Although nowhere in the booklet is there any reference indicating that it might be compiled by Doheny’s oil company, the Pan-American Petroleum and Trasport Company, the reporters soon discovered that apparently la the case.

for the convenience of the press by (|)Borge G. Hill. Hill has been doing publicity work for oil interests for some time. Press Doubts On the surface the pamphlet appears to contain much Information that would prove of value to the various correspondents covering the trial. But discerning reporters weren’t long In ascertaining that some of the “facts and figures" are not so valuable as Mr.) Hill would make believe. Early in the pamphlet, Hill refers to the now famous transaction In which Edward L. Doheny claims to have loaned former Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall SIOO,OOO in 1921. The government claims this money was paid to fall as a bribe to obtain the Elk Hills naval oil lease, but Doheny insists there was no such connection and that he gave Fall the money as a pex-sonal loan. Hill says that during the special Senate investigation in JanuaryFebruary, 1924, question having arisen as to where Fall procured the SIOO,OOO used to purchase a ranch iw-New Mexico that Doheny “came voluntarily before the public lands committee and testified that he had loaned that amount to Fall, who was a very old friend.” Facts Missing Hill neglects to state that this socalled “voluntary appearance" by Doheny came seven weeks after the oil man had first appeared before the committee and failed to even mention the so-called loan. Doheny first appeared as a witness before the committee on Dec. 3, 1923, but it was not until his second appearance on Jan. 24, 1924, that he admitted anything concerning the SIOO,OOO loan. <? n the occasion of his first appearance no testimony had yet been given indicating that Fall ever had received SIOO,OOO, but in the interim Senator Thomas J. Walsh heard of Fall’s receiving a large sum of money from some source. It wasn’t until then that Doheny made hla "voluntary" appearance. Omits Admission Describing the contract entered into between the Government and the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Company for lease of the Elk Hills naval oil reservo and construction of storage tanks at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the pamphlet states it was made on competitive bidding. It neglects, however, to bring out the admission which Senator Walsh elicited from Doheny that no other bidder was offered a preference right for additional leases on the reserve such as was granted to bis company. 'The booklet also fails to state that the indictments against Doheny and Fall charge the contract for purchase of royalty oil and leasing of the Government reserve was made “without competitive bidding, in a crafty, deceitful, secret and surreptitious manner, etc.” Is Example Issuance of the “facts and figures" booklet recalls another example of how press agent machinery operates in connection with the oil cases. When the civil suits involving legality of the Teapot Dome lease to Harry F. Sinclair were being tried at Cheyenne, newspapers all over the country received pictures for publication purposes showing the Federal building, the Sinclair coun-

sel, Judge Kennedy and o.her figures in the case. Accompanying the pictures was a story painting Sinclair in glowing colors; the action of Secretary Fall as entirely Justified, and the Government’s prosecution as “unconvincing.” When the trial at Cheyenne was in progress forty rooms were occupied by the Sinclair retinue. Planted in the courtroom was a large corps of advisers and publicity men. Apparently Wyoming city, with Its relatively few reporters, welcomed the assistance these obliging young men were able to give them. In Washington, with its army of experienced newspaper men, however, there is apt to be a different story. Many of the correspondents won’t swallow oven the sugar-coated publicity bite without a little thinking of their own.
