TEAPOT DOME.
PROVIDES 9TH.
CRIMINAL CASE
Stewart Is Charged With
Refusing to Tell Of Lib
erty Bonds
2 INDICTMENTS
Penalty for Conviction May
Be Both Fine and I'm
prisOnment in Jail

WASHINGTON March P)-The
ninth pending criminal action grow
ing out of the senate's investigation
of the Teapot Dome-E,lk Hills leases
was written in federal court dockets
today when Robert w. Stewart, chair
man of the board of Standard Oil of
Indiana, was indicted for refusing to
answer questions asked by the Tea
pot Dome committee.
Stewart was charged by the grand
jury with having refused to answer
questions concerning the disposition
of liberty bond Oil profits of Cont
mental Trading Co. The committee,
seeking to trace $S,O8O,OOO of the
profits some of which reached former
Secretary Fab in $233,000 payment
from Harry F.. Sinclair, asked Stew
art if he knew anyone who received
any of the bonds and if he had dis
cussed the bond transactions with Sin
clair.
The Standard Oil man refused to
answer the two questions on two diff
ferent occasions and was indicted on
one count for each refusal.
He was first called before the COM
mittee February 2 and after declining
to answer was recalled the next day
and again refused to answer the
same questions. He based his re-
flsal upon the grounds that the ques-
tions were not pertinent to legisla-
ton and that the committee was
without jurisdiction to make the in
vestigation.
After his second refusal Stewart
was arrested by the senate to be
taken before the bar of the senate
where it was planned to again put to
him the two questions Before this
could be done he obtained his re-
lease on a. temporary writ of habeas
corpus but ten days later was re-
manded to custody of the senate
when the writ was vacated. He re-
gained his freedom by appealing from
the decision.
Stewart was indicted for violating
section 1O2 of the criminal statutes
which provides that refusal of duly
Subpoenaed witness to answer perth
nent questions before senate COM
mittee is misdemeanor The pen
atty for conviction under the statute
is a fine of not less than 500 or
more than $1,000 and imprisonment
of not less than month or more
than IL months.
After the Indictment was returned
District Attorney Gordon announced
that warrant for Stewards arrest
would be mailed to Chicago where he
would be notified to appear at the
U. S. marshaps office to accept serv-
ice.

plea has crossed with tho demo- cratic advocacy of 2 modification oi the dry laws. Many thousands oi these workers are of foreign extrac- tion. and opposed to prohibition Many of them are Catholics. Among them. the Smith supporters hope to pile up majorities which the dry town and country precincts. where the democrats expect some defec- tions on both prohibition and re- lision. cannot overcome.
 Boston is looked upon as the great Smith treasure chest of votes. but the other industrial cities of the state are expected to help ma terially. Az . matter of fact. when they talk for publication. the demo- crats now claim every city in the state. including republican Worces- ter and Springfield. The republi- cans pronounce these claims ridicu- lous. although they are prepared to see an enormous outp0uring of Smith strength in Boston. Party leaders dispute the effect of the very great increase in this years registration, which added to the vot- ers' lists in every county in the state. The increase in Boston was more than 5o.000.

What Doctors Say
About the Laxative Habit

What do YOU do when he bowels need a little assistance? If you clear up the condition with some laxative made with CASCARA. there is nothing better for the system for the blood.
 But if you don't KNOW the laxa- tive you have learned to depend on is of harmless cascara, here's some truly valuable advice:
 The bark of a tree called cascara is the most marvellous conditioner mankind has yet found. It stimu- lates the bowels muscular action but does NOT weaken. A violent laxative forms the laxative HABIT You always need more on the nor row. With cascara, you don't. Its gentle influence carries on some times for days. With less and less need Of any aid. as time goes on.

support of Smith. One important group about which this speculation centers is that made U. of French Canadian Catholics. Throughout New England. there has been a mo- ticeable lack of utilization between the French and Irish Catholics. Trouble between them in Rhode Is- land resulted some years ago in . public controversy of large propor- tions. The French Catholics have been traditionally republican. just as the Irish Catholics have besn traditionally democratic. This time democratic leaders say many of the French will vote for Smith. but the republicans declare the number will not be great enough to have an ap- preciable effect.
 Political workers have not found it easy to trace out the effects of all of the racial and religious influences which have come into the under- currents of politics this year in Massa c chusetts. Which makes 1t more than ordinarily difficult to predict precisely what the state will do at the ballot box week from today.

have supported him. to vote also for Smith. Like Smith. he always has received his greatest support from the larger cities. with their foreign colonies. their industrial colonies, and their wet sentiment. The whole coterie of rish-American leaders who are the officials of the demo- cratic party in the state have thrown themselves into the fight for the na- tional ticket with a fiery determina- ton. ..,...
 On the basis of the record. the great consolation of the republicans lies in the regularity with which the state has persisted in voting the re- publican ticket nationally. Cleveland could not break that regularity. and although Wilson did get the elec- toral vote in the three-way split of 1912. it was by minority vote. Four years ago, Massachusetts gave Cool idge, her favorite son. two and . half times as many votes as she gave his democrat opponent. The vote then was 7o3 g for Coolidge. 2So.- SS4 for Davis. and 14l.e25 for La Toilette.
 There is a particular reason why state is far more than a matter of form. The republican organization is vastly proud of it's traditions. and of the old New England stock which went into their making. It is proud of the protective tariff. It Is proud of the fact that Massachusetts man now sits in the White House. It does not even like to think of the possibility that political domination might pass over to the leaders of the democratic party. and the state of Hoar and Crane and Lodge cast it's vote for democrat to succeed Calvin Coolidge.
 Much has been made of these things in the republican campaign. In particular. much has been made of the tariff and Coolidge prosper. ity," MT. Hoover himself made these topics the theme of his address when he visited Boston. Gov. smith. speaking here later. chal- lenged the validity of this argu- ment, and the democratic speakers generally have been telling the vot- CTS that the recent situation in the Massac achusetts textile industry does not support a claim of prosperity. The republicans are keeping to the issue, however declaring that what ever depression the industry may have suffered is nothing compared to what would happen to 1t under the democrats.
 Among the textile workers, in par. ticular, the republican prosperity
