Senator Walsh : solution
ls Agreed TO- Plans Map
ped At White House.
BY KENNETH w. CLARK,
International News Service.


The Federal Government moved
definitely today to cancel. the
naval reserve oil leases made by
former Secretary Of the Interior
Albert B. Fall with the Sinclair
and Doheny interests.
While the White House was
taking swift steps to appoint two
nationally known lawyers-one
Republican and one Democrat
to inaugurate court action to re-
cover the leases, Senator Thomas
]. Walsh (Dem.) Of Montana, the
Senate's prime prosecutor, sub
mitted his resolution in the Sem
ate, directing the President 10
take such action, and to stop fur
Their extraction of oil from the
great reserves at Teapot Dome
and Elk Hills.
Passage is Predicted.
Passage Of the Walsh resolution
before the sun goes down. was
freely predicted. Several hours OF
stormy debate promised to preceds
this action.
Names Of many nationally known
attorneys were considered at the
White House over Sunday to take
charge Of the Governments inter-
ests Independently Of the Depart
ment Of Justice.
Among these were John w. Davis,
potential candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presi-
dency: Henry L. Stimson. Republi-
can Secretary Of War In Taft'e
Cabinet; Sherman L. Whipple Dem.)
of Boston; Charles B. Warren Repl
Of Michigan; former Senator Alice
Pomerene Dem) of Ohio, and G.
A. Severance Rep) OF st. Paul,
former head of the American Bar
Association.
President Coolidge has already
selected a tentative list Of several
attorneys of note, to whom he, has
addressed kilograms OF inquiry as to
whether they are available for the
duty required. As soon as replies
are. received, the White House will
announce those designated.
Cooperation Is Arranged.
While the special counsels win be
independent OF the Department of
Justice, they win have the fullest
assistance and aid from the depart
ment in the court action to regain
the lands.
This was determined upon in a
conference between the President,
Acting Attorney General SEYMOUR
and = Assistant Attorney General
Rush Holland, who has been attend
ing the Senate Public Lands Com
mittee's investigation Of the leases.
Attorney General Daugherty
wired President Coolidge from
Miami, Fla. approving the decision
to have the suits handled without
employment OF counsel within the
Department of Justice.
LAS you know, IL do not desire
to evade any responsibility In this
or other matters. but considering
that Mr.. Fall and served in the
Cabinet together, this would be
fair to you, to. Mr.. Fall, the De-
partment of Justice and my associ-
ates and assistants therein" Daugh-
erty said.
Daugherty has been criticized on
the floor of the Senate "as not be-
ing above suspicion" in connection
with the leases. This was said -

Dynamite in House. !.
It was learned from neighbors
that Adelard Hamel, who was
killed with his family. had 200
pounds Of dynamite in his home.
Immediately after gas from a leak
ing pipe exploded in the Conway
tenement, the dynamite according
to Investigators, fell to the cellar.
The defamation that followed tore
the building apart. When not en-
ployed in the Manville mills, Hamel
worked as a wood chopper. He is
said to have used the dynamite for
blasting stumps.
Nearby Buildings Rocked.
Buildings were rocked and win
dows shattered within xadius of
nearly two miles.
The blast came when an oil lamp
was lighted in the Conway tene-
ment. An effort had previously been
made to detect leaking gas pipe.
The victims were Adelard Hamel,
his wife, Marie; their eleven chill

MUST CAPTURE BRIDE.
Strange Custom in Bali Island, in
Indian Archipelago.
From the Baltimore Sun,

From the Baltimore Sun.
Marriage in Bali. an island of the
Indian Archipelago, is a matter of
purchase or to capture. An exchange
of ardent glances in temple or
market place, and perhaps few
clandestine meetings, tell the lover
the lady is not averse to abduction.
He knows, however, that If he is
caught in the act of carrying her off
her willingness will not satisfy
father or brother; so he lays his
plans carefully and smuggles her
away in absolute secrecy.
After few days in hiding the
bridegroom sends a friend to his brides
parents to ask their forgiveness.
Though the messenger invariably is
received with great show of hostility,
But if the third visit of the "go-
between" is without result, the lover
and his bride are doomed to banish-
ment from their village and people
