Teapot Dome Committee
Will Check Securities of
Late President
NOTHING
Chairman Announces Disbe-
lief in Finding Cont
mental Bonds There

WASHINGTON March 10 R-Be-
fore closing its inquiry into the dis
position of the liberty bond profits
Iof the Continental Trading company,
the senate Teapot Dome committee is
to investigate the records of the es-
tate of the late President Harding.
In making this announcement to-
day, Senator Nye, republican, North
Dakota, chairman of the committee,
said he did not believe that any of
the Continental bonds would be found
in the estate, but added:
There would be a lack OF salts
faction if this committe esubmltS a
report to the senate without it de-
terrnineS whether there were any
Continental bonds involved in the
estate of President Harding.
IF they are there we are going to
tell the world. If they are not there
we are going to tell the world.
don't think they are there"
Senator Nye said the present plan
was to send ain investigator to Marion
to check up on the securities which
may now be or may have been in the
Harding estate. He added that this
probably would not be done until
early next month, indicating that the
investigation is to be continued at
least for several weeks more.
President Harding signed the ex-
ecutive order under which Albert B.
FALL as interior secretary, took charge
of the naval Oil reserves which he
leased to Edward L. Doheny anu Har-
ry F.. Sinclair early in 1922. After
the government recovered the reserves
through court action this order was
rescinded by President Coolidge.
During the early days OF the SEN
ate oil investigation, the committee
inquired into tn esale of the Marion
(Ohio) Star by the late president
after there had been sensational re-
ports that some of the profits in the
oil deals had been represented in the
price paid for the paper. This was
vigorously denied by the purchasers
and there was no evidence TO support
the charges.
The summoning of new witness
was for the resumption OF the pubic
hearings of the committee Wednesday
also was announced today by Chair
man Nye. He is Merritt Baldwin, OF
Meriden, Conn, who, the investiga-
tors are informed, was pN1te secre-
tary to Sinclair from 1922 co 1924.
Besides Baldwin, the committee at
that time will hear Wilbur w. March
of Waterloo Iowa, lormer treasurer
of the democratic national committee,
who has denied evidence adduced
last week at Chicago that he suggest
ed to the late Fred w. Upham, then
treasurer OF the republican national
committee, that neither party make
report on campaign contributions for
1923. None was made as the law did
not require reports since there was
no campaign that year.

Lir1dbergh Awarded
Wilson Peace Prize,
$25, 900, and Medal.

NEW YORK, March 10 (P,-Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh tonight received
the Woodrow Wilson award, consist
ing of a medal and $4,000 for his
services for the cause of international
friendship" during his good will flight
to Central and South America.
The presentation was made at a
dinner OF the woodrow Wilson me-
mortal foundation. Col LindDergn
was the third recipient of the award,
which was given in 1924 to Viscount
Cecil of Chelwood for his services
to the league OF nations and in 1926
to Elihu Root for his part in the
inception of the permanent court OF
international justice or world court y
John w. Davis, former ambassador
to Great Britain, in an address ex-
planned that Lindbergh Mas selected
as recipient of the award, not as
a victorious soldier. nor as a sue
cessful diplomat or statenan, nor
as noted poet or orator, but as
'a mere Individual" who had "the
great fortune to serve peace in most
effective ways
The preservation of lasting inter-
national peace is as much a personal
as a national responsibility, Mr. Davis
said
Suggesting that the preservation OF
peace had been regarded as too
entirely the junction of governments
and officials, he said that Lindbergh
nas made international friendship q
personal thing, and proved II, his
flights to Paris and Latina -AmeriaN
that America is not a far-otc coun-
try, but near neighbor OF Europe,
that courage and high adventure
were still dear to the American neart;
that great risks would be taken and
great deeds done withoIC thought or
personal reward OF financial gain and
without boasting over the result"
DR.. Orestes Ferrara, VCuban am
bassador said that only Colonel Lind
bergh could have made the peoples
of the various countries that ne
visited SO fully conscious OF the fact
that nothing divides the Americas,
neither traditions, nor ideals, nor in
tereSts nor aspirations"
"By exposing his life under our
skies, almost always plac9l but at
times, like our souls, agitated and
stormy" Ambassador F'errara said,
Colonel Lindbergh proved to the
ready intuition OF the masses of the
people that the United States have
not shut themselves up with the
formidable tower OF their greatness. .

COODINC BILL IS

Act Would Prevent Higher
Freight for Short Than
Long HauIs

WASHINGTON March 10 R-The
Gooding bill, which seeks to prohibit
lower freight rates for long hauls than
for short ones, moved on to the Senate
calendar today after its approval by
the senate interstate commerce COM
mittee. When it comes up again it
will be for discussion on the floor
The measure is opposed by trans
continental railroad companies who
claim that it would cause rear
rangement of the freight structure and
would put railroads at disadvantage
in competing with water traffic
through the Panama canal. It's sup
porters, including senators from the
Rocky mountain states, claim that
present freight charges discriminate
against the inter-mountain territory.
The bill was passed by the senate at
the first session of the 69th congress
but failed in the house
Three members of the interstate
commerce committee voted against the
bill today. They were Fess of Ohio,
Sackett of Kentucky, and Metcalf OF
Rhode Island, republicans.

SUPREME COURT
OF U. S. DEFINES
PACKER ACTIVITY
Five Big Companies Must
COnfine Themselves to
Meat Packing

WAS HINGTON, March 10 tR-
Swift and company, Armour and COM
pany, Wilson and company, Inc, Nor
ris and company, and the Cudahy
Packing company composing the five
big packers. must hereafter confine
their activities strictly to the meat
packing industry, as they agreed to do
in consent decree entered Feb. 27,
1920, when the government began anti
trust lawsuits against them. That de-
cree was sustained today by the SUI
preme court.
The decision restores an Injunction
restraining them from monopolizing the
meat packing industry and from en-
gaging in other lines of business which
was suspended in May, 1925, pending
the outcome of proceedings started by
Swift and company, and Armour and
company to vacate the consent decree
In 1921 the Southern Wholesale
Growers association and the National
Wholesale Growers association were
permitted to intervene to oppose any
modification of the decree, and in
1922 the California Cooperative Can
neries were permitted to intervene for
the purpose of having the decree va
Gated.
The opinion handed down today by
Justice Brandeis, Justices Sutherland
and Stone not participating, to which
there was no dissent, held the decree
binding. IN meeting the technical OBJ
jections urged by the packers the court
broadly held that they were foreclosed
from attacking the decree because of
their consent.
1t pointed out that whatever sub
stance there might have been to the
numerous objections urged to the de-
cree there had been waived.
They denied that the government
had proved them guilty of any viola
ton of the antitrust laws, insisting
that the court had stipulated when
the decree was entered that it did not
constitute finding that the packers
had violated the law
After devious proceedings in the
lower courts here the case finally
reached the supreme court on ques-
tions certified by the district court Of
appeals for its guidance in reaching a
decision on the motion to vacate the
decree. After the case WAls fully
argued the supreme court decided to
take jurisdiction of the whole contro-
versy, ordered up all the papers and
reheard the case.

To Delay Sentence

TUCSON, Ariz., March 10 P-For
the first time in Arizona's history a

must hang.
Denied a motion for new trial,
Mrs. Eva Dugan, SO, convicted mur-
derer of her employer, A. j. Mathis,
aged rancher, more than a year ago,
was sentenced today to hang in the
Florence, Arizona, penitentiary on

Jinla county superior court pronounced
sentence.
A crowd, which filled the court room

judge told the gray haired woman
she must hang

this on February 25, by a jury de-
nberating less than two hours, the
woman was brought to Tucson today
to hear her sentence, which she knew,
because the verdict of the jury rec
commended death unless the motion
for a new trial was granted
Sentence was pronounced at 8 p. M,
after the court had heard Mrs Du-
gan'S attorney, Stanley Samuelson,
argue upon motions for a new trial,
and the examination of number OF
witnesses, including the convicted
woman herself, in support of his mo-
tions, all of which were denied by
Judge Jones.

Dugan declares committed the murder
of the aged recluse, proved to be a
dud in the form of plain postcard
mailed from Tulsa, Okla, to Mrs.
Dugan at Florence On the back,
scrawled in pencil was the message:
Well that was some little failure
wasn't it, lovingly, Jack"
The post card was introduced as
new evidence and ground for the
granting of a new trial, but the
county attorney, Louis r. Kenlpf, who
prosecuted the case, argued and was
upheld that the card was unSubStan-
tiated unsworn testimony and would
not be admissible as evidence even
if a new trial was granted.

stand by her attorney to identify the
post card and the handwriting upon it

GENEVA, Switzerland, March 19 tF)
Russia today appealed to the United
States to join it in forcing immediate
action on the soviet proposal for total
disarmament within four years. The
appeal was made before the prepara-.
tory committee Tor disarmament
conference by Maxim Litvinoff lead
of the Russian delegation.
M Litvinoff, after attacking the
methods being followed by the league
and demanding immediate public de-
bate on the Russian plan alluded to
the proposals of Secretary of State
Lellogg for the outlawry of war and
then added:
''The soviet delegation feels author
lied to count upon the support of the
delegation Of the government which is
intervening at the present moment
with a proposal to prohibit all wars.
THE sincerity of that proposition
could not be emphasized more per-
suasively than by adherence to the
soviet project for disarmament; not
only With view to moral prohibition
but to destruction of the possibility Of
making war.
"As armed forces exist for no other
purpose than to make war and as they
would be perfectly useless were it pro-
hibited, it would appear consistent and
logical if the goernment in question
our proposals"
The American delegates remained
silent during today'S discussion and
