OIL DEFENSE
Ry GEORGE e. nuRNn.

Es9yr
The defense took q, prosecution
witness today in the Fall-Sinclair
oil conspiracy trial and materially
strengthened one Of its chief con.
tentions through an adroit cross
examination.
A. w. Ambrose, former chief
petroleum technolosist, who only
yesterday had told court and jury
that former Secretary Of the In.
terror Albert B. Fall was the donai.
nant figure In leasing Teapot Dome
reserve to Harry r. Sinclair, was
turned over to George Hoover,
Sinclair attorney, for examination.
From him, Hoover drew the
statement that he, az an expert.
had advised Fall there was grave
danger of drainage In the Teapot
Dome as a result Of the operation
of wells on 6.400 acres of adjoining
land In the Salt Creek field.
The defense contends Fall leased
the reserve to Sinclair because of
the drainage fear, and not because
of a. quarter-million.do bribe, as
charged by the Government.
Turning to the Sinclair lease,
which Ambrose and Fall Jointly
drafted, Hoover elected from the
witness the statement that Fall re-
fused the suggestion of the Sin.
clair lawyers that the Wyoming
field price be the basis of the con-
tract. and insisted the exchange OF
oil be based on either the Wyoming
or the mid-continent price-which-
ever was higher. Thus. Ambrose
said, the Government got mora fuel
oil in exehan=s for tts crude oil.

sUDLERsvIULE CONCRETE ROAD
Link of Good Interstate Road VIII
Eventually Be Built, 1t is Said

The new state road East of Sud
lersville, which has been under con-
struction for the last few weeks, was
finished last week and soon will be
opened to the public. This is the first
section of the six-mile stretch of
highway which, eventually, will con-
meet the Maryland road in Queen
Anne's County with the dupont Boule-
ward in Delaware. When completed,
this road will give virtually contin-
uous stretch of hard surface highway
from the Delaware Bay to the Chesa-
peake Bay by way of Kenton and
Smyrna. The thoroughfare also
will be of great advantage in develop
ing the peninsula. The new highway,
recently completed, connecting Queens
town with the northern road extend
ing to Centreville was opened to traf-
fic last week 1t is one of the finest
new roads constructed in recent years
and travellers have commented upon
the smoothness and perfection of con-
struction. Owing to the fact that the
traffic has increased greatly at the
four corners in Sudlersville, meet
ing of the taxpayers of the town was
called for Friday night. 1t was unan-
imously voted to purchase and install
an overhead stop light. An officer
will be named to direct traffic for one
week after the light is installed. The
Civic Betterment League donated $50
toward the purchase of the light.

FARNHURST HIGHWAY BRIDGE
Needs To Be Widened To Take Care
of Increased Highway Traffic


The improvements being made to
the highways up the state will not be
completed, it is believed before No
vember. This will be about the time
the new bridge over the Christiana
river at Market street will be complet-
ed. One leaf of the bridge vas rails
ed and lowered last week and worked
fine. But there are still about SIX
weeks more work on the bridge be-
fore it will be ready for use. High
way officials have conferred with Off
cials of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company regarding the construction
of a new bridge over the railroad at
Farnhurst. The road was there be-
fore the bridge was built, so that at
torneys for the highwap officials claim
that it is up to the railroad to con-
struct the new bridge. The railroad
officials have informed highway Off
cials that it would be fine of the state
and railroad shred equally on the ex-
pense, it is stated, but in the face of
their attorneys decision this is not at
this time being seriously considered,
it is stated. Chief Engineer c. D.
Buck and w. w. Mack, secretary of
the State Highway Commission leave
this week for Denver, Colorado, where
they will attend the sessions of the
American Association of State High
way Officials. Mr.. Mack is treasurer
of the organization and Mr.. Buck will
preside at one of the sessions, at
which some of the problems confront
ing highway engineers will be dis
cuSSed
