SAYS FALL RANCH
DEAL NOT ON BOOKS
Sinclair Employe Declares
Oil King Did Not Record
Transaction.
EY the Assnciated Press.

By the Associated Press
More evidence regarded as of high
value to the Government In the prose-
cution OF the oil conspiracy charge
against Harry r. Sinclair early next
month was adduced yesterday before
the Senate Teapot Dome committee.
II was furnished by Harold kenwell
cashier In Sinelair's New York office,
who disclosed that there we're no rec
ords on the wealthy oil operators
books showing either the $233,000 pay
ment To M 7. Everhart son-in-law OF
Albert b. Fall, or OF stock holdings In
the Tres Ritos ranch of the former
Interior Secretary
Falls contention has been that the
payment was one In an ordinary buSi~
ness transaction and could not be con-
sidered IN the nature Of Il bribe. The
transaction took place after the one
time cabinet officer had executed the
lease OF the Teapot Dome naval oil
reserve In wyoming To Sinclair'S
Mammoth OH Co.
Lasker Tells Of Gift.
Before calling kenwell TO the stand
the committee spent nearly an hour
questioning Albert D. Lasker of Chi
cago, former chairman OF the Shipping
Board, about his contributions 10 the
Republican party. 1t learned from him
that he gave $685. 900 to the late Fred
w. Upham, treasurer of the Republican
national committee. In October. 1870,
during the Harding campaign, no rec
ord OF which appears on the lists which
Upham turned over to his successor.
William v. Hodges OF Denver. Those
lists credited Lasker with a $4,000 con-
tribution in 1923 when the feveriSh
campaign was on to wipe out the party
debt before the next campaign, but
Lasker declared he had made no such
contribution.
Pressed by Senator Bratton, Demo-
erat, New Mexico. Kenweil conceded
that II the Fall-Sinelair bond transae-
tions took place and were In the or
dinary course OF business, some record
should have been made OF them before
this time as they had occurred five
years ago He could not recall any
large transactions which had been kept
