Arkansas, for immediate cancella-
tion of the lease of the Teapot Dome
naval oil reserve to the Sinclair
oil interests.
Caraway's motion that the senate
intervene Immediately probably will
be opposed on the ground that the
public lands committee is investigat-
ing the whole question and should
not be interfered with until its in
quiry is finished.
This is likely to lead to a spec
tacular fight with Democratic SEN
ators seeking to put the Republicans
on record. Teapot Dome is consid-
cred certain now to figure in the
campaign.
Caraway and Senator Hef1in, Ala
bama, have already served notice
that they intend to disclose to the
senate certain information regarding
Teapot Dome.
Developments Are Sensational
New and sensational developments
brought nearer the climax of the
Teapot Dome investigation, which
has stirred governmental and politi-
cal circles to their depths.
These developments included:
Peremptory summons to Albert B.
Fall, former secretary of the inter-
ior, who leased Teapot Dome naval
oil reserve to the Sinclair interests
and about whom the storm centers,
to appear at once before the senate
public lands committee investigating
the transaction. Fall, who is in
New Orleans, will arrive Friday to
testify.
A request to Harry Sinclair, oil
magnate who leased the rich naval
oil reserve and who last Wednesday
sailed for Europe to return and
show the committee the books of
the Hyva Corporation, which are
presumably in his possession, as they
were given to him just before he
sailed and were not returned to his
Office.
Coolidge Finally Acts.

dent Coolidge at the White House
that he had directed Attorney Gen
eraI Daugherty to take a hand in

to be overlooked which have reached
the president. Mr.. Coolidge has or
dered Daugherty to have a man at
the senate investigation and if evil
dence is disclosed warranting it, to
prosecute anybody who is guilty.
Announcement by Senator Cara
way, Arkansas, that tomorrow he will
ask the senate at once to act on a
resolution cancelling the lease Of Tea
pot Dome.
A statement by Fall at New Or
leans that it was not necessary for
the committee to subpoena him as
he was ready to testify.
A statement by Sinclair at Ply
mouth, England, where the ship
touched, that he never gave Fall any
money.
Caraway's demand tomorrow that
the senate act at once is expected
to be the signal for a heated discus
sion of the whole Teapot Dome scan
dial in the open senate and demands
for summary action against certain
individuals are in prospect.
After hearing testimony late to-
day from Sinclair's counsel, the SEN
ate committee adjourned subject to
the chairman's CALL
Somebody Lied.
Fall will be asked to explain where
he got 100000 to buy New Mex
leo ranch. His story and that of
f. B. Mclean, Washington publisher,
from whom Fall said he borrowed
the money, conficted.
Zevely will be asked to explain
what he did with $4,000 Sinclair
stock and $4,000 Liberty bonds,
which G. d. Wahlberg, Sinclair's
secretary, told the senate Investigate
ing committee were given to Zevely.
Senator Caraway, Arkansas. today
gave notice in the senate that he
would move tomorrow to have the
senate public land committee re-
lieved of further consideration of
resolution for cancellation of the
Teapot Dome and other naval oil
reserve leases and have it consid-
cred at once by the senate.
Want Sinclair
The senate committee today on
resuming its hearing, asked counsel
for Harry Sinclair, oil man who
leased Teapot Dome, to have Sinclair
appear as soon as possible. G. e..
Stanford, Sinclair's counsel, said he
would cable Sinclair at once to re-
turn.
