Means, former department of justice agent, and star witness of the senate Daugherty investigation, today was indicted by a grand jury here for forgery. The indictment charged Means forged a letter over the name of Senator Smith W. Brookhart, chairman of the senate investigating committee purporting to direct him to turn over all his diaries and reports to a representative of the committee to be impounded. Means pleaded not guilty and was released on $1,000 bail. Means provided a sensation during the senate investigation by announcing one day to the committee when it asked him for a certain record that he no longer had any since he had turned them all over to an agent of the committee upon Brookhart's order. When Brookhart denied issuing such an order, Means produced a letter which Brookhart branded a forgery. Means insisted he had taken his letter in good faith and delivered all his 'little black books' containing records of years of confidential investigations over to a man who represented himself as a committee employee. The records were lost to the committee and their disappearance had a bearing on the conduct of the inquiry.

For one week the Chinatown red head" has heard her counsel argue that she is mentally unbalanced. During the entire time she has shown them little but animosity. Dorothy does not want to be judged insane. To her lawyers and relatives she repeats: "I'm not a nut. Why can't we call off this insanity thing and go ahead with the murder trial? I want to get it over with, but I'm not crazy." The girl rested well last night in her Ingleside fall cell, matrons reported. She has grown stronger through the week and yesterday smiled encouragement at the prosecution whenever an alienist testifying against her mentality was tripped in cross examination. Dorothy's fainting spells for the time at least have been checked. They strengthened the defense insanity plea so the girl determined to halt them. When the hearing is resumed Monday morning, the state will cross-examine Dr. Jau Don Ball, psychiatrist and criminologist of the U. of C. who late yesterday added his weight to the defense alienists' insanity verdict. Dorothy's condition is due to "hereditary and environmental factors." Dr. Ball testified. They have affected her "temperament, volition and intelligence." Her rapid growth placed an unusual stress on her, intensified her emotions and made them boil over." The scientist said. "It made her unable to cope with conditions and surroundings and allowed her non-control over her loves or her pugnacity. "She was affected by the influence of an alcoholic father and a nervous and sick mother, starting life with a handicap in this matter." Her instincts are nighly developed; quick to act. Her temperament is subject to quick fluctuations and changes. Her collision—that is, her will power—is practically non-existent. Her intelligence alone is normal. "Consequently, I can come no other conclusion than that she is insane and abnormal." Preceding Dr. Ball, Dr. Fred P. Clark, medical superintendent for the Stockton state hospital, and Dr. Geo. Ordahl, clinical psychologist for the Sonoma state home for defectives, gave similar testimony. Prosecution allegists, however, are expected to present equally emphatic findings that predicted several first places for Anaheim. Fitz decided not to enter Clausen, Harris and Walker, and selected only Dumke, Goddard, Holden, Holder, Hopkins, Ralph, Jabs, Lenz, Longworth, Robert Lusk; Richard Lusk, Member, Preston and Wells. LOOKS LIKE JACK WILL NOT FIGHT NEW YORK, April 4.—"It begins to look as if Jack Dempsey never will fight again but if he does he will fight for me." Tex Rickard said today in commenting upon various rumors concerning the making of a heavyweight championship. "I signed a contract with Dempsey some time ago to work for me if he does work again and he agreed to fight any one I picked. For various reasons, I haven't been able to pick an opponent yet and I haven't made any move toward a Dempsey-Wills match. I'm not certain that match can be made." Dempsey was willing to fight Wills and he never has been afraid of him. Dempsey would have fought any one before he got married, but his wife doesn't want him to do any more fighting and I'm doubtful that he ever will defend his title again. But this talk that he is running away from Wills is pure bunk. Rickard laughed at the reports that Jack Curley, former wrestler scar, had been engaged as the matchmaker for a new club composed of millionaire sportsmen and that Dempsey and Wills had been signed to meet this fall. LOS ANGELES, April 4.—"No one has me under a fight contract." This was Jack Dempsey's answer today to Tex Rickard's announcement that the champion was bound to fight for him if he ever appeared in the ring again. The recently wedded mitt mourn said he had no plans for a title bout "for Rickard or anyone else." Dorothy is not abnormal before the issue is submitted to a jury. Should the jazz girl be declared insane, she will be committed to an asylum but should the verdict be "sane," she will face the original murder charge. SANTA ANA BEAT SECOND TEAM Couch A. E.

ARCH BANDIT SENTENCED TO HANG Chapman Receives Death Sentence With Little Display of Emotion HARTFORD, Conn., April 4—Gerald Chapman must hang by the neck until he is dead. The death sentence was pronounced upon the "prince of bandits" here today after the jury GOLD MINING PROPOSAL APPROVED SACRAMENTO, April 4—Legislative investigation of a new method for extracting gold out of California's hills through hydraulic mining which would at the same time reclaim much of the waste land along the rivers will be asked within the next week. Assemblyman Harold C. Cloudman, of Berkeley, is the author of the plan which already has the sanction of the administration. Governor Richardson, when the proposal was laid before him, pronounced it one of the greatest projects ever called to his attention. The method suggested by Assemblyman Cloudman contemplates the use of centrifugal pumps to carry the silt caused by hydraulic mining from the river beds and spread it over the lowlands. This would not only raise the level of the lands but would cover them with rich layers of soil. The mining companies would be required to carry on the work in connection with their mining thereby eliminating the objectives raised by farmers back in the early eighties, because the slur from the hydraulic mines raised the beds of the rivers. Cloudann's resolution will be presented for the first time on Monday night at a meeting of the assembly committee on ways and means, when that body commences public hearings on two flood control bills by Senator Boggs which entail the expenditure of some $172,000,000. Chapman Receives Death Sentence With Little Display of Emotion HARTFORD, Conn., April 4—Gerald Chapman must hang by the neck until he is dead. The death sentence was pronounced upon the "prince of bands" here today after the jury which heard the evidence in his trial, for the murder of Policeman James Skelly found him guilty. The jury's verdict was returned at 10:30. Within an hour all formalities had been dispensed with and Judge Jennings sentenced Chapman to the gallows. Thus organized society finally made its claim upon Chapman, the super bandit, safecracker, mail robber and jail breaker. The man who has been the terror of police for years, when he was not known to be behind bars today sat in a cage, the air of brawlado maintained. He slouched against a pillar as Judge Jennings sentenced him to hang at the Wetherfield prison on June 25. After being out since one o'clock Friday afternoon the jury reached their verdict at 10:25 this morning, and it was read to Chapman in courtyard five minutes later. The next quarter of an hour was taken up with court room ritkamarle in the stilted language of the law and Chapman then was sent below stairs to the court dungeon to while away 30 minutes. He came back in 20 minutes, however, surrounded by a guard of armed men which had been increased to ten and was held in the prisoners' cage at one side of the court room until Judge Jennings in his black robes took the bench again at 11:20. "Bring in the prisoner," said Judge Jennings. Chapman was brought before him. "Mr. Sheriff," said the judge "pronounce the declaation of silence while the sentence of death is imposed." "O, yes; O, yes; O, yes, I now declaim there shall be silence in the courtroom while the sentence of death is imposed." Chapman, said the judge "Have you anything to say as to why this sentence should not be imposed?" Chapman, standing with his legs slightly apart, leaned back against a pillar, looked Judge Jennings straight in the eye and with a tightening of his mouth answered. "I have nothing to say." "The sentence of the court then is this," said the judge in deep solemnity.

Team That Beats Tigers Wins Flag (By Ty Cobb) Manager of the Detroit Tigers With any kind of fair breaks in luck, the team that beats out the Detroit Tigers will win the American leagueennant. That is the same as saying that we hope to win the pennant. The New York Yanks are the only team in the league that we fear as rivals. The Washington senators did not beat the Yanks out of the pennant last year. The Tigers paved the way for the senators into the championship when we beat the Yanks in the last series of the year. The Tigers were playing the kind of baseball then that they would have played all season if we had been able to have our full strength on the field with any consistency. The Yanks still have a great team and if we can keep ahead of them we ought to win the pennain. Drs. B. Franklin and Jennie A.

A move to extend the fight over highway financing to the lower house of the legislatur-was seen today in a statement issued by Assemblyman Albert Rosenshine, of San Francisco. Rosenshine's statement places him in line with the senate bloc which is insisting on a plan of allocation of any funds which may be voted for new highway construction work. The State of California by the constitutional amendment adopted November 7, 1922, commonly called the "budget amend-ment" committed itself to an executive budget," Rosenshine said. The amendment provided for a budget containing a complete plan and itemized state-ment of all proposed expenditures of the state provided by existing law and of all its departments, commissions, boards, etc. "It also provides, if the proposed expenditures for the ensuing biennium shall exceed the estimated revenues therefore, the governor should recommend the sources from which the additional revenues shall be provid-ed. With reference to the high-way commission, the constitutional mandate is clear and the governor should perform the duty he has thus far failed to do."

Chapman, standing with his legs slightly apart, leaned back against a pillar, looked Judge Jennings straight in the eye and with a tightening of his mouth answered. "I have nothing to say." "The sentence of the court then is this," said the judge in deep solemnity. "That you, Gerald Chapman, are remanded to the custody of the warden of the state prison at Wethersfield to be by him forthwith conveyed to hand and safely at the state prison until the 25th day of June, 1925, on which day and before the hour of sunrise and within the prison walls and by the prison warden or his deputy you shall be hanged by the neck until you shall be dead." Within ten minutes after the words "hanged by the neck until you are dead," had sounded in his ears, Chapman was taken from the courtroom into an alley where the prison sedan was waiting. The alleyway was heavily guarded by police, sheriffs and state troopers. Two auto-mobiles and two motorcycles conveyed Chapman car on its way back to Wethersfield prison. Only one ballot was taken in the jury room, Foreman Sam S. Chamberlain, Hartford merchant, said. "The prejudice in mind of the jurors is so great that they did not convict the man who committed the murder, but they convicted Gerald Chapman, the super-handit, the arch criminal solely on his past record," said Chapman in his precise, cultivated tone as he and Judge Groehil, his counsel, met in the dungeon after court had recessed. "I really did not think that I had a chance." LARGER CROWD AT SENIOR CLASS PLAY The senior players were greeted last night by a much larger crowd than on Thursday evenin-g last night at nearly 1,000.

PREMIER HERRIOT SHAPES PROGRAM PARIS, April 4—With a respite until Monday or Tuesday, granted him by his opponents, Premier Herriot spent the day in conference with advisers shaping a financial program based on the capital levy which will be advanced to steady a confused, critical situation. In the replacement of Etienne Clementel by Anatole de Monsele, as finance minister, a step which has altered Herriot's vatican policy, because de Monsele is a catholic, government authorities foresee three possible results in the next few days financial jockeying. These are: 1. Fall of the Herriot cabinet. 2. Approval by parliament of de Monsele's capital levy form of taxation, the strongest and most radical economic restorative ever advanced. 3. A new national election following dissolution of chamber of deputies. DODGE FAILS TO BLOCK EXCHANGE DETROIT, April 4—John Duval Dodge, eldest son of the late John F.
