the senate public lands committee to-
day. Ballard said he was a friend
Of the late Jake Hamon.
The offer was advanced by oil In

'1)o you mean 20 charge" asked
Senator Stanfieid. republican Of Ore
gon. that there was a conspiracy AT
Chicago to give Teapot Dome TO the
oil interests?"
Certainly I do. Teapot Dome was
the dominant question at Chicago
replied Ballard.
stanfieId then demanded that Bal.
lard give the names "of three reputa-
Bile men who will bear out your fes-
timony."
"If you will call the editor Of the
Los Angeles Times. Harry Chandler.
he will tell the same story" said Bal
lard. There Is also a man who has
been before your committee. Mr.. Do
heny. and then Mr.. Hearst. II he
would only tell the story"
do they know Of your converse
ton with Hamon?" asked stanfield.

that he spent 100000 peryious 20

In the same conversation, Ballard
declared. Hamon told him he had
made an offer 20 Wood but that
Wood refused 10 listen TO any deals"
Opposition Too Strong
Hamon was bitter. He said the
opposition Al the convention was too
strong: that Harry Sinclair had beat
him TO II and that Teapot Dome was
to be leased within year after the
new administration came In. Ballard
said.
Under questioning by Spencer. Bal.
