SINCLAIR ID TALK EARLY NEXT WEEK
Will Appear Before Teapot Dome
 Committee Tuesday

Washington, April 25 R-The appearance of Harry r. Sinclair be- fore the senate Teapot Dome com- mittee next Tuesday may terminate the long inquiry into the disposition of the bonds of the Continental Trading Company.
 Coincident with the preparation of a resolution today by Senator Walsh, of Montana, to dismiss sen ate contempt charges against Robert W. Stewart, of the Standard Oli Company, of Indiana. both Walsh and Chairman Nye said the winding up of the investigation would depend largely upon the character of Sin- clair's testimony.
 Although the committee prosecu- tor favored relieving Stewart of sen- ate arrest, he still is under federal indictment for the offense and the action in that ease is for the district attorney here. Likewise Walsh's plans have met opposition from some senators, who claim Stewart should have come before the bar of the senate to purge himself.
 It was indicated that Sinclair probably would be on the stand foi several hours as the committed wants to inquire not only into wha' he did with all of his share of the Continental profits but also as to hi! political contributions since the for nation of the Continental concerI to traffic in American oil.
 The committee now has traced al except approximately $225,000 of thu S3,0so, 900 of liberty bonds which II s. Osler. president of the now extinc Continental concern. bought witt profits made on the oil deal ant which he distributed equally be tween Sinclair. H. M. Blackmer James E. O'Neil, and Stewart. Tn
 missing bonds are those whicl
 formed a part of sinclairs share.
 One of the shares. that of H. M
 Blackmer, now in Europe is held il
 trust in New York city while tw
 others have been turned over to o
 companies. That of O'Neil was turn
 ed back to the Prairie Oil X Gas Co
 which in turn gave 1t to the Prairi
 Pipe Line Co.,, while the profits tha
 were turned over to Stewart hay been delivered to the Sinclair Crud
 Oil Purchasing Company.
 The Walsh report on Stewart wa considered by the Teapot Dome com
 mittee at noon and provoked s much discussion that the senator decided to take 1t up again later
 the day. There were various pro posals for amendment and Chairma Nye said he thought it finally woul be put in such shape as to be sati.
 factory to all members of the con mittee.
 Senator Nye said he wanted ti report to include a suggestion tn; Stewards testimony of February all , yesterday should be studied by il
 federal district attorney.

BEDTIME STORIES

the very edge of the water the twins
discovered what they took to be two
other little spotted fawfs staring at
them. OF course. 1t was their own re-
Fiction Presently there was a sharp
whistle on the other side of the little
pond The twins looked up and across,
There stood Lightfoot the Deer. How
handsome he vast TO be sure. those
antlers of his, those wonderful antlers,
were but half-grown. But his coat was
in the beautiful Summer reddish color,
and he was slim and trim and graceful.
That's your father" whispered Mrs,
Liehtfoot to the twins, and waded a
little out into the water, not once look
ing toward Lightfoot. She simply was
pretending that she didn't see him.
Out farther and farther into the
water waded Mrs Lightfoot. She
plunged her head wholly under water
and brought up a lily-root and began
to MUNICH It, The twins stared in
round-eyed wonder. Mrs. Lightfoot
turned her head toward them and en-
couraged them TO wade out But they
were timid. This water was a new thing
to them, They ran back and forth
along the shore, They went out a lit
tie way and then ran back. Little by
little they were getting acquainted
with it.
Presently one of them gave startled
little snort. His mother turned to see
what had startled him He was gazing
intently out on the water Mrs. Light
foot looked
ITS all right my dear" said she.
THAT Is only Paddy the Beaver. He
will not hurt you. He is quite harmless
You haven't a thing in the world to
fear from Paddy No one fears him
In fact. We are all fond of Paddy the
Beaver, for were 1t not for him we
would not have this nice pond"
The twins were still suspicious. as
babies are apt TO be In the presence OF
strangers. But they knew that Mother
knew and so presently they stopped
watching Paddy and began to gambol
on the edge of the water. Then right
into the midst of their play there came
sharp loud crack--a most startling
sound 1t frightened the twins almost
out of their wits. They bounded into
the woods with little bleats of fright.
Their mother bounded after them.
ITS nothing, my dears." said she
There's nothing to be afraid of. Paddy
the Beaver simply slapped the water
with his big. broad tail. / suspect he
did 1t to scare you. I'm glad you've
heard it. Usually, Paddy sees or smellc
some danger when he uses that signal.
Whenever you hear it, be ready TO
watch. Be suspicious. II. after he has
slapped the water. Paddy disappears.
you may be sure that there is danger
OF some sort near"
