JURY BRIBERY PLOT INOIL GASE PROBED Los Angeles Prosecutor Seeks Indictment of Five in Julian Co. Trial. | | By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, March 20.—Declar- ing that he has confessions or admis- l| | sions of gullty participation in “the most outrageous bribery schemes ever un- covered in this county,” District Attor- ney Buron Pitts today sought indict- ments against five or more persons in- volved in alleged jury tampering in connection with the $100,000,000 Julian Petroleum Corporation fraud case. Fitts said he would ask the grand jury to indict among others, Sheridan C. Lewis, former president of the Julian Co. Lewis was arrested yesterday on a charge of suspicion of conspiracy to offer and give a bribe to a juror. Others taken into custody for investi- gation in connection with the latest Julian upheaval are Jacob Berman, Julian Co. official; Louis Krause and J. H. Weaver, alleged juror bribers; Frank G. Grider, John B. Groves, Mrs. Bertie A, Shook, Mrs. Agnes C. Hackett and Mrs. Carolina Love, members of the Jjury which acquitted the 10 Julian prin- cipals of fraud in 1928. Score of Witnesses Held. More than a score of witnesses were being held in technical custody until they testify before the grand jury. Chief among the developments grow- ing out of Fitts’ investigations is a con~ fession from Berman in which he ad- mitted he had bribed two jurors, Grider and Groves, for their votes of “not guilty” in the Julian trial. Berman said the bribes were made through Krause, whom he knew to be a “juror fixer.” He said the bribes were con- summated through the purchase for $16,000 of a house from Grider and the payment of $5,000 cash to Groves. He Tells “the Whole Story.” “I promised I would tell the whole story of this Julian affair from start to finish, and this jury bribing was part of it,” Berman told Fitts. “It was my money, $16,000 of it, that went to buy Juror Grider's home, and I per- sonally, in company with Louis Krause, gave Juror Groves $5,000 in $100 bills.” Mrs. Love, another juror, admitted she had been approached by Weaver, acting as agent for Lewis, and had agreed to accept $20,000 if “I found 1 could conscientiously vote a verdict of acquittal.” She said the deal did not go through, however, and she re- ceived no money from any source. “Partial confessions” and “damaging admissions” received from others ques- tioned will be presented to the grand Jjury, Fitts said. e SCHUMANN-HEINK’S SON EVADES JAIL SENTENCE Judge Rules He Must Pay Back $3,000 to Brokerage Firm He Once Headed.

With her victory goes a prize of $100 and a right to compete in the finals of the Washington region. ‘The contest was held at 1:30 o'clock before the assembled students of the school.

These have debated all over the country on this subject, on both sides of the argument, and they told me a very surprising qhmr, the side against “disarmagient” al- ways wins. They explained the fact because disarmament was a theory and an ideal, and that the other side could shoot your argument full of holes.

At the same time the State adopted in its place a new law which relieves all State banking institutions of special and regular acsessments except a levy of two-tenths of 1 per cent, which is to continue for 10 years. The old law, which provided that all State banks contribute regular assess- ments on their average daily deposits toward a fund used to pay depositors of banks which failed, was repealed at a special session of the Legislature last week, after it had amassed a $20,000.- 000 deficit fund. Sixty-five thousand depositors are waiting restitution from the fund. Abandonment of the old law was completed yesterday when Gov. Arthur J. Weaver signed the substitute passed by the lature, He expressed be- lief that the two-tenths of 1 per cent assessment levied under the new law will produce $3,000,000, and that this, with another $3,000,000 levied before the old law was repealed, will do much to reflll the empty purses of depositors. In addition $8,000,000 will be added by State appropriation, if a constitutional amendment to permit it is approved by the voters this Fall. 420 Florids avenue, and expects to enter Howard University following her duatic February.

By the Assoclated Press CHICAGO, March 20.—The board of review of the North Central Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools late yesterday recommended that But- lef University of Indianapolis, Ind., be dropped from the association. A report read by Geo-ge F. Zook of the University of Akron, at Akron, Ohio, secretary of the board, said that the board felt that the control of ath- hu%u“ Butler, its library facilities, internal administration, faculty load and endowment did not meet the asso- ciation’s requirements. ‘Two other institutions, Crane Junior College of Chicago and Iowa Wesleyan of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, also would be dropped under the recommendation, final action on which rests with the executive committee. The board said it found Crane Junior's teaching and library facilities were inadequate, and that Towa Wesleyan had failed to com- ply with financial standards fixed by the association for & college of its class. CHICAGO AVERTS CRISIS CHICAGO, March 20 ().—Possibility of a second financial crisis in Chicago’s governing bodies was averted today with the definite announcement by taxing officials that bills for 1928 taxes will be malled by June 1.
