Smoked Out

TSNoUGH evidence has been smoked out by Senator
IL Walsh of Montana on this Teapot Dome scandal to
make the duty of the senate committee investigating that
deal perfectly clear:
FIRST it is the duty of the committee to ferret out
reenessly all facts large and small, bearing on the
delivery of the naval oil by Fall to Harry i.
Sinclair and others.
SECOND. the committee should advise the senate to
initiate proceedings at for the recovery of those
naval oil before the private expoiters have
drained them
THIRD the senate committee should see to II that the
proper government agencies set TO work to punish
guilt wherever found. high low official civilian.
All this is perfectly clear to any citizen who has fol-
lowed closely the trail of the Senate Teapot Dome COM
mttee from Washington to FL Paso and Palm Beach,
and back again.
The facts, so far developed. are these:
Former Secretary Fall turned the Teapot Dome naval
oil to Harry f. Sinclair, oil magnate, after
private deal had been concluded at Falls ranch in New
Mexico, without public notice or bids
Fall soon thereafter resigned secretary of the in
terror to look after private interests he explained
FALL who had been hard-up for funds up to this time.
suddenly came by sums Of money sufficiently large to
make lavish improvements his ranch and to add large
tracts to his New Mexico holdings. At the same time,
he received blooded stock from Sinclair.
Asked 10 come before the senate committee in Wash
ington and explain this sudden affluence Fall suddenly
became sick in New York city, on the "way" from New
Mexico to Washington He wrote letter to the senate
committee, saying he had borrowed 100000 from
E. B. Mclean, publisher without security. Also that he
received similar from the E. B. Thatcher estate
of Colorado.
The senate committee asked Mclean to come before il
and furnish facts about the loan to Fall Mclean too.
suddenly became ILL., at Palm Beach, Florida but he had
his attorney present the senators with letter. admitting
the loan to Fall.
Senator Walsh, still unsatisfied went to Palm Beach
TO take testimony from Mclean, who appeared in golf
clothes bronzed and apparently in good health. Mclean
not only repudiaed his earlier statement that he had
furnished Fall with the 100000. but furnished letter
from FALL who happened to be in Palm Beach, but who
could be reached by Walsh only thru Mclean saying that
the checks had been returned to Mclean uncashed.
The question still is, where did Fall get the money?
Fall has repudiated his earlier testimony caegoricay
That usfe the senate committee in refusing to accept
without ample proof any of Falls evidence relating to
Teapot Dome. 1t jusfes the public in demanding that
the senate that the Teapot Dome deal with Sinclair
be abrogated.
Finally the public has the right to expect that what
guilt there may be the part of either officials
civilians in connection with the Teapot Dome case shall
be punished to the extent of the law.
