COLLECT EVIDENCE IN
SUSPICIOUS FIRE HERE

Lieutenant Detective John Huff is
continuing his investigation today at
the drug store of Camille Manfredl,
266 Washington street, which was
damaged by fire at midnight on Tues
day night. This fire is said to have
been of incendiary origin.
Detective Huff says he is abou
satisfied that the fire was set.
A glass containing rolled paper which
was soaked in alcohol was found
near the rear door of the store where
the blaze is alleged to have started.
The floor in the rear room also was
soaked with alcohol it is said.
Manfredi according to information
obtained closed his store about 3
O'Clock on Tuesday night and the
fire was discovered at midnight. Tbs
firemen upon their arrival at the
scene were of the opinion that the
blaze had gained great headway be-
fore the discovery was made.
Plainclothes officer John Kurpiel
found the glass containing the alco-
hol saturated paper when he broke
in the door following his arrival at
the scene on Tuesday night. AL
though it is alleged the police have
information that the stock and fur
nishings in the drug store and rear
room are insured for more than their
actual value a decision regarding an
arrest has not been made. Man

TO HEAR VANDERBILT TOMORROW
ON MARION PAPER DEAL; STANDARD
OIL ATTORNEY IS HEARD FIRST
John Shaffer, Chicago Pub
Usher, Is Questioned About
Grant of Oil Lands
SERVICES RENDERED
Declares That He Had Never
Heard of Proceedings
-Quizzed by Senate

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-John c.
Shaffer, publisher of the Chicago
Evening Post, and number of other
papers, was questioned by the Oil
Committee today about a reputed
grant to him of one-eighth interest
in the Pioneer Oil Company.
Standard subsidiary for services
rendered"
Senator Walsh, Democrat. Mon
tana, produced what he said was a
record of proceedings of directors
of the Pioneer Company making
such a grant.
Mr.. Shaffer said he never heard
of those proceedings. He did hold
an eighth interest in the company,
however, he said, but had sold it.
Asked what service he had rem
dered, the witness replied:
None"
He added that he had had land
adjoining Teapot Dome.
Shaffer said his payment from the
Pioneer Company came out of the
$1,00c.000 paid that company by the
Sinclair interests.
THE Pioneer people felt we had
a common interest in the Teapot
holdings in case the dome ever was
thrown open to the public" he con-
tinued. They made the proposal
to give it to me. l gave up nothing.
1t was their idea"
A letter to Assistant Secretary
Finney from Shaffer dated April 19,
1922. was put into the record. In
it the publisher said he had "a per-
sonal interest in this deal,' and
added:
Secretary Fall had arranged with
Mr.. Sinclair for some acreage for
me personally"
Just before the letter was read the
witness had testified he had no in
terest in the Sinclair lease.
Was it your opinion that anybody
could go to Secretary Fall and de-
mand share in the Sinclair lease
or money for II" he was asked.
81 think So" Shaffer replied.
HE could distribute the interest
around just as he saw fit?"
81 think so.'
Asked if his memeory was refresh
ed. he said that back in 1917 he had
applied for land on Teapot and later
had been promised 200 acres by Fall
The publisher said under question
ing that it was his understanding
the land on which he filed in 1917
was not at that time open to leasing.
Asked If 1t was on the basis OF
that sort of claim that he made
demand" on Fall for some of the
Dome. he replied:
mo. not at all. 1 made no de-
mand / Just urged that l get it.
Shaffer later testified that Secre-
tary Fall told him in March. 1921,
that he was going to lease Teapot
Dome to Harry F. Sinclair.
When he asked IL the policy OF his
papers was involved in the deal.
Shaffer replied:
THE support of my newspapers
was never mentioned or promised. I
don't even know what position they
took on the proposition"

spoke in defense of the figures which
have been arrived at this year rela-
tive to industrial valuations.
Andrew j. Wight declared
that the assessment on that indus

per cent of the full valne. City Att.

he believed that too high a percen-
tage. The city attorney, however,
pointed out that Perth Amboy had
given the Barber Asphalt Company
considerable ground when 1t aban-
doned the old Amboy avenue route.
Mr.. Wight argued however that this
obligation to the city was offset by
the plant giving to Perth Amboy the
strip Of property over which the
new road is being located.
There was considerable discussion
relative to the value of the property
Of the Perth Amboy Dry Dock Com
pany and the placing of assessments
on that which is outside the bulk
head line. Various figures were men
toned as to the valuations placed on
the shipyard property, one being
$4,000 an acre while three and one
half acres Immediately adjoining
were assessed at $4,000.
Speaking on behalf of the Perth
Amboy assessors, Attorney Wilentz
said it is not the intention of the as
SCISSORS to work any hardships on any
Of the factories or any private In
dividual. The assessments, he said.
had been made only after a compre-
hensive inspection had been made.
The city was compelled to increase
its valuations :lore than two mill
