WALSH ANXIOUS TO GET
 CHANCE AT OIL MAGNATE
Wants to Question Him on Paying Million Dollars for silcncins
 Newspaper.

Washington, March 24.--Replyine to Sinclair's statement that he had been called before the Teapot Dome committee i've times. Senator Walsh today said that was chiefly by req son ot the fact that the Witness failed to disclose all of the material facts in his knowledge" during his previous appearances.
 "It leaked out. little by little," Senator Walsh said. He did not tell anything more than he was obliged 10 tell under searching inter rogation."
 Sinclair. the senator said, had not told tine committee ''how he paid million dollars for fake claims on Teapot Dome and then paid another million to purchase the silence of a newspaper" adding:
 "lt was to avoid inquiry into thst matter that he declined 10 answer"
 Senator Walsh read the Sinclair statement declaring the loan Of s25.- 900 to Fall had been negotiated without secrecy"
 "T don't know how 1t could have been made more secret" Senator Walsh said. "Zevely himself J. w.. Zeyely. sinclair's attorney) made q trip to New Mexico in that connec- tion and bonds were transferred by express to a bank named by Senator Fall. How would the committee or the public ever have known Of the transaction, save through the rigid cross examination of witnesses"
 Senator Moses, republican. New Hampshire. presiding. said 1t was the opinion of the chair that action by the president Of the senate was au- tomatic under the statutes and the motion offered by Senator Walsh was unnecessary.
 since he has offered if, however" Senator Moses continued. ''it would seem best to have the decision of the senate recorded"
 Senators Lodge, republican. Masss- chusetts, and Wadsworth, republican, New York. both suggested it would have been better If the committee had rendered some sort of conclu. sion instead of what Mir. Lodge de- scribed as merely an excerpt from the proceedings"

John Gardiner Of New York, prtitioned the courts for the oustinr of Jardine as guardian and The substitution of himself While the case was being heard, Mir. Jardine was made defendant in s25.o0Q alienation of affections suit and MT. Gardiner vas named in an action brought in New York by Mary coak- ley. formerly a maid in the Gordon household.
 Mrs. Catherine F. Hughes, sister Of
 orothy Gordon's mother, also enter | the guardianship fight in Decem- her, 1921, as an heir-at-law in the Gordon estate.
 Before a decision vak rendered on lhe allowance of the Jardine accounts, judge Lesgat appointed Attorney aDonorhue permanent guardian. since then Mfr. o'Donoghue has kept careful watch over his ward. He was told by the physicians that Miss Cor. don was showing improvement and about three weeks ago obtained their permission for a transfer.

CURB REVIEW

New York, March 2t.-Tradlng in standard oil issues on the curb mar ket today vas about evenly balanced all through the season between &C., emulation coming largely from in- terests concerned in control of the various properties offset by the per- sistent offerings from room traders who expected the position of these is- sues would be further disturbed by the congressional investigations. Ohio oil moved up about one point and fractional gains were made in Inter- national ePtroleum, end Standard oil of Indiana. Vacuum oil continued one of the chief features, being under pressure in the early trading, but was firmly held after . fractional de- cline. Prairie Oil and Gas felded some two points after an early gain, but was in demand again and rallied sharply from its low level.
 Independent oil stocks generally were firm. Announcement was made that F. W. Baker of London had been eelcted chairman Of the board of di- rectors Of Laeo Petroleum.
 A frmer tone was shown in the in- dustriai list generally, Jordon Motor moving up point following the sn- uouncement of application to list that stsck on the stock exchange. Durant Motor also advanced one point in the early trading. and a fractional gain was made in Eco Motor. Am- erican Gas and Electric was fea- ture in the public utility grour. nov ing up two points. Dubilisr reflected renewed accumulation, making . fractional advance. There was eon- tinued absorption of Hudson and Manhattan, which made a further gain. while Hudson company. pre- ferred. receded slightly. Radios were quiet and virtually unchanged.
