CHIEF EVENTS
OF THE WEEK
BRIEFLY TOLD
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

The original oil indictments against
ex-Secretary of the Interior Albert B.
Fall, Harry F. Sinclair, E. l.. Doheny
and the latter's son, returned in
Washington and later dismissed on a
technicality, charged conspiracy to
defraud the government and bribery.
On reindictment Fall, Sinclair and
the elder Doheny are accused only of
conspiracy.
The defense says the bribery
charge was dropped because Gun
supported by evidence and wholly un-
tenable."
The prosecution says it's because it
had been outlawed under the statute
Of limitations, which runs out in three
years on bribery, while conspiracy
takes six.
E. L. Doheny Jr. is left out this
time and the defense makes much of
the fact.
Elk Hills
Besides the elder Doheny's' re-
indictment, the Doheny oil interests
received another jolt in Federal Judge
McCormick's order in Los Angeles
that they surrender for cancellation
their Elk Hills (Calif.) oil land leases.
granted by Fall when secretary of the
interior, and their Hawaiian oil stor-
age contracts.
This is on the ground that there
was fraud in the so-called loan of
100000 by Doheny to Fall about the
time the leases and contracts were
executed, and that the late President
Harding exceeded his powers in
transferring the oil lands from the
navy to the interior department.
which made the arrangements Judge
Mccormick now sets aside.
Doheny is required also to account
for all Elk Hills oil he has taken out.
Of course the case has been appealed.
Evolution
Unlike the defense in most GRIMM
al cases, John Thomas Scopes law
yers hope their client will be con-
victed of teaching the theory of evo-
luton in the Dayton (Tenn.) public
schools, because they want to test the
Tennessee anti-evolution laws consti-
tutionality.
Scopes witnesses will include
many Of Americas greatest scien-
fists and theologians. His legal ad-
visers are among the country's fore
most.

Of the Sheyenne river near what lat

who since that time has built up a
prosperous farm in the fertile valley

of about two acres along the river
bank as another of the states his

Before the coming Of the whites
this was a recognized home spot,
because of its pure springs. sheltered
groves and other out door home facil-
tiles. And the remains of the previ-
Gus habitations are now found along
the river. Mounds, and stone circles,
ridges and graves, heaps Of refuse
and old trails show where the Indians
and even the later men who treked
the country unconsciously left rec

The tract donated to the state,
therefore is in the midst Of one of
the states most important historic
sections. 1t is covered with good
growth Of young timbec, wild flow

enne forms the eastern border of the
tract and the visitors to the new state
park may fish, swim or go boating in
the quiet river. A foot bridge con-
meets the park with the state high
way just east of the river. Across
the river also is district school, and
the children are. expected to enjoy
the park.
The state historical society will
have general responsibility for the
place and local board will be ap-
pointed to care for and improve the

Church Around the Corner" Here
the Episcopalian clergyman had
united many film pairs in matri-
mony, later to read of his handiwork
wrecked upon the altar Of popular

"In many instances the movie
stars, innocent Of any actual wrong
doing, are still responsible for their
prcdicaments because Of their press
agents. They instruct their publici-

The movie chaplain believes that
the world is passing through one of
age"
The period which has Hollywood
in its throes is comparable to few
ages in our history" he said.
"1n Hollywood it is especially true
that men and women are not accom-
plishing things They dream them
selves what they want to be and
their press agents inform the world
they have actually achieved these
Utopian goals"
and what is the answer to the
riddle?" Rev. Dodd was asked.
He smiled.
THE cure for this selfish age can
only come by curing people of their
giant egotism; curing motion picture
stars of the habit of thinking of
themselves first and not the public

STRAIN WAS
TOO GREAT
FOR MARSHALL
Vice Presidency, Like White
House Post, Is Wearing
Job to Handle
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Seryice Writer

Washington, June 1.-THE presi-
Dental job often is referred to as
mankiller. The vice presidency gen.
orally is considered something of q
sinecure.
It seems to have occurred to no
body that, with Thomas r. Marshalrs
death, the country has as many living
ex-presidents left as ex-vice presi-
dents-that is to say. one of each. re-
spectively Chief Justice Taft and
Pres ident Coolidge.
This gives rise to the guess, either
that the vice presidency must be
more wearing than was popularity
supposed, or that some deadly quail
ty other than the work involved turks
in both the chief magistracy and its
understudy's post.
The fact is, though we have had
what we called young presidents and
vice presidents, they were young only
for the high offices they held. After
a term or two, most of them were
pretty we'll on in this life and not
far from the getting off place into
the next.
Ex-vice President Marshall was one
Of the most popular statesman Wash
ington ever has known. He never
took himself too seriously. Affable
and easy of approach. his circle of
friends was enormous
His humor-antiseptic but healing
was delightful. His oft-quoted re-
mark during the postwar RECONSTRUCT
tion period, with everybody telling
what the country needed, 1T needs a
good scent cigar" was typical of
him.
Frivolous, as it fell on the ear, it
was packed with meaning on analy-
sis. a meaning the man in the street
could understand.
Marshall wasn't the type Of poll.

Nor would theyt Japan forced
some small transa rtions on a few
communities, but they amounted to
nothing. Her trade. fallen fat, Japan
had to make terms.
Chinese resentment at foreign
domination in the treaty ports"
like Shanghai, is natural. On Chinese
soil the Foreigners have their own
cities, under their ,ywn governments;
their own courts and their own laws,
under which Chinese are punished
often unjustly, they consider.
In their own country the Chinese
are treated-or ILL., treated-as an in
ferior people. Resisting inhuman
commercial exploita tion, as in this
most recent instance, they are shot
down in their own streets by foreign
policemen.
"Bolsheviki!" cries the Shanghai
foreign press. No wonder the Chi
nese don't like it.
