PURCHASES OF LAND BY CITY IS DELVED INTO Holtzman Is Accused of Asking Appraisor to Raise Figures. While a subcommittee of four members of the city council Investigates charges of loose purchases o: automobile, the council probe committee was to devote this afternoon s hearing to evidence in questioned sand and gravel land purchases by the city. Charles W. Jewett, former mayor, who has alternated In the roles of witness and prosecutor, was to be present again this afternoon. An opportunity was to be given Joel E Baker, city purchasin'; agent against whom the charges of purchase of too many automobiles was made, to read hi~ answer to the accusations made in the Jewett brief Insists on Defense Baker insisted on reading his answer Thursday afternoon, but as hour was late he was promised an opportunity todav. Roy C. Shane’: erger and L. HTrotter, members of the board of works, with Oren S. Hack, present corporation counsel, when the resolution for the purchase of flood prevention land was introduced, have been subpenaed to appear today. Testimony of Z. B. Hunt opened the Thursday hearing. The real estate dealer declared that $55,000, the figure first set, probably represented the real value of the Dilling , & Cos. land acquired for flood prevention, and that he had “not changed his mind as to the real value rinse then.” He said that David Coulter, another appraiser asked him “to increase the valuation so that the city could eifcct a compromise at SIOO,OOO without litigation.” Increased Appraisal Coulter had testified that he hiked his appraisal at the request of John | W. Holtzman, then corporation counsel. Jewett declared that the court entry of the settle, lent of the Granite Sand and Gravel Company showed that three of the city's witnesses had been used to increase the price s6l, r O3 t* more than s<loo,ooo when the fact was that they had not testified. “If you had read my brief, you would have seen that,” declared Merle Walker, attorney for the land owners. “I went by the court entry which you wrote and which evidently was ; intended to give the impression that the city’s own witnesses had fes sifled to the high value of the land," Jewett answered. Hack was criticised by Jewett for becoming an attorney for Diiling & \ Cos. In the land deal immediately j after resigning from the board of ! works. Hack Had Information “It is true that Mr. Hack did not part cipate in the hearings befor: the board of works, but, as a member slit ng on the beard, he was recipient of information whi could have been used in the appeal, Jewett said. “Do you mean to say wha* j Hack did was unethical?” queried Walker. “I am not the judge of Mr. Hack’s ethics or morals,” was the rejoinder. James Noel, special counsel for the probers, then asked: “It is not true that a judge dan not, after leaving the bench, accept employment .in any care in which he has participated? Is that not the professional rule?” “Yes,” was Jewett’s answer. Members of the council probe committee. Herman Lieber, Earl Buchanan and Edward Harris, showed that the cctincil had machinery with which to detect errors in purchases, and that Sterling R Holt, city controller, discovered the purchase of the La Salle car fer Police Chief Claude M. Worley on split requisitions. Bark, one of the English Channel Islands, has many curious local taxes, one being paid in fowls by each house according to the number of chimneys it possesses.

For COLD 8

We all catch colds and they can make us miserable; but yours needn’t last long if you will do this: Take two or three tablets of Bayer Aspirin just as soon as possible after a cold starts. Stay in the house if you can —keep warm. Repeat with another tablet or two of Bayer Aspirin every three or four hours, if those symptoms of cold persist. Take a good laxative when you retire, and keep bowels open. If throat is sore, dissolve three tablets in a quarter-glassful of water and gargle. This soothes inflammation and reduces infection. There is nothing like Bayer Aspirin for a cold, or sore throat. And it relieves aches and pains almost instantly. The genuine tablets, marked Bayer, are absolutely harmless to the heart.

ACTOR ASSERTS woman’s beat;: WASMENT State Charge, However, Is First-Degree Murder of Divorcee. P,u T'riitrd Preen SAN FRANCISCO, Nov, 22. Police were seeking evidence today to strengthen their case against Laurence Tulloch, actor and radio ! studio director, charged with firs. } degree murder in connection with i the shooting of Mrs. Gertrude Hawkins Lavine, young divorcee, in his j apartment Thursday. | Tulloch denied the shooting at ; first, contending that he was out of ! the room at the time the shot was j fired, but admitted finally that he | killed the woman accidentally. \ According to Tulloch’s original j version, the two went to his apart- : ment and played bridge. When the other couple departed Tulloch ! stayed up, talking with Mrs. Lavine vHe left the room for a moment, he told police, and heard a shot. Rushing back, he found Mrs. Lavine on the floor with a bullet in her head, and his revolver lying nearby Absence of powder bums on the woman’s clothing led police to doubt the radio man’s story, and after hours of questioning, Tulloch confessed. “We were discussing firearms,” he said, “and I went to a drawer and got my revolver to illustrate. She was curious about ’ how it worked and I started to show her how it was loaded. Somehow the revolver went off.” i Mrs. Lavine recently was divorced from Wilson Lavine, a railroad official. Divorce proceedings followed a quarrel over a bridge game. Tulloch is a former University of Cahfomia student, and has acted on the stage locally and in the east, where he was with the Provincetown players. He also had worked for foreign newspapers, and for a Berlin motion picture corporation.
