WASHINGTON, Feb. 20—Harry F. Sinclair will be called to the witness stand Monday in the oil scandal inquiry, Chairman Lenroot of the Teapot Dome committee announced today. The committee believes Sinclair “has the whole story” and they intend to make him tell it. Lenroot said he saw no reason for issuing an immediate subpoena for Sinclair who arrived in New York today. The chairman has been informed that Sinclair will communicate im I mediately with the committee and agree to appear on Monday. Senator Walsh, of Montana, the chief investigator had asked that Sinclair be met with an immediate subpoena as soon as he steps from the ship. Senator Adams, Colorado, Democrat, in Walsh’s absence, urged the subpoena be issued. “Mr. Sinclair says he is a busy man and I’m afraid he will think he is too busy to appear before the committee” Adams said. Walsh will return for the resumption of hearing Monday. Here is the evidence wanted from Sinclair: 1 Whether or not he loaned more than $25,000 to former Secretary of the interior Fall; whether he used money with any other person or persons for influence in connection with the leases. 2 What he knows about a $1,000,000 slush fund alleged to have been raised in New York through “big oil interests” to cover stock losses of several officials. 3 Whether or not he was ’blackmailed” by any one who has prior information regarding the sudden increase in wealth of Fall about the time the leases were made. The testimony of Sinclair is regarded as the crux of the government case and may vitally effect the criminal prosecutions in conemplation. Harry Payne Whitney, millionaire sportsman of New York, has informed Lenroot he will appear before the committee. Whitney owns a large block »( shares of the Mammoth Oil Company—the corporation undet* which Sinclair leased Teapot Dome. The committee has demanded production of certain of his books. Through “leaks” from the committee room the name of the senator alleged to have been found on the bookk of the Benkard brokerage concern in New York was disclosed. T. c. senator himself remains in seclusion and the committee has not seen fit to make the name public on its own authority. It is considered likely that he will soon ask permission to appear before the investigating committee and explain his speculations. Activities of the committee today were again behind closed doors.

DePAUW NOTES.
Prof. T. G. Yunker, head of the Botany Department, spoke at chapel this morning in his first appearance before the entire student body. He talked on the subject “Preservation of Wild Life.” He denounced the present day hunter and thoughtless person who kills or destroyes either the beauties of nature or animal life merely for an idle whim or pecuniary reward. In the class of quickly vanishing animals and plants he placed the seals, the squirrels, the holly and Christmas trees. In closing he read Alexander’s poem entitled, “Spare the Flowers” in which it summed up the botanist’s viewpoint as to the crime of the extermination , of nature’s wonderland by little think-1
ing people
Prof. John Beyl and Prof. Lester Mitchell were the speakers before the Press Club Tuesday evening in the journalism rooms of Middle College.

■^^HEN It comes to clothing
for
the little ones, the great problem to to keep the tiny body warm and yet not burden the child with garments of overweight. It Is not to be wondered at that every child’s wardrobe Is largely made up of things knitted, for mothers never yet have succeeded In finding for their little ones a worthy substitute for clothing made of woolen yarn. These days our Children glory In knitted array which, ♦hough machine made, nevertheless possesses exquisite finesse, Individual ■styles, and all the requirements of loveliness which mothers covet for
their children’s apparel.
Why consume time crocheting or knitting caps, bootees and sacks when aueh adorable sets as ttie picture suggests are available at a cost not much more than one must pay for the xephyrs it takes to make them? This particular little ensemble Is knitted •of blue zephyr yarn, having no decoration save the self zigzag stripe. The jacket and bootees tie with a knitted oird and the bonnet with a pretty blue
ribbons. Such a cunning slipover sweater as the older kiddie Is wearing ! It Is n style of unusual merit, tx>th as to quality and attractive design. Thei& are to be had in most every color combination, such as tan with brown, copen blue \\Kh gray or navy with red. The sweater in the picture is knitted of bright red with contrasting collar and cuffs of white. There are white woolly pompons finishing off the girdle and at the deep V neckline. It is not given to the elders to have ar exclusive right to the now so popular brushed wool garments, for youngsters, too, are wearing cunning sweater sets knitted with the same shaggy furlike effect. Of course the yard Is of the downiest fuzzy-wuzzy kind, and the finer outfits are featherweight, but infinitely warm and pleas-
ing to the touch.
Parke Dunbar has filed suit in the Putnam circuit court against Mrs. Caroline G, Randel, asking that a judgment which the court ordered paid to her against P. P. Stoner, be set aside in his favor. The amount involved is $450. Corwin and Gillen represent the plaintiff in the case.

MOTHER NOT TOLD INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 20.—Ignorant of the fact that her son, Rex Stacy, 23, died from wounds received in a gun battle with Louisville police, Mrs. Catherine Stacy today vainly sought for some word from her son. She has not been told of his death because she is in a serious condition with heart trouble and physicians fear the news might prove fatal to 1 her. A daughter, Mrs. Minnie Lucas, has gone to Louisville to arrange for the disposal of the body. Stacy and Hubert Wallace, of Frank lin, escaped from the state reformatory on January 12, and fled to Kentucky. A squad of police there attempted to arrest them. Stacy was mortally wounded and four policemen were al- 1 so wounded in the fight.
