Another Sinclair
Employee Charged.
As Jury 7an1perer

I WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 G9-An-
other Sinclair Oil official is charged
with having had contact with the
Burns detectives involved in the Fall
Sinclair, conspiracy mistrial refused
to testify today in the government S
investigation into the allegations OF
jury tampering.
He is Sheldon Clark. vice president
and general manager of the Sinclair
Refining company, prominent socially
and politically in Chicago and one
!! of the judges who made the decision
in the Dempsey -Tunney fight in thai
city last September.
Coming here under subpoena,
Clark was sent before the grand jury.
but remained less than five minutes
He declined to make any statement,
but it was announced that he had
only been excused and would be
recalled again tomorrow.
At that time, Neil Burkinshaw as
sistant district attorney conducting
the inquiry, will put to him certain
questions designed to elicit informa-
ton as to whether he had contact
between the detectives and Harry F.
Sinclair while the Teapot Dome con-
spiracy trial was in progress.
Should Clark refuse to answer those
questions, District Attorney Gordon
then will decide whether he will fol-
low the course pursued in the case
of Henry Mason Day, another OF
Sinclair's confidential officers, who
was taken before Chief Justice Mccoy
in the District of Columbia supreme
court.
After the chief justice decided sew
eral days ago that Day could not
be forced to testify because he haG
claimed his evidence might tend to
incriminate him, the Sinclair official
was taken before United States Com
missioner Turnage and a complaint
charging him and Sinclair with con-
spiracy to influence the verdict of
the trial jury was sworn out. Day
waived a preliminary hearing and
was released on $25, 900 bond to await
the action OF the grand jury.
Day had as his attorney Daniel
Thew Wright, fcrmer Justice OF the
district supreme court. Morgan Beecf,
a former district attorney and clerk
of the district court, is counsel for
Clark
Turning from Clark's case, the
grand jury questioned seven OF the
Burns men at different times during
the day and from their testimony
began to piece cut the complete pc
ture of the trial jury surveillance.
One interesting bit of information
the prosecution obtained today for the
first time Was description Of a
''pep" meeting held by the Burns
men at the Mayflower hotel head
quarters of Sinclair during the trial
after midnight on Saturday, October
%. The trial then had been ir
progress five days.
/. Charles G.. Ruddy, who was direct
ing the private operatives, presided
and made an address. It was stated
officially that the detectives received
Iadditlonal instructions as to tt
precise duties, these including the
close shadowing OF relatives OF two
Jurors. John P. Kern and Edward j

In connection with this ai1-

Of evolution, by definite and

Through painstaking study of

He discovered that if a. climate
grows colder, cOlors in butterfly
wings take on more sOmber and
less brilliant hueS, while the pres
ent trend towards warmer tenn
peratureS betOkenS more brilliant

predictions, he says, are 0ased on
the geological precept that the
ice age is still waning, that the
seasons gradually are warming
up.
Applying his predictions to the
human race, he say: "If it were
possible to bring together as many
human beings as butterflies it
is possible that we could look
posterity in the face and predict
the physical and mental char
acteristicS of the race that would

Evelyn Bergman. County Club Leader

Congressman Lever, in introducing
the bill which made boys and girls
club work possible said, eff rural
life is to be re-adjusted and agricul-
ture dignified as a profession as 1t
should be and is, the country boy and
girl must be made to know, in the
most positive way, that successful
agriculture requires as much brain
as does any other occupation In life.
The whole trend of our system of
education is calculated to minimize
agriculture as a profession. It's logi-
cal tendency Is to create feeling of
dissatisfaction with farm life and
an ambition to get away from it.
Such situation is unfortunate; it is
most dangerous. The farm boy and
girl can be taught that agriculture
is the oldest and most dignif1ed of
the professions"
