Joephus Daniels, while Secre tary of the Navy under President Wilson, sefused lo allow these oil lands to be leased for explanation. He stoutly resisted any such con- templited action. "No explanation," the erotic Committee statement as serts.'' haa ever been made why these great deposits of oil here tofore held as' reserves for the oil burning ships of the navy and the Merchant Marine should be turn ed over to' private Interests for their exploitation. All experts are agreed that the best place to store the oil was in the grolind until such time as It should be -needed." The Democratic committee says. "Remember Teapot Dome, about which this newspaper had consid erable to say someXmonths ago? Leased by Secretary ""of the In terior Fall to the Sinclair Oil Com pany, 'thus giving up to private in terests of probably the . greatest reserve supply of fuel for the navy, caused an Inquiry to be started in the Senate by LaPollette and Ken drlck. The Inquiry was sidetrack ed at that time, but the - bene ficiaries seem bound to bring it down on themselves in due time. "Teapot Dome has now passed into control of the Mammoth Oil Company, a subsidiary of the Sin clair people, who are In turn sub sldiaries ef the Standard.

The announcement slates that wells flowing 10,000 to 20,800 bar rels the dny are being brought In from a depth of 1,600 feet: that the Salt Creek field, of which this is a part, la now capable of pro ducing 160,000 barrels per day from existing wells. A great pipe line la to oe built, and to crown all, a limited number of the 2,006, 000 shares is now being offered to the public. "These shares, of no par value, were thrown on the curb market of New York Monday, October 9. That same' afternoon the ahares, which had opened at 39, jumped to 43 and the next day to 45. "At 4f the outstanding shares of this one .corporation, having merely a lease on Teapot Dome they don't own it yet, mind you are worth on the market the not inconsiderable sum of $90,000,000! "There are those In Washington who intend to keen, their eyes on Teapot Dome." Senator Kendrlck charged that Secretary Kail executed the lease ( to the Mammoth Company in "a secret, non-competitive way," and declared' that the government had loHt between $15,000,000 and $20, 000,000 by reason of the low rate of royalties stipulated in the con- FOB CONSTIPATION BILIOUSNESS Headache INDIGESTION Stomach Trouble SOLD EVERYWHERE tract. Secretary Fall authorised a statement to be published In The Ronton Transcript by way of re Joinder to Senator Kendrlck. The reply that SeiTetsry Fall made to Senator Kendrlck a charge or ae ciery in the execution of the lease was.- "Numerous Interviews with the leading oil companies convinced Secretary Fall that Sinclair (pro moter of the Mammoth Company) was the only man in a position to make a suitable contract. This point nover lias hern undorstontl ami Secretary Fall haa neon too proud to explain It; hence tne charge that the contract was ne gotlated 'in secrecy." It was in the sense that the Secretary Fall did not advertise for bids. , Whether It Is Secretary Fall's In vincible pride that prevents the Senate Committee on Public Ijinds from sifting the charges and evi denne filed with It by Senator La Follette is not clear but the fact is that no action haa been taken notwithstanding the demands for an investigation. "Secretary Fall In his Interview with The Boston Transcript, de dared that be was "not function ing as Secretary of the Interior In the leasing of publlo oil lands un der the leasing act of February 25, 1920, but, by direction of the Pres ident, was administering a naval on reserve ror the rvavy Depart ment umler a wholly different set of laws." He did hot reveal what legal restriction deprived him of the right to make a competitive contract for the development of Teapot Dome reserve, or why the wnoie transaction was carefully concealed -from Congress and the public after the lease had been made and became binding on the government; and he failed like wise to Indicate what statute re quired that he let the Mammoth Company get control of the fields on a basis that Senator Kendrlck says is ao per cent below that of other leases In adjacent territory."
