SARGENT, WORK
ADMIT CHARGES
Say Stopped Indictment
of Fall and Burke

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Former
Attorney General John Garibaldi
Sargent, and Chairman Hubert
Work of the Republican National
Committee managing Hoover's cam
paign testified before the Indian
Affairs Committee of the senate to-
day, in the case of the Barnett In
dian land graft.
Work admitted, that while Secre-
tary of the Interior, he asked Sar-
gent to order Assistant Attorney
Selby of Oklahoma City to stop in
vestigations which were leading
straight to indictments for graft,
and conspiracy of former Secretary
of the Interior Fall, and Indian
Commissioner Burke, as well as
others.
Sargent Confesses.
Sargent admitted issuing the Or
der. Both Sargent and Work plead
ed they knew little of the case, and
tried to make the impression they
were acting only to see that Burke
was treated fairly. Everybody at
the investigation united forces to
keep the name of Fall, accused as
much as Burke in the conspiracy, as
much in the background as possible.
The Barnett case was that of an
Indian who had a million dollars
worth of oil lands. He was kid
mapped and married by some lady,
who afterwards disposed of his
property, half to herself and half to
mission. The whole thing was
held illegal in the courts, but before
that, Assistant Attorney Selby, of
the federal court in Oklahoma City,
called a grand jury to hear evidence.
The facts showed that Secretary
of the Interior Fall and Indian Com
missioner Burke had guilty knowl-
edge of the theft of oil lands. Be-
fore the indictment was secured.
Selby's official superiors called eff
the investigation. Selby's story to
the Indian lands committee became
public, and precipitated the scandal.

SAYS SNEAKER WAS LEADER AT
 GENEVA FIASCO
Senator Allen Gives More Details on Naval
 Conference

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. - New claims by William Shearer as to his influence on the fruitless Geneva Naval Conference of 1927 were laid before the Senate Committee yes terday as the committee continued tracing payments to him by battle ship builders, other than the $25,- GOO he received for work done in the Swiss town.
 Senator Allen of Kansas, referred to a letter Shearer had written to his employees one year after the Geneva fiasco in which it was stated that this advance campaign and accuracy of authentic data re- leased by me, automatically made me the leader of the unofficial fight" In the letter, Senator Allen said, indications were that even the officials referred to Shear CT in the press as representative of unofficial interests. The attempt of the United States to deliver the proposition was defeated and the complete expose is coming.
 GO-Between
 Henry c. Hunter, of the National Council of American Ship Builders, said he was the go-between on pay ment of money by the ship builders to Shearer, in December, 1926, for publicity work. He said Shearer re- ceived s2,500 month from Decem- Der until March and said Shearer also was to cooperate with the United States Shipping Board"

Less than two years after his memorable goodwill tour of Latin America, Colonel Charles A. Lind bergh is making the same trip ac- companied by Mrs. Lin d b CT g h. Starting September 20 from Miami, he will establish commercial serv- ice over more than half the route and mark trail for air service over the rest. The original sched ule as far as Paramaribo, Dutch Guiana, was extended to include the reverse trip of 1928.
 The loop, more than 1000 miles in perimeter, has never been flown in it's entirety by any other pilot, and passes over sixteen nations
 The purpose of the extension is to make final tests and inspection of the new two-way system of ra- dio communication installed be- tween planes in flight and eighteen ground stations now established over the routes of the Pan Ameri- can Airways, to which he is tech nical advisor.
 If the inspection of the radio and passenger facilities between Mi ami and Cristobal, c. c., are deem- ed adequate by Colonel Lindbergh to insure safety for passengers, he will set a date on his return for the inauguration of such service over the portion of the route on which he inaugurated air mail service February last.
 Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh, &C., companied by officials of the Pan- American lines, took the regular mail plane as far as San Juan, P. R., where they transferred to a Sikorsky Wasp powered amphibian for the flight through the Virgin Islands to Paramaribo. From there they will fly along the north coast line of South America, stopping some time in Venezuela. There Colonel Lindbergh will confer with the new president, Dr. Juan Bau- tista Perez, with reference to es-

 of all American societies, fra ternities and organizations, the Am erican Legion is particularly inter- esting and impressive" declared Dr. H. c. DeVighne, who formally welcomed the visitors.

 Service, declared Dr. DeVighne, is the watchword and keynote of the Legion. Service in time of war is the primary qualification for membership in it. Only those who have so served can become mem bers. Every man in it has demon- strated his willingness to serve his country, and the primary reason for the organization is to perpet- uate the spirit to serve it in time of peace as well as in war.
 Briefly he reveiwed the progress of the organization since its first came into existence, its growth not alone in membership, but in public esteem and in the scope of it's activities and influence. It now stands on it's own feet, pays it's own way, and membership in it IS indeed an honor, he declared.
