Mr. Vanderlip said today, discus

"My purpose," said Mr. Vander

la to encourage an investigation of
gossip concerning a dead president;
gossip which is outrageous it untrue.
"I have made no formal request
to. President Coolldge for such an
Investigation. He might aay it is his
business and it may be, but it seems
to me that a newspaper could beat
conduct the inquiry if the publish
ers abandon their policy of silence
toward gossip which they have
heard. I have no unusual sources of
news.
"But I have profound faith in the
honesty and courage of President
Coolldge and bis ability to clean a

him our sympathy and patience and
not criticise him yet. He probably
felt that he came to his office by
an accident of death and that he bad

MARION, Ohio. Feb. 13. Roy D.
Moore, whom, with Louis H. Brush
of Salem, Chlo, purchased the Mar
lon Star from President Harding,
emphatically-denied today that their
purchase of the Star was In any way
connected with the Teapot Come
scandal.
"I hesitate," said a statement Is
sued by Mr. Moore, to "dignify Mr.
Vanderllps' Osslnlng speech, which
apparently tries to Implicate the sale
or the Marion Star in the Teapot
Dome scandal, with denial. If Mr.
Vanderlip were a newspaperman he
would edit bis copy and watch his
facts more closely.
"If the Teapot Dome bunch could
have manipulated the purchase of
the Star for $550,000 which was the
price paid for .It, they would have
found it a very good bargain, but
they did not buy It!
"The control of the Star was
bought by Mr. Louis H. Brush and
myself as individuals, the Harding
estate still holding a large amount or
stock in the compaav. We regard
It as worth all we paid for it. which
fact Incidentally has never been
available for Mr. Vanderllp's In
vestigation. "Had Mr. Vanderlip taken the
trouble to consult the records in the
probate court of Marlon county and
ascertain the facts he never would
have made himself so utterly ridicu
lous. "If the Teapot scandal Is based on
Information so ridiculously and un
necessarily false as Mr. Vanderllp's
Osslnlng speech It should be eery en
couraging to the American republic."

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13. When
the oil committee resumed Its hear
ings today. Stack, who testified yes
terday, was cross-examined by Chair
man Lenroot. Stack emphasised the
dansrer of dralnaste of Teapot Dome
by Wells which would be opened on
the land surrounding the naval re
serve under the action which the In
terior department had taken in 1920
Then the rights to operate on such
land had been sold at public auction
"In 1920 It was common talk
among the oil men that the reserve
was being drained." he said. He de
clared that be had never thought or
seeking to obtain a lease to the en
tire reserve but was only trying to
arrange for the privilege of driving
off set wells to prevent drainage or
the ent're reserve. His advances to
obtain an arrangement bad '""
Jected in 1917 by Admiral
and Commanders Stewart, Wright
and Phafrotb. - ,
Taking Issue with George Creel,
who testified yesterday. Stack said
the former Chairman of the commit
tee on public information did not
know that E. L. Doheny waa associat
ed with him in the etfqrta to get a
lease to drill oHset wells In Teapot
Dome.
"I may not have told him the mon
ey I paid him came from Doheny,"
said Stack, but he knew I had none
and that Mr. Doheny was backing
me."
8tack said the $5,000 he paid
Creel was the amount named by the
latter as "the grubstake" he would
need. Creel was employed, he said,
because he knew the officials in
A ashlngton and was to represent the
syndicate in the national capitol.
Slack said he had shown Secretary
Daniels where Teapot Dome was be
ing drained every day. but that the
secretary replied that if the field was
being drained the government was
getting lta royalty oil just the same
from the nearby wells.
He conferred also with several
naval officers regarding the matter.
Stack said, but became convlncod
that he was making no headway. It
iwas after this he entered into a
contract with Doheny to try to get
the Teapot Dome lease. This ai In
January, 1921."
"What did you tell Mr. Dohony?"
asked Chairman Lenroot.
"I told him that it wat my belief
that the new administration would
lease the reserves."
Stack said that Schuyler, as his
attorney, bad drawn up the contract.
In the spring of 1921, Stac said,
he went to Teapot Dome with con
sulting geologists of Denver and
found that 2,800 acrea of the re
serve were subject to draiuage.
After making a map of the whole
Teapot Dome, he said he sent Ge
ologists to Washington with it. He
was told that geological survey of
ficials agreed that the map was cor
rect and drainage was taking pice.
"I showed Doheny the map and
told him what the geological curvey
said and he became enthused,' he
continued. "I came here and took it
up with Secretary Denby."
"How did you get your entroi to
Secretary Denby?" asked Chairman
Lenroot,
"I walked right In."

Representatives of Companies
Meet Here Today to
Discuss Plans.
SCHEDULES ARRANGED
All Motor Busses in" New
Oregon Stage System
Will Be Painted the
Same Color.
Representatives of the various auto
bus stage lines in the state and of the
Central Stage Terminal and Hotel
company, met in Roseburg last night
and today to complete arrangements
for the statewide consolidation of auto
stage lines. This consolidation will
give better operating conditions and
will accomodate the patrons of the
auto lines by giving them better serv
ice with good connections with other
lines. A schedule of meets Is being
worked out so that connections may be
made to all parts of the state with
few lay- overs and delays.
Six big busses are to be put Into
operation between Rosburg and Port
land, which are to be the main termin
als in the state. Portland will be the
distributing center for all of the Wil
lamette Valley, and Roseburg for
Southwestern Oregon. This through
service will start In March with six
busses, and two more will be added
within a few weeks, making three
busses each way dally. These will
nearly all be new cars. One huge 24
passenger bus ordered by tbe Rose-burg-Eugene
line, which Is entering
into the consolidation, will be put In
to service about the last of the month
and will be one of those on the
through run.
In addition to these through stages,
there will be lines operating between
intermediate points and to towns and
cities off the highway. All lines enter
ing Into the consolidation are planning
on extensions and the Coast Auto
lines will add two or more busses be
tween Roseburg and the coast as soon
as weather conditions will permit op
eration over the road to Coos Bay.
The consolidated organization will
be known as Tbe Oregon Stage Sys
tem. Officers will be elected at some
future date, and headquarters will be
established In Portland. In Roseburg
the offices will be located at the new
stage terminal hotel, and the iU..
will change their terminals from tbe
various hotels of the city to that place
on Friday of thhs week.

Kellington Case to Be First to
Be Heard During the
February Term.
GRAND JURY MEETING
Investigations Into Various
Alleged Violations of Law
. Brought Before the
Grand. Jury.
The grand jury met today to pre
pare the state s affairs for the Febru
ary term of 'the circuit court which
opens on Monday, with tbe trial of
Fred Kellington, charged with man
slaughter. The grand jury is com
posed of E. Brlgg8, foreman; . E, W.
Bartram; J. B. Cooke, Wm. L. Moore,
C. F. Dyers, Alfred Hand, and R L.
Bradford. S. J. Jones has again been
appointed by tbe court to serve as
bailiff for the grand jury.
The investigations will not take long
It is believed, as only a few cases
have been held over. Fred Thomas
and Joe Maybury are being held In tbe
county jail charged with having stolen
bicycles belonging to Rev. Josepb
Knotts and son. These are the only
persons held In jail or under bonds for
examination. District Attorney Guy
Cordon states that there are several
other matters Including son-support,
liquor law violations, and other cases,
which will be probed by tbe grand
jury, and it is quite probable that a
thorough examination will be made or
tbe county Institutions, court house,
Jail, etc., and a report made, Tbe
term, however, Is not expected to be
long or heavy.
The docket for the circuit court will
be called tomorrow at which time the
court will specify the cases set for
trial and fix the dates that they will
be beard.
It Is expected that the case of the
state against Fred Kellineton will be
he first one set Kellington was tried
at the last term of court, but the jury
fulled to reac ban agreement and a
second trial Is to be held. This is a
case in which Kellington Is charged
with the death of George Humphreys
if Glendale. Humphreys, a Glendale
tiercbant, was a passenger In Kelling
ton's car on tbe way to Roseburg. In
rounding a curve Kelllngton's machine
collided with a car driven by R. B.
Scarlet of Portland, and Humphreys
was thrown out and killed. Kelling
ton It Is charged by the state, was
driving at a high rate of speed and In
a very reckless manner and the state
maintains that be is responsible for
the death of the Glendale man, and an
Indictment charging manslaughter
was placed against him.
Tbe second case tried will probably
be thut of the state against Francis
L. Yarbrougb of Reedsport This is
another case growing out of the
trouble arising at Reedsport last year
wben a number of persons were ar
rested charged with bribery, statu
tory offenses, and other crimes. Yar
brougb is charged with a crime
against a minor girl of Reedsport He
was Indicted by the last grand jury,
but because of the condition of the
girl, who was about to become a
mother, the case was continued by the
consent of both sides until tbe Feb
ruary term. Yarbrough Is fcelng held
under bonds to guarantee bis appear
ance. There are several appeals from the
Justlre court to be heard, and a num
ber of other matters of importance to
be brought before the court. It is ex
pected that there will be a number
of civil actions to be beard before the
Jury, although this term will probably
nol be as long as the last one.

( Associated Press Leased Wire.)
LUXOR. Egypt, Feb. IS. The cor
respondent of the Associated Press .
was the first newspaperman adm",,-?
ted today to view tbe gorgeous mum
my case of Tutankhmen, which was-"
disclosed yesterday by the raising of
the massive lid of tbe sarcophagus.
At the first view of this wonder
ful bizarre and golden coffin with
the race, shoulders, breast and arms
of the Pharoah standing out In bold
est relief on tbe metal, one realized
that this dlscoverey was Indeed an
event In the annals of Egyptology.
Nothing has ever been found In
Egypt before resembling this colos
sus of gold with Its strangely na
tural, oddly captivating face and su
preme dignity of line. The only par
allel one can call to mind Is the
great stone effigy carved on the lid of
the scarpnabua or Merenptah, tne
reputed pharoah of the exodus.
It now seems clear that the effigy
of Merenptuh, whose sarcophagus
lies in his tomb, a scant hundred
yards from that of Tutankhmen. and
hitherto regarded unique In igypt,
merely represents in stone the hab
itual form of tbe mummy case of
EgvDt's kings.
The sight of the sheets of gold
eleamtng on the mummy case of
Tutankhmen tells Its own tale of
the reward that awaited the enter
prise of the ancient tomb robbers
and readily explains why, of all the
enulchres of RevDt s old rulers, only
Tutonkhamen's has been Inviolate. .
When the correspondent entered
the tomb he found a sheet of glass
laid across the opea sarcophsgus be
neath the cracked gralnte ild which
hung from Its tackle some three feet
aliove. The first slclit of the dead
king's effigy was overwhe'mlng. It
mbjht have heen a huge (to'den Idol,
n Incredibly blrarre effect was lent ,
