The KEY MAN IN
STOCK SCANDAL
GETS HEARING

LOS ANGELES, Sept. IL, R-|
Jacob Berman, alias Jack Bennett
asserted key man in the Julian
stock over-iSSue scandal and invest
igation, today was brought into SUI
perior court where he pleaded guilty
to indictments charging forgery, en-
bezzlement, conspiracy to obtain
money under false pretenseS, and
conspiracy to violate the corporate
securities act.
Bennett, S. G. Lewis, resigned and
indicted president of the Julian COM
pany and nine other defendants won
fifty day postponement of their
trials on an indictment charging
conspiracy to overissue Julian stock
and to obtain money under false
pretenSes. Superior Judge Albert Ste
phens set Oct. 81 as the trial date
as a compromise between defense
demands for sixty day delay, and
those of the prosecution for trial
within thirty days. The court also
indicated that trials of the eleven
defendants on four other indictments
would be continued until after their
trial on the first charge.
Benefits trial for embezzlement
and forgery was set for an earlier
date, Oct. 3, by the court. His bond,
set at $250,000 was waived on this
indictment and zone of $4,000 set for
a. second Indictment. The bond was
furnished and Bennett was released.
The bright youngster" whom
Lewis brought from the east to be-
come his chief aid in the Julian
operations, and Lewis, in the court
room displayed the enmity which
apparently has ARISEN between the
two former close business associates
Lewis refused to greet or speak to
Bennett when the latter came before
him for the first time since the
company crashed and Bennett fled
to the east and abroad.
Both men have hurled charges
blaming each other for the overissue
mess, which. amounts to about SIS, ,4OO,-
600 Shares. Bennett, whom grand
jury auditors said had handled by
check, over $100O00,OOO of Julian
money, and of which they said sew
eral millions could not be accounted
for, at one time was reported to have
been seen in Paris, during his several
months absence from California.
Later he was reported arriving and
being talked with in New York City
He returned voluntarily after po-
lice and detectives had searched far
and wide for him, to California, and
surrendered to Deputy District Attor-
ney Harold Davis in San Francisco
last week. To the latter Bennett said
he would "tell all'' to help clear up
the embroglio and salvage the oil
concerns assets for it's stockholders.
The motion for the postponement
of the trial of the eleven alleged
conSpirators was based on the need
of time for the preparation of Ben,
nett's defense and for more time
to- determine which of sthe outstand-
ing Julian stock is valid and which
spurious, which was held necessary
for establishing the defense case.
Immediately after the dismissal of
court Bennett went into closed ses-
sion with auditors of the District
Attorneys office The move was
characterized as the first in line with
his promise to "leave no stone un-
turned until I have helped recover
millions of dollars for the receivers
and stockholders"

Cotton traders, however, differed
widely in their opinions as to thu
probable size of the current crop.
Some expressed the belief that the
coming of more favorable weather.

out most of the belt and drouth

similar to those Of last year, when
warm weather late in the season
brought about an increase in the

Others saw no similarity whatever
in the conditions, pointing out that
there was no such boil weevil in

the weather now may appear to be
favorable, there still is danger of

LEGISLATIVE RUBBISH


 One of the crying needs of the present day is the screening and repeating of the useless, enforceabe and unnecessary legislative rubbish" according to M J. Hickey, secretary of the National Industrial Council
 At recent conference held in New York; the council pledged itself labor for the smpication and codfca ton of really useful and necessary laws which buried obscured throughout law books by mass of obsolete unnecessary enactments.
 MT. Hickey declared that there about 2,500,- 900 separately enacted laws and ordinances the books of the various States More than II 900 more will be acted during 1927 The last Congress the introduc tion of 24, ,729 bills, of which 1,423 became laws
 It is his belief and most citizens will concur in his view that too many of lawmakers conceive it to be their duty to make msdeeanors out of trivial actions putting absurd restrictions freedom, burdenng nno cent people with udeserved punshments and otherwise loading the State books with unnecessary laws
 When reflect that most of these useless laws not only harass the public but cost them handsomely in way another it must be the inevitable conclusion that Mr. Hickey's point is well taken.
