We had precious treasure once,

The pride of mothers care.
But this dark world we roam
Was not for our Emma 50 fair
As we loved her. so we miss her;
In our memory she is always near,
Loved. remembered. lOnged for always.
Bringing many silent tear
Her dear little hands are gently folded.
Quiet now the little feet.
Brightest eyes are closed forever,
And gone the smiles that were so sweet.
Some told us time would heal the wound,
They did not know il all.
They told us the years would teach us
TO forget.
IL is not sO-nO one knows the grief we
bear for you we loved so dear.
BY her loving father and mother.

OIL BOND INQUIRY
Investigators Go to New
York to Trace Securities.
Witnesses on Hand.

By the Associated Press
Although a large number of witnesses
are IN prospect, the Senate Teapot
Dome committee probably will defer
until next week the resumption of its
public hearings in the effort TO trace
more OF the Liberty bond profits Of the
Continental Trading Co.
Some OF its investigators are in New
York today examining the records OF
brokerage houses In an effort 20 find
the numbers Of more than $1,000 600
worth Of the bonds, the trace Of which
has eluded the committee in It's now
two-month-old inquiry.
While members of the committee
were without official information On
the subject, reports were current AZ
the Capitol that John D. Rockefeller.
jr., had forced II. w. Blackrner, a miss
ing witness In the oil conspiracy case OF
Harry F. Sinclair, 10 resign as a di-
rector Of the Midwest Refining Co,
subsidiary of the Standard Oil Of In
diana, in which the Rockefeller inter-
ests have stock holdings
Blackmer shared in one-fourth OF
the profits OF the Continental Co. and
left for Paris after the oil scandal was
uncovered by the Senate committee in
1924 He resigned as chairman Of the
board Of the Midwest. but retained ais
position as a director. which carried no
salary.
Hyron X B.1ckmer, lr., testified re-
Gently before the committee that his
fathers resignation as chairman Of the
board had been rendered voluntarily
after he had decided 10 take up his resi-
dence abroad permanently. Young
Blackner recently resigned as treas
urer Of the Midwest.
