JULIAN HEARING
CREEPING ALONG
AT SLOW PACE
Woman Juror Asserts
Promoters Charges I'M
pressed Her.
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 10
Echoes of the accusations C. C. Jul
ian hurled over the radio against
the asserted wreckers' of the
Julian Petroleum Corporation rang
again today at the trial of ten de
PENDANTS in connection with the col
lapse of the oil company.
Julian s name came into the trial
when Mrs. Mary A. Colby a pros
pective juror. admitted that the
Spring street promoters broadcast
eight months ago had made an i'm
preston upon her, and defense at
torneys challenged for cause.
The court denied the challenge
after Mrs. Colby, answering the
questions of Superior Judge William
G. Doran, stated that if she were
left ON the panel she would disre-
gard Julian's radio charges and
clear her mind of any previous opin-
ions.
Mrs. Colby told S. c. Lewis, for
mer "Pete'' president, who is his
own attorney, that she recalled
Julian had criticized him in the
radio "expose" and said she be-
lieved Julian was 'daring' in
some of the charges he uttered.
Further, she declared, the state
ment of Julian that many people
had suffered financial losses by rea-
son of the crash, caused her SYM
pathies to be with that group.
Only two jurors were examined
at the morning session, the dullest
since the trial opened last Thurs
day. During the four days of the
trial 35 Jurors have been questioned
and 81 have been excused on per-
emptory chai-cnges.
With maze Of confusing issues
already injected into the trial at
torneys for the state moved ahead
with their plans to secure jury OF
"super intelligence. - one that will
be capable of fathoming the intri-
cate and many sided defense thas
will be set up by the defendants.

Sensational testimony to the eff
feet that Hickman resembled one or
the bandits more than any of the
three defendants was given by Miss
Robert Scribcr L. on the witness
stand in superior court.
Miss Scribcr was seated in an ar-
tomobile across the street from the

She was preceded to the witness
stand by 10.ycar,old Eddie Yates,

Deputies Get
Still At Seeley

II. II. Haynes, SO, of Seeley dis

sheriffs early this morning and
brought to the county Jail, charged
with unlawful possession Of intoxi-

outbuilding on the ranch, known as
the old Henderson place, noticed
that the floor gave slightly under
his weight. Reaching down he
pulled up a trap door, disclosing a
cellar. The mash and liquor were
found in the cellar.
Haynes later admitted to the dep

EXPECT M'ADOO
READY TO TAKE
BRYAN'S MANTLE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The
possibility that William G. McAdoo
will step out at the Jackson Day
Democratic Peace Rally here Thurs
day to take charge of the forces
left leaderless when William Jen-
nings Bryan died interested Demo
cratic leaders today.
McAdoo is to speak and Demo
Gratis consider that his words may
determine whether new Bryan is
to take up the party's dry cause or
whether the wet leadership is to
prevail in strained harmony without
challenge.
The fact that Governor AL Smith
of New York, McAdoo' s opponent
in the party split of 1924, is not to
be present and is not to be repre-.
sented at the dinner, has given some
party leaders the impression that
the dry faction may control.
Some Democratic senators profess
to know that McAdoo will make
only brief address pointing to the
need for harmony in party ranks.
The Smith men would consider such
an address an indication that Nc
Adoo intends to let Smith be no.
minated by the convention withou,
starting disruptive party fight.
Other Democratic Senators are as
firmly convinced McAdoo will step
into Bryan s shoes with a vigorous
challenge to the party's wet ele-
ment,.

were killed by an explosion in the
Industrial Coal Company's Mine No.
Is at 7:40 a. m. Yesterday, although
it was not until last night that the
number of fatalities was learned.
Identification of the men, because
of their condition, was effected in
all but two instances by means of
safety lamp numbers pinned to
their clothing.
One of the dead men had hurried
ly halked the number of his room
on his boots and belt and was ident-
flied as Ray Farrell.
All of the men, huddled together
500 feet below the surface and a
mile from the mine "bottom were
found hours after the explosion by
rescue squads from nearby mining
towns.
Difficulty in learning the extent
of the tragedy was caused by in
accessibility of the affected por-
ton and by refusal of the mine
owners to discuss the affair with
newspapermen.
Relatives of the victims, further
more, were barred from the mine
property and were forced to estab-
lish identify of their loved ones at
the morgue after the bodies were
brought up last night.

Van Bezel. The men fined are:
Mike Karalla, Calexico, $40; Martin
Duria, Imperial, $40; Jack Steel, Ell
Centre, $40, suspended sentence be-
ing given on So of the fine.
The men were three of eight that
had been ticketed by the patrolman
on Second street few days ago
when an automobile caught fire and
dozen or more ears disobeyed the
ruling to keep fire lanes open.
All were ordered to appear before
Judge Perkins this morning. Those
who failed to appear this morning
will be arrested on bench warrants
issued by the judge this morning
We must put an immediate stop
to this running to fires the judge
declared. "Our system of fire pro-
lection here calls for manv volun-
teer machines to be given the right
of way and this idea of every mo-
torist speeding to the scene of the
fire serves only to clog up the lanes
and hamper the firemen. We will
show no leniency in these cases and
unless the motorist feels that he can
afford heavy penalty he may ac-
cept this as a warning to keep out
of the way of the firemen.

Heavy Trading On
Stock Exchange
by United Press Leased Wire

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The New
York Stock Exchange went through
its third 100000 share day of
1928 and its 14th in history today.
Prices were generally lower at the
close after hours of frenzied trad
ing.
Total sales for the day were
1927, ,000 shares.
Pressure of the trading centered
on General Motors and United
States Steel. General Motors closed
at 1872, loss of ] l-2 points for
the day and U. S. Steel at l4S IL,
a loss of l2 point.
Both stocks were able to meet at
tacks with strong support which
prevented heavier losses, while the
Steel Tonnage report, showing an
untitled tonnage increase of some
100000 tons gave that stock
strength which it needed.
