SUIT AIMS
AT SINCLAIR PROFIT
Delaware Action Based on
Demand for Accounting
in Salt Creek.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Department of Justice announces
last night it had instituted suit against
the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Co.
and the Mammoth Oil Co. in the United
States District Court at Wilmington,
Del, to recover profits the corporations
made out of the purchase of royalty
oil in the Salt Greek, Wyo., field.
The Government asks for accounting
of all gains and profits" made from
the sale of approximately 20,000.000
barrels Of oil, and that the contracts
under which the oil was delivered be
Cancelled.
Renewed Then Cancelled.
The contracts for the sale Of the
royalty oil in the Salt Creek field were
let to Harry F. Sinclair, organizer Of
the Mammoth Oil Co.. by former Secre-
tary of the Interior Albert B. Fall.
The contracts were renewed last Febru-
ary by Secretary Work, but were can
ceied a short time ago by Secretary
West, who acted on the opinion of At
torney General Sargent that they were
invalid because Of clause providing
for their renewal.
In the suit filed at Wilmington the
Government did not name Sinclair or
Fall because it is a suit in equity and
neither of them lives in the district
where the suit is brought. 1t charges.
however, that Sinclair and Fall con-
spired to defraud the Government Of its
royalty oil through the awarding of
the contract to Sinclair and to defraud
the Government Of its rights to honest
and conscientious services Of its off,
GERS" and of its right to have its busi-
ness conducted honestly by the Sec
retary Of the Interior.
Contention In Brief.
The Governments brief says that
Fall and Sinclair knew that the con-
spiracy required "a wilful and deliber-
ate violation by Fall of the laws Of the
United States and Of the trust and con-
fidence reposed in him by virtue OF his
position of Secretary Of the Interior"

FULL APPEAL ASKED.
Opposition Noted to Action on Re-
stricted Phase.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court was asked to
pass on all phases Of the appeal OF
Harry F. Sinclair from his conviction OF
misdemeanor for refusing to answer
questions of a Senate committee In o
motion filed yesterday by Owen J. Rob-
ertS and Atlee Pomerene, special Gov
ernment counsel.
The motion asked the court to take
this course instead of answering t1ve
questions asked by the District of CO.
lumbia Court of Appeals, before which
the Sinclair appeal is now pending, for
it's guidance in considering certain
phases of the case.
The Government motion pointed out
that speed in the administration OF
justice as well as economy OF effort OF
both the highest court and OF counsel
would be served by passing on the en-
tire case, instead Of considering only
certain phases of it.
Predicting that Sinclair would ulti-
mately endeavor to bring the entire
case before the Supreme Court should
the Court of Appeals decide against him,
the motion said it would require but
little more labor and search on the
part of the court to take up and con-
slider the entire record in this case"
Even should the Supreme Court
answer the questions in a way favorable
to the Government, there are other
points on which Sinclair would seek q
review by the highest tribunal, the mo-
ton added. It contended that the rec
ord sent up by the Court of Appeals in
connection with its five questions was
incomplete and did not contain all the
facts upon which the case must
eventually be decided.

Not that I believed it proceeded from

ical weather was continuing with north
east trade winds. 1t was very hot be-

hurried to their posts and every sailor
20 his station. Nobody knew the cause
for the alarm. No evidence of danger
was seen and no officer had ordered

TEST MADE ON CONvICTs.
Pellagra Developed and Cured In Gold
berger Experiments.

JACKSON, Miss. December 90 R).-
1t was on q Mississippi convict farm
that DR.. Joseph Goldberger, whose life
is now threatened at Washington by
some strange malady, discovered the
cause and cure of pellagra.
During the administration of Gov.
Earl Brewer, 1912 to 1916, q secret
agreement was entered into with a
group of white convicts at the Rankin
farm to determine the truth of DR..
Goldberger's theory that pellagra was
caused by an unbalanced ration.
In pursuance of this theory DR.. Gold
berger fed group of convicts on un-
balanced rations - chiefly cornbread
and bacon-for several months, and
positive cases Of pellagra developed. He
then, by feeding the same prisoners on
well balanced diet, restored them to
health. All members of the group then
were pardoned by Gov. Brewer.
