DOHENYPLANS APPEAL OF OIL GASEDECISION Elks Hill Deal Branded as Fraud by U. S. District Court. 38 - ' * • , Bu United Pres* LOS ANGELES, May 29.—F'ans were in preparation today to appeal to the highest courts the Elks Hill "oil case in which the Government yesterday was awarded a decision against E. L. Doheny and his PanAmerican Oil Company. Decision in the case was handed . down by Paul J. McCormick in the ■Federal District Court here, after nearly a year of deliberation.

Fall, when Fall was Secretary of the Interior. The court held: That the Govrnment is entitled to cancellation f the lease given Doheny on account of ‘‘fraud and conspiracy,” and because the lease was given under an illegal transfer of authority over the reserves of the Navy to the Interior Department.

RACE THRONGS ARRIVE EARLY (Continued From Page 1) Saturday, drivers and track experts said today. The bricks in the track are cool, and this will mean long life fer tires. The terrific speed shown in the qualifying four-lap trials, when Leon Duray and Peter De Paolo averaged better than 113 miles an hour, Harry Hartz more than 112 and Earl Cooper almost 110.5, means that the average for the entire 600 miles will be above the 100-mlle mark, was the general consensus of opinion about the Speedway. H. J. Skelley in his Skelley Special and Bob McDonough, Miller Special, were the two drivers to qualify Thursday. Skelley average 88.743 miles an hour for his four laps and McDonough, 101.931. Cars that must make their runs today if they hope to get in the big race are Phil /Shafer’s Duesenberg, last year’s winner, Tom Alley’s KesgLine Special, Smith Special driven by S. S. Smith, and a Super-Ford that never has been at the track. 'Never before has there been so much uncertainty as to drivers of certain cars as there is today. One thing is sure, and that is that Benny Hill will give up the front-wheel drive Miller and will return to his first love, his old Miller Special. Prospective Change Another prospective change is in the Duesenberg team. Antoine Mourre, who qualified Dusie No. 23, has not been satisfied with it. As a result Norman Button or Wade Morton may take the seat. There was a world of sympathy expressed for Charles Shambaugh of Lafayette. Year after year Shambaugh has worked on a car himself, entered it and then failed to get it here. Thursday he brought His doublechain drive, supercharger, four-cyli.i-der creation over from on a truck. It warmed up in good fashion, he gave the officials the signal for his time trial and knocked off the first lap at 91.8 miles an hour. On the next lap, when everything seemed rosy, he burned out a bearing. Without a single word of complaint or kick against his jinx, he packed up his car for the return trip to Lafayette. ' He received sis many handshakes of condolence as many a victor gets. Smith Special Here Contrary to expectations, the Smith Special came breezing in on the tail cf a touring car. It is a neat, trim, eight-cylinder car built by the Green Engineering Company of Dayton, Ohio. The crew got it on the track, but it needed tuning and will try to qualify today. The ICess-Line was still in course of assembly. Tom Riley hoped to get it out today in time to qualify. Among guests either in town today or expected to arrive were: Charles M. Schwab, New York, official referee of the race, who has reservations at the Indianapolis Athletic Club; Gar Wood, speedboat king; Harry F. Firestone, tire manufacturer; Baron Von Luettwltz, Berlin, Germony, who was in charge of the Mercedes team here two years ago; Horace Dodge, Detroit, Mich.; F. R. Cramer, president of the Altoona, Penna., speedway, and William Pabst, Milwaukee, Wis. Frank L. Hanbly, foreign district manager of Nordyke and Marmon, Paris, France; W. Iliff, Denver, Colo., with the Duesenberg team; A. S. Kaufman, New York, with the Duesenberg team. Routes to the Speedway for Saturhave been suggested by Martin J. Hyland, city street commissioner, as follows: Indiana Ave. and Sixteenth St. across Emrichsville bridge and west to Speedway. Washington St. west to Tibbs Ave., north to Sixteenth St. and tbense to Speedway. North on Capitol Ave. to Thirtieth St., weit to Riverside Park.
