TOPEKA. Sept. . 18.—(/P)—The
storm of public discussion and of
ficial Investigation aroused In this
capital of the first prohibition state
by a statement of Jay E. House
Philadelphia newspaper columnist,
that he was served liquor in 13 or
14 Topeka homes visited by him
last winter and that an average of
four drinking parties to the city
block was maintained nightly, ap
peared today to have been a temp
est in a teapot.
In a letter to A. J. Carruth, Jr.,
managing editor of the Topeka
State Journal, read before a group
of investigating state officials yes
terday, House, a former mayor of
Topeka, termed his statements "fol
de-roL”
The charges which so stirred the
city and the state were made by
the Philadelphia writer in a let- j
ter to the Rev. J. J. McClellan, su-1
perintendent of the Kansas ami- ;
saloon league. McClellan published
the letter, and Gov. Clyde M. Reed
ordered Atty. Gen. William A.
Smith and Shawnee county offi
cials to ascertain whether any- \
thing in House's charges warranted |
criminal prosecution.
Four of six witnesses quest toned
denied there was any liquor, to
their knowledge, at social functions
which House attended here last
winter. The fifth witness was non
committal, and the sixth said there
was some liquor. All denied any
liquor was served by the hosts. The
witnesses included hosts and guests
at some of the functions at which
House was entertained.
After listening to their contra
dictions of the Philadelphian's ac
count of his entertainment here
and hearing House's own letter
read. Smith indicated th einvesti
gation would be dropped.
Carruth termed House “a great
big bluffer.”
Mrs. Pantages Awaits
Defense Plea Answer
LOS ANGELES. Sept. 18.—(Pi
Attorneys in the second degree
murder trial of Mrs. Lois Pantages
today awaited Judge Carlos S.
Hardy’s decision on the defense's
plea for admission of evidence,
which it was promised, would show
Juro Rokumoto. Japanese gard
ener, died of asphyxiation rather
than injuries received in a collision 1
between his motor car and that of
the theater magnate's wife.
In arguments on the plea yester
day during which the jury was ab
sent from ti;e court room, the de
fense contention that the Japanese
died of asphyxiation while undcr
gofng an operaiion was met by the
prosecution with the statement the
plea was immaterial as the opera
tion was necessary because of Rok
umoto's injuries.
FIRE DAMAGE
3 MILLIONS
IN CALIFORNIA
Giant Oil Field Blaze
Burns Scores Of
Homes and Takes
One Life
VENTURA, Calif. ( Sept. 18.—uP)
—The most disastrous fire in Ven
tura county's history was surren
dering reluctantly today, leaving
25,000 acres blackened in the tri
angular mountainous oil field sec
tion bounded by Ventura, Ojal and
Santa Paula. Damage stood at be
tween $3,000,000 to $3,500,000, and
one death was laid to the fire.
Flames still raged near Sant*
Paula, in Wheeler canyon, Canada
Lana, at the head of Santa Paula
canyon, and in several smaller can
yons near the E. L. Doheny mansion
at Ferndale, where the blaze start
ed two days ago from a broken high
tension wire. Property destroyed in
cluded 126 oil rigs outside the main
Ventura Avenue field, which was
not touched.
Schools Suffer
Scores of homes were burned,
along with scattered oil field equip
ment, and many automobiles aban
doned on impassable roads by flee
ing residents were lost. Five small
school buildings were consumed.
The fire indirectly caused one
death. Norman Beems, national
forest service official, riding a mo
torcycle along a smoke-choked
highway, collided with a fire truck.
He died in a hospital. Seven men
wrrc burned, more or less seriously.
Homes Burned
Citrus groves and walnut orchards
suffered unestunated losses, as the
heat caused leaves to curl and fall,
and unpicked fruit and nuts to
drop.
Two hundred and fifty persons,
chiefly oil field workers and their
families, were homeless. Houses in
the path of the flames in many in
stances were erased from the land
scape. with only ashes remaining.
At other points portions of homes
still were standing.
Eleven oil companies suffered the
most severe lasses.
