DOHENYFUTURE MAY HINUE ON SINCLAIR TRIAL Sentiment May Veer Against Oil King When He Goes Before Court Again. BY RUTH FINNEY WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. Although Edward L. Doheny, Los Angeles oil millionaire, is not a defendant in the trial of the naval oil conspiracy case that opens here Monday, its outcome vitally may affect hi&_future freedom. Doheny is not free of all criminal charges growing out of the oil scandals and within the next few months must go to on trial again with Albert B. Fall on a charge of bribery. When Doheny was acquitted on the conspiracy charge a year ago there was some feeling manifested that the % second oil millionaire, Harry F. Sinclair, should not be punished if Doheny was to escape. Since then the court have determined Dohehy must stand trial on bribery charges. This makes it possible for public opinion, by way of a jury, to mete out punishment to the two men alike, if it finds them deserving of punishment. If Sinclair is found guilty, the same Reeling which was unwilling to punish him after Doheny was acquitted probably will incline toward conviction and punishment for Doheny when he again stands before the bar. After a District of Columbia jury had expressed its belief that the SIOO,OOO little black bag transaction between Fall and Doheny was an innocent one, the Supreme Court of the United States said of this same transaction: “The facts and circumstances disclosed by the record show clearly that the interest and influence Qf Fall, as well as his official actiori, were secured corruptly by Doheny for the making of the contracts and lease* . . , and that the consummation of the transaction was brought about by means of collusion and corrupt conspiracy between Fall and Doheny.” Hits “Loan” Transaction The court amplified by saying of the SIOO,OOO “loan” from Doheny to Fall: “No entry of the advance was made in the accounts of Doheny or the petitioners. Nothing has been paid on account of principal or interest. “At that time it was understood between Doheny and Fall that the latter need not repay it in kind. A few weeks after it was given, Doheny tore Fall’s signature off the note, so that it would not be enforceable in the hands of others.” Doheny comes in for a share of attention again in the scorching opinion just handed down by the Supreme Court, canceling Teapot Dome lease as fraudulent.

Rat Raids on Treasury Bring Cure Even Worse By United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—T0 the rats infesting the Treasury building was added anew nuisance, as self-proclaimed Pied Pipers offered their services to encompass the rodents’ destruction. Treasury men said they didn’t know which was worse, the rats or the pipers. The latter, attracted by newspaper reports of the rat menace, have swarmed the treasury corridors, offering suggestions. The most logical so far is: "Mix sawdust with bacon or ham fat and spread it on the spots frequented by the rats. They’ll eat the sawdust to get the bacon fat, the sawdust won’t digest and the rats will die.” But the recipe has a flaw in it, according to treasury employes, for where, they ask, will the rats die? There are certain sacrosanct areas in such a rich public building as the treasury where the rat deaths would be distinctly out of place—as instance the drain pipes. Chief Clerk F. A. Birgfeld, who, after all, must decide the matter, is keeping an eye out for Government economy. “We’ve been killing rats here for ten years by old-fashioned methods and I guess we can keep on the same way.”

MAINE STIRRED BY POWER WAR Governor Brewster Leading Bitter Fight. PORTLAND, Me., Oct. 14.—1 - , mediate future of the Maine water power fight lies in the hand* of Governor Ralph O. Brewster. Consistently opposed to the wishes of the power interests throughout his political career, he now is seekking to effect a compro- ¥ mise. It is possible he will call a spe->; cial session of the Legislature, at which he will propose a so-called-. New England compact, under whichMaine hydroelectricity, could be.-, shipped out of the State, subject torecall at any future ime. iv The compact would in some ways" resemble the Boulder dam treaty, which Western States long have sought to effect in relation to the Colorado River water power. The compact is opposed by ex*, Governor Percival P. Baxter, who has led the Maine water power fight for eighteen years, on grounds that once Maine power is exported it will become an interstate commodity, .subjest to Federal jurisdiction. Few Governors anywhere have •< had more stormy regimes tlian BYewster. Like Baxter, he is fighter and like Baxter he regards recent power developments in Maine . with suspicion. And like Baxter he believes that , water power will be the principal . issue in Maine politics for year*, to come and that water power eventually must become a chief issue in national politics.
