DIES TODAY NEW YORK, April 18—Chas. H. Ebbetts, president and part owner of the Brooklyn National baseball club of the National league, died here at 6:10 a.m. today. Ebbetts had been troubled with heart disease for many years and was confined to his hotel since his return from Clearwater, Fla. It was thought he was pro-gressing satisfactorily until he suffered a relapse yesterday afternoon, and his son, Charles H. Ebbetts, Jr., and daughter, Genevieve Ebbetts, were called to his bedside. Ebbetts was the dean of major league owners, and was one of the original men in organized baseball. He was born in New York on October 29, 1859. In addition to being a competent businessman Ebbetts was a great fan. He always accompanied his team on the road, and he was never missing at the minor league meetings where he became noted for one remark that was always stressed in his talks—"Baseball is still in its infancy." During the days of the Federal league and during the war, the Brooklyn club faced stormy financial days, and several times was on the point of failure, but Ebbetts was always able to secure backing and now the Brooklyn franchise is one of the most valuable in the major leagues. John A. Heydler, president of the National league, announced that there would be no games on Tuesday, when the funeral services are to be held. The owners of the seven other National league clubs will act as pall bearers. Says Wheeler Withheld $1600 of His Share of Postal Loot What caused the split between J. L. Abernathy and Chas. R. Wheeler, leaders in the rol-bery of $23,000 from the local postoffice Dec. 27, 1923, came out yesterday in Abernathy's testimony at the second trial of Wheeler, when Abernathy said he found the amount remaining after Wheeler had taken out his share of the loot was $1600 short. Wheeler's case will go to the jury in Federal Judge James' court in Los Angeles Monday, in all probability, Postmaster J. H. Whitaker declared today. Abernathy, Wheeler, Mrs. Abernathy and Whitaker were on the stand yesterday. So were Postoffice Inspector F. E. Jarvis, Henry Baxter, and E. W. Baum, local letter carriers. Abernathy made a good witness, says Whitaker. He told how he and Wheeler had driven out to Santa Ana canyon, where at one of the highest points they had taken a side road for a short distance from the main highway. He held the flashlight and Wheeler slit open the pouch. Wheeler, according to Abernathy, said that he must have his share in bills of large denomination, and counted out what he alleged to be $700. Evidently he had taken more than that because the remainder was $1600 shy. Abernathy asked what he would do with the other parcels. Wheeler replied that only one of these contained any money so far as he knew, the one with fifty dollars, which he said had been mailed by Whitaker to the Long Beach postmaster and which he Wheeler, had put into the pouch himself himself. What became of the other parcels in the sack did not appear, but Abernathy, when he found the remainder of the fund was not sufficient, went back to the spot as near as he could ascertain it, but couldnt find the other parcels, which had been put back into the sack, placed in a gunnysack and thrown into a gully not far from the highway. The following Sunday he went back a second time, again without results. Mrs. Abernathy told of several conversations which she had had with Wheeler, notably one of Aug. 12 last, at her house when Inspector Jarvis and Postmaster Whitaker were present, secreted in a room adjoining the mansion.

Mrs. Abernathy then told Wheeler in about so many words: "I must have at least $500 of that money you have hidden in order to go to Leavenworth to see my husband." Wheeler replied: "You're barking up the wrong tree. You can't tell who may hear us. I saw Jarvis in Fullerton only yesterday. Then Wheeler walked out to the front porch and the conversation continued, but Jarvis and Whitaker could only hear a piece of it now and then. In previous conversations Wheeler had agreed to let her have some money, she averred. Regarding her testimony concerning the conversation of Aug. 12, Wheeler denied that was the date. Aug. 6 had been the date, he asserted, and the money was question was some $2,000 which he was to pay back for the legal expenses of the first trial.

GOVT TRIES TO TANGLE WHEELER GREAT FALLS, Mont., April 18—Evidence intended to involve Sen. Burton K. Wheeler with illegal oil permits thru a receivership suit in which he admittedly acted for his client, Gordon Campbell, was sought by the prosecution today. Edward M. Harvey, trustee in Campbell's oil syndicate, was called to the stand and questioned as to whether Sen. Wheeler knew of the permits as assets of the corporation and hence was acquainted with their alleged fraudulent character. "No government permits were mentioned in my presence in any conversation with Wheeler," Harvey said. "I protested to Wheeler that $10,000 for fees was too large for just trying a receivership suit. He said that there were valuable oil lands of our involved and if he saved us one 40 acre piece he would have earned his fee." U. S. Dist. Atty. John L. Slat. Attempt To Get Him For Trial on Other Fraud Charge Realizing, he declared, that all the wrath he could muster would not change the action of state prison directors in paroling Samuel Hanson, cleverest forger ever to be prosecuted by Orange-co. officials, Dist. Atty. A. P. Nelson today was communicating with Dist. Atty. W. J Brown of Stanislaus-co., in an effort to get Hansen before the courts here on a forgery charge still hanging against him. Hansen, who was convicted of forging a deed to property at Fairview, was caught after private detectives trailed him to Denver, Seattle and back to Los Angeles. Notable counsel defended him and the case was carried to the appellate court before the prisoner went to San Quentin. Nelson and Superior Judge R. Y. Williams had recommended to the prison board that Hansen serve full time, 14 years, making note of his fraudulent exploits. Without notice to either official, Hansen was secretly paroled two months ago, after he served about a year. The action served to bring down condemnation on the board, as far as county officials were concerned, but they are powerless to do anything more effective, they added. "A majority of the criminals before us are pilkers compared to this man Hansen," said Nelson, "and in the rest of the convictions I feel that a 24-hour sentence would be about right. If we are to use the sentence of Hansen as a criterion, it's disgusting, this whole thing, and the board's action is another affront to the people of Orangeco. Nelson then made reference to the paroling of Dr. R. E. Whitted, Santa Ana dentist, also well fixed financially, who served but six months of an indeterminate sentence, following conviction of a statutory charge against a young girl. "I don't know what the board will think," Nelson added, "but if Dist. Atty. Brown will press the charge he holds against Hansen in his county, and gets a conviction, it may require some long figuring out how to turn this arch-forger out again without arousing the constituency of this state to some dire action, so far as the board is concerned." PARIS, April 18—Former premier Edouard Herriott has agreed to be the left candidate for president of the chamber of deputies to succeed Paul Palinlive, who replaced him as premier. URGE TRANSFER OF HARBOR CONTROL SACRAMENTO, April 18 — Bearing the recommendation "do pass", a bill transferring control of the San Francisco harbor from the state to the city was reported back to the lower house of the state legislature today by the committee on commerce and navigation.

Former Anaheim Boy Winner in District Oratorical Contest Altho Anaheim's highest hope, that of victory for Miss Katherine Carner, in the So. Calif. semi-finals for the national oratorical contest, was not realized, and ex-Anaheim boy, Ronald Anderson, now of Pomona, won first place in group D, meeting in South Pasadena high school last evening. Six contest centers were conducted and others ranking in first places were Virgil Pinkley, San Bernardino; Frank Colston, Moorpark; Mary Louise Wages, Franklin High school, Los Angeles, and Eugene McElmeel, Loyola College.

Pride in Miss Carner has not been lost by any means and were entitled to another opportunity she would probably make the desired goal. "I don't know what the board will think," Nelson added, "but if Dist. Atty. Brown will press the charge he holds against Hansen in his county, and gets a conviction, it may require some long figuring out how to turn this arch-forger out again without arousing the constituency of this state to some dire action, so far as the board is concerned."
