Gers" We're factors in the navy's oil
leasing policies.s
During a penetrating cross exam
ination Roberts broke through
Doheny's direct testimony at only
one point, He put into the record the
oil manufacturers statement that
stock certificates given him by Fall
in 1925 and the 1921 loan of $780,
900 were valued at $4,000 instead OF
100000. Doheny testified yesterday
the 16 shares he held represented
approximately 52200,000 in value.
The witness admitted frankly that
he had refreshed his memory as to
details since his testimony before the
Senate oil committee three year. ago.
He denied ever having had any mis-
givings about the propriety of his
loaning Fall 100000 and recalling
that the Senate learned of the tran
saction only through his o n volun-
tary testimony. In that connection,
he added that he was paying all the
defense expenses of the present trial.
He was motfSated in his bid for the
Pearl Harbor oil storage project,
against the advice Ct his associates,
by the menace of Japan" in the Pa
cific.

Secretary Wilbur, called for ques-
tioning as to strategic considerations
which impelled the war plans divi-
sion to decide. upon the $100,000,0 00
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, naval base
more than five years ago, refused to
bring to court official communfca-
lions from Rear Admiral Albert
Gleaves, commandant TO the Pacific
Squadron in, 1921 and 1922. Other
records which he brought were re-
jected by the defense attorneys and
they let the war scare evidence rest
with Secretary Wilbur's testimony
that disclosure of the contents of
GleaveS' reports would be prejudi-
cial to public interest.
The defense summons called spe-
officially for As kilograms and 81 let
tiers from Gleaves between Septem-
Der, 1920, and March, 1921, but Sec
rotary Wilbur said he brought none
of thea to court.
The prosecution tonight considered
the advisa bility of calling former
Secretary of State Hughes as a re-
buttal witness for examination as to
the diplomatic situation in the Paci-
fic at the time of the Gleaves reports,
which terminated two months before
President Harding issued his invita-
lions to the Washington arms con-
ference Of 1921.
If he is called he will be confront

statement submitted from his in the

terror, then testified he knew Falls

to be good. He was excused without
cross examination. The Fail attor-
ney's plan to complete their case at
tomorrow's half day Saturday session
probably without calling the former
cabinet member to the stand in his
own defense.
Dohenys cross examination re-
vealed financial transactions be-
tween himself and Fall since the
latter left the cabinet in 1923, but
only $4,000 loan just before the
trial began was admitted to the
record. Special Prosecutor Owen ].
Roberts also drew from Doheny the
statement that Fall had acted for
him, without remuneration. in con-
nection with $10,000,000 loan to the
Obregon government in Mexico three
years ago, when the De La Huerta
revolutionary forces menaced the
Obregon regime. The loan, inNathe
form of advance payments on tax
assessments against Doheny prop
critics, has been repaid.
Previous to today's testimony
there had been no recital of money
transactions between Doheny and
Fall since the 100000 cash loan to
