TEAPOT DOME
STEAL LEGAL.
JUDGE RULES
Sinclair, Fall and Co.
Stainless

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 1e-The
government today lost lts suit to de-
clare invalid the Teapot Dome naval
oil reserve lease granted to Harry ?.
Sinclair by former Secretary Of the
Interior A. D. Fall.
This means a victory for the Cool
idge administration and a defeat for
the progressives who were responsible
for instituting the famous Teapot
Dome investigation which shook the
republican machine to its base.
Judge Kennedy gave Fall and SIN
clair a clean bill Of health. II Is hlg-
nificant that Rear Admiral Robinson
the naval officer who transferred the
oil reserves from the navy department
to the interior was only a few days
ago elevated to the position Of high
commanding officer of the United
State feet. This would indicate that
Secretary OF the Navy Wilbur had
knowledge that the decision OF Judge
Kennedy would be favorable to Sim
clair.
Discussing the passage OF $3.50, 900
in liberty bonds from Sinclair to Fall
thru the Continental Trading company
OF Canada, the court said no connec.
tion between Sinclair and Fall had
been established in this regard.

THE COMMUNISTS
To Be Punished for
Defending Workers

PARIS, France, June 1o.-Pren1Ier
Painleve has held a conference with
NJ. chiapp, director of the French
secret service, and ordered him to use
the entire governmental spy system
agalnet the Communists. The order
came directly after Painleve had told
the cabinet that "the Communists are
lending moral aid to Abd-el-Krin,
leader Of the Riffians", and secured
the cabinets approval Of the drive
against the Communists.
The Communist deputies in parlia-
ment vigorously denounced their ex-
clusion from the joint meetings of the
military, naval, foreign affairs, and
financial committees of the chamber.
at which Painleve gave details of his
Moroccan trip.
The Communists had refused to
keep secret the truth of the situation
in Morocco. and Painleve, fearing the
effect on the French workers IL the
truth we're known, had the Commun-
lists forcibly excluded from the COM
mittee
The Communists declare that
French workers are being sent off to
be slaughtered in foreign land, in an
invasion of the Rifiians native soil.
They demand that the extent OF the
heavy casualties and the severe
French defeat be made public, that the
invasion cease, and that the Moroc-
cans be left in peace TO rule their own
country. The Communists charge that
the Maroccan invasion is an attempt
Of the French imperialists to exploit
the natural resources and the labor
power OF the Moroccans. and to build
up reservoir of colonial troopb TO
fight in the French army.
The Franco-Spanish negotiAtions

Negro Votes Thrown Out.
The present case arises out of the
denial to DR.. L. A. Nixon, qualified

the primary election at Ell Paso. The
act of May, 1928, passed by the Texas
legislature states that Gin no event
shall Negro be eligible to partici
pate in any democratic primary cleo
ton held in the state of Texas and
should Negro vote in a democratic
primary election, such ballot shall be
void and election officials are herein

The Negroes contend that under
the system of one-party dominanc,
in southern states. where candidate,
