Central Leather common dropped 1 l-i and the preferred |. Baltimore X Ohio preferred and Seaboard Air Line pre- ferred each dropped E but Pere
 Marquette advanced a point. Foreign exchanges opened firm.
 Wall street noon--Resumption of
 bear attacks brought about a general 1 rcactionary movement before noon.
 American Can, Baldwin and Strde-
 baker extended their initial losses to
 point or more. Selling pressure was
 most effective against the oils. motors,
 coppers, feathers, equipments and in-
 dependent steels Losses of l to ?
 points were registered by more than

Losses Of 1 to points were distributed throughout the list with the oils, cop | pers and chemicals bearing the brunt | of the selling. Sales approximated i 700, 1000 shares.

DANIELS GETS INTO
 TEAPOT FIGHT NOW
Replies to Statement Issued by
 National (. O.P. Bureau

Philadelphia, Feb. 25.-"What the
 republican national committee should be doing is to secure recipe to re- move the stain of oil from a second- hand cabinet" said former Secretary of the Navy Daniels here today, in stead of trying to draw red herring across the track in the hope of divert ing condemnation for. Inc wanton waste of a billion dollars worth of oil set aside by Taft and Wilson for the exclusive use of the navy from the men who leased it to Doheny and Sinclair"
 The former secretary. replying to the statement issued last night by the republican national committee news bureau that he wrote the section of the act under which Secretary of the Navy Denby signed the oil leases said There is no democratic responsibility for that crime against naval prepared ne ss for an emergency"
 Mir. Daniels statement further said:
 If the republican committee has any information that I leased or rec commended leasing single foot of naval reserve oil when the oil could be retained in the ground, that infor- nation is manufactured.
 From March, 1918, to March, 1891, in the courts and in the con- sress l fought every proposition to permit the oil in the naval reserves 10 be taken out by anybody. The word 'eNchange' gave no authority except to exchange crude oil for oil suitable for navy uses, or exchange land 10 conserve naval oil in the ground.
 "The word lease could have no as the letter and context show, except to lease flowing wells or portions of land where the oil was In danger of being drained by owners of adjacent lands. By the terms of the amendment recom- not to exceed s600,00o' from oil taken out could be used for any purpose by the secretary of the navy. Under the terms of the illegal lease signed by Fall and Denby. has been obligated for tanks and dredging.
 ."T sec that Sinclair has just re- turned from Europe where he is re- ported to have arranged to furnish Stinnes oil. Ii looks liko II was con to sell navy oil set aside Tor the exclusive use of the navy o Germany. Conservation and Amer eanlsm must cry out against such l possibility.i
