Sinclair, Fall, Doheny Hit
AnerD in Oil Indictments

Washington.-New indictments In
the oil-lease scandals were reported by
the grand jury Of the District of CO.
lumbia. Two indictments alleging con-
spiracy to defraud the United States
In connection with the leasing Of the
Teapot Dome and Elk Hills naval oil
reserves were returned.
The indictments are substitutes for
those quashed recently on technical
grounds. Instead of dealing both with
conspiracy and bribery. however. as
did the others, the new indictments
are confined to conspiracy, the statute
of limitations having run against the
bribery charge.
One indictment charges a conspiracy
between Albert B. Fall Of New Mex
leo, former secretary Of the interior.
and Harry F. Sinclair, oil magnate OF
New York, to assign lease to Teapot
Dome, without competitive bidding.
The other charges similar conspiracy
In relation to the Elk Hills reserve be-
tween former Secretary Fall and Ed
ward L. Doheny.
The grand jurors exonerated Ed
ward l.. Doheny, Jr., Of any connec-
ton with the alleged conspiracy.

of the ship sales committee of the
shipping board, T. v. O'Connor, chair
man of the board, put through his pro-
gram for immediate scrapping Of 200
shipping board vessels. Shortly after

gram, the chairman was on his way
to Detroit to confer further with
Henry Ford as a potential buyer of
the entire block of vessels.
Commissioner Lissner explained that
he was not opposed to offering ships
for sale for scrapping, but that at this
time he believed It would have been
wiser If so or 100 vessels, instead Of
200, had been offered for sale.

Only Six Bodies Recovered
From Shaft Near Coal
Glen, N. c.

Coal Glen, N. C.--Hope that any OF
the three score or more miners en-
tombed in the Carolina Coal company
mine near here would be found alive
was abandoned by rescuers.
Members of the rescue crews, who
had recovered six bodies from the
mine, expressed the belief that If the
miners escaped the three explosions
which wrecked the shaft, they must
have suceumbed to the afterdamp.
Searchers, with the hope that the
miners might have escaped suffocation
after the blasts, penetrated to the
1,8OO-foot level of the shaft without
nnding more bodies.
Five of the six bodies brought out
OF the mine were identified as A. l..
Holland, w. e. Byerly, Hollis Rich
ardson and Zeff Rimer, white. and Will
Trick, negro.
The mine has only three openings
an air shaft, the main shaft and an
old abandoned shaft. 1t is possible
only for rescuers to work down the
main shaft. and this Is reported filed
with fallen timbers and other debris.
The second right lateral, where the
first explosion is believed to have oc-
Cured, is about 1000 feet from the
mouth of the shaft and about 300 feet
underground 1t was from the mouth
of this shaft that the six bodies were
brought.
Records showed that SO men. 81
white and 20 negroes, had comprised
the mine crew, but mine officials re-
ported that II miners lamps were
missing, and 1t was believed that figure
might represent the number entombed
on q final check.
The wives, mothers and children OF
the trapped miners gathered as close
as possible to the mine awaiting word
of their loved ones.
The services of two lorry loads OF
troops from Fort Bragg, N. G.. were
declined by Adjutant General Nets.
General Nets took charge of the
situation on behalf of Governor Me-
Lean, with Frank Page. chairman OF
the state highway commission, who
brought corps of engineers at the
executives request to assist In the
rescue.

MUST GIVE UP
U. S. OIL LEASES 4
Federal Judge Rules Doheny
Interests Obtained Them
by Fraud.

Los Angeles, Cal.-The Doheny oil
interests, in decision given by Fed
eral Judge Paul j. Mccormick, were
ordered to give up for cancellation
their lease in naval oil reserve No. 1,
Elk Hills, CAL, and contracts for con-
struction of oil storage facilities at
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The decision, covering 90 points of
fact and IA conclusions of law, de-
clared the leases void for two rea-
sons. The first was declared to be
fraud upon the United States in
volved in e. L. Doheny's payment of
100000 to Albert B. Fall, then secre-
tary of the interior. The second rea-
son was because the late President
Harding's order transferring discre-
tiOnary authority in the matter of oil
leases from the Navy and Interior de-
partment was in excess of his power
as President.
Judge Mccormick ordered settle
ment for all oil taken by the Doheny
companies from Elk Hills and credit
/ them for storage facilities work
done in Hawaii, and empowered mas
ter in chancery, to be named later, to
effect these settlements.
Findings Of fact included one to the
effect that Fall did not make any
false representations of fact to Pres
fdent Harding for the purpose of In
ducing the making Of the executive
order of May 81, 1921"
Fall also is held responsible for the
conduct OF the oil lease and Hawaii
contract negotiations with the Doheny
interests, while former Secretary OF
the Navy Edwin DENLY was declared
to have been passive throughout all
the negotiations and signed the con-
tracts and leases under misapprehen-
sion and without full knowledge of the
contents of the documents"
1t Is held that the proposed contract
for the work in Hawaii was kept Sc
cret "in order that congress and the
public should not know what was be-
ing done, and not for military rea-
sons"
Judge Olin Wellborn, member OF
the Doheny legal staff, announced that
immediate steps would be taken on an
appeal to the United States Supreme
court
The trial of the suit In equity
against the Doheny oil interests opened
III Los Angeles on October "a last and
continued for several weeks.

The British Scientific society, after
long debate, has decided that the en-
enlargement Of bookishness and sed-
entary habits among boys is a vital
error. According to the majority or
the members parents make mistakes
in forcing their children in educational
affairs. 1t is also claimed that the
forcing does not educate because the
forced knowledge is quickly forgotten.
A moderate amount of study is advis-
able, but children SHOULD be taught
