LAST CHAPTER IN JULIAN CASE YET UNWRITTEN Twelve Million-Dollar Recovery Suit, Indictments Still Pending in Court. This Is th* eonelotllnr articles f t r---ir, <*n the collapse of the Jnlian PetroItinn corporation. BY GEORGE H. BEALE tTnlted Pre, Staff Corrcapondcnt LOS ANGELES. April 10.—While authorities were busy sending former District Attorney Asa Keyes to prison for accepting bribes from defendants in the Julian Petroleum Corporation case, a stockholders’ committee continued to work at salvaging the remains of the SIOO.000,000 organization which crashed. On Oct, 9, 1928, the stockholders filed a 512,000,000 suit against former Julian officials, prominent brokers, who dealt in Julian stock and the Los Angeles Stock Exchange. Recovery Suit Pending The suit charged that Julian officials conspired with the brokers to overissue four mission shares of stock and that the Los Angeles Stock Exchange permitted trading in the issue long after it learned of the overissue. The recovery suit still Is before the courts. Miss Leont;ne Johnson, once private secretary to Lewis, president of Julian, ..furnished the fireworks for the preliminary sessions of the recovery suit. She testified in March, 1930, that among other things she took $lO,000 from certain brokers in exchange for records she made while employed by Lewis. Exposure Threatened Miss Johnson's purported knowledge of the inside deals in the Julian company led the Los Angeles Examiner to request her to do a series of newspaper articles concerning the crash. Morris Lavine, an Examiner reporter, was detailed to write the series for Miss Johnson. On March 11 Lavine was arrested with $75,000 in marked bills as he walked from the office of Charles Crawford, politician. Later Miss Johnson and Lavine were indicted on a charge that they conspired to extort $300,000 from prominent business men and politician*? by threatening to expose certain Julian deals in the newspaper articles. The Examiner had no knowledge of the asserted extortion plot and it promptly dismissed Lavine. Indicted by Grand Jury Lavine and Miss Johnson are scheduled to go to trial April 22. The Lavine-Johnson case temporarily was driven out of the headlines when on March 20 the grand jury indicted Lewis, the Berman brothers, Louis Krause, a private detective and Frank Grider. J. C. Groves and Mrs. Caroline Love, all jurors, on bribery charges. The indictments charged that the group conspired to give and receive bribes during the trial of the same case which led to the conviction of Keyes, Davis and Rosenberg on bribery charges’. Lewis and the Berman brothers .through Krause paid bribes to Grider and Groves and offered to bribe Mrs. Love, it was charged. CHILDREN’S ' APPETITES are Fr.:i C'ftrn Due to Tasteless or Uninviting Diet Mothers are often confronted by the problem of getting their children to eat, what is good for them. When they notice that, this objection to wholesome foods results in underweight and lowered vitality, they are naturally much disturbed. The lark of taste-appeal of the food served is often the cause of poor appetites. The cereal may be | tasteless; the fruit juice or stewed fruit too sharp; the vegetables uninviting in flavor. By adding a dash of sugar to these foods, they will be much improved in flavor. Doctors and dietitians approve ibis use of sugar, because it makes those foods which are rich in vitamins, minerals and roughage more enjoyable to the child. A dash of sugar to a pinch of salt is a popular way to season string h ans. spinach, carrots, cabbage, peas and other vegetables as they cook. And raw vegetables used in salads are much more palatable when served w ith a French dressing in which such a combination of sugar and salt is used. Most foods are more delicious and nourishing with sugar. The Sugar Institut*. Advertisement. Bid Just What You Are Doing Now Mr. J. W. Jones.
