This was the verdict today of a lawyer's jury which investigated the death of L. Wayne McCollum, 23, Fullerton, Cal., civil engineer, who died from wounds received while duck hunting with a party of friends. Whether the charge of shot came from his own gun or from the gun of one of his friends will never be known in the belief of the officials who investigated. With Secretary of State Frank C. Jordan, of Sacramento; E. R. Werdin, former Los Angeles city official; W. S. Record, city engineer of Fullerton, and Paul Fratt, Fullerton civil engineer, McCollum was in the duck blinds on the Katteberg ranch when shot.

McCollum's body was taken back to Fullerton today. The dead hunter was divorced from Heien Gladys McCollum of Santa Ana by Superior Judge Z. B. West Jan. 11. Mrs. McCollum secured an interlocutory decree, charging extreme cruelty. At the time she was given custody of their daughter, Carol Jeanne, three. They were married in San Diego in 1900 and separated three years later. Punishment arrangements have not yet been decided upon, it was said today. They may be held in Fullerton but more probably in Orange. Mr. McCollum came to Fullerton in 1920 as an employee of the city engineering department, and later went to Venice as assistant city engineer, then returned to Fullerton when W. C. Record succeeded to the post of city engineer. He later left the employ of the city and went into business for himself. At the time of his death he was engineer for Piacentia, and the La Habra and Buena Park sanitary districts, as well as doing odd jobs for Fullerton. He made his home in Fullerton. News of his death came in a telegram to Fred Hexmahalch, city clerk, and Mrs. Hexmahalch, and Mrs. W. C. Record took the sad message to Mr. McCollum's parents at Orange.

Federal Agents Looking For Millionaire and Third Man SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.—R. Anderson, wealthy Vancouver B.C., attorney, was arrested early today by a deputy U.S. marshal on a charge of violating the prohibition laws. He was released under $500 bail after having been booked at the county jail. The arrest of Anderson was said by federal officials to herald the start of a government drive against the Pacific coast rum running ring that controlled the Quadra and the California coast. Arrest of Attorney Anderson was characterized as "outraged ours" by John L. McNab, former U.S. district attorney and leading member of the San Francisco bar, who announced he had tested his services to Mr. Anderson in connection with the affair. "Mr. Anderson is one of the most distinguished members of the Canadian bar. His presence here is in connection with the interests of his clients who have re-tained him. I regard his arrest as a most high-handed procedure and I suggested to the federal officials that it would be equally appropriate to arrest the British council. "Mr. Anderson's only interest is the Quadra is in safeguarding the interest of his clients as they may appear in the case." Anderson visited the federal building today and expressed great indignation at his arrest. He declared that he was arrested without being shown the warrant upon which it was based. Anderson declared he was in San Francisco merely as a legal representative of his firm which had been retained by persons interested in the Quadra. It was learned that secret warrants were out for two other men. One of them, Federal officials admitted this afternoon for Russell Whitelaw, Vancouver B.C., millionaire. Anderson declared that White law was a personal friend of him and in no way connected with the case of the Quadra. The name of the third man was not revealed. U. S. Atty. Sterling Carr threw off afternoon declared the arrest of Anderson was not a case of mistaken identity. "We believe we have the man we want," he declared. When Anderson appeared before Comm. Krull at 2 o'clock accompanied by Kenneth Green, his attorney, Krull said no warrants had been issued by his office for Anderson. Anderson demanded that some action be taken in his case and after conferring with U. S. Atty. Carr told him MAY PROBE LIQUOR SALES AT HARBOR LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12.—Possibility of a navy investigation of bootlegging in Los Angeles harbor loomed today, following poisoning by moonshine whiskey of R.B.

CELEBRATES The wheelhorse of the Republican party in the county will celebrate the recent victory at a dinner to be held tonight at St. Ann's Inn, beginning at 6:20. These affairs are held regularly after each election. The program is not announced. Mors is the divorced husband of Theresa Mors antique dealer, for whose murder Norman Selby, screen actor and former pugilist known as "Kid McCoy" is held in the Los Angeles-co jail. Captain of Detectives George Chapman ordered Mors be brought before him to tell of a deal between Mrs. Mors and Katz. This deal involving it was said, $250-000 worth of rare jewels, was never completed because of Mors' objections. While Mors was being questioned, police planned to open Katz' safety deposit box in a Los Angeles bank, there they believe, new clues leading to solving the mysterious killing will be uncovered. At the same time, Frank Collins, said by detectives to have a police record here and in San Diego, was to be further quizzed in connection with the Katz investigation. Collins was arrested after code notes, which he has not explained, were found in his pockets. The notes, police believe, relate to diamond deals. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12.—With an arrest said to be looming, Los Angeles police today trailed a dozen women and sought a California broker, love rival of the dead man, in an effort to solve the murder of Harry I. Katz, music master, art collector and connoisseur of beautiful women and gems. Katz, wealthy Los Angeles broker and society favorite, owner of yachts, apartment houses and rare collections of violins, jewels and paintings, who was shot down Monday at the door of his luxurious apartment, had been threatened for days before his death, police were informed today. Miss Dorothy Carroll, a beautiful blonde, the slain broker's sweetheart, told detectives Katz feared for his life, which had been threatened several times. She also defied since his death she had received telephone calls, warning her not to talk. "Don't crack a word of this: if you do I will come up and kill you." That was one message given Miss Carroll by a "killer" over the telephone shortly after her sweetheart was murdered, she informed detectives. The man who made this threat is Katz's murderer or a gunman (Continued on Page Three) U. S. Atty. Sterling Carr this afternoon declared the arrest of Anderson was not a case of mistaken identity. "We believe we have the man we want," he declared. When Anderson appeared before Comm. Krull at 2 o'clock aviated companion by Kenneth Green, his attorney, Krull said no warrant had been issued by his office for Anderson. Anderson demanded that some action be taken in his case and after conferring with U. S. Atty. Carr, Krull told him to return a 4 o'clock for further questioning. Anderson demanded that he be released from bond but this was refused, it being stated that he was held on the charge of the arresting officers. Green and Krull later went into conference with Federal Judge Rudkin. It was reported at the federal building that the arresting officer had mistaken Anderson for Whitelay but federal officers refused to confirm this report. There were indications, however, that unless the United States district attorney office took steps to appear against Anderson before the commissioner the Canadian attorney would be released. Anderson was to appear before U. S. Commissioner Kurill at 2 o'clock this afternoon for arraignment, but there were indications the government would seek postponement of his hearing in view of the fact that the U. S grand jury was to meet later in the afternoon and possibly return some 50 indictments voted in connection with their investigation of the Pacific coast rum ring. It was reported the indictment would include several surprises. Anderson, while at the federal building today, revealed that the defense of the Quadra owners against seizure of their ship would be that its huge cargo of liquor was consigned from Vancouver to San Jose, Guatemala, and that it had a perfect legal right to be in transit. The Quadra was seized several weeks ago off the Golden Gate, despite claims of the crew that they were outside the 12-mile limit.

The claimants include the state of California and the Balfour, Guthrie Investment Co. as intervengers for J. E. O'Donnell.

Brandon of Moose-heart, supreme secretary, succeeds Ford in the supreme positions; George N. Ward of Moose-heart, general distator of the supreme lodge succeeds Brandon. Only Waiting Favorable Opportunity to Call World Meeting WASHINGTON, Nov. 12—President Coolidge is only waiting a favorable opportunity to take the initiative in calling another world arms conference—if indeed," feelers" in that direction have not already been put out by this government, it was ascertained today in administration quarters. The primary purpose of such a conference would be to accomplish what the Washington conference left undone, to-wit: to limit the production of aircraft for war purposes, limit the size and number of submarines; limit the size and equipment of land forces, and codify international law. The president is strongly committed to the belief that the cause of world peace can beat, and perhaps only, be furthered by the holding of another conference similar in intent and accomplishment to that held in Washington under Harding. Dispatches from London, indicating that the British government believes the time is ripe, were viewed in Washington today as extremely significant. While officials generally decline to comment publicly on these dispatches they did point out with some significance the last word on this subject spoken by President Coolidge in a public address, as follows: "When the reparation plan (the Dawes plan) is in operation, I shall deem it an appropriate time to approach the great powers with a proposal for another conference for a further limitation of armaments and for devising plans for a codification of international law. "I personally favor entering covenants for the purpose of outlawing aggressive war by any practical means." The reparations is now in operation and has been for many weeks. And what is more important, the British and American governments upon which must fall the major work in promoting another world parley, are now assuredly stable for some years ahead: President Coolidge has just been elected for a four-year term. In England, Premier Stanley Baldwin and his Tory government are in the saddle for at least five years. No governmental overruns in either country stand in the way of such a parley. Another barrier to the calling of a conference has been the continued French occupation of the Ruhr. The French are now out of the Ruhr, and the thousands of French soldiers necessary to that undertaking are now retiring. DEMISMISS ACTION NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 12.

BALDWIN CARIBET MEETS FIRST TIME LONDON, Nov. 12.—Pulling and hauling between the forces within the Tory party started today as Premier Stanley Baldwin's newly-formed cabinet got together in its first meeting. There will be ample opportunity for these forces to express themselves before the new foreign policy is a matter of record, as present plans provide for a meeting of parliament Dec. 8, with adjournment at once until the middle of February. The Daily Express demanded today that England recognize Mexico, claiming that the United States, Germany and France were getting the Mexican trade which should belong to Great Britain. The Morning Post is conducting a vigorous campaign to prevent Premier Baldwin from selling the government's oil shares to permit the gigantic Anglo-Persian-Dutch Shell Oil combine.
