SEEKS ACCOUNTING
AGAINST SINCLAIR

From the $50 Edition of Yesterdays Star.
H Leslie Parker of Casper, Wyo., to-
day filed suit In the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia for an &C.
counting against Harry F. Sinclair, mil
lionaire oil magnate now serving term
of imprisonment in the District Jail for
contempt of the United States Senate.
Parker claims that Sinclair obtained
a lease from the United States to the
Teapot Dome Naval Oil Reserve on the
representation that he had the entire
title to all the outstanding leases ON oil
claims in and adjacent to the reserve.
when. as a matter Of fact. the plaintiff
was entitled to a one-eighth interest
therein.
Sinclair, the court is told, received
stock Of the Mamouth Oil Co. amount
ing to nearly 2,000,00o shares, which sold
on the market for $50 per share, and OF
which the plaintiff says the oil mag
nate should be declared to have been
his trustee to the extent OF one-eighth
interest. Parker asserts that Sinclair
misrepresented to Albert B. Fall, then
Secretary Of the Interior, that he had
obtained possession OF all the claims.
The court is asked to require Sinclair
to account for all profits for a one
eighth share of the stock which Parker
claims he is entitled. The statement
was made in the bill Of complaints that
Sinclair bought out John Leo Stack and
p. G. Bonfils. Denver operators. who
held interest in the reserve, by paying
them 100000.

COUNCIL
GROUP O. KS PACT

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 18.-The committee of
the Privy Council which has been con-
sidering the Kellogg anti-war pact
voted today to report it favorably to
the council June 26.
The debated phrase, lin the names of
their respective peoples" will be re-
ported favorably also, according to its
Interpretation by the cabinet.
The action was considered a victory
for Baron Tanaka, Japanese premier,
since the expected censure of the cabi-
net by the Privy Council body failed to
materialize.
There has been much opposition in
Japan to ratification of the Kellogg
anti-war treaty on the ground that the
clause "the high contracting parties
solemnly declare in the names of their
respective peoples, etc." in Article l,
infringes upon the position of the EN-
peror, who may sign in his own name
and not of his people.
The cabinet Interpretation Of the dis
puted clause was a continuance to make
it meaningless in the sense to which
the Japanese opposition objected.

PLAN VOYAGE TO FRANCE.

PORTLAND, Me-, June 10 (P.-Mr.
and Mrs. Morris r. Schneider OF Port
land, parents of Arthur Schneider, stow
away on the Yellow Bird on its trans
atlantic fight, announced last night
they would leave for Paris soon to join
their son.
The elder Schneider asserted the OBJ
iect of the trip was to shake hands
with the three brave flyers who took
my son safely across the ocean"
He said he would attempt to get in
touch with Mrs Jean Assolant, wife OF
the Yellow Birds pilot, who now is in
New York, and suggest that the three
make the voyage together.
NEW YORK, June 10 (H).-Mrs. Jean
Assolant announced yesterday she would
leave tomorrow aboard the lie de France
for Paris to join her husband, pilot OF
the transatlantic monoplane Yellow
Bird.
Mrs. Assolant, who became the bride
of the airman few days before the
planes departure from Old Orchard,
Me. for Europe, said she had received
a cablegram from her husband urging
her to sail Wednesday.

ASKS DECORATIONS
FOR FRENCH FLYERS
Air Minister Would Make
ASSoIant and Lefevre
Members of Legion.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, June i'm. Laurent Eynac,
French air minister, will recommend to
President Doumergue that Jean AssoIant
and Rene lie Fevre, pilot and navigator
of the transatlantic plane yellow Bird,
be awarded the decoration of Chevalier
of the Legion of Honor.
The action will be the most marked
indication of a change in the attitude
of the French government toward the
Yellow Prd trio. The government
hitherto has frowned sternly upon
transatlantic attempts in general and
upon its former baby sergeants,"
Assolant and lie Fevre, in particular.
Guests of Club.
The two. with their financial hacker,
Armeno Lotti were guests of the Aero
Club Of France, yesterday, Pierre
Etienne Flandin, former minister of
aviation greeting them. He remarked
that at a time when many people were
despairing of French aviation and
criticizing both it's material and its
plished the great feat, which has been
equaled and surpassed only by Lind
bergh."
Although the stowaway, Arthur
Schneider of Portland. Me. accompanied
the aviators to the Aero Club welcome
and later to the reception given by
Norman Armour at the American en-
bassy. he was not mentioned in any of
the speeches and seemed much out Of
the picture.
When Assolant. LIE Fevre and Lotti
finally went to lie Bourget to trundle
their plane into the open, Schneider did
not accompany them. Lott was asked
about q report he intended shipping the
stowaway back to the United States in
the care of the American embassy. He
replied: THE young man is our guest.
He is free to enjoy the sights of Paris
for few days"
Awarded Medals,
Assolant will receive the gold medal
of the French Aero Club, and the silver
medal of the club is to be bestowed
upon lie Fevre.
Schneider, who was treated more than
leniently in the French press yesterday,
came in for some criticism this evening.
The newspapers passed him off as
Joke in the enthusiasm OF the welcome
to the French aviators, but the word
"irnbecile" was the epithet most fire.
quently applied to Schneider tonight.
The three aviators will be officially
received at the Paris Hotel de Vile on
June 20 by Georges Lemarchand, preSl-
dent of the Paris Municipal Council,
and the entire city government.

One of the hardest things to over

Washington Ticker
BY CLINTON COFFIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

Railroad ownership, by modern meth
DDS of corporate organization, is escap-
ing pretty successfully from some phases
of Federal regulation, the Interstate
Commerce Commission confessed today
in making its annual report to Congress.
The creation of holding or investment
corporations which own, buy and sell
railroads or parts of railroads, the COM
mission concludes, has enabled an APP
proach to consolidation of carriers, par
ticularly in the Eastern district, with
out reference to and even In opposition
to the commissions authority. The
commission now notifies Congress that
1.-The subsection of the unification of
carriers by railroad to the orderly
process of a carefully planned scheme
of public regulation is very likely to be
partially or even wholly defeated" and
asks thorough investigation and serious
consideration of new legislation to bring
the procedure back under its jurisdic-
ton.
With this language the commission
openly discloSes the legal gap that has
been for some time widening in its pow
ers for dealing with railroad consoli-
dation projects. Though o. P. and M. j.
Van SWeringen of Cleveland, dominat-
ing the Nickel Plate, Chesapeake &
Ohio, Pierre Marquette and Erie systems,
with some degree of control over the
Wheeling & Lake Erie as well, have
been refused permission to make a for
NAL merger of their holdings, there has
come into existence the Allegheny Cor
poration, which the commission says
