Cornellus quarreled with the conductor when he was ordered to stop smoking in the car, and after getting the trainmen's thumb between his teeth refused to let go until a lady passenger pulled his nose painfully. "Biting a conductor's thumb is a serious offense," Judge John B. Gordon ruled.

S. veto IN WELL Leases Three Miles From City Require Drilling of 912 Holes With an oil well apparently assured at the Standard test on the Wagner ranch at Placentia-ave and Vermont-at, there were numerous reports that several more wells would be started immediately in the vicinity. It has been known all along that the minute it was definitely determined oil is to be found about Anaheim, extensive developments would be started. A well-known oil field geologist stated today that leases now existing on land within three miles of the city limits require the drilling of 912 wells. On the other hand, development of the Anaheim field will be extended over a much longer period than at other so. Cal fields since the leaves are practically all confined to the biggest companies in large banks and there will be none of the frenzied corner-hat diving that caused the disastrous bunk at Santa Fe Springs. In fact, men given there never been a wildcat field in So. Cal. so won protected in this respect as the Anaheim district. While no information was forthcoming direct from the standard well on the Wagner ranch, where oil men are more reticent than ever about imparting information, it was inserted today that everything pointed to the bringing in of a satisfactory well. A geologist, not employed by the Standard, stated the well was handling the hole as they had found 60 or 80 feet of sand. It is known that the oilmen have been ordered to take a core every few feet and it was believed today preparations were being made to cement it again and bring in the well. It was possible, of course, that the Standard, intent upon a thorofeet on all salts, may proceed with drilling for considerable more depth. The hole is now down about 3600 feet and reaming out operations have been under way for several ways.

BURTON MAY BE DENBY'S SUCCESSOR WASHINGTON, March 6.—Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, veteran of more than a quarter century's service in congress, and once a candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency loomed up today as a likely successor to Edwin Denby as secretary of the navy. Ohioans are bringing strong pressure to bear on President Coolidge to make the appointment, and it was learned today that the president has it under serious consideration. Announcement of Denby's successor is expected from the White House within a few days. More than a score of candidates have been brought forward Denby retires on Monday and it is President Coolidge's intention to have his successor immediately take hold of the navy department. Any interim between Denby's retirement and the appointment of his successor would leave assistant Secretary Theodore Roosevelt in charge—a situation that Republican leaders have pointed out to President Coolidge might lead to renewed criticism in the senate in view of the recent demands in that body for Roosevelt's resignation. It is regarded as probable that Denby's successor will come either from Ohio or Michigan. Three Ohioans also will be brought forward as active candidates—Burton and Representative E. B. Stephens of North Bend, a lawyer and ex-soldier, who is a member of the naval affairs committee, and Harvey D. Goulder of Cleveland, an attorney with great experience in shipping matters. RESIGN Renewed Pressure Being Brot to Bear Upon Pres. Coolidge By GEORGE R. HOLMES I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, March 6.—Smarting under the official allegation that two of its members have accepted bribes in connection with the veterans bureau scandal, the house of Representatives this afternoon formally called upon the department of justice to name the accused congressmen. WASHINGTON, March 6.—Renewed pressure of the heaviest sort is being brought to bear on President Coolidge to demand the immediate resignation of Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty. It comes principally from within his own party—from men who believe the continuation of the attorney general in the cabinet constitutes a political liability too heavy to be borne. This additional pressure has resulted in widespread speculation in republican quarters to his successor, White House would neither deny or affirm that President Coolidge has really taken under consideration the names of those suggested to succeed Daugherty. The attorney general himself is entrusted to Washington today from Miami. He will arrive here tomorrow. There is reason to believe that his decision to return immediately to Washington was occasioned in some degree to the renewed activities of those who are most insistent in their demands upon the White House for his retirement. Fighting political attacks at long range has its disadvantages and from the attorney general's confidantes today came assurances that he would fight this new attack as savagely as he fought the earlier efforts to force his retirement before he has had his "day in court." The renewed pressure for the custoning of Daugherty has been brought in view of the revelations before the federal grand jury in Chicago that two members of Congress received $30,000 for their activity in securing clemency for the release of federal prisoners. Candidates for the attorney general's post have been brought to the attention of the president almost without number. Judge William S. Kenyon of Iowa; Judge Frank S.

Morrison pleaded not guilty and trial was set for April 1. Children like Dr. Neth; Dr. Neth likes children. The renewed pressure for the custing of Daugherty has been brought in view of the revelations before the federal grand jury in Chicago that two members of congress received $30,000 for their activity in securing clemency for the release of federal prisoners. Candidates for the attorney general's post have been brought to the attention of the president almost without number. Judge William S. Kenyon of Iowa; Judge Frank S. Dietrich of Idaho; Judge Curtis D. Wilbur of California; Senator William E. Borah of Idaho; Charles B. Warren of Michigan; William Hayward of New York; Governor Alex J. Groesbeck of Michigan; Sillas H. Strawn of Chicago—these are but a few of those whose qualifications have been brought under the president's scrutiny. Congress is in a furore over the charges that two of its members are about to be indicted for accepting bribes. The rumor mill is going full tilt, charges and counter charges being whispered about the corridors and cloak rooms, reputations are being torn to threads in the "grapevine gossip" of the capitol and many members of congress are indignant at what they term the mantle of suspicion that has been cast over the entire membership. Representative Garrett of Ten., the democratic leader, demanded an immediate clearing up of the cloud of suspicion. "In these hectic times," he said, "when suspicion is running strongly against the different branches of the government, it seems to me to be highly important that the house take immediate steps to vindicate or condemn any of its members charged with wrongdoing. But the responsibility rests with the republicans." WASHINGTON, March senate without a dissent! this afternoon passed an a resolution offered by Sena Kellar, Democrat of Tennessee questing President Coolidge all necessary actions to permit the senate oil imposition committee to examine some tax records of Harry clair, E. L. Doheny, E. L., Jr., Albert B. Fall, and F. Lean. Earlier in the day, the dent in refusing 15 turp these records had pointed could not take such a step violating the law, but had ed the Senate that arrangement could be made for the co-op to go to the treasury department and examine them.

Among them were: 1—President Coolidge is shown to have been in communication with E. B. McLean, one of the central figures in the oil investigation while the latter was at Palm Beach. 2—Senatorial investigators unearthed and published two telegrams from the president to McLean. They were found in the mass of telegrams secured under subpoena from the files of local telegraph offices. It was said to be the first time in history that the confidential messages of a president were thus secured and made public. 3—President Coolidge issued two statements at the White House, explaining the telegrams and denying they concerned the oil investigation. 4—Criminal prosecution of ex-secretary Albert B. Fall, and others concerned in the naval oil leases will be started on April first through the creation of a federal grand jury in Washington to hear the evidence. 5—Civil action in California and Wyoming courts will be started to recover the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills reserves from H. F. Sinclair and E. L. Doheny on the ground that they were secured MORE TESTIMONY IN STARK CASE J. F. Ahiborn, city recorder, was today taking additional testimony in the case of Bert Stark, charged with not having brakes in working order, whose case was taken under advisement yesterday. The judge said he would probably not render a decision until after the trial of J. W. Waters, charged with reckless driving, in the same accident, to be heard Monday before a jury. A new angle to the case developed this morning when L. B. Stump, patrolman, told the judge that Stark had told the police that he did not want the car left on the street following the accident on which the car had turned turtle at Adele and N. Los Angeles-st., in trying to avoid striking another car, and hurting Miss Olive Webster of Olive, one of the four occupants. The car was taken to the Stump and Preston Garage on So. Los Angeles-st., on the orders of C. B. Baxter, patrolman. Stark, according to Stump, told the officers that the car belonged to him. Now Stark says it belonged to his father, and his father has presented a bill of $3 to the city council for payment of garage expenses, complaining that the officers acted without instructions. No evidence had been presented by court today that the brakes were not in good working order, stark testifying that they were, but testimony was to be taken by the judge today from the men who tested the brakes. A written statement was given by Stark that Waters was driving the car with his consent. He says in this statement that the car did not have a registration certificate, that his father had taken it off. CLAGSTONE TALKS AT C. C. LUNCHEON A well-received talk on what the United States C. of C. is doing was given today at the membership meeting of the local C. of C. at the Elks club by Paul Clagstone president of the Western Division of the U. S. C. of C. There were 11 members of the C. of C. present. Prior to the introduction of the speaker, topics of local interest including the industrial site proposition and the extension of North Lemon-st to Fullerton were discussed. Mr. Clagstone emphasized organization as shown in the work of the U. S. C. of C., which was organized in New York at the close of the war. The shamier is now working not only all over the U. S., but with 40 foreign countries as well. Julies Barnes, president of the U. S. C. of C., called the first meeting of the transportation committees whose work resulted in the transportation organization that is now serving the nation, and the putting back of the railways into private ownership. He said that the U. S. C. of C. is working in close touch with the government. GRAMMAR SCHOOL MEET MARCH 15TH Anaheim grammar school has accepted an invitation to a track and field meet at Fullerton, March 15.

S. government, thru its special counsel, Owen J. Roberts and Atlee Pomerene, will ask the courts this week to cancel the naval oil leases secured by Harry F. Sinclair and E. L Doheny, it was announced today. The bills have already been prepared and will be filed, in the case of Sinclair, in the district of Wyoming, where Teapot Dome is located; and in the case of Doheny, in the southern district of California. Preliminary hearings on these cases will be held one week from today. The Wyoming federal court has already set the date for March 13 and the California court is expected to similar action. In both cases the government will contend that the losses were secured "fraudulently and illegally" and will ask the courts to restore the reserves to the government on those grounds. WASHINGTON, March 6—For the first time since the oil scandal broke, the name of President Coolidge was drawn directly into the inquiry today thru the discovery of a telegram he sent to E. B. McLean, wealthy Washington publisher, at Palm Beach, last January. This telegram was read into the records of the senate public lands committee shortly after it went into session this morning to examine a new batch of about 250 telegrams secured from the Western Union and Postal files: *Washington*, January 12. *E. B. McLean* *Palm Beach* *Prescott is away*, advise Slemp with whom I shall confer, Acknowledge. *CALVIN COOLIDGE.* Prescott was not identified. It may have referred to Anson W. Prescott, secretary of the Republican publicity association. This telegram, it was shown, was sent by the president on the day after McLean was examined at Palm Beach by Senator Walsh (on January 11) in which McLean revealed for the first time that the $100,000 in checks he loaned to ex-secretary Fall were returned uncashed. A few minutes after this telegram was read into the record, another message from the president to McLean at Palm Beach No evidence had been presented the court today that the brakes were not in-good working order, stark testifying that they were, but testimony was to be taken by the judge today from the men who tested the brakes. A written statement was given by Stark that Waters was driving the car with his consent. He says this statement that the car did not have a registration certificate, that his father had taken it off to have the former owner sign it. OILMAR INJURED Ira C.

Bascom Semp, was in Palm Beach on a trip that he last week denied was a "mission", but which he said was purely a vacation. A second was sent only a short time before McLean returned to Washington in response to advises from his representatives here that he had better return immediately because of the imminence of his being subpoenaed before the investigating committee. There was a dramatic stir in the crowded room when the Coolidge messages were read. The greatest throng that has yet attended the hearings jaunned the big room to capacity in anticipation of hearing more secret telegrams read and gave an audible gasp and then dead silence as the first message was read. Not all the members of the committee were present when the first message, January 11, advising McLean to confer with Semp, and an immediate buzz ran around the table as Senator Walsh read the message slowly. Members of the committee said this message was not disclosed to all the committees yesterday when the telegrams were gone over in secret session behind doors. The investigators were to find McLean's answer to Coolidge's January sage which Mr. Condit (Continued on Pa.) may have referred to Anson W. Prescott, secretary of the Republican publicity association. This telegram, it was shown, was sent by the president on the day after McLean was examined at Palm Beach by Senator Walsh (on January 11) in which McLean revealed for the first time that the $100,000 in checks he loaned to ex-secretary Fall were returned uncashed. A few minutes after this telegram was read into the record, another message from the president to McLean at Palm Beach was read. It follows: "Washington, February 12, 1924 E. B. McLean, Palm Beach. "Thank you for your kind message. You have always been most considerate. Mrs. Coolidge joins me in kindest regards to yourself and Mrs. McLean." Coolidge Declines to Reveal Doheny’s Income Tax Records WASHINGTON, March 6.—The Senate without a dissenting vote is afternoon passed an amended resolution offered by Senator McLearl, Democrat of Tennessee, requesting President Coolidge to make all necessary arrangements permit the senate oil investigation committee to examine the income tax records of Harry F. Simair, E. L. Doheny, E. L. Doheny, Albert B. Fall, and F. B. McLean. Earlier in the day, the president in refusing to turn over these records had pointed out he would not take such a step without isolating the law, but had informed the senate that arrangements could be made for the committee to go to the treasury department and examine them. WASHINGTON, March 6.—President Coolidge today declined to turn over to the senate public lands committee the income tax records of E. L. Doheny, Harry F. Simair, E. L. Doheny Jr., E. B. McLean and Albert Fall for use in the oil investigation. The president declared he was prevented from complying with the request for these records by existing regulations of the treasury department. He offered, however, to co-operate with the secretary of the treasury in changing the regulations so that members of the committee could inspect records at the department. The president's reply was turned over to the oil investigating committee without action.
