LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14. "Nice looking car," remarked Masscoe Mack Spizer to Officer G. K. Bolton as he stood admiring a new car. "I only bought it yesterday and I lost the key already," said Spizer as he lifted the hood and connected the wires. He waved his hand at the officer and started to drive away. Bolton leaped onto the running board and ordered him to stop. Today, in Justice Russell's court, Spizer found that the automobile belonged to the officer. Spizer was held to answer a grand larceny charge. NAME TEAM IN HOLDING CO. DRIVE 12 Captains and 48 tenants Called Int Conference Friday Twelve teams of five men named to conduct a drive PROSECUTION Claim Extravagance in Management of Chain Clothing Stores The unit holders in the Keen Hall Stores will not recover a penny thru the proposed prosecution of Glenn B. Churchill and O. O. Hardebeck, trustees, but they may be able to get something later thru a civil action by attaching the assets of the two men. Between 50 and 60 unit holders have each subscribed two percent of their unit interests to help defraud the cost of the investigation, and Messrs. Pugh and Miller of the well known drilling concern have guaranteed any extra expense. Two thirds of the cash subscribed for units was put up in Anaheim, two-ninths in Long Beach and the rest in Fresno, Los Angeles and cities near it. The $104,000 worth of units actually paid for in cash, besides the $11,000 worth or more for which notes were given, is legally not worth the paper it is written upon, because the trustees did not deposit the $10,000 cash, $5000 each, in the first place as the corporation laws required. Franklin P. Steed, certified public accountant, who aided at Tuesday's meeting of the unit holders at the Tabernacle, said so today. If anything is recovered by a civil action, it may amount to five to 10 per cent, ample to reimburse unit holders for what they put into it. Steed is donating $100 in services. The present as principally merchandise are here and in Long Beach will not do more than satisfy creditors' claims. According to Steed, the evidence shows that the two trustees during 1923 alone appropriated $10,000 in salaries at $500 to $600 per month each, which they merely put under a general salary account. At first, the two drew smaller sums. W. F. Poote, bookkeeper here, was paid $250 per month. Poote, if he were an ordinarily good bookkeeper, would not have permitted his books to be kept in such involved condition as they were. Steed averred "Unintelligible and unexplained" accounts are on the records, money was switched by the trustees from one bank to another, etc. The banks used by the trustees were the Anaheim National of Anaheim, the Western Savings of Long Beach, the Citizens' National of Los Angeles and the Valley Bank of Fresno. DECIDE UPON NEW OIL WELL TONIGHT H. V. Roy and B. F. Bowen, organizers of the Capital Oil Co. of Riverside, will get their answer tonight on whether they get a 100-acre lease at Cypress from Chas. T. B. Jones, financial backer of the Gaddie Oil Co. and holder of nearly 1000 acres in leases. In order to expedite development of the field, Jones let lot of 100 acres to R. H. Morey of the Garner Oil Co. and another 100 to the Midas Pet Corp. Both the Garner and Midas have set stakes for wells and will begin unloading derrick material in a few days. Jones is willing to release another 100 to the River-side company if it can start drilling immediately. Roy and Bowen will confer night with Morey and with H. A. Gaddie and F. Leslie Meeker, representatives of Jones. The Capital Oil Co. has two wells at Signal Hill, one doing 300 barrels and another 700. SCHOLARSHIP AT A. H. S.

Poole, bookkeeper here, was paid $250 per month. Poole, if he were an ordinarily good bookkeeper, would not have permitted his books to be kept in such involved condition as they were. Steed averred, "Unintelligible and unexplained" accounts are on the records, money was switched by the trustees from one bank to another, etc. The banks used by the trustees were the Anaheim National of Anaheim, the Western Savings of Long Beach, the Citizens' National of Los Angeles and the Valley Bank of Frenoo. The Long Beach and Anaheim stores are the only ones which survive. The former was started along with the one in Freano in March, 1933. The trustees tried to open a store also at Alhambra, but its property was attached by L. N. France of Long Beach, on account of unpaid loans, and the store never did business. France was employed at the Frenoo store for a while. The latter closed last September. The trustees reported having stores in Los Angeles and Glendale, but never had. France is one of the chief, perhaps the chief unit holder outside of Messrs. Pugh and Miller, his share having been more than $2500. Other heavy unit holders: Mrs. J. T. Burgess, E. B. Drummond, H. H. Armbrust, H. J. Fay and W. B. Fay, all of Anaheim, and Oscar Anderson and Orson J. Barr of Long Beach. Hardbeck, when he first solicited here, averred that all funds which he received were placed in the Anaheim National and kept there, but also made it clear that he and Churchill were under the control of the unitholders. In January, 1922, a small cent was paid to psychological effect," as it is. F. H. Bly, former manager, aided Hardbeck by words of mouth in soliciting funds. Bly now is in the real estate business at Long Beach. The federal bankruptcy court, working with the Los Angeles Board of Trade and the State Corporation Commissioner's office now is in charge of the affairs of the company. The federal authorities, to bring a criminal charge might base it on some such charge (Continued on Page Two) BREA OILMAIN DIES Gilbert C.

WITH DRAWN One Sensation Follows Another in Teapot Inquiry Today. WASHINGTON,Feb.14.-President Coolidge late this afternoon withdrew from the senate the nomination of Silas H. Strawn of Chicago.as Republican member of the special government counsel to prosecute the naval oil reserve leases. No action was taken on Atlee Pomerence the Democratic member of the counsel,d despite the fact that only an hour earlier the senate public lands committee had decided both men to be unacceptable. At the White House it was indicated there was no present intention of withdrawing the nomination of Pomerene.它 was further intimated that selection of a successor to Strawn might be expected tomorrow. Strawn was declared unacceptable by the committee because of his directorship in two Chicago "Standard Oil" banks. Pomerene was opposed because of charges made against him by the railroad brotherhoods while both men were held to be inexperienced in litigation such as will be necessary in connection with the prosecution of the oil scandal. WASHINGTON,Feb.14-Frank A.Vanderlip.New York financier who made sensational instinations concerning the sale of Marion Star by the late president Harding,did not get a chance today to tell the senate oil investigating committee what law behind his veiled chargee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14—Sensation followed sensation today as the senate oil investigators dig deeper into the morass of amazing circumstances, underlying the leasing of the great naval oil reserves to Sinclair and Doheny interests. John C. Shaffer, owner of a string of western newspapers, appeared before the committee and revealed that as early as March, 1921, only a matter of days after he had been sworn in as secretary of the interior, Albert B. Fall was negotiating with Harry F. Sinclair for the lease of Teapot Dome. The contract was not consummated for more than a year later—in April, 1922. Shaffer revealed too, that he himself received $125,000 out of the settlements which Sinclair made in satisfying rival claimants to the dome area. Under gruelling questioning by members of the committee, the publisher once admitted that it had the appearance of "a gift," altho he defended it on the grounds of his prior claims and the fact he had spent considerable money in developing property. "Your whole theory with Fall was that you, having owned adjacent land, you should be given preference rights in Teapot Dome?" "Not preference rights. I just wanted a lease to 200 acres." "Do you think anyone else could have gone to Fall and secured the same advantage?" "Yes, I think so." This conference was in the summer of 1921 and the lease was made in April, 1922? "I must have my years wrong. I haven't my records here." "When you went to Fall, you knew he was negotiating with Sinclair?" "Oh, yes." "When did you see Sinclair?" "A few weeks after that." If you got $92,500 for one-eighth interest in Pioneer, what became of the other $260,000? Eight times 92,500 is $740,000 and Pioneer got $1,000,000 from Sinclair." "Oh, it has not been paid yet. I am to get $125,000." (Continued on page three) VOWS MURDERER SISTER SHALLY ALVARADO, Texas, F.A.

THE GADDIE WELL No. 1 has struck shells in its well half a mile south of Cypress, H. A. Gaddie and L. C. Meeker, Fullerton ecologist declared today, making it as certain as any thing short of oil sand can that there is oil in the vicinity. Both blue shale and shells may exist without the well being over a pool, but the pool is always nearby and nearly always accessible, they declared. The blue in the shale is caused by the presence of gas, Gaddie explained. Meeker has been working in this field for years, he averred today. Another feature of today's oil news was the reminder of a man interested that the Standard Oil Co.'s well near Placentia ave, and Wagner road will be shown promising or otherwise, in the opinion of the company, if the rights of way leased are clinched on March 1, the final data. If the company has no confidence in obtaining oil, it will not bother with the leases. The company, however, could use the pipe line for another well, and always has been understood as intending to drill at least one more well in the general vicinity of this one.

CLAIM GOAT GLAND SPECIALIST FAKE SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14—Charged with practicing medicine without a license, Francis Eugene Elmer, was under arrest here while police and agents of the state medical board investigated his alleged career here as a "good and monkey gland specialist" catering exclusively to women. According to police, society women of the bay district paid Elmer as high as $5000 for rejuvenation operations. Women sleuths who secured elaborately engraved invitations, they said, visited his luxurious office apartments and obtained evidence upon which Policewoman Katherine Eisenhart swore to the warrant on which the specialist was arrested. The state medical board said a license was denied Elmer because of suspicions they held regarding his diploma from a Baltimore school and license from a Florida state board. VOWS MURDERER OF SISTER SHALL PAY ALVARADO, Texas, Feb. 14—A vow of vengeance—of unceasing search for the murder of his "golden butterfly" sister—was worn over the body of Louise NAB 2 MORE FOR RICHFIELD THEFT Jesus Jiminez and Ramon Barrasa, Mexicans, living near Yorba, were arrested last night on the charge of being connected with the recent theft of tires and other valuables from The Atwood Service station. Marquez was arrested yesterday on the same charge, a portion of the loot having been found in his possession. All three deny any knowledge of the affair. S. J. Flaherty and Edward Wiles, both of Los Angeles, were fined $25 each, or sentenced to 25 days in jail, in Fullerton police court. John Johnson, charged with trespassing, was sentenced to 20 days in jail. MILLIONAIRE ASKS FOR 2 CHILDREN LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14—Determined to keep his two children from the custody of their mother, L. P. Hill, Tacoma millionaire lumberman, was to appear in juvenile court today with attorneys to fight the habeas corpus proceedings brought by his divorced wife, Mrs. Frances Stanton, and her husband, Earl A. Stanton, who were arrested last week on a charge of kidnapping. The children, Francis Hill, 11, and James Preston Hill, 7, are being held in juvenile hall pending the outcome of charges against their mother and stepfather, who are at liberty on $1000 bond each until they appear on a charge of being fugitives from justice. LANE STORE WILL OPEN HERE SOON J. A. Farley and Jas. Astle, special representatives of Lane's Chain Stores, Inc., have obtained a five-year lease on the store-room now occupied by Efker's novelty shop on Center-st. and will open a lane store as soon as it can be vacated and alterations made. Efker will conduct a brief consolidation sale and then combine the novelty stock with his Toyland shop on N. Los Angeles. Fifty-five hundred and seventy dollars, including almost $2000 in one-dollar bills and the rest in lives, tens and twenties, was found in a wooden box buried 18 inches deep in an alley by the house of J. U. Hemmi of Torrance, former Anaheim attorney, postoffice inspectors revealed today. In Hemmi's house was a black satchel with J. R. Abernathy's name and street address printed in ink inside it. The satchel is supposed to have been used to contain the money. The money had been recounted and tied in five bundles. This makes a total of approximately $11,170 recovered. The bag had a false bottom to it, which made it decidedly convenient for the purpose it was used for. Hemmi himself led the inspectors to his house and later made a statement, not a confession, in which he tried to explain that he had been acting for a client and had not known the money came from Anaheim postoffice or bank funds. The discovery was made on Monday, the inspectors apparently having wished to conceal the matter until more evidence was forthcoming. Hemmi's statement was made to U. S. Attorney Joe Burke and will constitute an important exhibit when the case comes to trial. It tells the story of Hemmi's trip to Lutesville, Mo., already described, when Inspector Lowe was on the same train. Whether the approximately $11,000 recovered, all of which apparently had been originally in currency in Abernathy's possession, clinches the suspicion of the inspectors that Abernathy had obtained at least two-thirds of the total of $22,000 to $25,000 or both his own share and that of J. L. Findlay, former postoffice messenger, the inspectors are not prepared to declare positively, because Abernathy may have been allowed a considerable sum for expenses incurred in getting rid of the loot. Of the tota lamount $5200 was in checks found in Hemmi's office in Torrance on which payment was stopped. Hemmi and Findlay will be arraigned next Monday, and the date of trial of all four men set on March 3. RUSSIA DEMANDS Stock Exchange Will Open in Valencia Hotel Lobby Tonight At 7:30 this evening the Anaheim Stock Exchange in the Valencia Hotel lobby will open to the public. A most complete and up-to-date board has been installed and all listed and unlisted securities will be quoted. The formal opening will be attended by many Los Angeles brokers and their friends. Chas. Akkin will make the opening quotations as a courtesy to R. H. Morey who will manage and conduct the Anaheim Board. Mr. Morey said, "We will serve the investors of Orange-co, and I am sure they will appreciate the service we will render. If they will get our free advice on all issues before investing we can perhaps save them thousands of dollars." "Many wild cat promotion stocks are sold in which the investor has no chance of profit and it is this vicious practice which we hope to curb by keeping the investor posted on daily market conditions." "We recommend absolutely nothing except our service," said Mr. Morey. LANE STORE WILL OPEN HERE SOON J. A. Parley and Jas. Astle, special representatives of Lane's Chain Stores, Inc., have obtained a five-year lease on the store-room now occupied by Efker's novelty shop on Center-st, and will open a Lane store as soon as it can be vacated and alterations made. Efker will conduct a brief consolidation sale and then combine the novelty stock with his Toyland shop on N. Los Angeles-st. The Lane store is similar to Woolworth plan except that there is a grocery department and articles up to $1 are sold. RECOVER CLOTHES Several hundred dollars' worth of new clothing, including wedding trousseau, of Mrs. Ethel Schanley of Portland, has been recovered. The clothing was taken in a suitcase from an auto in front of the home of her uncle, Charles Eygabroad, several days ago. The suitcase was found on the John Cook ranch.
