QN OIL LEASE
Political III Feeling Slows Up
Move Toward Annulment
of Naval Leases De-
' bates Prolonged
C00LIDGE WAS INFORMED
IN ADVANCE OF, CHARGES
Debate on Floor of Senate
Brings Name of Former
President to Front
WASHINGTON; Jan. 29. T h e
move (or annulment of the naval
oil leases proceeded slowly today
In a thickening atmosphere of po
litical bitterness.
The senate again failed to act
on the Walsh annulment resolu
tion after an all-day debate in
which the demand for the resig-
nation of Secretary Denby was re
newed and a similar attack was
launched against Attorney Gen
erl Daugherty.
During the day Senator Walsh.
Democrat, Montana, enlarged the
. area of oil fieds to be recovered
by introducing a resolution to as
sert title to sections of naval oil
lands In California now In posses
sion of the Standard Oil company.
Will Not Resign
Taking Bote of fthe attacks on
him v Secretary . Denby, after at
tending a two hour session of
President Coolldge's cabinet, said
he believed he had acted for the
best In the oil transactions; that
he would do the same thing again
and that he would not resign
even if the Robinson resolution de
manding that he do so were adopt
ed. . At the cabinet meeting, the pres
ident and his advisors discussed
in every detail In the course of
the administration-and It was ap
parent tonight that two lawyers
to be. employed as special counsel
in the annulment suits virtually
had been selected Announcement
or their names probably will be
' deferred Until congress acts.
Coolldgd Was Warned
" On the floor of the senate
chamber Chairman Lenroot of the
oil Investigating committee reveal
ed that Mr. Coolidge had been in
formed in' advance of the sensa
tional testimony given a week ago
by Archiel Roosevelt relating to
charges of a $68,000 payment to
the foreman of Former Secretary
Fall's ranch.
Senator! Willis, republican, Ohio
1 then announced that on the, same
day Mr,'-.Fall, and bis foreman,
I' Thomas Johnson had been placed
"under surveillance by agents of
I the department of Justice who
'. were instructed to prevent their
departure from the country.
Advised that Mr. Fall was un
j able to jippear, before it today be-
cause of a, threatened nervous col
' lapse,' the oil committee decided to
examine his- physicians tomorrow
before deciding whether to ac
ceptan Invitation to question him
inlbis sick room.
Harding Defended
The ' senate's debate on politi
cal features of the oil disclosures
after centering most of the day
vabout Mr.-Coolidge and members
of his cabinet finally brought into
the discussion the name ot Presi
dent Harding. Defending Mr.
Harding for transferlngWe of the
reserves to thelnterior department
Mr. Willis declared that the, presi
dent, would not knowingly have
violated any law and the state
ment was accepted on the demo
cratic sidei

AT LAST! FACE OFi
COURT HOUSE CLOCK
IS MOW AT 1GHT
With one-fourth of the clock in the court house tower
illuminated last night dreams of years are about to Ixj
realized. The light was placed over the clock face on the
east side of the tower and in a day or so the other three faces
will also be illuminated.
Agitation for this illumination has been under way for
years. First one organization or club would conceive the idea
of putting the project over and then would abandon the idea.
Committees have been appointed with instructions to fulfill
promises and pledges but somehow before the wires were
strung and the electric light globes installed something would
happen and activity cease.
A few weeks, or perhaps it was months ago, the Kiwanis
club undertook to install the illumination. A committee head
ed by Fred Erixon was appointed and the matter practically
forgotten. Occasionally Mr. Erixon would be called upon at
a luncheon' to report. Invariably the reply was that "Pro
gress was being made." Final steps were taken this week
with the result that workmen were able to place one light
last night.

German Scientist Says Re

- Sure Remedy
BREMEN, Jan. 29. Uncondi
tional restoration of Germany's
colonies is the act "demanded by
the German Colonial society for a
new remedy for the prevention or
sleeping sickness.
The society expresses the belief
that Germany, in the remedy has a
powerful political weapon in hand
which Dlaces her in a. position to
force revocation of the colonial
mandates executed under the Ver
sailles treaty.
"Germany holds the key to Cen
tral Africa is the remedy," said
Dr. Zache, well known as a coloni
al expert. He expressed the be
lief that the remedy for sleeping
sickness and tsetes fever Is des
tined to convert central Africa into
a' prospereous, fertile country, in
habited by an industrious people.
"No colonies, no remedy" is the
defl hurled by Eduoard Achiles,
chairraan-of the Bremen section of
the German Colonial society. He
suspects that this stand may pro
voke the charge of inhumanity,
but he reminds his critics of the
allied "hunger blockade" and the
French Premier Clemenceau's dic
tum that "there were 20,000,000
too many Germans in the world."

To Be Divided Among Four

ward offered by Seattle school
teachers for the recovery of Nell
Austin, one of fcheir members,
who disappeared from her home
November 2." and was found in
Vancouver, B. C, November 28.
The division of the reward was
decided by Superior Judge Austin

to Patrolman R. H. Burnett and
$250 to Sergeant W. E. Carf and
Patrolman S. E. Jennings of the
Seattle police and $150 to B. R.
Davidson, a citizen of Vancouver.
The Seattle teachers offered

never been claimed.
Dr. Winship was in town and

J . .
Jury Deliberates One Hour
and Forty Minutes Before
Reaching Verdict .
NKW YORK, Jan. 2!K William
II. Anderson, state superintendent
of the Anti-Saloon league of N'ew
York tonight was convicted by a
supreme court jury on both counts
of an indictment charging him
with third degree forgery in con
nection with the 'spjitting'' of
commissions with a former league
fund solicitor.
Justice -Tompkins announced
Anderson would be sentenced Fri
day. Feb. 8. Bail of $5,000. in
which he has been at liberty since
the indictment, was continued. It
was understood an appeal would
be taken. The jury deliberated
one hour and 40 minutes.
To be; Sentenced F riday
The "dry leader may be sen
tenced to a prison term of from
two and pne-nalf to five years for
conviction under the third degree
forgery charge.
The verdict was not learned im
mediately by the expectant crowd
that leaned forward in strained
silence to catch the jury foreman's
words. His voice was so low that
it was not: heard until the court
clerk had " made them known by
the nature of his questions.
"What is your verdict, gentle
men?" he asked.
The answer was not audible be
yond the railing separating the
bench, jury and attorneys from
the audience, but Anderson, stand
ing tense behind his counsel, evi
dently correctly interpreted the
words that spelled defeat for his
long fight. But the crowd's eyes
were on the jury foreman and
they did not see Anderson.
"Do you find the defendant
guilty, as charged in the indict
ment?" the clerk drawled.
Again the answer was inaudible,
but the complete room knew now,
from the nature of the question,
that th "dry" crusader had been
declared guilty on both counts of
the indictment.
Xo Demonstration
There was no demonstration,
for the court before the jury had
filed into the box with its verdist
solemnly warned that any demon
stration would meet with instant
punishment for contempt
The jury discharged, there was
a departure from the usual pro
cedure. Anderson was not re
quired to answer the questions
usually put to convicted men as
to their age, occupation and vari
ous other items concerning them
selves. The brief Scene endjed
with the excited crowd surging
through the rooms. Anderson was
the last to leave. He walked rath
er dejected between two of his
lawyers, and was last seen with
them emerging from the shadow
cast by the grim Bridge of Sighs
that spans the street separating
the. court building from the
Tombs!
It could: not be learned tonight
whether Anderson would be tried
on the four indictments still pend
ing against him, charging grand
larceny and extortion. These in
dictments were based on the
"split" commission episode and on
Anderson's collection from the
league payments op. the $24,700
which he claims to have advanced
the organization for publicity pur
poses. "Stubb" Smith Will Be

NEW YORK, Jan. 20. A per

Carouse theater, a vaudeville and

rushing for the exits, a 'majority
of the 1200 persons in the audi

building without assurance from
the management that the price or
admission would be refunded.
Finally as the theater manager
argued with the crowd from the
stage, the smoke became so thick
that the crowd reluctantly aban
doned the demand for a refund
and filed through doors and fire
escapes to the street. The fire
damaged the property room and
the first floor of the theater.
