 Because Of Lease
SECRETARY OF NAVY IS ALSO CRITICISED
Condemns Approval Of Lease By Denby And By Roosevelt, His
 Assistant Plays Daugherty
SAYS NATION HUMILIATED
Under Attorney General He Ayers, Even White House
 May Be Disposed Of

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-The corruption in connection with the lease of the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve to the Sinclair interests was charged today in the Senate against Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interior, by Sena- tor Caraway, democrat, Arkansas.
 Moreover, MT. Caraway assailed Secretary Denby and Assistant Roosevelt in connection with their approval of the lease, and attacked Attorney General Daugherty. He declared that as long as MT. Daugherty remained At the "helm of the department of justice they may sell the White House and be absolutely immune from any prose- cutions in the federal courts"
 Reviewing the lease and dwelling on Fall and Edward B. Mclean, Wash source of funds used by Mir. Fall in Mexico ranch, Senator Caraway claration:
 AuuADu0tlHS 0Abu0bhOh
 "We are faced with this humiliating tory of America, so far as know-and I hope it will be the last time-a cab inet officer betrayed the high trust imposed in him, and for a orrupt con sideration sold the very means by which our national defense is to be protected"
 Senator Caraway declared that after President Harding, without authority, had transferred the naval oil reserves from the control of the navy to the in- terior department, Mir. Fall without notice to the country negotiated some kind of deal with two oil people and parted with the last gallon of America's s naval reserve fuel"
 Investigated His Prosperity <. The Investigating committee" said Senator Caraway, referring to the Sem ate public lands committee, which was directed to inquire into the lease, 'finally commenced to inquire with 'feferelsGa. to the suddenly very vastly increased apparent prosperity of Nff. Fall, mad he came before the commit tee, and made a statement. Other evi- dence was offered and then he declined to go back before the committed. but claimed the privilege of writing q let ter. In this lettere, since it had been positively proven that Mir. Fall left there about the time he let his friend Sinclair have the Teapot Dome, he said he left Washington with $100, 900, and carried it down to Texas and de- posited it. It seems that he used the same kind of conveyor foreash that s(,aa Dics, Addicks did when he came down to Delaware to try to corrupt that state and come to the Senate; he brought his money in suitcase. As l remember when they were buying city councilmen in San Francisco, that was the means of carrying about their money.
 Anyway, Mir. Fall made a state ment, rather resentfully, with reference to where he obtained the. money. He

CITIZEN TRAINING URGED.

Citizen training and an understand
ing of the ideals of the nation is a
certain way to insure the peace and
safety of the United States, Col. Leroy
Heron told members of the Woman's S
City Club in lecture on prepared
Eess at the club Monday night. Pre-
paredness does not mean war. it
means peace, the speaker said. The
world, he continued, has not vet
reached the state when it is safe for
a nation not to be prepared to safe
guard It's institutions and ideals and
to defend it from an outside foe by
force il necessary.
Every man is prone to anger" Col
Heron said, "and I do not think ma
tions are any different from men. The
time may come when international
differences may be settled by publicity
and in other such ways. but L do not
think that it has come yet. Peace
through preparedness is sure to prove
the most practical way"

Previous League Statement.

The Box peace plan and Elihu Root.
chairman OF the committee of award,
were -assailed yesterday in the Sem
hte by Senator Mccormick of Illinois.
one of the republican irreconcilables.
L have arisen" Senator McCor-
mick said, mot, to consider the Box
plan in detail, but to point out, first,
that those who acclaim it's publica-
lion to the world are those who have
been the most unqualified and i'm
moderate supporters of American ad-
herence to the covenant of the league
of nations.
Scores E,Iihu Root.
II hat" arisen also to call the at
tention of the Senate to the circum- :
stances under which the Box plan
was awarded. a prize by a packed
jury for those who passed upon the
many plans submitted were almost
without exception adherents of Amer
lean adherence to the league of ma
tions. 1t was presided over by one
of the greatest lawyers in the copn-
try, who first became conspicuous at
the bar as the defender of the no
torious Tweed and whose last ap-
pearancc at the bar was to seek to
undo what Congress and the legisla-
lures did in passing the eighteenth
amendment"
Senator AshurSt democrat, Arizona,
declared there was no need to discuss
the Box plan. because it will fall of
its own weakness, its weak back. its
weak knees and it's weak joints gen
erally."
Coolidge stand Unchanged.
Inquiry at the White House yester-
day relative to President Coolidge S
views on the Box peace award brought
the statement that Mr.. Coolidge has
nothing to add on the subject OF in
ternational peace to that which ne
said in his message to Congress.
The executive in his message in
dorsed American membership in the
world court. The Box award con-
templates a similar step, but would go
further and bring about the co-opera-
ton of the United States in some of
the work of the league of nations.

No State Lew
Is Necessary
Special to the News-Record ::

Special to the NewS-Record:
There will be no general fund
tax levy for the state of Washing
ton for the coming year. That
was decided at a meeting Of the
state equalization toard last week
when Governor Hart, Auditor
Clausen and Treasurer Babcork
after carefully Analysing the
funds on hand, came to the con.
clusion that with an accumulation
of $5,250,000 in the general fund
there was no need for levying the
tax next year.
This is the first time since state,
hood that he state has been with.
out a general fund levy. and il
has been made possible by the
economic administration Of tho
present governor, together with
the installation of the admil;istra,
tive code.
When the administrai We code
went into effect in 1921 there was
a deficit in the general fund Of
over 100000. That made nee
eSsary the levying Of ~ mills for
the purposes Of state government,
Today there is in the general
fund $5,250,000. and the tax levy
will be wiped out when the board
meets officially toward the end OF
this month.
The levy for last year was one
and three-fourthS mills.
1t is estimated that the income
from indirect revenues will be
sufficient to run the state govern
nent without taxes for the next
four years. All the salaries and
wages, cost Of maintaining the
state institutions, state and coun-
tv courts, are paid from the gen
eral fund Of the state
