books.
Some Of the dealings were re.
ported by Bond as follows:
On February %, 1922 Senator
Curtis bought 100 shares Of Sinclair
consolidated oil corporation stock.
Daugherty realized a profit on 100
shares Of stock of the Pan Ameri-
can Petroleum Company, owned by
E. L. Doheny, lessee Of Elk Hills
reserve.
On June 20. 1922, slemp bought
and sold 1000 shares Of Mexican
Seaboard, a Sinclair subsidiary,
realizing a profit Of $1434. He also
made a profit Of 1881 on Mexican
Petroleum.
Elkins' Deals Extensive.
Elkins had extensive stock deal
ings from March 16, 1922, to April
9, 1928, through J. p. Bernhard
& Co., New York. In that
period he bought $500 shares of
Sinclair Consolidated at a cost Of
1902, $50 and sold 1900 shares for
$277,92 and took 1000 shares for
delivery on May "a, 1922. He lost
in deals in Sinclair Consolidated
through Hartman & Co. from May,
1922, to November "a, 1922.
Bond said he had not found an
account in the name Of win Hays"
on the books Of Ungerleider & Co.,
Cleveland.
Slemp's account was through
John l.. Edwards & Co.
On December rs. 1922, Congress
man Arthur B. Rouse bought 100
shares of Pan American Petroleum

more than 100 shares.
LenrOOt to Return.
Senator Lenroot Rep) of Wis
consin, former chairman Of the COM
mittee. notified his office today that
he will be able to return to Wash

covering slowly from his illness.
Major General John A. Lejeune
wrote the committee that the cost
Of sending the marines detachment
to Teapot Dome in August, 1929,
was $1,065.39.
The hearing today attracted one
OF the smallest audiences in weeks.
Bonds revelation Of the oil deals of
Daugherty and Elkins created little
excitement as both officials pre-
Vously had admitted their Sinclair
stock transactions.
GOOdykOOntx Made Profit.
Wells Goodykoontz made a profit
Of $266 in dealing in Mexican
Petroleum.
The account of p. w. Slemp was
transferred to Slemp on February

For years the new car dealers have assumed this obligation.

NEW FIRM HAS
 GRAY CAR HERE
Newman-J Johnston Com pany Birmingham Deal
 CTS For Light Car

There's new sign out on Auto row, and new organization representing two well-known lines makes its bow to the motoring public today. The new sign reads, "Newman-Johnson Motor company, incorporated, formerly known as Oldsmobile company" and 1t is on the front of the building at 516 Twen- ty-first street, south. Yes. the New man in the front end of the name is none other than our old friend Bob Newman, who is the president of the new concern. Mir. Newman is too well known to the Birmingham public to require our introduction or recommen- dation. He has gained secure place in the estimation of the thousands of those who know him for his genial. courteous disposition and his square shooting habits. His energy and abil. ity is behind the new firm.
 The secretary and treasurer is J. W. Cottrell, erstwhile connected with the former distributor of Gray cars and just the man to fit the new office he fills. J. Ernest Price, known all over the northern part of the' state as the Oldsmobile man, will represent the new line in the territory. continuing, of course, his representation of the Olds- mobile.
 It is safe to say that because of the new lineup there will be no sacrifice of the fine service and representation of the Oldsmobile, but rather an in- crease in satisfaction to Oldsmobile owners.
 The Gray group for 1924 constitutes splendid line of light cars. It is known as a quality car in the light weight class and at a most attractive price. The new models now being
