WAITING To
TESTIFY.
Senate Oil Committee Rejects
Witness Until He Answers
Subpoena.

Harry F. Sinclair, chairman Of
the board Of the Sinclair CONSOLE
dated Oil Corporation, today was
not permitted to testify before the
Senate Oil investigation COMMITTEES.
With Sinclair in the room at the
time waiting to testify, Senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin, chairman Of
the committee, announced the COM
mittee would hear no further testi-
mony from him until ne appeared
Monday morning in response to a
subpoena issued late Thursday.
Must Produce Records.
On Monday, Sinclair. under order
If the subpoena, will be required
o present all records and transac.
ions Of the Hyva Corporation,
which yesterday he refused to give
he committee on the grounds he
would not produce records not
'elating to the subject under in
Iuiy."
The Hyva Corporation, an in
Sestment company owned by Sin
lair, his wife and mother, con-
rolls large blocks of stock of the
Mammoth Oil Company, a Sinclair
subsidiary operating the rich naval
Ill reserve lands at Teapot Dome.
At the opening of the meeting
oday La Toilette issued a state
s11fp o..
ooenaing Sinclair, and in a yelled
manner attacking the Oil magnate
for failure to comply. with the
committees desires.
Witness Fails to Return.
The Wisconsin Senator pointed
out this was the first time the
committee had been forced to sub
1oena a witness to secure ,informa-
ion, except in certain cases of
small, struggling oil companies
when it did not appear fair that
these concerns should be forced to
bear the expenses of legal FEES
when Sinclair was asked to
bring certain records of the Hyva
Corporation" continued La Toilette,
''he asked permission to consult his
attorneys, although during his testi-
mony he had been in frequent con-
sultation with his attorneys.
Permission was granted, how.
ever, and Sinclair and his attorneys
left the room. They remained away
for the rest of the afternoon, with.
out sending any word to the com
mittee. At 5 o'clock the committee
adjourned after instructing the Ser
geant-at-Arms of the Senate to
serve him with a subpoena. Until
Monday, Sinclair will not be per.
mitted to testify"
Rules Provide Penalty.
Under Senate rules whenever a
witness summoned defaults or re-
fuses to answer a question pertinent
to an investigation he shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanoI
and fined not more than $1,000 OF
less Than 500, or Imprisoned for
not more than one year or less
than one month. When these facts
are reported to the Senate, the
president Of the Senate shall bring
the matter before the grand jury
of the District of Columbia for
action.
Should Sinclair on Monday again
refuse to produce the books of the
Hyva Corporation, La Toilette de-
clared today he was determined to
Ego the limit"
When Sinclair left the commit
tee room, without making any re-
ply, ]. w. Carnes, sales manager

Mrs. PenfeId smiled. YES, that's

the happiness going inside 'em. Some
folks have got factory of their own,
and they make their happiness fast's
they can use it. and some folks have
had so many hard knocks that their
happiness machinery has grown rusty

birds, Mrs. Wopple. You never heard
bird sing on the ground; but give him
bit of encouragement in the way of
fencepost or bush or something with
an outlook to it, and he'll sing his

So far Lettie had merely changed
her allegiance and her boarding place;
the routine of her days had not been
disturbed. The lust for loot was in
her blood; and now that she was well
treated and well fed, it had become a
sort of frenzy. She knew little about
putting gratitude into speech, having
always employed that medium for
vastly different purposes. The more
thankful Lettie felt, the higher grew
