FORMER JULIAN
OIL COMPANY IS
LOSING HEAVILY

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 80. U.P)-
The Sunset-Pacific Oil Company
successor to the defunct Julian Pc
troleum Corporation. registered a
net loss of 81 1855 1868 from jan
uary l to November 80, 1880, Fl. l..
Carnahan, president, revealed to
stockholders at their annual meet
ing today.
Carnahan pointed out that It had
been necessary to default interest
on the companys bonds July l,
1880, and thai, as a result, the
bondholders could demand that the
company properties be sold for
payment of the bonds.
The tremendous interest on the
S10,000,000 in bonds and on between
S3000,000 and S4,00O,00O in other
Indebtedness was held responsible
by Carnahan for the losses of the
company.
The bondholders are the Associa-
ted Oil Company and the First Sc
curities Company. They could. if
they desired, demand that the Title
Insurance and -1ust Company, as
trustee under indenture for the
bonds, forclose or advertise and sell
the company properties for pay
ment, Carnahan said.

new HOME FOR
GOVERNOR NOT
REALLY NEEDED

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 80.
W.R)-Governor Young's adminis-
tration has handed or to Governor
elect Rolph the problem of deter
ming whether the governor needs a
new mansion, according to a report
on this subject ready today for
transmission to the legislature when
1t conveneS next Monday.
Lyman M. King, and Bert B.
Meek, directors of finance and
public works under Governor
Young, have concluded their study
of the question, ordered by the last
legislature.
THE present mansion, while an
cid building, is of remarkably fine
construction, in excellent repair,
and far from having lost it's useful
ness" their report said. Perhaps,
ii the objection to it lies in the fact
that the neighborhood is not as de-
sirable as formerly, it may be found
comparatively inexpensive to clean
up that section of the city, posi-
bly, acquiring more ground which
can be parked, and thus render the
present mansion altogether salts
factory
Sites located too far from the
capitol were declared undesirable
for a new mansion by the makers
of the report.

MYSTERY Wells
SUDDEN DEATH
OF HOOVER AIDE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. UH--
The mystery surrounding the death
of Lieutenant Bruce Settle, naval
aid to President Hoover, remained
unsolved today.
Pending announcement OF the
result OF an autopsy being perform
ed at the naval hospital. navy au-
thorities refused 10 give out any
statement.
Lieut.. Settle, who was head of the
interior communication school Of
the navy department, was found
bruised and unconscious on the
floor of the school near his desk
yesterday. He died before he could
De removed to the dispensary.
Two theories were being studied
by the naval inquest board appoint
ed Immediately after Settles death.
One was that he had committed
suicide. The other was that he had
fallen from the mezzanine in the
school, 10 feet above the floor level.
The suicide theory was discount
ed by authorities. Officers at the
navy yard said he was in excellent
health and apparently in good spir-
its The belief that he fell over
the mezzanine guard rail gained
credence today, but what could
have caused him to fall was still
a mystery after several hours de-
liberation by the inquest board.

EXTRA SESSION
LIKELY TO BE
CAUSE OF ROW

WASHINGTON, Dec. 80. 0JP)-
Insurgent Republicans exten d d
their dispute today to the advisa-
bility of special session of con-
gresS after March q.
But just around the congression-
al corner is potentially more dyn-
annie issued than all that has gone
before. 1t is prohibition upon which
the Wickersham commission now is
scheduled to report publicly Janu-
ary 5, the day after congress re-
conveneS.
That prospect fits snugly into
plans for senators interested in an
extra session but loathe to become
filibustererS against appropriation
bills. The submission of so import
ant a document as the Wickersham
report on so controverted an issue
as prohibition must excite debate
and time is becoming extremely
valuable in the senate. None of the
appropriation bills have been
passed
That is why Majority Leader
Watson hopes members will forego
speeches on eXtraneous matters
and confine themselves to the i'm
mediate problems confronting u.s."
Watson believes no emergency
justifying a special session will de-
velop by March if senators fol-
low this advice.

DEMURRER FILED
FOR DEFENDANT
IN BOMB CASE
MCoy's Attorney States
Indictment Against Ac-
cused Is Faulty.

Taking the first step IN what may
develop into a bitter legal battle for
freedom of E. T. Mccoy, A. L.
Hodges, and Anthony D. Patton, the
separate demurrer of Mccoy to the
indictment returned recently by the
county grand jury was filed yester-
day afternoon.
Mccoy is represented by Kendall
B. Perkins, judge of the FL Centre
police court, who was appointed by
Judge A. c. Finney as his attorney.
The defendant demurred to the
murder indictment on the grounds
that it does not conform with sec
tions $50, 951 and 952 of the Cali
fornia Penal Code, that its language
is unintelligible to person Of COM
mon understanding, and that it can
not be ascertained from the indict-
ment in what part of Imperial
county the alleged offenSe took
place.
In one clause of the demurrer it
is claimed that the indictment is
uncertain and indefinite in that the
statement of facts claimed to con-
stitute an offense is not set forth
in ordinary language or in such a
manner as to enable the defendant
or a person of common understand
ing. to know what is intended rela :
tive to the defendant, E. T. Mccoy
and that it cannot be ascertained
from the indictment whether Nc
Coy is charged with express malice
or implied malice, or with murder in
the first degree, second degree or
manslaughter.
The demurrer further stated that
it cannot be ascertained from the
complaint whether Mccoy is charged
with the offense because of actual
participation or lesser connection.
Mccoy also demurred on the
grounds that the indictment does
not state where, in the county OF
Imperial, the alleged offense took
place, or whether Mccoy committed
any act in the county Of Imperial
in connection with the crime.

Hoover FavOrs
Rail Merger

WASHINGTON. Dec. 80. U.P)-
Consolidation plans OF four eastern
railroads, worked out in New York
yesterday, not only have the hearty
approval of President Hoover but
also he was the moving force behind
them, the United Press learned to-
day.
Mr.. Hoover has been fully in
formed of the proposals and the ne
gotiations leading up to the consol-
dation program. Yesterday after
noon, while railroad men were meet
ing in New York, a representative
of the road was in conference with
Mr. Hoover and advised him OF de-
tails of the negotiations.
Today, Senator Couzens, Republi-
can of Michigan, who has legislation
pending in the Senate postponing
all railroad consultations for one
year, called at the White House and
discussed the proposed mergers with
the President.
II consider this something very
important" was Couzens' comment
as he left the White House. He said
it undoubtedly would affect his
proposed legislation on the consol-
idation program
The President felt that the work
ing out of a reorganization OF the
eastern rail systems was necessary
to stabilization of the railroad sit
uation at this time.

RESPONSIBLE In
BEESEMYER CASE

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 80. U.P)-
Directors of the Guaranty Building
& Loan Association, which was
wrecked to the extent of S7,661 .693 81
by Gilbert H. Beesemyer, were freed
from personal liability to creditors
through a decision of Superior

creditor against directors OF the as
sociation to recover on behalf OF
himself and other depositors, the
sum which Beesemyer confessed to
taking. Beesemyer is under sentence
of from 10 to 100 years for grand
theft.
Originally, directors OF a building
and loan association were held re-
sponsible by law for losses sustained
through embezzlement, but Judge
Yankwich ruled that this rule had
been repealed at the last general
election.
Repayment Of creditors and in
vestors will be carried out under
federal receivership, of which Alex
ander N Kemp is receiver in equity.
Two concerns in which Beesenyer
was a director filed involuntary
bankruptcy petitions in federal court
