MINERS ATTORNEY ATTACKS BIC
COAL OPERATORS IN COAL PROBE

vestigatiOn on Friday, along with
r. 3. Mellon, brother of Secre-
tary Mellon, as director for the
Pittsburgh Coal company.
Bittner brought new angle into
the investigation late in the day
with charges that personal inter-
est had prompted State Judge I.
G. LazeIIe, at MOrgantOwn, w. Va,
to deny petition in 1926 for an
injunction to require the Paisley
Coal company to operate under the
Baltimore agreement. He said
Secretary Hoover had advised him
that the agreement was binding,
but that Judge LazeIIe turned
down the request and sharply crit
icized the miners union.
Later, he said, it developed that
the judge was receiving as much as
100000 yearly royalty from land
leased by him to the Paisley in
terests. Bittner added that he had
sought to inaugurate impeachment
proceedings against the judge but
that they were never brought to
the attention of the state Iegis-
Iature.

DIPLOMATIC STRUGGLE IN EARLY
DAYS OF WORLD WAR REVEALED

WASHINGTON, March Fl tAl -
. The unsuccessful American diplO-
matte struggle in the early days of
the World war to define and pre-
serve neutral rights, as well as the
frustrated efforts to bar hOstilities
from China and the far east, are
disclosed in many of their phases
in papers relating to the 1914 for
eign relations of the United States
just made public by the state de-
partment.
Many questions of early war
days are here shown to the public
for the first time.
The menace to the friendly feel
ing of the American people for
Great Britain over the rights of
neutral commerce was brought to
the attention of the British gov
ernment by President Wilson, the
correspondence shows, who earn
eStly desired to avoid formal pro-
test and was anxious that every
cause of irritation and controversy
between the two countries should
be avoided.
The British cabinet discussed the
subject and Ambassador Page re-
ported the British were desirOuS to
meet American wishes, "As far as

MISSING TEAPOT
DOME WITNESS
Held AMEN ABLE
Justice Siddons Holds Walsh
Act in Blackmer Case,
Constitutional

WASHINGTON March 81 tP-Con-
Stitutionality of the Walsh act pro-
viding for the punishment of a
citizen who refuses to return from
abroad to testify in a criminal trial
was upheld today by Justice Frederick
L. Siddons in the District OF Columbia
supreme court in overruling a metapn
to dismiss contempt charges against
H. M. BlacKmer, of Denver, missing
Teapot Dome witness. In announcing
his ruling the justice held that Black
mer owed an allegiance to his country
which should have caused him to
obey its subpoena
Blackmer, former chairman of the
board of the Midwest Oil company,
was subpoenaed as government
witness in the trial of Harry F.
Sinclair and Albert B.. Fall, charged
with having conspired to defraud the
government in the lease of the Teapot
Dome naval oil reserve. The Gil man,
who, with Sinclair and others guar
anteed contract whereby the Con-
tinental Trading company purchased
SO, ,000,000 barrels OF Oil from the late
A. E. Humphreys, of Denver, was
wanted to tell what he knew of
liberty bond payments which the
government alleges Sinclair made to
Fall after the then secretary of the
interior had leased the reserve to
Sinclair.
1T appears clear" said Justice
Siddons, that the allegiance of a
citizen of the United States, though
actually living in foreign jurisdic-
ton, includes the duty of obedience
to the laws of the sovereignty to
which the allegiance is due. Indeed,
without such obedience allegiance
would be but an empty name"
When Blackmer failed to answer
the subpoena the government seized
100000 in liberty bonds belonging TO
him under provision of the law
that when any witness refused to
return from abroad to testify, the
government could Seize that much
of his property.
The government, said Justice Sid
dons' opinion, might not be able to
punish a citizen living abroad by
Imprisonment, but that it did not

MuIhoIIand Tells Coroner
Conditions Were Very
Bad Day Before
.ENVIES VICTIMS
Aged Engineer Dramatical-
ly Admits That Some
thing Overlooked

LOS ANGELES, March ri lP =
William Mulholland, chief engineer OF
the Los Angeles aqueduct system and
the st. Francis dam, testified before a
coroneriS jury today to cracks and
Seepage existent at the dam before it
burst, SpeWing a death dealing blow
into the peaceful Santa Clara river
valley.
That there was a crack in the west
end of the dam which had been filled
with oakum, was part of the testimony
of James Phillips. engineer employed in
building the dam, who said he had
inspected the structure some time be-
fore it broke. He also told the Jurors
who are hearing the evidence upon
which TO fix responsibility for the dis
aster that cost at least 300 lives, that
the seepage amounted to but 800 cubic
feet an hour.
Phillips declared that the west end
of the dam, which Mulholland had
testified he believed went out first, had
not sunk at all due to any softened
condition which has been intimated as
the cause of the break.
That the dam keeper reported mud
dy water Seeping through leak IL
hours before the dam burst, was other
testimony of the veteran engineer In
answer to questioning he said that
muddy waters would indicate "very
bad" condition. In quavering voice, at
times verging On a Sobbing breakdown,
the aged engineer at one point sor-
rowfully said: "We must have over
looked something" However, he de-
MED that he had any idea Of any dam
ger existing, and declared he would
have been the first to have warned
the canyon residents.
He said his own observation on that
final inspection of the dam had been
that the leakage waters were clear and
the mud was due to washing against a
cut bank of the river bed.
The dam always had been the
driest of the ones built by Mulholland,
or any that he had seen throughout
the country, he said.
He had kept close watch during
the construction Of the dam. 1T was
built" he said, 'for conservation. We
take water as the good Lord gives
it to us. Los Angeles, you know, is
unique Our people here take it for
granted that there will be water
in the faucets in the morning. 1t
is our job to see that they have the
water. Without reservoirs in this
country, we could not exist"

the most relentless war ever waged
will permit them" The question
was ended after considerable cor
respOndence when the United
States gave notice that 1t would
insist that the rights and duties Of
the United States and its citizens
be defined by the existing rules Of
international law and the treaties
of the United States irrespective
of the declaration of London.
The attempt to gain consent of
the belIigerent governments to not
engage in hOStilitieS either in
Chinese territory and marginal
waters or. in adjacent leased terri
tories was initiated by China and
had the support of the United
States. Correspondence between
the various capitals on the subject
shows that Great Britain and
Japan in accordance with the
terms of the Anglo Japanese al
lance, decided it was necessary to
take action to protect their gen.
eral interests.
The emperor of Japan cOnSe-
quently on August %, 1914, by inn
perial rescript. declared war on
Germany. bringing to an end the
attempt to exclude the far east
from the hOStilitieS.

ceived from the hands of President
Coolidge the highest recognition of

Attended by enthusiastic applause,

tinued, had mot only achieved the
greatest personal triumph of any
American citizen, but had shown that
transatlantic flying was possible"
A short while later, another honor
was added to the aviator'S u11rivalled
list, when Secretary Davis of the war
department presented Lindbergh with
special medal from the Ligue Aero
nautique of France Accompanying it
was bound record of the trans-At-

tee was present. At the other end of
the capitol, however, the public was
admitted, and the aviator spoke before
a large crowd.
He declared that the risks of the
army aviation officers make it neces.-
sary that the rewards be adequate in
order that a desirable type of men
might be attracted to the service. The
safety precautions of commercial fly
ing he said, must give way in military
aviation to military effectiveness.

Teapot Dome Committee
Informed Story Will Be
Held for Court
EXPECTS DEATH

WASHINGTON, March FL (AP)
Chairman Nye of the senate
Teapot Dome committee tonight
received telegram from former
Interior Secretary Albert b. Fall,
saying he would prefer to give his
testimony on the leasing of the
naval oil reserves in court rather
than before the committee.
Ell PASO, Texas, March 81 F-Al-
bert B. Fall former secretary Of the
interior and co-defendant with Harry
Sinclair, wealthy oil man, in the
Teapot Dome trial, stated tonight he
was perfectly willing to tell all he
knew about the Teapot Dome affair
at the proper time and in the proper
place.
III am willing to tell all know
about the Teapot Dome case and
everything connected with it at the
proper time, in the proper places un-
der the proper circumstances" Mr..
Fall said. He stated that he con-
sidered the proper place for such
testimony to be court Of law.
This statement was made by the
former secretary of the interior to-
night in reply to a query whether
he would be willing to testify before
"a subcommittee from the committee
of which Senator Nye is chairman.
This is the committee that is prob
ing the Teapot Dome lease.
Mr.. Fall declared Tuesday that he
is willing to give his deposition in
the Fall Sinclair case which is Sched-
,uled to reopen in Washington April
2. The former secretary made this
statement after government physicians
who had made physical examina-
ton of Mr., Fall at the request OF
the washington committee reported
that he would not be able to attend
the trial.
Interviewed tonight, Mr.. Fall reit-
Grated that he had nothing to con-
ceal in the Teapot Dome matter and
declared that he believed the only
proper way to tell the facts is by
deposition, 'in view of the fact that
I am co-defendant with Mr.. Sin
clair in a case now pending in a
high court" he said
Mr.. Fall said that if it was found
he was unable to state his side OF the
case in a deposition or on the wit
ness stand, that he would be willing
to testify before the committee.
Mr.. Fall said tonight that he had
just received telegram from Sena-
tor Nye of North Dakota asking
him if he would testify before a

pose. The telegram Indicated, Mr..
