AGAIN
DEF|ES SENATE

Facing a citation for contempt o.
the Senate, Robert w. Stewart
chairman of the Standard Oil OF In
diana, today again defied the Senate
Public Lands Committee by refusing
to reveal what he knew of the Con-
tinental Trading Company's $s,OSO.-
600 Liberty bond fund.
Stewards refusal to testify on this
important point was placed in the
record for the second time in order
to form the basis for contempt pro-
ceedings.
The question that Stewart refused
to answer was:
do YOU know anything about the
Continental Company's purchase OF
Liberty bonds?"
His reply was:
with all difference to you / have
to repeat that I never made q dol
lar out of it and that's my answer.
Stewart got into a clash with
Senator Cutting R.) Of New, Mexico,
while on the stand, when the latter
told him there was Il possible as
sumption" that he was committing
perjury. Stewart flared with anger,
characterized the statement as an
insult and threatened to leave the
committee room.
Cutting withdrew the remark and
peace was restored.
Fall Got Part
It has already been established
that the Continental Company pur.
chased $1,000, 900 in Liberty bonds,
and 1895, 900 of them have been
traced to ex-Secretary of the Interior
Albert B. FAN. The committee Is
endeaVoring to determine who got
the balance. There have been many
rumors about these remaining bonds.
Prior to Stewards second defiance
of the committee, Senator Walsh
had placed on the stand several wit.
nesses who sat in at the New York
conference which negotiated the pur.
chase Of the Humphreys oil, among
them ex-senator Charles Thomas, at.

NEW YORK. Feb. 3.-Irelands
Two foremost political 1eaders-Wil-
jam +. Cosgrave and Eamon de
Walera-are in New York, stopping
ut hotels q stones throw apart yet
neither has taken official cognizance
OF the other.
Both are here on separate mis-
sions Both depart shortly for
Ireland, on different liners. and
when they get back to the old coun-
try they viii continue their political
battle.
AtaIeast De Valera will.
For De Valera, who is head of the
Republican party of Ireland and
leader Of the minority in the Dial,
believes that he will be able to
ldethrone Cosgrave at the next gem
eral election.
COsgrave Margin Slim
Eosgrave's party now holds 81
seats in the Dali, De Valera's So.
Politically, they are miles apart.
De Valera advocates complete ma
tional independence for Ireland.
Cosgrave, who is president OF the
Irish Free State, has agreed to a
compromise with Great Britain. He
accepts the situation that exists to-
day--that is, IseIand is partitioned
and subject to British domination.
He believes, however, that the Irish
Free State, has attained freedom.
But De Valera thinks the Irish ma
tion should be an entity, and that
the King of England should have
no voice whatever in its govern
sac ~ + + p q i i
Two Missions Separate
Neither Cosgrave nor De Valera
have discussed their conflicting
views here.
De Valera came here in advance
0f Cosgrave. He visited Boston,
Providence r. T., New Haven,
Newark, Philadelphia, Cleveland,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-02-03

Detroit. Chicago, Los Angeles and
san Francisco His purpose was
to obtain financial support for the
establishment OF a daily newspaper,
costing 81, 900, 900. to be published
in Ireland. He proposed to raise
half that sum among the friends
OF complete Irish independence in
this country.
Cosgrave came little later. on a
mission OF good will. chiefly to
show and express his gratitude to
America for the aid and sympathy
accorded the Irish cause. He
visited Chicago, Washington, D. c.,
and Ottawa. Canada. He called
upon President Coolidge and was
warmly welcomed by the financiers
in New York. He made no mention
of an Irish loan.
In addition to his object of raising
funds for the Irish daily, De Valera
made an inquiry to determine what
businesses could be developed in Ire
land in the event that the Republican
party overthrows Cosgrave and
comes into power.
Two Biggest Parties
Cosgrave and De Valera head the
two biggest political parties in Ire
land. De Valera's organization is
known as the Fianna Fail and has
1900 branches OF clubs. Cosgrave's
is the Cumann Ma NgaeI and Is not
so highly organized. The other
political parties are the Redmonites,
which have two members in the Dali;
the Labor panty, which has Is men,
bers; the Farmers which have six,
and the Independents, which have
IL. The Redmonites and the Labor
parties usually support De Valera
when critical divisions arise, while
the Farmers an Independents sup
port Cosgrave.
Political experts say that on a
critical division in the Dali, Cos
grave today can control 70 votes
and De Valera 70.
President Cosgrave will be the
guest of honor at the annual EN-
eHald Ball here tonight, and will sail
early tomorrow on the Olympic for
Ireland.
De Valera will he given a fare
well reception at the Mecca Temple
Sunday night. at which, a "pro-
nouncement of unusual Importance
will be made" He will sail for
Ireland shortly afterward.

Walsh read the Senate resolution
ordering the inquiry into the bonds.
"Didyou understand when asked
about bonds that I referred to the
bonds mentioned in this resolution"
IT think did"
"When you declined ito answer

to were those mentioned in the
resolution"

Walsh then read Stewards state
ment yesterday that he had never
given any bonds to any political
party"
What induced you to specify

II heard it from SOME source

those bonds"
And what you do know, you de-
cline to tell?"
Eyes, regretfully take that
position" Stewart replied.
In declining to answer any ques-
tons about the bonds, Stewart said
he believed the subject should be
investigated by the courts.
Senator Bratton CD Of New
Mexico then asked Stewart why he
agreed to pay $1.75 when Hum
phreys was selling the oil at $3.50
a barrel. Bratton brought out that
the lower price would have Melted
the Standard $8,O0O,OO0 more profit
If Stewart had obtained it instead
Of paying $175.
Turning to Bratton, Stewart said:
Maybe you should have been

Oil of Indiana. Maybe I did make
a mistake. Maybe / amt good
