and promulgated before the regiment

The order of Admiral Wilson gives
the following pertinent points as re-
minders:
Glass standing at graduation deter
mines the time Of promotion for the
various members OF the class and this
will obtain throughout the greater
part of your service lives. For the
promotion from ensign TO junior lieu
tenant and junior lieutenant 10 lieu
tenant. class standing does not count
SO much. but after that. the man who
stands first in his class will be given
the first vacancy and SO on down
through the whole class.
There is 4 concrete example of this
in existence at present. The top of
one class Of graduates from the Naval
Academy have had their commanders
commissions for some four years. The
foot of that class are still lieutenant
commanders These commissions
were temporary The top Of the class
have made their permanent numbers.
while the remainder of the class will
revert to lieutenant-eOmmand )
"a similar condition existed among
the temporary captains. A fortunate
few held captains commissions for
over three years while most Of their
classmates were commanders.

system in some degree. but not TO a
great amount. II the seniro man and

SINCLAIR OIL
CLEANUP ON
TEAPOT DOME
La Toilette Wants Investigation
of Lease of Valuable Lands
to Standard Company.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Having
cleaned up approximately 100000, 900
(present market value) on the Teapot
Dome naval oil reserve lease. the
Mammoth -Sinclair-Standard OIL com
binations Is now turning its attention
to collateral matters.
According to its advertisements the
Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corporation
is now Offering for sale 800 100000
worth of 8 per cent cumulative pre-
ferred stock, which is being pyra-
mlded on top of s155 6Oo,0 600 common
stock Of the corporation and just un-
derneath 500, 900 600 worth OF first
Hen collateral gold bonds.
In addition, says the advertisement,
there are some $5.06S 900 outstanding
equipment. notes. mortgages, etc.
Earnings S21,OO0.00O
And 1t further shows that .the net
annual earnings of the company for
the past five years have averaged in
excess of $2l.OO00OO. This is from
five to eight times all dividcnd re-
quirements.
These are some Of the reason
so much interest IS felt here .1 'A
forthcoming investigation Of the Tea
pto Dome leases.
The Sinclair Company is owner OF
the Mammoth Company and tho
Mammoth Company and the Nam
moth Company is owner of the lease
on the 1851 acres OF naval oil land
reserves set apart by the Navy De
partment some ten years ago for fu'
ture use. but leased by Secretary
Fall last year to the Sinclair people
on a royalty basis.
Want Investigation.
The argument OF Senator La Fol
lette and others who agree with him
that an investigation rs indicated"
is that these private lessees have
made and are making altogether too
much profit out Of. the public lands
Of Uncle Sam. They want to know
why the public, who own these lands,
can't realize a handsome profit too.
They say that If Secretary Fall
can get away with the Teapot Dome
leases. nothing can prevent his car
rying into effect the graf Alaska oil
land leases to the Sinclair and De
heny interests.
