Mlas Sanson's testimony started
with reference to the "little green
house on K street." She said she was
not familiar with Washington and
would rather not answer questions
about it.
"It was purely personal," she said
"It Is absolutely of no consequence."
She reiterated however, that
i Smith had told her of meeting the
attorney-general there. She said
''different senators and Important
people," had conferences In the
house.
"Do you know who occ- pied It?"
asked Senator Moses.
"I think it was one of McLean's,
I am not sure about that."
She said she did not know the
purpose of the conferences, there,
but Smith had told her the house
was used for private conferences
(where they would not be disturbed.
Department of Justice appoint
ments were considered there she
said, and people making appoint
ments went there she was told.
Senator Ashurst referred to Col
onel James O. Dardeu and Miss Stin
son said she met him in the "shack"
near Washington court house, which
tbe attorney-General, Smith and oth
ers maintained.
- Hesitating. Miss Stinson said she
could "tell better later" of the eon
ference between Darden and others.
Smith had told her the attorney,
general and himself met In the
"green house" because they could
meet "privately." '.
Daugherty was In ColumbuS. she
Bald, when she saw Colonel Darden
at "the shack."
"I know they had something that
they were considering."
"There was something wrong
somewhere," she continued. "They
did drop Mr. Darden."
"What brought this about was
that Darden did not measure up,"
said Miss Stinson.
"Measure up to what?" demand
ed Senator Ashurst.
"They dropped him," was the
answer.
Questioned by Senator Wheeler,
Miss Stinson answered "Yes" when
asked if Smith was a partner "in
these various deals."
On tbat she said her chief knowl
edge came from Smith. She said
she knew "of a deal" ' between
Daugherty and Darden of which
Smith had told her.
She said Smith gave Darden, $2.
250, and be told her Daugherty gave
tbe same amount to Darden.
"They had a deal In an oil propo
sition out west." tbe said.
Smith told ber, she said, that Cal
onel Darden for yeart "hat been try
ing to get througl tome leases some
way through Washington, prior to
this administration."
"If this isn't a pipe dream It may
probably make us a lot of money,"
she said Smith told her.
"Harry Daugherty and Jesse
8mith put In 13,400 apiece." she re
iterated. , . A.
Senator Wheeler went back to the
Carpentier-Dempaey fight films.
Miss Stinson said the proposition
was that transportation of the films
was a legal violation and if the films
could be transported without prose
cution "tbey were to receive 1180.
000." "Whether that was ever consum
mated. I do not know."
Mr. Smith told her that Daugh
erty would tee there wat no prosecu
tion. . ,.
"That was the deal." she said.
Certain "picture" companies un
named she said were to be In nego

CHEYENNK, Wyo .March 13.
Federal Judge T. Blake Kennedy
today granted a temporary Injunc
tion halting further development
work by the Mammoth Oil company
ou the Teapot Oil reserve.
Judge Kennedy named Rear-Admiral
Joseph Strauss of the United
States navy and A. E. Watts, vice
president of the Sinclair Consolidat
ed OU corporation as ' joint receiv
ers for the Teapot Dome property
pending the final outcome of the lit
igation. Rear-Admiral Joseph Strauss of
the United States navy had been
requested by government counsel aa
receiver pending the outcome of the
litigation and A. K. Watta, vice
president of the Sinclair Consolidat
ed Oil corporation, had been nam
ed by the defendants.
Neither counsel objected to the
man named opposing counsel.
CHEYENNE, Wyo..' March 13.
Judge T. Blake Kennedy today op
ened tha preliminary hearing on the
government bill In equity aeeklng
annulment of tba Teapot Dome oil
reserve lease after attorneys repre
senting both aides had held an
hour's consultation In the Judge'a
office.
Owen J. Roberts, opening the
case for th government aaked that
Judge Kennedy - Issue an order
granting an Injunction restraining
the defendants from any further
drilling operations on the Teapot
Dome reserve.
The order would also appoint a
receiver to take charge of opera
lions on Teapot Dome and direct
him to continue operatlona only ao
far aa he should deem necessary.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., March 13.
Charging frauds, conspiracy and Il
legality, the government filed Its
suit here today to cancel the Tea
pot Dome lease and contracts. The
governments special counsel peti
tioned the United States district
court to do three specific things:
1 Issue a temporary Injunction
stopping oil production.
2 Appoint a receiver to lake
charge of the properties.
3 Enter a final decree cancell
ing the leasee and contracts, re
turning the properties to the govern
ment and enforcing an accounting.
Former Secretary Kail was charg
ed with making " false representa
tions" to tbe late President Hard
ing which resulted In the transfer
of the lands from the navy to the
Interior dopartmont. The govern
ment denies there was any warrant
for leasing the land at all.
The bill further alleges tbat Kail
and Harry K. Sinclair, tbe latter
acting for the Mammoth Oil com
pany did combine, conspire and con
federate to di-fraud the United
States.
The result of these acts, the
government's bill recites, was to
lease the Teapot lands to the Mam
moth Oil company, at "Inadequate.
Improper and fraudulent considera
tion." Former Secretary Denhy, In con
nection with the tranatctlon It des
cribed in the government's hill, as
"having exercised no discretion"
and bis signature Is characterised
as merely a colorable attempt to
evidence the compliance by blm In
lta term.
Tbe Sinclair Crude Oil producing
company and the Sinclair Pipe Line
company, operating atorage facili
ties on Teapot Dome, were made
parties to the suit at "trespassers"
to be ejected, their properties to be
taken over by tbe receiver.
Prepared by Former Senator Pom
nrene and Owen J. Huberts, tpeclal
counsel fur tbe guvernment, tbe bill
goes over much of the ground cov
ered In the senste Investigation. It
recites that President Harding was
without authority to transfer the
lands but did so "on false repre
sentations from fall," we desired to
deal with the lands, "not In the In
terest of tbe United Htstes but to
the advantsge, profit and benefit of
the Mammoth company, and In par
ticular. Harry K. Slnclslr."
Kali, the bill continues, knew at
the time that the whole transaction
wat Illegal.
Evidence of the alleren conspir-
ward L. Doheny and Leo A. Stack,
tha bills taya, were among those
so excluded. At Uie same time, the
government charges "Kail stead
fastly refused to take the opinion
of law officers of tbe government on
the legality of the proposal,"
Fall, furthermore, the govern
ment chargea, "secretly communi
cated" to Sinclair that he would not
make any leatet until Sinclair pro
duced "quit claim deeda to any
claima within the lands, ' knowing
well that aald claima were worth
less." Then, the bill chargea, Fall "by
connivance" arranged for Sinclair to
acquire such quit claima from the
Pioneer OU company "with Intent to
atlfle competition." At the same
time, It ia recited. Fall agreed with
John S. 8haffer, newspaper publish
er, to "tee that Sinclair eet apart"
certain of the leased lands for "the
benefit of tha aald Shaffer."
WASHINGTON, March 13. How
American marinea cleared Teapot
Dome of trespassers after that oil
reserve had been leased to Harry K.
Sinclair waa declared today to tha
oil committee.
Major-General LeJeune command
ant of the marine corps waa the
first witness In thla Una of Inquiry. ,
Ho said order for the evacuation
were Issued by Theodore Roosevelt,
then acting aecretary of tha navy,
who also called to testify.
This wat In July, 1922. General
LeJeune aald, and George K, Shuler,
then a captain of marinea, waa ae
lected after a conference with Secre
tory Fall, to command the detail
tent to Toapot.
Four enlisted men were selected
to accompany Shuler, who ia now
treasurer of New York state.
Roosevelt had ordered tbat men
of "tact and discretion" be chosen.
General LeJeune said, ao aa to avoid
trouble.
Shuler telegraphed on August 4,
that his mission had been accomp
lished. Later Fall wrote the navy
commending Shuler for bis work.
Asked whether he did not regard
this as an extraodlnary use or the
marine corps, the General said he
did not consider that point at all.
He simply obeyed orders.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
testified that the request ' for the
clearing of Teapot Dome came from
Fall, who was quoted as saying be
and the president wanted tbe.
"squatters" ejected as tbey were
about to take out oil on which the
government would get no royalty.
Fall told him, Roosevelt said, that
Secretary Daniels bad taken similar
action.
Secretary Roosevelt did not re
call anything "very clearly" about a
protest from tbe governor of Wyom
ing against employing forces to re
move trespassers.
On July 29. 1922, Colonel Roose
velt aald, he found a not from Kali
to the effect that "ther were tree
passers or squatters on tha dome,
about to take oil, from which the
government would get no aharea."
In conversation with him later,
the wltneaa continued. Secretary
Fall aald be and the president want
ed some marines sent to put these
people off the oil reservation. The
aecretary added, he said, that he had
not expected President Harding to
favor the action because one of th
men engaged In trespassing waa a
friend of bis. This, however, he de
clared, made no difference to tha
president.
In selecting a marine officer for
the duty. Colonel Roosevelt proceed
ed. he had "sought to get some man
who would not do anything rash."
get Into a fight or ahoot somebody."
Senator Walsh read Into a record

Jr., aecretary to tha president by H.
H. Tsmman of the Denver Post, un
der date of August 1, 1922. char
acterizing the situation In Teapot
Dome as "an awful mess."
Tammsn called Christian's atten
tlon to an article of th Post con
cerning the ejection of the Mutual
