FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1925 20,615 BUSINESS FAILURES IN 1924 WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—Commercial failures in 1924 numbered 20,615 concerns and 757 banks, the federal reserve board announced today. Liabilities involved totalled $542,224,559 exclusive of banks, whose capital stock and surplus aggregated $46,642,000. Some of the banks will open without loss to creditors or are already reorganized. Liabilities of commercial failures were slightly above the total for 1923, according to the board, and considerably higher than the level for years prior to 1920. In 1922 there were 23,678 commercial liabilities, with $626,896,000 liabilities, while 19,625 firms collapsed in 1921 with record liabilities of $627,402,000. "The advance in defaulted indebtedness to comparatively high levels in recent years reflects partly an increase in the number of failures, but to a greater extent an increased average amount of indebtedness involved in each failure," the board said. Of the bank failures, 79 per cent were not members of the federal reserve system; of member banks 129 were national and 34 state banks or trust companies.

RELATES DETAILS OF $300,000 THEFT LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13.—Details of how he and members of his gang robbed a wealthy New York divorcee of a $300,000 string of pearls given on the witness stand today by Herbert Wilson, notorious ex-minister and admitted bandit, now serving a life term at San Quentin, when he appeared again today to testify against three men, including his own brother, all of whom are one-time members of his bandit gang. Wilson told of how he was approached by Jack Elerick, who said he knew a wealthy New York divorcee, who was "thrilling" Broadway, under the name of Mrs. Charlotte King Palmer, and who habitually wore a string of pearls of immense value. Elerick said, according to the master bandit, that it would be "a good knock-over" to get the pearls, and consequently he, alided by Charles Stahl, now a fugitive from justice, and Elerick, burglarized the woman's house, got the pearls and also $20,000 worth of miscellaneous jewelry. Wilson declared that the Jewel robbery was hatched and executed in Nov. 1921, when Mrs. Palmer was a prominent figure along the "great white way." New York's best detectives worked on the robbery case but it was never solved until Wilson carlessly testifying as the speaking of a recent club meeting, told an astonished jury of the "inside door" on the theft.

FEDERAL AGENTS DRAW NET TIGHT LOS ANGELES, Feb. 13.—Government agents are slowly but surely drawing an ever-tightening net about A.C.

Other and graver accusations are being investigated, Cochran said. In the alleged scheme in Missouri for which the three are now in jail, it is charged they called themselves the Mexico Land Co., and induced farmers to sell their ranches and buy shares of the myriad land in Mexico and emigrate.

At one time forty detectives were searching the country for the criminal who planned to and executed the robbery. On the night of Nov. 15, 1920, three men posing as detectives entered Mrs. Palmer's fifth avenue mansion and escaped with more than $500,000 in jewels and furs. Among the jewels stolen was a 56-inch necklace composed of 210 graduated pearls. Mrs. Palmer and her servants were bound and gagged by the bandits. It was thought at the time that mention by Mrs. Palmer of her intention to have a diamond "collar" made attracted the thieves. A reward of $20,000 was offered by Mrs. Palmer for the bandits' arrest but all efforts of police were in vain. Mrs. Palmer had appeared on the stage with Lew Fields and DeWolf Hopper in several productions. She was divorced in 1916 from James Cresson Parrish, Jr., a relative of the Vanderbilt family. Following the robbery she went to Paris to live. 19 NEW OIL WELLS Oil field operations reported week ending Feb. 7, show 19 new wells started, same as previous week in Torrance, one each in Huntington Beach, Rosserans, Beverly Hills, Whittier, Inglewood, Ventura, San Bentito-co, San Mateo-co, and Casmalia filed, and seven in Kern-co.

Sebastian The Economic Center of C CONFIRM BELIEF FALL NOT FATAL HANFORD, Feb. 13.—Following a second autopsy which, according to investigating officers confirmed their belief that Lee Camp, wealthy young rancher, was not killed in a fall from a windfall, the body was returned here today for roburial. The autopsy surgeon said that Camp's neck was not broken—a result likely from a 31 foot fall. District Atty. Wm. R. McKay, who attended the autopsy held in Presno expected to confer today with Richard Mills foreman of the Kings-co, grand jury. The prosecutor is not believed to be ready as yet to submit the evidence gathered to the inquisitorial body, but members of the grand jury are growing insistent that a "show down" be had. Mrs. W. Stanton Browne, foster mother of young Camp, on whose branch he was found dead, was reported still in a serious condition at the "Ranch of Regrets" from an attack of influenza. Representatives of various insurance companies which hold the policies aggregating $130,000 on the life of the dead rancher, are there watching the investigation. A Class Ad will bring you results. GIRL KILLED BY TIGER MANILA, Feb. 13.—Crashing thru the steel bars that separated it from the girl performer that was putting the animal thru its tricks, a circus tiger at a Manila carnival show this afternoon instantly killed the young woman. A quick minded Filipino detective in the audience shot and killed the blood maddened jungle beast just as it was leaping from the stage on which it had ended the girl's life, into the midst of the crowded seats encircling the ringside. So quickly did the killing occur that circus employees had no opportunity to come to the girl's rescue. The shot felling the tiger as it hurtled thru the air toward the audience quelled the panic which occurred. No less than 18,000 people read the Plain Dealer daily.

TONIGHT Tonight is vaudeville night at the California Theater and there is an exceptionally good show headlined by "The Ventlap Four," a singing and musical act of decided merit. The disappearance of a large diamond from the necklace of a wealthy woman, and the substitution of a piece of worthless "paste" so-called, in its place, causes the arrest of a young jeweler's clerk in "The Great Diamond Mystery" the new Shirley Mason picture, which shows at the California tonight. Trouble does not end, there however, for within a few hours after the precious gem is lost the head of the diamond firm is killed—and the young clerk is accused of the murder.
