SENATORS OPPOSE REOPENING PROBE OF RED RIVER OIL Charges Not New, Committee Report Says— Hoosiers Interested, By C. A. RANDAU, Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June s.—Advising against reopening the Red River oil controversy, the sub-committee directed to inquire into the Department of Justice charges against the measure has presented an oral report to the full public lands committee. Many Indiana residents are directly affected through oil investments. Senator Stansfield, chairman of the sub-committee, said testimony taken from W. W. Dyar of the Department of Justice had developed no new facts, and that the committee saw no reason for reversing the action of Congress. President Coolidge’s recent letter was based on charges contained in a letter from Dyar to the President. Coolidge Satisfied It is understood that President Coolidge is now fully satisfied with the turn of events, and that he informed Senators Watson, Stansfield and Harreld when they visited him that his letter had been a mere formality, he having taken Dyar's charges of corruption at their face value without inquiry. Should any further actlcrn be taken it will arise through the failure of the full committee to accept the report of the sub-committee. President Coolidge’s letter was obtained for publication today. It indicates that at the time he wrote it he thought a major violation of law -was involved. ''lie said, in part: Makes Strong Statement "I feel that this legislation creates a precedent tending to etfcourage a belief that private citizens and corporations may force the hand of the United States by invading lands closed by law to acquisition of exploration and reap substantially the same benefits as if the lands had been open to them from the beginning.” It was largely due. It is felt here, to Senator Watson’s influence that the question has been so effectively disposed of after such an unqualified communication from the President. *

Their launch hits rocks. Dorothy receives word that her husband s body, by his sea jacket, has been buried in Alaska. She feels free to receive Ishmin s attentions. Rut Peter had been rescued by another ship. His appearance is completely changed and he is known ns Limejuiee Pete. He finds his identity completely covered and takes a job in a cannery. Larson s body occupies his grave. Ishmin urg:es immediate marriag-e. Rut Dorothy feels a stronger attachment for her late husband as a result of a last letter sent with his few belongings. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY D 1 " - “ OROTHY was laying all she had on the altar of vanity. t—~ She might have been able to restrain Peter’s hard drinking if she had tried, if she had shown real interest. He never drank when he was alone with her—he did not even care for a cocktail before dinner — and at first he had not drunk dangerously to excess even with his men friends. This had only come after they had begun to fall away from each other, after Ivan—no one else —had come between. She knew perfectly that there was no happiness in thinking upon these things. The sensible course for her was to follow Ivan's advice, marry him, let him guide her steps down the shining path he promised, and play the gay game more desperately than ever. In the end this would be her destiny; she sensed it as certain. It was this that persuaded her to the amazing course that she unfolded to Ivan one night in late July, and which at first he refused to credit; nothing less than an expedition into w~ste-n Alaska with the purpose of finding her husband’s lost and neglected grave and transferring his remains to the dignified resting place in the old City cemetery and the Newhall family vault. Ivan’s attltucTe was at first uncompromising opposition. “Dorothy, that’s ridiculous,” he told her. “I won’t hear of It! A long, dangerous trip for nothing.”

She turned to him in amazement, vaguely offended rath* - than pleased at this solicitude for hi The look of his face baffled her; she idea had evidently moved him mu< li more profoundly than the occasion s'timed to justify. lie not only looked intent and determined, but almost desperate; there was a quick flash of a startled light in his eyes that she had never seen before. She was not pleased at his proprietary air, and she showed it. “YOU’VE GOT 'TO HAVE SOME ONE TO LOOK AFTER YOU.” He saw instantly that nothing was to be gained by violent opposition. His brilliant smile broke like the sunjight. “Let’s talk this matter over sensibly,” he urged. “I can Imagine how you feel—that you don’t like to think of his poor remains lying out there on that lonely, rocky, desolate beach. But Dorothy, remember he left a note asking for j immediate burial—lt was not his wish to be sent- home. He was buried decently—embalmed, the ship captain wired you. Besides, you don’t realize the difficulty of the trip. If you feel you must have poor Peter’s body here, with his father’s.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
why don't you hire men and have them tend to -ft. and you stay safe at home?” I "Let nte explain,” the girl answered. her good humor at once returned. “I want to say in the beginning that I do feel I must have poor Peter buried here, beside his father and his father’s father—those distinguished men that headed the line. Ivan, there is something primitive in me in this regard; I want my own near me, where I can look after him, and do what I can for his memory. It's a human instinct, Ivan; and I hope it doesn’t grate on your sensibilities. It's a real need in me. and I have to do it. Peter’s crime against Sarichef was wiped out with his death; there Is no reason why he should not lie with the other New halls, as is his right. You ask why I don't have someone tend to it for me. Well, there are a good many reasons. The first is that it Is my place and my right. In the second, I don't want desecrating hands at work at that grave—rough, wicked men who will say anything, do anything. At first I was willing to have it done that way, and three months or more ago I -wrote to the postmaster at False Pass, and had him engage men and boats and go and procure the casket. I’ve just learned that after great cost and many delays they have returned without finding the grave. They explained that they couldn’t get hold of any of the skip’s crew that had buried it. and they say that the country is simply immense.” “And they’re right in that,” Ivan observed. “The work needs the presence and supervision of someAme who is really Interested,” the girl went on. “I’m not sorry they didn’t find it. Since I wrote the letter I've decided J t was my place and duty to see about this personally—to se t e that it’s done right all the way through. As long as 1 have this feeling of duty unperformed—duty to Peter — I can’t go to you. It’s as If I am still bound to him —as long as he lies out there an that beach —but perhaps, when we come back again, everything can be as you want it be.” Ivafi was not In the least convinced; but realizing that he could not possibly dissuade the girl from her bold project, he prepared*, to make the best of it. “Well, in spite of a dozen reasons why I should stay here—concerts, business, everything—l’m going with you,” he told her. “You’ve got to have someone to- look after you.” “I'm geing to ask Uncle Ned to got Mother’s health, as you know, won’t let her take a trip.

it would be wonderful if you would kq too.” Later they consulted schedules and travel bureaus, and after endless investigation concluded that their best pldn was to take one of the large Pacific American Fisheries steamers out of Bellingham, Washington; go to in the Shumagin Islands, and there hire a launch and guides to go the rest of the way to the place of burial cn the north side of the Peninsula. Squaw Harbor not only seemed among the nearest settlements of any importance—far though it was —but Ivan wisely decided that because It had been the home port oT lhe Jupiter, he could likely fir.d men available who knew the approximate' place of burial. Thus it was that Aleck Bradford, superintendent of the cannery at Squaw Harbor, received the following letter: Mrs. Peter Newhall, her uncle, Ned Stanhope, and myself are planning an expedition onto the North Coast of the Peninsula with the idea of exhuming the body of Peter Newhall, whom you will remember was a victim of the wreck of your launch the Jupiter, and bringing the remains back to the family vault in this city. Our plan is to take one of the Pacific American Fisheries boats to your cannery, and there, with your cooperation, we will hire a launch to transport us the rest of the way to the scene of the tragedy. If you can help us in procuring a launch and suitable crew, also in engaging men who might know the location of the grave, it will be deeply appreciated by Mrs. Newhall and myself. Yours very truly, IVAN ISHMIN. Bradford called his assistant, De Long, and they thought upon the matter together. “The tough part of It is, by the time we can get a wire to them, they’ll have to rush to catch the last boat,” Bradford said, glancing at his calendar. “The Catherine D sails early in September —they can make It if they get a move on—but how are they going to get back? Os course the Catherine will be hack for the winter in Bellingham before they can encircle the Peninsula, find the casket and get back here in a launch. De Long grinned cheerfully. “She probably hasn’t the least Idea what kind of a hard-boiled land this is.” He knitted his heavy brows. “It will be easy about getting out, though. You know we’ge scheduled to send the Warrior down to Seward this fall, on that new trap business. You've scheduled her to-leave about

the end of the fish season. Well, we’ll have her wait for the Catherine. and these three people can get on her —the lady can occupy one of the officer’s rooms —Martin’s I guess, and Martin will have to bunk in the hold. Then they can start out, and the Warrior can take time to run around the Peninsula, pick up the casket, and go on down to Seward. At Seward they can transfer tJ one of the Admiral Line boats for Seattle.” “That’s easy enough; perfect, in fact. They can go down to Seward, you and I and the others down to Seattle on the Catherine, without having to delay the schedule waiting for them to return. The matter of getting suitable ipen for guides and camp help is not quite so easy, but I believe. I’ve got that, also. Fortune Joe Is a good native—he’ll be glad of the chance to make some money —and he’s a good worker." De Long grinned. “The medicine man.eh? They hay need a medicine man before they get back. Yes, he’s a good one—for one. Os course he doesn’t know the location of the body.” ‘‘No. For the other packer—they'll need at least two, especially if they don't find the grave for some days—they can have their choice of Buck Uman, Dago Sessa,

or Nick Pavlof. Buck Uman Is honest, but he’s the laziest native that walks. Sessa is given to violent spells when he’s apt to toss around his knife, and Pavlof ..thinks he’s a priest. I don’t know which two of the three axe the worst,” “But not one of the three you mentioned, Aleck, knows where the body lies. We’ve got to get someone of Captain Johansen’s crew for their main guide.” “And Captain Johansen and his crew ha,ve pulled out for Bellingham not to return until next season, and besides, the original burial party Is scattered to the four winds. Jacks, the apprentice undertaker, is In Siberia. But De Long, I’ve got It. Send one of the papooses down tOj the docks and tell Limejuiee Pete to come up here.” In a few moments Pete’s lean form stood in the doorway. (Continued in Our Next Issue.)
