Washington, D. C., Feb. 16-Tea- pot Dome boils hotter and hotter. A new gusher smears fresh reputations every day. Blooie, goes one nice clean shirt front after another. Here are some points not gener- ally emphasized:
 There were three oil leases. One to Sinclair, one to Doheny, and ONE TO STANDARD OIL.
 Not much is said about Standard Oil, but it got its bite in California The old American Association for the Protection of American Rights in Mexico is being dragged into the hearing. This is the old time oil crowd that fought so hard for inter vention in Mexico five and six years ago. This is the crowd that consti- tuted the prosecution" when Fall, as senator, conducted his infamous hear ings on Mexico.
 May the good old American Asso- citation for the Protection Rights (what jol1e) in Mexico, get all that s coming to itl
 One big angle of the case hasn't been scratched, but it's in prospect and it isn't being emphasized. It's the stock market cleanup. It is said that even if Sinclair loses Teapot Dome his stock market winnings will be enough.
 But more sensational. may be the testimony in prospect as to WHO ELSE cleaned up in the stock mar ket. And from where did they get their tip?

Official announcement from the Inter national Carpenters and Joiners Union has been made that 5o4 acres of land have been bought and paid for by the union at Lakeland, Fla, for the site of the home for aged members of the Car penters Union. The tract of land is said to be ideal for such purposes, and the union paid the sum of $632,3o3 for the land. What the house will cost is yet to be determined
 Following is the official announcement of the big deal made by the carpenters
 On March 26, 1923, a special circu- lar letter was issued by the General Ex- ecutive Board calling for a referendum vote on the establishment of hom for our aged members and the creation of an old age pension. A synopsis of the discussions and actions taken on these two great important questions for the past twenty years by our conventions was therein recorded In that circular also was given an illustration of what rould be accomplished by procuring a tract of land in the State of Florida as site for the home in question, and the revenue that would be derived there from
 When the vote was tabulated it showed that both propositions were carried by more than the necessary majority vote as provided in Paragraph A, section 62, of our General laws.
 Soon afterwards many propositions were received from different place in Florida, among which were DeLand, Fort Myers, and Miami Subcommittee of the Board were sent to Florida to in veStigate propositions, and the board de- cided to hold meeting in Lakeland, Fla, early in December, 1923, so that the members of that body might satisfy themselves just what location was the best suited for our purpose.
 After much time spent in Investigating and gathering information as to the na- ture of the soil, value of land, climatic conditions, etc., 1t was decided that the Lakeland proposition was the best of all submitted, both in acreage and price, and the one most suitable and adaptable to our needs and requirements.
 This tract of land consisting of l. 684 acres was purchased at an average price of $375 per acre, making a total in all of $632,3o3.
 It is about one and one-half miles from the city limits, close. to Lake Gib- son. Five hundred and ninety-four (594) acres of it are in groves with over 30,OO0 orange, grape fruit and tangerine trees, from to ten years old The bal ance is citrus and vegetable land with ap- proximately one million feet of stand ing merchantable pine thereon.
 The property is close to the Atlantic Coast Line railroads, the main line runn- ing between Jacksonville and Tampa, and provisions can easily be made for siding to the property.
 According to the Florida State law the proprty is exempt from taxation, providing the income derived herefrom

crack on that phase of the question, unless all the dope goes wrong.
 
 The demand, first voiced in the la bor press, that the leases be cancelled, seems likely to be fulfilled. The great difficulty seems to be to find lawyers to fight the governments case who haven't been on an oil payroll some where or some time.
 So it goes, now that the lid is of and the truth is coming out. And former Secretary Fall, taking refuge behind a shield of silence on the ground that talk may incriminate him, is the prime spectacle of the whole show.
