President Asserts Field Heads Claims Have All Been Investigated and Disproved---Sees Political Plot to Dis- grace Officials.
Actual Land Sold Totals 43,OOO Acres, Not S,O0O,- 900 as Charged-2OOOO of This Man Who Made Claims Approved Him. self.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-LP>-Presi- dent Hoover denounced as an at tempt to fasten an odious oil scan dal upon his administration the charges by Ralph s. Kelley. former head of the Denver field force of the department of the interior. that oil companies were obtaining illegal ly valuable oil shale lands from the government
 The president said that while publication of the Kelley charges Tn the newspapers did not represent the | high standard of American journal | ism, the newspapers might have been misled. He said Kelley or the newspapers publishing his stories could have determined the falsity Of the charges by investigation.
 Says Charges Delayed
 MT. Hoover said that though kel- ley came to Washington last July and arranged the sale of his story to a newspaper, his charges were delayed so they could be put into the political campaign. He said the newspaper that purchased the story was of political faith opposite to his own.
 Kelley, in Mir. Hoover's opinion. could himself have established the falsity of his charges by reference to his own records.
 Instead of S,000,0O0 acres of oi, 1 titles worth millions of dollars being approved by this administration, the | president said, there have been only | 43,OO0 acres of titles granted and | these could be bought, the chief exc cutive added, for a few dollars an acre.
 Of the 43,O00 acres the president said, 10000 had been approved by Kelley himself
 Approves Sound Criticism
 The president said a proper in-. quiry and sound criticism by the press was safeguard of good gov ernment, but in this instance the newspaper circulating kelley's story, which he did not name, had gone further and apparently had made no effort to substantiate Kel- 1 ley's charges.
 MT. Hoover pointed out that Kel- ley was in Washington for six weeks last year and during that time made no reference to the charges to his superiors. Simultaneously, the presi- dent added, Kelley was negotiating for the sale of these charges to rival political party and even then held them up for some weeks SO they might be launched in the mid dle of the political campaign. | When charges unsupported by evil dence rehecting upon the honesty of a man of the character of Secretary Wilbur have been made, the presi- 1 dent said, they should do more damage to those who make them than to the man attacked l Spoke Month Ago Kelley first made his charges a month ago today in a statement to the press. At the same time he an- nounced his resignation after more than 25 years service in the west. Secretary Wilbur refused to &C., cept the resignation and suspended kelley pending an investigation which he asked the justice depart (Continued on Page Eight)

Rescue Work Started

McAelster, Okla, Oct. 2S UP)- Working in relays and protected by cumbersome gas masks, volunteer rescue crews dug their way. foot by foot, today into the Samples Coal Mine No. 4. where 2S miners, all but one of a recently established night shift, were entombed.
 Curley Donley, the 29th man of he shift. was dead, killed by ter rife blast that wrecked the mine late last night and shook violently the town of McAlester, mile and a half away.
 The only hope that any of the other 2S men is alive is that they have found a pocket of fresh air and slipped into it. said J. G. Outer baugh, president of a McAlester fuel company, veteran miner and a leader in the rescue work.
 The chances for saving them are almost nil." he added.
 Early this morning the rescue workers had reached the 400 foot level, digging furiously but slowly through the mass of wreckage that blocked the shaft.
 Make Way to Next Level
 The rescue workers had burrowed their way to the 500-foot level at o'clock this morning, Cuterbaugh, reported. He said the gas fumes were stronger, hindering the ad- vance toward the entombed men.
 American Legion members from McAlester stood guard at the mine throughout the night, holding the crowd back and preparing food for the rescue crews.
 Milling about the entrance were almost 2,000 excited persons. Among

 INQUIRY STARTED
Official Investigation Gets Under
 Way in London
FLIGHT WAS EXPERIMENT
Sir William Jowitt Outlines Case as Session Opens-PubliC Interest Rivals That Seen at Opening of Parliament.

London, Oct. 2S LP-The ground work for evidence as to what caused the crash of the British dir igible R-101 at Beauvais three weeks ago was laid today as a government inquiry was opened in the Civil En- gineers' Institute.
 Sir John simon opened the hear ing, but the main speech was made by Sir William Jowitt, attorney gen. eral, who pointed out the purely experimental nature of the flight and declared that the factor of safety in an airship is insurance against ignorance"
 Less Regard For Safety
 He added that naturally cXperi- mental airships, operated by highly trained crews, must proceed with less regard to safety than ordinary well developed commercial enter prises.
 Turning to the R-1o1 itself, Sir William said that the dirigible went on four trial flights before starting the ill-fated voyage which cost 4S lives. The trial made after a new bay had been added to the air ship was followed shortly by the granting of certificate of air Worthiness.
 On a question as to whether ma terial used in constructing the dir igible had anything to do with the calamity, the attorney general re- marked that cable controlling an elevator had been found broken in

DR. VARGAS LIKELY BRAZILIAN LEADER Four Cornered Fight Believed
 Near Settlement SITUATION CLEARING UP
Capt. Juarez Willing to Accept Any Solution That Pleases Majority New Leader Not Yet in City But Expected Soon.

New Leader Not Yet in City But
 Expected Soon.
 Pernam buco, Brazil, Oct. 2S P>- The Brazilian insurgents four-cor- nered fight for control of the gov ernment, left without head by de- position of Dr. Washington Luis, was believed here today to have been settled finally with selection of Dr. Getulio Vargas to lead the new regime.
 Situation Cleared Up Advices from Rio de Janeiro in- dicated clearing up of the situa- ton created by rival political antag- onisms of the military junta which busted Dr. Washington Luis as pres ident, Dr. Vargas, leader of the southern revolutionary army, insur- gent elements in Minas Geraes, and Captain Juarez Tavora, leader of the northern revolutionary army.
 Captain Juarez received a tele- gram from the chief of general staff stating: General Fragoso (head of the military junta) has invited Dr. Vargas to assume charge of the government. Accordingly hostilities should be suspended immediately" Previously the president of Rio Grande Do Sul (presumably Dr, Osvaldo Aranha, president pro-tem.) had telegraphed the northern leader to continue his march beyond Bahia, where he is now located, if he felt it necessary.
 Juarez Quite Willing
 Captain Juarez is understood here to have indicated to friends his will ingness to accept whatever solution of the situation may be worked out at Rio de Janeiro, choos- ing despite a considerable popularity in the north to subordinate his own political aspirations for the present.
 In a message to Mauricio Lacerda, liberal deputy, he said that he favor- ed a transitory dictatorship to allow avoidance of precedent which might hamper 'hygienization and morali- zation" of judicial and administra- tive policies.
 He also believes that it is the duty of military men to refuse posts in the new government in order to be in a position to veto with "moral"' force names of politicians believed incapable of carrying out aspirations of the revolutionists.
 The arrival last night of Dr. Aranha cleared the situation great ly, while the military junta's state ment yesterday-that it merely was a temporary agent, serving until a new government could be formed was received by the morning press with enthusiasm.
 Much space was given the fact that Getulio Vargas probably would head the new government.
 Vargas Coming Soon
 While Senor Vargas has not ar. rived here, he is making prepara- tions to come and has ordered a special train made ready on the cen tral railroad to take him to Sac

 The old age pension bill. which the democratic party favors, was eX- plained by the former mayor as a measure intended to make possible days and years of comfort for men the age at which they can no longer provide for themselves.

Likewise, the republican party has refused to come out in the open and favor the repeal of the 18th amend ment, despite the fact that many of the party leaders are known to be opposed to prohibition.

 When the former mayor asked the audience if they liked to pay 12 per cent penalty interest on their unpaid taxes, several of his listeners shout ed, No"
 Indeed you don't" the speaker continued. But you will continue to do so if the republicans stay in charge of the government. I fought against it two years ago for you in Hartford but did not get anywhere. The democratic party favors legis- l lation to do away with the 1c per

London, Oct. 2S (P}-The Mac. Donald government, in today's speech from the throne at the open. ing of parliament made definite bid for it's retention in office by ad. vocating electoral reform long de- manded by the liberal party which holds the balance of power.
 King George, recovered from his long illness, convened parliament fol it's winter session with all the pa geantry customary for the occasion He read the nine minute speech from the throne, in a firm resonant voice.
 International relations, India, un- employment, electoral reform anC laws relating to trade disputes and touched upon by his majesty in the speech by which the laborite govern ment has now outlined it's program before parliament.
 The lords adjournment was unti 4:15 D. m., but the commons was tc meet again at p. m., when debate on an address in reply to the kings speech was due to begin. Two fea- lures of the speech from the throne were accepted as highly controver. sial, projected electoral reform, and indications of an attempt to nullify the law which made the genera strike of 1926 illegal and would tend to prevent other strikes of the na- ture.
 Bid for Support
 The projected electoral reform represents definite bid of the Mac Donald ministry, affirmed in a state ment of the prime minister himself last night. to remain in office as long as possible, since it is mea. sure long sought by the liberal party on whose votes Mr. Macdonald de. bends for the life of his government
 While the kings speech, which is written and composed for him by MT. Macdonald and his minister, merely mentions that an electoral re- form measure will be submitted tc parliament, it was understood that the measure will include the liberal proportional representation scheme Such a scheme would give them rep resentation in the commons far IT excess of their present membership which is limited by reason Of three cornered constituency races, IT which, although the liberals always poll a large vote they usually are behind either conservatives of labor ties or both.
