PROSECUTED OIL SCANDALS

washington, March 2.-tReThe
capital heard with stunned surprise
Thursday Of the death OF Senator
Walsh Of Montana on the eve Of his
elevation to the attorney seneralship
IN the new administration.
The Montanan had been . familiar
figure In the capital for 20 years, ever
since he left the private practice Of
law In Helena to come to the senate.
He probably gained his greatest
prominence as the prosecutor in the
Teapot Dome oil scandals in 1924.
But to Democrats all over the Unit
ed States. he was known as the man
who presided over the tumultuous
Democratic convention Of 1924 which
fought out the long deadlock between
Alfred E. Smith and William q. Nc
Adoo for the nomination. The dead
lock was finally broken BY the selec-
tton Of John w. Davis as the stand-
ard bearer.
Again in 1882 the Montana was
chosen to preside over q national
conclave Of his party, this time ct
Chicago where after three ballots
Franklin D. Roosevelt was nominated.
Senator Walsh took an active part
In the campaign. Throughout the
long western trip Of Roosevelt, which
took him into every far western state
except Nevada, the senator conferred
frequently with the nominee and ap-
peared often on the rear platform.
Through the west on his rear plat
form appearances, the announcement
that the Montana senator would
speak was the signal for immediate
applause from the crowds.
Through the remainder Of the cam
paign, he was . frequent visitor to
Albany and often accompanied Roess-
welt on his campaign trips.
Senate Ceases Labofs
The senate Immediately adopted
resolutions Of regret and adjourned.
A 10 o'clock meeting had been called
to expedite important legislation that
has piled up In the senate.
Numerous senator's and other Wash.
ington officials gave immediate ex-
preston to their grief and surprise at
the sudden passing Of the Montanan
who had been familiar figure In the
capital for 20 years.
Aides to President Hoover said he
was deeply moved by the news and
Immediately dispatched to Mrs. Walsh
Q message Of coincidence.

colleague. planned to ask the senate
to lay aside It's work Thursday In tri-
