JULIAN CASE
IS PUZZL|MG

SHANGHAI, April 25 (U.P)-C. c..
Julian, American oil promoter, was
under surveillance here today while
American authorities puzzled over
method of obtaining his arrest
as a fugitive from justice.
Julian's claims as Canadian
citizen hampered American Off
Gals who were expected to request
his detention shortly.
Should the promoter be placed
under formal arrest, difficulties
were foreseen in obtaining his ex-
tradition to Oklahoma City where
he jumped bond on the eve of his
scheduled trial last February 6 on
mail fraud charge. The charge
grew out of his promotion activities
of the c. C. Julian Oil and Royalties
company.
When located tonight, Julian
readily admitted his identity. He
was unable to answer questions of
interviewers, however. He appeared
exhausted.
The United Press learned that he
came to Shanghai month ago. He
registered at the Cathay hotel I'M
Ger the name of T. r. King of
Canada. He was accompanied by
friend from Portland, Ore, named
McEachran. McEachran did not
register at the hotel.
Since his arrival, Julian had been
mixing freely in the social life of
the city. The pace appeared to
have left its traces in a general
run down condition. This was be-
lieved to be one reason why he was
not promptly placed under arrest
after his identity had been estab-
,iished.
Until mis- presence in Shanghai
was learned today, Julian was last
reported in Canada.

Deny Acidosis
Caused By Acids

| WASHINGTON, April 25. UP
Two Yale university scientists to-
day refuted the currently growing
theory that excessive production of
acids in the human body leads to
the unhealthy condition known as
acidosis.
Acidosis is believed to have a di-
rect relation with many illnesses.
Yandell Henderson and Legion A.
Greenberg of Yale reported to the
American Academy of Science that
"The theory that acidosis is in
toxication by acid is definitely con-
tradicted by facts and some other
theory will have to II developed. "
A series of complicated and deli
cate experiments with the cosmic
rays, still largely a mystery to SCI
entists, we're described by Profess
sor r. A. Millikan, Carl D. Ander-
son, S. S. Bowen and H. v. Nehr
of the California Institute of Tech
nology, Pasadena.
The researchers were believed to
have revealed the existence of pos
tive free electronS among the cos
mic ray particles.

trial on murder charges in connec-

bombing.
Trial on a IT year old indictment
will start tomorrow BETH Superior
Judge Louis H. Ward.
Attorney Frank j. Walsh and as
sociates of the defense staff today
said they desire full exposition
of the evidence the state presented
at Moneys original trial when he
and Warren K. Billings were con-
victed and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment. BY this means they
hope to secure an acquittal and ul-
innate pardon for Mooney, they
said.
District Attorney Matthew Brady
has declined to prepare a vigorous
case, holding the new trial would
fail of conviction and furthermore
would be fruitless insofar as it
would affect Moneys legal status.
So far as could be learned, his as
sistant, William Murphy, in charge
of the case, has not revived any ev-
idence to present at the trial.
Judge Ward meantime did not
disclose when Mooney would be
transferred from San Quentin to
city prison here.
"No order for the appearance
of the defendant will be signed I'M
