FIREBUGS IGNITE Vanderlip Admits Insinuation KEEN STORE TRUSTEES SPENDERS Churchill and Hardebeck Are Believed to Have Expended $18,000 Egyptians May Take Over King Tut Tomb CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 15.—The Egyptian government may take over the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen as a result of the dispute with Howard Carter, chief of the Egyptologists working in the Valley of Kings it was learned today. Foreign tourists who flocked to Egypt to see the 3000-year-old tomb are besieging the government to arrange to have it reopened to sightseers. Premier Zaghioul Pasha is personally studying the situation. COUNCIL M SEEK BOO IN SALAR City Treasurer's S Increased From $10 $125 Per Month Churchill and Hardebeck Are Believed to Have Expended $18,000 The 285 or more unit holders of the Keen Hat Stores, the majority of whose live in Anaheim and vicinity, need not expect in any way to recover any large sums out of the $100,000 collected on units by Trustees Glenn B. Churchill and O. C. Hardbeck. The latter in all probability have no considerable amounts, that is, "salted away" somewhere, altho they made careful preparation to fight their case retaining L. J. Allen of Los Angeles as attorney, who was paid $4000 and to whom is owing $300 more, according to the books. It is estimated that the trustees personally expended $15,000 each, and possibly more than that in the past 18 months. Of the remaining $70,000 large sums went to purchase stocks of men's furnishings of good quality for the stores in Anaheim, Long Beach and Freano, which alone actually did business, and for supplies, which were bought in large quantities. Careless management ate up further profits. The trustees, unless they were trying to manufacture evidence for later use by their existing behavior, were decidedly hard up just before things came to a head some three weeks ago. On one occasion, for example, they drew some $15 from the cash register and divided it between them. Attorney Allen yesterday issued a letter addressed to "creditors" of Anaheim, Long Beach and Los Angeles, in which he declares that a letter of the Los Angeles Board of Trade dated Feb. 12, "falsifies and misleads." Allen's letter appears below. Franklin P. Steed, accountant, who represents the committee of unitholders of which W. N. Miller of Anaheim, of the well known drilling firm, is chairman, today declared that Attorney Wallace C. Durst of Los Angeles had been appointed receiver of the Keen Hat Stores by the Federal Bankruptcy Court, and that his jurisdiction had replaced that of the Los Angeles Board of Trade. The trustees themselves, apparently, had thrown the case into the bankruptcy court, when they found themselves unable to raise the cash to free themselves from the attachment obtained by the Board of Trade. If Attorney BIG PROGRAM FOR WATER AND SEWER City council last night approved plans for a $20,000 sewer program and $110,000 water system extensions. The former will be built with money received from sale of Stanton farm and a special bond election will be held after city election for latter. Council instructed City Atty, H. V. Weisler to proceed with prosecution of about 75 business and professional men delinquent $700 for city licenses. Contract for 190 cedar poles was awarded Chas. R. McCormick & Co., Los Angeles, at $3754. The two-hour parking ordinance was adopted and becomes effective in 30 days. About 20 signatures appeared on the petition requesting that if condemnation proceedings were instituted to widen Center west of Clementine that the expansion be effective to West-st., instead of stopping at Palm st. as first proposed. Council learned it is going to take a lot of water to fill the park plunge and a lot of gas to heat it. The boilers consume 36,000 feet of gas per hour. The 286,000 gallons of water were heated from 54 to 62 degrees Wednesday and from 62 to 74 in 4-1-2 hours Thursday morning. The contractor stated that whenever the temperature was brought to that figure in the morning, it would remain that high all day because of the heat of the bodies of the bathers. Anaheim used to be proud of its 173,000 gallon reservoir. The swimming pool holds 50 p.c.more.

N. Miller of Anaheim, of the well known drilling firm, is chairman, today declared that Attorney Wallace C. Durst of Los Angeles had been appointed receiver of the Keen Hat Stores by the Federal Bankruptcy Court, and that his jurisdiction had replaced that of the Los Angeles Board of Trade. The trustees themselves, apparently, had thrown the case into the bankruptcy court, when they found themselves unable to raise the cash to free themselves from the attachment obtained by the Board of Trade. If Attorney Durst represents the trustee's interests, a new and interesting angle is brought into the case. Anyhow he, and not the Board of Trade, will conduct the sales of goods which begin tomorrow. The committee of unitholders will meet again probably next Tuesday or Wednesday evening, when further action will be planned and reports made of what has been accomplished so far in the matter of prosecuting the trustees on the criminal charge brought by Bert Kuebler of Anaheim of obtaining money by false pretences. The penalty on conviction of such a charge is one to 14 years and each of the unitholders can bring a similar charge, although there is a limit to the accumulated sentences that may be passed. Kuebler's and all similar charges legally must be pushed by the district attorney acting for the people as plaintiffs, but the large amount of investigation required will make the aid of the unitholders themselves necessary. The object of the letter of the unitholders' committee outlined yesterday in these columns was primarily to raise money. The 50 to 60 unitholders present at Tuesday's meeting unanimously voted aid to the extent of two per cent of their interests. The other 200 or more (Continued on Page Two) BULIDING PERMITS Aug.

RAY MILLION FOR CLAIMS Thomas Declares Sinclair So Negotiated Month Before Lease Made WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—H. F. Sinclair, in a contract negotiated March 11, 1922, one month before he leased Teapot Dome, agreed to pay the Pioncer and allied oil companies $1,000,000 to settle claims of those companies upon the Wyoming reserve, it was declared today before the senate public lands committee by George A. Thomas, Denver secretary and treasurer of the Pioncer Oil Co. Thomas said his company under the administration of Secretary of Interior John Barton Payne, had applied for $220 acres in the central part of Teapot Dome and for the lease of four wells on another part of the reserve. Wors out by the ordeal of more than a month's continuous work in probing into the naval oil scandal, members of the senate public lands committee late this afternoon voted to suspend further hearings for nine days, until Monday, Feb. 25. Severent of the senators—notably Senator Walsh of Montana—are showing plainly the great strain under which they have been working. WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Frank A. Vanderlip, New York financier, who insinuated there was something questionable in the sale of the Marion Star by the late President Harding, and who charged publicly that the senate oil investigators did not question Albert B. Fall at length because of fear that his testimony would involve "higher-ups" was the first witness called today by the senate public lands committee. Vanderlip took the stand before an audience that packed the hearing room as it never has been packed before. Louis H. Brush and Roy D. Moore, who bought the paper from the late president were prepared to refute Vanderlip's charges. Vanderlip was sworn by Senator Lenroot, chairman, who began the questioning.

Copp, representing a well known Los Angeles concern, last night appeared in town with a contract to erect a casing-head plant to supply the needs of the Gaddie Well No. 1, the other two wells which Gaddie expects to drill for the Midas and perhaps the Garner Oil Co., all at Cypress and the Milky Way near Broadway and Euclid-ave. Copp had a contract all ready to sign, providing for payment to his company on a royalty basis. R. H. Morey, F. Leslie Meeker, Fullerton geologist, and H. A. Gaddle, with whom he conferred, are considering the project. Copp's company has casinghead plants for the refining of gasoline at Santa Fe Springs, Signal Hill and Torrance, according to Morey. Negotiations with the Capital Oil Co., composed of Riverside men, may be favorably concluded tonight by its representatives and Morey and associated for the drilling of a well on part of the acreage of Gaddie and others around Cypress. The company practically agreed last night on the acreage it would select, but cannot consider a limit of 30 days within which to drill because its new capital will not be available by that date to cover the costs. Morey said. The company has two producing wells at Signal Hill, Capital Nos. 1 and 2, according to Morey, and voted to double its capital so as to have funds to do more drilling. All the money on this new stock has not yet come in, however. The Gaddie Well now is past the 2900 mark, with the likelihood of passing 2,000 feet by Sunday. Kreek well near Brookhurst-ave has reached approximately 2500 feet. STEAMERS COLLIDE SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15—The British steamer Comerice, bound for New York from Manila, collided with the British steamer Northwestern Miller enroute to this city from London in the Panama Canal today, according to dispatches received here by Marine Department of the Chamber of Commerce. Damage to the two vessels is unknown at the present time, the report stated. Vanderlip was sworn by Senator Lenroot, chairman, who began the questioning. "On the evening of February 12 did you make a speech at Ossining, N.Y." "No, at Briar Cliff, to the Rotary Club." "What did you mean by saying 'a certain Marion newspaper was sold for $500,000,' when everyone knew it was not worth half that much?" "I was not correctly reported in that instance. I said rumors were current and said I knew nothing whatever of the facts. Rumors go far above gossip. You heard them everywhere, in the offices, in the trains. IOT these rumors should be verified to clear the late president's name." "You that it your duty to give publicity?" "I thot it my patriotic duty. It was heard in all newspaper offices. I know it was a hard thing to do." "You can give the committee no definite information?" "No, I just heard these rumors. I don't even know the price the paper sold for. The current talk was that it sold for $550,000, that it was $600 a share. I have no information as to the value of the paper. I understand the terms included payment of $10,000 a year to Mr. Harding, as a contributing editor, the payment to be made to the widow in event of his death." "Do you know anything about the income of the paper?" "I heard $30,000 and one year that it was $69,000." "You have no other information?" "I have no accurate information for my statement—I heard the rumors." Vanderlip said, in explaining his speech, that he had no information that anyone in the oil business contributed to the purchase of the paper, altho it was clearly "implied" in the rumors he heard, that the money came from some unexpelled source. "I thot," he continued, "by bringing it out in public you gentlemen could run down these rumors." "You thot," said Lenroot, "that it was your public duty to broadcast the rumors, which, if not true (Continued on Page Two)" MUCH INTERESTS STOCK EXCHANGE Quotations on 50 to 75 ties were recorded last night; the stock and bond board opened at the Valencia Hotel lobby was crowded with interested in the board; whistle first to be opened here.

Vanderlip, New York banker, grilled for two hours by senatorial committee, admits he had nothing more substantial than "runners and gossip" on which to base his sensational reflections on President Harding and the senate committee itself. 3—Tom Johnson, foreman of Albert B. Fall's New Mexico ranch, denied receiving the $68,000 from Harry F. Sinclair mentioned by Archie Roosevelt. 4—Louis H. Brush and Roy D.

Invite 300 Leading Men to Industrial Banquet Tuesday Three hundred representative business men, it is expected will be present at a banquet Tuesday night at the Elks club to signal the opening of Anaheim's $200,000 industrial campaign. All will be the guests of the C. of C. It is planned to have a series of five-minute talks so that every one will be familiar with just what additional manufacturing concerns will mean. This afternoon there was a meeting of the workers at the city hall. Each of the 60 will invite five others as his guests Tuesday night. At the meeting of directors of C. of C. last night at the city hall, complete plans for the drive of next week were outlined and the effect of additional industry on the civic life of Anaheim discussed. It was asserted the increased manufacturing payroll made possible by the purchase of the Anaheim Sugar Co. land would radiate in all direction so that all businesses in Anaheim and No. County would benefit by the resulting prosperity. It was pointed out that with the coming in of oil wells in Anaheim that the industrial site would be available for refinery purposes and that increased building activities would come with additional workers in the plants that have already made application for space in that tract. This building activity would create additional demands for building material and labor in the Anaheim district. It is estimated that within a year at least 200 additional families would be moved to Anaheim and from statistics obtained from other industrial centers would create a payroll that would greatly increase the demand for local merchandise of all kinds. It was also revealed that several industries were looking to Anaheim and were waiting for the result of the campaign of next week before deciding upon a location. The meeting on Tuesday will be summed up by Dr. James Allen Geisinger who will present facts and figures on just what an industrial center would mean to Anaheim. It is also planned to have community singing under the direction of "Doc" Barnes and other entertaining events.

It was said at the district attorney's office that the court's instructions would make it extremely difficult, if not altogether impossible to get convictions for possession in the future.
