ally in trying to prevent the confisca- tion of his valuable petroleum proper tics in Mexico. representing several hundred million dollars, it appealed to me because of my general knowledge of the oil industry and of Mexican and Latin American relations gained in the manner I have described. and because it was in line with the de- clared policy of the administration to protect American properties against confiscation in Mexico.
 'I believed that an opportunity was presented to render a genuine service, outside of my professional work. in promoting Latin American commerce. and more particularly in contributing to the protection Of all American rights in Mexico, if retroactive and confiscatory effect to Article 27 of the Mexican constitution could be pre- vented
 This, with my letter of February [, 1924, gives the history of my pro- fessional connection with the Dohcny companies. The service l have ren- dered to them was in good faith and in full satisfaction for the fees that have been paid. I owe them nothing and they owe me nothing"
 Mr. McAdoo declared that he had severed his professional relations with Doheny on February 2, the day after tho oil magnate last appeared before the committee.

McADOO SAYS HE TOOK DOHENY'S JOB FROM ALTRUISTIC MOTIVES; WANTED
 TO AID IN PROTECTING OIL SUPPLY
Denies Collision in Scandal and Demands Merciless Punishment of Those Guilty-Asks All Parties to Cooperate in Bringing Govt. Back to Honestly"

Washington, Feb. 11.-William c. McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury. and candidate for the democratic nomination for president, emphasized before the senate oil committee today that his professional relations with E. l.. Doheny, recently terminated. were ''in good faith,' and dad nothing to do with the leasing of naval oil reserves.
 There at Own Request
 Appearing at his own request be- cause of testimony given by Mir, Doheny as to his employment in connection with Mexican Oil matters, MT. McAdoo declared:
 T think 1t may fairly be presumed that, If my name was not prominently mentioned in connection with high office, my private practice as lawyer would be of no interest to this com mittee or 10 the public"
 Demands Punishment
 Asserting that the faith of the people in their own government is shaken because of developments in the oil inquiry, he declared this question transcends political parties and partisan considerations" and that the first duty, the imperative duty of the hour is mercilessly to uncover and to bring to public view and scorn and punishment everyone who has betrayed the public trust or who has been guilty of wrongdoing in this humiliating and dangerous affair"
 Crime Against Public
 Tt would be a crime against tho public" he said, If the dragging of innocent people into this affair should divert attention from the guilty to prevent the discovery Of those who have betrayed the public trust"
 His statement, which was in the nature of an elaboration of his recent letter to Chairman Lenroot Of the committee dealing with his services as counsel to the Doheny companies, follows:
 Text of statement.
 "I am informed by your chairman that already there has been inserted in the record the letter l addressed to him on February :, 1924, setting forth in detail the facts concerning the professional services rendered by my former law firm in New York. Messrs. MeAdoo. Cotton and Frank lin, and subsequently by myself. in Los Angeles, in connection with the Mexican properties of Mir. Doheny's companies. 1t is clearly shown in my letter and in the testimony before
New Britain herald., 1924-02-11

the committee that neither they nor l have had any relation whatever to the leases made of the Teapot Dome and California naval reserve. There is, therefore, nothing more to be said on that score. But I have sought the privilege of appearing before you in person for the purpose of con- tributing in any way in my power as q private citizen to the objects of this inquiry.
 Country Will Be Judge.
 ''It has been assumed that honor- ably conducted law practice Of a citizen holding no public office is not ordinarily a subject for congressional inquiry. l think it may fairly be presumed that if my name was not prominently mentioned in connection with high office. my private practice as d lawyer would be Of no interest to this committee or to the public. Whether or not it has been drawn into this inquiry to serve & partisan political purpose, the country will judge.
 Tt would be q crime against the public il the dragging of innocent people into this affair should divert attention from the guilty or prevent the discovery of those who have be- trayed the public interest. The whole country is shocked and ap- palled by what has been revealed in this investigation. The fact that a former cobinet officer of this adminis- traitor is already gravely involved. has raised a strong suspicion in the public mind that others may be guilty. The faith of the people in their own government is shaken and the damaging effects upon public morale are so grave that the security of democratic institutions is seriously imperilled. The first duty, the inn perative duty of the hour. is merci- lessly to uncover and to bring to pub lie view and scorn and punishment everyone who has betrayed the public trust or who has been guilty of wrongdoing in this humiliating and dangerous affair.
 No Partisan Issue
 This question transeends political parties and partisan considerations. Clean and incorruptiblc government is vital not alone to republicans and democrats, but to every citizen. For my part I am eager to sec partisan ship stillod in the face Of so grave a danger 10 our common country. It would be m inspiration to sec men and women in private life and par

the season. The Rotarians and the
Odd Fellows were the combatants.

take a basket to carry in their errors.
They struck at anything that came in
