THE GIL EXCHANGE
Its Position clearI, Outlined by the President
z. n. Heron


W. H. Heron, president of the Los
Angeles oil exchange, in response to an
inquiry concerning the attitude of the ex-
change and Its intended action upon mat
ters pertaining to the oil industry, gave
substantially tho following statement:
1.-The firm objept of the oil exchange is
to control the transportation and market
ing Of the Los Angeles petroleum in
favor OF the oil producers. 1t proposes to
cover the whole field of consumption that
can be reached by rail or water, and IN
crease the demand by all the uses to
which oil can be made available. Oil
must IN this event have fair remunera-
tive value and large active demand.
This can be accomplishei in compare
join the exchange. That they will do
this we feel assuxed. We are sure in the
end to get them > large demand for their
output and this will secure them steady
and firm market. There will be little or
no cutting of prices when the tide Of oil
moves 10 big rna narkets.
"Of course no oil will be marketed for
persons outside the exchange, and an
antagonistic attitude will be taken toward
all producers who do not juin.
I'VE propose to sell all the oil which
comes through the exchange and we hope
to do it at less cost to the producer than
he could possibly do it for himself. Pro-
ducers in Pennsylvania rarely sell their
own oil. They are too busy drilling and
pumping and dsvising methods to pro-
duce oil on the best principles to bother
their heads with sales. Brokers. dealers
ana refiners find markets for all
the oil produced. When the industry is
properly organized on this coast the mar
kets for petroleum. will be as sure as they
are now in the Nast.
"Oil will fuotuate with the demand
and supply. and he exchange will be an
open board whore oil certificates will be
bought and sold.
I've are doing all that it IS possible to
do for the good of the local producers.
Not ono day has passed that we have not
been working. We are in comm unica-
ton every day with firms who want our
oil to transport as badly as we want them
to take cur surplus away. We hope to
close contract with some one of these
transportation companies within very
short time"

THE GUEST TRIAL BEGUN
Herman WehIin Tells His Story oi
thu Assault
Charles Lidden, the Injured Man, Is Getting
Well Rapidly and the Prisoners
Bail Is Reduced

The trial of 8. A. Guest of Inglewood
on charge OF assault to commit murder
was begun yesterday before Justice
Young, and the case for the prosecution
completed. When court adjourneo the
defense had but Snst begun and asked for
a continuance, which was granted, until
the 4th of next month. By application
and consent Guests bail was reduced
from $4,000 to $1,000.
The assault with which Guest is charged
occurred on tho 10th OF this month, and
resulted in serious injury to Charles Lid
wood. Both S. A. and Erasmus Guest
were implicated, but the latter got away
before the arrest of his brother was made.
District Attorney W. 7. Williams
opened the prosecution and called Her
man Wehlin. the complainant to the
stand. The Gourt was crowded with wit
nesses when Mr.. Wehlin heean his recital
OF this assault. The witness swore that
he heard voices in angry alteration be-
tween and O'Clock OH tho morning OF
the 10th OF this month, and saw the two
Guests and Lidden standing near a brick
kilr short distance off. Wehlin went
over toward the men,, but before be
reached them saw Erasmus Guest strike
Lidden with a brick. Lidden fell and
was trying to gain his feet when S. A.
Guest drew something from his hip
pocket and struck Lidden on the side OF
the head.
BY this time quite crowd had gath
cred and Wehlin ordered ths Guests to
stop their attack and leave the yard. S.
A. Guest had dropped his cap and also
the weapon with which he struck Lidden
and asked to be allowed to get them.
This was refused, and later one of the
crowd picked up an iron bar wrapped in
muslin, which witness declared to be the
weapon used by s. A. Guest in the sec
ond attack upon Lidden.
The Guests then retreated slowly. but
the crowd that had gathered passed to-
ward them. when, according to the wit
ness, both the Guest boys drew revolvers
and threatened to shoot the first man
who came nearer them. The crowd halt
ed and the Guests left the yard.
This story of the assault was practic-
ally repeated by other witnesses. among
whom were W. J. Truslow, Q. Calkins,
John Lee, N o. Calkins, George Sol
mond and III. Call.
At the conclusion of Calls testimony
the prosecution rested. TO the evident sur
prise of Attorney Joseph Chambers and
ex-Police Judge Austin, who conducted
the defense. Mr.. Cham bers asked for
and received continuance until next
Wednesday, wnen it is believed the trial
will be concluded. Liduen. who Is in the
hospital, is rapidly improving.

Mr.. LONG HAS QUALIFIED
But Police Commissioner Cook Has
Not as Yet
License De Not lssued-Chtef Glass
and Bauer

J. H. Long, one of the newly elected
police commissioners, has qualified. His
colleague, W. H. Cook, has not yet Off
cially signified an intention of accepting
the nonor thrust upon him.
George Berenstein has not yet received
the license tor his proposed resort at 1928
West Second street.. That u to say, the
permit has not as yet been officially de-
livered to him by the city clerk. The
license, by order of Acting Mayor Teed,
is being held and at the next meeting of
the board of police comm ssioners 1t will
be officially revoked. Councilman Frank
s. Munson is with Councilman Snyder
in declaring emphartically that the license
must under no circumstances be issued.
Chief of Police Glass is very much
wrought up over the alleged charge that
he reported favorably upon the appiica-
tion of Theodore Bauer for his saloon
license in the centsr of the Alameda
street fence. The Herald never stated
that the chief has officially reported for
the license. The chief did, however, in
open meeting of the board of police COM
missioners argue strongly for Bauer,
eulogizing the latter very highly and ex-
tolling his manifold virtues in very
forcble manner. The chief claimed to
tho board that Bauer was Just the man
for the proposed saloon and that his posi-
tion in the burnt district would enable
him to be of great assistance to the police
department.

II was said that Lord Dunrayen had
