APPEARS UNLIKELY
Special Counsel Declare Nee
eSSary Dependable Wit
neSSeS Are Lacking,

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Lack of
witnesses essential to a criminal pros
ecution threatened today to prevent
such prosecution in connection with
the oil leasing scandal.
Atlee Pomerene and. Owen J. Rob
erts, President Coolidge's special coun-
sci, told the Senate Teapot Dome Com
mittee there was not one witness who
could be depended on to prove viola
ton of the criminal laws against any
body involved in the leacing scandal
: Committee members said they
agreed with the counsel
The counsel probably will confine
their. efforts therefore to a suit in
equity, designed to cancel the Teapot
Dome and California leases and re-
store the reserves to the Government.
Confer With Coolidge
Following a conference with the
President, Pomerene and Roberts
made arrangements for a meeting with
the Senate Teapot Dome committee.
President Coolidge personally hand
ed the two counsels their commissions
just signed by him when they entered
his room at the White House.
Roberts brought as his assistants
George G. Chandler and U. ]. Men
gent of Philadelphia. Pomerene
brought A. J. Powell and John Demp-
sey OF Cleveland.
Assistants Clean Records
The assistants today were going
through the files of the congressional
record and the report of the Senate
public lands committee hearing
Inquiry was being made to see
whether the action would have to be
brought in separate States in which
the oil reserves are located. or
whether the actions could be com
bined in some court that has juris-
fiction over all the leases.

MATTISON COLE REVUE

Five great Keith vaudeville acts are the feature attraction at the Capitol starting today and for the balance of the week. The headliner is Mattison and Cole with their Broadway Society orchestra. Here is a wonderful, pair of entertainers who are great singers and dancers who have surrounded themselves with jazz band. Norton and Brewer offer Bug House Fables they both being conversational come dians who converse along the most ir- rational lines. Their sense of eXag- geration is as great as their sense of comedy and between the two they of- fer little melody. Manning and Glass are wire walkers, but of diff ferent nature than most acts of this kind as this couple perform tricks and dance upon the thin thread of steel wire. They dance as we'll as thosc dancers who use the floor. Laughlin and West have a comedy skit, "The Little Spectator" which is full of or iginal wit and bright sayings and will make a hit with Capitol patrons. Will J. Ward is probably the greatest monologists in vaudeville today and his witty stories and. fun will be much to the amusement of all. The photo- play feature offers Constance Tal- madge in her latest production 'Dul- cy." being the story of a. beautiful dumb bell" On Monday of next week the Capital will again offer by request Al Moore and his |. $. Jazz band. These are the boys who made big hit here a few months ago and it Is really at the request of many that they will appear again in brand new num- berg,

HARTFORD BOUT RATED
 AS BEST OF THE YEAR
Terry Parker Of Boston Is Given De- cision Over Willie Shugrue of Waterbury

Ln the- best Hartford fight of the year Terry Parker of Boston was awarded the decision over Willie shugrue of Waterbury after 12 rounds of furious milling at Foot Guard hall last evening.

In the first four rounds the fighting was fast with both men showing that they were good, hard, clean punching fighters and neither afraid to take it. Shugrue took the fourth by virtue of a number of points he scored on the , nfighting. The fifth was even. In the sixth Parker landed a torrid right to l. Shugrue's jaw and the Waterbury boy was on Woozy street for the rest of that round although fighting hard at the bell. In the seventh Parker earn : cd the round by his aggressiveness. , The eighth was even. with the ninth ' going to Shugrue and the tenth being , even. The 1lth was even as was the
 T. 2th. At the end of the mill Referee Tynan raised Parkcr's hand. The de- , cision while close was not satisfactory ! to the crowd as a whole, as a good many believed Shugrue deserved at
 least a draw.

 "THENDERGATE" AT PALACE

Lovers of thrilling drama have a treat in store for them in Thunder gate" q First National picture which opened today at the Palace theater.
 While the principal action in this pulse -quickening play is laid in China, amid the colorful and pretentiousness of the Orient, the story chiefly con- cerns Americans, who become involv- ed in exciting adventures in that coun- try of mysticism, mystery and rom ancc.
 The colorful and somewhat unusual background enhances the highly dra- matic story which the picture unfolds and one fairly feels himself trans formed to the Orient as he sits in the audience and follows the exciting ad- ventures of the characters of the play.
 The other feature offers the Yale university presentation of James town" the second Of the 'Chvonicles of America" series which is the story of the first settlement in America. Next Monday will offer "West of the Water Tower" with Glen Hunter, Er- nest Terrence and May McAvoy.
