PROBE Of SINCLAIR

U. S. Oil Mans Activity With

PARIS, March 3.-R. Menevee, di-
rector of "informations politiques
aux fnancieres." makes the oil scandal
In the United States the pretext for
asking the French government for
light on Harry Sinclair's activities In
France, particularly as having pos
sibly been the means of occult pene-
tration Of the French oil industry
by the German magnate, Hugo
SHINES.
sinclair's principal partner in

sumed his oil interests.
Organized Companies.
In 1919 Sinclair joined this French
company in founding the Compagnie
Franco -Americaine de Combustibles.
The following year he took 40 per
cent Of a capital increase of Com
pagnie Industrielie and also formed
Societe Mazouts Transports In 1921
Sinclair participated in forming Com
pagnie des Huiles Since. In 1922, the
Franco-Americaine was dissolved
owing to failure of the French gov
eminent to remove certain restric-
tions on the sale of oil In France.
but In 1923 Compagnie des Huiles
Tiona was formed, which was related
to Compagnie des Huiles Texaco.
formed in 1920 by the Texaco Com
pany.
Finally, It is said that j.. N. cudahy,
president of the Cudahy Pipe Lines,
which are controlled by SHINES, Is
vice president and member of the
board OF directors Of the Sinclair OIL
Company. Menevee's thesis, based
on the foregoing assertions, Is that
Sinclair and SHINES are close busi-
ness associates and that Sinclair, be-
Ing still interested in various French
oil companies. there IS reason to sus-
pect that SHINES, through Sinclair,
may be working his way into these
companies.
"Sueh are lings Of the chain
which those ignorant OF the technic
OF trusts and konzerns may call
imaginary" says Menevee. I'VE. how

NEW YORK, March 9.-Edward l.
Doheny, oil magnate. who was re-
moved as second vice president Of the
democratic state committee of Cali
fornia, last night declared he was
grateful to those members Of the

sidered his case on its merits and
had been inspired by campaign poll
tics.
Mr.. Doheny declared his activities
in connection with the democratic
party in California were centered At

protection Of American citizens and
rights In foreign countries, especially
Mexico, and of an expression of en-
couragement and approval fer the
aspirations Of the Irish people.

E|NSTE|N THEORY
PROOFS" ASSA|LED
Noted U. S. Mathematician
StartIes Scientific World
With Challenge.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. March 3.-Capt.
r. j. J. Sees attat * on calculations
believed by many to prove the Elm
stein theory" has startled astronom-
ical and other scientific circles. Capt.
See. who Is the government astron-
omer at Mare Island and a world
noted mathematician, in an address
yesterday before the California Acad-
emy of Science challenged the theory
of Einstein on the progression of the
perihelion of Mercury.
This apparent change of the orbit
of the planet nearest the sun has
puzzled astronomers because the
facts We're In conflict with the New
tonian law of gravitation. Elm
STEMS theory accounted for this
change, but Capt. See says the fig
ures were wrong and advances a
theory Of ether (the existence of
which Einstein denies) to explain
Mercury's orbit.
AnaIyzes Discoveries.
Capt. See analysed the results OF
the recent discoveries as follows:
"It turns out that the theoretical
progression of forty-three seconds
per cent calculated by Einstein
and Eddihgton Is entirely erroneous.
"The plus 43 seconds per century
heretofore used is only the first term
of a series, the second term being
minus 20 seconds per century, leaving
an outstanding difference Of only
plus 13 seconds per century. This
outstanding progression Of Mercury's
perihilion of plus 13 seconds per CEN
tury is consistent with Weber's
electro dynamic law of planetary mo-
tton and with Sees new kinetic
theory of the ether-both of which
onds per century-but not with the
Einstein theory. which demands plus
43 seconds per century"
Denies Theory Confirmed.
Capt. See also denied that solar
observations had confirmed Einstein's
theory Of the curvature of space or
that rays of the stars in passing the
sun were bent, due to the attraction
of the sun and to the fact that light,
being substance, had weight.
Capt. See summed up his findings
and quoted other authorities. He then
explained his kinetic theory of the
ether which, briefly. Is that through
out space is the most tenuous of all
the gaseS-the ether. To the unit
particles of this he assigns a
diminutiyeness inferior to electrons
even and a velocity exceeding that Of
light. Capt. See believes the particles
travel at the rate Of 2e4.000 miles per
second. while light travels at only
$4,000 miles. He AYERS the etheryon
Is 1000 times smaller than a hydro
gen molecule. thus enabling It to
penetrate any other substance and
still assist in holding the planets in
their places.
