testimony was the most sensational that has yet been added by the senatorial committee in its investigation of the Teapot Dome lease.
In announcing his resignation from the Sinclair concern, Roosevelt said he was actuated by three principal reasons, and he enumerated them as follows:
1. The "amazing testimony" brought out by the present investigation.
2. Certain things which he learned while in Sinclair's employ.
3. The "sudden decision" of two of the men most concerned in the affair—Sinclair himself and Colonel D. D. Zeverly, his partner—to go to Europe.
"Last Monday," Roosevelt said, "Sinclair called me into his office. He said: 'Archie, get me a ticket to Europe on the Paris And don't let my name get on the passenger list.'"
Roosevelt explained that this was asked of him because his brother was an official of the line and could do such things.
The committee and a crowded room full of spectators were entertained when RooseveltGeared that he considered Senator Caraway's speech of last week—in which the Arkansas senator accused Fall of accepting a "corrupt consideration" in connection with the lease, "a clear summing up of the whole affair."
Then on Friday, Roosevelt said he had a talk with G. D. Walburg, private secretary to Sinclair.
"Walburg said to me," continued the expresident's son, "Archis.

Favorable Report
From Grand Jury
The annual report of the grand
jury was filed today with Superior Judge Z. B. West. Expenditure of school funds for other than education came in for pointed comment. The report stated schools of the county are in good condition.
Safeguarding paved roads and protection of the public from the menace of drainage ditches were embodied in the report.
The policy of widening paved roads with granite shoulders was commended.
Books and records of the county and various cities are in satisfactory shape, but a double entry ledger system for several towns not now using it, was recommended.
Annual auditing of the books of the cities by an outside accountant was also recommended.
That the next grand jury give special attention to changes governing county affairs was declared essential.
Sanitary conditions in the county were viewed as satisfactory. Daries and meat packing houses were found in good condition. The grand jury urged adoption of a strict meat inspection ordinance.
Communication for operation of the county hospital and farm and devotion of officers to their duty was contained in the report.
Recognition of the county park as one of the county's greatest advertising assets accompanied approval of expenditures made there. The harbor also came in for approval.
The suggestion of Secretary V. D. Johnson of the Orange Community Chamber of Commerce that a committee with the county purchasing agent as chairman, be appointed to direct expenditure of the county advertising fund was adopted.

The committee and a crowded room full of spectators were electrified when RooseveltGeneral that he considered Senator Caraways speech of last week—in which the Arkansas senator accused Fall of accepting a "corrupt consideration" in connection with the lease "a clear summing up of the whole affair."
Then on Friday, Roosevelt said he had a talk with G. D. Walburg, private secretary to Sinclair.
Walburg said to me," continued the expresident's son." Archie my advice to you as a friend is to leave this company. You have a name and a reputation which you should guard zealously."
I asked Walburg. Roosevelt went on, "whether he that Sinclair bribed Fall in connection with Teapot Dome. He said that 'bribery' was a nasty word. He then said:
"I think somebody might have lent Mr. Fall some money."
When Walberg told me he unhappy I was thinking about resigning and getting a new job," said Roosevelt. "He told me that the one thing that worried him was a payment to a foreman of Mr. Fall's, that payment being $68,000." Roosevelt testified. He said he had the cancelled checks.
When I learned this I telephoned to my brother Taddy in Washington. He came to New York Saturday and insisted that I come back with him, and we decided to come before the committee and tell you what I have just said. I do not want the committee to think that I would come before it with only this hearty evidence but I do think that knowing this, the committee should investigate for itself and find out if the suspicions I have are true.
Walberg himself was then called to the stand, announced that (Continued on page six)

COURT ROOM
Obviously Impressed byImportance AttachedTo her Recital
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.—Slightly awed by the huge throngwhich jammed the courtroom tohear her testimony, Mabel Normand today took the stand atthe preliminary hearing of Horace A.Greer, her chauffeur, who shotand seriously wounded Courtiland S. Dines, wealthy Denver man,friend of Miss Normand and EdnaPurviance, film stars.
Miss Normand obviously wasimpressed by the importanceattached to her version of the shoot-ing, which she related, and uponwhich thousands of clubwomenthrought the United States expectto judge her actions and the public attitude today toward her motion pictures.
As the hearing opened, defenseattorneys launched a determinedfight to free Greer by tonight.The defense let it be known thatthey had five witnesses whomthey would call at the conclusionof the prosecution's testimony.
It was asserted that the fivewitnesses would establish Greer'sclaim of self-defense and clearhim of the charge of attemptedmurder.
Miss Normand went smilinglyto the stand,and she was smilingwhen she left it. Once duringser testimony, when she madean apt retort to an objectionbyGreer's lawyers,the crowd lustilyapplauded her.
She shook her head at Greer,slowched down in a chair beforeher, like a mother reprovinga naughty child.
Miss Normand wore a three-piece blue serge suit trimmedwith silver beads,a gray bonnet,gray gloves,gray shoes and hose.On the stand she sat with herfeet twisted back of the legsofthe chairlike a schoolgirl.
"Please be sworn," said thejudge as Miss Normand tookthe stand.
"Do I stand up or sit down,"she asked Deputy DistrictAttorney Shelly upon taking thestand.
"Your name, please?" askedShelly.
"Mabel Normand."
"Your business?"
"Moving pictures." It wasnoticeable that she did not say "actress"or "motion" pictures.
"Were you in Mr. Dines' apartmentJan. 1st?"
"Yes, I was. I left my housea little after 5 o'clock and arrivedthere about—well,the time it took I don't recall."

Yorba Hunter
Accidentally Shot
Gilbert Romero, 15, of Yorba was accidentally shot while hunting Sunday two miles north of Yorba and one mile each of Yorba Linda. He was seriously but not fatally injured.
With Gilbert de Los Reyes, 14, he was in quest of jackrabbits. While crawling under a barbed wire fence, the trigger of his gun was tripped.
The discharge grazed his side, tore a gash 3 1/2 inches long in his arm and lodged in his hand. He was attended by Dr. Cochran of Yorba Linda. While a little feverish from the excitement late yesterday, he rested well last night and this morning hope was expressed for his rapid recovery.
Young de Los Reyes, although greatly alarmed over the acciden, bravely and with great exertion carried the bleeding youth a considerable distance to his home.
The injured boy is the son of Supt. Peter Romero of the Ibbetson ranch. The Romeros have had considerable bad luck recently, Mr. Romero having been laid up with a cast for some time in the local sanitarium, and another child having been crushed by a bale of hay.

"Do I stand up or sit down," she asked Deputy District Attorneys Shelly upon taking the stand.
"Your name, please?" asked Shelly.
"Mabel Normand."
"Your business?"
"Moving pictures." It was noticeable that she did not say "acress" or "motion" pictures.
"Were you in Mr. Dines' apartment, Jan. 1st?"
"Yes, I was. I left my house a little after 5 o'clock and arrived there about—well, the time it took I don't recall."
"Did you see Greer!"
"He drove me there."
"Did he stay or leave?"
"No, he drove me there and I told him to come back. I told him Miss Purviance might come back with me. Told him to come back in about an hour and a half."
"When did you next see Greer?"
"Well, Mr. Dines said something about a Christmas present—"
"Wait a minute!" objected Greer's attorneys, wait a minute. We object to anything that was said unless Greer was present.
The objection was sustained.
Well, I phoned my house because Mr. Dines said he hadn't received a Christmas present." Miss Normand went on, regardless of the court's ruling.
"How long were you there before Greer returned?"
"About 45 minutes. I think Joe—I mean Mr. Kelly—that was the name I knew him by—was to bring the present over. Not to call for me then to take me home."
At this point Justice Hanby admonished Miss Normand to address her testimony to him, and not to the courtroom in general.
"I will, thank you, judge," she promised.
A blackboard was produced and Deputy District Attorney Shelly drew a diagram on it of Dines' apartment. It was the chalk Shelly used that Miss Normand used to draw lines on the judge's desk later in her testimony.
Now, where did you first see Greer when he returned?
"Well, the doorbell rang and Mr. Dines asked who was there. And someone answered," Joe (Continued on page six)
