 Seems Certain
Leasing of $5Oo,ooo,o ,o0o Naval Oil Reserve in Wyoming to Private Individuals to Be Probed-Charges "In- terests" with Corner ing Naval Oil Supply.
By J. BART CAMPBELL

Washington, April 29-I. N. S.)-A far-reachlng Senate in vestigation of the leasing by the Interior Department of the $5OO,OOO,OO0 Naval Oil Reserve in Wyoming to private interests appeared certain today.
 No Objections Offered
 Republican leaders indicated that passage of the resolution sponsored by Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin, which provides that the proposed in vestigatjoE be conducted by the Sen ate Public Lands Committed
 La Toilette announced that he would shortly deliver another extend- ed speech in which he would lay be- fore the Senate the circumstances sur rounding the leasing of the naval oil reserves in California to private in- tereSts.
 He charged that there was "con- spiracy' on the part of the Standard to ''corner' the country's oil supply so that the old burning, first line, fighting ships of the navy would be absolutely dependent upon them for their fuel.
 Small Part of Evidence.
 fI have only submitted a small part of the evidence I have assembled which shows that a secret deal was nlaO6 With Harry F. SlnCla1r, the OH and horse racing man, and others, by which they were to be given the last of the great Naval oil reserves-the Teapot Dome tract of six or seven thousands of acres of rich oil land in Wyoming-under conditions by which they are certain to make millions of profit at the expense of the country's taxpayers" La Toilette said.
 To Stagger Senate.
 When all of the disgracefu1 de- tails of the scandalous deal are made public the Senate will be staggered by them. Why, I asked with the chasing of the Teapot Dome. if 1t were really considered necessary not done publicly instead of behind closed doors? Why was che public kept in ignorance of it for two weeks? Why were not public bids or the lease ad- vertised and asked for instead of the oil reserve contract being turned over to private individuals by a mere crossing Of a and dotting of an i?
 "Why did not these individuals have any competitors and why was the contract or $500. 100000 in oil lands belonging to the American peo- pie drawn up and signed in secret and kept shrouded in mystery until the Senate's demand for information regarding it dragged it into the light of pubHcity?''

 He was faced early today by the dead girls sister in a dramatic de-

Hoppeston, H., April 29-(By the A. P.)-Information obtained through a. night of grilling of John Wyman, 36, well to do farmer in connection with the mysterious death of Gertrude Hanna, 25. whose body was found Thursday in the basement of the un- tenanted parsonage of the First United Presbyterian church here, will be placed before the Vermillion grand jury May Is, State Attorney John H. Lewan announced this morning.
 During 36 hours of almost constant questioning Wyman Stubborn1y in sisted that he was innocent of mur- dering the young woman, but admit ted that he was the father of her child, which would have been born in a few weeks, the states attorney announced.
 'fWyman has been trapped in a network of lies," the states attorney continued And we have gained sufficient information to warrant grand jury investigation of his con- nection with this baff1ing case.''
 Sheriff Charles Knox and c. J. Bogart, Hoopeston~ police chief, who aided the states attorney in the in vestigation, corroborated MT. Lewan's statement.
 Attorneys working on the case virtually have agreed upon the mur- der theory, although the exact cause of death has not been ascertained.
