700 PETITION
FOR WIDENING
Board, However, Is Opposed
to Improving Michigan.

The board of public works today
looked with disfavor on the petition
to widen Michigan street from
White river to the Pleasant Run
boulevard, according to Theodore
Dammeyer, president.
A petition bearing about 700
names was filed with the board
Monday. Danmeyer said it was not
wise to consider the project under
the thoroughfare plan which pro-
vides the city pay most of the cost.
The thoroughfare fund is depleted,
because of the proposed widening of
Sixteenth street. Dammeyer in
dicated the board will order the i'm
provement, but assess the costs
against property owners in the
benefited district.
If the property owners won't
stand for that I don't see much
chance for their petition" Dam
meyer declared.
Representatives of a number Of
Industries signed the petition for the
east and west artery north Of Wash
ington street. No engineering
estimate of the cost has been made,
but it is likely that the expense
would total about $1,000,000.
The petition was referred to the
city engineer for a recommendation.

Henry NJ. Day Begins Four
Month Term for Oil Case
Jury ShadoWing.
BOTH WORLD FAMOUS
Activities in Fall Teapot
Dome Scandal Put Them
Behind Prison Bars.
BY KENNETH G.. CRAWFORD
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. June 25.-The
District of Columbia jail houses two
of the worlds most famous oil
operators today-Harry F. Sinclair
and Henry Mason Day.
Sinclair now is an old resident,
spending his sixth week in the big
stone house, but Day joined him
only Friday night.
Sinclair must remain six months
and Day, four months minus a, few
days each for good behavior.
The two men who worked side
by side to build up a, gigantic oil
business we're sentenced for the
same offense, contempt Of court.
The charge grew out OF their jury
shadowing activities during the trial
of Sinclair and Albert B. Fall, for
mer secretary of interior, for alleged
conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment.
Hired Jury Shadowers
Day. with the knowledge and con-
sent of Sinclair, hired the Burns
Detective Agency to watch and re-
port on the nature and activities of
the Jurors who were to decide the
guilt or innocence of Sinclair and
Fall.
A mistrial was declared as soon
as the jury shadoWing was discov-
cred. Sinclair later was tried on the
conspiracy charge and acquitted, but
Fall never has come to trial because
of Ill health.
Day arrived at the Jail Monday
night apparently little concerned at
the prospect Of spending four
months inside its red stone walls. He
posed Smilingly for photographers
and answered the questions of re-
porters,
II want to give you fellows a
break" he told them. 'Well get
together and stop this Squabbling,
I have all the time in the world
He apparently referred to the
controversy between jail officials
and the press at the time Of Sin
clair's imprisonment when reporters
were barred from the jail for sev-
eral days to protect Sinclair from
what they considered humiliating
publicity.
John C1arson, assistant deputy
marshal, was waiting for Day at
the jail when he drove up alone in a
taXicab.
Ready for Business
The new prisoner wore q gray suit,
gray hat and blue shirt. His man
ner was as businesslike as If he
we're about to negotiate a, million
dollar oil contract.
Before walking through the barred
door, he passed out a prepared
statement reasserting that both he
and Sinclair are innocent of any
criminal offense.
st am now and shall be able to
look any man straight in the eye,
as I have all my life the statement
said, ST have nothing to live down"
He said he would resume his
duties as vice. president of the Sin
clair Exploitation Company as soon
as he is released.
Sinclair now is the prison phar-
macist with quarters near the dis
pensary.
2 Day probably will be assigned to
Office duty and may have little OPP
portunity to converse with his chief
except at meals.

Ruff was owned by Edward S.

His owner has done everything pos
sible to find him.
Pardoe believes Ruff must have
been stolen because if he had been
killed his tag would have identified
him. He has inquired of all the
local dog agencies and followed any
number of blind tips" but TO no
avail. The tag was numbered 1881.
The Pardoe family is heartbroken

If favorably reported the fight
over the nominations will be trans

Confirmation of either appointee
appeared unlikely, due to widespread
opposition in the Senate. A similar
fate apparently awaited Cyril n.

to the Radio Commission.

The Glass bill led to contro-

railroad and Virginia on one hand
and the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road and Maryland on the other,
The two groups proposed different
sites for the market and their battle
reached the Senate when Glass
bill favored the site nearest Vir-
ginia and adjoining Pennsylvania
railroad tracks.
FiIibusters Threaten
The $24,000,O0 dry fund battle
will revolve around Senate action
on the second deficiency appropria-
tion. A group, led by Senators
Harris CD of Georgia, and Glass
Cd of Virginia, threatened a fill
buster against the bill unless the
$4,000. 900 were added TO it.
Another controversy was pending
over propasal to make all income
tax funds public, the House having
rejected an amendment added to the
first deficiency bill by the Senate.
The Dill resolution. extending the
life of the Radio Commission for one
more year, also faced filibustering
