FILM COMEDIAN
HAS TROUBLES
OFF OF SCREEN

LOS ANGELES, April Is. W.H =
Some of the details of the love
life of Harry Langdon, motion pic
ture comedian, were made public
here today when the actor filed ans
wers in court to two attachments
filed against him for recovery of
notes given to avoid a $250,000
alienation Of affection suit.
The case centered around the CO.
median's present wife, the former
Helen Walton o 'Brien, who married
Langdon last July 81.
Langdon decalred that he was
forced to pay $4,000 and give two
promissory notes for $11 800 to avoid
the suit which Thomas j. O'Brien,
then the husband Of Mrs. Langdon,
threatened to start.
The comedian pleaded that he was
forced to give the money and notes
because he was under contract to
First National studio at the time
and feared that the unfavorabl
publicity would result in the loss
of his contarct.
When his attorney objected,
Langdon was not forced to answer
questions as to whether he gave Mrs.
C'Brien such things as diamonds
and an ermine coat.
Langdon was divorced by his first
wife in April, 1928, and married
Mrs. O'Brien when she and her hus-
band separated.

SEPARATE AIR
FORCE ENDORSED
BY ARMY'S CHIEF

MATHER F f L d, Sacramento,
April Is. W.H-Engaging in mimic
air battle more than three miles in
the air, the United States army air
corps today tested the value of high
altitude combat in case Of future
wars.
Every unit of the provisional
wing took part in these exercises,
from the small single seated pursuit
planes to the heavy bombers. Ope-
rating above $4,000 feet altitude,
the planes were at the ceiling or
maximum altitude permitted by the
air corps for its flyers without the
use of oxygen tanks.
The purpose of the missions was
to test the effectiveness of single
seated pursuit in an attack on bonn
bardment palnes while the later
were being supported by two seated
pursuit planes.
The army has no two seated pur-
suit ships, so in place of these its
tv o seated attack planes were used.
The little one seated pursuit planes
Lcrmit the operator to fire a ma
chine gun at his opponent only
through the propeller, which neces-
states maneuvering his plane until
it can be pointed direct at the OBJ
jCct of attack.
With double seated pursuit
plane, the observer or gunner in the
rear seat could operate his gun eff
fectively at several angles.
Declaring that the public is rap
idly being educated in the value of
acronautics in warfare, Brigadier
General William f. Gilmore, com
mander of the provisional wing, de-
clared that the United States must
at some time in the future recognize
the air corps as separate branch
of service, with its commanding per
sonncl of equal rank with that of
the army and navy.

Chamber Ready
To Aid Census

Difficulties experienced by
census enumerators working in
the city proved to be so great
that extra help had to be solicit
ed in order to impress upon the
minds Of certain people that
Uncle Sam means business In this
matter and is prepared to take
stern measures to attain his OBJ
ject.
At a meeting Of E. D. Hatch,
census supervisor for this dis
trict and the board Of directors
of the chamber Of commerce held
in the chamber offices last night,
it was decided that the necessary
assistance would be given to the
enumerators. The Indifference Of
many residents has made severe
action a necessity If other
means fail, the enumerators will
be accompanied by police Off
GERS, and calls will be made twice
a day If necessary.
It means great deal to the
city that this enumeration be
made as complete and authentic
as possible and for this reason
the local chamber of commerce
is more than anxious to extend
a helping hand in the matter.
A supply Of census blanks is
on hand at the chamber Of COM
merce headquarters. Those who
have not yet been enumerated are
asked to call at the office, where
they can fill eglt the blanks, placs
them in a sealed envelope, and
leave them for collection by the
enumerator. "Urge your neigh
Dor to fill out a blank If he has
not already done so,' is the
chamber suggestion.

SENSATIONS IN
JULIAN MIDDLE,
More Indictments Said
To Involve State OFF,

LOS ANGELES, April 15.-W.D
The collapse Of the $100,o0o,oOO
Julian Petroleum Corporation, for
three years an official, political and
public eyesore in Southern Califor.
mia, reached new sensational heights
today.
The grand jury, threatened with
dismissal at any moment, heard
testimony which District Attorney
Buron Fits promised would result
in indictments Of prominent poll.
ticians, former state officials and
prominent local brokers.
These indictments were expected
before nightfall.
The true bills, it was said, will
be based on the testimony Of j. II.
Roth, prominent broker, who as.
sertedly confessed to being party
to various rings which brought per,
mits for the sale of stock. Some
100000 changed hands during
these transactions, he alleged.
In his confession, it was learned,
Roth also supported previous evi.
dence that Julian officials paid
huge sums to the campaign funds
Of Governor c. c. Young in 1876.
Roth assertedly admitted sitting IL
on conference in which 100000
went from a Julian executive to
one Of Young's campaign managers.
Witness Killed
While District Attorney B Buro n
Fits was ushering witnesses, in
cluding C. c. Julian, promoter of the
notorious Julian company, before the

witness, was killed in an automobile

Fits Immediately scat :nvestiga.
tors to the scene to determine If
Bursian merely had missed turn in
tie road of if his machine was
forced from the highway.
The possible dismissal of the
grand jury, it was said, was based
on its action in supporting Fits in
his long drawn feud with Superior
Judge Marshall McComb.
The feud reached new high point
several days ago when the jurist
ordered the arrest of Jacob Berman
keywitness in the Julian cases, on
an old indictment which Fits want
ell taken off calendar.
Judge McComb set Berman's bal
at $25O,O00 and the appellate court
took under submission today Ber
man. g habeas corpus action in the
case.
Fits and the grand jury gave ou,
public statements severely criticiz
ing Judge McComb's action.
Julian was the first witness be
fore the grand Jury but he was fol
lowed shortly by both Roth and
others. Fits said Roth's testimony
was the most sensational and con
vincing that has been uncovered
since the Investigations were re-
newed.
The grand jury already has re-
turned in excess of 80 indictments
since Fits began presenting evi'

the prohibition service.
Prompt action by the President,
Hayden said, will prevent him from

Grandi i, Italian foreign minister,
Giuseppe Siriani, minister of ma
rinc, Admiral Alfredo Acton, their
secretaries and several minor Off
cials of the Italian delegation to
the naval conference, left London at
8 a. M. today for Rome
Grandi gave the Fasci. salute to
a great crowd at the station which
assembled to see the party off. Sew.
eral Of the minor officials Of the
French delegation were aboard the
same train.
LONDON, April Is. W.I)-An five
powers participating in the naval
conference have virtually agreed on
all points on the treaty which will
be signed next week, the American
spokesman announced today.
Agreement includes accord on the
contingent clause and the global
category transaction method, he
said.
The contingency clause provides
protection for the United States.
Britain and Japan against any large
building Of navies by another coun-
try, permitting them to increase
:heir navies if forced to do so by
competition of non-signatory ma
tion. The clause was especially de-
randed by Br:;ain, which desires to
maintain the two power standard
in Europe.
The transitional clause, first sug
gcsted by the French, provides the
method by which limitation Of ma
vies shall be achieved, if the five
powers reach an understanding for
limitation. 1t limits navies by class
es of ship, with the provision that
limited transfer may be made from
one category to another.
