SENATE PROBE OF SALT GREEK OPENSMAYI6 Former Member of Wilson Cabinet Called for Oil Quiz. BY DEXTER I\J. KEEZRR WASHINGTON, May 10.—The Public Lands, Committee investigation of the Salt Creek, Wyoming, oil field, recently ordered by the Senate is scheduled to open next Wednesday with John Barton Payne, interior secretary during the last year of the Wilson administration, and Robert C. Bell, who was special assistant to Attorney General Mitchell Palmer, on the witness stand. About half of the leases of Government oil lands in the Salt Creek field, which the Senate committee has been ordered to investigate, were approved by Payne who is now head of the American Red Cross. Bell, who made an investigation of the applications for Salt Creek leases for the justice department, charged that many of them, which were subsequently approved by the interior department, were “Saturated with fraud.” The Salt Creek field, adjacent to the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve, is composed almost exclusively of

Government lands leased under the terms of the Federal Leasing Act of 1920. Os the leases attacked by Bell as based on fradulent claims, about half were approved by Payne and most of the others by former Interior Secretary Fall. Chairman Nye of the Public Lands Committee said today that if the testimony to be presented Wednesday seems to warrant an extensive investigation of the Salt Creek field, a sub-committee will be appointed to act during the summer recess. ‘BOXING PINNERS’ ARE NOW FASHION IN PARIS Between Course Bouts Feature ‘ Smart Banquet. PARIS, May 11.—The boxing dinner, with three-round bouts between each course, has been introduced in Paris to supplant the tea-dance and dinner-dance. The first boxing dinner had a fashionable Franco-American attendance, with the tables occupying ringside seats. Between the soup and fish, two stalwart battled barefisted to impersonate the earliest matches of modern boxing history. Between the fish and roast, two heavies impersonated Jim Jeffries and Bob Fitzsimmons. With the vegetables came a battle royal, with five Negroes impersonating the greatest fighters of the black race, Jack Johnson, Sam McVey. Battling Siki, Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette. With the champagne and ices came a gentleman’s combat.
