WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The
United States coal commission, under
the leadership Of John Hays Ham
mond, has launched its "fact-finding"
inquiry into the coal industry, with
every available resource of the Gov
eminent at its disposal.
The results of totty-three years Of
research and study Of the coal INDUS
try by the Department Of the Interior
have been rendered to the commission
by Acting Secretary Finney, who lie
clared in a letter to Hammond that
the geological survey and the bureau
of mines have studied our coal indus

ton thus far, that involving the lease
of Teapot Dome naval oil reserves in
Wyoming to the Mammoth Oil Com.
pany bids fair to be the most per-
sistent.
When, in the middle of the last ses-
sion Of Congress, the investigation OF
the action of Secretary of the Interior
Albert Fall was commenced by Sena-
tors La Toilette and Kendrick, it was
thought all the truth would come out
at once. But something happened
and the inquisition was sidetracked.
Hope for Action
Now friends of fair play in Con
gress and out are hoping that La Fol
lette, with the prestige of his tremen-
dous election majority, will be able
to force action.
The Teapot Dome, probably the rich
est of all the naval reserve oil fields,
having been leased to the Sinclair
Company by Secretary Fall, passed
into the control of the Mammoth Oil
Company, a subsidiary Of the Sinclair
people, who are in turn subsidiaries
Of the Standard. And in 800 daily
newspapers Of the country appear
great advertisements announcing that
the company has leased $500 acres,
known as naval petroleum reserve
M in WYOMING!
2OOOO-Barrel Wells
The announcement states that wells
flowing 10000 to 10000 barrels tha
day are being brought in from a
depth of 500 feet, that the Salt Greek
field, of which this is a part, is now
CAPABLE OF producing 10000 barrels
per day from existing wells. a great
pipe line is to be built and TO crown
ALL a limited number Of the 2,005,000
shares is now being offered to the
public.
These shares, of no par value, wers
thrown on the curb market Of New
York Monday Oct. 9. That same
afternoon the shares which had opened
at 80 jumped to 43 and the next day
to 45.
At As the outstanding shares of this
one corporation, having merely a
lease on Teapot Dome-they don't own
it. mind you-are worth on the mar
ket the not tnconsiderabie sum of
$40, 00O.O00
There are those in Washington who
intend to keep their eyes on Teapot
Dome.

tive men invented knives sharp

versity of LouYain, with its price

Q.-Since man is endowed with the
gift Of speech, if a man had been
reared under such circumstances that
he never heard spoken language,
could he still speak himself?
A.-Man is endowed with the gift
Of speech but If he never heard a
language spoken, and since the speak

ton and not a gift, he would not be
capable of speaking any Language, .
but through the power of speech
