decision of April by the mandate
under which Jail sentence would be
served scheduled to go to the Dis
trict of Columbia Supreme Court on
May 4.
Although there have been rumors
that Sinclair would appeal to Dis
trict Judge Hitz for suspension of
sentence on the ground that grave
injury would be done to stockholders
Of his enterprises if he were sent to
Jail, the judge has denied that he has
been approached on the subject.
In appealing for rehearing, Sim
clair contended the statute under
which he was convicted Is unconsti-
tutional az construed by the high
court.
Sinclair had defended his refusal
to answer questions of the Senate
committee on the ground that it
was a fishing expedition" de-
signed to obtain evidence to be
used in criminal proceedings
against him.
Action Already Begun
At the time he refused to answer
questions concerning leases he had
bought up to pave the way to
leasing of the Teapot Dome Naval
oil reserve in Wyoming. action had
already been started in Criminal
Courts, he contended.
He also contended that under the
high courts decision Congress
sional committee would be given
unlimited power to pry into the
private affairs of any citizen on
the ground that the inquiry was
for the purpose of aiding legisla-
tion. In its decision the high
court held the Senate committee
was securing information to aid 1t
in legislating concerning the great
Naval oil reserves.
Others To Follow
Although Teapot Dome was shorn
from Sinclair's Mammoth Oil Com
payn by the courts on the ground
that he obtained it illegally through
lease from ex-Secretary Of the In
terror Fail, the present case is the
first of many criminal proceedings
in which the Government has OBJ
tanned a conviction in the highest
court.
Sinclair was sentenced to the
Washington Asylum and Jail, but
the superintendent has already
made inquiry to learn IL he can't
be transferred to the Districts
workhouse, which Is located in low.

Storm Aids "Wets"
In Wisconsin Vote

Milwaukee. April . H)-An April
blizzard was a factor in today's vote
on the repeal of the Severson state
prohibition enforcement act.
Many communities were faced
with bad roads and transportation
troubles following the Sunday storm.
The vets regarded this as favorable
to their cause, pointing out that the
rural communities generally vote
dry.
Even should the vote today favor
repeal of the act. il would not neces-
sarily mean repeal of the states dry
laws inasmuch as the balioting was
merely an expression of state senti-
lncnt. Generally il was regarded
however. that today's vote would
serve AS a mandate with which the
Legislature would comply.
Should the referendum carry.
either for repeal or modification leg
islation now pending would have 10
be passed by the legislature and
signed by the governor before repeal
would become effective. Today's
referendum was in two parts: one
10. absolute repeal and the other for
modification. Zach voter was per-
mitted to cast y ballot on one o.
both questions.
