Tiffin Gilmore, an Ohio State official,
who was in the Wood campaign at
the Republican national convention at
Chicago in 1920, opened this phase of
the investigation by relating rumors
he heard that Gen. Leonard Wood had
been offered support for the nomina-
ton if he would let oil interests name
the Secretary OF the Interior in his
Cabinet, If elected.
Gilmore had no evidence: only
stories repeated to him by an individ-
ual he described as Wood publicity
man from Des Moines, Iowa" Ac-
cording to his story Wood turned the
proposal down as a SHADY deal"
The witness did not know whether
Jake Hamop. Oklahoma oil promotion
and politician had been, involved as
related by Leonard Wood, Jr.
Conversation Is Vague
He told of a conversation with Car
mi Thompson Of Ohio, a Harding sup
porter, about oil lands. but this talk
was so vague 1t shed no light on the
rumors OF an oil deal"
, Gilmore said he went to the last
Republican national convention with
the Columbus contingent that was
with General Leonard Wood He was
associated with the Wood forces dur
ing the primaries.
what story did the publicity man
tell you?"
THE story about the offer to-
oil
operators had offered their dele
gates to Wood if ne would allow
them to name the Secretary Of
the Interior" Gilmore said. IT
do not know who made the offer
to General Wood. I could not
even swear that he was ap-
preached"
What oil companies we're at that
convention?" Senator Bursum asked.
Ibid you gather the impression that
Jake Hamon had something to do with
this deal?"
Hamon Mentioned
IT don't know what oil companies
were there I do think, however. that
a young man named Motter told me
Hamon was mixed up in 1t. Motter
was from Oklahoma but not a dele
gate"
Who was around Wood headquar-
ters?" Walsh asked Gilmore.
George Sunday. Billy Sundays
son: Charles H Gerrish. Harry e.
Wolf. George Berber. Harry A. Nc

Shall Fare
Go Up by
Default?

IT1HE Indianapolis Street
Railway Company has filed
its petition for increased fare
with the public service commits
sion, the only authority with
power to order such an increase.
The commission is empowered
and expected to hear BOTH
SIDES of a rate question, that
of the users of a public service
as well as of the utility asking
for an increase.
Who is going to look after the
pubic's interests
The company is prepared to
go before the commission with
experts. 1t win present the
testimony of engineers and ac-
countants with interminable
complicated facts and figures.
The public interest, unless
somebody acts soon, probably
will be inadequately represented
or not represented at ALL The
company says it must have more
money and it proposes, among
other things, 7-cent cash fare,
which, it says, will produce the
amount necessary.
There is some question as to
whether the company with more
efficient conservation and dis
tribution of costs, could not OBJ
tain more money without in
creasing rates. If the rates
must be increased, there is a
question of whether the rates
proposed are not too high.
These are questions that should
be answered before any action is
taken on the petition. The city
administration is inclined to
agree with the company that it
needs an increase. It is not pre-
pairing to make a fight against
higher carfare.
l.
At present it appears the case
will be won by the company by
default, unless some one who
will compel the company to show
good cause for an increase
steps in.
What about the thousands Of
street car riders who are not con-
vineed that an increase is neces-
sary, or who at least would like
to be shown in a public hear
ing?

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-Senate
investigators of Attorney General
Daugherty today hunted facts con-
cerning charges the Department of
Justice refused to prosecute lottery
concerns In Texas, in spite Of repeat
ed reports to Washington the law was
being violated.
The inquiry centered around in
quiries of the activities of the United
Home Builders in Texas and the re-
luctance of Federal District Attorney
Seweifel to proceed against the con-
Germ without direct orders from Wash
ington.
Ruling Is Made
From T. D. Dawkins, postal in
spector at Dallas, the committee final
ly learned prosecution of this concecn
was withheld because an assistant at
tornty general attached to the post
office department had rendered an
opinion holding that, with certain
changes, the operations of other COM
panies engaged in similar activities
would be satisfactory to the postoffice
department. This opinion. DawlEins
said was believed to have hurt any
chances of conviction against the
United Home Builders.
Following the examination of
Dawkins, the committee adjourned
until 10 a. m, Thursday.
