Inasmuch as Judge Brown confessed to the transportation of liquor and to other violations of the law, it is incumbent upon him to resign also as Justice of the Peace and take his place in private life. "If any of the councilmen are in any degree sympathetic with lawlessness, they would make a contribution to the welfare of this community also to resign. Personally I am in hearty sympathy with the national campaign now going on to stamp out lawlessness and anarchy in any form, and if there are laws upon our statute books that are unjust or wrong these laws should be repealed. But they cannot be repealed by violation of law on the part of the officers charged with their enforcement.

Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Evidence gathered thus far by the senate committee investigating the leasing of naval oil reserves by Secretary of Interior Fall to B. L. Doheny and H. F. Sinclair, American oil millionaires, points toward criminal action in the opition of President Coolidge, it was declared officially at the White House this afternoon. Two questions still remained to be determined, a spokesman for the president said. These are: 1. If there has been criminal action in connection with the leasing of the oil reserves to private interests, and, 2. If the U.S. government has been injured. Investigations to this end will be made by the department of justice, administration officials said. In addition to the $100,000 in cash which he borrowed from Edward L. Doheny, multimillionaire oil magnate, Pall also secured from Colonel J. W. Zevely, a business partner of Sinclair, the sum of $25,000 in liberty bonds in the autumn of 1921, Zevely testified this afternoon. The money, Zevely declared, was given to Fall for the purpose of making a trip to Russia in the interests of the Sinclair people. Zevely said that after Fall resigned as secretary of the Interior Sinclair asked him to go to Russia for him to settle some international questions involving oil leases. Before accepting the position with Sinclair, Zevely said, Fall consulted with administration officials to determine whether there would be an imprint of entering the employ of a man to whom he had leased naval reserve lands. Aize Zevely declared, Fall told Sinclair he could not go until he settled up some transactions concerning his ranch in Three Rivers, N. M. At Falls' direction the money was sent to a bank in El Paso, Texas, for his use. "I never actually handled the liberty bonds," Zevely said. "They were handled by Mr. Standford, Sinclair's New York counsel, who had the money sent to El Paso." Zevely also said Sinclair loan- CURSES GRADUATE live student nurses at the Alberton hospital receive gradation diplomas tonight at special exercises at Fullerton club. Mrs. E. R.

Dines’ Bathrobe, Important Evidence, Strangely Missing S ANGELES, Jan. 25.—Dispatty Asa' Keyes today called a Purviance, present in theiment of Courtland S. Dines on he was shot New Years eve by Horace A. Greer, chauffer for Miss Normand, to appear in his office this afternoon at 3 o'clock for questioning on her memory given at Greer's preliminary hearing. At the same time Keyes announced he had called Miss Norrod to appear before him tomorrow for the same purpuree gay colored bathrobe, worn Dines when he was shot, an important exhibit in the case, is seriously missing it was learned today. The robe as yet has not been produced as an exhibit in the importance of the robe, it was stated, is that it establishes clearly how close Greer stood to Dines when he fired the revelver that sent a bullet tearing through Dines' chest. District Attorney Asa Keyes today ordered an investigation to ascertain why the robe was not turned over to the district attorney's office by police detectives who investigated the case. The position of the bullet hole in the robe, it is claimed, will also establish the positions in which Dines and Greer were standing when the shots were fired. The $5900 bond ordered by Justice Hanby to hold Dines as a material witness and assure his appearance in court later, was posted by Dines' attorney, W. L. Gilbert. The money was furnished thru a Denver, Colo., bank. AIZE Zeverly declared, Fall told Sinclair he could not go until he settled up some transactions concerning his ranch in Three Rivers, N. M. At Falls' direction the money was sent to a bank in El Paso, Texas, for his use. "I never actually handled the liberty bonds," Zeverly said. "They were handled by Mr. Standford, Sinclair's New York counsel, who had the money sent to El Peso." Zeverly also said Sinclair loaned him $500 shares of Sinclair oil stock, worth about $115,000 and which he used in buying a home in Long Island. Colonel Zeverly came into the room ten minutes early accompanied by A. E. Watts secretary of the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Co., and G. T. Stanford, Sinclair's personal counsel. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Haggard of face and obviously broken in spirit by the succession of ugly charges that have been hurled at him in the last two weeks, ex-secretary of the interior Albert B. Fall struck at his accusers today with what he declared to be the "true story" of the famous $100,000 loan. "There was no connection whatever between the $100,000 I received from Doheny and the lease he obtained for naval reserve lands in California." Fall told International News Service. He referred to testimony of E. L. Dobeny, president of the Pan-American Petroleum Co., before the senate public lands committee investigating naval reserve leases to private interests. The oil marinate declared he loaned Fall the $100,000 Nov. 30 1921 on a promissory note, and that no mention has been made since that time about payment of the loan. "I loaned him (Fall) the money because he has been a warm personal friend of mine for 30 years and I was happy to do this favor for a friend, especially as I (Continued on page six) FOR SALE—1 Reo speed was hit on, 2 Ford trucks, 1 Internationale at truck, 1, 3 1-2 ton trailers; Eldiste and Co.; Orange; Ana; Fullerton.
