 Indictment of Frank c. Oxman, Durkee, Ore, cattleman and one of the states principal witnesses, on charge of attempted suborna- tion of perjury influenced Superior Judge Franklin A. Griffin. who pre- sided at the trial, to join the move ment to free the two prisoners.
 Oxman was charged with having attempted to get witness to give false testimony in the hopes of col lecting a $17000 reward offered for the arrest and conviction of the bombers.

CHIDESTER WILL BE
 SENT TO KETCHIKAN

T. L. Chidester, Federal Pro- hibition Agent with headquarters in this city and formerly in charge of the Alaska unit, has been trans ferred to Ketchikan, according to an announcement made today. The change is effective November 15, and he and Mrs Chidester will move to Ketchikan in the near future.
 Agent Fred Handy has been sta- toned at Ketchikan for several years. Last summer when Admin istrator Roy Lyle was on an of- ficial visit here, he announced that Handy would be moved to Fair banks. The transfer of MT. Chid- ester to Ketchikan may be the first step in sending MT. Handy to the Interior. This could not be ascertained today, however, as De- putty Administrator Gerald Church was cue of the city.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 25.-With the directness which has character ized his regime, Gov. c. c. Young has gone behind the scenes for a closeup view of the Mooney-Bil- lings drama.
 The government seeks to decide whether the principal actors were the assassins they were portrayed, or all these years have been mar tyrs to grevious conspiracy.
 The California executive is the third governor to whom these men, convicted of bombing that killed 10 persons and maimed 40, have ap- pealed for a full pardon. A par don would in effect carry exonera- tion and the "vindication" for which clamor, international in scope, has persisted for 13 years.
 Brushing aside the musty records Governor Young is interviewing dozens of men who played parts in the prosecution or defense of the

 This was the planting of a suit case of explosives at the corner of Stewart and Market streets, San Francisco, and setting it off as a Preparedness day parade was pass ing July g, 1916.
 Tom Mooney, radical labor lead CT, drew a death sentence and War ren K. Billings, youthful shoe clerk, was ordered to prison for life. Gov ernor Stephens commuted Moneys sentence to life.
 The trial was vitriolic and spir- tied, with ramifications extending from Moscow to Washington.
 Eventually, against the charges that bolshevik influences supported the defendants in their alleged blow against "militarism in America" :" was laid the formal report of John B. Densmore, director general of employment for the United States, to the secretary of labor, William

CANNES, France, Oct. 25.-Ca- sinos along the French Riviera have lost so many of their professional "come-ons" by death or matrimony within 12 months, that a general call for recruits has gone out. The job may be had by those who know cards, clothes and interna- tional society, who have a flair for publicity and who can stay at the gaming tables all night for week after week.
 It is no soft job. The good "come-on" player is judged by re- suits. He, or mostly always she, is forced to work hard. The main idea is to gamble with the casinos money when, and with whom, the director decides. Winnings go back to the casino. Losses, but not too many of them, are paid by the casino. In return the player re- ceives a weekly salary, lives free at the best hotels, has charge ac- count paid by the casino at the most important bars and restaur- ants, and often has a motor car placed at his disposal
 The job has no working hours. A short while ago one of the most noted 'come-ons" was aroused by a telephone call at two in the morning. She was told to report within 30 minutes, collect 100000

 There were 36,000 rifles and car- pines, 18,000,000 cartridges, 500oO bayonets and some odds and ends. Although the ministry considered the munitions too old for service, the guns would shoot. So it was provided, that unless broken up for the metal, the rifles must be ex- ported.

ADJOURNMENT IS TAKEN IN
 PR|NCLE CASE
Illness of Juror Interrupts Pantages's Trial in
 Los Angeles
TESTIMONY IS ALL IN;
 ARGUMENTS BEGUN
Judge Expects Case Will Be Given to Jury Before
 This Evening

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 25,-- As the trial of Alexander Pan- tages neared the end, there was an upset for the second time by the illness of Mrs. Lotta Steiner, juror which forced an adjourn ment yesterday until today.
 Testimony taking was completed during the forenoon session, yes terday and Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robert Stewart plunged into the States first closing argu- ment. He was followed by Jerry Geisler with the opening of the summation of the defense. Joseph Ford continued the defense argu- ment F.
 Ford's plea for acquittal of Pantages was interrupted by Mrs. Steiner's request for a halt. She said she would be relieved by a nights rest.
 Judge Charles Fricke expects ar guments to be completed and the case sent to the jury before to- night
 Demands Prison Sentence ' Assistant Prosecutor Stewart de- manded verdict carrying State prison sentence. Under the law the jury is required to set a sem tence- in the verdict and it may be one year in the County Jail or from one to 50 years in prison.
 Attorney Geisler bounced on the States testimony and attacked Miss Pringle's testimony for tits all too apparent of inconsistencies. Where were her hands when she alleged she was fighting Pantages? The defendant is shown by evidence not to have suffered single scratch. What is the answer?"

FRENCH CASINOS SEEK
 NEW "COME-ONS'' STAFF

francs at the cashiers desk and join the play at table No. 4. When she arrived she discovered that the table was occupied by a chemin- defer duel between two wealthy New Workers. Her job was to make the game lively and thus keep the two players at the green table and donating the five percent rake off to the house at the intervals stated by the gambling law. At nine in the morning the two men took her to breakfast and told her how sorry they were that she had lost 15,000 francs. They never knew that she received bonus for keeping them at the table.
 The best 'come-on" players are no social pikers. Among them is a well-known woman tennis player, the younger son of one of Eng lands noblest families, an interna- tionally known dancer and a gen. tleman whose name is prominent in the New York social register. Some of them take their work as a joke but the majority consider it a definite vocation.
 One of the most valuable is a woman who has not touched a card since the war. She earns her money by bringing her dime r guests to the casino. Probably some of the wiser guests suspect that she gets rakeoff somewhere but those things are not mentioned in polite society,

RECOMMENDS THAT
 MERCY BE SHOWN
First Criminal Action Won by Government Tn
 Oil Scandals


 WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, has been found guilty of accepting a $1OO,OoO bribe from E. L. Doheny for lease of the Elk Hills, California, Naval Oil Re- serve.
 The jury recommended to the Court that the former Secretary of Interior be shown mercy.
 Eight men and four women com posed the jury which convicted the 68-year-old man, now broken in health, of His guilt in this con- nection while serving as Secretary in Harding's Cabinet.
 The verdict was handed down nearly eight years after Fall re- ceived the money from Doheny, a friend of prospecting days when they were in the West when young.
 The case is the first criminal action won by the Government in those growing out of the cele- brated Senate oil investigation.
 The Government recovered the leases but Fall was branded by the Supreme Court as a "faithless public servant"
 Fall is the first person connected with leases to be convicted.
 As the verdict was rendered, Fall slumped back in his chair. Mrs. Fall and her daughter, Mrs. 0. c. Chase, leaned forward in their seats and wept.
