Mine WORKERS
HELD CAPTIVE
BY PICKETERS

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 2o.
UlP)-Seventeen night shift workers
we're trapped in the Dixie Bee coal
mine near here today when more
than 1000 union pickets converged
on the shaft.
Nearly 100 day shift workers
we're turned back by the pickets.
Sheriff Joe Drehey and 10 depu-
ties hastened toward the mine when
a telephone message to the county
building revealed the captive min
ers' plight.
Terre Haute residents were awak-
ened this morning as automobile
and truck loads of picketers passed
toward the Dixie Bee mine, eight
miles south of here. One man said
he counted % cars loaded with men.
Todays disorder came as Gov.
Harry G. Leslie at Indianapolis
was launching another attempt to
settle the strife that has beset west
.ern Indiana coal fields for nearly
three months.
The governor had telegraphed
officers of District No. IL, United
Mine Workers of America, and Of
ficials OF the Indiana Coal Oper-
ators association to meet with him
in indianapolis today.
The conference was expected to
consider the affair week ago at
the Hoosier mine at Dugger, Ind,
where union pickets held 27 coop
erative miners captive 40 hours.
Three companies of national guards
men were sent to the scene and
besieged men were not freed until
a truce had been effected with the
pickets.
A fede5al restraining order
against picketing of the Dixie Bee
mine was issued more than a year
ago after several outbreaks. 1t "
believed to be the only deep shaft
mine in operation in the state.

RICHFIELD OIL
COMP ANY BOUGHT
BY CONSOLIDATED
One,-Time Leader In In
dustry Purchased For
Small Price.

LOS ANGELES, July %. dip
The dramatic history of the Rich
field Oil company of California,
one-time $200000,000 corporation,
entered new chapter today with
acceptance of an offer by the Con-
solidated Oil company to purchase
its assets for cash equivalent of
$22,862, 900.
The offer was approved by a
committee representing Richfield
bond holders. Individual security
holders have the right to dissent,
and the offer of the Sinclair-con-
trolled company included provision
of $5,000000 to satisfy their claims.
Consummation of the deal, sub
ject to there being sufficient as
senters to the reorganization, will
bring the once powerful company
out of the hands of a federal re-
ceiver in equity who has been in
control since its collapse.
1t was understood that Console
dated plans to operate Richfield
as an independent subsidiary.
From an insignificant indepen-
dent company, Richfield doomed to
a position among the major" COM
panies in its home state, and sub
sidiaries entered other fields. Then
followed its sudden collapse, cli-
NAKED by conviction of three of its
former officials on charges of grand
theft. Spectacular and assertedly
criminal use of Richfield money
was charged to them.
Common stockholders who once
valued their shares at $40 and saw
the price dWindle to practically
nothing were given little hope of
realizing anything for their paper
under the reorganization, since the
deal calls for a sale of mortgaged
assets and a settlement of claims
of unsecured creditors.
Standard Also Bid
The Standard Oil company of
California also was a bidder for the
Richfield assets. Acceptance of
the Consolidated offer was an
nounced two hours before STAN
dard's offer expired.
A complete program viii be
drawn up by recognizing COM
mittee for submission to all bond
holders. There are approximately
$25, 100000 of Richfield bonds, Sl0,-
100000 of Pan-American bonds Ga
subsidiary and $25,0OO,000 of un-
secured creditors claims outstand-
ing.
The reorganizing committee is
composed of R. C. Adams OF New
York, Alex Macdonald and Jeffer-
son Chandler, all representing va
rious Richfield creditors. Harry F.
Sinclair, chairman of the board OF
the purchasing company, will ar
rive here Friday.
The accepted offer was for Sl7,--
100000 Consolidated Oil 6 per cent
15-year debentures, 100000 shares
of Consolidated common stock, ST.
100000 cash and $500,000 for pro-
tective committees expenses. 1t
also included S5,O00,00O to pay dis
senters to the plan.
Although fluctuating slightly
with the market price of Consoli-
dated common, the offer at the
time of it's submission was the
equivalent of $22, ,862,0 900 cash.

GIRL ASSERTS
ACCUSED YOUTH
PLANNED ALBI

SAN JOSE, Calf, July %. W.P)-
A pretty blonde girl, who admitted
she was in love with him, today
substantiated the confession of
George D. Templeton, Jr., 20-year-
old University of California student,
that he killed his aunt and critical
ly wounded his uncle.
Miss Claire Burnette, %, told
Sheriff William Emig the youth
had planned to tell officers that he
was at her apartment in Oakland
the night his aunt, Mrs. Lillian
Babcock, Manila society woman,
was slashed to death with butch
er knife.
A few hours after Mrs. Babcock
was slain and her husband, w
Rider Babcock, wealthy Manila i'm
porter, was seriously stabbed in the
Los Altos home where they were
visiting, the girl said Templeton
visited her and declared:
"You are to be my alibi. I've
told everyone I was in your apart
ment Tuesday night while I was
in Los Altos. You've got to stand
by me-"
Before the scholarly "model stu
dent" could test the love of his
attractive friend, however, he had
calmly confessed to Sheriff Emig
that he staged the brutal crime in
the home that his mother, who is
Babcock's sister, might collect his
victims insurance.
Unmoved by the murder charge
which authorities expected to file
against him today, the popular uni
versity student, calmly met his dis
traught parents in the Jail here.
He alone appeared at ease during
the short meeting.
His father, Major George D. Tenn
pleton, retired army officer and
former partner in the firm of Bab-
cock and Templeton, said his sons
defense probably would be based on
a plea of mental ALTERATION.
