revealing answers differing in I'm
portant details from those given in
his direct examination today.
( lie explained he had been offered
no opportunity to review official
records before his senate testimony
In October, 1923, but had refreshed
his memory on many points since
that time.
Mr.. DENLY said he personally sug-
gested to President Harding. early
In 1921, that the naval reserves he
transferred to the jurisdiction of the
interior department Of which Fall
tnen was secretary.
He said the leasing policy had
been determined upon by himself
after he had been convinced nv
subordinates that drainage of the
public domain through nearby prI-
Vate wells made such action urgent
ana that this suggestion had come
TO MIN from naval officers rather
IMAM from the interior department
or Oil company officials.
Denoy told the jury he had never
seen Edward L. Doheny until the Eli
nus tease was signed December ~
1917, and that he could not recall no
hehys name having been mentioned
IN departmental conferences until he
was called upon to apnrove ~

at was never my understanding
that the interior department control
led the naval oil reserves" he told
the jury at another point. s"That de-
partment acted as trustee for the
navy"
The defense has centered it's case
on the contention that the navy's in
terest in the reserves initiated
against possibility OF conspiracy be-
tween Fall and Doheny.
Asked If he knew Of Doheny's per-
sonal loan of 100000 to Fall in
November, 1921, DENLY said he never
had any knowledge of Falls private
affairs.
He could recall no discussion of the
oil policy in the cabinet.
Denby's two and one half hour eX-
animation was the highlight in the
heaviest and most dramatic day the
trial has produced since it began
nearly three weeks ago. Heavy siege
verbal bombardments between Rob-
erts and DENLY dWarfed the fire of q
dozen other defense witnesses called
during the day.
Among eight Los Angeles residents
who testified to Doheny'S general
good reputation for honesty, Integrity
and patriotism were a clergyman,
three lawyers, two assistant district
attorneys, a former federal judge and
seventy year old partner in gold
prospector's venture in New Mexico
almost half century ago.
Doheny, back in court after a "A

lowed Denbys testimohy with unuS-
nal intentness, despite evidence OF
fatigue earlier in the day. His ply
sicians reported tonight he was i'm
proving rapidly and doubted that the
infected arm would again interrupt
the trial.
Indications that Doheny would
take the stand in his own defense
were seen today in the info nal pre-
paration of government counsel for
his cross examination. The defense
attorneys have made no statement as
to their plans in this respect.

A THREE DAYS.
COUGH IS YOUR
DANGER SIGNAL

Persistent coughs and colds lead to seri-
Gus trouble. You can stop them now with
Creomulsion, an emulsifed creosote that
is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is new
medical discovery with two-fold action; it
soothes and heals the inhamed membranes
and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creoscte is recog-
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele-
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and
inflammation, while the creosote goes on
to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood,
attacks the seat of the trouble and checks
the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfactory
in the treatment of persistent coughs and
colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and
other forms of respiratory diseases, and is
excellent for building up the system after
colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough
or cold is not relieved after taking accord
ing to directions. Ask your druggist. (adv.)

MEXICO TO CHANGE
RULING AGAINST
FOREIGN CURRENCY

MEXICO CITY, Nov % Especial to
the patch)-Permission for traveI-
ers to purchase bank notes of foreign
issue in banks here has been as
sured by the department of finance,
the Bank of Mexico and the nationai
banking commission. The measure
was taken up by the national bank
ing commission in view of the large
number of requests which have been
received from tourists and from the
local banks.
In this regard, it was considered
that this modification offers greater
facility than making the exchanges
at the frontier points or undergoing
delay. The national banking commits
sion has pointed out that this will
remove from the Mexican markets
the large amount of foreign currency
now accumulated there. Action on
the matter is expected very soon.
