whom ragged a storm OF criticism in
the senate before his retirement last
month as secretary OF the navy.

mendous loss OF drainage" he de
clarcd In an address, II would have
been false to my trust and culpably
negligent In the performance OF my
duty"
Replying TO what he said had been
an insinuation OF collusion on his part
In connection with the oil leases, Mr..
DENLY said he had never been talked
TO about the naval petroleum reserve
situation before ne entered the cabi-
net by the president.elect or by any
Of his cabinet or other advisers.
MY appointment was somewhat un.
expected" he said. "and was not an
nounced until about February rs.
Therefore. there was no colusion as
to any acts TO be performer by me
although even that insinuatlon has
been made"
Shortly after taking Office, IL was
represented TO me that drainage Of
the reserves was proceeding rapidly
Offset wells were necessary. Believ-
ing that the Department Of the In.
terror was best qualified to handle for
the navy Its enormously valuable re.
serves, turned TO the Interior de.
partment for advice on the subject
I then asked the secretary OF the In.
terror II he could not take over the
administrative control Of the naval
petroleum reserves.
Secretary Fall did not ask me, !
asked him. I wanted 10 stop the
squandering OF an invaluable re
source. Together then, the secretary
Of the interior and presented the
matter to the president Of the United
States and after he had given II care.

ecutive order.
"Thereaftier searching fnvestlga.
tlon was made by the Department OF
the Interior into the whole problem
and In the meantime certain offset
wells were drilled by the Department
Of the Interior with the knowledge
and approval Of the secretary Of tho
navy, although he did not sign those
individual contracts.

posing Of score OF relatively unim-
portant amendments, the senate con
tinued in night session tonight its
work OF whipping the immigration
bill into shape FOR a final vote.

with the notice Of Senator Reed. re.
publican, Pennsylvania. one OF those
In charge Of the floor. that he ex-
pected 10 dispose Of the measure be.
fore the session concluded.
Two important proposals affecting
the bill as whole were disposed Of
today. An amendment by Senator
Simmons, democrat. North Carolina.
was adopted which would give prefer.
ence TO farmer immigrants whenever
a state decided there was a dearth OF
such labor within Its confines, and
the suggestion that quota limitations
be extended to all countries Of the
western hemisphere put forward By
Senator Willis. republican, Ohio. was
rejected by substantial majority.
Vigorous Opposition.
The Willis amendment aroused Wig.
orous opposition from both sides Of
the chamber on the ground that 1;
was unnecessary in view Of the small
net immigration received from North
and South America, as well as because
II was "subYersige TO the theory and
spirit Of Pan-Americanlsm."
Senator Reed insisted that countries
Of South and Central America bore a
different relation TO the United States
than did those Of Europe and were
entitled 10 radically different treat
menf. From the practical standpoint,
he added. the proposal was faulty
because OF the trouble and expense II
would entail In the guarding Of the
long Canadian and Mexican borders.
King Amendment Rejected.
II hope" he said. we can extend
to Mexico the same system which has
worked so well in Canada. That is 10
have a free trade In persons across
the border and establish IN Mexico,
with its consent. immigration Offices
10 inspect aliens landing there"
without record vote. the senate
rejected an amendment by Senator
King. democrat. Utah. dealing with
admittanee OF alien seamen. II would
have required every foreign ship 10
take away in her crew as many men
as she brought. providing n landing
card system Of Identification. and pro
hibiied the entry of any ship bring.
Ing aliens Of excluded nationalities.
The senate immigration committee,
Senator Reed Of Pennsylvania said
was practically unanimous in the be.
lief the subject would be dealt with In
