Mr.. Bonfils came all the way from
Denver, Col, to accept Mr.. DENLY s
invitation. Having interests other
than his newspaper. and being we'll
off, Mr.. Bonfils didn't have 10
worry about his expenses thus far
on his trip. And as he is to be
Mr.. Denbys guest while in south
ern waters, we have a right to
assume that Mr.. DENLY, as good
host, will see to it that everything
at the disposal of Mr.. DENLY will
be freely offered his Colorado
guest.
For a newspaperman, Mr.. Bonfils
is very lucky. AS you probably
have already read, he told the
investigating committee yesterday
of one piece of luck. He prefaced
his story with the statement that
as he was familiar with some trans
actions regarding Teapot Dome, it
had occurred to him that perhaps
the information he had would he
of value to the committee. Asked Il
that was the sole purpose of his
trip East he admitted it wasn't.
I'm going to Panama" he said,
''to witness the naval maneuvers."
AS Guest OF DENLY.
Gas a guest of Secretary Denby?"
suggested Senator Walsh.
And Mr.. Bonfils nodded his head.
Then the Colorado publisher told
his story about Teapot Dome. In
simple language, and without going
into contracts and conferences and
court proceedings it appears that
one John Leo Stack, whom Mr.. Bon
fills described as a regular fellow"
came to him in his Denver office
one day and complained that the
Sinclair oil interests weren't doing
right by him. It was after the Sin.
clair people had acquired Teapot
Dome from Mr.. Fall.
Prior thereto, Mr.. Stack had en-
tered into a contract with E. l..
Doheny whereby Stack was to help
get Doheny into the Dome. Then
Doheny got cold feet and quit and
Sinclair walked right in to Mr..
Falls office and turned around and
walked right out again with a lease
to Teapot Dome all signed and
everything.
That left Mr.. Stack out in the
cold and he figured he had been
double crossed. So right away he
went to see Mr.. Bonfils, and he
must have told Bonfils a lot of
things because Bonfils sent his best
reporter right out to investigate the
whole affair. But first Of all or
right afterwards or whenever It was
he made a contract with Stack pro.

Therefore he Is not the sort Of per-
son to whom you should confide
the management Of the Federal
Naval Oil Reserve"
Nevertheless, within a few days
thereafter, the Navy Department
proceeded by presidential executive
order to hand its oil lands over to
Mr.. Fall.
Purposes Of La Toilette.
That is the political meaning and
purpose Of the new La Toilette
senatorial resolution for looking
into the affairs Of the Honolulu
company.
It is intended to show that the
Navy Department was warned
against Mr.. Fall by his, own act as
a convinced anti-congervation and
that nevertheless It proceeded to
allow him to be the manager of
the navy's oil lands.
Thus the web continues to grow
around the whole oil policy Of the
Government and the spinner Of the
web, 1t now begins to be noted
with some alarm, Is the third.party
