WALSH HOLDS UP
TEAPOT INQUIRY
Refuses to Continue Until
Jesse Livermore Is Found
and Gives His Testimony.

Failure OF the United States mar
shall at New York TO serve a subpoena
for Jesse Livermore, Wall street
operator, led to further postponement
today of the inquiry by the Senate
public lands committee into fuctua-
lions of oil stock before and after the
leasing of naval oil reserves.
Senator Walsh, democrat. Montana,
IN charge OF the Interrogation of wit
nesses, insisted that Livermore be
placed on the stand first, and declin-
ed TO call out of order representa-
tiyes of the Chase National Bank
and Of the Chase Securities Company,
who have been on hand several days.
Henry B. Sterns. counsel for the
two New York institutions, protested
that continued absence of the Chase
officials from their desks at this sea-
son would seriously embarrass their
work, and asked that "in simple
courtesy the facts offered to the COM
mittee by these witnesses be taken
now to Offset. so far as possible, press
reports which have definitely CON
nected our clients with the subject
under inquiry
Il must be allowed to conduct the
inquiry in my own way" replied
Senator Walsh. Il had planned to
take Mr.. Livermore first and 1t would
complicate matters 10 alter this plan
There seems. unfortunately, to be
ness, although my information is that
his whereabouts should be easily de-
termined."
The committee adjourned subject
to call of the chairman when the
missing witness is found.

RICHARD LLOYD JONES
SAYS &c
Doing Our Duty Leads to Power

DUTY@This is a positive world. Upon every living creature is
imposed an obligation. Duty demands that this obligation be met He
who fails to meet 1t is a drone. The world discards Its drone. Do
not let yourself be cast Into the discard.
Duty s. a stern taskmaster. 1t commands u 8 to be useful, not &C
cording to our desires, but according to our powers.
Duty will tolerate neither slight nor neglect The more you shrk
1t the higher 1t piles up before you.
If you break the thread In the loom by being false to your duty
today you may confront the flaw tomorrow, when you Will have for
gotten Its cause and are helpless to mend 1t.
Duties seldom come through choice. They are the lot Of destiny.
The reward for doing one duty is the power to fulfill another.
The arm that swings the hammer grows strong. The conscience
that, soldierl1ke, pursues duty daily develops character.
Duty is the acid test of manhood. It marks heroes and shows the
shame of pretenders.
Duty is not spasmodic-it does not confront US occasionally
it is constant. Some duty meets each of US face to face every day.
We cannot meet it by long jumps. We must follow 1t step by step.
Duty measures time cautiously. With every duty We are given
the time in which to do it. But we r not given time to spare. Neg
lect will forfeit fulfnment. Do your duty now. Take no chance
Duty delayed spells failure.
Pleasure often appears to be in conflict with duty because in attempt
ing to discharge our duty we do only what we are strictly obliged to
do and we feel we arc seldom praised for it. Yet the pleasure a man
of honor enjoys in the consciousness of having performed his duty is
a reward he pays himself for all his pains.
The first, the last, and the greatest pleasure In life is the sense
of having discharged our duty.
