FALLS SON-IN-LAW
BALKS IN TESTIMONY
TEAPOT DOME SUIT

Cheyenne, Wyo., Mar. 16 (By A.
PD--Jumping speedily from one
critical point to another. the Teapot
Dome lease annulment suit came to
a head late today in legal haze ov-
err the question Of whether M. T.
Everhart, Pueblo. Colo, banker and
rancher, would be sustained in his
refusal to testify regarding a depos-
it of Liberty bonds he handled for
Albert b. Fall, former secretary Of
the interior. on the ground that he
was within his constitutional rights.
Everhardt, a SON. in-law of the
former secretary Of the interior. re-
fused to answer questions put by
Owen J. Roberts Of government
counsel regarding whether or not he
took 100000 In Liberty bonds to the
First National Bank of Pueblo. Of
which he is director. and deposited
them there with instructions that
they belonged to Fall. He declined
to answer on the ground that to do
might tend to incriminate him.
When counsel on both sides took
opposite views as to whether a wit
ness in such a position was the sole
judge of whether or not his answers
might incriminate him. a long ar
gument followed, after which federal
Judge T. Blake Kennedy took the
question under advisement.
Questioned as TO what would be
done If Everhardt were sustained by
Judge Kennedy in his refusal, Mr..
Roberts said:
IF Everhardt is not compelled to
testify further. don't think we will
take the trouble to call Mr.. Fall to
the stand"
Fail is here under subpoena but
doubt had been expressed as to
whether he would testify.
Beginning with the Continental
Trading Company of Toronto, now
defunct, which had at it's head H. S.
Osler, Toronto barrister, and which is
alleged to have been an intermediary
between Sinclair and Fall, govern
ment counsel today traced by testi-
mony of New York bank officials and
employees, four groups Of Liberty
bonds totalling 100000. which ac-
cording to plaintiff counsel. can be
followed eventually to Fall by their
numbers through the Pueblo bank,
the First National Bank of FL Paso,
Tex, and the Federal Reserve branch
bank at Denver.
When the testimony Of l.. r. Rule,
cashier of the Pueblo bank, was bar
red by Judge Kennedy on the OBJ
lection of defense counsel that no.
thing had been given thus far in the
evidence to connect Fall and Sinclair,
Mr.. Roberts called Mr.. Everhart to
the stand with the statement that by
so doing he expected to prove that
100000 Of bonds bought by the Con-
tinental Trading Company bore the
same numbers as the coupons cashed
by Fall. Both Mr.. Roberts and Atlee
Pomerene, also of government coun-
sci, made no secret OF the fact that
the decision of Judge Kennedy to-
morrow on the Everhart testimony,
would be OF the utmost Importance
to the governments case
Mr.. Fall is scheduled to be called
to the stand tomorrow. In the face
of Mr.. Roberts announcement that
he might not be called If Judge Ken
nedy rules that Everhart is within
his rights in refusing to testify, it is
possible the government will make
short work of its case thereafter. In
the event Everhart is required to an
swer questions Mr.. Fall will be called,
MIR. Roberts said.

HANOVER, Germany. May 1.-THE
president-elect, Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg. expects to arrive in Berlin on
May II. remaining at the chancellor S
palace until after his Inauguration on
the following day. He will be accom-.
panied by Lieut.. Col. Won Feldman. his
political adviser, and his son, Maj.
Oscar Won Hindenburg, who has been
granted leave from the Hanover Cav
airy School to serve as personal adju-
tant to the President
Hanover's citizens are planning a
torchlight parade in honor of the pres.
ident-elect Thursday.
In response to a letter of congratu.
lation from DIR. Wilhelm Marx, the un-
successful candidate of the republic
bloc, the field marshal sent reply, in
which, after thanking DR.. Marx for his
fluctuations, he said:
i am happy to note that you take
the same standpoint which I would
have held in the event Of your vic
tory at the polls. Your wishes for our
with mine. May they be fulfilled
through the unself1sh and unifying
work of all to who mGermany is dear
er than political party"
Won Hindenburg has accepted an in.
vitation to attend the Hanover horse
races on May "a, the chief event at
which has been named THE linden
burg Race" He will hand the prizes
to the winners.
The delicate problem as to whether
he should wear a frock coat or a
military uniform at his inauguration
is said to have been solved by Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg. According
to the present plans he will wear a
Prince Albert, but with it a number
of war medals.

ATLANTIC SWEPT
BY STORM; 5 DEAD
Lost When Schooner Sinks.
Two Steamers Also Are
Wrecked.
BY the Associated Press.


HALIFAX. n. S., May The
North Atlantic, heavily mantled with
fog and dashed by driving easterly
wind and rain, has taken toll of five
lives, two steamers and one three
masted schooner, since Thursday
afternoon. The crew of one of the
steamers was Just rescued this
morning after hours in peril.
The Nova Scotia schooner Cape
Dor went down Thursday night,
three minutes after being rammed by
the steamer Clackamas. off Sambro
Lightship. Mrs. Margaret Leone
Wilkie, wife of the captain, and four
of the crew, including the captain S
brother, were drowned. Capt, Wilkie
and two other men were rescued.
Two steamers, the Azov, ashore on
the Southern Cape Breton coast, and
the Moldegaard, a Norwegian boat,
ashore off Pennant Point, were ex-
pected to be total losses, reports
telling of both being pounded to
pieces by the high seas. The % men
aboard the Azov managed to reach
shore in their boats, but the crew of
the Moldegaard was unable to do this,
and the Dominion government
steamer Stanley, standing by through
the night, effected the rescue today.
Three men stayed with the ship.
Capt. Ralph Mckenzie of the fishing
schooner Archie F. Mckenzie report
ed last night that about eight miles
southeast of the Liverpool automatic
buoy he had sighted what he believed
to be a schooner of about 800 tons,
bottom up, and drifting shoreward.
This, however. is believed to be the
wreckage of the Cape Dor, as no
other vessels have been reported in
distress.
