for the convenience of the press by
George G. Hill.
Hill has been doing publicity work
for oil interests for some time.
Press Doubts
On the surface the pamphlet ap.
pears to contain much information
that would prove Of value to the va
rious correspondents covering the
trial. But discerning reporters
weren't long in ascertaining that
some Of the facts and figures" are
not so valuable as Mr.. Hill would
make believe.
Early in the pamphlet, Hill re-
fers to the now famous transaction
in which Edward L. Doheny claims
to have loaned former Secretary of
the Interior Albert B. Fall 100000
in 1891. The government claims
this money was paid to fall as a
bride to. obtain the Elk Hills naval
oil lease, but Doheny insists there
was no such connection and that he
gave Fall the money as a personal
loan.
Hill says that during the special
Senate investigation in January
February, 1924, question having
arisen as to where Fall procured the
100000 used to purchase a ranch
New Mexico that Doheny came
voluntarily before the public lands
committee and testified that he had
loaned that amount to Fall, who was
a very old friend"
Facts Missing
Hill neglects to state that this So
called voluntary appearance" by
Doheny came seven weeks after the
oil man had first appeared before the
committee and failed to even men
ton the so-called loan.
Doheny first appeared as a wit
ness before the committee on Dec.
8, 1923, but 1t was not until his sec
ond appearance on Jan. "a, 1924, that
he admitted anything concerning
the 100000 loan. On the occasion
of his first appearance no testimony
had yet been given indicating that
Fall ever had received 500, 900, but
in the interim Senator Thomas J.
Walsh heard Of Falls receiving a
large sum Of money from some
source It wasn't until then that
Doheny made his voluntary" ap-
pearance.
Onnits Admission
Describing the contract entered
into between the Government and
the Pan-American Petroleum and
Transport Company for lease Of the
Elk Hills naval oil reserve and con-
struction of storage tanks at Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, the pamphlet states
it was made on competitive bidding.
1t neglects,. however, to bring out the
admission which Senator Walsh clio
tied from Doheny that no other bid
der was offered a preference right
for additional leases on the reserve
such as was granted to his company.
tThe booklet also fails to state that
the indictments against Doheny and
Fall charge the contract for purchase
of royalty oil and leasing Of the Gov
eminent reserve was made without
competitive bidding, in a crafty. de-
ceitful, secret and surreptitious man
uer, ETC."
Is Example
Issuance Of the facts and figures"
booklet recalls another example of
how press agent machinery operates
in connection with the oil cases.
When the civil suits involving legal
ity Of the Teapot Dome lease to
Harry F. Sinclair were being tried
at Cheyenne, newspapers all over
the country received pictures for
publication purposes showing the

No Need to Get Stuck In Horse lrsde.-Expert Advice

Fined For Abusing Old Army N.g
 That Couldn't Trot

Hen Harry Jod0ln of Mechanics Eilie appeared ia the city court Tbnrs- day morning charged with fbe abusa - horse. there was more interest tn me statement of NilHamPhelus. rep FesentAttve Of the Humane Society than n the outcome of the proeead ings The defendant pleaded guilty and was fined Sl0 and costs of s 34 ana the payment of the fine was sus- pended
 II appeared that someone had sold a horse worth five dollars or less to the defendant. The animal was an old army nag that knew little except how to gallop. Trotting was some tnlng that he had never learned 4 large sore also developed on his ema ciated body. The owner had paid s75 Ter the old army saddle animal and was clearly stuck in the trade.
 When the horse wouldn't trot Je- doin galloped him up and down the road over Putnam Heights. whipping him as he ran. \ woman saw the pro. eeedlng' made complaint. and Jodoiu was arrested.
 Traffic In s5 Horses
 MT Phelps stated after the eourf proceeding that the Humane Soeiet, maintained a bureau in Hartforl which, if applied to. would send rep resentatiye free of charge to examine any horse to be purchased so that tn, purchaser would not get stuck" il the trade.
 The reason that the society doe. this is to try to stamp out the traffic in 'S5 horses" It is well known that interruptions horse traders buy nags with one or two, sometimes three. feet in the grave. doctor them up and then while they are in this state, unload them on the unsuspeetiHg purchaser When the effect of the drug passes the poor animals can hardly stand Their owners. not understanding the situa. ton. try to work them so as to get their moneys worth This causes sui fering to the animals. It Is said that in and about Hartford the traffic in such horses has been practically stamped out.
 With the knowledge imparted by Mir. Phelps there is no need of any person getting an old deerepit animal fostered upon him.
