Dome scandal, Colonel Robert W. Stewart Of the
Standard Oil Company Of Indiana, yesterday cleansed
with a bucket Of whitewash by Washington, D. C..
Jury, following his trial on q charge OF contempt OF
the Senate.
The charge against Stewart resulted from his re-
fusal to answer questions put 10 him by the Senate
Investigating committee when he appeared before It
in February 10 testify concerning the Continental
Trading Company.
Justice Siddons presiding al the trial, placed the
following four questions before the Jury for decision
Did Stewart appear before the committee? Was ne
sworn as witness Did he take the stand as d Wit
ness? Did he testify witness and did ne refuse 10
answer the questions put TO him?
After deliberatng 2 hours, the jury found nm
not guilty following three ballots the first OF Whch
showed five for acquta and for conviction; the
second nine for acquitta and three for conviction
The verdict reached notwithstanding news
paper reports Of the hearing referred 70 snow thal
Stewart not only refused 10 answer questions asked
while on the witness stand but also declared ne never
received any Of the Continental Trading Company
bonds which figured in the Teapot Dome tTansactoH'
Yet Immediately following the &cqual OF Harry ON

Hoover and Boulder

An indication of the hopeless nature of the Dem
Ocratic campaign is found in the effort of Senator
Pttman and other Democratic leaders to make it
appear that Herbert Hoover is against the Boulder
Dam project ,.--.,
but they are attempting to create that impression
slyly, by innuendo and indirection
Let us recall few of the facts in the history of
the Boulder Dam campaign.
Nearly eight years ago Hoover appointed by
the president federal member of the Colorado River
Commission and was made chairman. He spent near
y two years investigating the problem.
In November 1922 at Santa Fe, Hoovers patience,
hard work and statesmanlike qualities brought about
the signing of the Colorado River Compact, which
an essential preliminary to the Boulder Dam
project.
Hoover was then, as leaders of the Nevada
Democracy well know, staunch believer in and
supporter of Boulder dam.
During the years of Interstate controversy aris-
ing of the refusal Of Arizona to ratify the Com
pact, Hoover at all times has endeavored to bring
the states to agreement 80 that the Boulder Dam
project could proceed.
During the years of the tendency of the Swing
Johnson Bill in Congress, Hoover has been the back
bone of its strength. He has constantly been con-
suited the changing phases Of the legislation. To
him more than to any other one person is due the
credit for the present satisfactory form of the bill
and the commanding position occupies in Congress
Before the committees of the House and the
Senate in public and in private conversa
tions Hoover has at all times positively, clearly and
emphatically favored the Boulder dam project.
The radical changes in form which the Swing
Johnson bill developed last winter received the ap-
prOval or Herbert Hoover and MS nnuence was very
helpful factor in securing the favorable action of
the Senate Committee
Hoover's Los Angeles speech was positive and
emphatic approval of the Boulder Dam project as
proposed in the Swing johnson bill.
Hoovers New York speech directly advocated
government construction of all such projects where
food control and irrigation are the major features
and power a by-product
On the other hand Governor Smith, with all his
erratic jumping here and there in the effort to please
all elements, has not offered single proposal
which does not wreck hopes for early action.
Governor Smith, except for the ideas he received
from members of Governor Hunts Arizona Colorado
River Commission when they visited him at Albany
last spring is absolutely ignorant of the details of
the Boulder dam project and of the Colorado River
development problems.
Whom is it wise for Nevada to trust? Smith,
cropping for an issue, Hoover with his wealth of
information and his positive advocacy Of the Boulder
dam project set up in the Swing-Johnson bill IN
it's present form?
II Hoover against the SWING johnson bill,
would Senator Johnson be supporting Hoover for
President and would Hoovers political friends in
California be supporting Senator Johnson for re-
election?

CARE OF VETERANS
PROMISED By HOOVER

WASHINGTON. - Addressing .
delegation Of veterans representing
the various war service orgAniza-
tons Of the District Of Columbia,
Herbert Hoover declared against
reduction Of expenditures for the
care Of veterans. He approved the
policy ee Republican administra-
tiOns during the last seven years
in showing exoservice men the NJ
most liberality.
Mr.. Hoover's remarks to the dele
CATION were as follows:
Il believe all OF America recog-
nizes our national obligation to cur
veterans. The country today is pro-
viding pensions and compensation
TO S35,292 men and women, with
insurance and adjusted compensa-
ton to over four million more Tha
total expenditures OF the govern
ment in this direction now exceeds
$576,s43.000 annually, and repre-
sent the one important division OF
the government where the policy
has been justifably to increase
rather than to reduce expenditures.
This has also been the one impor-
tant division Of the government
where the drive for reduction OF
expenditures has been applied only
for economy in it's administration
not against the veterans. 1t is the
one division where large measure
of increased expenditure of the
government has taken place during
the past seven years. This is as It
should be. This government must
not be extravagant but 1t must be
Just. 1t has been so. and l should
wish It to continue"
