WASHINGTON, April 10.-Harry
F. Sinclair will rely on a Pacific
war scare" to aid him in acquittine
him Of conspiring to defraud the
Government Of Teapot Dome naval
oil reserve, his counsel indicated as
trial arguments opened today.
Albert B, Fall, then Secretary of
Interior, granted him the Teapot
Dome lease in 1922 at navy depart
ment suggestion after Admiral j. K.
Robson of the navy general board
said there was menace from the
East according to Sjnclaic's at
torney, Daniel Thew Wright.
Robson advocated storing up
huge supplies Of battleship fuel oil
for emergencies in which guns
might boom forth against an
oriental enemy" and he wanted a
pipeline from the Wyoming fields
to the East, Wright said.
Drove Hard Bargain
With this in mind, Wright de-
clared Fall granted the lease to
Sinclair, who built the pipe line.
Fall drove as hard bargain with
the oil magnate as he could, Wright
said, and at one time Sinclair
threatened to withdraw from the
deal because its terms were so strict.
The war scare" issue had been
raised previously, but actual evil
dence that such a menace existed
never has been presented.
Wright frankly admitted, on Sim
clair's behalf, that the oil man had
paid $233,00 to Fall shortly after
the Teapot Dome lease was signed,
but he said this money was to pay
for a third interest in Falls 100000
acre New Mexico ranch property.
Owen j. Roberts, Government at
torney, opened the argument by
declaring the $233OO0 payment the
most important item for the jury's
consideration He said the secrecy

money-all in Liberty bonds-indi-

NON-PARTISAN
TINCE is GIVEN
CITY COUNCIL
Majority FavOrS Manager
Idea Without Regard
to Party Lines.
BY ED O'NEEL

Revamping of the city council in
accordance with the joint civic COM
mittee recommendations has given
the council mon partisan tinge,"
in the opinion of city hall observ-
ers.
Meredith Nicholson, author, John
F. White, Federation of Community
Clubs president, and Albert F.
Meurer, real estate dealer, who were
recommended for the council berths
by the civic. bodies all are advocates
of city manager form of municipal
government.
Councilmen Robert f. Springsteen
and Edward B. Raub, ST., both ex-
pressed a desire to "go along" with
the city manager plan since the vot-
ers have adopted it, effective in 1880.
They we're opposed to the manager
form as a principle during the cam
paign.
Nom Partisan Council
The five councilmen who have
expressed their desire to give In
dianapolis a non-partiSan admins
tration form a majority in the
council, enabling them to carry out
the city manager idea of business
like government without regard for
party lines.
The City Manager League, Cham
Der of Commerce and Board of
Trade representatives held sub
committee meeting at noon today
to recommend successors to former
Councilmen Otis E. Bartholomew
and Claude E. Negley, who resigned
Monday. The general civic COM
mittee will meet at p. m. to APP
prove selection.
The council will meet Wednesday
at / p. m. to elect successors to
Bartholomew and Negley. 1t is
likely that Austin H. Todd. whose
resignation is effective April %,
will demand that it be read We'd
nesday. Councilmen o. Ray Albert
son is expected to resign the last
of the week.
One Stumbling Block
It is understood that the remain
ing new councilmen will be Repub-
licanS, the desire Of the Democrats
being that there be only four OF
their party in the council. The
council majority was Republican be-
fore it was revamped. Nicholson,
Raub. Springsteen and White are
Democrats.
Manager plan advocates are eX-
pected in the list Of candidates for
the remaining vacancies.
AS the many forces affecting the
council bribery situation are con-
verging into the expected climax of
pleas of guilty by the indicted coun-
cilmen to misdemeanor charge. one
large stumbling block looms today
to observers.
That is the use OF the word
bribery in the indictments.
The councilmen face trial under
the bribery statute, punishable by a
prison term of from two to fourteen
years. A municipal officers stat
ute covers 'misfeasance" and NAL
conduct" in office, and is a misde-
meanor, punishable only by fine.
The resignation of the indicted
councilmen have been in anticipa-
ton of pleading guilty to the mis-
demeanor charge and escaping with
fine.
Prosecutor William H. Remy has
announced that the councilmen
must be completely surrendered. y
admitting their guilt of bribery, and
that the word bribery will occur in
the malconduct and misfeasance in
dictments if such are returned by
the grand jury.

COUNTY BOARD
VETOES SHIFTS
IN PRECINCTS
Changes Would Have Aided
DodSOn Faction; Move
Claimed Illegal.

Precinct boundary changes Or
dered by the county commissioners
March 30, benefiting the Rodson
faction of the Republican party,
were vetoed late Monday by the
county election board
Formal action declaring the
changes illegal followed several
days Of argument over whether the
commissioners overstepped their
authority in ordering the reVisions.
They said they followed advice of
County Attorney Clinton Fl. Givan.
Change Aimed at Coffin
BY merging parts of precincts
where County Chairman George V.
Coffin had precinct committeeman,
the Dodson faction was believed to
have cut down his chance of hold
ing his majority in the county Re-
publican organization.
Members of the election board are
Ira M. Holmes and County Clerk
George o. Hutsell, Republicans, and
James E. Deery, Democrat.
Those seeking to file as precinct
committeeman in the precincts af-
fected by the proposed changes,
we're ordered to file in both the old
and new precincts, the last two days
of the filing period last week.
The veto was based on the opinion
that the repeal of the primary regis
tration law in 1927 also repealed 4
section providing for boundary
changes in the March term of COM
missioners court.
Old Law Effective
If this was repealed. it was held,
the law in effect before passage Of
the registration law, was applicable
and this provides for changes in
June.
Another point was that the law
provides for advertising the changes
in the precincts affected thirty days
before the primary election.
H. 1t was pointed out that the
changes may be legal for the gen
eral election in November, but then
the fight between the two factions
in the G. o, P. will not be on as it
is in the primary.

CANON HENRY FRAZER
Bishop Recognizes Social Service and
Temperance Work in Liverpool of
Rev. Henry Frazer

In recognition of his service In social
and temperance work in Liverpool Rev.
Henry Frazer, for q years vicar of ST.
Peters parish, has been named by the
Bishop of the diocese a canon of the new
cathedral at Liverpool, according to in
formation received by Rev. E. j. Rich
ardson of the World League Against Al
coholiSm.
"I hope prohibition is making good over
there and that the results will soon be
such as will convince a Skeptical world"
Canon Frazer writes.
As a clergyman In the Church of Eng
land for many years Canon Frazers work
lay in very difficult section of the city,
mainly among the working classes, where
he saw much of the ravages of drink. He
fearlessly took the side of sobriety and
righteousness, and both from the pulpit
and the public platform in his own city
and elsewhere made most intelligent and
vigorous attacks on the liquor trade.
Also, he went before the Bench of JUS
tice and protested against the granting of
licenses, thereby helping to reduce the
number of saloon permits. He always
seized every opportunity to check or de-
stroy the beverage liquor traffic. He was
highly esteemed by many officials of the
city government, including the Lord
Mayor, who presented him recently with
a book of remembrance.

Federal Grand Jury in Buffalo Brings in
Many Indictments IN Conspir-
acy Cases

The federal grand jury at Buffalo has
returned indictments against IS persons,
including a group of dry agents, charged
with the violation of the prohibition law.
Two of the more prominent persons
against whom indictments were brought

Leo A Regain, former assistant admins
TRAITOR These two are indicted on
charge of conspiracy to violate the law in
connection with the alleged diversion OF
alcohol from the Illinois Alcohol Com
pany of Buffalo.
More than 160 witnesses we're heard by
the grand jury, and its action has created
a great deal of interest in western New
York. Both Harper and Regain resigned
from the service on June &c. 1927. At that
time Harper gave as the reason for his
resignation his belief that he was dis
qualified under the newly created Civil
Service requirement.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 6.--Phila-
delphia's much heralded drastic pc.
lice shift became effective today.
The city's 1880 bluecoats were
given their orders at midnight In
the greatest shakeup in the history
of the city and at a. m. the
transfer was completed.
This move grew out of the special
grand jury's investigation OF crime
which revealed millions OF dollars
were paid in graft. Many blue
coats were on the protection pay:
rolls of bootleggers, racketeers and
other law violators. Six OF the
police captains questioned by the
jury were among the bluecoats
shifted.
Only house sergeants, inspectors
and patrol crews were not moved.
The feature of the shift was that
the various platoons were broken
up. No unit was transferred bodily.
Meanwhile the jury investigation
OF gangs, racketeers and corrupt
police which resulted in Mayor
Harry A.. Mackey's drastic step
goes on. The attaches of the Dis
trict attorneys office began going
over the evidence brought out this
week checking up on stray clues
as District Attorney John Monaghan
and the October jury and the
special jury rested over the week
end.
