PAID $75,000 BY OIL FIRMS WASHINGTON, March 20.—Dig- sing into the Standard Ol! tax case, the special senate committee inves- tigating the internal revenue bureau turned up some thrills of its own today when it cross examined E.

OWEN (Copyright, 1924 Casper Tribune) SACRAMENTO, Cal., March 20.— Is it really a woman's crime wave with which we must contend? For quite a while police chiefs thruout the country have been contending that feminity was trespassing on the fields of the hardened male criminal banditry, burglary, bad check pas. sing, automobile stealing, rum rur ning, narcotic vending and even murder. | Assertions that the fair sex would| urn to such violent and unfeminine| | things however, has beep faken with | the proverbial grain of salt. There might be an exception here and there has been the grudging male theory, but for women to actually seek a plane of equality with yegs: strong arm men and second story workers—never! Now comes the bureau of criminal Sdentification of fornia which keeps a close tab on criminality of all kinds in the gold en state and proves that the police chiefs are right—at least in Califor- | nia This state, which is supposed to average about the same number of crimes during the course of the year as any other state of similar populs nm arrested and prosecuted 844 wo- for alleged felonies during the ; just ended.

The bal: ce ran the gamut of grand lar- ‘0 pocket pickin: we nd it nen the stata of Call-|s | ment Like many feminine law breakers of other states, Caiifornia women not only have essayed banditry, bur- glary, but they also are found to crimes, but they also are found to have developed a “hard boiled” front that makes them, exceedingly dif- ficult for the police to handle. In fact, fhe authorities who have had to co with them declare it is next to impossible to get admissions of any kind from them. A typical case of this kind was recently had in Sah Francisco. When police arrested the wife of a member of an alleged ba! dit ring which had terrorized al- most every city in the state, more than $200,000 worth of gems, liberty bonds and cash obtained in numer- ous robberies were found in safety deposit boxes belonging to the male} suspect. The police grilled the woman for seven hours without obtaining valu- le information of any kind. Th finally had to release her, admitting that “it was useless to try making a woman talk when she didn't want to.” California's increased crop of femi. nine felons are an entirely different brand from those of a decade ago.
