TOLEDO, Ohio, June 28.-Eight men,
including the presidents of four Middle
Western Joint stock land banks and
their associates, were released from
charges of using the mails to defraud
investors when Federal Judge John M.
Killits quashed indictments against them
on technical grounds late yesterday.
The Government charged that indi-
viduals and concerns interested in farm
companies lost nearly $5,000,000 as a
result of the banking operations.
Those relieved of the charges are: Guy
Huston. president Of the Chicago Joint
Stock Land Bank; Walter Cravens,
president of the Kansas City Joint
Stock Land Bank; Harold A.. Smith,
president of the Southern Minnesota
Joint Stock Land Bank; Oran F. Schee,
president of the Des MoineS Joint Stock
Land Bank; John l.. BoyleS. Vernon V.
Sigler, John E. Huston and Glen w.
Gold.
The indictments. which were returned
here last June, were irregular, Judge
Killits ruled because Sylvester Rush,
special Government counsel, had not
received specific authorization from the
Attorney General to handle the grand
jury proceedings.
Nothing could be learned from Gov
eminent counsel here as to whether
new indictments would be sought. The
case conferred here when Guy Huston

HUGE FIRE FACED
BY-F|LM WORKERS
Grass and Brush Blaze
Sweeps Thousands of Acres
at Hollywood.
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, June IA
carelessly tossed cigarette or lighted
match, finder, dry brush and a brisk
wind constituted the combination which
brought almost a thousand film workers
into the real drama of fire fighting here
yesterday.
The film forces were called upon to
save the huge plant of the First Ma
tional studios at North Hollywood from
a grass and brush fire which swept
1000 acres of the nearby hills. To a
lesser extent fears were felt for the
safety of the Universal Pictures Studio
at Universal City.
Although the motion picture people
and organized fire fighters who we're
rushed to the battle, which extended
over a three-mile front, hacked away
brush and played streams of water on
the lower buildings of the First Ma
tional movie plant, 1t was shift of the
wind that brought victory. The change
in the wind turned the flames back
against the burned area and the fire
was brought under control.
Feature players joined laborers in the
battle with the brush fire. Richard Bar
