HARDING KNEW
Of CLAIMS ON
SINCLAIR
Letter From Fall Discussed
Threatened Suits by Bon
fills Crowd.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

President Harding, before his
death, was informed that the Bon.
fills crowd in Denver was making de-
mands upon Harry Sinclair on Tea
pot Dome. The information was
given him by Secretary Fall.
That assumption Is very plain to
be draw Vn from a letter which Mr..
Fall wrote the President and which
Is herewith published, in part.
Bonfils and Shaffer are Denver
newspaper men. The former, with
his group, was paid $250,00O cash
and a promise Of $4,000 more by
Sinclair for their claims at Tea.
pot Dome. Shaffer was paid $685..
600. The formers newspaper was
cr1ticising Fall on the naval leases.
The latter says he doesn't remember
whether he was publishing anything
about 1t.
The following is an abstract from
a letter sent to President Harding
on June 8, 1922, by Secretary FAN,
In which he discusses the threat
ened suits for claims on Teapot
Dome, newspaper agitation" and
personal financial welfare:
while as a lawyer deprecating
litigation, and particularly when the
object Of the same may be other
than a fine legal conclusion of legal
rights, yet it may be, il litigation
between such parties were to ensue
in this case, the clearing Of the at
Inosphere might disclose the identity
Of some parties really in interest in
newspaper and other agitation and
may result in disclosing the fact
that, while prior to full under
standing of the results reached In
the contract relating to the Teapot
Dome, many perfectly sincere ana
thoroughly honest and conscientious
people thought there might be some
thing to criticise. AS a matter of
fact, such criticism may have been
largely brought about by parties In
terested in their own financial vel.
fare in forcing, not from the Gov
eminent, but from other parties,
some financial concessions"

FISH TAGGED To
SEE HOW FAR
THEY SWIM
Government Employs Men In
Connection With Studies
of Travel Habits.

How would you like to have q
job tagging" fish? The men shown
in the accompanying photograph
earn their living that way. They
are Capt. J. B. Carlson and William
s. Schroeder or the ship Halcyon,
owned by the Government. They
are shown with a fish they call
bad Money" because he has come
back to them three times. They
caught this fish IN the Pacific,
clamped an aluminium tag on its
tail and turned it loose. The third
and last time they recaught it, the
fish was more than 100 miles from
the spot where it had first been
hauled up.
The Government employs these
and other men to tag fish In con-
nection with its studies Of the
habits Of fish. It is interested in
finding out what kinds of fish stay
at home and what kinds travel
great distances. That information,
Of course, is Of value to fishermen.
The best way to learn, the Govern.
ment figures, iS to tag fish when
they are first caught and then
throw them overheard again.
Work of this kind is being done
in Alaskan waters. off the coasts
Of New England and the st. Law
renee delta, and far south on both
coasts. running sometimes to the
limits Of Florida and Lower Cali
fornia waters. The northern waters
are worked mainly in the summer
and the southern in winter though
some work is done in all regions
throughout the year.

qualified and during his con-
tinuance in office, and that no

mitted to any share or part in

bid public servants from max
ing private profit from their
personal acts shall apply to the
lease.
