DEMOCRATIC CABI-
net BEGGED IN OIL
MESS AT CAPITAL
McADOO RECEIVES $3.50, OOO. FROM
DOHENY AND GREGORY IS AL
SO IMPLICATED.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the
stolen oil reserves Of Teapot Dome
of California is ordered by 12O to
4 vote in the house n the Walsh
resolution already approved by the
Senate.
The quagmire of the Doheny oil
scandal, which has wrecked the repu-
tations eff the Coolidge and Harding
cabinets, rose about the feet of the
leaders Of the Wilson administra-
ton in the sensational hearings be-
fore the senate oil committee this
afternoon.
William G. BTcAdoo, son-in-law of
Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of the
Treasury in the Wilson cabinet and
Thomas w. Gregory, former attorney
general, and the man selected by
Coolidge TO follow the present graft
trail, although Coolidge knew of his
oil connections, were publicly named
by Edward L. Doheny as paid retain
ers of his corporation.
DOHENY GAVE S25O,OOO
TO McADOO
Two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars was the price McAdoo re-
ceived, call told from cur company"
declared the multi-millionaire free
booter to the senate committeeman.
The quarter of million was paid
for services alleged to have been rem
dered shortly after McAdoo left the
cabinet.
"He still represents US in Mexico"
said Doheny.
AS for Wilson's attorney general,
Doheny said that "our company and
a half dozen others employed Mr.
Gregory to represent them before the
president in regard to getting per-
mits to drill oil wells in Mexico"
Coolidge bitches Gregory.
These revelations showing that
Coolidge selected a Doheny man to
investigate Doheny graft amazed
even some of the more hardbciled
senators in the committee. Reports
at the White House were that Gre
CORY would be withdrawn as special
government oil council.
The disclosure of the rewards
heaped on McAdoo so quickly after
he left Wilson's cabinet come at the
moment Rear Admiral Grayson is
denying visitors to his father-in-law
and late chief, who is said to be dy-
ing.

SECRETS HELD
OVER AT THE
MET

some irikling Of the extent Of
Norma Talmadge's popularity has
been shown by the crowds that
have viewed her in her latest
success Secrets at the Metro
poIitan Theater during the past
week.
The exquisite beauty that ID
Miss iTalmadge's, coupled with
the fine sympathy with which
she takes her roles has created
for her a following which one
large tlleater in one short week
cannot accommodate. In conse-
quence Secrets" will hold sway
at the Metropolitan for one more
week.
The picture is adapted from
the stage hit Of the same name
and offers Miss Talmadge a great
opportunity to demonstrate her
dramatic ability. 1t is beautiful
mot a sheer, fragile beauty as
might be expected but beautiful
in its clear strength with almost
a hint of grimness in its real
ity. It's purpose seems to be to
show the trials which real love
can endure and survive un-
scathed.
In the first part Miss Tai
madge is crinoline belle of
England. She falls. in love with
a poor clerk In her fathers en-
ploy and elopes with him to the
rough, new land of Afnerica
where she takes the role of a
young, pioneer wife who fights
side by side with her husband in
all the hardships which that life
represented. After they have
made their fortune they are
shown once more back in Eng
land where her husband has at
tanned the title of Sir John Carl
ton. Miss Talmadge is now q
woman of forty and the mother
Of four children. Again she
fights again for her husbands
love. In the beginning Miss Tai
madge was an old woman watch
ing beside the bedside Of her
sick husband and her story is
told as she turns the pages Of
am old diary in retrospection OF
her fifty years Of life. with her
husband. "
An amusing Aesop Fable ana
musical accompaniment by the
metropolitan Symphony complete
