Charges of various kinds are fly

q result of the Senate'S adoption OF
the La Toilette resolution calling for
an investigation of the leasing OF gov
eminent oil lands to private concerns.
Names of prominent government OIL
ficials and of we'll known fnanciers
have been brought into the case IN
various ways and it appears from
this distance that before the oil IN
vestigation is concluded, it may de-
velop a situation much worse tnan

One of the mysteries about the whole
affair in the absence from Washing

supervision over these oil fields. In
quirv at his office today brought forth
the reply that he was somewhere IN
the West and would not return to

certain documents and papers IN
connection with the leasing of the OIL

PROBE WARD Staying

investigators Are Busy In Case
Wealthy Baking Company Official
IAssociated Press Dispatch.1
White Plains, N. Y, May 25.-In-
vestigators today continued to delve
between the story of Walter Ward,
wealthy baking company official,
who has declared he shot and killed
Clarence Peters, former navy man
in a fight growing out of a plot to
blackmail.
Latest developments have aroused
the questions as to how long Ward
had been acquainted with Peters
before the killing. New revela-
tons, expected from the anonymous
letter received by District Attorney
Weeks, were looked for today. The
prosecuting official is confident the
writer, who claims to be soldier
and to have known Ward, will re-
veal his knowledge as to what caus-
ed the death of Peters.
Sheriff George Werner, says he
has the gun used by Ward. Il can
produce Wards gun when 1t is
needed" said the sheriff, "and it
will show that more than one shot
was fred" The sheriff also dis
played the garments found on Pc
tiers and showed that a bullet had
pierced the vest and shirt in front
and passed through the coat, vest
and shirt in back. This indicated,
he said, that Peters must have had
his coat open when the shot that
killed him was fired.

NEW SERVICE ATTITUDE
Ispecial to The Free Press. |

Especial to The Free Press.
Evanston, ILL.,, May 25.-Delegates
to the conference on Christianity
and the Economic Order which is
in session here were urged to seek
to induce a new attitude" of service
in an address today by Prof. Harris
Franklin Rail- of Garrett Biblical
Institute of Northwestern Univer-
sity, Evanston. "a new approach
and objective is needed IN enlist
ment of college men for the Christ
ian life," said Frof. Rail-. The ba-
sis should be an ordered statement
of the Christian world view, in
Guiding social ideals as well as re-
ligious convictions. p
Adopting resolutions is not the
same as educating people. With
out the education Of the people
there is no new order, for the basis
of the latter must inhere in the peo-
pie; it must be democratic in its
fullest sense. Our obligation is not
merely a sense of social response
bility, but definite realization of nee
essary goals and lines Of conduct "
Prof Rail referred to the Meth.
odist Federation of Social Service,
of which he is secretary as an ag-
ency for carrying on the program
he urged.
