Washington, Dec. 10.-With a de-

opinion which may be one of the most
far-reaching victories for bone dry

John E. Herman, Wichita Man,
Accused OF "WallingfOrding."
Receiver Asked for Crescent
Oil and Gas Company.
HERMAN IS ITS PRESIDENT
He's Accused of Selling Stock
and POcketing Proceeds. !,
Leases Supposed to Belong to
Company in His Name.

Too much Wallingford by officials
of the Crescent Oil & Gas company,
Wichita concern, caused that company
today to bump into receivership trou-
bles. John Hunt, assistant attorney
general, has filed an application for
a receiver for the company in the
Sedgwick county district court and
has barred some of the alleged get
rich-quick activities of at least one
of the officials.
John E. Herman, president of the
company, is charged with the high
financial operations which caused the
oil company trouble. Herman, accord
ing to the petition prepared by the
attorney generals office, laid aside
a neat little bank account as a result
of his operations at the expense of
the Crescent company stock holders.
He Made Big Money.
One of Herman's alleged operations
was the sale of 900 shares of COM
pany stock at SIS a share. He turned
IS a share into the company treas
ury and deposited the remaining $17,-
600 from the sale of the 1000 shares
that the par value of the stock was
$40 a share He convinced investors
the stock was worth $25 share. The
blue sky board allowed the company
not more than twenty per cent for
promotion. So Herman took the
twenty per cent as well as the profits
and gave the company the $4,000 from
the $4,000 stock sale.
But Mr.. Herman. being ambitious,
didn't seem to stop there. The states
petition charges that he purported TO
sell 1,035 shares of company stock at
$25 a share, but instead of delivering
company stock and turning the mon
ey into the treasury, Herman sold the
promotion stock voted to him by the
company and kept all the proceeds.
Then Herman negotiated for the
Waite lease in Butler county. The
owners of the land were to receive
$500 from the first production. In
the Crescent company prospectus, the
Waite lease is shown as a portion of
its holdings.
Herman Held Leases.
Several productive wells have been
found on the Waite lease. Recently
Herman gave the stockholders a tip
He told them the lease didn't belong
to the company. 1t belonged to him
personally. And he produced papers
to establish his claim.
In his operations Herman is charged
with the use of the companys name
and blanks, that he represented to
make sales and leases for the com
pany. Instead Mr.. Herman is charged
with operating for Mr. Herman and
Mr. Herman alone. Charter laws and
the blue sky permit of the state have
been violated. thru the Herman activ-
tiles, it is charged, and the courts
have been asked to provide a receiv-
erShip, terminate the corporate DOW
erS of the company and deny it the
right to do business in Kansas. re-
ownership over a one-half interest in
the Waite lease is also asked for the
protection of innocent stockholders in
