case" against Daugherty and Sec
retary of the Navy Denby
John c. Shaffer, publisher of the
Indianapolis Star and other news
papers, told the committee today he
received $92, 600 for services in con-
nection with Harry F. Sinclair's pay
ment to the Pioneer Oil Company of
$1,000. 600 for claims to Teapot Dome.
Shaffer said he had one-eighth in
terest in the Pioneer, but had per-
formed no services and had put up no
money.
Fall knew Illegality
Former Secretary Fall knew the
proposed payment of naval oil in stor-
age tank construction had been held
Illegal when he made the arrangement
with z. l.. Doheny. Arthur l.. Sutro
told the committee today.
Sutro. in an opinion to his company
found in the interior files ruled the
proposed exchange of oil for storage
was an absurdity, under the law, and
that the act of 1920 gave the secre-
tary of the navy no power to do this.
He said Assistant Secretary of the
Interior Finney told him Fall did not
consider II necessary TO get a ruling
from Attorney General Daugh gherty on
this point.
Five Officials Concerned
The transcript showed five Govern
ment officials took part in the discus
Notwithstanding contrary testimony
given to this committee" Sutro said.
Walsh read minutes of the Pioneer
company showing Shaffer was given
one-eighth interest. Shaffer said he
never saw the minutes and did not
attend the meeting of Pioneer direc-
tors.
They simply made you a present
Of your one-eighth interest?" Walsh
asked
Yes, sir"
What did you give up to get this
interest?"
Nothing
Produces Shafier Letter
Walsh produced a letter written by
Shaffer to Judge Finney, assistant
secretary OF the interior.
"Mr. Fall had arranged with Mr..
Sinclair for some acreage in TEAPOT
Dome for me personally" the letter
said.
Shaffer said he had a claim because
ne had spent $4,000 in developing
land adjacent to Teapot Dome.
WAS it your opinion that anybody
who spent any money was privileged
to get part of the Sinclair lease from
Fall?"
81 think any one was privileged to
ask for it,
Fall assured him he would get 200
acres out of the Sinclair lease, Shat
fer said, but he never got the land.
Sinclair then agreed to set aside 42O
acres and give Shaffer half the profits.
This would have given me 210
acres" Shaffer said. But Sinclair
wanted to develop the land himself
and so 1 never signed the contract
with him.
"I have no contract with Sinclair
now"
Under questioning by Chairman
Lenroot, Shaffer said the Pioneer gave
the one-eighth ipterest-which yield
ed him $92, ,000--Nfor 81 and other val
liable services"
What were the other valuable serv-
ices?" Lenroot asked.
! Shaffer said he was to help the Pho
neer in an attempt to get the Teapot
Dome lease. He did not say in what
way he was to help.

crat, brought out that Shaffer was

NATIONS DISAGREE
ON OPIUM CONTROL
France Would Restrict Only

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, July 15.-Failure still
marks the efforts of the special gov
ernmental delegates who are trying
to agree on the draft of convention
which will be submitted to the big
international opium conference IN
November. The opinions of the eX-
pertS show wide divergence, with
France and Holland on one side and
England on the other.
France is holding out for the limit
ing of the opium and narcotic drug
trade by a strict control of contra
band and illegal sales rather than by
direct limitations of manufacture.
England desires Il convention which
will limit the manufacture in all
countries.
II is understood that il the United
States cannot obtain the acceptance
of her fundamental principle of limit
ing the production of opium and CO.
Goa leaf, she will at least back Eng
land in the efforts to limit the manu-
facture of drugs. Edwin Neville, tn
American delegate, was not preS'&' {
at the recent private meeting of te
experts. AnotheE meeting of t.e
delegates will be held in Angus in
cola boration with the league of Ia
tions' permanent advisory commits

CHICAGO, July 1J.-Though cred

expression when reused, Gen. Charles
Dawes has since his nomination for
Vice President acquired a reputation
ror reticencc almost rivaiirg that of

of his friends that he is deferring his
fire until he has loaded his guns and
that he is giving the campaign and
its issues the same study he is said
10 have given the budget and repa-
rationS questions was supported last
night by the discovery that Gen.
Dawes called at Republican national
committee headquarters to seek in
formation. He WAS in -nsultation
with Secretary Roy 0. West and
others.

Butler, who was expected back from
