REVEAL. HARDING
OK. ON OIL STEAL
Elk President Insisted
on Deal, Fall Says

WASHINGTON, March 25.-War.
rem G. Harding's connection with the
"lease" of the Teapot Dome naval oil
reserves is made more specific than
il ever has since the details of the
scandal became public, by an affidavit
just made by Albert B. Fall which
will be used in defense of Harry F
Sinclair at the latter's trial beginning
here April A.
At the same time former secretary
cf the navy, Edwin DENLY, who thus
far has escaped complete exposure of
his part in the transaction, is named
by Fall as the active intermediary in
the huge steal.
Names Harding.
"The executive order of May 81,
1921" the affidavit reads, twas pro-
mulgated at the request of Secretary
Denby" and later signed by Fall "at
the insistence of the president of the
United States"
Further light on the connection OF
administration officials with the oil
operators was shed Saturday wher

shipping board in the Harding regime
was examined by the senate oil com
mittee.

FRISCO POLICE
BEAT CHINESE
Maltreat Orientals Who
Await Deportation

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.--
United States troops still remain at
Angel Island where Chinese are
awaiting deportation. Six Chinese,
who are accused of being the leaders
of a Chinese "riot,' are now in the
county jail of San Francisco. They
were seriously beaten when they were
en- route from the island to the jail.
Two of them are near death. Local
papers here say nothing. The let
ters from the Chinese on the island
to the Chinese organizations and con-
sui reveal the following facts:
Wong, boy of nineteen, with
his sister were among the ones await
ing deportation. They were separated
according to the regulations here. The
brother wanted to console his sister.
He therefore wrote a short note and
slipped it to his sister with three dol
lars when she came to eat after the
males did. Both the note and the
money were taken away by the ma
tron. We did take it back from her
by force. We never injured her. This
we could swear. We heard that those
innocent friends, who were unfor-
tunately arrested, were treated badly.
We should not be forced to stand this
treatment. Therefore we write this
letter to you to inform you of the
facts and ask you to help those ar
rested. The treatment here is very
bad. But help them first /. -
Chinese organizations are taking
the case seriously. What will be done
is not yet known.

According to the annual report the
company made a net profit of $16,-

Shenandoah Miners to
Support Progressives

PITTSBURGH, Mar. IS. - Rank
and file striking miners Of Allegheny
county won second round today in
their fight for mass picketing which
they are convinced is the greatest
weapon in winning the strike. Sheriff
Robert Braun stated that no more
arrests will be made of the thousands
of miners who are picketing in great
masses practically every mine in the
Allegheny valley until the test case
cf sixty-five pickets from Theveskyn
is decided. Every picket with the
exception of Pat Pagan, president OF
district 5, has refused bail.
Warden Mcneil declares that the
Pittsburgh Jail cannot house more
than seven more.
The first round was won two weeks
ago when the miners went on picket
lines by hundreds, thus forcing union
officials to change their policy and
agree to mass picketing.
