The Cottonwood, grounded in Like Superior, was the only vessel wrecked by the fury of tnc early Winter storm.

A. R. last night. Both artists seemed in fine spirits and the Latin verve of the musc in their program found ready rhythmic response in an eager, applauding audience. Mr. Schipa opened his recital with very old Italian—Scarlatti's “'Sento nel core” and De Luca's “Non posso disperar,” both beautiful songs sung with skillful phrasing and color. “La Farfalletta” was a delightful encore. Then came the French operatic aria, “Ah, fuyez douce image. from Massenet’s “Manon.” with a fascinat- ing Fourdrain sone. aval,” as the encore.

Mr. Fitzgerald was chair- man of the committee on appropria- tions and Mr Shirley was an influen- tial member of the committee during the Wilson administration. Some of the Nation's most proml- nent oil men have also been sub. poenaed, including H. M. Storey, vice president of the Standard Oil Co. of California; A. C.

" It is notable that the list of Gov- ernment witnesses does’ not include all the prominent men that appeared as witnesses when the matter was being presented to the grand jury. Chief among the absentees are Edwin Denby, former Secretary of the Navy, who signed the leases, and Rear Ad- miral J. K. Robison, chief of en- gineers, and then chief ald to Denby in oil matters and policles, As far as known, counsel for the defense have issued no subpoenaes, but as it will probably take several weeks to introduce the testimony for the prose- cution, there is ample time for the service of process on witnesses for the defense. Noted Counsel to Appear. Attorney Frank J. Hogan will be chief counsel for the defendant Doheny, and will be assisted by three lawyers from the staff of the Pan- American Petroleum Co., Frederic R.

Both defendants in this case are plcturesque figures. Fall, a native of Kentucky, went West in the early eighties to seek his forune in a new and almost unexplored country. He hecame prospector, farmer and miner, educated himself, taught school and studied law. He practiced in New Mexico in its Territorlal days and was elected to the Territoria: legislature. President Cleveland appointed him a justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory. and he served later twice as attorney general of the Territory and as a member of the constitutional convention. He was the first Senator from the State of New Mexico and resigned from the upper house at President Harding's request to enter the Cabinet as Secretary of the Inte- rior. In his early days Fall prospect- ed. mined and studled law with Doheny. Doheny Also Self-Made. Doheny began life on a farm in Wisconsin more than 70 years ago. Before he was 16 he ran away from home and went West to seek his for- tune as a miner. After a varied career he found himself, at 36, in Los Angeles with a vast knowledge of minerology, but “broke.” His knowl- edge served him in good stead. how- ever, for he discovered oil within the limits of the city, and he prospered until. in 1896, he went “broke” again during the Bryan free silver cam- paign. A few years later he had made a small fortune from oil, however, and he started for Mexico, where he dis- covered vast unexplored oil flelds. He organized the Mexican Petroleum Co. and numerous subsidiaries, becoming president of the Pan American Pe- troleum and Transport Co., the Pan American Petroleum Co. of California and the Pan American Petroleum Co., Western of Los Angeles. His for- tune is now estimated at $100,000,000. List of Witnesses.

Sin- SPANISH OFFICERS HESITATE IN CRUX Government Decree Is De- clared Coldly Received by Artillery Ranks. By the Associated Pres BIARRITZ, France, November 20— Arrivals from Madrid say the Span- ish government's decree of Wednes- day reorganizing the Artillery Corps has been received coldly by the former officers. Up to the present a very small number have applied for reinstatement. (The Spanish Artillery Corps was dissolved in early September because its officers had rebelled against a new elective system of promotions instead of the traditional seniority system.) Many of the officers belong to the wealthy class. These will probably renounce their military careers, de- clining to abjure what they swore when entering the army with refer- ence to promotions purely by sen- {ority. Others, however, have lived solely on their salaries as officers. These are hesitating, since renouncement would place them in the difficult position of finding other means of livelihood. The position of the artillery officers attached to the army in Morocco re- mains unclear, but the opinion gen- erally expressed is that they will act in solidarity with their comrades on the peninsula. Fewer officers will be required in the future, as the reorganization will effect the disbandment of 13 full regi- ments of artillery, or 39 batteries.

EPISCOPAL PARISH INVITES RUSSIANS Orthodox Members Ousted by Soviet Offered Part of * Bishop’s Church. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. November 20.—A ‘hurch divided—but not against _self—was today offered by the reo- tor and vestry of Trinity parish to the 50,000 members of the Russian Orthodox Church in New York City, who have been “churchless” since the eviction by court order of Metro- politan Platon from the cathedral at Ninety-seventh street, east of Fifth avenue. ‘The new church quarters—in a very ' old bullding—will not be near the opulent Fifth avenue, as in the case of the cathedral, but at 105 East Houston, the heart of New York's “East Side.” ‘The Russians, whose spiritual head was forced out of the cathedval when proceedings were brought by a “Soviet archbishop,” will occupy the ‘ divided half of the old St. Augustine Chapel, rented to them by old Trinity, the “mother church of the country,” for $1 a year. | A higl wall, soundproof and thick, | will separate the main -chapel into two equal halves. and Russian serv- ices in quarters decorated by Russian artists will be held on one side, while Episcopal services are conducted on the other. Among the members of the Rus- sian congregation are many of noble birth, such as Princes Gagarin and Obelinsky, the inventor, Sikorsky, and the composer, Rachmaninoff. \ The Rev Drs. W. C. Emhardt and Thomas Burgess officers of the National Council of the Episcopal | Church. say the Russian Cathedral i off Fifth avenue is ‘“‘practically de- serted and the church services un- attended,” and so far as they know not even one of the Russian parishes throughout the country has “shown the least inclination to acknowledge the Soviet Archbishop,” who is John Kedrovsky, an appointee of the synod of the church in.Russia organized under the Soviet government. “In providing a cathedral,” sald Bishop William T Manning of New York today, “Trinity parish has mani- fested the sympathy which the Epis- copal Churdn feels with the people of the Russian Church in this great misfortune which has befallen them. “From the standpoint of citizenship, as well as of religion, it would be a disaster for the Russlan congrega- tions throughout our land to be brought under the direction of the present Soviet government, and thus become centers for the spread of com- munistic and atheistic propaganda.” e NEW PERMITS DEC. 1. Auto Drivers Holding Nos. 1 to 49,909 Come First. Automobile drivers holding old per- mits to drive numbered from 1 to 49, 999 should apply for renewals before December 1, under the staggered plan of reissuance which the Commission- ers urged the motorists to follow in an official proclamation. ‘The permits bearing these numbers are the oldest in use. Permit No. 1 was issued 23 years ago. Permit No. 49,999 was issued in 1917. If motorists follow the staggered plan in renewing their permits the anmlsllonera have calculated that all'of the outstanding permits will have been reissued by July 3, next, the date fixed by Congress for the expiration of the old permits. 'THIRD MPHERSD . WITNESS 1S DEAD {Nervous Condition Aggra- | vated by Trial Fatal to Carmel Cottage Owner. By the Associated Press. CARMEL, Calif., November Z20. - Death took a third witness in the Almee Semple McPherson case today in Howard W. Benedi . owner of the Carmel cottage in which the State claims Mrs. McPherson spent several days with Kenneth G. Ormis- ton, her radio operator. Death was caused by a nervous condition, which was aggravated by the publicity and worry attendant upon Benediot’s appearance in the MecPherson case as a witness for the State, physicians said. . ‘Added worries were brought on by souvenir collectors who carried off articles from the Carmel cottage. R. A. McKinley, a blind attorney of Long Beach, was killed in an auto- mobile accident before Mrs. McPher- son was indicted. He was engaged by the evangelist’s mother to negotiate for the release of Mrs. McPherson when she was belleved to be in the hands of kidnapers demanding ran som. The second witness who died was Dr. R. Waters of Los Angeles, who was wanted by the State to testify as to the movements of Mrs. McPher son, prior to her disappearance. These movements centered around a down- town hotel room occupied by the evangelist. Benedict was the only witness to reach the stand. He was brought from a Los Angeles Sanatarium to testify in support of the State's con- tention that the woman who occupied the Carmel cottage with Ormiston was Mrs. McPherson. YOUNG VIRTUOS!
