LOS ANGELES, Aug. 28 —Ed-
ward L. Doheny and directors of
the Pan-American Petroleum and
Transport company, today faced a
bill of complaint demanding an
accounting of $10,000,000  stock-
holders allege they lost in the fra-
udulent lease of the Elk Hills Na-
val Oil Reserve. —

The complaint, filed in behalf
of Frank H. Kunkel, Cincinnati,
-and other shareholders, declares
the loss resulted from the cancel-
lation of the lease by a decision
of the United States Supreme
Court after the company had spent
several million dollars in the de-
velopment of the field.
