OPEN FIGHT TO BAR SINCLAIR SENATESTORY * 1 . * [judge Excuses Jury Until Monday Pending Decision on Testimony. ATTACK ‘DRAINAGE’ FEAR Geologists Called to Show Teapot in No Danger of Losing Oil. BY HERBERT LITTLE United Press StaS Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Harry p. Sinclair’s statement to the Senate oil committee Dec. 4, 1923, that “I went to Three Rivers, N. M., to discuss with (former Secretary of Interior) Fall the leasing of Teapot Dome” arose to plague both men today in their conspiracy trial here. The Government tried to introduce the statement in court to prove that a plot for Fall to lease the naval oil reserve to Sinclair started as early as Jan. 1, 1922, when Sinclair visited Fall’s ranch. Excuse Jury Until Monday Defense lawyers immediately objected that Sinclair’s testimony to the Senate was given involuntarily and could not be held against him now. So involved and lengthy did the discussion threaten to become that Justice Siddons at the noon recess excused the jury until Monday, giving the attorneys time for arguments this afternoon. The court indicated it might not rule until Monday on the admissibility of Sin-. Clair’s 1923 testimony. The wrangle over this point came after both sides had struck telling counterblows. Answering the Government’s contention that Fall practiced secrecy and favoritism in granting the lease to Sinclair, the defense read a letter Fall wrote the late Senator Robert M. La Follette, Republican, Wisconsin, father of the Senate oil lease investigation. The letter dated five days after the Teapot lease was signed, said “there was no objection to widest publicity.” Strike at Drainage Fear No sooner had the letter been read in court than the Government produced two witnesses to strike at the defense position that Fall leased Teapot to Sinclair out of patriotic motoives, to save the Navy’s oil from drainage because of drilling in the adjacent Salt Creek wells. George Otis Smith, United States geological survey director, told of a conference with Fall, on Oct. 26, 1921, as a result of which K. C. Heald was assigned to investigate the drainage situation. Heald reported, Smith said, that the main body of Teapot was in no danger. Heald gave supporting testimony. Geologists Are Heard Smith told of a conference late in 1921 with Fall, at which time K. C. Heald was assigned to survey oil fields. Heald later reported he had visited Teapot Dome and checked Up the situation, Smith said. Smith, at request of Owen Roberts, government lawyer, then gave the jury a little lecture on the underground rock structure of “Teapot Dome”—which, he said, resembled a teapot in no way. The name was given as a result of a teapot shaped rock structure on the surface. Heald reported there was no danger of the Teapot Dome oil structure being drained, but there was some danger of drainage of the northern part of the reserve by the Salt Creek wells to the north, Smith said. Northern Pool Separate It was then brought out that the northern part pf the reserve contained an oil pool separate from the main pool. This testimony was important, as the Government seeks to show there was no necessity for drilling Teapot Dome at that time to save its oil. “Did Secretary Fall ever call on you for advice after that time?” Roberts asked. “No,” Smith replied. Roberts read a Nov. 30, 1921, memorandum of Heald, recommending against leasing the entire dome because of feared drainage. On cross-examination Smith said his first conference with Secretary Fall was held Oct. 26, 1921. Heald Is Questioned Smith withstood a score of defense attempts to shake his testimony on technical grounds. William Leahy, defense attorney, did succeed, however, in eliciting that Smith did not pass on accuracy of the Heald report, but merely handed it on to Fall. Smith was excused and Heald, a dark young man with tortoise shell glasses, was called. He said he was now with the Gulf Oil and Gas Company, Pittsburgh, and was chief technologist of the United States Geological Survey in 1920 and 1921.

Em Is Wise She’s Good and Careful, in Addition, So She Wears Free Fur Coat.

B.U United Press r— —|EW YORK, Oct. 21.—Emily IN O’Keefe was just 17, and I* 2 I when she started dealing them off Jhe arm in a downtown lunch she was warned to be good and careful—especially regarding middle-aged and amorous business men. She was good, careful, and made it pay. Emily is 19 now and still has the coat, which ought to be good for a season or two yet. But that is getting ahead of the story. His name was Powers and he was a furrier. “Would you like a fur coat? Come to my office at 471 Fifth Ave. at 4 o’clock,” read the note he slipped to her between the tomato salad and the coffee. Emily should have given him a disdainful look, of course, and thrown the note in with the soiled napkins. All the story books prescribe that. But Emily reads the New Yorker and knows her tomato salads. • • • went to the furrier’s p i office. She tried on coats. . —J She fell in love with a beautiful one priced at SSOO. “It’s yours,” said Powers, and whispered in her ear. “Sir, how dare you?” gasped Emily and started for the door. In her indignation she forgot to remove the coat. Powers told the police she had stolen it. She told the district attorney her story and the charge was dropped. So, naturally, Emily started suit for sso,ooo—of which $25,000 was for false arrest and $25,000 because she said Powers made advances to her. A jury yesterday awarded her 6 cents for slander because powers said she stole the coat and nothing for the alleged advances. And, as was pointed out previously, Emily still has the coat.

FETE IS im TO RUTH ELDER Air Heroine Has Strenuous Day at Island. (By Wireless United Press) ABOARD THE STEAMSHIP LIMA, AT SEA, Oct. 21.—Following the most strenuous day since the Lima left Horta, Ruth Elder retired last night at 7 o’clock, completely exhausted. Miss Elder declared she had thoroughly enjoyed her visit to Ponta Del Gada, particularly her luncheon at the consulate, where among the guests was the exiled former President of Portugal, Gomez Costa. Bad weather prevented them from visiting the famous Thermal Springs, one of the show places of the Island of St. Michael’s. ‘AD’ BIDJALKS CITY Attorney Asked to Settle Legal Matters. The board of works today delayed awarding a contract to print legal advertising in the Indianapolis Commercial pending receipt of an opinion from City Attorney John K. Ruckelshause and the State board of accounts. The board advertised in the Commercial for bids on advertising for the coming year. The Commercial substituted the only bid which was 10 cents an agate line „for a oneyear contract. On a two-year basis the rate was 7 cents. John W. Friday, Democratic member, who has interested himself in the advertising matter, was unable to explain the reason for the increase. Ruckelshau swill give an opinion on whether the board is to follow the 1927 statute providing that advertising shall appear in two newspapers of different political faith. Publication of advertising in two papers would double the cost to the city. The expenditure totals about $20,000 a year, it is said.

SILAS BENT, IN CENTURY MAGAZINE, LAUDS SCRIPPS-HOWARD NEWSPAPERS

r=ra HY are the Scripps-Howard W newspapers? vy Silas Bent, well-known writer, asks this question and undertakes to answer it, in the November issue of the Century Magazine, on the news-stands today. Some of his findings are extremely interesting. He starts his story with Roy W. Howard, an Indianapolis product, “former newsboy, now chairman of the Scripps-Howard papers and part owner of the news agency,” sitting beside President Coolidge at the dinner celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the United Press, and hearing the latter organization described as “a world power, influential beyond the dream of any of its founders.”

EARL CARROLL ON WAY HOME, SMILES GONE

Paroled Producer Goes Back to a Broadway Greatly Changed for Him. ENJOYS OLD LUXURIES Sleeps Late and Then Has Breakfast in Bed on First Free Day. BY E. W. LEWIS United Press Staff Correspondent ATLANTA, Ga„ Oct. 21.—Tired of “being made to get up at 6 o’clock,” Earl Carrol slept late today for the first time since he came here four months ago. About 9 o’clock, the producer, paroled from the penitentiary last night, had his breakfast in bed. Later he was to pose for photographers and leaves for New York on the Crescent limited at 12:50 p. m. “I am tired of being made to get up at 6 a. m.,” the ‘bathtub party’ host said on reaching his hotel last night. “I am tired of being told when to eat, and having to eat what they gave me to eat.” Not the Same Man Before Carroll left for the North with his brother, wife and sister, he planned to meet several theatrical people now appearing in Atlanta. It is not the same Earl Carroll returning who lent lustre to the Great White Way. It is an unsmiling, saddened young man with an appeal in his eyes, a sensitive heap who admits he cringes at thought of being called an ex-con-vict. This -new Earl Carroll is returning to New York’s merry maelstrom heavily encumbered with parole stipulations. Broadway will be unable to tinkle cracked ice and champagne in greeting its producer of daring revues, for Earl must not resume his role of carefree playboy of the theatrical district. There can be no repetitions of the “bathtub party,” which was indirectly responsible for his being sent to Atlanta Penitentiary for a year and a day as a perjurer. Feels Like Rip Van Winkle “I feel like Rip Van Winkle,” Carroll said. “I don’t think I’ll go back to Broadway, actively, just yet. The parole came so suddenly I’ve had scarcely time to think.” Carroll said he probably would beccome interested in producing again. As he talked, reporters noted his voice seemed to be pleading for sympathy. “I am sensitive—extremely soever the fact that I am an ex-con-vict—regardless of the right or wrong of my conviction. Get this, gentlemen, I am not whining,” he repeated the last phrase several times. “Some of my friends out there gave me keepsakes—desk sets, fountain penholders and the like. But I don’t want to keep them. I don’t want to have a single rmeinder of prison life.” At the hotel he met his attractive French wife. “O darling!” Mrs. Carroll cried as her husband hastened up the corridor to the suite where she and other relatives were awaiting him. After the interview with reporters, Carroll gave out a statement, written in prison while awaiting the arrival of parole papers. Feels Great Humiliation “For more than six months I have been a prisoner,” the statement said. "During every moment within this grim penitentiary, I have experienced a common heartache with thousands of other men here. My constant companion has been a great shadow of humiliation, a heavy sense of moral degradation and I find it most difficult to express my emotions without having them misconstrued for self pity. “Those who felt that I should be severely punished may rest positive in the assurance that I have suffered, that I have undergone an irreparable loss of self respect, a realization of unworthiness such as each and every man feels when the door of a prison clangs behind him.”

He tells of the growth of the United Press from a staff of twelve persons, including the office boy, into a service in seventeen languages, for newspapers in thirty-eight ountries, with twen-ty-eight foreign and thirty-six American bureaus, using more than 100,000 miles of leased wire and presenting its dispatches to 20,000,000 American readers.

City Girl’s Photo Wins Proposal

——■ USTRALIA Is far, far away—but not too far away for a pretty A girl’s charms to travel. In this case the charms traveled via a picture in The Indianapolis Times. The pretty girl was Miss Helen Raftery, 1604 Woodlawn Ave. Miss Raftery was entered in The Times-Circle Theater Opportunity contest last spring and her picture appeared in The Times May 30. It seems that that day an automobile salemans friend of Desmond Carr of Sidney, Australia, was in Indianapolis for the 500-mile Speedway race and sent Desmond, also interested in autos and races, a copy of The Times, so Desmond might know all about the race here. But judging from results, Desmond forgot all auto races when he perused the paper. Anyway, Miss Raftery got a letter from his this week. A two-page epistle, his picture inclosed, asking that she write in return and all but offering immediate marriage. “It was a nice letter,” said Miss Raftery; “but I’m not quite thinking of living in Australia.” She forgot to mention whether she answered the letter.

PRINCE CAROL QUITS CHARTER Plans Return to Rumania for Political Career. * Bu Times Special _ , _ , . PARIS, Oct. 21.—Prince Carol of Rumania has abandoned Mme. Lupescu, for whom he went into exile, in hope, that he may return home and go into politics under his baby son’s regime, the newspaper Midi said today. It had been rumored that Carol had left the fascinating Mme. Lupescu. The Midi claimed to have confirmed the rumors, and to have found that an appeal by the Rumanian peasant party caused Carol to end the friendship. The newspaper said the peasant party had held out strong hope to Carol that he might be permitted to return to Rumania and take an important part in politics if he ended an attachment regarded as so scandalous by the Rumanian court that he was forced to renounce his rights to the throne.

AID OF BIRGER DIES BY NOOSE Montenegrin Gangster Says He Was Law’s Goat. MARION, HI., Oct. 21—Illinois today took the life of Rado Millich, first of the notorious machine gun Birger gangsters to reach the gallows. The swarthy, illiterate Montenegrin, who insisted to the end that he killed in self-defense, went to his death at 10:05, asserting he had been made the “goat.” He was convicted of slaying Ward Jones, erstwhile fellow gangster and barkeeper at the Birger hide-out and stronghold, “Shady Rest.” “They just took a notion they had to hang somebody because of this gang war,” the condemned man said in a final statement, dictated shortly before Sheriff Oren Coleman of Williamson County ordered the death trap sprung. Millich’s execution followed futile efforts by defense attorneys to obtain a stay of sentence. Governor Len Small refused a reprieve and the courts declined to act. ’ GLOBE FLIER IS DOWN German Aviator and Passenger Reported in Crash.

REMUS PROBES U. S. RECORDS Evidence of Death Plot Is Sought in Washington. Bn United Press „ WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—Defense prosecution attorneys in the George Remus murder case at Cincinnati delved today into Department of Justice records to ascertain whether there was support for Remus’ story of a death plot against him which led to his killing his wife. Charles Elston and Carl E. Basler, the Cincinnati searchers, conferred with Oscar Luhring, assistant attorney general, as to whether the department records subsequntly should be subpoenaed for use in the trial. The justice files were supposed to contain reports of Thomas Wilcox, Detroit agent, on investiggtion of Remup’ story of a $20,000 p\yment to have him killed. Remus has asserted that his wife and Franklin Dodge, a former dry investigator, were interested in seeing him out of the way. Dodge was prsent today, “to see that no one puts anything over on me.” The justice department’s interest in the alleged conspiracy was said to have arisen from the fact that Remus was to be a Government witness in the Jack Daniel liquor conspiracy case.
