DOHENY EvAS|vE
IN ANSWERING
CHARGES
Oil Mans Reply Centered on
Minor Allegation. Standard
Plays Fine Hand.
By JONATHAN WICKWIRE.

"Oil sharks" the wise ones in the
petroleum industry, shoaling thick
in Washington these days, were
broadly a-grin last night.
First they were chuckling over
what they term the manifest indis-
position of the Senate Public Lands
Committee to go into the cMScSes
by Henry Woodhouse, on the stand
Tuesday, that Edward l.. Doheny
has contracted the petroleum pro-
duction Of some of his companies
Tor long term to British interests.
In the second place, their risibili-
ties are aroused by what they term
the ingenuity Of Edward l.. DOH
eny's purported refutation Of the
Woodhouse charges, as carried in
press dispatches from Los Angeles
yesterday. Mr.. Doheny, through
his attorney. Frank ]. Hogan. today
offers an explanation OF the British
contract for the oil produced by his
Mexican companies, over which Mr..
Fall so nearly brought this country
to war with Mexico.
Mystery in Answer.
Mr.. Doheny centers his attack on
the allegation that he has contracted
part Of his California navel reserve
oil to British interests. This he an.
swers by declaring that the naval
reserve oil is sold to three com.
panies, Standard Oil, Associated and
Union. Which Union? the insiders
are asking. The Union of Pennsyl.
vanta they eliminate from considera.
ton.
If his contract was with the Union
OF Delaware, that company, they
point out, is now 100 per cent Brit.
ish. having been merged with the
Roxana and other of the Shell group
as the Shell-Union.
If 1t is the Union of California.
then 1t is a company in which the
Shell-Union is the principal stock
holders. whose fight for control is
believed to have been STAYED off,
temporarily at least. by the organi.
zation of a pool Of the American
stockholders known as Union Asso.
ciates, headed by Lyman Stewart.
Between chuckles over this phase
or the controversy, the wise ones
are pursuing their lips in admira.
ton OF the finesse with which
Standard Oil has Indirectly pro-
tected its interests in naval oil
exploitation as further disclosed in
~AO DOISliS statement. 1neV point
out that besides the oil directly ap-
portioned to it by Doheny, Standard
also profits by that apportioned to
the Associated. which is controlled
by the Pacific OIL Company in
which, Moody reports. Standard Oil
OF California has a 20 per cent
! interest.
Standard Record is Efficient.
The record for Standard Oil, say
the sharks, Is now 100 per cent
efficient. They get a share of the
/ Doheny oil in Reserve No. /, in
which they already claim Section
36 under Fall ruling.
Mr.. Sinclair recently admitted,
following disclosure in The Wash
ington Times joint ownership Of
Standard Oil of Indiana in the pipe
line from Teapot Dome to Kansas
City and in the contract for the
purchase Of all Government royalty
oil both in Teapot and Salt Creek.
The Wall Street Journal is au-
thortty for the statement that the
Honolulu Consolidated. following
Mr.. Falls assignment of leases in
Reserve No. 2. took it's contract
from General Petroleum and gave
| 1t to Standard Of California.

not considered likely that any ma
terial change will be made in the
outcome during the day.
The overwhelming victory Of
McAdoo came as a bombshell in
Underwood camps where leaders Of
his campaign confidently predicted
victory for the Alabama Senator.
They expressed surprise that vot-
ers of Georgia. sister state Of
Underwood's. failed to support their
candidate and admitted that their
optimism was based partly upon
his sweeping victory in Alabama
two weeks ago.
Many OF Cnderwood's votes came
from those counties which border
on the State Of Alabama. His cam
paign leaders admitted that they

what effect the Georgia election
will have on his ultimate chances
for nomination.
Only a little more than week
ago those politicians who would not
concede the election to Underwood
admitted that it would be a
mighty close race"
McAdoo's invasion of this State
last week and his stump campaign
in the principal cities offset this and
was responsible for the landslide in
his favor, they admitted today.
While McAdoo was born in Mari
eta, Ga, he has not lived in the
South for years. Despite this he
was hailed on all sides as Georgia g
native son." and thousands flocked
| out to hear him at every place he
spoke.
Underwood did not campaign the
State personally, but left the work
of speechmaking to his fellow Con-
gresham from Alabama, Senator
Heflin. Heflin and McAdoo were
touring the State at the same time.
The ku klux Khan which also
Is a native product Of Georgia, was
held responsible for Underworld
defeat to a great extent. McAdoo
was the khan candidate" on all
sides because Of Underwood's oppo-
sition to that organization.
Answers Khan Question.
The former Secretary of the
Treasury came into Georgia with
the hope Of evading all khan issues
but at Macon, a Ku klux Khan
stronghold. he was called upon to
show his hand. While speaking
there a member of the audience in
terrupted him and asked his opin-
ion Of that organization.
McAdoo said he did not want to
be diverted from main issues but
declared that he stood sQuarely on
the first amendment to the Con-
stitution which guaranteed to all
freedom of worship; freedom Of
assembly and freedom of the press. !"
He made no other reference to the
organization at the time and evaded

SUPREME COURT CONVENED MONDAY WITH
 ACCUMULATED DOCKET BE DISPOSED OF

Anthracite coal companies of Penn sylvania, including the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron Co., are testing the validity before the court tonnage tax. About s3,0O0,0O0 an- nual revenues for the state are in voived in this case. The state courts sustained the validity of the law. but the policy of this tax has been assailed in congress and through out the hard-coal burning states.
 Steel companies are interested in an expected decision from the court on power in the Federal Trade com mission to enforce an order against the Claire Furnace Co.,, of West Vir- ginia, requiring separation of it's interstate and intrastate book ac- counts and details of production and sales costs and prices. The steel companies contend enforcement of this order would put a staggering burden on interstate commerce, ille- gal and unnecessary.
 There are cases from Washington and Oregon testing constitutionality of state laws making mandatory the education of children in public schools, and from Ohio and other states prhoibiting the teaching of German in public or secular primary schools.
 The court . is confronted with large number of appeals of cases originating under the Volstead and other prohibition laws. Most of these are for reversal of convic- tions for alleged violations of the laws, but two cases-one from New York and the other from Montana are test cases of the right of con- gress to restrict physicians in the quantity of liquors they may pre- scribe for patients.
 Railroad complaints have brought many appeals against awards of damages to injured employees under the Federal Compensation law and the various state laws. Some of these damages are claimed to be excessive, one for S100,000 having been given a circus actress.

WHEN using a sewing machine

they told others and all over the

This was so much the case
that an old Dutch scholar once
wrote of them. His name was

a study Of all animals. Here's a
part of what he wrote:
"'No one has seen these birds
alive, for the y live in the air,
always turning toward the sun
and never lighting on the earth
until they die. For they neither
have feet nor wings, as may be
seen by the birds carried to In
dia and sometimes to Holland"

Yes" 1 chuckled. And they
firmly believed that story as late
as the time of our American
revolution. And they told won
derful stories about the birds
lowering among the nutmeg
groves, where they ate 90 many
nutmegs that they finally became
intoxicated and died"
What do you think of that?''
