FORMAL FETES BAD LUCK FOR HENRY DOHERTY Process Servers Crash State Functions to Snare Him. fly Frripps-Hoir.nr'l \'rtrspnprr AHinprc WASHINGTON, Doc. 20—Yielding to a yen for dining and dancing in white tie and tails among distinguished company was described today by Alvin Newmyer, Washington attorney, as the fatal flaw in Henry L. Doherty’s tactics lor avoiding process servers. Twice the wealthy oil man and stock promoter has played hide-and-seek for months with agents of the United States Marshal's office here. Twice deputy marshals were almost ready to give up when the lure of state occasions overpowered Mr. Doherty’s more cautious self and he was served with something less welcome than caviar. Nearly a year ago Mr. Newmeyer filed two suits against Mr. Doherty in behalf of Washingtonians w r ho said they had bought stock of the Indian Territory Illuminating Oil Cos. related to the parent Cities Service Co.—under promise that allegedly were exaggerated. John Clarkson—a marshal’s deputy then but now a liquor salesman tried and tried to serve Mr. Doherty by sleuthing his suite in the Shoreham Hotel, his big car with its luxurious trailer, and his private airplane. Ball Was Ilis Downfall Then the annual ball in honor of President Roosevelt’s birthday was announced. Mr. Doherty was one of the sponsors. The ball took place in the same hotel where he maintains his Washington home. Marshal Clarkson, in every day clothes, established himself on the route to the ballroom. But he never saw his quarry until he took a peek into the crowded dancing place and saw Mrs. Roosevelt, other notables and finally Mr. Doherty. The marshal’s toes were stepped on by the whirling dancers, and the servants were about to throw out the stranger with the plebian clothes, but Clarkson quickly qualified for the Northwest Mounties. Time ambled on. The two suits were settled out of court. But 14 more were, instituted, naming the same stock and the same alleged representation by agents of Henry L. Doherty & Cos., and also the same dearth of present value. Mrs. Adelaide Cannon Blair, widow of a former Commissioner of Internal Revenue, said she had paid $4687 for 100 shares and could sell for nothing. Mrs. Florence Craig asked for her S3OOO back. Mrs. Evangeline Kendall sued for $4250 worth. Mrs. Lalia Kalmback claimed $4675, and a similar sum was demanded by William L. Brotherton, Washington merchant. Nine other suits brought the total to $22,860. Agents Stumped Again Again deputy marshals tried to find Mr. Doherty, and again they were stumped. Finally, Gerald W. Sickler was deputized at the attorney’s request to serve Mr. Doherty, and for no other duty. Since his appointment Nov. 27 until Dec. 14 he had worked the hotel corridor i with the old result. On that eve- ! ring Mr. Doherty brushed off his ; coat talks and set out for the Gridiron Club. Unluckily for him the news of his plans got out in advance. Mr. Sickler, a personable young college man and once an amateur actor, donned white tie and clawhammer coat, crashed the hitherto impreg- ' liable Gridiron and by aid of a seat- j lng chart got his man. Unfortunately for himseir. however. when he tapped Mr. Doherty he had completed his assignment! and had worked himself out of a Job. Mr. Doherty has 20 days from t.he 1 date of the dinner, not including! Sundays and two holidays, to answer the charges that his agents! made false representations with respect to outstanding bond issues' and indebtedness which affected t.he j value of the Indian Territories stock. That is. unless the new suits, like the first two, are settled out of court. PEAS TOO HARD, SO PRISON DINERS ROAR Warden Tastes Soup. Then Orders 1 Other Food for Inmates. fly Vnited Press JACKSON, Mich., Dec. 20.—Up and down the ling, gray-clad line of convict diners at Jackson Prison yesterday murmurs of protest turned j into a roar when the 800 inmates j found peas in the soup were as hard as bullets. The men shouted and pounded on the table. A riot call sent state police, city .police, firemen, sheriffs and two ambulances to the scene. After a half hour, the prisoners were back in the cell block, and another shift of prisoners took up the shout ifig. Warden Charles Shean pronounced the soup inedible and the inmates were given a second meal of wieners and eggs. EPSOM SALT IS AID IN RAISING TURKEYS Bitter Drug Improves Appetites of Birds, Says Expert. fl.y Science Service VANCOUVER. Wash.. Dec. 20. j To Junior, overstuffed with turkey at the Christmas feast, Epsom salt i may be simply a disagreeable aftermath of forfeit. But to the turkey the same bitter drug might have served as a preliminary treatiren ; to put him into better condition for the carving knife. Jerome Simkins, turkey-raising j farmer near here, states that he improves the appetites of his birds for their fattening ration by weekly! doses of Epsom salt.
