VANDERBILT IN
SPEECH ASKS
STAR INQUIRY
Purchase Price Too Large,
Says Banker


NEW YORK, Feb. 49,
Frank A. VanderIip, New York
financier, today indirectly de-
manded an inquiry into the
conditions Of sale of "a certain
Marion newspaper, which sold
for $55O,OOO, when it was well
known to everyone that it was
not worth half that sum-"
Vanderlip today was SUBJ
poenaed by the Senate Teapot
Dome Committee to appear be-
fore it tomorrow morning.
Chairman Lenroot called
Vanderlip because of the lat
ter's statements regarding need
for congressional investigation
Of the sale of the Marion Star.
owned by the late Presiden.
Harding.
Explaining the summons Of Wander
LIP, Senator Lenroot said:
Certain insinuationa have beeA
made by Mr.. VardeEky psxAzrt TIA
late PRESIDENT HaS1S&g. 1hs ap1I
mittw desires to IHsw what he
meant. W war to know what rea
son he sad Tor making sucA a state
ment. The wMnittee has no infor-
nation touching on this subject. but
we desire to know all the facts"
Vanderlip Only Has Thoughts.
Vanderlip in New York TODAY said
he had no personal knowledge of the
matter, but thought there should be
a congressional inquiry to clear
President Harding's good name Of
Washington rumors regarding the
sale of his newspaper.
Behind the scenes here, there has
been private comment about the
Of money received in the sale
OF the Star. 1t sold for S550,00O.
Louis Brush of Marion, purchaser
of the Marion Star from the late
President Harding, will not be sub
poened to tell about the sale Of the
Star until after Vanderlip has testi-
ned, Senator Walsh announced.
We want to hear all that Mr..
has to say before we call
other Witnesses" Walsh said.
Vanderbilt Wants Investigation.
A congressional investigation t.
clear President Harding's good
name Of Washington rumors regard
ing the sale Of his newspaper, The
Marion Star, was urged today By
Frank A. Vanderlip, in an interview
with newspapermen at his Office here.
Vanderlip thus explained his speech
on the same subject delivered last
night before the Ossining Rotary
Club, during a banquet at Briarcliff
Lodge.
He delivered any personal lxnowI-
edge OF the facts in "The Kettle of
Washington Gossip" but added that
this gossip outrages the name of the
lead President and should be cleared
up"
Vanderlip emphasized that all he
knew about the sale Of the Marion
Star is that it was sold FOR over
s65O,O0O, when it was not worth half
~ that" and, therefore, that Presi-
lent Harding's name is Floating
round in the kettle Of scandal sim
nering at Washington"
There seems to be a policy Of
silence on the part Of the press with
'egard to using President Harding's
lame in connection with the Washing
on Scandals" said Vanderlip. "The
newspapers do not want to look I'M

CITES POPE LEO,
CRUSADES, PROOF
FOR CITIZENSHIP
Testing Eligibility o.
y Armenians in
Oregon
BY United Press Leased Wire

PORTLAND, May 9.-Quotations
for Pope Leo, the fifth, testimony
going back to the Crusades and
statements of anthropologists form
ed the greater part of the evidence
being presented today in a case on
trial in federal court here which
may make Armenians ineligible to
American citizenship.
The ease was instituted bv the
government against Tates o. Carte
zian, Armenian rug dealer and
wealthy.
1t is designed to decide the cit
izenship issue jas affecting Armen
ians, just as supreme court decisions
recently decided the question of Jap
'anese and Hindu eligibility of ma
turalization.
The government charges that Ar
menians are of Asiatic origin and
are net white' in the meaning of
the term as used in 1890 when the
basis of America S citizenship laws
was laid.
The government testimony was
DfleI, consisting OF readings from
scientific works, supporting its the
orv.
The defense was offering its tes-
tinloney today
M. Nartan Malcom of New York
testified that there are 52,S40 Ar
menians at present in America, 10,-
600 of whom are in California.
Mrs. Otis y. Lampson, formerly
teacher at Nassar and later at
fashionable school in Cleveland,
Ohio, quoted Pope Leo the fifth as
differentiating between Armenans
and other peoples of Asia Minor
because the Armonians gave liber-
ally to the Crusaders.
Fatos Caftoziai, defendant and
Aram Crtoziau, brother, testified
how Armenians have been admitted
to lodges, generally credited with
beiug highly sclectivc, without
question. Aram said he was a SIND
