PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
REFUSES TO PARDON
ALMA WURTZBARGER
Mrs. Alma Wurtzbarger's plea to the president of the
United States that she be pardoned from the Oregon state
prison, where she is serving a ten-year sentence as a federal
prisoner for the murder of her husband, has been denied by
President CooHdge and the department of justice has dis
missed the case, according to information received by Warden
A. M. Dalrymple from federal authorities at Washington,
D. C.
Mrs. Wurtzbarger and friends working in her behalf
I made the plea for her pardon
health. There was opposition to this, however, particularly
from the Spanish war veterans, of whom her husband was
a member.
Mrs. Wurtzbarger killed her husband with a hammer
while he slept at their home on the government grounds at
Chemawa. Her story of threats made by her husband against
her life proved to be of much weight in the legal proceedings
following her arrest.

The injunction and receivership
were granted ' by Judge Kennedy
after a preliminary hearing which
followed the filing of the bill in
equity In which the government
alleges false representations "Tn"
the transfer of the Teapot Dome
reserve from the navy to the in
terior department and also char
ges fraud in the execution of the
lease to the Sinclair interests.
Besides the temporary Injunc
tion and receivership the govern
ment in Its complaint asks that
the court enter a final decree can
celling the leases and contracts
returning the property to the gov
ernment and enforcing accounting
No date was set for further
hearing on the request for a final
decree opposing attorneys taking
the stand that the involved na
ture of the action made it impos
sible a,t this time to say when they
wouldibe prepared to continue the
case- Judge Kennedy granted
the defendants 30. days to file
their pleadings in the case.
The complaint was filed shortly
before 10 o'clock by Atlec Poinc-
reno and Owen J. Roberts, special
government counsel, and Albert

ceiver. Receivers Xaincd
J. W. Lacy of Cheyenne. :-prak-ing
in bohalf of the Sinclair in
tercuts, answered that his clients
were neither "consenting nor ob
jecting" to the appointment of a
rereiver but were suggesting a
joint receivership in which both
the plafntifr and t he defendant
would he represented, lie declar
ed that the Sinclair interests
suit for annulment on the claim
would base their defence in the
that the Teapot Dome lease was
legal and valid and that their sug
cstion for a receivership was
merely In order that all interests
could be. protected. Mr. Laccy
then named Mr. Watts as the de
fendants' choice fo. receiver Judge
Kennedy then ruled in favor of the
joint receivership. Neither party
objected to the candidate for re
ceivership named by opposing at
torneys. I'ipe line and storage
facilities of the Sinclalr s Pipe
Line company and the Sinclair
Crude Oil Purchasing company lo
cated on the Teapot Dome reserve
are excluded from the control of

onlers are Issued.
In requesting that these prop

JUDGE WILBUR
WILL SUCCEED
EDWIN DENBY
California Jurist Accepts Sec
retary of the Navy Posi
tion in Cabinet
SAX FRANCISCO, March 13.
Curtis D. Wilbur, chief justice of
the California supreme court, an
nounced tonight that he had re
ceived a telegram from President
Coolidge tendering him the office
of secretary of the navy, made
vacant by the resignation of Edwin
Dcnby, and that he had accepted.
Justice Wilbur said he tele
graphed to President Coolidge that
she would arrange to . como to
Washington as soon as his ap
pointment was confirmed by the
senate.
Chief Justice Wilbur has been
one of California's leading lawyer-jurists
many years. He is
known especially well for his work
In behalf of child welfare, bdth
as an official and as a citizen.
While he was Judge of the su
perior court In Los Angeles he or
ganized the , juvenile court there
and dratted several bills which lat
er formed the basis of California's
juvenile court law. The judge
also is prominent ag a Sunday
school worker.
Judge Wilbur was born in
Boonesboro, Iowa, May 10, 1S67,
and wes educated at the public
schools there. He attended high
school at Jamestown, N. D. He
graduated from the United States
naval academy at Annapolis in
June 1888. Later he studied. law
and began his practice in Los An
geles.
WASHINGTON, March 13;
President Coolidge's tender of the
navy secretaryship was declined
today by Federal Judge William
S. Kenyon and the chief executive
prepared to offer the portfolio to
Chief Justice Curtis D. Wilbur of
the California supreme court.
Judge Kenyon, himself, an
nounced the declination, declaring
in a formal statement that he
could not escape the conclusion
that he did not possess "the essen
tial qualifications or training for
the office.";
Chief Justice Wilbur, although
identified with the legal profes
sion practically all of his life as
Judge Kenyon has been, would,
in the opinion of the president,
be able to adapt himslf to the
task of administering naval af
fairs because of his acquaintance
ship with the navy resulting from
his course at the naval academy,
where he was graduated In J.888.
He is understood to be the presi
dent's first choice for attorney
general should that place be va
cated by Harry M. Daughcrty and
for that reason was not first con
sidered for tho navy post.

ter the reserve had been leased to
Harry F. Sinclair, ws character-,
izd by Senator Walsh of Mon

war in 19114 he 'cither saw or
telephoned Sinclair, asking that
he employ Archie.
"What was his salary?" asked
Senator Dill, democrat, Washing
ton. "Ten thousand dollars a year at
the start," said Secretary noosr
velt. "I think that was increased
to $1G.000 later on."
Secretary Roosevelt told the
committee that his order for the
marines to elear Teapot Dome had
been Issued at tho request of Al
bert H. Fall, then secretary of the
interior, under what he understood
was an agreement between Fall
and President Harding.

Had Lots of Whiskey
WASHINGTON. March 13
More "deals" of a highly sensa
tional nature all represented as
Involving Attorney General Daugh
crty were alleged today before
tho senate investigating commit
tee. Again Miss Roxie Stinson,
divorced wife of the late Jess W
Smith of Washington Courthouse,
Ohio, the attorney general's
"bumper and friend," was the wit
ness relating, with accompanying
insinuation -and inference, stories
which she said Smith bad confided
to her about "deal3" in which
Smith and the attorney general
were engaged. She was accom
panled by bodyguards.
These "deals," according to Miss
Stinson's testimony, ran the gamut
from oil to shirts, and included
prize fight films, whiskey, varidus
stocks, and a parole for a federal
convict.
Fight Pictures Stake
The most specific allegation in
her testimony was that Smith had
told her he was acting as a go-;
between for Attorney General;
Daugherty and certain motion pic
ture companies seeking to exhibit
the Carpentier-Dempsey tight" pic
tures without incurring prosecu
tion under the law which forbids
transportation of such films in in
terstate commerce.
Smith told her. she testified,1
that the "dear proposed that;
Daugherty would see to it that
there was no prosecution and in
return ''we" (Daugherty and
Smith) would receive $180,000.
"Whether that was consummat
ed or not, I do not know," she
said.
From that Miss Stinson's testi
mony jumped to another "deal"
which Smith, she said, told her,
was on between Daughcrty and
Colonel" James G. Harden, said to
be president of the Mutual Oil
company. Dardert was prominent
in the Harding entourage when
the late president came to office,
but later disappeared from Wash
ington. Darden's name also has
figured in the Teapot Dome in
quiry. The senate committee in
vestigating that affair has been
attempting for a month to serve
a summons on him without avail.
Darden. said Miss Stinson. had
been, according to Smith, "try
ing to get through some liases
some way through wasningion
prior to this administration."
Houses Invotvrd
As the result of conferences at
the mysterious "Little green
house in K street." Washington
and the "shack" near Washington
Courthouse, owned jointly by
Smith, Daugherty and others,
Smith and Daugherty cch gave
Darden $2400 for investment, ac
cording to the story which Miss
Stinson said Smith related to her
Then, according to the same
f tory, tfin details of which she did

had told her: "If this isn't a pipe
dream it may probably make us A
lot of money."
"What brought this about."
said Miss Stinson, "was that Dar
den did not measure up."
"Measure up to what?" de
manded Senator Ashurst.
"To them. They just dropped
him."
The committee decided to add
its efforts to the oil committee's
in, the attempt to subpoena Dar
den. Parole Sought
From, that point the testimony
jumped to an alleged "deal" to
get a parole for a "Mr. Solomon,"
a brother-in-law of Joe Weber, the
actor. Miss Stinson testified that
she wa in Now York with Smith
when they met Weber. .Smith and
tho actor, 'sb said, discussed the
possibilities of getting a parole for
Solomon. The conversation she
said "was about fixing ' it with
Daugherty."
