rant disregard of law in negotia-
tions Of the Sinclair and Doheny oil
leases are charged in a report to
the senate today prepared for tie
oil committee by its prosecutor,
Senator Walsh, of Montana. The
executive by which Harding trans
ferred the oil reserves from the
navy to the interior department are
held in the report to have been il
legal. The manner in which the
leases were negotiated secretly by
Former Secretary Fall are describ-
ed as in disregard of the statutes.
The leases themselves are declared
"indefensible and wastefulI and
based on a policy which congress
alone had Authority to determine.
Falls acceptance of 100000
from Doheny was characterized as
in the last degree reprehensible, -
although no opinion was expressed
as to whether the payment was in
fact or a loan.

.HUNT2StA
WASHINGTON I EIT;iiS
LETT En-
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Hay-
ing failed to entice wary Bill Boran
of Boise, Idaho, into the Coolidge
camp by offering him the honor of
placing "Coutious Call" in nomina-
ton at Glevelnd, it is now suggest
ed Borah be brought in bodily, by
coercion if necessary, and placed
on the ticket as Coolidge's running
mate.
That, it is believed, would turn
the trick.
No man, it is pointed out, ever
has refused the vice presidential
nomination after it had been voted
him. And Borah, although in many
ways different from the average Of
senators and politicians, might be
expected to run true to tradition if
the nomination for vice president
was sawed off into his lap.
This new proposal emphasizes
more than ever the desire of the
Coolidge hackers to tie up the Coo
lidge candidacy with mid-western
and western elements which, while
progressively inclined, still have at
heart a desire to remain regular, tc
keep within the G. o. P.
This was pointed out recently in
connection with efforts to induce
Borah to make the Coolidge nomi-
mating speech. By such a speech
Borah naturally would have com.
mitted himself to the Coolidge
cause. And an endorsement by
Borah would have been sufficient
to line up for the Republican candi
date thousands of voters who a
present regard him as conservative
if not actually reactionary.
After hints that he preferred no
! to do the nominating were disre
| garded, and pressure continued t,
be applied, the Idaho progressiv.
put himself out of further consider
alton for the honor by announcin.
that he would not be present al
| Cleveland.
That, he felt, would be conclu
sive. Also final.
If he wasn't there, he couldn't b.
committed. He'd still he free t.
exercise independent Judgment ant
leadership, "a.
| But the demand for Borah as al
active participant in the Coohdg
campaign has persisted. And the in
vitation that he volunteer may nol
be replaced by an order that he b
drafted.
The one big deterrent to thi
program is fear of just how Bora
would take it. Would he submit 81
lently as a conscientious objecro
only, or would he raise a hue an
cry Of 'kidnapersw and, by fight

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and iustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
TO keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by The addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug store
for bottle Of 'Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, so evenly, that no.
body can possibly tell it has been ap-
Piled. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning the gray
hair disappears; but what delights the
ladies with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur
Compound is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after few applica-
tons, it also brings back the gloss and
lgstre and gives it an appearance Of
abundance, ,

He would have helped Roosevelt
