"It started with the idea of Harry
Sinclair that he wanted a big ranch
in the southwest" he said. "A good
many of his New York friends had
such establishments and he was
anxious fer one Sinclair wanted a
place with plenty of room, where
there would be opportunity for hunt
ing and fishing. The climate of New
Mexico made a great impression on
him. Also he is sportsman greatly
interested in horses and he had the
idea that on such ranch Arabian
and other pure bred norses could
be bred.''
"I didn't know about that" Fall
commented with a smile. II have
been a cattleman and that is what
I was interested in But that was
Sinclair's plan. He visited me at
my ranch at Three Rivers. He liked
the place and TIE country. ne talked
things over with me in general
way, but all his business dealings were
with Mr.. Everhart, who has handled
the business of the ranch for II
years. He had the power OF attorney,
and I did not know any of the
details"
"There is nothing to conceal about
the Sinclair purchase. 1t was entirely
personal business and did not con-
Germ the public in any way That Is
the only reason little has been said of
it. There was nothing secret about
the use which was made of the liberty
bonds and cash. I had borrowed
100000 from Mr.. Doheny for improve
ments on the ranch. There was moth

clair, the money to be used in paying
off the indebtedness of the Tres Ritos
Land and Cattle Co.
In the picture was scheme by
which, part of Tres Ritos would be
converted into a hunting and riding
club and it appeared to Everhart
that Sinclair's interest in one-third
of the newly organized ranch company
was on account of the prospective
organization of the club, which, how
ever, never has materialized.
The 100 shares of the stock of the
old Tres Ritos company, held so
shares by FALL one share by Everhart
in his own right and 49 shares as
trustee for his wife's estate, were
exchanged for 100 shares of stock in
the new company. Evertart said
this stock was divided 33 shares to
himself, 33 shares to him as trustee
for Sinclair and 33 shares to Fall with
one share to an employe of the COM
pany so he might qualify as a director.
Sinclair's payments, Everhart said,
we're made in Washington and in
New York and were in liberty bonds.
The deal finally was consummated IN
Falls office in the interior depart
ment and then Sinclair and Everhart
went to the oil operators private car
where $4,000 in liberty bonds were
paid over.
Fverhart said he delivered these
bonds to Fall, who took $2,500 worth,
and gave him the remainder, instruct
ing him to proceed then to New York
to collect the balance due OF $4,000.
This he did, he added, Sinclair hand

"Did YOU take the bonds to Pueblo?"
inquired Senator Walsh, OF Montana,

Walsh, Everhart said that when he
went to New York in May, 1922, to get
the $4,000 in liberty bonds, he paid
Sinclair $1,1O0 for cattle and hogs
shipped to Tres Ritos and he, acting
under his father -in-law's instructions,
took up with Sinclair the matter OF
making loans to the ranch company,
"at low interest. rates"
"How did Sinclair receive that sug-

the reply.

to reach the verdict there is merit IN
making an exception concerning the
debt held against her and that there
is really a wide margin between pres
ent charges and actual legitimate obli-
cation due from France. Our exports
of grain and raw materials are still
less than the pre-war figures. There
is vital condition that must be
remedied and that remedy can be
greatly facilitated by a careful ad-
justment of the war obligations
"There is no doubt in my mind that
the only hope the Swing Johnson bill
has to be enacted into law rests on
the one fact that there is merit in
protecting human life from flood wat
ers and that there is an actual and not
a mythical danger overhanging the
people of the Imperial valley. How
ever, did not visit Washington dur
ing this last trip and I have no spe-
cial information as to the probable
outcome of that bill at the present
session I have been, as no doubt
many of our people have been, reading
something of the hearings on the bill
and there was nothing particularly
akin to pride that came to me when l
read the story telling of the governor
of Arizona's appearance before the
committee"
Mr.. Douglas remarked that as to the
situation in industry generally re-
ports indicated the automobile manu-.
facturers were keeping busy and ap-
parently finding sale for their out
MT and that other things in the gen.
eral picture of industry over the coun-
try gave no immediate cause for worry
Most people appreciate the fact that
our apparent prosperity is due to the
over slosh of money from our war
profits, he said, and even though this
is the opening of a year which will
be marked by a presidential campaign,
he said that he felt there was no cause
for worry. With the other things go
ing forward in their, normal manner,
Arizona ought to have a reasonably
good year during 1928.

HOWARD
ADDRESSES PEOPLE
WRANGELL DISTRICT
Says He Is Ready to Cooperate to
the Fullest Extent in Anything
That Has for its Object the Up
building and Development of
The Territory of Alaska.

Senator BARLEY Howard. candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for Delegate to Congress, spoke for
Is minutes at the starland Theatre
Wednesday evening. In that limit
ed time he said he could touch only
briefly on the issue of the cam
paign.
In his opening remarks Senator
Howard said that he was present to
talk in his own behalf without
singing mud at his opponent. He
declared that Alaska is a big coun-
try with big problems and that
their only solution lies in self gov
eminent. 1T has been charged that
I am opposed to home rule for Alas
ka, but this is absolutely false" he
declared. The charge, he pointedout
was based in his opposition in the
Territorial Senate to the Controller
Bill. He denied that this measure
in the form presented, would have
given the Territory home rule, and
affirmed that it would have saddled
the Territory with a political ma
chine highly Objectionable, and
added, Even it's supporters admit
that it would have created a politi-
cal machine"
He declared himself strongly in
favor of more industrial schools and
hospitals for the Natives of Alaska.
He pledged himself, if elected, to
do everything possible to get more
roads and trails throughout the
Territory. He said. " stand first,
last and all the time for anything
that will promote the legitimate
development of Alaska's resources"
He believed that more could be
accomplished for the welfare of AL
aska if its delegate acted as an
agent or medium cooperating be-
tween the Territory and the Wash
ington authorities. He said he had
supported the present delegate
gladly in all things in which he
considered him to be right, but that
he did not see that in the eight
years Sutherland had been in
Washington he had accomplished
anything that redounded very much
to his credit in the way of promot-
ing the development of Alaska. He
declared that after having travelled
all over the Territory he was more
convinced now than ever that a ma
jority of Alaskans believed that
change was needed in it's represen-
tatiye in Washington.
He assured his audience that if
he is sent to Washington he will
represent all Alaskans without re-
gard for faction or partisan poll
tics: their servant sent to the ma
tional capital to get things done for
them; and that he would in so far
as possible work in harmony with
the various departments of the gov
eminent having to do with Alaskas
affairs for tip Territory's benefit.

CENTER FIELD IS
GOOD ENTRY WAY
In BIG LEAGUES

NEW YORK, March 2S R-The
centerfield gate is proving a good
entry way for young baseball players
in the major leagues.
Fred Schultz, bought by the ST.
Louis Browns, at reported price
of 100000, and Lloyd Waner, who
cost the Pittsburgh Pirates only a
small amount for car fare, were the
sensational youngsters OF the Amer
lean and National leagues last year.
Schultz was incapacitated when he
came out second best in an encounter
with an outfield wall, but in the so
games he played he demonstrated
that he was worth whatever price
was paid for him. The junior Waner
went through the season at an anlaz-
ing clip, batting 1855, leading the
league in number OF one base hits
and tying with Rogers Hornsby for
the leadership in run scoring.
Now comes Eddie Morgan with a
promise to be the star OF the fresh
man class this year. Morgan will
play centerfield for the Cleveland
indians. not so well as did iris
Speaker, but well enough for a young
fellow who was born the year "Spoke"
started his baseball career as 4
member of the team OF the Fort
Worth Polytechnic institute.
Morgan, a college product, has had
only one year il. professional ball,
! but ne took full advantage OF his
opportunities at New Orleans to bat
1855, his attack running heavily to
extra bases He stole % bases
Morgan was a catcher at Tulane
university, but he was fast enough
to play great half back on the
Green football team and win ALL
conference recognition on the basket
ball quintet.
The new crop of outfielders is
unusually good this year. "Pid''
Purdy. who doubles in professional
football, has all but made his position
certain with the Cincinnati Reds and
John Leonard Martin, perhaps the
fastest runner in either league, has
made such an impression in the
Cardinal camp that regular st. Louis
as the Rabbit" dashes by.
Paul Easterling, an added starter
with the Detroit Tigers, has fought
his way into the inner circle and
will play many games.
Doug Taitt, ready to do his bit
for the Boston Red Sox, ii given a
chance, is a right fielder rather than
a centerfielder specialist, but that win
mean little to man who has SO
much pep that his Nashville manager,
! Jimmy Hamilton, declared he could
! beat the third baSeman to the bench.
Its great to be young and an
outfieIder.
