FOR CONTEMPT,
GUSTS PROBERS
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4.-Wheth-
er or not c. c. Julian, president of
the $30,000,0o0 Julian Petroleum
! corporation, was in contempt of
court when he refused to turn over
all his books to the federal grand
jury will be decided in Federal
Judge Bledsoe's court Monday, Oc-
tober Is.
Julian was cited for contempt of
court late yesterday when, after
boiu0 ordered to appear before the
grand jury for an investigation of
nIs 1lrm business, liz Geenned to
produce his personal books and
others dealing with his activities
prior to the formation of the pres
ent corporation.
David V. Cahill, special assistant
to the attorney general, here inves-
tigating alleged ''wildcat' oil
concerns, Immediately presented to
Judge Bledsoe a petition seeking to
have Julian, 0. S. Witherell, his
treasurer, and other officials of the
corporation cited for contempt of
court.
Hearing on the petition progress
ed to the stage where the court or
dered U. S. Marshall Al Sittell to
take charge of all the firm s books
and keep them under lock and key
until October IS, when the hearing
will be completed.
Summons Surprise
Julian's summons before the
grand jury came as surprise to
oil men. Stockholders in the cor
poration, numbering more than
10000, are scattered throughout the
entire country.
Julian stated that special govern
ment investigators have been going
over his books for months. He
even set aside an office for their
use and gave them every possible
assistance, he declared.
''Four or five different crews
used to come down to my place and
squint at the records. Finally L
simply had to give them two weeks
notice TO get out, as Hdu W cio''
my books for the year.
"This last action is just another
step in the campaign of my enemies
to break up my organization and
drive me out of business entirely. ~
Pathway of the Julian Petroleum
corporation has been anything but
smooth. Probe by government in
spectors has followed investiga-
tions by the state corporation COM
mission. Through it all, Julian has
kept optimistieally predicting
brighter days ahead, despite the
fact that stock in the corporation
has fallen far below par.
Recently at big meeting in the
Hollywood Bowl, the oil man re-
ouested all investors to send i'll their
stock so it may be placed in escrow
esto keep the gamblers from ham
mering the price down. Julian
has recently been trying to raise
money to complete his refinery.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, Oct. TO-
The ousting of former Attorney
General Daughqrty was again in
The limelight today following the
charge by Daniel F. Steck, Demo
cratic candidate for the United
States senate, that Senator Burton
h. Wheeler, Independent candidate
for vice president, drummed up i'm
portant witnesses against Daugher-
ty. Steck, in a speech here last
night, demanded Attorney General
Stone investigate tho manner in
which members of the senate Daug-
herty investigating committee sum
moned witnesses and also what Sen
ator Smith w. Brookhart, his op-
ponent in the present campaign,
had to do with the calling of these
witnesses. Brookhart was chair
man Of the committee.
An affidavit said to be from A.
l.. Fink, stock broker of Buffalo,
y. y, was read by Steck. 1t was
said that Fink was coerced into
aiding the investigating committee
into securing Roxie Stinson to 90
10 Washington to testify against
Daugherty upon the promise that
Fink was to be made internal reve-
nue. collector at Buffalo.
Senator Wheeler was named in
the affidavit read by Steck as hav-
ing promised Miss Stinson an op-
portunity to profit on the stock
marked upon the resignation of
Daugherty if she would testify. A
framed story was TO have been
sold by Miss Stinson, the affida-
vit said, to some prominent Demo

however, was not used because of

CIAL, ENROUTE TO CINCINATI,
Ohio Oct. 10.-With assurances of
Michigan Independent leaders that
he would carry the state in Novem-
Der, Senator LII Toilette left De-
troit today to carry his fight for
the presidency into Ohio.
The fiery Independent leader said
today that he felt that he had not
been misled by empty promises.
The 5000 people who paid 81 ad-
mission to the Arena Gardens last
night to hear him flav the two old
parties led him to believe his cam.
paign will be successful.
La Toilette indicated he had q
winning complex. -
Tho greatest ovation given him
came when he said 81 expect TO be
elected president on November 4. -
Down with the injunction, -
yelled a man in the audience.
"When / became president, " said
La Toilette, ",thc army will never
be used to shoot down strikers. "
The senator struck at Charles G..
Dawes, Republican vice presidential
candidate, for his connection with
the Lorimer Bank failure. He
charged Dawes was "involved in a
fraudulent transaction involving
$3.50, 600 which resulted. in four
thousand depositors in Lorimer Is

Cotton Growers
Urged to Attend
Coming Meeting

w. A. McFadden of Westmorland
is rounding up cotton growers to at
tend the melting TO be held at Braw-
ley city hall next Tuesday evening
for the purpose of discussing the
low prices being paid valley grow
ers for cotton seed. Growers de-
clare that the $40 ton price paid
them at the gins here is far less
than what Texas growers are being
paid, and many cotton men are feed
ing their seed TO live stock here,
rather than accept the low figure.
A particular request is made that
every valley grower who is inter
ested in seeing the price of cotton
seed increased, be at the Brawley
meeting next week.
