 E. Lindstrom was the brightest spot ln the Juneau lineup.

Advocating that congress should

Believe New York
May Contain Gas
In Underground

WAYNE. N. Y. Oct /. U.P)-The
whole Of Central New York state
may contain vast underground
pockets Of natural gas, in the opi-
Mon OF engineers drilling here.
In the Wayne field so wells are
now in operation, or are capped and
can be made producers. Pipe lines
are being extended to central and
western New York cities.
AT Penn Yam preparations are
being made for drilling test wells.
1t is believed the natural gas veins
found in Pennsylvania extend
through the entire Finger Lake reg
ion.
Residents of Sherwood, on Cayu-
ga Lake. have known for some time
that there was gas in the neigh
borhood. AS long as % years ago
drilling operations were begun in
search of oil A few of these pro-
duced a little gas; one or two
mere trickle of oil. and the rest salt
water. Promoters were discouraged.
Now, however, oil companies are
busy leasing land at 25 cents an
acre.
Leasing has been particularly ac-
tive along the shores of Skaneateles
Lake. Biologists are certain the
shale strata found there contains
oil as well as gas.

Men scrambled for the exits
as the officers entered, but none
escaped police said. Only those
actually engaged in gambling or
| possession OF liquor were taken
to central police station for
booking.
Several of the men were said to
be well known in the motion picture
colony. The women entertainers
were not arrested.
The liquor was discovered in tel
ephone booths from which wait
ers were dispensing it to some 400
men gathered at tables in the din
! ing room. Another $50 men were
watching roulette wheels whirl and
engaged in dice games in an adjoin-
ing room.
Among those booked for violation
of the gambling laws, were men
who gave their names as Robert c.
Vignola, film director; Gene Nor
gan, actor and vaudeville perform
er; and Irving Epstein, said to be
film executive.
A large proportion of those ar
rested gave fictitious names, bail
was fixed at $50 each, with the
prisoners ordered to appear in
court tomorrow afternoon.
| Lieut.. Hoy was informed that a
group of gamblers had secured the
use of the cafe and club rooms un-
der the guise that the affair was q
charity drive sponsored by the 233
club. Hollywood Masonic association.
Leroy johnson, president of
the 233 club, however, denied
that his organization was in
any way connected with the
group.
Officers had gained admit
tance to the stage by purchas-
ing tickets for $3.50 each, they
said Once inside. they guarded
exits and signalled for their
fellow officers to enter.
In the stampede which followed,
several made their way to the street
by sliding down ropes. One man,
whose name was not given, swung
through a plate-glass window just
as a radio patrol car drove up.
Throughout the night, the pri-
soners arrived at Central station in
groups of four and five. So NUM-
erous were the arrests that all avail
able squad cars were dispatched
from outlying precincts to ferry the
men TO jail
Although nearly 500 men were in
side the place, there was sufficient
| evidence to hold only 10 OF them,
police said. They were those actu-

men were permitted to leave the

cree of divorce from Ivan l.. Angle.

What attorney secured that final
decree for you?" thundered Defense
Attorney Leonard Wilson.
Attorney Joseph Ford Miss
Rohrback answered hesitatingly.
Ford is special prosecutor of Clark.
The attempt to impeach Miss
Rohrback as a witness was made
when she was asked TO recount her
testimony in the previous trial that
Charles Crawford. slain with Spen-
Ger. had a cigar in his hand when
he was shot.
The state contended that the
fact Crawford held the cigar
proved cOnclusively that the
politician had not attempted to
choke Clark. as the latter
claimed in his self defense
plea.
Miss Rohrback. who was in
an adjoining room when the
shooting took place, said She
thought she saw" Ray Radke.
CrawfOrds secretary take
cigar from Crawford's hand
and throw it on the porch.
She qualified her statement By
saying that she knew it was "some-
thing in Crawford's hand. and
when pressed for a definite answer
as to whether it was q cigar, she
declared:
Il know it was a cigar because I
saw a police officer pick it up and
put it in his hat"
The defense concentrated most of
its cross-examination upon the "ci-
gar story and inquiry into what
they termed the pressure and in
fluence of a guard on this wit
ness"
