WONAN DECLARES MONEY WAS LOAN Miss Elzina Howells Denies Embezzlement and Larceny Accusations. Miss Elzina Howells, 48 years old, charged with embezzlement and larceny after trust, today testified in her own defense before a jury of seven women and five men in Criminal Division 1, Ju ice Jesse C. Adkins g;:smxng. and denied that anything had n said about investing in stock speculation $5,700 which she received from Miss Irene Biggs and Miss Lillian Girard, nurses, residing at the Toronto Apartments, between December 10, 1928, and June 21, 1929. She claimed that the money was bor- rowed from the nurses and that the whole transaction was a civil one and Telied on a note which she had given the nurses, which purported to become due last February, many months later than the time luid in the indictment. Miss Howells declared that she had borrowed $500 from the two women on the first day of their acquaintance. She admitted on cross-examination by coun- sel for the Government that she had been convicted of larceny at Auburn, N. Y., and sentenced to serve 14 months’ imprisonment in 1916. She admitted drawing the checks for the European trip of the nurses and giving them a letter of credit totaling $1,600 when she had only $18.20 in her checking ac- count. She declared she had expecta- tions that the overdraft would be taken care of, but was not explicit as to who was to do this. Justice Adkins will instruct the jury on the completion of arguments of counsel and is expected to leave to the Jury to decide whether the evidence sus- tains the charge of embezzlement, set out in eight counts of the indictment, or the charge of larceny after trust as alleged in the remaining eight counts. Assistant United States Attorneys William A. Gallagher and Charles B. Murray are conducting the prosecution ‘while Attorney Paul J. Sedgwick of this city and Donald W. Smith of the North Tarolina bar appear for the defendant. WATSON THINKS SENATE WILL 0.K. HOOVER NAMES Senator Watson, the majority leader, sald today after a call at the White House that the Senate would stay in session long enough after the London treaty is disposed of to “confirm most of the nominations” President Hoover [ to submit. No inations are to be sent to the Senate until a time for voting on the treaty has been set. ‘Among the first nominations that will be sent to the Senate, it was said at the White House, will be one for the elevation of Justice Willlam Hitz of the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbia to one of the newly created laces on the Court of Appeals for the istrict, and the nomination of James M. Proctor, local attorney, to succeed Justice Hitz on the lower court. The President also plans to name members of the newly created Power Commission and of the Tariff Commis- sion, as well as a number of Federal District judges. Watson said some of the controversial nominations would go over until the December jon. Treaty supporters believe transmis- sion of the nominations at this time would help opponents of the 3 “It would absolutely destroy us,” ‘Watson said. ‘THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Historic Oil Derrick Ends Years of Work To Become Relic Built Over Doheny’s First Well, Machinery Moved for 37 Years. By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, July 17—A crude little derrick, which Edward L. Doheny | bullt 37 years ago to start his career | in the oil industry and a fortune esti- mated in excess of $100,000,000, ceased its pumping yesterday. { With Charles O. Canfield, oil opera- | tor of Texas and Mexico, associate in | this first enterprise, the oil magnate | visited the rickety wooden structure and ordered its removal to his modern plant in Torrance, a suburb, where it will remain as a relic of California’s first oil days. Through the many years it has stood near the corner of Court and Patton streets, on the fringe of the central business district of Los Angeles. The well oomqu:ny has produced between 14 and 16 barrels a day. “It is & long time since T used & pick and shovel,” Doheny. as he stood beside the old well. “Thirty- seven years ago Charles Canfleld and I looked at this spot and decided there was oil underground. “After we reached a depth of eight feet we could no longer throw out dirt by hand so we rigged up a tripod derrick.” When they reached 160 feet about 10 or 12 barrels of oil flowed into the bottom of the shaft, Doheny said. “We baled it out and sold it to a pipe fac- tory as a rust preventive” the ofl magnate related. “It was the first ofl taken out of the Los Angeles Basin.” LAMB FUTURES ADDED Live Hog Trading Success Prompts Chicago Exchange to Expand.
