Committee VIII Wait Until
After Convention.

Washington. June 5-The senate
committee investigating campaign ex-
penditures today adjourned until
July 9.
Chairman Kenyon, after a consulta-
ton with members of the committee,
said all witnesses still unheard would
be called at that time. It was the
decision of the committee that no
more work could be done until after
the Republican and Democratic ma
tional conventions.
Colonel Green was called to tell
what he knew about the selection of
delegates from Texas to the Repub-
.lican national convention. He said he
had contributed money to the mixed"
faction of black and white Republi-
cans in Texas, but denied he was
working for General Wood or any
other presidential candidate. Chair
man Kenyon announced that William
Loeb jr who collected $225,000 for
the Wood campaign; Alfred ]. Green
baum. treasurer of the Hiram John
son campaign organization in Cali
fornia, and several witnesses from
Missouri. had not responded to COM
mittec summons.
''I do not think that any inferences
should be drawn from any of these
facts" he said. because here may be
reasonable excuse in every case and
possibly the actual subpoena did not
reach any of the men"
Colonel Green told the committee
he had gotten interested in a fight be-
tween what I'VE called the regular
Republicans and the lily white group"
II was a regular" he said. "and was
elected as a delegate to the national
convention"
Chairman Kenyon asked whom the
delegation he presents would support.
They are a little bit for every
body" Colonel Green answered. De-
claring that three sets of Texas dele
gates were in Chicago. the witness
said that "if they had had more time
they would have split some more"

The under payment of apprentices

and if every one of them does not

Stanley and Mulvane forces.
Mulvane was in conference today
with Governor Allen relative to dele
cations organizations. 1t is proba BILE
that the governor will urge the selec-
ton of William Allen White for Kan
sas member of the resolutions COM
mittee.
White is a stickler for the Allen in
dustrial program and has declared he
will vote for the governor for presi-
dent on every ballot.
Col. Fred Fitzpatrick of Salina, is
slated for secretary of the delegation,
while Frank Sponable, Paola banker,
will doubtless be the Kansas member
of the credentials committee.
The organization will be formed
Monday. Friends of Fred Stanley as
serted today that the Wichita man
would have twelve to fourteen votes
for reelection. On the other hand.
Mulvane supporters claim twelve flat
pledges for the Topekan.
Governor Allen is going to the coun-
try tonight. He will spend Sunday
writing his Wood nominating speech.
Press representatives were advised to-
day that the speech would be COM
pleted Sunday night or Monday.
Kansans in the hotel lobbies today
gave their greatest concern to the al
lignent of the delegation on roll-calls
in the national convention. Senator
George w. Kanaval of the Eighth dis
trict, has expressed a preference for
Harding, but may consent to vote for
Wood on early ballots IL the delega-
ton should follow requests of Cover
nor Allen.
Friends of Wood here today are
confident they would control a safe
majority of the delegation for the gen.
eral thruout the balloting.

Galveston, Tex, June 5.-Movement
Of state troops into Galveston for

tant General Cope this morning when
he declared city authorities promised
work on the water front will be re-

So far as could be learned no or

OIL COMPANY Wins
Willard Petroleum and H. G..
West ExOnerated From Blame.
Acted Within Rights, Judge Nc
Clure Holds Today.

The Willard Petroleum company
and H. G. West, president of the
Farmers National bank, trustee, were
exonerated from blame today by Judge
James A. Mcclure when he rendered
his decision in the case brought by
Thomas Highfill, of Atchison. on the
behalf of several unit holders, charg-
ing West and NJ c. Willard with fraud.
The bank had asked permission to
withdraw as trustee and this permis-
sion was granted by Judge Mcclure.
who suggested that the bank call a
meeting of the unit holders within
twenty days for the election of new
trustee.
The court held that the bank was
within it's rights under the trust agree
ment in paying the moneys to Willard
and that Willard was within his rights
in accepting them. The fact that the
money amounted to $42,365.69 could
not in itself be regarded as evidence of
fraud. the court held.
Judge Mcclure pointed out that the
trust agreement gave West broad
powers and expressed the opinion that
the transactions were consummated
in what at that time appeared to be
for the best interests of the unit hold
ers.
Judge Mcclure did not act upon the
suggestion that he appoint a receiver,
pointing out that this would be only a.
temporary remedy for a continuing ill,
which the unit holders would have to
meet again in the future. The unit
holders themselves. rather than the
court, he said, should determine who
should manage their property and act
as their trustee. In line with this he
recommended a meeting be called
within twenty days for this purpose.
