| Los Angeles, Aug. 28.--(1—A
bill of complaint demanding an ac-
counting of $10,000,000 was filed in
the U. S. district court Monday
against Edward L. Doheny and
the Pan-American Petroleum and
Transport company.

The bill, which charges that
stockholders of the company lost
this sum through alleged fraud on
the part of Doheny in the famous
Elk Hills ofl scandal, was filed by
a Los Angeles law firm on behalf
of Frank H. Kunkel, attorney = of
Cincinnati, who brought the suit in
the interest of himself and other
stockholders.

The bill declares the $10,000,000
was lost by the stockholders solely
because Doheny acted fraudulently
in connection with the leasing from
‘former Secretary of the Interior Al-
Bert B. Fall of the Elk Hills naval
oil reserve, and through large sums
spent ip development of the fields
themselves, and elsewhere in con-
nection with the deal. It demands
that an accounting be made by Do
heny and that such money as was
expended in the alleged giving of a
$100,000 bribe to Fall, and in the de
velopment of the fraudulently leas
ed fields, be returned to the stock
holders,
