TEAPOT DOME
INDICTMENTS
ARE QUASHED
DOheny, Sinclair and
Fall Get Away

WASHINGTON, D. c., April g.
Criminal indictments against the
three biggest figures In the great oil
"scandaI"-ex-Secretary of the Inter-
ior Albert D. Fall, Harry F. Sinclair,
and Edward L. Doheny-were quash-
ed In the supreme court of the Dis
trict Of Columbia today by Chief JUS
tice Walter |. Mccoy.
Without expressing any opinion on
the guilt or innocence of the accused
men, Justice Mccoy dismissed the in
dictments on technical grounds-the
principal one being that the presence
of a government attorney: Oliver Pa
gan, in the grand jury room during
the taking of testimony, vitiated the
instruments.
Criminal Conspiracy.
The indictments had charged the
trio with criminal conspiracy in the
leasing of Teapot Dome oil field to
Sinclair and the leasing of Elk Hills
reserve, in California, to Doheny.
Justice Mccoy decided that when
congress authorized the, employment
of special counsel to prosecute the oil
case, Atlee Pomerene and Owen ].
Roberts, it thereby took the case out
of the hands of the ordinary legal
department of the government Con-
sequently, the court decided, when
Pagan, who is the indictment expert
of the department of justice, remain
ed in the jury room during the TAX
ing of testimony ii made the whole
proceedings unlawful and vitiated
the indictments.
Two Courses Open.
In the absence of Pomerene and
Roberts, the special oil counsel, other
government attorneys would make no
statement as to the governments
future course. 1t was said, however,
that two courses. are open-the. gov

Los ANGELES, Cal, April b.
Raphael AbramovIch, counter-revoIu
tionary emissary of the mensheviE
Second international, held, or tried tc
hold, a meeting at the Labor Temple
here.
The hall and It's approaches were
packed with police and detectives
resembling fortified position. Over
one hundred workers trying to gair
admission were not permitted to en-
ter.
Many Workers Protest.
Nevertheless, in the small audience
many workers who protested verbally
when Abramovich began to repeat his
discredited lies against Soviet Russia
and the brutal violence used upon
them for so doing, kept the meeting
in continual turmoil, and the result
was fiat failure so far as Abzramo
vich raising any sentiment against
Soviet Russia was concerned.
Eight workers whose vocal protests
disturbed the Infamous professor OF
prevarication, were arrested, badly
beaten up and held for trial under
bail Of 500 each.
Raise $1,000 Ball Money.
Demonstration of the excluded
workers took place before the hall
where $1,000 bail money advanced by
sympathizers was collected from the
crowds.
The capitalist press, running along
side the yellow socialist gangsters and
the capitalist police summoned by the
petty bourgeois socialists, publish
hair-raising exposures" Of "a plot tc
kill Abramovich." The Los Angeles
workers, however, have given their
greeting in their own way to the Shiny
agent of counter-revolution against
the workers and peasants republic

LENINGRAD, U. S. S. r., April g.
All information reaching here indicates
that a new terror wave is sweeping
over white guard Poland.
The day following the brutal murder
on March 29, Of the two exchange
prisoners, Baginski and WierezorkIe-
wIcz, the Polish courts, thru Judge
Krakoff, condemned to death the Com
munist soldiers, sesaI and Diffetski
charging that they had issued revo.
Iutionary proclamations.
This development indicates that
there is to be no let up in the many
killings Of the murder regime thru
which the Grabski government main
tains itself in power
Only today are all the facts being
learned concerning the carefully pre-
mediated murder of the two prisoners
destined for return to Soviet Russia.
According to a signed agreement
between Soviet Russia and Poland,
the two Polish revolutionary army of
ticers, Baginski and Wierczorkiewicz
were to be exchanged for catholic
priest, Ussak, a member of the Polish
government mission, here arrested
by the Soviet power for a capital
crime-sexual sadism.
Baginski and Wierczorkiewicz, in
Poland, were condemned to death for
revolutionary activity on behalf of
the starving and oppressed masses of
Poland, and the indemnity of their in
terests with the workers and peas
ants government of Soviet Russia.
Victims Of Frame-up.
They were later committed to life
imprisonment and then to IL years Of
prison because they were plainly vic.
Tins of the frame-up so far as formal
charges of crime against them were
concerned
At the border station where these
two prisoners of the Polish white
guard regime were held, and only one.
half an hour before the time fixed for
delivering them to the Soviet autho-
rities at the boundary line, Baginski
and Wierczorkiewicz were cruelty tor
tured and then killed by Polish police
officers inside the railway car as it
stood at the border.
The day after, Segal and Diffetski
were condemned.
This is the regime of the Polish
capitalists and landlords, the pets of
both French and American imperial
ism. This is the democracy" and
civilization" of capitalism.
Russian Masses Protest
Turnout Russia the masses OF work
ers and peasants are holding gigantic
protest meetings before the Polish
consulates. From all over the world
the cables and wireless dispatches tell
of the anger of the working classes
of the world at the awful barbarism OF
white guard capitalist Poland.
From all countries come news OF
great mass protest meetings and de-
monstrations of hatred for the white
terror ferocities of capitalist Poland

AS WE SEE IT
BY T. ). o'FLAHERTY

THE United States government has
4 not yet apologized to Messrs. Fall,
Doheny and Sinclair and their aids
and abettors for relieving the navy
department of its oil supply, illegally
and with profit as forethought. No
doubt the apology will come in due
time. For the present the gentlemen,
above mentioned must rest content
with having the indictments charging
them with conspiracy to defraud the
government, quashed, by liberty

is reaction in the senate. But the
senate has adjourned and will not

Coolidge out of the White House for
four years. Many thousands of work
ers still are of the opinion that all
are equal under the law in the United
States. Once in while, the capital
lists courts render a decision which
seems to hit the big fellow, but there
is usually a way out-for the fellow.
Nobody could have any doubt that ex-
secretary of the interior, Fall, turned
over valuable oil properties to Do
heny and Sinclair for valuable con-
siderations, something like $4,000 or
about as much as Ramsay Macdonald
received for securing a title for Sir
Alexander Grant.
THE democrats came near getting

very likely would, but for the religious

consideration, as candidates for the
presidency. Calvin Coolidge hid like
snail in his shell until the storm
abated- He dropped DENLY and Daugh-

goats. 1t must be admitted in fair
ness to the gentlemen who stood at
the receiving end of the oil scandal
that there was more envy than jeal-

Americans over the whole business.

would gladly see Fall hanged, not be-

because he was a successful CRATER.
