OIL SHALE INQUIRY
WILL CALL WILBUR
Senate Committee to Probe
KeIIey's Charges Soon
After Recess.

Senator Walsh, Democrat, Of Mon
tana, announced yesterday that Secre-
tary Wilbur will be one of the first wit
nesSes to appear before the Senate Pub
lie Lands Committee In Its investiga-
ton Of charges by Ralph s. Kelley that
the Interior Department had favored
large oil concerns in handling Colorado
oil sha1e lands.
Senator Walsh, who recently intro
duced q resolution to investigate the
charges Of Kelley, former employee OF
the Interior Department, Is preparing
to open the inquiry soon after the
Christmas recess.
Walsh, q veteran prosecutor of the
Teapot Dome investigation, said the
committee would summon Wilbur, So.
licitor Finney of the Interior Depart
ment and Kelley as its first three wit.
nesses in the preliminary inveStiga-
ton.
The officials will be, asked to furnish
records and papers on which Kelley
based his charges. He added he wa
| not satisfied with the investigation By
the Department of Justice, which found
no foundation for the charges.
1.-THE investigation by the Depart.
ment Of Justice" he said, Leaves much
to be desired. It Is rather unsatisfac.
| tory In what 1t tells, particularly about
the circumstances leading to the change
in the ruling of the department as tC
what constitutes q discovery Of Of

survive"
Claims Facts Distorted.
The following statement was issued
last night by Lucas:
Senator Norris statement Is simply
repetition of the statement made by
him on the floor Of the Senate last
Saturday. He persists In distorting the
facts. He comedies had a right to OPP
pose him and to contribute to the anti
Norris Republican organization Of Me-
braska, but he insists that my con-
tribution was not made in the proper
way.
1.-THE campaign literature which I
furnished to the anti-Norris Repub-
lican organization Of Nebraska was
ordered from the Independent Pub
fishing Co., through its representative,
Charles I. Stengle, former member
of Congress and who Is at present the
editor of the National Farm News. The
literature was sent by express to the
headquarters OF the anti-Norris or
ganization at Lincoln, Nebr. There
was no secret about this transaction.
/ deny emphatically that my opposi-
ton to Senator Norris was anything
but proper.
1.-THE Republicans Of this country
have never been satisfied with Sena-
tor Norris methods IN politics. He
seems to take great pride in his trea-
son and treachery to the Republican
party. AS an eXample-the Repub-
licans of Nebraska In 1928 favored the
nomination of Herbert Hoover as the
Republican nominee. Notwithstanding
this, Senator Norris, who had pre-
viously been elected as a Republican
to represent the Republicans Of Me-
braska, made speeches for Gov. Alfred
E. Smith, the Democratic nominee,
and voted for him in the November
election. And, although President
Hoover carried Nebraska with more
than 147,000 majority in that election,
Senator Norris has viciously and re-
lentlesSly opposed the Presidents adj
ministration.
Senator Norris condemns in the
severest language my small contr1bu-
ton to the anti-Norris organization In
Nebraska, while he seems to delight in
his own shameful record Of treachery
to his party extending over q period
Of years. His conduct has given rise to
q condition which amounts to q grow
ing cancer In the vitals Of the Repub-
lican party and it must be cut out II
| the party is to survive"

FUND RELEASED
Secretary Hyde Makes All of
Emergency Sum Avail
able to States.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
State highway departments were noh.
fed today that their respective portions
Of the $8o,000,0O0 emergency highway
construction appropriation is available
Immediately.
The Federal aid money Is to be on
cially apportioned today by Secretary
Hyde.
The action will make all Of the $780,
100000 available to the States for use
in matching their regular Federal aid
apportionments, including those for the
fiscal year 1892.
Capt. G. D. Curtiss, chief Of control Of
the Bureau of Public Roads, pointed out
that to the extent that the States have
plans ready for work the appropriations
would mean nearly double that amount
or $160,00o,000 Of new highway con-
struction.
Half Goes for Labor.
He estimated that more than one
half Of the money would go directly to
labor and that large portion would 60
to labor indirectly.
The Government under the plan
contemplated in the legislation, Will
carry the full amount of the construc-
ton bills Of the States on work done to
September /, within the limits of the
emergency appropriation.
Capt. Curtiss said that an informal
survey indicated the States have enough
work projected to absorb all of the
emergency appropriation and a like
amount of the regular Federal aid ap-
portionments.

stitutionality of those statutes, both In
California and before the United States
Supreme Court, Benjamin was always
at Attorney General Webb's elbow.
Regarded as Shrewd Politician.
Benjamin, according to California
politicians who know him well, Is one
of the shrewdest men at the game to
be found anywhere in the United States.
They say he Is primarily a conctliator,
fact-facer and square shooter. He
has a particular talent for finding out
what the enemy Is doing and meeting
1t in two-f1sted fashion before any dam
age Is done. An uncommonly retentive
memory for men and faces is one OF his
political assets. Intimate friends will
tell you that his notwithstanding quality
is his realism" He insists on getting
to the bottom of conditions in any sit
uation he has to meet, and confronting
them boldly, whether they are favorable
or unfavorable. Moonbeam chasing,
buncombe and Pollyanna stuff are de-
scribed as utterly foreign to his nature.
He goes into primary or election bat
tie with full consciousness that the other
side has plenty Of ammunition and can
not be beaten except as the result Of a
carefully prepared attack. Benjamin Is
an apostle of the theory that in politics
things don't happen-they have to be
brought about"
Family Moves to Capital.
The new power behind the Repub-
ican throne is a California big tree
sort of man, towering fully feet,
inches into space, with shoulders and
gtrth that go with it. He's been prac-
ticing law in San Francisco since leav-
ing the Attorney Generals Office and
the State Insurance Commission at
Sacramento eight years ago. He is
married and has one daughter, Barbara,
just ending her teens. The family has
packed up its belongings in San Fran
cisco and shipped them to Washington
in the expectation of pitching its tent
on the Potomac until further notice.
Raymond Benjamin has one hobby
outside Of politics. He is passionate
lover of music. The violin Is his favor
tie instrument and he f1ddles with the
classic ability of Charles G. Dawes.
Benjamin was drafted for consultative
service at Republican headquarters In
Washington for few weeks immedi-
ately preceding the 1880 Congressional
elections. He has blue eyes and light
hair Of the Coolidge tinge. A practiced
speaker at the bar, Benjamin is able
to pinch-hit as campaign spell-binder
whenever necessary, and has stumped
California repeatedly. His colors are
regulation, stalwart Republican.

HURLEY EMPHASIZES
CHALLENGE OF CRIME
New York Police Rockies Told Of
Necessity for Open Conflict
With LawlessnesS.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 23.-The
necessity Of force ito sustain the or
derby processes of law and order" was
discussed last night by Patrick j. Hur-
ley, Secretary of War, in an address
before the graduating class Of the New
York Police Department School.
Secretary Hurley warned the rookie
policemen that "since the war our Ma
ton has experienced a breakdown in
the respect for law and recognition Of
constituted authority"
"a wave Of lawlessness, unprece-
dented In our previous history, has
swept the country" he said.
I'VE seem to have inherited a stub
born determination not to submit our
selves to any discipline whatsoever. It
Is but q short step from individual
freedom unrestrained to the actual
breakdown Of the law. To say the
least, this spirit has encouraged the
forces outside the pale Of the law. The
law itself has come In for ridicule, and
organized crime has shown its con-
tempt for it by using machine guns,
bombs, hand grenades and poison gas In
its murder of the laws representa-
tives Crime no longer de-
ponds on stealth and ambush, on cum
ming leaders and efficient organization.
It now challenges with its own force
the force of the law in broad daylight"
