There was no announcement of the

An additional motive, said Mr..

The oil company is the outgrowth
of Mr.. Schock's fathers original

Mr.. Schock entered that at the age

"Any man with children" the
donor said in the announcement,

ing his property on to his children,
and under the law he can justify so
doing. However, if all adult male
children receive no inheritance what

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The British
tanker Donax reported in a message
picked up by Mackay Ratio today
that she was being chased by a
submarine" about $50 miles west of
Scotland. The vessel is an $685. ton
craft designed to carry petroleum in
bulk.
The position given is in the area
that has become the ship graveyard
of the Atlantic as the result of
scores of submarine attacks.
Although the Donax was last re-
ported in the maritime registry as
having sailed from New Orleans for
England July 8, it was presumed
she has been engaged since then in
carrying fuel to Britain.
Mackay also reported a message
from the United States steamer

suspicious vessel $50 built similar

small crafts, apparently submarines, -
about 900 miles off the west coast

Fire Was Scheduled
To Precede Invasion,
London Suggests
Regardless Of Whether
Hitler Had Such Plans,
Weather Prevents Attack!
By HELEN KIRKPATRICK.

DN HN1NNs
Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent,
LONDON, Dec. 31.-"The second
great fire of London" was to have
been the prelude to invasion, we'll
informed quarters in London sug-
gested last night.
Some attribute to the Nazis the
intention to blow London to bits
after they had set the city alight
in the biggest bonfire since 1866,
with the aid of the illumination,
and to follow 1t up today or to-
morrow with invasion.
Whether that was part of the
plan, it is obviously impossible to
say. but Adolf Hitler's former friend
and close adviser-the weather
prophet-served him badly. An in
creasingly thick cloud mist on the
continent prevented heavy Nazi
bombers from following in the foot
steps of the planes which fired vir-
tually every building in the neigh
borhood of ST. Pauls, Ludgate Cir
Gus and CheapSide.
AS every newspaper points out this
morning, the extent of the fires
could have been prevented if all
the buildings hal watchers on the
roofs. 1 myself saw incendiaries
fail on IA different roofs and within
a few moments the buildings were
alight; IN 10 minutes. bowling in
fernos. 1t was impossible from the
top of the buildings we were on to
do anything about it, but on the
roofs where there were watchers,
incendiaries we're quickly dealt with.
AS incendiaries lit the buildings
on the west end of Ludgate Circus
a brisk vino picked up the flames
and drove them right around the
cathedral until it was completely
ringed with flame. A basketful of
incendiaries which fell on ST. Brides

Hopson Convicted
Of Mail Fraud;
Attorneys Freed
Former Utility Head
Is Acquitted on
Conspiracy Charge
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 3l-HoWard c.
Hopson. ex-utilities titan. was con-
victed in Federal Court today of
mail fraud in the alleged defrauding
of the Associated Gas & Utilities
System of nearly S20O00,000.
The jury found him guilty on l8
mail fraud counts but acquitted him
of the single conspiracy count in the
indictment.
His CO = defendants, attorneys,
Charles M. Travis and Garrett A.
Brownback, were acquitted on all
counts.
Jury Deliberates IL Hours.
The Government charged that
Hopson defrauded the system by
padding bills, profiting on bond
deals through the buying and selling
of securities among the system s
many subsidiaries, and using the
systems money to settle stockhold-
ers' derivative suits against it, in
order to keep the alleged frauds
from the public.
The jury, which got the case
shortly before noon yesterday, re-
turned its verdict at l:06 pm. (E
S. t. today 1t had spent more than
IL of the Is hours in deliberation.
Hopson was expressionless as the
verdict was announced. He had SAT
! mute throughout the trial as the
Government tried to prove his finan-
cial dealings of the last 18 years
crossed the bounds of legality.
To Be Sentenced January 8.
Judge Alfred c. Coke set January
9 for sentencing. Hopson faces a
maximum sentence of IS years in
prison and a fine of $1,000.
Hopson was pictured by the Gov
ernment as a scheming financier
who, through the device Of holding
companies, turned other peoples
money to his own profit.
The defense characterized him as
tireless worker, an indefatigable
user of the telephone, a man who
was at his desk early in the day anc
left only when he could no longer
reach any one by telephone and q
man whose companies tottered wher
he was stricken ill and no longer able
personally to direct their vast rami-
f1cations.
Brownback and Travis, the Gov
ernment alleged, were the lega
minds who aided Hopson in hi:
dealings, although Hopson alway:
! had the final word.
