ing England Information.
ST. PETERSBURG. March. 4. An In
terpellation was Introduced in the Douma

prepare the armor according to a secret
process worked out at the Kopline fac
tory and furnishing plans of Russian
eight and ten-inch guns to the English
firm when the English shell failed to meet
the high velocity requirements insisted
upon by Russia.

RESIST TRIAJLJN OREGON
Los Angeles Land-Fraud Defendants
Fijrht Removal.
LOS ANOSL.ES, March 4. Six residents
of Los Angeles indicted in connection
with Oregon land frauds today began
proceedings in the Federal Court be
fore Commissioner Vandyke to prevent
their removal to Oregon for trial. Owing
to the probable delay in the arrival of
witnesses and to the fact t'hat a series
of motions to dismiss will be made, the
proceedings will probably occupy a week
or more. The defendants are all promi
nent business men of this city.
The six defendants are David M. Good
win; William D. Gould; Lee R. Myers;
George L. Stearns; Warren Gillellan and
R. W. Kenney. Two others indicted at
the same time, A. H. Hedderly and
Richard Hynes, did not resist removal. It
was decided that the case against Good
win will be the first taken up. AH
motions today for quashing, setting aside
or dismissing were overruled by Com
missioner Vandyke, clearing the way for
the actual introduction of evidence.
The cases .against the six defendants
date back ta April, IWJ, whta ludic Uncut
were returned against them in Oregon,
charging them with conspiracy to de
fraud the Government in the matter of
Oregon lands and timber claims.
