JOSEPHUS DA N|ELS
FAVORED BY MANY
AS PARTY NOMINEE
While Navy Secretary He Refus-
ID To Let Any One Lease
Reserve Oil Supplies
OPPOSED FALLS LEASES
Wrote LaFolIette q Years Ago
Telling OF Efforts To Have
Him Lease Oil Lands


RALEIGH, N. c.. Feb. 26.-(By
NEA Service) Oil lease scandals
have dimmed the political prospects
Of some. but brought others into
prominence-even as presidential
possibilities.
For instance. there's Josephus
Daniels, now favored by many
Democrats as the nominee Of their
party. (
His friends point to his eight
wear record in Washington as proof
of~his fitness.
He was the only one of Woodrow
Wilson'S cabinet to serve through
out that presidents two terms.
When he became secretary Of the
navy he was frequently ridiculed'
What was he but country news
paper editor. a lawyer Who Mad
never practiced?
His experience in politics had
been confined to membership of a
number of Democratic national
committees and to the direction of
publicity in Wilson's 10 IL cam
paign.
But Daniels was secretary of the
navy, under his leadership, covered
itself with glory. Criticism and
jibes did not worry him. He had
flet eff destroyers ready to rush
to the North Sea when war was
declared,
And when Dixie emerged
from the cabinet he was recognized
as an efficient administrator, prais-
ed by critics and commended by
Investigators.
So much for his war record. But
the Teapot scandal reveals pew
Daniels. While he was secretary
of the navy he refused to let any
body take the navy's oil.
Even after he was out of office
he tried to prevent the transfer of
leases. Two years ago he wrote
letter to Senator LaFollette III
which he told how pressure ad been
brought against him, the governors
had fought to preserve the oil re-
serve intact.
"In my judgment" he told La
Toilette, mot one acre of the naval
reserve should be leased and Con-
gress should set face of flint
against the present explorations
Daniels was born in Washington,
N. c.. May 10, 1862. At IS he
was editor of the Wilson IN ca
Advance. In 1885 he was made
editor of the Raleigh State Chron-
icle. and in 1894 he consolidated
that newspaper with the News and
Observer. of which he has been
editor ever since.
He was the most accessible man
in the cabinet to newspaper men
always smiling. always ready with
an answer to every question.
His nature and his appearance
made him a ready subject for lam
pooning. A little, gray man, with
crinkly lines in his face and eye
glasses. Black string ties and plain,
gray clothes. No pretensions Of
dignifed airs about him.
And he nearly always carried al,
umbrella, even when he went to
the White House to cabinet meet
ings.
Daniels is fearless. He showed
it when he Nook the grog out of
the navy.
He showed it again when he de
fed a Judge.
lie had criticized Judge PurnellI
for appointing receivers flr the At
lantic and North Carolina railroad.
He was adjudged guilty of con-
tempt and fined $4,000. He refused
to pay the fine and was arrested.
Later he was dismissed from the
charges by Circuit Judge Pritchard.
His last day as secretary of the
navy Daniels was asked what he

FISHERMAN WHO
 SHELTERED MARTIN
 BELIEVED DROWNED
OWNER OF MOLLER BAY CABIN IS MISSING-BOAT FOUND
 ADRIFT

A mystery that has an indirect con- nection with the narrowing experienc- es of Major Frederick Martin, United States army world flyer, on the Alas ka Peninsula is reported by Captain W. B. Knight of the steamship Cath erine D., cannery vessel for the Pacif ic American Fisheries. Captain Knight states that "Gum Boots" Johnson, the owner of the cabin on the southern shores of Moller Bay, where the maj or and his staff of mechanics, Alvah L. Harvey, remained for two days, is missing and it is believed he was drowned. His fishing boat was found adrift in the bay and it is conjectured that he was lost while fishing. Johnson had been away from his cabin about a day when the aviators staggered into it and feasted on pancakes and salmon bellies between maps.
 Captain Knight says that the Vest ward will not have big salmon year for reds, but that there will be plenty of pinks. The run is now on.

Shakespeare's Stream
 Is River of Death Now

LONDON, July 15-The River Avon beloved of Shakespeare and immortal ized in his writings, has become riv- CT of death. It still flows gently be- tween wooded banks and through the peaceful meadows, but it has become a martyr to the industrial development of England.
 Pollution of the river by sewage is responsible for what was once one of the most delightful streams in Eng land becoming an evil-smelling river.
 At one time the Avon was favorite resort for anglers and teemed with fish. For more than two years no fish have been caught. Where water lilies used to bloom in profusion there are no flowers now. Bought of trees that have leaned down to touch the waters are dead
 Efforts are being made to induce the city of Coventry to make other ar engagements for it's sewage disposal.

REPORT ON CORONA POST OFFICE ROBBERY
 IS MADE PUBLIC
INSPECTOR PINkHAM SWORE OUT WARRANT FOR ARREST
 OF SCHEFFLER

In the case of the United States vs. c. H. Scheffler, former postmaster at Cordova, the following evidence was produced which caused his arrest:
 The Cordova postoffice was robbed of S6,144.66 on the night of June 16th, and s. T. Pinkham and J. E. Fitzger- aid were ordered to Cordova to work out the case.
 The evidence introduced at the hear ing showed that after banking hours on the evening of the 18th of June, Charles Scheffler drew out $2,977.77 and put it in the safe; this was Postal Savings funds. There was also more than $3,600.00 of postal money in the safe at the time.
 That night the money was taken. Three of the doors of the Post Office were found unlocked the next morn ing but there was no marks or indi- cation of breakage The safe, which is large burglar-proof one, was open ed in the regular way by working the combinations of which there are two, one on the outer doors and one on the inner steel burglar-proof strong box. The evidence showed that Scheffler was the only one who had the combi- nation to the inner steel chest where the money was kept. This was testi- fled to at the hearing and was not contradicted. Of course there were many more details these things being some of the most significant brought out at the hearing. The evidence also showed that several hundred dollars in various sized bills, including a sack containing gold and silver coin, was scattered around the postoffice floor.
 The bolt was taken out of the rear door and laid on a table thirty feet away. The spring lock to another door was caught back and the door held by small prop. The peg that held one of the window slides shut was removed and laid to one side. All this was shown by the transcript of the hearing.

COMMUNISTS GET
LONG SENTENCES
in GERMAN COURT

KONIGSBERG, Germany, Aug. IA.
Unusually heavy sentences were i'm
posed here upon local Communists for
alleged sedition. Altho the court held
that none of the men involved acted
out of impure motives, they were sent
to prison for 2 to 7 years.
The charge was that they planned
by September 1923 to overthrow the
government forcibly, and to erect a
workers and peasants government
on the Russian model in its place. -
No uprising occurred in Eastern
Prussia. Yet the court melted out pun
ishment which, in comparison to that
given to Hitler and his associates in
Bavaria for actually starting an up
rising, is travesty upon German
justice.
The verdict contrasts strangely with
the verdict Of not guilty pronounced
by the Bavarian judges on Ludendorff,
who was the backbone of the whole
nationalist uprising of Nov. 9, 1923.
