 Questioned at Session

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.

Teagle, its president, to a senate manufacturers subcommittee today at the resumption of the senate-di- rected inquiry into prices and con- ditions in the oil industry.
 Appearing as the first of the lead CTS in the American Oil world which the subcommittee has summoned, MT. Teagle, for four hours was of New York. counsel. for the sub- committee. The questions concerned the minutest details as to the op- erations of the company and were directed toward bringing out the exact cost of the major oil products and the extent of competition in the Oil industry brought about by the supreme court dissolution decree of 1921.
 MT. Teagle. for most of these ques- tions had ready answers and if some question of minor detail, with which he was familiar, was put, called on a large staff of assistants who had ac- companied him to Washington, bring ing voluminous files. At the start he offered prepared statement but was cut short by Chairman La Toilette. who announced that the sub-commit- tee had decided he should be Ques- toned by the committee attorney. Questions asked by MT. Roe during the hearing, however. resulted in the placing of most of the statement into the committee record and just before adournment MT.

 GE I SURPRISE
Committee Informed Harding Engaged for Months in
 Naval Negotiations

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.- Presi dent Harding, according to a state, ment made in the house today, has been engaged for several months with the question of negotiating with the big powers abroad, relative to limiting the construction of war ships under 10000 tons, which he is requested to do under a provision of the naval supply bill.
 This information as to the the reported attitude of the president dent was given by Representative Lineberger, Republican, California during brief furry of debate. while Chairman Kelley of the sub-commit. tee, in charge of the measure was seeking to explain the reasons for the request. It was, admittedly, a surprise to the committee, which had not consulted the president prior to presentation of the bill.
 MT. Kelley had just declared that while the arms conference had af forded a net saving of SIPS ,000, ,000 the general staff of the navy had recommended projected program under the 10000 ton limitation, en- tailing hte expenditure of $331, ,000, ,000
 ''The gentleman is requesting the president to do something which we and everyone knows he has been engaged in doing for several months past" interrupted MT. Lineberger Would it not be much better yer. biage to approve that which the president is now doing rather than to request him to do something that he has been dooing for months?"
 MT. Kelley said he was not in terested in the language of the re- quest, as set forth in the bill at the same time expressing the hope that the Californian agreed with the idea.

Rail Crash Inquiry Uncovers Mystery
Campbell Urges Development

bring about utilization of the waters of the Colorado river for reclamation of desert land
 Governor J. A. O. Preus of Mime sota discussed the proposed St. Law renee deep waterway, asserting that westerners felt some persons in New York were taking narrow view of the situation.
 New Workers, he said. seemed to believe that this country was built up for the benefit of New York and that they were justified in taking toll off western farmers by blocking a plan for shipping grain direct to the various ports of the world, instead of through New York.
 He ridiculed the suggestion that the waterways proposal was advanced for the benefit of the power companies, declaring the IS western states could not all be in the employ of electric companies.
 He then invited the delegates to sign resolutions adopted at a recent Chicago conference of IS governors, urging President Harding to aid the project.

Campbell of Arizona in an address before nearly a score of state chief executives attending the fourteenth annual convention of governors, which opened here today. The day was giv- en over to consideration of farm leg islation and industrial problems.
 "We all have been looking for un- tapped sources of taxation for the last few years and have tapped these re- sources until the burden has become too heavy" Governor Campbell said. We now should hunt new ways to create new wealth rather than hunt new ways to tax the old"
 The idea, he added, was represent ed in the Smith-McNary bill calling for $350, 100000 for reclamation pur- poses. He said he favored the treaty between Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada, California and Arizona, now before the various legis- latures for ratification, which would

Plan for Reconnaissance of Squadron Over Santa Rita

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 14-Thorough exploration ofs the Whetstone and Santa Rita mountains today by 45O mounted troops from Fort Huachuca proved fruitless- in the search for Colonel Francis Marshall and Lieut. Charles Webber, the two aviators who have now been missing for eight days.
 Colonel E. B. Winans in command of the search. declared tonight that the cavalry would be kept in this territory until every nook and cranny of the mountains had been explored "a task which will probably occu- py all of tomorrow and the follom- in day-and that if the two men are not found by that time the troops will probably be returned to the fort
 Virtual abandonment of the use of airplanes in the prosecution of the search was one of the results of today's failure to bring new de velopments. Cavalry will be kept at Tucson and Nogales only for the purpose of Investigating new rumors regarding the missing plane. A few of the planes will be dispatched to Yuma and Ajo to check again the trail of tie plane after it left Yuma.
 Colonel Winans confessed last night that the search took more dis couraging aspect as the exploration of the mountains where the plane was last reported became more min ute. He declared that every re- source had apparently been exhaust ed. as the mountains have been thoroughly combed, and practically every village and hamlet in Pima county and Northern Mexico has been visited by one or more of the searching planes without gaining any trace of the missing machine and its occupants.
 Colonel Winans was informed to- night that Colonel A. J. McNab of Camp Stephen D. Little would leave Nogales tomorrow morning with two planes to investigate a ru- nor regarding a plane seen some distance below the border on the day when the plane disappeared, but the message to Colonel Winans did not state tho nature of the rumor.

 Startling Testimony THREE HURT MAY DIE Many Passengers Die When Scalding Contents of

THREE HURT MAY DIE

HOUSTON, Dec. 14.-While the death list in Wednesdays rail trag- edy at Humble increased to IS to- day. board of inquiry sitting at Humble developed some startling tes timony according to rail officials.
 Witnesses before that body testi- fled that the throttle of the switch engine sideswiped at 10 p. m. We'd nesday by Houston, East and West passenger train Number 2S, was found open after the crash. Other witnesses said that the locomotive was moving slowly away from the main line intersection at the mo- ment of the impact.
 J. H. Smith, aged watchman, in charge of the switch engine, could not be found to testify after the accident. He was taken to hos pital in Houston. His injuries proved slight, and he left soon af- terward. He is being sought by Sheriff's officers to give his tes- timony
 While the death list increased to IS, the list of injured decreased to IA. Of these. little hope is held out for three.
 Of the dead, nine succumbed after being brought to Houston hospitals for treatment.
 Based on testimony obtained by the board, it was found that a two inch pipe leading from the water tender to the boiler was stripped from it's mooring alongside the engine, spout ing steam and hot water. Just as an open window came in contact with the stream, the full contents of the boiler emptied itself into the coach. Many of those within died without knowing what happened, it is believed
 Members of the board of inquiry included Humble citizens and railroad officials.
 The board found that the regular crews of both the switch engine and passenger train were blameless for the wreck. It was established that the crews had left the switch engine spotted in the usual place and clear of the main line a short time before the accident Members of the board found that the engine then was nov ed by some unknown party and, while switching the passenger train ap- preached before the engine was clear
