SECURE WARRANTSFOR
ARRESTO PROMOTERS
LOS ANGELES MEN WANTED IN
SANTA BARBARA
Managers of Ostrich Farm Are Said
to Have Fled with Funds De-
posted with Them by
Stockholders

SANTA BARBARA, April 20.-War-
rants were sworn to this afternoon by
Clio L. Lloyd, chief cderk of the as
sembly, for the arrest of e. B. Mcken-
ney and E. L. Lee of Los Angeles, pro-
moters of the Santa Barbara ostrich
farm.
The funds that have been secured
from local stockholders of the company,
it is alleged, have been appropriated
by the promoters for their own use.
Both McKenney and Lee departed from
here shortly after the farm was opened.
All labor bills, amounting to over $l0O0,
were left unpaid. The promoters rep
resented that prominent Los Angeles
and San Francisco capitalists were
stockholders in the local farm, and
among names used was that or l. W.
Hellman.
Since the local stockholders have Sc
cured possession of the books or tne
company it has been discovered tha'
the representation that outside capital
lists were investors is false ana ina,
the minute books of the corporation
were falsified, showing meetings ano
motions made by local directors al
same. which were never held.
1t is claimed Lee and McKenney. E
n. Massey and Mortimer Bennett have
cleaned up about $4,000 from local easy
marks and that all of the money ex-
nended by the quartet in the interest OF
the farm was the first payment of $1,000
on the dozen ostriches that are here
and there has been heaped upon the
local stockholders the payment OF the
balance on the ostriches and the cost
of construction of the farm, probably
about $4,000.
