This line Of evidence, which was
begun soon after the government had
suffered a temporary setback in its
attempt to get Sinclair's sworn testi-
mony before a senate investigating
committee admitted as evidence, was
designed to show that Fall made
huge profits out of the leasing of
Tea Pot Dome. In refusing this
sworn testimony, however, the court
held voluntary testimony by Sinclair
could be offered.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-(R,-Parb
Of the testimony of Harry n. Sim
clair before the senate oil committee,
was excluded from the Tea Pot Dome
criminal conspiracy trial today by
Justice Siddons in the District OF
Columbia supreme court.
While excluding the specific offer
of the testimony Of December a,
1923, Justice Siddons did admit the
statement made by Sinclair 20 the oil
committee on October 20, 1923. as he
was not placed under oath At that
time and consequently was not a wit
ness in the legal sense.
Justice Siddons held that under the
law testimony given before a con-
gressional committee could not be
used against the witness, giving il i'm
any future criminal proceedings
against him.
Adverting to the ruling Of Justice
Hoehling in the Fall-Doheny trial
last November admitting statements
by both the defendants in that case.
Justice Siddons said those statements
were purely voluntary and conse-
quently do not fall within the pro-
hibition Of the Law.

announced last night by S. K.

was in Tucson yesterday.
Simmonds declared he regretted
the recent undue publicity given
a storm in that section of the west
coast of Mexico, which, he said,
was a rather miner one to cause
so much disturbance with the
stories which followed it.
People in the east with either
business or family connections in
business or family connections in
the west coast wired hurriedly
asking if all had been wiped out,
while in fact, according to Sim
monds, there was little damage
done, and the custom house at
Yavaros, which was reported
wiped out, was a small shack
made. of wood which could have
been blown down by a very minor
breeze.
The residents of the same place
who were reported to have fed to
the hills, did not exist, said Sim

siastic. Ali we need now is a
