Garbage Wagon Horse
Is Blue Ribbon Winner

New York.-From the shafts
Of a garbage wagon to Fort
Riley, Kansas, chestnut geld
ing dubbed Submersible by n
buck private who sometimes
drove him to n post laundry
wagon, leaped into fame at the
national horse show as blue
ribbon winner, capturing the
coveted championship for charg-
ers.
The former laundry horse
might still have been going the
dull, routine rounds at the fort
but for the eye of n lover OF
horse flesh, who saw possibilities
In the animal. Submersible was
relieved of his arduous tasks,
the unkempt tail and the long
name got better attention.

Committee Remained in Session
Only Fifteen Minutes This
Morning

WASHINGTON, April q. With
George White, former chairman Of
the Democratic National committee
as witness. the oil committee re-
newed it's wrangling today in the
relevancy Of testimony relating to
the republican contributions.
Senator Spencer, republican Of
Missouri, asked White about the
campaign contributions to Sinclair
and Doheny in 1920.
Senator Walsh said he deemed
the matter irrelevant, but because
It might be a legitimate inference
that the republican officials were
influenced unduly in the granting
of the oil lease, he was willing to al
low the investigation to proceed.
White said Sinelaid did not con-
tribute, but that Doheny gave So
900 at one time, and later added
S25, GOO to help make UP the de-
ficit. When attention was called to
the Doheny testimony Of his COM
tribution Of $4,000, White said
Doheny was mistaken.

After is minutes session the
committee adjourned until Monday
because Of the absence Of other
witnesses.
