GRILL KEEN HAT STORE TRUSTEES Bert Kuebler and Harry E. Scott attended an examination of Hardebeck and Churchill, Keen Hat Store trustees before the referee in bankruptcy in Los Angeles. They were put thru a grilling examination by Attorney Dalton for the referee who developed some startling and interesting facts. The two denied that old stock belonging to their Des Moines Keen Hat Stores, which failed after nine months operation, had been unloaded on the California stores, but admitted that each of the trustees had put on the book a claim for over $2000 for auto mileage. Strange to say one claimed 22,980 miles and the other just 20 miles more. Another strange bill was one of $2000.00 for their attorney Allen, also entered on the books for the first time after the concern blew up. Although the business was losing money ever since April, 1923, the trustees drew an average of nearly $600.00 a month salary out of the business between them beaches upwards of $2000 commissions each in addition. They claimed that the Fresn store losses were what had ruined the whole business, but admitted that goods there had been sold for less than original cost, rather than pay freight to Long Beach or Anaheim. About $59,000 of the total of $120,000 assets were wholly unaccounted for. Considerable amusement was created by efforts to conceal the data from which they testified, but the facts were finally forced into the record. Their financial statements made as they said monthly had never contained the claims now made of over $6000 to the trustees and their attorney—and had never been entered on the company books till Feb. 1, 1924, after the investigations started by the unit holders. Another entry that looked "peculiar" was the claim that each Considerable amusement was created by efforts to conceal the data from which they testified, but the facts were finally forced into the record. Their financial statements made as they said monthly had never contained the claims now made of over $6000 to the trustees and their attorney—and had never been entered on the company books till Feb. 1, 1924, after the investigations started by the unit holders. Another entry that looked "peculiar" was the claim that each of the trustees had earned in commissions exactly the same amounts in 3 items—$482.35-$1276 and $40. Churchill at first denied that they were the same, and when confronted with the facts was unable to account for it. Mr. Varnum of Harry Scott's office accompanied the members of the committee and assisted in securing the data. It seemed at the close of the hearing that the big bills filed as the concern was about to be closed up by creditors would be disallowed. CALIF. HOTEL FULLERTON E. L. Parker, San Jose; J. A.

Karakhan, to leave the country as a result of the ultimatum served upon China by Soviet Russia demanding Chinese recognition within two days, said a Teking dispatch to the Daily Mail today. A tense situation is developing between China and Russia. The Bolsheviks control Mongola and fears are felt in Peking that Russia will invade Manchuria. Russian officials allege that American and Japanese pressure prevented China from ratifying the recognition protocol after the Chinese delegates signed it.

FRUIT SIZES UP SINCE RAINFAR The Anaheim district will have a field crop of 50 cars of miscellaneous varieties this year, with No. Orange-co. 78 cars. The farmer will have also a crop of cars of grapefruit. This was the word today from G.W. Sandilands, manager of Anaheim Orange and Lemona Ass'n, and the No. Orange-co. Corus Exchange in Fullerton. The recent rains have impaired sizes considerably in many groves, according to reports to exchange. The problem of growing larger sizes also has been solved in a number of cases more scientific methods, including better irrigating and fertility. The Exchange Products Co. San Dimas will take a larger portion of extremely small areas and other fruit not suitable for shipping than ever before, after Anaheim won't turn over much such fruit until the Valencia son has well started. Miscellaneous varieties mentioned above do not include mels, but comprise sweets, Mikes' seedlings, blooms and a Javas, homasassas and tangerine Tangerines usually are sold directly by the grower and shipped. What proportion of the miscellaneous crops of oranges will actually shipped still is uncertain. The trees of miscellaneous varieties are being replaced year by Valencias and crops inclined to diminish. PLAIN DEALER CLASSIFIED PRODUCED RESULTS SURPRISED OVER TORRANCE WELLS By E. J. Munger Surprised, astonished, elated were operators of the Torrance field over the wonderful results west end producers are giving. The past week witnessed the belonging of three producers running from 1200 to 1400 barrels. These big wells are coming in in a portion of the field that was considered that if pumping wells were secured that would be the best district would do. The owners of the big producers are the Petroleum Securities, the Standard Oil Co., and the Chanslor-Canfield Midway. The Standard Oil Co. started the big excitement by completing a 1400 barrel well on the Marble property. The well No. 1 the first to be completed on the Marble lease was drilled to only 3679 feet and came in producing 27.3 gravity oil the lightest product the Torrance field has yet produced. The Petroleum Securities (Doheny) offset the Standard well with No. 28 at 3718 a 1270 barrel well, producing 27 gravity oil. The Chanslor-Canfield Midway's No. 35 at 3715 feet came in at 1400 barrels and settled to 1375 and is making 25.4 gravity. It is a rather remarkable fact that the Standard Oil's well is the shallower of the three, is making more, and a higher gravity oil than any of the other wells. It seems a lot of credit is due to the geological department of the Standard Oil Co. in that the Marble property was picked out, even before oil was ever discovered at Torrance. The Consolidated Mutual has faith in the southeastern extension of the Torrance field and has taken over the Harbor City Investment Company's well and will proceed with the development of the property. The Consolidated called the attention of the operators to the extreme eastern end of the field when it brought in the Oakley well some months ago at $522 a 500 barrel producer. In the eastern end of the Torrance field the Shell Company led the producers with a 1000 barrel on the March lease.

In the eastern end of the Torrance field the Shell Company led the producers with a 1000 barrel on the March lease. March No. 3 completed at $850 feet and is making 19 gravity oil. The Superior Oil Co. came next with a 600 barrel well at Torrance 15. Among other producers of note completed and put on production this past week at Torrance was the Catalina View Oil Co.'s 500 barrel well at 3781 feet, the Gilder well at $796 a 450 barrel well, the Laura J. Oil Co.'s No. 1 a 450 barrel well at 3781 Solby-Root No. 4 at $772 a 406 barrel well. The Seaboard Oil Co.'s No. 1 at $774 started off at $550 barrels and the Ring Petroleum Co.'s No. 2 at $374 started at 400 barrels. If operators will accept and contribute to a plan proposed by the Bush-Voorhis Oil Co. the Terrance field will have a deep test well drilled. The Bush-Voorhis asks that operators owning the 20 acres adjoining the Fee No. 1 put in $5,000 an acre and the money will be used to put the deep test hole down. It oil is struck and a deep sand proved up the Bush-Voorhis agrees to pay back the money. To-date there has been no response to the plan.

O'DUFFY ASSUMES CONTROL OF ARMY DUBLIN, March 20.—General Owen O'Duffy former commander of the civilian guard, assumed complete control of the free state army today, succeeding General Richard Mulcany, who resigned yesterday. Mulcahy's duties as minister of defense in the free state cabinet have been taken over by President William T. Cosgrave. A serious split has developed within the free state government and leading officials who formerly opposed the "mutinier group" of army officers are now sympathetic toward them. Debate upon the dissensions in the army continue in the Dall Elirrin. It is probable that Mulcahy's resignation will lead to an open breach between the supporters and foes of the Anglo-Irish treaty. An early general election is in prospect.
