low the crowd to get set for the Lindbergh entree. As evidence of the amount of interest that citizens exhibited during the morning, one woman boarding a card at Meridian and Washington Sts., stepped back from the step, saying to a friend with her: “No, I’m not going to get on now, I’m afraid we’ll miss him if we do.” At noon a crowd had gathered around the Baldwin Piano Company on the Circle and was eagerly listening to two new songs which a phonograph playec^ One, the “>wgle of the U. S. A.,” drew the most applause. The other, “Lucky Lindy,” was close behind. “He’s Just Good’’ However, in regard to the latter, one man had the following to say: "Lucky?” He’s just good—that’s all.” One woman, standing in the crowd—perhaps 70 she was—wiped a tear from her eye as a point in one of the songs was reached which named Mrs. Lindbergh as the guiding spirit behind the flight, others lucky enough to gain those places of vantage, were perched in windows and on building roofs. Seemingly they were foregoing their lunch hour in order to get a glimpse of Lindbergh. However, some munched at sandwiches as did part of the crowd in the street. On many of the signs on top buildings, people perched in perilous positions. ; There were seventy-four persons on the Monument. Colonel Oren Perry, Monument superintendent, said that several hundred more sought that vantage point, but that it was necessary to refuse to take any more up an hour before Lindy ■rrived. Wife'd Rather Shop I Milo Dickson, 46, who came in Vrom Whiteland, south of the city, Ko view the young air hero, took his fclace on the Monument before 11 Kv. m. wife preferred shopping to viewing Lindy, Dickson said. Lindy circled the Monument three times, the third time swooping di< rectly over the spar at a height of about 600 feet, it appeared. Richmond accorded Lindbergh the first of a series of noisy demonstrations awaiting him along his route in Indiana. Lindbergh approximated th>> route of the Old National trail, which will j f ake him over Terre Haute before ! he passed into Illinois. Hoosiers were out in force to see j the flier all along the route. Greenfield and Brazil gave him noisy Welcomes.

LONE WOLFUF OIL FIELDS IN DEATHBATTLE C. C. Julian, Canadian Wizard of Finance, Fights Coast’s Bankers. 1 BY MAX STERN LOS ANGELES, June 17.—Hero or heavy villain in the dramatic $140,000,000 Julian Petroleum Corporation bubble is C. G. Julian, all according to the way you look at it. Certainly it was this wiry, swarthy young Canadian wildcatter who blew the lid, exposing to an amazed public the picture of 400 of California’s most powerful and respectable bankers, movie magnates, former judges and patriots engaged in “pool” loans to the corporation's wreckers, totaling between $80,000,000 and $100,000,000. And these loans were at interest rates averaging 228 percent a year, running to as high as 900 percent. Whether he himself is 100 percent pure is a question that has not been taken into court. Tom Lawson of 1927 Julian might be called the Tom Lawson of this era. He has taken on for a finish fight bankers whose names and fame spread to all parts of the country. He charges that bankng pirates deliberately wrecked Julian Pete and sought to seize its $30,000,000 properties; and that they charged his successor, S. C. Lewis, upwards of $11,000,000 in usurious interest (others say it goes as high as $18,000,000). He says that if this were returned according to the state law of three dollars back for every one dollar taken In usury it would rebuild the company and compensate the 40,000 stockholders, now holding 4,200,000 shares of over-issued and spurious stock; that these men, not the “poor boobs” facing indictment, are to blame for recent history’s most revealing scandal. Who is Julian? He was raised on a Canada farm. When his father died the family moved to Winnipeg, and C. C. sold newspapers, clerked in drug stores and sold milk to support his mother, sister and two brothers. In 1907 he came to California in the oil rush and worked as a driller in Bakersfield at $2.75 a day. Back to Canada, he became a Victoria realtor and cleaned up a modest fortune. The war broke him, and he came back to the Kern County oil fields ronghnecking it in Taft. Finally he began wildcatting. and fortune smiled. He struck oil. From then on he sky-rocketed to wealth and fame, if not to popularity. Owns Radio Station He has a wife and two children. He is only 42 years old. He rides up and down the coast in his private airplane. Most important of all, lie owns a $200,000 broadcasting station, KMTR. At war with the former state corportion commissioner, he went into politics. Shut out from the banks, he turned his company over to Lewis /to finance, warning hin against the local banking fraternity. Shut out from the newspapers, he “took to the air.” KMTR in Hollywood became the nightly bearer of the hottest scandal, the scourge of reputations never before tarnished by a whisper, the broadcaster of the low-down on the “Julian Swindle.” But no one yet has sued him for libel or slander.

Doctors’ Editorial Hits at State’s Liquor Law

'Read It and Weep/ Says Article in Medical Magazine. “Read it and weep,” says an editorial in American Medicine, one of the leading medical journals, and then goes on to quote the letter of Attorney General Arthur *L. Gilliom to Governor Jackson, citing the urilawful use of whisky to save the lives* of Mrs. Jackson and the attorney general’s children. Gilliom asked that the Governor recommend modification to permit medicinal liquor. The article is entitled “When the Law Endangers Your Home,” and reads in part as follows: “The address of the retiring president of the American Medical Association at the recent annual convention in Washington, D. C., was a masterly presentation of tiie disgraceful features of the prohibition law and its restrictions on legitimate medical practice. Every day the evils of the law are being emphasized, and Congress must take steps to correct these evils. “God knows we do not want the saloon or the abuses of the past ever to come back. But to brand every honest doctor as untrustworthy or a criminal is a calumny descent peo - ple never should tolerate. There are unscrupulous physicians, just as there are crooks in every calling, but to condemn a whole profession for the acts of a few is a crying shame. “There is another side to the question even more serious and that is the grave endangering of the lives of innocent people by preventing a physician from prescribing the alcoholic stimulants needed in indicated conditions. “No better evidence of the despicable nature of the medical features of the lav/ have been brought out than is shown in discussion of the conditions which forced the Governor and the attorney general of a great State to violate the law, and render themselves criminally liable, under its provisions! We can only say—honest men—read it and weep.” STRAW HAT SAVES LIFE New Lid Prevents Falling Brick From Killing Owner. Bu United Press CHICAGO.

LINDY MAKES LEGION SURE OF_WELCOME France Eagerly Awaits Host of Veterans; Difference? of Past Buried BY MINOTT SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer PARIS, June 17.—The “flutter of a wing,” has so solidified FrancoAmerican friendship that France is awaiting with happy expectation the coming of the American Legionnaires in September. Charlie Lindbergh, with his message of strength and heroism from out of the west, has warmed the hearts of the French quite as much as the promise of those American legions ten years ago. “Lindbergh has put over the American Legion convention,” remarked a prominent American official the day the young aviator took off for Brussels. This same sentiment is felt, and deeply appreciated, by all American residents in Paris. All the little irritations between the two peoples have vanished, and France stands with America today stronger than at any time since 1917. They Found Each Other "You will seek in vain in the annals of Paris an enthusiasm more prompt, more spontaneous, and more complete than that of the welcome given to the young American hero,” said the Excelsior in a remarkable editorial after Lindbergh had departed. “The ‘Kid of the Sky,’ for forty millions of French people, has become a living legend, beside those of Roland Garros. Guynemer, Nungesser and Coli.” “Two great peoples, by the flutter of a wing, have found each other.” And everywhere in France today this is the manifest spirit which is awaiting the American Legionnaires. Villages Clamor for Visit. The question no longer is, “What to do about the American invaders,” but “How to find time to do more for them.” .Every day the Paris Post of the American Legion receives appeals from villages large and small to be remembered In the tour of the legionnaires. Invitations already have mounted to such extent that only a small portion can be fulfilled. The most impressive delegation that has visited Paris to invite the Americans came from the city of Metz. Thousands of American boys were being massed for a great drive against Metz in early November, 1918. The Armistice halted the drive. But the Americans nevertheless are looked upon as deliverers. Remember the Americans. The most touching invitations come from the little villages. Back in 1918 these settlements with such funny names meant a great deal, for a time, to some of our boys. The name of an old lady in whose humble house the Yank might have billeted may by this time have

Joe Druse Handicapped by a crippled right arm, Joe Druse, 15. of 562 Jones St., rescued his chum, Joseph Dugan, 14, son of Patrolman Landic Dugan, 1048 S. West St., Thursday evening from White River under the Harding St. bridge. The boys, with Louis Kossman, 15, of 522 Vinton St., borrowed a boat from a friend. The boat struck a hidden object under the bridge and capsized. Kossman swam out. Dugan cannot swim. Druse paddled around the boat. With his good arm he seized Dugan and, swimming mostly with his feet, completed the rescue. The Dugan | lad had gone under twice when 1 Druse reached him. / slipped his mind, but she probably ; remembers his name and very likely | she is telling her neighbors that she hopes to see. her boy again. I The talk gets around to the mayor, who very likely remembers old friends as well, and the result jis an invitation to the American 1 Legion. 1 How these invitations are going to be answered appears now to be one of the chief problems of the convention. Even in the cities the spirit of friendship for France and wartime sentiment behind the pilgrimage is being appreciated, and for this reason the boys are sure of a cordial welcome.

4-CONTINENT JAUNT ENJOYED OT DE PINEGO Italian Flier Is Glad to Be Home: Praises Lindbergh and Chamberlin. Hu United Press ROME. June 17.—“1t was a magnificent adventure,” Francesco Dc Pinedo, Italian flier, told the United Press upon completion of the flight which carried him 30,000 miles over western Europe and Africa, across the South Atlantic, and South America, up through Central and North America, across the North Atlantic, and back to Rome. De Pinedo arrived yesterday evening. “I am certainly happy that I finished the flight without a mishap.” De Pinedo said, “I enjoyed every part of the journey.” The Italian airman paid his respects to the American fliers, Charles Lindbergh and Clarence Chamberlin, and said he was delighted with their success. “I am especially glad,”' he said, “over Bellanca’s success,” referring to the designer of the plane in which Chamberlin and Levine flew across the Atlantic. “I hope he comes to Italy.” ha continued. “He certainly deserved success after his years of painstaking efforts.” De Pinedo appeared in the rosiest of health. He was not surprised that a United Press •♦correspondent was the first to receive him. “I am used to expecting United Pres:, correspondents first,” he said. "Wherever I went they were the first to receive me. even coming out in heavy seas, sometimes in launches, to greet me." De Pinedo received relatives and intimate friends, who came loaded with flowers. His home was filled with bouquets. Relatives, who spent anxious months while De Pinedo was making Ins perilous flights, were bubbling over with enthusiasm. “I can grant only a short interview.” lie said apologetically, "as I am now going to greet my mother, who is waiting to see me after many months.” About five million trees have to be cut each year to maintain telephone and telegraph lines.
