TEAPOT DOME AND
SINCLAIR ARE RAPED
Senator Kendrick Of Wyoming,
Charges Oil Industry Is
Turned Over TO Monopoly
and Is Wasteful

Washington, Aug. 26.-Declar-
ing that the recent leasing Of the
Teapot Dome sava. oil reserve in
Wyoming strengthened monopol-
istic control Of the oil industry,
Senator Kendrick, Democrat,
Wyoming. told the Senate in a
speech late Friday that the con-
tract whcih turned over the field
to Sinclair oil interests was
vicious and criminally waste
full" and that it would "eventu-
ally plague and even damn the
administration. +"
The terms of the lease, the
senator said were not only i'm
provident, but would cause
shameful and unnecessary de-
structionn Of the final naval oil
reserve. He added that it would
not promote competition as claim
ed, but in a time of huge over
production aid in turning to pri-
vatc interests the millions of dol
lars which the government would
realize were the property to
have been properly handled. -
Drainage Claim Flouted
The senator said the claim that |
il was necessary to drill wells in |
the Teapot reserve was not
of serious consideration, |
as an assertion of such |
for an area of greater |
than ten acres never had been
substantiated by scientists. He
added that "of all the myths and |

now, and she had succession Of slat-

her kitchen, but she found her freedom
strangely fiat.
Now and then play, straight from
"a triumphant year on Broadway"
came to town for one night; then
Martin took his wife, and they bowed
to half the men and women in the
house, lamenting as they streamed
out into the sharp night air that Red
Creek did not see more such produc-
tiOns.
The effect of these plays was to
make Cherry long vaguely for the
stage; she really did not enjoy them
for themselves. But they helped her
to visualize Eastern cities, lighted
streets, restaurants full Of lights and
music, beautiful women fitly gowned.
After one of these performances she
would not leave her fiat for several
days, but would sit dreaming over the
thought Of herself In the heroine's
role.
One day she had letter from Alix /;
it gave her heartache. she hardly
knew why. She began to dream Of her
own home, Of the warm, sweet little
valley whose breezes were like wine,
Of Tamalpais wreathed in fog, and Of
the ridges where buttercups and pop
pies powdered child's shoes with
gold and silver dust. She began to
hunger for home. Nothing that Red
Creek could offer shook her yearning
for the remembered sweetness and
beauty of the redwoods, and the
great shade of the mountain. She
wanted to spend whole summer with
Alix.
She was athirst for home, for old
scenes and old friends and old emo
tions! She had only to hint to Alix
to receive love letter containing a
fervent invitation. So 1t was settled.
With a sort of feverish brevity Cherry
completed her arrangements; Martin
was to use his own judgment In the
matter of boarding or keeping the fiat.

hope was that she might never see
Red Creek again.
Alix met her sister at the ferry In
San Francisco on soft May morning.
She was an oddly developed Alix,
trim and tall. prettily gowned and
veiled. laughing and crying with Joy
at seeing Cherry again. Peter, she
explained between kisses, had had to
go to Los Angeles three days ago, had
been expected home last night, and
was not even aware yet that Cherry
was definitely arriving.
"Of course, he knew fnat you were
coming. but not exactly when," Alix
said. as she guided the newcomer
along the familiar ferry place ON to
the big bay steamer for Mill Valley.
Cherry drew back to exclaim, to mar
vel, to exult, at all the well.remem-
bered sights and sounds and smells.
