C. c. Julian, one-time millionaire oil
promoter. under fraud charges in the
United States, killed himself early to-
day with poison taken during a gilt
tering dinner party with a woman
companion in the Astor House Hotel
here.
The woman, secretary and conf
dant Of the former Oklahoma and
California operator, identified as Le-
onora Levy. also attempted to kill
herself. She is still alive and physi-
clans said she will recover.
Julian, who was about 40. ap-
peared to have been actuated by
financial trouble.
With his companion, Julian was
finishing an elaborate dinner. Ex-
cusing himself soon after midnight.
Julian went to room which he had
engaged and took a heavy dose Of
poison, losing consciousness a few
moments later.

While doctors worked on Julian,
Miss Levy remained outside his hos

The Levy girls brother charged
that Julian had been borrowing funds
from Chinese whom he promised to

100000 was used by Cities Service
Security Co. in a three-year period to
keep the market for the stock active
was given to the House Commerce
Committee yesterday by Robert E
Healy, counsel for the Federal Trade
Commission.
Healy said that during that period
the company sold $l.l00,00000 of
securities and that only $50, 1000. 900
of this went into new capital. the
balance being used to keep the stock
active on the New York curb so as to

price.
The Trade Commission official said
Henry L. Doherty. the utility magnate.
had made a personal profit of $l9,-

company. The testimony was given
during hearings on the new Stock EX-

said, the need for such regulation as
would prohibit similar practices.
Sought to Keep Up Prices.
Healy said Cities Service bought its
securities that were offered for sale
on the New York curb market and
sold stocks in a house toulouse cam
paign through force of 600 salesmen.
He added that the insult interests
and other utility concerns had bought
their own stocks similarly through
exchanges to keep up prices to mis-
lead the public
Healy presented letter he said was
written in November, 1880, by Harvey
T. Hill, executive vice president Of
the Chicago Stock Exchange, to show
the exchanges were familiar with the

PARTIES launch.
FINAL DRIVE IN
MONTGOMERY
BY LOUIS E. WHYTE

BY LOUIS E. WHITE
With virtually all mechanical
preparations completed for the
election next month, the Fusion
and Democratic parties in Mont
gomery county are set to launch
their big drives to win the po-
tential $4,000 floating" votes in
the area.
These $4,000 votes would be
enough to win the election for
either side, since the total regis.
tration is slightly more than
$4,000. and the outcome will de-
pend on the split in this float
ing" vote.
The Democrats have a nucleus
of 6,832 sure supporters, since
there were that many who voted
for Governor Richie in the
Democratic primary.
Floaters May Decide
The Fusionists feel that they
are assured of 6,79L votes, since
there were approximately 5000
Republicans who voted in the pri-
mary and 1871 who cast ballots
for Governor Ritchie's opponent
in the Democratic primary. The
Fusionists feel that the DelnO-
cratic votes cast against Cover
nor Richie are all anti-adminis-
tration ballots which surely can
be counted on to support the
Fusionist movement. They also
expect solid Republican support,
since the Fusion organization was
an amalgamation of Republicans
and anti-administration De. no
Gratis.
This gives total of 1893 who
idicated their position in the pri'
mary, and parties claims of their
portions of this total are almost
equal. Since there are slightly
more than $4,000 voters regis
tered, this leaves a potential
floating" vote of about $4,000.
Rallies Scheduled
Both parties are counting
heavily on meetings today and
tomorrow.
The Fusionists hope to win a
huge bloc of votes at their rally
tonight to be attended by all can
didates. It will be held at the fire
house hall in Takoma Park at 8
p. m. Among the speakers will be
Joseph A. Cantrel, Millward C.
Taft and James Cunningham Rog'
