PSYCHOLOGIST FAILS
TO ESCAPE JUDGMENT
DR.. Prices Transfers of Stock
and Realty Held Illegal

That transfers of stock and realty
by Dr. w. r. Price, psychologist
and stock promoter of Long Beach, to
his wife, Mrs. Mary Price, and his
friend, Clinton Johnson, were illegal,
and that j. M. Sewell may proceed to
collect a Judgment against him, was
declared in an opinion handed down
yesterday by Judge Hervey of the su-
perior court.
Price sold large block of stock in
the National Gold Dredging company
to Sewell, who, declaring that the
stock was .misrepresented to him, sued
Tor return of his money. He OBJ
tanned a judgment for $772S.58, but
when he tried to collect he could OBJ
tain only $5.55, and that only with the
aid of officers.
With the alleged purpose of avoiding
collection of the judgment by Sewell.
Price transferred 245 shares of stock
in the building association of the So
ciety of New and Practical Psychology
at Long Beach, valued at $2450, to his
wife and 1400 shares to Johnson, not to
mention disposing of certain realty
holdings to others.
Sewell brought another suit against
Price which was heard and taken un-
der advisement recently by Judge Her.
vey, the opinion given down yester-
day by him empowering Sewell to pro-
ceed with the collection of the judg-
ment

JURY EX0NERATES BOY
WHO KILLED PLAYMATE
Mother of Acquitted Lad FaintS
During Trial

While Cecil D'Arman was on trial
yesterday before Judge Wilbur of the
juvenile court, his mother, Mrs. u. q.
D'Arman, who killed her husbands af-
finity, Mrs. Helen Griffin, two years
ago, was in dead faint in an ante
room.
BY the time the boy, who Is II years
old and who recently shot and killed
his girl playmate at Monrovia, being
exonerated by a coroner's jury, was
acquitted of the charge of being a
delinquent child, his mother was near
ly recovered, and her sons acquittal
was a further aid in bringing her back
to her normal condition.
Residents of MonroVia complained
about the boy after he accidentally
killed the girl, accusing him of near
criminal actions, and he was arrested
and placed in the county Jail. About
thirty witnesses, many of whom were
his friends, testified in the case yester-
day.
Mrs. D'Arman attracted unusual at
tention to the family two years ago
when she shot and killed Mrs. Griffin.
She told a story of great marital in
felicity because of her husbands ac-
tions with Mrs. Griffin and by appeal
ing to the unwritten law was given
her freedom.

PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO
MAKE BRICKYARDS MOVE
Plants May Be Compelled to
Stay in Industrial District

Brickyards not in the industrial
district are to be given one year to
close up their business and get out
of town or into the industrial district
and those that are not within the in
dustrial district will be subjected to
strict regulations, If the recommended
ton the legislation committee will re-
port to the council today is adopted.
The recommendation is the outcome
of a hearing before the committee last
Saturday morning in which Boyle
Heights residents asked that four
brickyards in their district be ousted
as soon as possible. They complained
of them as nuisances and a serious
detriment to the value of their prop
erty.
There are four brickyards in Boyle
Heights that were the subjects of COM
plant, but all except the Los Angeles
Brick company are in the industrial
district.
The committee will recommend that
the city attorney be instructed to draw
an ordinance Incorporating the most
stringent regulations of brickyardS
that are not asked to move. They
must be equipped with smoke con-
sumers and every modern device to
render them as innocuous as pos
sible," as Councilman Andrews, chair
man of the legislation committee, ex-
pressed it.
The provisions of the ordinance will
apply to every brickyard in the city.

MAYS GUSHER DROPS TO
SEVEN HUNDRED BARRELS

TAFT, Dec. 1.-THE Mays well on
section 30 31-23, which came in
short time before the Lakeview and
was pronounced at that time the "big-
best well in the world" is now flow
imp about 700 barrels a day. The job
of installing the Texas strainer does
not appear to have been very success
full in this instance and the produc-
tion of the we'll is further reduced by
an obstruction in the tubing above
the perforation, SO that the well is
flowing between the tubing and the
inner casing only.
1t is not the intention of the manage
ment to bother with 1t as long as there
is fairly good production, but should
1t continue TO decrease 1t is probable
that the treatment of hot oil will be
used. The production of the well two
months ago was reliably reported at
100 barrels a day.
Well No. which is in the southeast
corner and directly across the forty
acre lease from No. 1 is down 200 feet
with the eight-inch casing and going
nicely. According to the log of No. /
this we'll should reach the sand at
about 1900 feet. 1t will be finished
with six-inch casing, giving much
larger opening into the sand than that
of No. 1.

News of the Courts
OFFICIALS ASK RELEASE
OF TWO IN MURDER CASE
Deputy District Attorney Ex-
plains Facts in the ShiveIy
Tragedy at San Gabriel

Joseph Ford, deputy district attor-
ney, yesterday asked that George A.
Stone and his wife, Clara Stone, ac-
cused of having murdered their friend,
Morgan Shively at San Gabriel jan
uary 2 last, be released. He gave as a
reason for the request that the district
attorney and his associates realized
there could be no conviction on the
evidence that could be produced. Judge
Davis dismissed the case.
Shively was a motorman for the Pa
cific Electric Railway company and
lived with the Stones at their San
Gabriel home. Besides the defendants,
the last person to see him alive was
the conductor who worked with him,
Fred r. Donaldson, to whom he said
goodby at the end of their run" about
2:15 o'clock the morning of January q.
His body was found at o'clock that
morning a few blocks from the house
occupied by the Stones.
Prior to moving the dismissal of the
case and the release of the defendants
Mr.. Ford made a statement to the
court in which he reviewed the circum-
stances of the tragedy and the mys-
terry enveloping it. He stated that
neither husband nor wife could be
compelled to testify against each
other; that no one else, so far as could
be learned, has any knowledge of the
events Immediately preceding the
tragedy, and that the defendants cer-
tainly would be acquitted, in the cir
cumstances, If put on trial. He added
that the crime charged-murder-d
not outlaw, and therefore new prose-
cutions may be started if additional
evidence is obtained.

MINING AND OIL
WELL FLOWS
200 BARRELS A DAY
Indications Are New Producer
viii Gradually Increase Out
put-FOur Rigs Drilling

The Palmer Oil company's we'll No.
came in last Friday. When put on
the pump il started off at the rate OF
200 barrels n day, accompanied by very
strong gas pressure. AS the SAND
clears the well becomes stronger, the
output steadily increasing. This is the
manner in which all the Palmer wells
have come in, small at first and stead
lily increasing to big producers. From
all indications this new one is in a
fair way to rival the No. 2 B, which
flows 5000 barrels a day.
The Palmer company now has four
producing wells. Four more are drilling.
The next one to come in will be No.
z S, now cementing. Following that
No. B will come in. 1t Is at present
drilling in blue shale at 1900 feet.
The company has been successful
from the start. It's well. No. 1 B alone
enabled 1t to pay dividends of l per
cent O share month before No. 2
came in. Every we'll that goes down Is
a success, and the Palmer company
alone has $50 acres to cover with wells.
With the Palmer Junior and Palmer
Senior included the holdings amount to
2710 acres.
In this area the pay sands run from
800 to 1900 feet thick, with a saturation
of Is to 60 per cent. w. w. Orcutt,
geologist for the Union Oil company
figures that there are 100000 barrels
of oil to the acre in parts of this ter
ritory.

PLAN BOULEVARDS FOR
GRIFFITH PARK ENTRANCES

South entrances to Griffith park are
to be provided with broad, beautiful
boulevards, if the plan of ]. B. Lippin-
colt, park commissioner, is carried out.
A start was made on the plan yes
terday when the park commission
asked the council to instruct the city
engineer to prepare surveys and ordi-
nances for the condemnation of land
for the boulevards. 1t is planned to
have one road enter Mocchuenga can
yon at the head of Western avenue
and another at the head of Vermont
avenue.
These boulevards are to be 200 feet
wide, but as the land that will be used
for them is not high priced, it is not
expected that the Improvement will be
expensive.
The only entrance to the big natu-
raj park now Is from the north side,
and it is almost inaccessible from the
Hollywood side.

LOST HILLS STRIKE

BAKERSFIELD, Dec. 12.-Robert
RAIDER, on section 80, 27-22, at the
southern extremity of the Lost Hills,
has seven feet of good oil sand at $50
feet, and some thinner streaks still
shallower. A two-foot vein oil sand
quarter.
RAIDER, who is not geological ex-
pert, but who has had a great deal Of
experience as practical man, long be-
fore any drillings were made in this
part of the field, predicted that oil
wcdld be found between 300 and 400
feet He based his opinion on the
formation as he was able to trace it
from the surface, and from the same
indications he thinks he will find a
thicker oil sand at greater depth.
The present strike is sufficient to
prove upon, and the derrick was moved
to another location.

MILL ON CHERRY CREEK
SUSPENDS OPERATIONS
Glasgow and Western Gives Out
Orders to Discontinue Work.
No Reasons Are Given

WINNEMUCCA, New, Dec. 12.-Op-
erations at the Star mill of the Glas-
gov and Western Exploration COM
pany at Cherry Creek suddenly ceased
last Friday when orders were received
by telegraph to shut down the mill at
once Why the order was given or
how long the mill remains idle is un-
known at present, nor can any one
figure out the reason. About twenty
men were employed in and around the
mill.
The shutdown cannot be on account
of lack Of ore, though 1T may be be-
cause the grade Of ore now being
mined is high enough to ship to the
smelter as economically as to treat 1t
in the mill at the mine. A report says
a two-foot ledge was recently opened
that carries 200 ounces silver ore to
the ton, and the claim is made that
another strike was also made of the
richest ore ever found in the mine,
which was famous years ago for the
high grade silver ores that were hauled
to Toana and shipped to smelters for
reduction.
The Exploration company is con-
trolled by Scotch and English capital
lists and owns mines at Battle noun
tain and Goleonda In this state and
one in Utah, besides being interested
in mining in other parts of the world.
King Edward VII was said to have
been one OF the owners of the COM
pany. For seven years previous to
two years ago the mine was idle, ex-
cept that force of nine engineers and
pumpmen were kept at work pumping
the water from the lower workings at
an estimated expense of several thou
sand dollars a month. The mill at the
mine is the fourth erected for the
property and has q capacity of 100 tons
a day, being equipped with a concen-
trating and cyanide combination

Municipal Affairs
AMENDMENTS PROPOSED
FOR LIQUOR ORDINANCE
Permission May Be Granted to
Sell Beer at PicniCS
and Outings

Several amendments to the liquor
ordinance were proposed to the police
commission by Guy Eddie, city prose-
cutor, at the meeting last night. These
amendments are to be considered by
the committee Of the whole and If they
meet the approval of the commission
the council will be asked to amend
the ordinance.
One amendment is that asked for by
the central organization of the Ger
man-American societies and which the
council denied last week. 1t will en-
able the police commission to grant a
special permit to sell liquor for one
day only to bona fide organizations.
Such permits cannot be granted more
than six times year to one organiZa-
ton. No license fee Is suggested, but
II probably will be S. or SO day. The
Los Angeles Germans want such pro-
vision so they can have beer at their
picnics and dances.
Another amendment prohibits hotels
serving liquor in their restaurants
without meals. BY another lessees are
given the right to sign protests against
the commission granting a liquor per-
NIT in the block in which they do
business, as well as the property own
ers.

WIDOW ASKS $4,000 FOR.
BEING ACCUSED OF Thief 7

Directing to being accused of bur-
glary and taking a $500 piano from a
house, Harriet K. Collins, a widow
with one son, who says she works hard
for all that she gets, yesterday filed IN
the superior court a suit against Fred
C. Short for damages of $4,000.
Mrs. Collins alleges that Short caused
her arrest by representing that while
he was i'll in hospital in this city,
she entered his home and took there
from a piano. She says that she was
arrested and gained her freedom only
by supplying bonds of $500. Then her
case was dismissed by a justice of
the peace. She wants $4,000 as COM
pensatory damages and $4,000 more for
'the sake of example"

Within a few yards of the Atlantic
OIL company's derrick for well No.
on Sulphur mountain, I. e. Levi and
party yesterday found the perfectly
fossilized remains of q large whale
and promptly named the well the
Whale. The big animal is embedded
in the shale formation on the top of
the mountain, at an elevation of 2500
feet and about eighteen miles inland
from the coast. Embedded with 1t are
a number OF fossil shells and small
fish. The whole mountain Is an i'm
mense portion of elevated sea bed,
everything an oil bearing formation
which crops out in places and has a
number of oil and gas seepages.
