SEEK SWINDLERS
FOR HUGE BOND
ISSUE FORGERIES

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10. U.P)-
Arrest of two swindlers. was thought
near today as police revealed for
the first time the presence of bogus
street improvement bonds of the
city of Compton.
At least $5,000000 worth of spur
ious bonds have been printed, De-
tective Lieutenants Bligh and Arm
strong revealed, and possibly $780,
600, were sold.
The known bogus bonds which
unsuspecting investors have pur-
chased purport TO be a $4,000 issue
voted by Compton in 1924
The men sought are B. r. Will
liams, alias Paul Elgin. and q
young man known only as Allen,
Williams, they said, operated a
"Pan-American Finance company
here for six months and dropped
from sight. numbering among his
victims a prominent Los Angeles
physician and B. w. Stroud, re-
tired Toledo traction magnate.
Stroud. they said. purchased Sl0,-
600 worth of the bogus Compton
street bond issue after Williams"
had taken him to that town and
had City Treasurer Hedrick point
out to them on the map the street
named in the bonds.
Later 1t was learned that He'd
rick himself had unwittingly re-
deemed $3.50 worth of spurious op-
tions sold to Stroud.
The latest intended victim was
Thomas Thompson who declared
he had been approached by Allen"
and offered Compton street bonds
in exchange for California reserve
certificates, the officers said.
The bonds were declared to be
almost beyond detection as counter
feitS. The fact that the sigma
lures of Hedrick and Mauda He
cock. city clerk, were made with
rubber stamp gave away the
fraud.

said. and at the point Of a gun
forced to sign checks never for less
than a thousand dollars"
The three were held in sep
arate cells. Officers said they
hoped to learn from young Roll

the youths brother.
Failure of Bob Goldie, pawn

ure In the gambling fraternity,
to shed any light on the where

police to launch a nationwide
search for the man.
Goldie was called for questioning
by District Attorney Buron Fits
when the former said he had ac-
companied Bergin TO the Alamac
hotel in New York in 1926 when the
manufacturer lost heavily during a
three-day crap session.
The last time I saw Rollins was

The cabinet, however, decided
on a mon n-aggravatiOn" policy,
and all Japanese reinforcementc

were halted at the border, with
the exception Of aviation units.
The foreign office dispatched S.
Morishima to Mukden to convey the

the japanese consul general there.
1t was understood the foreign Of
flee would insist that the occupied
areas in several Chinese cities,
taken over by japanese troops in
the past 48 hours during the flare
up, be evacuated Immediately.
Firm Policy
The Nippon Dempo News service.
however, understood that the war
office was insisting on a most firm
attitude in Manchuria and o. con-
tinuation of the new occupation of
various strategic Chinese military
posts until the Manchurian and
Mongolian problems have been set
tied satisfactorily.
Chang Hsueh-Liang, Manchurian
leader, in an interview today, said
that he had disarmed his troops at
North Camp, Mukden, several days
ago, suspecting the japanese in
tended to provoke an incident. Sub
sequently the Japanese attacked
unarmed men, he claimed
Provoked Incident
II was definitely informed that
the japanese themselves destroyed
the railroad. which was used as
pretext for the occupation" he said.
The Manchurian war lord said the
Japanese were unjustified in using
the Nakamura case as pretext for
occupation before an investigation
had been completed.
II am certain that foreign con-
Suls at Mukden can be relied upon
to report to their government who
was the aggresSor, he said.
A communique today said the
japanese gunfire had killed numer-
Gus Chinese in New-Chwang and
Chang Chun.

Prepared for Lives"
DR.. Jordan prepared for his
three lives" at Cornell University,
Indiana Medical College and But
Ter University. He studied almost
his entire life and was honored by
many universities.
In his career as an educator he
served on the faculties of various
eastern and midwestern schools
before he became president of
Stanford on the recommendation
of President Eliot of Harvard.
He remained as president Of
Stanford from 1881 until 1913.
From 1918 to 1916 ne was chancel-
lor and from 1916 until his death
was president emeritus.
He early introduced the elective
system at Stanford.
One of the things that contrib
uted to his popularity on the CAM
pus was his liking for a joke,
whether the joke was on another
or on himself.
Joke on Freshman
Once while he was president of
the university he received tele-
gram from an incoming freshman
who asked DR.. Jordan TO meet him
al the train.
Dr.. Jordan showed the telegram
III appropriate places and the new
arrival was met by 200 wildly
cheering students who escorted the
freshman TO the cam
pus.
The educator loved to play base
ball and until he was So he took
part in impromptu games and con-
tests at commencement. 1t was
often said humorously in the early
days at Stanford that only base
ball players could get positions Oh
the faculty.
Peace Advocate
In his life as peace advocate he
served from 1910 to 1914 as chief
OF the World Peace foun-
dation. In 1915 he was president
of the World Peace conference.
He held office also in the Amer
lean Peace society
He was asked to sail on Henry
Ford's peace ship in 1915 but he
declined. He said he felt the Ford
venture was not practical.
Although he wrote and spoke
against war, Dr. Jor-
dan was one of the first to sup
port President Wilson'S aggressive
program once the United States
entered the World War.
DR.. Jordan really predicted such
a war as the World War in a book
written in 1902 and titled The
Blood Of Nations" He suggested
such q conflagration was certain
sooner or later.
Herman Award
One Of the last honors he won
as fighter for peace was the
Raphael Herman award of S25,000
in 1925 for the best plan to de-
yelop international justice and
Dr.. Jordans own speciality was
ichthyology-the study Of fish. He
was considered one of America s
greatest authorities.
He wrote numerous volumes on
fish and for a time served as as
sistant to the United States Fish
He was director of
fisheries from 1903 TO 1910.
MANY honorary degrees were con-
ferred upon him all over the world
in recognition of his contributions
TO science.
His interests were varied, how.
ever, and in addition 10 works OF
science, education and peace he
wrote poetry, stories for children
books on spelling reform, eugen-
les and dozen other subjects. He
also wrote an autobiographlcal
work, THE Days of Man"
Mark Twain's Friend
DR.. Jordan was a close friend CT
Mark Twain and he was always
fond Of telling how Mark fooled
the mosquitoes in Honolulu.
''The mosquitoes were terrible
there them DR.. Jordan would tell,
but Mark fooled Them. He crawleu
under the mosquito-net and then
when all the mosquitoes got in he
