Ger Tells Jury

Washington, April 1S.-(AP)-
Testimony that Albert B. Fall car
ried on all negotiation for the
actual leasing Of Teapot Dome to
Harry +. Sinclair, and that Secre-
tary DENLY Of the navy never con-
suited Fall was given today by Cap
tain J. X. Robson, retired naval Of
ficer, at the conspiracy trial Of the
oil man.
Severely cross examined by Owen
j. Roberts. government prosecutor,
the former chief of the navy bureau
Of engineering today could not point
out changes he had said DENLY had
made in the lease and he declared
the navy secretary had never con-
fcrrcd with either Fall or Sinclair
regarding it. The witness agreed
that the negotiations had been car
ried on with Sinclair by Fall and re-
ported to him as representative OF
the navy. The witness previously
had testified that DENLY directed
the leasing Of the oil reserve as q
unit upon Robinson's advise and
that this decision had been trans
mitted to Fall.
The cross examination was mark
ed by clashes between Roberts and
Robson and defense counsel fire.
uuently objected to Roberts method
Of examination. Robson said he
knew Sinclair, had played poker
with him and had been his guest at
a New York club at about the time
an important supplementary agree
ment on the lease was signed.
Robson Changes His Mind
Robson, who previously had testi-
fled that Texas company proposal
for the lease was not as good as the
one accepted, admitted he had mis-
understood a telegram from Amos
L. Beatty, then president of the con-
Germ. Roberts read the telegram
and Robson testified he had now
changed his mind. 1t had to do with
grades Of navy bunker oil.
Cross examination Of Robson be-
gan soon after court convened, and
followed a brief referenc- to the
question of national defense as it
relates to obtaining fuel for the
navy. The line was not pressed.

Sentiment in Massachusetts
Favors Governor Alfred E.
Smith of New York on the
Democratic Side, and Secre-
tary Of Commerce Hoover
Among Republicans

Boston, April 18.-tR-voters in
Massachusetts, will have q chance at
the presidential primaries April n
to say who thew think ought to be
the next president.
An emergency measure passed
this spring enables the rank and
file of voters to write or paste in
the name Of their favorite candi.
dates for president when they choose
their delegates to the national po-
litical convention. But while the
vote will indicate, preference, it will
not legally bind delegates.
Among the candidates for con.
vention delegates sentiment pre-
dominates for Gov. Alfred E. Smith
Of New York among the democrats,
and for Secretary Of Commerce
Herbert Hoover among the repub-
leans.
A Massachusetts law concerning
the pledging Of candidates brought
Governor Smiths first open dcclara-
ton of his candidacy for the demo-
cratic presidential nomination, and
the democratic state committee has
announced full list of candidates
for delegate-at~large pledged to
Smith. A complete list Of Smith
candidates appears in all 16 districts
Of the state.
Since no other candidate in either
party authorized use Of his name
on the ballot, no other candidates
are pledged, but Hoover supporters
say their candidate is likely to COM
mand 80 Of the 80 republican del
egates from Massachusetts,. The
delegates are likely to cast = vote
first for Gov. Alvan T. Fuller.
Among republican candidates for
delegate-at-large, Senator Freder.

Nathaniel Thayer, state director Of
immigration and Americanization,
and William NJ. Butler are un-
pledged; and several who are un-

RANGE AND LIVESTOCK REPORT

ter in very good flesh, and losses
have been lighter than usual.
Breeding stock are in very good
condition with favorable prospects
for the 1928 calf crop. Prices on
stock and breeding cattle are much
higher than last spring with q fair
demand. In the southwest contract
ing has been active. High prices
seem to have had tendency to limit
restocking where it is necessary to
buy cattle. The cattle industry is
on the best basis in several years,
but there is little evidence Of rapid
expansion at this time. Fed cattle
have generally shown some profit
to feeders.
Sheep
Sheep have wintered well in
North Dakota and are in better
shape than for several years. Some
wool is being contracted at an aver
age price of Sc cents. In South Da-
kota wool is being contracted at IS
to 40 cents, and lambs at 10 1-2 to
II cents. The larger part of the
Montana wool clip is contracted at
81 to AZ cents. Lamb contracting
is active at 10 1-2 % IL 1-2 cents.
Wyoming sheep are in fine shape,
and losses have been light. Much
of the wool crop is contracted at 80
to 38 cents, and many lambs at 10
to II 1-2 cents.
Throughout the seventeen range
states, generally, sheep have win
tered well, and are going to spring
ranges and lambing grounds in very
good condition. Breeding ewes are
in good healthy condition, and the
early crop of lambs has been very
good. Prospects for the late lambs
are good, but much will depend on
weather conditions during the next
five weeks. Spring sheep ranges
showed improvement during March
with very favorable feed conditions
in the lntermountain states. Sheep
and earl lamb losses have been
very light. Wool contracting con-
tinued active with slightly better
prices than were paid on early con-
tracts. Prices in the north general
~ range from IS to Al cents and
from SO to 43 cents in Texas. Lamb
contracting on the range continued
with prices ranging from 10 IL to
IL 1-2 cents.

The unusually favorable weather
experienced during the months of
January, February and March is re-
Elected in the above average condi-
ton Of all classes of livestock in
North Dakota on April first, accord
ing to . report of the United States
division of crop and livestock esti-
mates, reissued by Paul C. Newman,
agricultural statistician for North
Dakota. Throughout the entire
range area cattle and sheep are in
good flesh and losses have been
light. Spring feed prospects are
very promising in all except small
sections Of the southwest.
Ranges
Western North Dakota ranges are
free from snow, but feed has been
held back by cool weather of past
few weeks. Soil moisture is good,
and prospects are favorable for
early range. In western South Da-
kota ranges are good with good
spring range prospects. In Montana
ranges are supplied with abundance
Of moisture, making spring pros
poets very good. Range conditions
are promising in Wyoming, as we'll.
For the seventeen range states,
generally, prospects for spring feed
are generally very good except for
dry spots in western Texas. east
central and southeastern New Mex
leo, southern Arizona and a few
places in eastern Colorado. In the
intermountain states range pros
poets are much better than last
spring as there is a good supply Of
moisture, and feed is nicely start
ed. California ranges were improved
by rains. Rains and snow have add.
ed moisture in most of the other
states, which gives promise Of good
range feed.
Cattle
In North Dakota cattle improved
greatly in condition as a result Of
mild weather, and are in very COCO
flesh. Some breeding stock is being
sold under stimulus of high prices
In western South Dakota cattle are
in good flesh, and there is a COCO
demand at high prices. Montans
and Wyoming cattle are in gooC
shape, and losses have been light.
For the range area, generally
cattle have come through the win.

vogue for over . hundred years, IL 10 still . matter Of
record that the split has occurred many times.
In Wilson's twenty-five vote margin over Hughes in
1916. one was supplied by West Virginia, which cast
seven of the states eight for the republican nominee
Since there is no legal obligation on the electors 10
vote for the candidate Of their party, 1t would not be
illogical to suppose that the splits can be accounted
for by the exercise Of electoral Independence. But
IS q matter Of fact. the explanation Is the entirely
of the fact that they cast their ballots for men who
in turn are under the ethical obligation of voting for
certain candidates have at times named one or more
electors from the opposite ticket. Absurd as II might
seem that a Californian who wanted 10 vote for Taft
or Roosevelt in 1912 would return a Wilson elector,
yet. IL was done.
Not counting 1872. since 1927 Maryland's vote has
been split four times, CALIFORNIA; three times, and the
vote of eight other states once each.
In 1872 n peculiar condition was created by the
death Of Horace Greeley between the election and the
meeting Of the electoral college. Since his electors had
for Gratz Brown, the vice presidential nominee Of the
ticket, or Grant. and three votes for Greeley himself
had TO be disqualified. This situation could Of course
be duplicated by a similar unfortunate occurrence, but
under present conditions the death Of either nominee
would probably result in the entire party electoral
vote going to the vice presidential candidate.
In the meantime. the split remains a fact and at the
same time a mystery in so far as common sense Is
supposed to apply TO voting.

Checking Rum Runners

Canada. BY failing to take proper measures 20
check rum running, has not played fair with the uhlteu
States in its efforts to make a success OF Prohibitlon'
was the assertion of Rev. Henry Carter of London
British prohibition leader. in a recent address IN Que
bee. The British divine declared that Canada Is show
inv = decidedly unfriendly attitude toward the Ameri-
can prohibition law. and that the laxity of Canadian
laws and officials constitutes a serious handicap.
Az all border ports. the temperance leader asserted,
he had seen launches loaded with unconcealed liquor
waiting for darkness and an opportunity 70 run their
csrgoes across. At other points he saw trucks. SINH
larry loaded, ready TO dash across the border with
their contraband.
"The governments, the provincial governments,
should be told that the honor of Canada is deeply in
volved, and fair play to the United States is due Rev.
Carter said. "The United States is making a daring
moral experiment. II il wins through il will have
made a mark of every other civilized nation will take
clear heed"
The efforts Of the London divine are commendable,
but the effect will be negligible. Canada cannot I'M
derstand the American prohibition problem. and unless
the public is interested in suppression of the traffic
between Canada and the United States. il is obvious
that the provincial governments will not worry 70 any
great extent over the situation.
The situation is very unfortunate. Bands of boot
l.ggers and liquor runners infest both the Canadian
and Mexican borders. Wherever American officers are
vigilant they have suppressed the traffic to some ex-
tent. hut the long reaches Of border country, sparsely
nopulated, would require thousands Of officers to pre-
vent smuggling OF liquor. Neither Canada nor Mexico
are interested in aiding the United States in solving
the problem. Both countries are deriving no inconsid-
cradle revenue from this source, and apparently they
are more interested in cash returns than in a moral
experiment. as the British divine characterizes Ameri-
can prohibition.
When the United States presented the subject of
yur-running to Great Britain several years ago, the
British government conceded the right of this country
20 search and seize British vessels carrying Illicit car
goes within twelve miles of the American coast. This
agreement was dictated by international good will
rather than as a moral protest on the part Of the
British. Possibly. IL the United States would approach
Mexico and Canada upon the same plane those coun-
tries might be willing to lend their aid in r~emedying
conditions upon their borders.
