House Democrats
Renew Demands
Roosevelt Resign
Stevenson Swerves Attack to
ColoneFs Wife for
Having Owned
Oil Stocks.

Washington, March bipartisan
debate over the leasing of naval oil
reserves broke out in the house late
today and led to demand by demo
Gratis for the immediate resignation
of Colonel Roosevelt as acting secre.
tary of the navy.
Roosevelt's retirement was called
for by Representative Stevenson, dem
ocrat, of South Carolina. who charges
that Mrs. Roosevelt owned stock in
one of Harry F. Sinclair's oil com
panies, but denial of this was made
by Representative Nicholas Long
worth. republican. OF Ohio, brother-in-
law of Colonel Roosevelt.
Stevenson declared that Roosevelt
was tainted" by his former connec-
ton with Sinclair and that he had
exceeded his authority by ordering
marines to Wyoming to drive squat
ters off the Teapot Dome.
Admitted Owning Stock.
''Theodore Roosevelt admitted hay
ing been an officer of the Sinclair
company" said Stevenson. His
this company or n subsidiary, EN-
ployed at $4,000 up to the time the
investigation got SO hot the boy had
| to jump frcm the oil decks OF the
ship. He then called on Teddy for
help. Theodore Roosevelt admitted
his wife owned stock in the Sinclair
company when the oil leases on Tea
pot Dome We're made"
Longworth charged Stevenson
made a false statement concerning
Mrs. Roosevelt.
He asserted she had disposed Of her
Sinclair oil stock three months before
the leases were signed.
Tincher Defends Roosevelt.
Theodore Roosevelt had chance
to state that and did not" said Stey-
enson. Il had right TO infer she
owned II at that time. but she did
own stock and Archie Roosevelt did
hold the job. Theodore Roosevelt was
as much involved as Secretary DENLY
and all the lawyers who were recent
" excluded from conducting prosecu.
tions In these oil cases and when Den
by was forced out. Roosevelt should
have gone.
I'VE are going TO have a new secre-
tary of the navy Stevenson con-
cluded. "TIe IN from the Pacific coast.
They are talking now about new
naval base at Alameda. What would
prevent him from taking all the oil
from these reserves and building this
navy base II the views of the Navy de-
partment az to use of naval oil re
serve funds is correct?"
A vigorous defense OF Colonel
Roosevelt was made by Congressman
Tincher, republican. OF Kansas. who
denied there had been any impro-
priety In the conduct OF either Theo.
dore Roosevelt or Mrs. Roosevelt.

friend of Daugherty Both Of these
witnesses had testified that Smith
was interested financially In the

Other witnesses today made charges
of derelictions in prosecuting Mexican
gun running. bootleggers and Texas
oil stock promoters. Friends of for
mer Secretary Fall and prominent
Texas republicans were named in this
connection and Federal District At
torneys Henry Zweifel and John D.
Hartman were charged with delay and
failures of prosecution. One witness
said he believed" Zweifel was in
volved in a "black mali scheme
against oil stock promoters.
Direct Evidence Lacking.
Attorney General Daugherty was
not directly implicated by any of to-
days witnesses, but the testimony
often trailed to the door of his office.
through his friend Jesse Smith and
subordinate officials.
While the committee was in ses-
sion, Chairman Adams of the repub-
lican national committee issued a
statement that nothing discreditable'
to Mr.. Daugherty had yet been de.
veloped, but republican leaders In the
senate were known to be studying the
developments carefully with view
to possible renewal of pressure upon
the administration for action.

Tomato Diseases
Are Confined to
Three Varieties

After comforting with Farm Ad-
visor E. L. Garthwaite and look
ing over a number of valley to-
mato fields, DR.. NJ. Shapovalov and
j. w. Leslie, plant disease special
lists Of the United States department
of agriculture and of the Univer-
sity, respectively, reported favor
ably on local conditions.
The presence of three diseases
was noted in the local fields, al
though none of these is of q SER
ious nature. Blight, wilt and nem-
atode make up the list, and expert
ments are being conducted at Melo-
land to find varieties which will
prove strongly resistant. Atmome-
ters are being used at Meloland to
register the rate of evaporation, as
there seems to be direct connec-
tion between the presence of blight
and a high evaporation rate, Mr..
Leslie conducted experiments on
wilt resistant varieties.
