OIL COMMITTEE
TO PROBE INTO.
DEMOCRAT FUND.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 (P-In an
effort to determine the source of
some 100000 which was used to pay
off in part the deficit OF the demo-
cratic party following the presidential
campaign of 1920, the senate Teapot
Dome committee is planning to sum-
mon prominent members of the party.
Explaining the situation, Senator
Nye, republican, North Dakota, said
tonight that at the close or the
campaign, the democratic party was
known to have had a deficit of
approximately 100000, but that this
amount had in 1924 been reduced to
100000. There has been no public
record, he added, of the source OF
the remaining $4OO,O0O
It was recalled that in 1928, Harry
F. Sinclair, wealthy oil operator and
central figure in the Teapot Dome
naval oil reserve Investigations. testi-
fled that he had contributed year
previous to the campaign funds OF
both parties. In this connection,
Senator Nye said the committee be-
lieyed that if this oil money went
to one party it was "Quite apt to
have gone to the other, too,
just who will be called, he said
has not yet been determined.

SENATE FLOOD
COMMIT TEE TO
QUERY HOOVE Err

WASHINGTON Feb 13 GA de-
mand that Secretary Hoover of the
commerce department appear before
the senate flood committee will be
made tomorrow by Senator Hawes,
democrat. Missouri, when the COM
mittee meets in executive session to
start preparation of its flood control
legislation.
Chairman Reid OF the mouse flood
control committee was called to the
White House today, but declined to
state what the trend of discussion
with the president was He is of
the opinion however, that the house
bill, which is expected TO provide Tor
full federal government payment OF
the cost of flood control, will be
reported cut within ten days Chair
man Jones of the senate committee
is desirous oil finishing the work
OF preparing the senate bill within

senator steadfastly has opJected to
calling Secretary Hoover peyore the
committee, because he thinks 1t is
not fair to require one member of
the cabinet TO discuss matters under

Hawes, however, maintains that
Hoover inspected the flood area as
the personal representative of the
president and as such should be
asked TO testify.

dent looks at the flood situation

Discussion ON ratification followed
and DR.. Pueyrredon made known mis-
views again and the ideals he had in
mind He drew attention to one of the
IA points" of President Wilson calling
for abolition of tariff walls. After
paying tribute to the late president he
contended that ii that principle were
good for the world how much more
necessary fer the fraternity of nations
Finally he affirmed that he could not
sign a convention against his own con-
Viction.
Mr. Hughes pointed out that all the
countries we're opposed to Argentine in
this matter because it affected tha
sovereign rights of nations. The right
to protect the people Of a country in
deciding What duties sha al be imposed,
what export taxes shall be levied, he
argued, was the very essence of SOW
ereignty Such matters devolved up
on the legislatures of the respective
countries and therefore economic prob
lens should not be introduced into
the preamble Of the American
union for that would bring the union
into conflict with legislatures.
1T was to save the American
union for the good it can do" said
Hughes, mot to prevent it from deal
ing with subjects which would de-
stroy it, that the Argentine cllairman's
motion was opposed"
Rafael Urbina of Mexico also offered
opposition to the Pueyrredon proposal
because while he argued that the
fundamental economic problems of tho
American peoples must be studied If
real Pan-American progress is to be
made. Argentine's suggestion in his
opinion, was too specific and not gen.
eral enough. He suggested that con-
ference be called for all the American
countries to discuss all economic prob
lens at which conference the subject
should be broached with greater hope
Of success. Now, however, he thought
it impossible to agree to the Puey-
rredon proposal without full study OF
its effects.

With typical Lindbergh modesty the

believed would accrue to aviation as
the result of his latest flight. Asked
TO comment on what he believed would
be the result Of his peaceful mission
as an ambassador of the air to pro-
mote friendly relations among the

the prosecution by Walsh of the in

tinental Trading company of Canada.
/ Reviewing the amendments made TO
his resolution by the interstate COM
merce committee Senator Walsh said
he would ask for a. separate vote on
the cne limiting the inquiry into cam
paign contributions by tho utilities 10
those made in presidential and con-
gressional campaigns
The author Of the resolution de-
clared the primary purpose was to as
certain what influence, if any, the
utilities WELD over state and municipal
regulatory bodies and y, ad
the resolution amended so that such
an inquiry should be made Senator
George agreed tlIath this should be
done.
Adverting to the hearings before the
committee on the resolution, Senator
Walsh gave in detail the interests rep
resented there, including state COM
missions, the joint utilities commit
tee, investment bankers, and the Ma
tional Association OF Manufacturers.
There was one James A. Emery,
employe and co-worker of the infa-
nous Mulhall whose infamies were
disclosed in 1913 largely through the
sagacity and ability of the senator
from Missouri, Mr. Reed, Walsh said.
The Montanan declared that the
power lobby had come here even
before the senate met; established
luxurious headquarters and obtained
the services Of those skilled in having
legislation passed or defeated He
added that the newspapers gave the
information that Josiah T Newcombe
headed the lobby with c. A. NBeasly as
assistant, both of whom he said are
associated with the Alabama Power
company.
Senator Walsh took the position the
federal trade commission had no pow
er to make the investigation because of
a rider to an appropriation bill pre-
venting the use Of its funds for the
conduct OF Investigations ordered by a
e.ngle branch Of congress.
Besides challenging the power of the
co,nniesiol to make the inquiry Sen
atcr Walsh assailed some of its mem
bars. He called attention that Abram
r. Myers work as an assistant attor-
rev general in the Ward Baking dis
{ solution case hed been the subject of
/ ingulry by a senate judiciary sub
committee and was dealt with in re-
ports now. before the Judiciary COM
mittee.
The Montanan also attacked Will
liam F. Humphreys, chairman of the
commission In that connection he
said he w2s surprised that the sug-
gestion for a commission inquiry
should have come from the democratic
/ side Of the chamber.
Senator Glass democrat, Virginia
said he would vote TO abolish the fed
eral trade commission because Humph-
reys is a member of it.
II have known Humphreys for sc
years" Glass said. II served in the
house with him. and because ] know
him I would vote to abolish the COM

tip of Florida, where fog and mist be-
gan to obscure his vision. After reach

and to declare a naval policy. This
declaration was made at the Black
Hills, South Dakota, shortly after the
Geneva conference. We declared that
we would proceed to build up the fleet
in accordance with our needs and in
accordance with plans which we evolv-
cd before the Geneva conference. and
the failure of the conference would
not cause us to depart from that pro-
gram
THE fundamental reason that the
present program is large is that we
have not been building ships of the
type and of the quantity needed dur
ing the period in which we hoped
for a supplemental treaty limiting
armament of this type Of ship. We
did not again desire to scrap new
ships. We proposed to wait until
the limit was fixed and then build
up to that limit instead of repeating
what we did in the Washington agree
ment-e gree upon a limit and scrap
down to that limit"
zone of the reasons for proposing
this program at this time is because
we want to get behind us the build
ing of these necessary attxinaries be-
fore we are confronted with problems
of replacement of battleships and cap
ital ships in accordance with the
terms of the Washington treaty for
the limitation of naval armaments.

The former provisional president of
Mexico related how he had been
forced to flee from Mexico, when
he opposed the alleged anti American
policy of the administration
In graphic Spanish phrases trans
! lated by an official court reporter
interpreter, he told of the causes
leading up to his break with Presi-
dent Gales. For many years, he said,
he and the present Mexican president
were warm friends with interests in
common.
But there came time when /
could no longer hold with the conduct
and policy of the administration, .
he declared. President Gales, it was
apparent to me, had assumed an
anti American attitude. Things
reached the state that they became
intoleranle to me because of my
ideals and friendship for the United
States and / bitterly opposed the
policy and was forced to leave the
country to save my life"
He told OF scores of conversations
with United States government Off
cialS in which he kept them In

border.
Both De La Huerta and his secre-
t9ry, GayOu, declared that they knew
that "a terrible situation" would re-
suit if the rebelling Yaquis succeeded
in capturing the city of Nogales,
Sonora.
The relationship of De La Huerta,
as resident of Los Angeles, to the
revolutionary movement in Mexico
was one of the most peculiar to
involve a political exile from that
country.
Shortly after the insurrection gain
ed headway in widely scattered sec
tionS of the southern republic, leaders
of various units sent notification 10
De La Huerta that he mad been
proclaimed their leader
The former provisional president
acquainted federal secret service
operatives with his position and in
formed them that he was taking no
part whatsoever in the upr1sings.
From then OH until the revolution
died out several months ago, COM
municatiOnS were sent DE La Huerta
at frequent intervals by divers
methods informing him Of the prog
ress of the various rebel movements.
Communications were received by
messengers who secreted the dispatch
eS, written on small silk handker-
chiefs, in their mouths
AT one time, according to the
messages received by De La HUerta,
nearly 10000 men were IN arms in
a dozen states and all rebelling with
the avowed purpose OF relnstating
the exiled leader as the repu5lic's
executive head.
The bulky dispatch files of De la
Huerta we're open at all times to
government officials and he inform
ed them in advance when he went
to the border. His arrest came as a
surprise to his friends here, who we're
aware Of his declared inactivity in
connection with the rebellion.
He was taken in custody at Nogales

eral other Mexicans.
