CLAIM SECRETARY
HALTED EVIDENCE
DEFENSE IN FALL-DOHENY
TRIAL SUMMON WILDER
Court to Consider Whether Doc
ument Shall Go Before Jury
in Case
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. (AP)
The defense today drew Secre
tary of the Navy Wilbur Into the
Fall-Doheny criminal conspiracy
trial.
They accused the secretary in
open court of seeking to restrict
the testimony of a retired naval
officer and produced what they
said was an official order to prove
it.
. Whether the document is to go
before the jury was still undecid
ed when court adjourned tonight,
but Mr. Wilbur will be put on the
witness stand tomorrow or Mon
day. He declined tonight to fore
cast what his testimony would be.
Frank J. Hogan, chief counsel
for the defense, presented the
document during examination of
Rear Admiral J. K. Robison, re
tired, former chief of the bureau
of engineering, when the witness
refused to answer questions con
cerning the strategic importance
of the Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, naval
base.
Albert B. Fall, former secretary
of the interior and Edward L.
Doheny. lessee of the Elk Hills re
serve, are charged with criminal
conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment in the negotiations which led
to the lease and the award to
Doheny's company of an oil stor
age contract at Pearl Harbor.
Admiral Robinson, one of th
principal defense witnesses, .was
called for questioning as to the
part the navy took in the nego
tiations. As special representative
of Edwin Denby, the secretary of
the navy at the time, he said he
was charged with all negotiations
involving the navy's interest, and
in that capacity was conversant
with virtually every step in the
conversations which culminated in
the leases and contracts awarded
Doheny!s Pan-American Petroleum
and Transport company.
When Hogan questioned Robi
son as to the official status of the
Pearl Harbor base in tbe war
plans division of the navy de
partment, the witness refused to
answer.
"Have you received any orders
from the navy department?" Ho
gan asked,
Yes."
."Produce it."
Robison , refused. . but finally
handed a paper to Justice Hoeh
ling, presiding.
"I see no need of publishing
that," the court said.
The matter then was taken un
der advisement,-following govern
ment objection to Hogan's tender
of the document, in evidence.
The Wilbur flurry was the cli
max of a laborious day which put
before the jury evidence that both
sides averred supported their case.
OFFICERS ARREST BOYS
ALBERT TOZIER CLAIMS RE
LICS STOLEN FROM HOME
PORTLAND, Ore.. Dec. 3.
(AP) A dozen boys, ranging in

with entering his home while he
and his family were away and
rummaging through his effects,
scattering ' rare old papers from
which he hoped tp publish a his
tory of Oregon, and carrying off
old daguerrotypes and relics which
have been in the Tozier family

IPERILED BY
PENDING BILLS
Whole Future of National
Conservation Jeopardized
Says Secretary
LIBERAL GRANTS MADE
N. J. Sinnott, Chairman of Lands
Committee, Told of Royal
ties From Leases
WASHINGTON. Dec. 3. (AP).
A warning to congress to judge
sharply in weighing the question
whether guardianship of natural
resources of the United States
should be turned over to the
states was delivered today by Sec
retary Work.
Writing to Chairman Sinnott of
the house public lands committee,
the interior secretary placed a
value of $13,697,500,000 on the
domain which proposed legislation
would entrust entirely or in part
to the sovereign states. The pend
ing bills, he warned, jeopardized
the whole future of national con
servation. The program worked out in the
administration of President Roos
evelt, said Dr. Work, provided
that 52 per cent of the receipts
under the leasing laws should fi
nance reclamation in western
states. He estimated that since
1902 more than $200,000,000 had
been spent to reclaim vast areas
and that $90,000,000 was required
to complete existing projects.
Disappearance of royalties to the
government from leases on the
public domain, be added, would
leave the program without finan
cial support.
"Whether "these" resources
should be retained, conserved, and
developed for the general good
under the policies already adopt
ed, or whether they should be
turned over to the states, to be
disposed of or ,Jhajidied-,-"pw1thtut'i
any uniform policy and according
to local view or individual ca
price," the secretary asserted, "is
a question which , should receive
careful consideration by;congress.
"It has been the practice of
congress to make liberal grants to
states for the support or endow
ment of schools and other institu
tions', to. railroads to encourage
the building of transportation
lines, and various other grants
designed to aid cr encourage de
sirable enterprises. In such
grants it has been the general pol
icy to reserve known minerals."

TURKEY HUNTING
SOON FOR OREGON
GAME WARDEN REPORTS SUC
CESSFUL YEAR
Protection and Propagation oT
Game Comes Before Next
Meeting
That the state game commission
is just completing one of the most
successful years in itsexistence
was evident in the meeting of the
Salem Rod and Gun club held at
the Marion hotel last evening fol
lowing a get-together banquet at
which the state warden and sev
eral members of the commission
were present.
Ed. Averill, state game warden,
told of two measures that he ad
vocated for the coming legislature
to act upon. First that the restric--tion
on deer changed 40 male deer
with forked horns and second that
the pheasant season be limited to
a 30 day season with only eight
open days, Sundays and Wednes
days of each week.
Averill pointed to other im
provements in the came depart
ment which have been found suc
cessful. The most outstanding
probably is the decision of the
commission to plant in streams
only trout that have become five
or more inches in length instead
of the usual two and three inch
trout.
The state hatcheries have In
stock now 14,000.000 fish which
will lie held over till spring for
release at which time they will be
large enough to tare for them
selves. The commission has also
been experimenting with wild tur
keys in southern Oregon particu
larly in Curry county and have
found great success and Mr. Aver
ill promised the club that in a few
years turkey hunting in Oregon
would become a reality.
Thomas Kay presided over the
meeting and mentioned the next
meeting of the club which will be
held Tuesday at -which time defin
ite action would be formulated
tor the protection and propagation
of state same and "objectives to
be presented before, the legisla
ture. The two suggestions by Mr.
Averill are to be among the pro
posed remedies.

New Bedford
BOSTON, Dec. 3. (AP). As
the wintry gale that had lashed
the north Atlantic for 4 8 hours
moderated tonight, battered ship
ping along the coast line from
Newfoundland to Nantucket re
mained to bear witness to its
fury.-. Two large steamers were
aground, one on little Miquelon
island and the other in Sydney,
N. S., harbor; two disabled
schooners were lying in Massa
chusetts waters, and an unknown
motorboat, reported adrift off
Nauset last night, had not been
found.
The crew of the German steam
er Totila. which grounded on little
Miquelon island yesterday morn
ing, tonight were camped on the
beach at White Sails, a fishing
settlement of the island, awaiting
fair weather for an attempt to
salvage the vessel. The British
steamer Hindustan, engaged In
the coal carrying trade between
Sydney, N. S., and British ports,
was hard aground in Sydney har
bor, but apparently in no danger.
The four masted Boston schoon
er Horace A. Stone, which was re
ported in distress off Chatam last
night with both anchors gone,
sails gone and holds partly flood
ed, drifted during the night to a
point 45 miles southeast of Nan
tucket lightship. She was sighted
today by the British steamer City
of Melbourne, Hamburg for New
York. The coast guard cutter
Acushnet, which put to her assist
ance, was crippled in the battle
with the gale and put into New
Bedford for repairs, and the de
stroyer Burrows went to the
schooner's rescue.
The British four masted scheen
er White Belle, also a victim of
the gale, tonight was riding at
anchor off Chatam. Her sails
were blown away and she will be
assisted to Vineyard Haven for a

Drainage of the southeastern
section of Salem was the -subject
of a general mass meeting heldin
the chamber of commerce rooms
last night, which was attended by
more than 100 interested parties.
The recent heavy rains caused a
general flooded condition in this
part :of the city from which the
citizens are seeking some relief.
The drainage section in ques
tion was created by-en act of the
legislature and is called the Salem
Drainage district. The drainage
code provides that each acre in the
section shall represent one vote
and the owners of 10 city lots like
wise have one vote. This means
that the farmers living outside tha
city limits were able to pool their
votes and. although being in the
mitfority as far as number;) were
concerned, actually coEtrol the Sit

7. 1925. a meeting was held and
the following elected: F. W. Dnr

A general discussion was held
last night concerning the flooded
condition and the poor drainage.
Mr. Tibbetts, Mr. Herrick, Mr.

they were glad that they could be
