OIL TRIAL H|NG|NG
ON FALL FINANCES
Court to Decide on Admission
of Bank Accounts Data
in Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 1.-THE
Teapot Dome trial came to the close
of its first week yesterday with it's
followers anxiously awaiting the
ruling of Federal Judge T. Blake
Kennedy on the question of admit
ting the secrets of Albert B. Falls
bank accounts into the records of the
case, which will have an important
bearing on the Governments chain
of evidence.
If Judge Kennedy sustains the OBJ
jections of defense counsel, that the
records are incompetent because they
prove no financial connection between
Fall and Harry F. Sinclair, whose
Mammoth Oil Company was granted
the Teapot Dome lease, the Govern
ment will be practically without a
means of proving that Liberty bonds,
once belonging to Sinclair, eventually
found their way into Falls hands.
VIII Nullify Fight.
If Judge Kennedy rules that the
records are relevant because as owen
j. Roberts, Government counsel, con-
tends, they will establish a basis upon
which the plaintiff expects later to
base evidence of conspiracy, much of
the stiff fight which has been put up

week saw the taking of testimony Of
several witnesses and the reading of
depositions. These included the ex-
animation of Theodore Roosevelt, jr.,
former Assistant Seer tary of the
Navy, and John g. Shafroth, former
lieutenant commander of the Navy,
who were opposed to the policy of
the former Secretary of the Interior
in his opening of Teapot Dome to
private interests; Kenneth c. Heald,
geologist, who was examined as to
the location of the saddle" between
Teapot Dome and the Salt Creek field.
and others regarding events in Wash

of the lease April Z, 1922
An attempt was made yesterday by
the Government to connect Sinclair
with the defunct Continental Trading
Co of Toronto, which is alleged to
have been formed by H. NJ. Blackmer
and James E. O'Neil, American oil
men, with H. S. Osler of Toronto and
Sinclair, to purchase oil for the Sin

.L|GHT[ESS TRUCK
BETRAYS DRIVER
Negro Held on Charge of
Stealing ST, ZOO in Clothing
When Police Stop Him.

Failure of Joseph Allen, colored,
p years old, to have lights on a
motor truck he was driving near
Thirteenth and E streets about 3
o'clock this morning was a means
of his capture on charges of alleged
burglary and joyriding. Nearly $1,000
worth of mems wearing apparel found
in his truck had been stolen from
the store of Hoover Zook, 1912 G.
street.
Policemen NJ. B. Payne and E. W.
Gore of the first precinct sighted the
lightless truck moving south on Thir-
teenth street and thought they would
teach the driver a lesson by arrest
ing him and requiring him to answer
In Traffic.
Before they had time to question
him about his failure to have the
truck lighted, however, they noticed
the truck contained an assortment
of overcoats, hats and numerous
other varieties of mems wear.
Where did you get all this stuff?"
one of the policemen asked Allen.
Bought it," was the latter's re-
sponse.
Confession Is Reported.
When asked where he had made the
purchase, however, he hesitated TO re-

perpetrated the robbery.
Allen, residing at GIG Third street

ken, decorator, 1852 Georgia avenue,
and some time ago, while at the Zook
establishment, he stated, he noticed
how easy 1t would be TO effect an en-
trance through a rear door, and this
morning he went there in his en-
ployers truck, taking the vehicle
without permission.
None of the numerous keys found
in his possession fitted the lock, and
so he broke a glass panel, reached
through the opening and unfastened

Allen started to drive home, but was
prevented from reaching there be-
cause of his arrest for failure to have
the truck lighted. Zook. summoned
to examine the loot, told the police of
its value, and Aliens employer said
the truck had been taken without his
permission. The prisoner will be ar

URGED To STRIKE
Bishop Calls on Pupils to
Stay From Schools in Pro-
test Against Herriot Edict.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STRASBOURG, France, March IA
Bishop Ruch of Strasbourg, has called
a school strike throughout Alsace.
effective Monday, as a protest against
the institution by the French govern
ment of interconfessional or religi-
ously neutral schools.
The strike will continue three days
in Colmar and one day in all the
other communities of the two depart
ments of Lower and Upper Rhine
comprising Alsace, the announcement
says. "and IL required 1t will be re-
newed to last as long as necessary"
The bishop, in a proclamation ad-
dressed to the Catholic fathers and
mothers. says the Committee of ac-
tion for religious defense" decided
upon the strike. After giving the in
structions regarding it, he adds:
Your bishop fully approved this
determination. He makes it his own
and asks you. dear parents, to execute
1t en- masse without hesitation"
Calls Strike as Warming.

by order of NJ. Herriot." This form
of school, in which Catholic control
is abolished, would separate all the
faiths for religious instruction. The
schools were authorized by the pre-
mier under local laws" the refer
ence being to an old statute. but the
bishop says that the conditions un-
der which such schools might legally
be established have not been fulfilled
and he declares that "the introduc-
ton of the interconfessional school is
an attack on Catholic conscience"
Gives His Blessing.
The proclamation refers to the re-
cent action OF the French bishop in
declaring the new institution to be
peril to the faith and morality and
declares that unless the Catholics
react now the Catholic school will
disappear from Alsace"
Since petitions and protests have
been unavailing, the proclamation
continues. the Catholics must resort
to a strike ito obtain fulfllment of
the promise OF Joffre and Polncare,
Clemenceau and Millerand, so that
Germany close by shall not be wit
ness to France perjuring herself"
The bishop concludes:
Your action will signify that II
the liberty of conscience and reIig-
ious rights of a single Alsatian are
touched all his brothers will be with
him to compel the prosecutor to draw
back. That is why this action is re-
quired. 1t is legitimate, and your
bishop blesses it."

Boy Arrested in Hold-Up Case.

Otto Wilkinson Utley, II years old,
11S South Belmont avenue, Richmond,
Va, was arrested this morning by
Detectives Springmann and Darnall
for the Richmond authorities. He is
wanted in Richmond in connection
with the investigation of a hold-up
of a. storekeeper. according to the
Richmond authorities. He denies
knowing anything of the affair. A
revolver was found in his suit case
of the situation on the basis of more
authentic advices to be received through
official channels.
AS yet, there has been no actual
approach to any of the powers on
the subject, and the conferences plan
ned by the President with his Secre-
tary of State will, in fact, be the initial
move in getting the many preliminaries
attending the project under way.
VIII Push PInn.
While 1t will be for these discus
sions to determine the plan of pro-
cedure, Mr.. Coolidge at this time IA
vors simultaneous approach to the
various powers Under such a plan
it would then remain for Secretary
Kellogg to lay the project before the
governments at London, Paris, Rome
and Toxic through the American Am
bassadors there, with the reaction of
each to be reported to Washington.
While hopeful that it would be fa-
vorably received by each of the gov
ernments, it is the present intention
of President Coolidge that. in the
event of a contrary development, the
Washington Government shall go
forward with the project with such
governments as are agreeable.
The President would like to see
both land and naval armaments
brought within the scope of the con-
ference, but as to neither phase will
the American policy be other than one
of moral appeal, in no way marked
by coercion.
