EMPLOYEES OF
COUNTY PAID
BY WARRANTS

For the first time since July,
county employees received regist-
cred warrants this morning instead
of cash, or at least half of them
did.
When the treasurer's office OPEN
ed this morning the sum of $7700
was available in the salary fund
and paid out to the first comers,
the early risers getting their just
desserts for once, Late corners re-
ceived warrants, 20 being issued.
The monthly pay roll according to
w. D. Carey, county auditor, aver
ages $4,000 so that about one-half
the group received cash.
The shortage is due to the fact
that taxes for 1933-34 are just be-
ginning to come in and so for the
time being the warrants will be
issued until sufficient funds &C
cumulate to call them in. The
warrants bear interest and may be
kept, to be cashed in later, or will
be accepted by the banks who dis
count them one per cent.
All outstanding registered war
rants in the general fund have been
called in for payment by George
Varney, county treasurer, so that
the only warrants out are those
on the salary fund

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Reve-
lation of a Chase Harris Forbes COR
poraticn campaign in 1882 to induce
its customers to save few dollars
by avoiding income taxes brought
today from Alper; II. Wiggin a cas-
cade of figures showing that he and
his family paid millions into the
United States treasury from 1928
through 1882.
Evidence that the Chase bank S
securities affiliate had invited its
customers to accept tax avoidance
assistance startled the senate stock
market investigating committee and
perhaps Wiggin, as well.
Ferdinand Pecora, committee
counsel, turned Immediately to Wig
gins stock operations to determine
how much money he was making
during the tax period covered.
A list of his short sales of bank
stock beginning in September 1929
revealed the extent to which he had
anticipated the market crash of Oc-
tober 26. He dumped 1880 shares
of Chase Bank stock at 1920 share
-S4, ,452 ,056 on September %, 1929.
The next day he sold 500 shares for
S138,976. Sales were through the
Sherman corporation which had no
stock although the family owned
thousands of shares of the bank S
stock.
He continued to unload in thous-
and-share blocks and larger and
still was selling strongly on Octo-
ber 25, the day before the nations
speculative intoXication developed
its hangover.
Wiggin testified that the circuit

investigation Of Receiverships
By Senate Committee Takes
New Step.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. l. UP)-The
appraised value OF the Italo Petrol
cum Corporation of America has de-
clined more than S1,O0O,OOO under
his regime, Clay Carpenter, receiv-
er of the company, revealed to the
senatorial commission investigating
receiverships today
AT the opening of the hearing to-
day, attorney william H. Neblett,
counsel for the senatorial commit
tee, began line of questioning ap-
parently intended to show that the
Italo company had been operated at
loss by Carpenter and that re-
ceivership costs were excessive and
partly responsible Tor the red ink
on the company's books.
Carpenter admitted he had had
little experience in oil litigation be-
fore his appointment as receiver OF
the company on December 13, 1880.
Neblett then launched into an in
quiry purporting to show that Car
penter's management of the Italo
company had not been marked with
success despite praises given his ad-
ministration of the company's af-
fair by Judge William James yes
terday.
1t was revealed that when the
company went into receiverShip in
1880, the book value was listed at
SIS, ,652,398. Shortly after the receiv-
ership went into effect the ap-
praised value of the property was
set at S4,O09,955 while an audit in
September, 1881, listed a value of
$2,912,31656.
Blames Price Drop
Carpenter explained that in Feb
ruary and Marcl OF 1881, shortly
after he took over the management
of the company the price of crude
oil in the Los Angeles field drop
ped from $1.34 to about Is cents a
barrel.
During those two months, Car
penter testified, the loss of the COM
pany was $68, ,13848 per month.
Carpenter told the committee
that ON his appointment as receiv-
er of the Italo company he was
granted salary of $1,000 per
month. Later he said, this was
reduced to $3.50, where it has since
remained.
Neblett attempted to connect
Carpenter with Robert and John
McKeon but the witness denied any
connection with the McKeons or
the McKeon Oil Company.
John McKeon was one of 10 men
convicted in the "Italo Pete'' case
and sentenced to two years in
prison and fined $4,000.
