REFER NOMINATION WASHINGTON, May 29.—The senate this afternoon in executive session referred to the judiciary committee the nomination of Rep. William Graham to be president. BROKERS Dist Atty. Says Attempt of Woman to Shoulder Blame Unavailing Benjamin S. Brubaker, Orange Keller, and Jack Gaines, real estate broker there, will be vigorously prosecuted despite the effort of Mrs Molly Meinecke, pretty stock broker, to shoulder the blame of certain allied stock sales for Brubaker and to justify them with respect to Gaines. This was the announced lesion of the district attorney's office today, following Mrs. Meinecke's appeal on behalf of Brubaker and Gaines, who are at liberty under $5,000 bail each, their preliminary hearing set for July 8. Both are charged with violating the state corporate securities act by selling oil stock without a permit. Mrs Meinecke aided in securing the temporary liberty of the defendants, at least, altho her declaration that she, not Brubaker, had sold the stock on which the charge was based, failed to divert prosecution from him. Mrs. Meinecke, who stated that she and Gaines were associated in stock selling, under authority of a broker's license, supplied a $5,000 bond, while Leo Martin, another associate of Gaines, posted a similar bond for release of the defendants pending their hearing. Chief Deputy District Attorney C. N. Mozley stated today that Mrs. Meinecke's statement would be disregarded as having no bearing on the case. "Our investigations," he said, "show that Brubaker did tell the stock as complained of. We do not have, however, at the present time, any evidence that Mrs. Meinecke sold any stock. "Her statement that she and Gaines are privileged to sell stock under a broker's license is no defense at all as a broker's license does not carry such authority. Stock of any corporation can be sold only under a permit of the state corporation department for the sale of that particular stock. No such permit was issued, or exhibited to purchasers, as requested by law, in this case." The charge against Brubaker and Gaines was based upon the alleged sale of stock in Pacific Corporation well No. 5 at Signal Hill, to Ralph Montgomery. If the new plan works, the 6:30 dinner will be given up, said Secretary Reid. The lecture opens at 8:00 p.m. at the City Hall council chamber. Reid would like to see at least 100 of the $70 local business men present. Hamilton was formerly a teacher of business psychology and knows his subject well.
