CAPITOL CULLINGS

Washington, April 29.-Tne con-
servation of natural resources which
was a hobby of Theodore Roosevelt
and a policy of President Roosevelts
administration is in danger of being
completely overthrow, to Judge by
the violent assaults that are being
made upon it in connection with oil
and coal lands.
What promises to be great ma
tional scandal is the alleged turn
UNCOVER of the huge Teapot Dome
oil fields in Wyoming to private in
terests. This is one of the fields
held in reserve for the Navy to keep
adequate reserves of fuel for it's oil
burning ships. The naval oil re-
serves were recently taken over from
che Navy Department by the Inter
Tor Department under an executive
order by President Harding. The
deal for the Teapot Dome district is
with the Sinclair Oil interests, a
subsidiary of the Standard Oil, and
the latter company is said to be
preparing to build pipelines to carry
the oil to its refineries in the Middle
West. The Sinclair oil stock has
been more or less dormant for a
year. Just prior to the time of the
alleged closing of the deal with the
Interior Department the market
value of the stock increased more
than S30,00O,00O in three days, as a
result of huge transactions on the
New York Stock Exchage, indicating
that there was an inside tip on the
alleged deal.
II it had not been for the vigil
ance of Senator John B. Kendrick.
who so ably represents Wyoming in
the United States Senate. this deal
which was made in secret and evil
IDENTIFY without any competitive bids
might not now be known to the pubS
lie. Senator Kendrick introduced a
resolution calling upon the Secre-
tary of the Interior for information
concerning this oil negotiation, and
d in speaking upon this resolution he
I pointed out the immense value of
this great naval oil reserve, and also
that IL was of greater benefit to the
nation to allow this oil to remain
stored underground than to remove
it across the country to be stored in
surface tanks as was proposed.
Secretary Fall of the Interior De-
partment has been a consistent OPP
ponent of national conservation. He
is not the only member of the ad-
ministration who has been identi-
fed with representatives of Standard
Oil. Attorney General Daugherty
D was lieutenant OF the late Senator
Foraker in Ohio, and Foraker was
known as the Standard Oils repre-
sentative at Washington. President
Harding was also affiliated with the
Foraker faction in Ohio in those
days.
Recently when the independent
oil people Of Texas and Oklahoms
were clamoring for a tariff on OIL
the President OF the Standard OF
Company OF New Jersey called a.
the White House while the Fordne,
Bin was pending in the House. ant
oil is still on the free list.

SNAKE THROWS THREE
TOWNS IN DARKNESS

Berwick, Pa, April 2H-A four
teen inch garter snake threw the
towns of Berwick, Bloomsbury and
Danville INTO darkness for several
hours.
Electricians were called to the
lower end Of Berwick by a report
that pole supporting the high ten
sion line was on fire. After the
blaze had been extinguished they
found the charred body Of the snake
on top of the pole. The reptile had
caused short circuit between the
wire and the cross arm and there
had been sufficient resistance in the
snakes body to set the cross arm
afire, the electricians reported. 1t
is believed the snake was thrown
on the wire by boy.

ard Oil was interested In the ac-
QUESTION and development of Col
umbian oil bearing territory.
The partnership between oil and
the Republican party dates back to
the early days when the Standard
Oil Company was the ally of the
corrupt Republican machine in
Pennsylvania. With the revelations
concerning the Teapot Dome dis
trict and the anticipated raid on
government coal lands in Alaska
there is every reason to assume a
continued alliance between oil and
the G. o. p. Friends of national
conservation are naturally alarmed,
and are already limiting that con-
servation may be one of the promi-
nent issues in the coming campaign.
The President is now urging that
loan of five millions be made to
Liberia, the negro republic on the
West African coast. More money
taken from the taxpayers pockets
to throw at birds. Liberia now owes
one and one-half millions with
practically. no chance that it will
ever be paid unless it is done out of
the money which the President de-
sires to advance. The chief object
of the loan seems to be to show the
colored voter in this country what
great and good friend the race has
in the White House. Like the anti
lynching bill, it is intended to pro-
/ duce a profound effect on the color
ed brother.
The Senate republicans are plac-
ing in the tariff bill duty on hides,
to fool the farmer. They will prob
ably discover next November that
the farmer is not easily fooled; he
knows that tariff on hides can not
compel the packers trust to pay
more for the live steer by reason of
the hide which covers it, The pack
ers bid their price for the steer, con-
sidering him as so much beef and
viewing the hide as a by-product OBJ
tanned for practically nothing. 1t
would take an ingenious Philadel-
phia lawyer to devise a method of
getting around this situation and
compelling the packers to pay fair
price for both the beef and the hide;
then begins the problem of prevent
ing such outrageous profiteering as
compels the farmer to pay much
more for a pair of shoes than he re-
ceives for an entire beef hide. The
Republicans are not tackling these
problems with desire to solve
them; they are merely attempting
TO sat 'sfy the farmer and he can
not be satisfied with bumkum. The
farmer would probably view. with
. more approval a real breaking up OF
the packers trust.
Another case in which the farm
ers are being handed a prize pack
age is in the proposal to add dirt
farmer TO the Federal Reserve
Board. The Wall street Journal IL
intensely for Harding and all his
works, but II is brutally frank al
times. OF course it is not read By
farmers. but by financiers and specu'
lators. II says: 1T seems cruel ts
set farmers to chasing such will

Fort Worth, April 25.-John j.
Mccain, chairman of the Levee
Board, issued statement tonight
in which he declared that the levees
around the rivers, which broke here
early today and flooded the lowlands
of this city, were "dynamited by I'M
known parties" and that an investi-
gaticn by grand jury would be de-
manded Immediately.
Seventeen probably dead and
property damage estimated at ap-
proximately 100000 is the toll of
the food which swept Fort Worth
early today carrying before ii scores
of residences and small buildings,
oyerAowing hundreds of acres of
land and inundating several city
streets.
The estimate of possibly seven
teen dead was made by Maj. l.. G.
White, in charge of Red Cross re-
lief. However, none of the under
taking establishments has received
a body.
Confined 10 LOwlands
The food was confined chiefly tc
the lowlands adjoining the tribu'
taIies of the Trinity River Marine
Sycamore, Clearforks and the TRIM
" Rivers were swollen, oyerfiowine
the bottoms nearby.
The river rose 29.7 feet in twelve
houIs today.
All ambulances in the city ano
scores OF automobiles were pressed
into service to rescue stricken fam
lilies, citizens volunteering their ser
vices and care.
Rescuers In Boat Capsize
A boat which had been picking vi
focd refugees from housetops ant
trees capsized.
Two women who had taken ref
uge in a tree at the foot OF Florenc'
Street were drowned when the tre'
was swept away. other refugees IL
nearby trees and on housetops saw
them fall but were unable TO reacl
them.
The flood is the most severe II
the history of the city, according 4
cldtlme residents. Trinity Rive

tions of the remainder of the Board,
sitting around long table voting
down every change he might pro-
pose? Why doesn't Congress tackle
the problem of Strengthening out the
marketing and distributing systems?
Would they be treading on the toes

But back of the Federal Reserve

of the country, led by ]. P. Morgan

In 1920 the people voted for a
change, and there is nothing more
certain than that they got it, unless
IL is that they seem to have gotten
more than they bargained for. Uni
versal prosperity has been changed
into universal hard times, which at
last are beginning to yield to hard
work and careful economy, with no
tangible help from Congress that
does nothing looking toward real
relief. From universal employment
the country reached the point where
six millions of able-bodied men were
out OF work. The Harding pro-
pagandists fooled great many peo-
