Bill to Be Url ID Calling for
Action by Coolidge on
Teapot Dome
Deal.
Fall Flayed by Caraway

Washington. Jan. 23.-The Teapo
Dome scandal will be placed square
ly before President Coolidge by the
senate tomorrow with a demand fol-
action.
The plan evolved tonight calls for
II resolution that will authorize and
direct the president to at once in
stitute prosecution entirely independ
ent of the Department of Justice for
the recovery of the vast oil deposits.
These, it is charged, were given away
to the Sinclair and other interests
by former Secretary of the Interior
Albert b. Fall.
The president will also be author
lied and directed to employ special
counsel independent of the Depart
ment of Justice 10 prosecute the gov
ernment suits and bring to justice all
persons found to be guilty OF parti
cipatng in the conspiracy.
Todays sensation was produced by
Senator Walsh of Montana, on the
floor OF the senate. when he said:
Independent Action Urged.
Special counsel should be EN-
ployed and proceedings TO recover the
governments oil rights should be con
Quoted entirely Independent of the
Department of Justice, as the at
torney general himself is under sus.
picion as being involved"
: This statement was made while
Senator Walsh was forecasting the
future plans of those who have been
conducting the investigation.
1t came about when a demand was
made by Caraway that the public
lands committee be discharged from
further consideration of his resolu
tion.
The action proposed would direct
the present executive to prosecute
all who may have conspired to de-
fraud the government.
Moves for Senate Action.
The Teapot Dome scandal broke
on the senate with all its fury today
when Senator Caraway moved to dis.
charge the public lands committee
from further consideration OF his
cancellation resolution and bring IL
before the senate for action.
Caraway spoke for more than an
hour In support OF his motion. his
speech being a vehement attack on
Fall and those involved with him
in the naval reserve leases. He was
followed oy Senator's Isenroot. Heflin,
Mcclellan and Walsh, Montana.
Lenroot defended the public lands
committee, declaring that nearly all
of the circumstances recited by Cara.
way had been brought to light by the
committee. He declared that the COM
mittee was endeavoring to get all
the facts and that Fall had been
subpoenaed before the COMMITTEES.

NEW TANNIN SOURCES
URGED FOR AMERICA.
Present Supply Likely to Vanish

Department Reports.

Waffle of Australia and Man
grove of Tropics Suggested
MAY IMPORT ALIEN TREES

Tanning and leather industries of
the United States ase likely to be de-
pendent on foreign sources for the
supply of tanning extracts. without
which they must fail within decade
or two. This conclusion has been
reached by special investigators of
the Commerce Department after near
1y a year of work in the inquiry into
sources of supply of industrial raw
materials authorized by the last Con-
gress, before which charges of for
eign monopolization and price con-
troll of rubber and other commodities
were aired.
The report, prepared by Wilbur j.
Page of the departments division of
hide and leather, with special assist
ance, explained that in the past, the
barks of oak, hemlock and chestnut
all American trees-have furnished
the tannin ingredient most essential
for converting raw hides to leather.
1t has been determined in recent
years, however, that certain woods
and woody products of tropical and
subtropical areas, such as the que
bracho of South America, the waffle
grove of all the G;r hot areas; the
sumac leaves of Sicily and acorn cups
of Asia Mirror. contain tannin in even
greater proportion.
Analysing all the possibilities, the
investigators suggested as most prac-
ttcable for building domestic source
the planting of the waffle tree in some
of the western states on the Mexican
border, where climatic conditions re-
semble those of the southern hemi-
sphere. Some development of the
sumac in Virginia Carolina areas and
of the mangrove in Florida was like
wise recommended, though the fed
eral agents were careful to empha-
size the advantage which present pro-
ducers have in labor costs and to
warn of the necessity American culti-
vatorS would find of considering this
factor. Shaping of national forest
policy for the protection of native
tannin producers was likewise sug-
gested.

COLORED SHINGLES GIVE
ROOF FINE APPEARANCE

Though One Is Attractive.

In the better class of residence the
architect and the builder find well
come variety possible for the roof
through the use of asbestos-colored
shingles. Although in many in
stances a single color alone is used,
the artistic effect being secured
through the natural silhouetting of

terms, or agreeable variation is OBJ
tanned by the use of two or three
colors from a range of six. Natural
gray, pearl gray, slate black, brown,
Indian red and Tuscan red offer Il
wide variety of choice, and AS the
metallic color base is permanent the
resulting effect can be depended up
on to show the original beauty of the
shingles to the passerby. regardless
of any exposure to the foces of sun
or weather.
Mixed color asbestos shingles make
q durable, practically indestructible
roof that will not burn. rot, split

either painting or repairing They
are made entirely of selected asbes-
tos fibre and portland cement, scien-
ttfically colloided and finished under
the proper hydraulic pressure. These
colored asbestos shingles are made in
standard thickness. shapes and sizes.
as well as the extra thick butt and
broken edge patterns.
