OF U. S. NAVY
PASSESAWAY
Edwin DENLY Dies Sudden
ly Today at His Home
in Detroit

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. s. Edwin
DENLY, former Secretary of Navy.
and one of the figures whose poll
teal career was abruptly termi-
mated by the Teapot Dome oil
scandal, died at his home here this
morning following a heart attack.
While DENLY has been in poor
health during the recent weeks, an
nouncement of his death was dis
tinct shock to his friends here.
Although DENLY was virtually
compelled to resign from the Cabi-
net as result of the Teapot Dome
affair. he did not attempt to place
any possibility charged to him
upon the shoulders of anyone else.
DENLY arose at 8 o'clock this
morning but complained of feeling
i'll. A physician was summoned
but before he could arrive, DENLY
was dead.

Drowned. Politically

After riding the crest of wave
of accomplishments that carried
him to the Cabinet of President
Harding, Edwin DENLY was drown
ed : politically in the flood of oil
scandal that boiled from the naval
oil leases at Teapot Dome.
One of the most popular men
ever to sit as a member of an
American presidents cabinet, Den
by virtually was compelled to re-
sign the Secretaryship of the
Navy in 1924 as part of the Cabi-
net cleanup demanded when the
country became aroused over the
leases which led to the indictment
for conspiracy of Albert B. Fall,
former Secretary Of the Interior,
and the oil men, Edward Doheny
ard Harry F. Sinclair.
Unfortunate acquiescence rather
than deliberate participation was
the most for which DENLY was
blamed. He always insisted that
his part in the leasing of the ma
val oil reserves was proper and for

HOOVER TAKES
firm POSITION
TARIFF ISSUE
Does Not Believe General
Revision Should Be
Taken Now

MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. S.
With only few callers yesterday,
Herbert Hoover was able to devote
considerable of his time to his
inaugural address and conferences
with Senator Smoot, of Utah, the
Chairman OF the Senate Finance
Committee.
Apparently there developed some
confusion over Hoover's position
on tariff revision but it developed
definitely there has been no chang
es in this situation since Hoover
conferred with party leaders in
Washington a fortnight ago.
Hoover is in agreement with the
Senate and House leaders that
there should be a general revision
but amendments to the existing
law covering agriculture and other
schedules affecting indus ries
which face changed conditions
from those existing when the
Fordney-McCumber bill was writ
ten six years ago..
1t also developed that Hoover
does not intend to call any farm
conference before the extra session
of Congress.

LONDON, Feb. S.-Germany has
broken through the tariff walls Of
the British Empire. Her new
trade treaty with South Africa,
embracing "a most favored nation
clause, gives her exactly the same
business footing in that part OF
the dark continent as England.
Already a great hue and cry has
arisen in England and such cpl
thets as against the spirit of the
Empire" and inconsistent with the
ideals Of the imperial conference"
are in the press. One journal de-
scribes the treaty as a "grievous
blow to the cause of Imperial pref
erence-" The Daily Express, lead
