Charges Against
Julian Officials
May Be Dropped
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, May 26.-Dis-
missal of all indictments in the
various Julian Petroleum Corpora
tion ramifications was predicted to-
day when it was learned that Sup
erior Judge Doran had summoned
all defendants to appear in his court
Tuesday.
While the iurist tould not be
reached it was presumed his order
meant dismissal of charges since
none of the Al financicrs named in
the indictment was scheduled for
trial before July 9.
Defense attorneys pointed out that
Judge Doran, under the penal code,
is permitted to dismiss the cases in
event he feels the evidence will not
be sufficient to convict.
Judge Doran gave out a statement
condemning the manner in which
the district attorney had conduct
ed the ease against seven Julian
conspiracy defendants found not
guilty last week.
District Attorney Asa Reyes ad-
mitted today he had "heard ru-
mors' of the contemplated dis
missals and said he would not OPP
pose Judge Doran if the jurist re-
leased the defendants.

IS LONG
OVERDUE
Huge Airship Battered
By Severe Storms Not
Heard From As Yet.
RESCUE UNDER WAY
Amundsen To Head Party
of Relief Ordered Out
From Norway.

Copyright, 1928 by United Press)
Buffeted by storms, her fabrics
ripped, one of her motors disabled,
her fuel probably exhausted, her
crew half frozen and exhausted aft
cr nearly 48 hours at emergency
posts and S313 hours in the air, the
polar dirigible Italia at IL a. m.
eastern standard time, today had
been silent for Is hours.
Sixty-two hours before she had
nosed proudly over the north pole
the third flying craft to accomplish
the feat-and had dropped over her
side various objects to signify
man s supremacy over the inimical
Arctic elements.
At II a. m. the Italia was 431a
hours overdue at Spitzbergen, in
desperate straits.
The last message from Kings Bay,
Spitzbergen, sent at $50 a. H.,
eastern standard time, started off:
"NO news from the Italia.' AS
the ship in the air or her crew on
the frozen Arctic waste fought for
life, all resources of the European
northland were being modified to
go to their aid
The Norwegian government sum-
. moned an urgent meeting of polar
experts in response to an appeal by
the Italian ambassador at Oslo.
Amundsen in Charge
Roald Amundsen, ace of the Arc
tie, discoverer of the south pole, and
companion of the Italia s command
er on a previous north pole flight,
was expected to take charge of q
relief expedition.
The supply ship Citta di Milano,
the Italia S base ship at Kings Bay,
Spitzharge had steam up and was
preparing to leave momentarily to
buck the ice in an effort to reach
the northern part of the island -
where the Italia last was reported
by circuitous route around the
eastern coast, where the ice was less
thickly iammed than on the west
orn side.
While these two expeditions were
preparing to 90 to the storm-strick-
en- dirigible's aid, sealing ships and
trappers in the little islands north
of Spitzbergen, up past the north
ernmost point of civilization, were
searching for the Italia ON land and
listening for the sound of her en-
gines in the air.
A radio message from one of the
sealing ships gave but little hope
that their help would be of much a
vail.
The fog was so thick, it was said,
that the Italia could not be seen
short distance away and an icy
gale was bowling so strongly, as it
in derisive triumph, that the whirr
of her motors could not be heard IT
she was at any appreciable altitude
i'm the air.
