RADICALS READ OUT OF PARTY (Continued from Page One) A number of other similar resolutions were also presented, but the Reed resolution was adopted by a viva voce vote. There were many absentees besides LaFollette, Brookhart and Prazier. These included such known independents as Sen. Borah of Idaho, Johnson of Calif., Norbeck of S. D., and Norris of Neb. Their absence was taken to indicate that they did not agree with the action of the conference. In the election of Sen. Curtis as the new floor leader, the conference was unanimous. His name was proposed by Sen. Capper, his colleague, and seconded by Sen. Elkins of West Virginia. After his election, Curtis asked the conference to elect as assistant leader and to permit him to name his own whip. The conference agreed. The name of Sen. Watson was the only one presented for the assistant leadership. He was proposed by Sen. Ernst of Kentucky, and then seconded by Sen. Gooding of Idaho. His election was also unanimously adopted. Prior to Curtis's election, Sen. Francis E. Warren of Wyoming, to whom the post was due under the senatority rule, announced he would not be a candidate. No attempt was made to discuss a legislative program. 14 NEW OIL WELLS Oil field operations reported week ending Nov. 22, show 14 new wells started compared with 17 previous week.

NEW LOS ANGELES MURDER MYSTERY LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28—A gruesome murder was revealed to the police today in the finding of the body of a man, with the throat cut, in a blood spattered room of a vacant house near Lankersheim. After an inspection of a book and papers found in the pockets of the dead man's clothing, the police declared they believed the victim was Fred W. Ferris, a prominent chemist specializing in analysis of perfumery. Near the body was a revolver fully loaded, but the knife with which the man's throat had been cut was missing. In one corner of the room were fragment of a torn newspaper on which the slayer had apparently cleansed his hands of blood. According to the police, the man had been dead about 36 hours. The deserted house is half a mile from any other habitation. In the pockets of the victim's clothing the police found a gold pocket knife, a watch, several dollars in change and the papers by which he was partially identified. The knife was not the one which had been used in the slaying, according to detectives. A book found near the body dealt with chemistry subjects. Technical papers found in the pockets identified the owner. George Hunter, living near the scene of the murder, discovered the body yesterday but after he fled from the house in terror was so frightened he failed to inform the police of his discovery. Today he decided to tell the officers, who immediately launched an investigation.

SPECIAL SESSION WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.—A special session of congress after March 4 to consider agricultural harvesting machine, was made defendant in a suit filed in the superior court at Santa Ana today by C. C. and Walter Collins, packing house owners, in which action an interest in Beale's invention and its patents are involved. In 1918, it is claimed in the suit, the Collins Joaned Beale $2,000 with which to work up his invention and secure patents. They were also to advance him enough money to make one machine. Another $800 was required, it was alleged, and in return the Collins received a 40 per cent interest in the proposition. H. J. Forgy, Santa Ana attorney, named trustee of the concern, was to turn over a greater interest in the project to the Collins in the proportion they advanced money up to the total value of the proposition, given as $5000. In all $3211 was invested by the Collins, they claim, yet Forgy has refused to give them a further interest in the project above the 40 per cent originally tendered. This additional interest together with judgment for $3211, is asked of the court. The suit, it is apparent, is "friendly" as against Forgy, for his legal firm partner, S. M. Reinhaus, appears as counsel for the Collins.
