Roosevelt Says Fall Issued Orders (Continued From Page 1) - y supposed to know something of the story told by Leonard Wood Jr. One was for Harry MacKenzie of the campaign headquarters of President Coolidge at Chicago. w Lejune revealed also the Governor of Wyoming had protested to the President and Senator Walsh immediately started a search for this protest, which had heretofore been suppressed. After Lejune had briefly related how he took instructions ft Tn Fall concerning what the Marines were to do and how he sent Maj. George K. Shuler, with a squad of Marines, Roosevelt took the stand. “Can you add any further,light to this jitory of sending the Marines to Teapot Doraet” Walsh asked. “On July 29 I found a message from Secretary Fall asking me to ctmfer with him. He told me there were squatters on Teapot Dome preparing to take out oil. He said he and the President wanted them removed. He added he had looked up the legal phases of it and # that it was all right and that Secretary Daniels had previously done something like that. President First Objected “Fall said the President first objected to sending Marines because he had a frienu who didn’t want it done, but later the President agreed.” “The Marines were sent by General Lejune," Roue-valt con tinued, “and that is all that I know about the ease.” Denby was away at the time, Roosevelt added in answer to a question by Kendrick. “I told the President about sending Shuler at the Cabinet meeting following that,” Roosevelt testified. “I think he just said 'good’ and didn’t ask any more about the matter.” Walsh then read a letter from George Christian Jr. to Secretary .Fall inclosing a protest from 11. 11. Tammen of the Denver Post against the use of Marines. Tammen described the Teapot Dome affair as “a good deal of a mess.” Associated in Big Deal Tammen was associated with E. G. Bonfil of the Denver Post in a deal with Harry Sinclair, whereby a million and a half dollars was obtained from Harry F. Sinclair for claims in Teapot Dome.

Major General Lejune testified: “We were told by Marine Major George K. Shuler of ejecting trespassers on Teapot Dome in August, 1922,” Walsh said. “Will you explain that?” "On the afternoon of July 29, 1922, Colonel Roosevelt sent for me and told me to send an officer and a few marines to Caaper, Wyo., to eject squattegs,” Lejune said. ‘‘He suggested I get the details from the Secretary of the Interior,” Captain Shuler Is Chosen Lejune said after seeing Fall he chose Capt. George K. Shuler for the assignment. Shuler, he said, he believed a man of tact and discretion. "Shuler left about 10 p. m. and I later got a telegram from him saying he had arrived at Cheyenne with four marines,” Lejune continued. "Shuler, of course, had previously seen Secretary of Interior Fall and obtained instructions from him on how to proceed. • ‘‘Shuler was ordered to return to Washington on Aug. 15. On his return he made an official report. A letter was received from the Secretary of the Interio? and Secretary of the Navy commending Shuler for his action in dispossessing the squatt irß. ‘‘Shuler testified on Dec. 4 he saw Fall and related a conversation with President Harding in which Mr. Harding was quoted as saying ‘a friend’ had opposed sending the Marines. Shuler quoted Fall as saying ‘your friend, Mr. President, is a ” While Mr. Harding at first opposed sending the Marines, he later consented. Walsh then asked Lejune what Fall hl told him about conditions at Teapot Dome. The Marine chief answered that Fall had told him squatters were removing oil and he wanted the land protected.
