ROBERTS RATIFIED BY SENATE VOTE AS OILCOONSEL Sensational ‘Confession’ Provides New Evidence for Teapot Probers, By PAUL R. MALLOX United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.—Owen J. Roberts of Philadelphia was confirmed as second oil counsel by the Senate today. His confirmation, coming by an overwhelming majority, completed action of the Senate toward bringing the leases into the Federal Court. A sensational “confession” has provided the Senate oil investigators with new evidence relating to oil speculation. Committee members declined to reveal who made the confession and were carefully guarding details of the new evidence. Several subpoenas have been issued, however, for Important “witnesses’’ whose names are being withheld for the present. Vote Is 68 to 8 The vote on Roberts was 68 to 8. Those* voting against Roberts Included: Senators Ashurst, Wheeler and Shepard, Democrats; Brookhart, Frazier and La Follette, Republicans; Johnson of /Minnesota, and Shipstead, Farmer-Labor. Senators Adams and Dill, Democrats who opposed Pomerene, voted for Roberts. Subpoenas require books of several brokerage houses be brought to Washington immediately. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, who is rot a member of the investigating committee is leading the new trial during the absence of Senator Walsh, Montana. McLean In Washington Edward B. McLean, millionaire Washington publisher, who was subpoenaed from Palm Beach, Fla., has j arrived in Washington. Senator Walsh previously said McLean was called to , tell what he knew of reports regarding existence of a so-called $1,000,000 slush fund and other matters. The books of the brokers are expected to be in Lenroot’s hands by Tuesday at the latest. Lenroot refused to confirm or deny subpoenas were Issued for Harry Payne Whitney, associate of Harry F. Sinclair, Elmer Smathers. J. Philip Benkard, Harry B. Benkard and also the order clerk and office manager of J. P. Benkard & Cos. of New York. Court action on the oil scandal is promised within forty-eight hours. Further hearings have been postponed to Feb. 25. Confirmation of Roberts by the Senate was believed certain, though after considerable criticism from Senator La Follette and others.

Pomerene Is Confirmed Atlee Pomerene, Ohio, who was confirmed Saturday night by the Senate, said today as soon as Roberts is confirmed a statement will be Issued, outlining the procedure the special counsel will follow. Pomerene indicated this will consist, first, of the injunction suit to stop further pumping of oil from the reserves and application for receivers to take care of the interests of the Government and the leases until the cases are finally decided; second, suits to abrogate the leases, and finally, convening of a federal grand jury to return indictments against any deemed guilty of criminal actions in connection with the lease. • Immediately after Roberts is confirmed, the Senate is to dispose of the resolution appropriating SIOO,OOO for court action. This already has passed the House and its adoption by the Senate will provide funds for employment of assistance by Pomerene and Roberts. Ready for Action. With these steps taken, the Teapot Dome scandal will definitely pass from the realm of investigation into that of action. At the same time, however, the committee will keep in close contact with the special counsel and new developments when the inquiry is resumed will Be instantly communicated to the lawyers for such action as may be proper. Additional counsel may be selected by the Senate. Senator Pittman, member of the investigating committee, believed Roberts and Pomerene ought to have some capable assistance. He wants to propose that a call be issued for volunteers to aid in the prosecution. He believes some of the nation’s greatest legal authorities might offer their assistance.

SEVERE DROUTH SHOWS NEED OF MAMMOTH DAM Boulder Project Would Supply Water to Arid Regions of Southwest, Bu Times Special LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18.—Drouth, the worst in the recorded history or the while man in this region, is stepping in as an ally of tl*ose fighting for the Swing-Johnson bill and the Boulder Dam project. With the delegation In Washington this week from the Southwest is William Mulholland, father of the Loa Angeles aqueduct, and for forty years tno State's best authority on water development. Mulholland has declared that the Boulder Dam will not only save the valleys of the Southwest from floods, reclaim new kingdoms from the desert and give industry abundant from “a desperate danger of a domestic water shortage.” Engineers now are surveying for a water main over the desert between Lon Angeles and Las Vegas, the site of the proposed Boulder Canyon dam. This, says Mulholland, will bo capable of carrying water to Los Angeles and Southern California in quantities sufficient to remove the menace, now for the first time realized, of an actual water famine In the congseted region about this city. "We have provided for a population of two millions.” he said. "But this is t:.e dryest year on record. Not only has insufficient rain fallen in the valleys, but tha mountains havij a depth of only three feet of snow at the summit, where the usual depth i ten feet. “Los Angeles will have no shortage, but the orange groves probably will have to curtail Irrigation. “It took a threatened water shortage to scare us into our Owens River aqueduct. Perhaps this drouth is sent by divine Providence to hurry along the boulder dam project." Mulholland explained that the pow-r-r generated at the dam could be used to lift the water over the mountains. Gravity would bring it to the city He flays tho plan is feasible from an engineering standpoint and would enable water users to get plenty of water without an advance In present prices. ‘GODDESS’ QUITS WORK Girl Who Posed for 1876 Bland Dollar Retires as Educator.
