SEVEN YEARS SHRINKS

Seven years in prison. 1t seemed like
long stretch when ii was meted out to
Clarence NJ. Fuller and Raymond Mckee,
former officials of the Richfield Oil
company when they were sentenced for
grand theft, but it has shrunk terrifical-
ly, thanks to the operation of the Califor-
MIA parole board.
Seven years has become two years and
two months Fuller was convicted of
stealing S130,OOO from the company,
while Mckee was convicted on one count
involving theft of $4,000. With James
4. Talbot, another director, they were
charged with wrecking the Richfield
company by career of extreme eXtray-
agance in the management of its affairs.
Talbot was released on parole last
March.
At the completion of their abbreviated
'seven year" terms, Fuller and Mckee
will be ION parole" for two years and
seven months.
Stockholders of the company, who lost
heavily because of the actions of this trio,
will doubtless hail their early release
with jOy-in reverse English. The stock
holders, however, can do nothing about
it.
Technically the men were charged
with grand theft. Actually they were re-
sponsible for the loss of the savings of
numerous poor people, who had put their
money into the business and depended
upon Fuller, Mckee and Talbot to oper-
ate it in such way as would show
profit. There are few crimes more des-
picable, or more deserving of extreme
punishment than betraying the trust and
confidence extended by those of limited
financial means to others who are sup
posed to be outstanding businessmen and
who are looked up to as leaders.
In order to give all the details in this
latest transaction of the parole board, it
should be stated it has reserved a little
more punishment beyond that already
told, for Fuller and Mckee Their pa
roles were announced yesterday. How
ever, they will not be permitted to be in
terviewed until tomorrow. That's hand
ing it to them.

A. The front of his body.

A. No. He may have gone to

had the gun. At that time he
had it in his hand.
@. Who fired the first shot?
A. A shot came from my right
and left. Other shots came from
the rear of me.
@. Could you say that Roden
fired the first shot?
A. No I could not. The man
on the floor did not shoot first
after Senator Long was shot. I
think the man on the floor was
Murphy Roden. He did not draw
his gun until after he was trying

SEARS BOOSTS
PAPER ADS

Expenditures for newspaper ad-
vertising last year reached the
highest point in Sears Roebuck
and Company history, it became
known today when a report is
sued by G. w. Cunningham, gen
eral advertising manager, was re-
ceived by L. T. Conway, manager
for Sears in the District of Column
bia.
Prepared for and presented at
q series of advertising and sales
promotion meetings at which pre-
liminary plans for the company's
forty-ninth anniversary celebra-
ton, September 10 to October 5,
were laid, the report showed an
expenditure of $9,173.8 1872 in 1894
with ISL newspapers in the 43
States in which the company's
more than 400 detail stores are
located.
This was 24.3 per cent more
than was spent for newspaper ad-
vertising in 1888, the year of the
largest previous expenditure, Mr..
Cunningham'S statement said.
"The response gained from
increased newspaper advertiS-
ing appropriations last year
was particularly gratifying. Our
sales exceeded those Of 1888 by
IL per cent.
Consistent newspaper adver.
Using, we believe, has been one
of the most potent factors in
stimulating the return of bet
ter business. In practically
every State where there are
Sears stores more money was
spent with the newspapers last
year than in the peak year Of
1929"
