The day after the opener, meeting
into Cobb as he came on the field,
he remarked to me:
"How did the old man look to you
yesterday? Am not in great shape?
I'm pounds lighter than have been
in years for so early in the spring"
agreed with Cobb that physically
he certainly looked great and as
sured him that If he felt as we'll as
he looked he would surprise lot
Of the folks before the season was

Going back to the opening day
game, I told him that I guess he
surprised everybody in the ball park
with his bunt, as well as his going
from first to third on a short single.
I asked him If 1t wasn't a little
early to be pulling such strenuous
stuff.
Cobb's reply made it apparent
just how he works the power of

DISAGREE ON
LAW
Oil Man Objects to Testi-
mOny; Ex-senator De-
sires its Admission.
CLINCHING ENDS
Government Offers Much
Cumulative Evidence
Bearing on Leasing.

WASHINTON, Oct IS GA diff
terence of opinion between the de-
tendants, Albert B. Fall and Harry F..
Sinclair, developed today as the gov
ernment continued to unfold to a Jury
in the District of Columbia supreme
court the story upon which it based
an indictment for criminal conspir-
acy in connection with the leasing of
the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve.
Breaking into the proceedings for
second time within less than week,
Fall shouted that he had no objection
to the presentation of certain technical
testimony by the government to which
George P. Hoover, chief counsel for
Sinclair, had offered vigorous protest
and argument before Justice SiddonS.
This time Fall did not rise from
his chair as he did last week, when
he appealed to the court to admit tes-
timony which he regarded as vital
to his Defense" After he had stated
that he had no objection the former
interior secretary glanced over toward
the jury while his counsel, William E.
Eeahy, made this supplemental state
ment to the court:
1--WE want the record to show that
we do not object to any questions re-
lating to this lease"
Much of the evidence offered today
by the governments verbal and
documentary-Was Of cumulative char
acter, going directly into important
elements of the case, including the
failure of Fall to submit legal ques-
tioas connected with the leasing trans
actions to the legal officers of the
government. the purchase by Sinclair
of outstanding claims to lands in Tea
pot Dome by other oil companies, and
the personal handling Of decisions on
legal and other points in the lease of
the Wyoming naval oil reserve.
On cross examination Of one gov
ernment witness, Arthur w. Ambrose,
former petroleum technologist of the
interior department, the defense scor-
ed with testimony that both Ambrose
and H. Foster Balm, director of the
bureau of mines, had informed Fall of
the danger of the drainage of Teapot
Dome through wells drilled in the ad-
jacent Salt Creek field
Moreover, Ambrose said he regarded
the drafting of the lease as a regular
business transaction; that Fall had
not given him orders about secrecy In
the negotiations with Sinclairs coun-
sci, and that it was Fall himself who
insisted that there was to be an equal
exchange of crude royalty for fuel oil
instead of an exchange based on lower
market rates prevailing at the time,
During the day the government put
into the record by agreement with de-
fenSe counsel an affidavit of man
long since dead, j. w. zevely, one
time washington attorney for Sinclair,
and the affidavit of former Attorney
General Harry M Daugherty. zevely's
testimony was that Fall made decision
in the drafting of the lease and
sought the "best terms he could get
for the government, while Daugherty's

extend the number Of days during
which the commissioners could col

period to 100 days in each year while
the proposed measure would allow

In addition to senate bill No. 13,

body Monday.

way bill, however, were not included

ing the measure, said that the plan

MAKES
FIRST OFFICIAL
CALL in MEXICO
Very Few Americans Have
Aroused More Cordial Re-
action Than Ambassador

0 MEXICO CITY, Oct. 25 (P-In an
atmosphere of warm cordiality, al
though it was purely formal diplo-
matte occasion, Dwight w. Morrow,
the new American ambassador, eStab-
Hshed his first official contact with
the Mexican government at 11:30
o'clock this morning, when, accom-
panied by Arthur Schoenfeld, coun-
sellor of the embassy he called upon
Senor Estrada at the foreign office.
The acting foreign minister expressed
great pleasure, both personally and for
the Mexican government in well
coming Mr.. Morrow to Mexico. The
ambassador replied that he appreciated
exceedingly the kind sentiments, and
that it was a great pleasure for him
to be in Mexico.
All the high officials of the foreign
office were called in by Senor Estrada
to meet the ambassador. The recep-
ton lasted abol4i ten minutes, and
Mr.. lSchoenfeld presented a formal
note requesting an appointment for
the ambassador with President Gales.
The president probably will receive the
ambassador next week. Until then
Mr.. Schoenfeld will act as charge
d'affaires
The newspapers are finding consid-
erable satisfaction in the discovery
that the new American ambassador
reads some Spanish. He practiced a
few Spanish phrases in his conversa-
ton with Mexican officials on the
train coming down. There has been
much favorable editorial comment and
kindly headlines, with emphasis on his
agreeable personality. All this, with
the fact that he is learning Spanish,
has caused the public to receive Mr..
Morrow as "muy simpatico," meaning
very sympathetic toward Mexico.
Whatever future developments may
be, few Americans coming to Mexico
in any capacity have aroused a more
cordial reaction among MeXicanS than
Ambassador Morrow has done thus far.

association as to the reception and
entertainment of Commander Rich

Following the reception there will be
a banquet given at the Club Sociale

is on the United States side of the
border. It is expected that the field
will be cleared or at least partially
cleared by the time the planes
arrive so that the aviation experts
may see what Douglas will offer Tor
the regular commercial mail, freight
and passenger lines.
Will N. Fox, manager for Mr.. Mad
dllx, of Maddux, Inc, the western
representatives of the Ford aeronaut-
ical activities, is expected here Friday
or Saturday to look over the situa-
ton and confer with the N. A. A.
officials, after which he will go east
to Houston, Texas, where he will
meet the planes, returning with them
to Douglas.
It is pointed out by the officials
of the N. A. A. that the impression
made on these fliers when they arrive
here will mark the turning point in
aviation activities in this district.
If these men, representing as they
do the transcontinental airWays, are
favorably impressed with Douglas and
with it's attractions and facilities as
an airport, then this community may
look into the near future for a great
new business, the N. A. A. officials

caravan with $50 miners would
leave Lafayette in the morning and
that the strikers would carry their
own camping outfits and food. He
said 800 gallons of gasoline had been
donated for the trip.
Clemens emphasized that the ex-
cursion would be peaceable and that
it was ordered to hold mass meetings
to attempt to induce the miners of
