IN
LIVERPOOL FOR
TEEPLECHASE

LIVERPOOL, England. March % tA1
Howard Bruce's Billy Barton, wheth-
er he wins or loses tomorrow, in the
historic grand national steeplechaSe, is
responsible for bringing the largest
number of enthusiastic Americans to
Liverpool since the war days when
the doughboys swarmed off the SUBJ
marine-defy transports into this
old town.
The fact that Stephen Sanford S
bright boy is one of the favorites, and
also that a record number of horses
owned by Americans is entered for the
worlds greatest SteeplechaSe, has done
much, too, in swelling of ranks of
Americans who have crossed the At
lantic or have come from the conti-
nent eager to be on hand in the
event that Americans really make a
killing
1t was estimated that there were
more than 300 Americans in Liver
pool tonight and more coming to-
morrow morning by special train, air.
planes and automobiles.
Despite the absence Of King George
for tomorrow's classic, there were in
dications that the crowd will be the
largest which ever paid admission to
witness race in England
Although not exactly a betting fav-
orite-the odds against him were 20

King Amanullah of Afghanistan and
Queen Souriya, also will witness to-
morrow's race. They arrived today
and were officially welcomed by Miss
Margaret Beavan, Liverpool's dininu-
tive lord mayor.
One OF the features of tomorrow

the transatlantic telephone will be

''that the wholesale influencinG OF
federal officials, including cabinet
Officers and their important assist
ants, by private oil interests, was
in full bloom under the Wilson aa-
ministration and that the exhaus-
.tion Of the nations and the navy's
supply of oil was already we'll un-
der way due to the democratic acts
of both legislation and administra-
tion.''
Senator Walsh sought twice to
interrupt Robinson in an effort to
correct some of his statements, but
the Indianan deemed to yield, ex-
planning that he wanted to marshal
s-is facts from the record in an or
derly manner so as to make his
case Mt
After reviewing the leases both
in the naval reserves and immedi-
ately adjacent to them, Robinson
charged that Doheny had paid var
ious former democratic officials at
the rate Of $1,000 day and IN adj
dition had given contribution of
SIS, 900 to the democratic party in
the 1920 campaign.
Here's a problem in higher MAJ
thematics, just how much does it
take to corrupt a democratic ad
ministration?" Robinson demanded.
Another inquiry which the In
dianan threw out was that whether
William G.. McAdoo was using the
residue" of the S250,000 in coun-
sci fees he obtained from Doheny's
companies to finance the presidea-
tial campaign Of Senator Walsh, In
that connection, he said McAdoo
was the head of the Walsh delegate
slate in California.
During his reply, Walsh made no
reference to this inquiry, but said the
testimony was that McAdoo was paid
$15O,OOO and not $250.000 by Doheny's
companies after heSeft the cabinet and
that the testimony Of George White,
former chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee, was that instead Of
giving $4,000 to the democratic party,
Doheny gave only $4,000, of which
$4,000 was donated after the 1920
presidential campaign.
The Montanan also emphasized that
at that time there was no stain on
Dcheny's, reputation. p
When called to account by Senator
Glass, who showed that his anger was
thoroughly aroused, Robinson coun-
tered that it apparently was all right
for democrats to asSail dead republi-
cans but that when the republicans
undertook to speak about democratic
officials of the past there was q
furore
He said the democrats had ever
opened the tomb Of the dead president
Warren G,s Harding, as well as those
of John w. Weeks, former secretary
of war, and Fred w Uphana, one time
treasurer of the republican national
committee.

ton but added that frequently in
cases of illness such as the former
cabinet officer is suffering from, any
excitement was harmful. The ply
sician planned to examine Fall to-
night and said he would then decide
whether night session was possible.
Fall, said the counsel was cheerful
during the examination and seemed
anxious to reach the point where he
could tell the story of the leasing OF
Teapot Dome This story, however,
viii not become public until the de-
position is called in court.
Thompson, Falls Ell Paso counsel,
who with Leahy represented the for
mer interior secretary ct the trial OF
the cese last Octoner, has been sub
poenaed by the government as a wit
ness in the case against Sinclair.
Thompson was at one time secretary
of the Tres Ritos Cattle and Land
company and was subpoenaed as such.
DR.. Stafford decided that Fall could
undergo 80 minutes more of examina-
ton tonight and the defense counsel
continued their examination regarding
the early leasing of oil lands as pro-
vided by the 1920 law. This trend
was expected to show that leasing of
oil lands to individuals was inaugur-
ated before Fall became secretary OF
the interior and before that depart
ment had charge of the naval lands.
Pomerene said that he found Fall
in better physical condition than he
expected and that the former Secre-
tary appeared to be standing up well
under the questioning. Fell slept
from shortly after five o'clock. until
seven when his physician called to
see whether he was able to withstand
the night session.
Fall was SO exhausted after As

sent his patient to bed He expected,
however, that he would be strong

and the writing, he said, had been
called similar to that of man
alleged to have been connected with
dynanitings of the Los Angeles aque-
duct in Inyo county. The deputy
testified he had been unable to find
any particular significance in the
paper, explaining that it might have
been anyone's work, and that it was
found in Hollywood. a sIgl-l unity
long distance from the damsite.
The inquest was adjourned late
today until Monday TO await the
completion OF a report being prepared
by the district attorneys committee
of three experts, which then will be
submitted to the jury.
"This report" said Coroner Frank
Nance, sis the most important bit
of evidence in the case
The real undermining Of st. Francis
dam, L. e. Johnson, consulting
OF a huge block of conglomerate, 16
strata beneath the west wing of the
dam. ~
With charts and drawing ne showed
the jurors how red clay conglomerate
in the west canyon wall had been
cracked in many directions, allowing
filtration of water from the lake
behind the damn He testified a
number of seepages through the
strata resulted; that body OF schist
gradually erCded; and that this was
followed by the great block pf con-
Clolnerate weakening.
The geologist said the Seepage was
continuous from the time the dam
reservoir was first filled until the
canyon wall weakened enough to let
the great concrete structure down and
away under the water pressure.
Allen E. Sedgwick, University OF
Southern California geclogist, previ-
ously told the jury the western end
of the dam had srested on schist
and conglomerate which had been
disintegrated by years OF weathering.
He also mad testified rna6 through
this disintegrated formation the water
had penetrated, soaking the entire
hill beneath the west end OF the
dam.
A recent slight movement Of the
schist, which would have contributed
to the collapse of the concrete, was
reported by SedgWick to have been
discovered in his investigation. He
declared that such a formation as
he found in the west canyon wall
under st. Francis dam would not
sustain great leads" He gave this
as his reason for his emphatic mo
to the question OF whether or not
he would be s9tisfied to build a
heavy structure on the spoc~

ENGINEER OF the dam, who before the
Jury has announced his willingness
to shoulder any human responsibility
