CLAIM TESTS WILL RUIN OIL WELL In one of the first suits of its kind ever filed in the superior court at Santa Ana, the Sun Oil Co. of Los Angeles today petitioned for an injunction restraining the Union Drilling Co. from proceeding with drilling a well at Huntington Beach and asked damages of $50,000. Under a purported contract signed between the company and the driller, a well 3,600 feet was to be sunk. The oil company contends, however, that the drilling company, against its wishes, endeavored to bring in the well from the $3100-foot sand and that difficulty has been encountered ever since. The drilling company, it is claimed, paid no heed to demands that it proceed to the 3600-foot level, where the plaintiff company contends it is reasonably certain it will bring in a good producer. If the alleged "experiments" continue the owner of the well will be unable to proceed to sink an additional 400 feet, the suit avers, adding that alleged damages already incurred now amount to $50,000. VEGETABLE MEN HIT Growing of cauliflower in the south would be end and of lettuce greatly curtailed if the Interstate Commerce Commission grants the higher freight rates asked by the railways, according to testimony given at a hearing in Los Angeles yesterday before a representative of the commission: O.W.

Eight women and four men were in the jury box. While hundreds of men and women battled for admission to the courtroom, McCoy leaned back in his chair as he did when he sat in his corner awaiting the gong and watched his lawyers and the prosecuting attorneys in their fight over the selection of jurors. Statements from his lawyers that McCoy wanted men rather than women on his jury brought a grunt from the former pugilist. "I don't care," McCoy said. "It makes no difference to me whether men or women try me—there are just as many narrow minded men as women." As McCoy talked out of the corner of his mouth and slowly rubbed his heavy fingers over a locket containing his mother's picture, his attorneys were battling to keep his fate out of the hands of the "death jurors" who a few days ago condemned to the gallows Harry Garbutt, former Joliet convict, for the murder in Pasadena of Mrs. Dorothy Lee Hunn, wife of a Chicago ink manufacturer. Defense counsel used nine of their previous 20 peremptory challenges in challenging and excusing jurors who served in the Garbutt case and called in the McCoy panel. Thirteen challenges had been used by the defense up to late today. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 9.—Kid McCoy's jury will be completed today. The men and women who will decide the fate of the famous puglist-actor-lover, who went on trial here yesterday for the murder of his sweetheart, Mrs. Teresa Mors, will be selected before court adjourns this afternoon, according to both defense and prosecution attorneys. When court opened this morning, seven women and four men were in the jury box as prospective jurora. The defense had exhausted ten of its 20 pre-empty challenges and the state had used but two. Four women were excused because they objected to inflicting death penalty. Drastic cuts must be made in the river and harbor bill before it will receive the approval of the executive, it was said. The president regards with extreme displeasure the sudden jumping up on the total appropriations carried in the measure from the original figure of approximately $250,000.
