TEAPOT DOME LEASE
 HELD TO BE UNWISE
Expert Holds Oil Should Have Been
 Retained In Ground

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The leasing g of Teapot Dome naval oil reserve to the Harry F. Sinclair interests was unjust ble. if based on the danger of loss of oil by drainage through wells on adjoining property, W. c. Mendenhal. chief geologist of the geological survey today told tho Sen ate committee Investigating the lease. Frederick G. Clapp, geologist em- ployed by the committee to survey the reserve, joined him in declaring the oil on the reserve should have been retained in the ground.
 Mendenhal testified the drainage of oil through nearby wells would have been negligible as the real oil reserve on Teapot Dome was pro- tected by belt of land surrounding g it and included in the reserve through which drainage could not penetrate. The additional land had been included in the Presidents order creating the reserve for the specific purpose, he said, of preventing drainage of the main supply which 1t was intended should be held in the ground in- definitely.
 Clapp said that wells located upon the Salt Creek area adjoining the re- serve would have drained from 1t l, 100000 barrels of oil. if not pre- vented by offset wells on the Salt Creek field

STRESMANN APPROVES RETURN OF WILHELM
Believes Action Would Offset Plans
 Of Von Kahr

BRUSSELS, Nov. 1.--Chancellor Stresemann Is planning to permit the return of ex-Crown Prince Wilhelm Hohenzollern to Germany in order to offset efforts of Bavarian Dictator von Kahr to make Bavaria the prin- cipal German state and reinstall the Wittelsbach dynasty.
 Allied authorities have learned definitely that this Is the situation behind recent reports that the ex- crown prince would leave his Doorn exile and return to Germany.
 Stresemann must solve the prob lem of the Bavarian revolt. Herr yon Kahr Is known to desire that Ger man federal authority be transferred from Berlin to Munich. He is also known to favor the return of the Wittlesbachs. former rulers or Ba- varia when it was a klngdom Wlthln the German monarchy. FIX Grown Prince Rupprecht is now head of the family.

Ac- cording to allied information, 1t would mot be surprising if the ex- crown prince returned any time. Whether Stresemann would actually attempt to place the ex-erown prince on a throne, or believes his mere presence would discourage Bavarian monarchist ambitions. has not been revealed.
 Allied authorities state that, on the surface, such a move seems fool ish, as there is no indication that Wilhelm is any more popular in Ger many today than he was a year ago

BANKHEAD'S PLAN DUE IN TEN DAYS
Jasper Man To Make Decl- sion On Entering Lists
 With Heflin

John Hollis Bankhead of Jasper will decide within 10 days whether he will offer for the United States Senate in opposition to Senator J. Thomas Heflin. This announcement he made Thursday morning at the sentative of The Age-H Herald.
 MT. Bankhead was 6 guest of the Ensley Kiwanis club at the Thurs day luncheon and some of his friends thought he would refer to his prob able candidacy. However, MT. Bank head, in short talk said one of the most significant movements at this time was the Interest being nani- fested In Bible classes by men of all denominations and that such a move ment was bound to N of vast value in this country When asked by a representative of The. Age-Herald for statement as to his candidacy. MT. Bankhead said; A
 T cannot make any statement now. However, I will decide with in the next 10 days whether l win offer for the Senate or not. or course it is obvious that I have been importuned by friends all over the state to make the race. However, there are many things to be con sidered and just now I cannot make a definite decision. However, you may say that l will decide within 10 days so that my friends may know my position in the natter
 From the conversation with MT. Bankhead the impression was gath cred that he would announce his candidacy. The recent refusal of former Senator Braxton Bragg Co., mer to make the race is{taken as making it clear for Mr. Bankhead. Mir Bankhead's friends here Thurs day secured the impression that he would oppose the present junior senator from Alabama.
 Mir. Bankhead returned to Jasper Thursday night.

 Up Over Last Year

There was an increase of nearly q million dollars in the amount of taxes collected last month than was collected during October. 1922, ac- cording to figures made public Thursday afternoon by an official In Tax Collector J. F. Hawkins of flee. Last months total was S1.203,- 596 as compared to s2S4.6S9 for Oc- tober of last year.

In former years this company waited until later to pay its taxes.
 A total of s21. 900 was collected on automobiles whose owners es- capped taxes on them before the last legislature passed law requiring them to be registered for taxes be- fore the issuance of license.
 There was also considerable in- crease in the number of tax receipts issued this year over October 1922, from 5,416 to 9,617.

LEAVES 4 WREATH ON GRAVE OF '. R.
Lloyd George Offers Thought full Prayer At Grave Of
 Ex-PreSident

OYSTER BAY. N. Y, Nov. 1.--(By Associted Press.)--A sturdy little pill grim with flowing gray hair, toiled up the stoney path of cemetery In oyster Bay today and placed upon the mound of fading blossoms that all most covered the grave of former president of the United Gtates a fresh wreath of bay leaves on which was the inscription: ITO the m emory of a powerful and attractive personality, who fought the good fight with radi- ant valour."
 A tiny white square of pasteboard of ID. Lloyd George" was tucked into the foliage.
 With a movement of wistful gag ing, a movement of lips in prayer; a sigh-such was the tribute former British premier paid to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt.
 Lloyd George made the trip from the estate of John w. Davis in To- cust Valley where he is a guest. He was accompanied only by MT. and Mrs. Davis, a chauffeur, and Scot land Yard detective. Newspaper re- porters and cameramen followed in another car. the body guard which has trailed him everywhere on his 5000 mile journey through America. was left behind.
 A little group of Roosevelt ad- mlrerS was alreaQy at the grave, au- ding their verdant tokens of affec tions to those with which the spot has been heaped since last Saturday, the anniversary of the colonel's death.
 The statesman did not have the opportunity to fulfill his wish to see Mrs. Roosevelt and visit the family mansion in Sagamore Hill. She was in New York for the day. having left before Lloyd George telephoned.
 Conviction that the future of civlli- zation depends upon the British and American flags flying side by side in comradeship was expressed by Lloyd George tonight in an address before the Lotus club. The two countries, he declared, would benefit the world by adopting a policy based upon mu- tual understanding because, he as serted, they never would unite upon any policy of aggression or of op- pression against neighbors.
 The former British premier was the guest at a characteristic dinner for which the Lotus club is famous and entered heartily into the spirit of the occasion. Welcomed by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. the presi- dent and presiding officer. as "our friend and companion in Bohemia"
 He delivered a brief but happy sps och, departing from the lighter vesh only in conclusion when he re- itetated his appeal for an under standing between the English speak inE people of the world
