Tempestuous Voyage
Is Safely Completed
By Giant Shenandoah

SAN DIEGO, Oct 21-The navy
dirigible Shenandoah, delayed for a
time by heavy fog, was brought to
the ground at the North island naval
air station at II o'clock today.
FoggY conditions early today had
prevented the navy dirisible Shenan.

The Shenandoah arrived over San
Diego after a tempestuous voyage
Gown the Pacific coast from Camp
Lewis, Washington.
At $50 o'clocl; the dirigible swept
down close to the North Island moor
ing mast but made no effort to tie
up.
The past twenty-fOur hours have
shown the vicissitudes of aerial naVi-

was driven backwards with all en-

at other times the ship sped through
the air faster than any ship of the
sea merely because the interference
of the air had failed
The Shenandoah beat the time of

eight hours. the actual running time
of the railroad between the two

POLYTECHNIC PLOT
IN TEAPOT LEASES
CHARGED BY j. 6.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22.-The gov
eminent today was ready to adduce
testimony in support of the charge
that a profiteerinG plot lay behind
the granting of Doheny interests in
1922 of certain contracts and leases
involving naval oil reserves in Cali
fDrnla in IT'S suit against the Pan
American Petroleum and Transport
company for cancellation oG those
contracts and leases.
Frank J. Eogan, chief counsel fer
the defense, said in his opening state
ment yesterday there was no profit
eering back of the oil lease transac-
lions and that they were based on a
desire to protect the United States
by providing at Pearl Harbor, Ha-
wall, a hoard of oil to fuel the coun-
.try's oil-burping dreadnaughts in a
possible war.
Far-sighted navy officials, n. Sec
rotary of the Interior Albert b. Fall,
clared. Mr.. Fall played but a pure
y formal and perfunctory part, -
said MIR Hogan.
the navy, and Admiral j. X. Robin
son, chief of the navy's engineering
bureau, he told the coprt, were the
real prime movers in the lease trans
actions, and their motive was to
convert crude oil thousands of feet
underground into fuel oil available
for instant use in wGr time.
Owen j. Roberts, special counsel
for the government, in opening the
case, stressed the connection of Adj
miral Robinson, but declared Robin
son was IAN intimate friend of Do
heny, Sr, and DOheny, Jr., and noti-
fled them that he had been made
chief of the engineering bureau as
soon as he received his appoint
ment."
Robinson then met in conference
with Mr.. Fall, also IL friend Of the
Doheny's and adopted an ''immedia-
ate program" whereby, with the ap-
prevail of Secretary DENLY, the Elk
Hills naval reserve was turned over
to the Pan-American Petroleum and
Transport company under IAN oil
swapping" arrangement whereby the
government was to receive Pearl
Harbor stores in return for Elk Hills
oil, Mr.. Roberts said.
He pointed as significant that cal
most Immediately after Robinson
stepped into office the fuel oil bu-
reau' which had been created in
1920 to supervise the operation of the
oil reserves, was abolished and
Robinson assumed responsibility for
the fuelng of naval vessels"

came another storm warning.
Shipping which was tied up yes

ing restrained in order that the
storm, which is scheduled around
Key West and Titusville, may devel-
op. Sailings from points along the
southeast Florida coast eastward be-
yond the Bahamas have been post

Punta Gorda and Fort Myers were
partially isolated, due to failure OF
telegraph Wires, but no serious dam
age nor any fatalities have been re-
ported from those places.
Little is known of the fate OF
Punta Gorda and Fort Myers,
which were said to have felt the
full force of the storm, which swept
