Hotel last night soon after the Senate,
with dramatic swiftnesS, ordered it by
adopting a resolution presented by SEN
ator Walsh, Democrat. Montana, pros
ecutor of the renewed oil inquiry by the
lands committee.
Promptly then, David S. Barry. the
sergeant-at-arinS. and his deputy. John
McCirain, went to Stewards hotel. Be-
hind locked doors they took the oil man
into custody It was over in few min
utes. Barry emerged. but McGrain
stayed in the room. as Is customary in
such cases when immediate transfer to
a Jail is not made.
The arrest and Senate action capped
a tense day before the oil committee.
where Stewart, with renewed flashes of
temper and jocularity. persisted in his
decllnation TO relate his knowledge Of
Liberty bond transactions Of the COnti-
mental Co, which already in testimony
have involved payments by Harry F.
Sinclair. Teapot Dome lessee, to Albert
B. Fall. former Interior Secretary.
Silent Under Hammering.
He based his refusal on the ground
that the case is at issue in the courts
and that his testimony should be given
before a Jury. No amount Of hammer
Ing by committee members could shake
his determination to remain silent. He
talked freely about all phases of the
inquiry except that concerning the dis
position made Of the companys profits
from its contract to buy oil from the
fields Of the late L. A. Humphreys of
Denver and sell il TO the Standard and
other companies in some of which SIM
clair is interested.
The arrest of Stewart offers a par
allei with the case of Sinclair. who ike
wise was held in contempt of the Sem
ate FOR refusal to testify. In the SIM
clair case. however the Senate turned
his case over 10 the District of Colum-
bla courts. and he now is under a three
month sentence. Senator Walsh desired
that this time the Senate itself SEN
tence Stewart, because it offered quicker
action.
Having thus surrendered Stewart to
the custody of the Senate. the oil in
vestigating committee turned today to
other witnesses.

4 Boston Reporter Adds New Verse To
 Old, Old Fauorite

BOSTON, Nov, 20, (P)-Since the visit of Governor Smith people here laughed over a new twist to an old rhyme. The old one, jest at the exclusive Back Bay families, was:
 Here's to the City of Boston
 Home of the bean and the cod;
 Where I.oWells speak only to Cabots.
 And Cabots speak only to God.
 But now the Back Bay families, once solidly Republicans, are split and many did support Smith. In fact, prominent ones joined in the big demonstration for him. So H. A Getchell, in the Herald, puts it this way:
 Alas. for the City of Boston
 Her exclusivenecs now is myth,
 The LoWells are walking with Hoover,
 The Cabots are strolling with Smith.

FAMOUS TRIP WAS
 YEAR AGO SUNDAY
lndy Hoped Of From New
 York on May 20

New York. May 19 P>-One veal ago tomorrow Charles A. Lindbergf took off from New York on non stop flight to Paris.
 The story of that odyssey is his tory, known now 10 every school boy.
 Yet in distance covered - s,eos miles in S31 hours-although it |. still the longest nonstop flight evel made by & single aviator. it ranks among the smaller items in an amazing total of 50.o00 miles flown by the Lone Eagle in the last twelvemonth.
 Lindbergh has spent the year fly ing at an average rate of 14O miles a day. and most of his mileage has been rolled up in behalf of aviation and international goodwill.
 Almost half the distance flown by Lindbergh since he set out on the adventure which has its first anniversary tomorrow was covered in the three-month countrywide air tour which he began last July 19- a tour which carried him for cc,350 miles, to every state in the nation and to S2 cities, in 2so flying hours and with but a single delay. oco- stoned by an impossible fog in Maine.
 Second in magnitude was his goodwill tour of Latin-American re- 'publics in January and February of this year, in the course of which he covered 5,735 miles and visited 13 countries in Central and South America.
 The New York Paris flight of 3,625 miles ranks third, ahead of his Washington Mexico City flight in December, 1927, nonstop jump of c.015 miles on the first leg of his Pan-American tour. Next is his 1,200-mile nonstop hop from Ha- vana to St. Louis at the conclusion of his goodwill tour.
 These flights account for s4,925 miles. The rest of the 50,000 was covered in flights from New York 10 san DieEO to receive the ne" plane which has succeeded his Spirit of St. Louis; from New York to Quebec and back on an urgent errand with serum for Floyd Ben- nett; from St. Louis to Washing tin in the farewell trip of the fla nous Spirit. which he turned over to the Smithsonian Institution for it's permanent exhibit of noted air. craft; and between New York. Washington, St. Louis. Detroit and other cities on business and recrea- tional trips.
 All these flights have been made without any pretense by the young aviator to . knowledge of naviga- ton, but the colonel is now master ing, under the tutelage of naval that science of the air.
