Former Officials of Coast City Investment Company, a Large Home Building Concern, Charged With Fraudulent Use of Mails
ALL RELEASED
 ON HEAVY BAIL
Grand Jury Had Previously
 Seized All Books of Con ccrn and Several Subsid- iaries and Summoned the Man Who Audited Them
rAssocrArED PRESS DEsPATcHI


 LOS ANGELES, Nov. l4.-EleVen former officials of the Los Angeles In vestmcnt company. one of the largest home building concerns in southern California; indicted today for alleged fraudulent use of the mails. were re- leased. pending trial and further in vestigation by the federal grand jury on bonds ranging from S25.ooo to $1o.- GOO The indictment, d blanket bill charging the defendants with having misrepresented the company's affairs in statements sent through the mails is the result of an investigation started by the postal authorities several weeks ago. when the price of the concerns stock suddenly slumped and various reports as to it's condition started a run on the Globe Savings bank, an af- fiIiatcd institution.
 Charles A. Elder. former president of the company is held in the largest ball. $25.0oo.
 William D. DeebIe. former secretary of the company is held in $15.0oo boil.
 George M Derby, former treasurer is held in $15,o00 bail
 The others Charles Cassatt Davis Harry D. Rodgers Charles T.. BagIey Fred L. NoWder, Ernest Ingold, A. F. Thomson, Earl F. Elder and w. Fran cis Gates are held in $10. 900 bail each
 When the federal grand jury took charge of the investigation ten days ago and Elder and his associates re- signed. Stoddard Jess, a banker; b A. Hamburger, a merchant: Harry Chand- Ter. q capitalist, and several other fi- nanciers were called to take charge The Globe Savings bank was then sold to another institution.
 ' The grand jury seized the books of the concern and several subsidiaries and summoned q public auditor who had been previously engaged to audit ! the books. This auditors report showed apparently that Elder and his associ- ates appropriated to themselves S21. 900 shares of the stock for which no cash had been paid and on which they are alleged to have drawn dividends regu- larly.
 ! These dividends it is said at times amounted to as much as 34 per cent The auditors report also showed that the guarantee fund which was advcr- tised in the literature sent through the mails as having been established by the . company 10 redeem the stock and pre- ! vent a loss to stockholders was ] operated not by the company but by former officers as a private concern. and that ambiguous language was used i to convey the impression the so-called ! fund consisted of money actually on ] deposit in bank Another feature of : the report was the statement of for mer officers in figuring the value of the assets as listed in the advertising i literature. added to such assets as , yearly interest and in the case of lands 'unearned increment"
 on the basis of these figures the as- sets controlled by the company amounted to more than $20,000. 900 A few months ago the stock of the com pany sold for more than S4 a share and today closed at $119.

 Local Southern Pacific officials say they examined today thirty-six en- eineers who applied for work and also said the SVitchmen's union of North America is offering men to the com panv. Three switching crews were on duty in the Southern Pacific yards. but they had little to do as the union men working on the other roads refuse to accept freight handled by men not af- fiIiated with their unions.

WILL CONSIDER PLAYERS1 DEMANDS
Gov. Tener To Attend National League Meeting To Accept
 Office of Presidency.

New York, Dec. 6-Governor John Tener, of Pennsylvania will be in New York next Tuesday at the meet ing of the National League when he is to be elected president to succeed Thomas J. Lynch. In addition to the election of a, president, the magnates will consider several other important matters behind closed doors.
 The seventeen demands of the base ball players fraternity will be received and considered. Each demand will be voted on. The league will be asked to instruct President Tener how to vote as a member of the National Baseball Commission when the frater- nity's demands come before the su- preme court of baseball in Cincinnati in January, The American League al- ready has, empowered President Ban Johnson to act while the major leagues also will 1Send a report to the Cincin- nati conference.
 Another matter to be consid idered by the National League is the new draft ing system originated by President Ebbetts, of the Brooklyn Club which was suggested by him at Cincinnati in September. This plan does away with the lottery system of securing minor players whose services have been claimed by various clubs to. benefit the weaker teams in both major leagues

HOWARD JONES MAY
 NOT RETURN TO YALE

Although it is ar present generally understood and hoped that Howard Jones will return to Yale next year to take charge again of the Elis grid iron forces. there are influences at work which may make this impOs- sible. An attractive business offer has been made to him and his friends are urging him to accept it instead of continuing with the Yale team.
 It would be decidedly unfortunate for the future chances of the eleven if this advice should in the end pre- vail. Jones came this year with the unexpressed understanding that he would remain long enough to estab- fish the winning system which it was known he could produce It was not expected when his services were sought that he would be able to make that system effective before the season of 1914, but the rounding out of a far more than mediocre eleven the latter part of this year showed that he was entitled to be classed with Percy Haughton and the rest of the foremost coaches of the day.
 Jones' experience in teaching foot ball before he took charge of the Blue team last fall was by no means scanty, Beginning with the forming

MIKE GLOVER IS AFTER
 BOUT WITH MyFARJlAND

Sporting Editor of The F'armer:- Mike Glover. the claimant of the welterweight title, is anxious to settle once and for all who is the real cham pion of that class, and Tor that reason he would like to box -Packey McFar- land. Mike weighed 158 pounds ring side last Thursday and gave Jack Brit ton a beating that he won't ever for get, scoring a knockdown in the 7th round and the bell sounded with Jack on the floor, which is more than Mo Far1and could do.
 Mike outboxed and oI1tpunched Britton all the way and now I think he is entitled to fight with Packey. Mikes record speaks for itself. He has defeated Battling Levinsky twice, Jack Dillon and Buck Grouse, which is some record and much better than beating little lightweights
 Hoping that we will hear from Mo Farland soon, I remain,
 Yours truly,
 BILLY CLOVER
 Manager.

They were Jake Daubert and Mrs. Daubert. with Master George Daubert, mascot of the team; Shortstop Bob Fisher and Mrs. Fisher; John Hummel, utility man, and Mrs. Humhel, and Umpire Rigler, who was accompanied by his wife.

 Two Cuban players were signed for major league clubs. They are pitch CTS of the Havana Club, Palmero and Luque. The first named was signed by the Giants, and the other by the Bostons. Rigler promised a major league contract to Gonzales, third baseman of the Havana Club, who is eighteen years old

WANTS HARVARD
 GAME WEEK LATER
Says Battle Too Close To Con
 test With Princeton.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 6-The liar yard football committee has, been ask ed to consider staging next seasons football contest with Yale one week later than has been the custom here tofore. "<i BE
 The Tale football authorities are of the opinion that it's teams are weak ened annually in their matches against the Crimson because of the hard contest through which the elev- en. passes each fall in meeting Prince ton the week previous. With two weeks between the two most impor- tant games on their schedule Yale lg- ures that she will be best fitted to present her strongest front in both matches.
 No definite action will be taken on the Yale petition until after the cleo ton of a captain, fortnight hence. Princeton's game for next season was originally booked for November 2. The Tigers are now seeking to have 1t a week ahead, as their annual contest with Yale comes a week later.
 Holy Cross and probably one other eleven will be missing from Harvard's schedule this fall. Virginia and Michigan are being considered for the existing vacancies.

 For The Title

fish champion.
 Don't imagine am ''touting'' Welsh to lick Ritchie, I'm not. I do not 1 think there is a legitimate lightweight in the game who could get better than the small end of a purse in a distance bout with Willie, although in ten round affair Welsh might outpoint
 him. It is no easy task to get to a Ishifty fellow like welsh often enough and hard enough to stop him in ten round contest.
 But in a long match-wen, I be- 1ieve Ritchie is too firmly seated on the lightweight throne to be pried loose by Welsh or any other light weight now before the public.
 Jack Britton went over his head in Brooklyn the other night, Foxy Dan Morgan who represents Britton sell dom makes mistakes in matchmaking, g, but when he agreed to let his stable star box Mike Glover, of Boston, ten rounds at 40 pounds, ringside, thin k ing he had p1ucked a lemon, Sir Dan iel pulled a "bone."
 Glover evidently is one of the clas- siest welters in the country. Any 14O pound boy who can outpoint Brit ton so c1everly in a limited round bout must have class to spare. For quite a little while Glover has been poster ing local promoters for a match with Packey Mcfarland at 14O pounds, but everybody naturally figured Mike was shooting a bit too high, and advised him to first go 'sget a rep'' which would warrant him. in asking for a bout with a man the ca1ibre of the great Packey. Now, since his grand display of ring work against Britton both matchHakers and critics are strong for a McFarland-GIover bout. While Packey has not yet been ap- preached 1t is thought he will not be averse to a joust with Glover. He has been keeping in splendid shape lately by boxing about once a week. with welters exclusively at that which makes it look as if he intended to de- vote his efforts to that division for the future of his career.
 Glover may be just the fellow who can put Mcfarland to the test Nat urally Mike Gibbons would be our choice, but at that he may be too heavy for the stock-yards' champion. Glover and Mcfarland would scale about the same figure at their best, and Judging from what he did to Brit ton the Boston man would extend Packey more than any other fellow

The Remington-Yosts will play the Crickets- of New Haven at Yost field tomorrow afternoon. This team claims to have a number of the Washington G1ee. club players and Manager Keen an expects the Yosts will be bothered by the Elm City boys. If the Yosts win in Torrington today they may clash next Sunday with the winner Of the Waterbury-Annex game, which takes place in New Haven tomorrow.
 Manager Keenan takes issue with the fan who put a piece in the papers criticising the Yosts for going out of town to play Torrington. we didn't establish that precedent" says Keenan. 'tIn the old days the Acorns and Yan- nigans used to go out of town for Thanksgiving games and nobody roast ed them. I also take exception to- the remarks about our playing minor teams in the early games. Every foot ball fan knows that college elevens start their schedules by playing weak teams and gradually taking on the strong ones. We have to follow the same course to get our players in shape for the big battles"
 Although nothing definite has been decided, Manager Keenan is hopeful of playing the Annex here next week. The New Haven boys dos not appear anxious to play and are making all sorts of excuses but they may come through at the last minute.
 Sing Hosan is the name of a Chinese fighter who is knocking lem all out in the west. That would look neat on a laundry sign.
