The govornor In tho courso of his

the state prohibition forces constitute

"VTe claim tho fight," ho said, "to

"One of the greatest obstacles to

other part of his address, "are those
officials who are In sympathy with

that It Is reported many sheriffs, con
stables and police officers of this good

If this Is true, they are not In a po

ORIGINAL STORY
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. When
the senate oil committee resumed its
h curing today, G. T. Stanford, one of
tho Sinclair attorneys, produced the
not which J. W- Zevley testified yes
terday that At U. Full had given him
an evidence of the $25,000 Liberty
bond loan made him by Hurry Sin
clair. The note was dated May 28,
1923.
Mr. 'Archie Itooscveft repeated
under examination today his declara
tion of last Monday that G. D. Wahl
bcrg, Sinclair's private secretary, had
told him ho had seen cancelled checks
of tho Hyva corporation, a Sinclair
Teapot company for $68,000 mado
out to tho foreman of Fall's ranch In
New Mexico,
Wahlberg Intimated, he said, that
Sinclair had departed for Europe hur
riedly because of the Teapot investi
gation. The private secretary also
inquired of him, Roosevelt added, how
far ho thought his loyalty to his
chief ought to go.
Replying to further questions of
Senator Smoot, Roosevelt reiterated
his previous statements ubout the two
long distanco telephone conversations
he had with Wahlberg last Monday
morning on which his brother, Theo
doro, assistant secretary of tho navy,
listened In.
Repudiated Statement.
In tho first convocation at 5:30
a. m., tho witness said, Wahlberg con-;
firmed tho original statement about
the $08,000 in cancelled checks drawn
to Thomas Johnson, forcmnn of the
Foil ranch.
Wahlberg cnlled Roosevelt up again
at 7:30 a. m., tho witness said and
said he had been misunderstood about
the checks. I
"Ho asked mo what I waB going,
lo say about it and I told him 1 1
would have to tell tho facts," said
Roosevelt.
"I told him that whatever he did
to como down horo and tell tho truth.
He said: 'You bet I will.' I asked aro
you scarod? Ho said, 'yes, I am
uwfully scared,' and I said I was too." !
A roar of laughter in which tho
witness joined, swept tho crowded
committee room.
, Questioned by Senntor Walsh, dem-l
ocrat, Montana, Roosevelt paid his of
ficial position with tho Sinclair com
panies had been "nominal." i
"How did you como to ho employed
by Sinclair?" asked Senator Walsh.
"I had been working for a carpot '
company,' Roosevelt said. "Then tho
war came, and I came back and I
asked my brother where I could get
a job. He suggested several banks,
hut I was feeling rather sick and
wanted something that would tako
mo around tho world.
"My brother said ho had worked
for an oil company and he would ask
a chap about a job for mo. Ho guvo
mo a lotter to Mr. Sinclair and ho
gave mo a job."
Archie's Wife Sceptical.
Roosevelt was cross-examined by
G. T. Stanford, counsel for Sinclair.
iHe said he and Mrs. Roosevelt had
met Wahlberg at Baltimore last Mon
day when tho latter was coming hero
from New York to testify.
i Tho conversation revolved around
the $68,000 cancelled checks the wit
noss said. Wahlberg repeated his
7:30 statement that he did not say
ho had such checks, Roosevolt said.
"You said that you and your wlfo
would testify ho hud said so " he was
asked.
"Yes sir."
"And tho public would believe you
and not him?" pursued Stanford.
"No, sir. my wife said something
about the public not believing me."
"Then, your wife had some sus
picion about you?" asked Stanford.
"Oh, she's always suspicious of me,'
Roosevelt said, amid a roar of laugh
tor.
"I trust that suspicion Is not Just!

"I always do my level best."
E WORST
HISTORY OF TRADE
MANCHKKTKR. Jan. The serious
state uf tho cotton trade in Knglund
was mentioned by Sir Charles Mitcara.
a forum Chairman of tho Committee
of tho International Federation of
Master Cotton Hplnncrs ami Manufac
turers' association, in an address to
tho Provisional Emergency Cotton
commltti'o hero.
Ho stated that for moro than three
years a largo number of mills had
shown no return whatever to those
who had Invested their money In
them, and extra capital was being
called up, only to be dissipated owing
to the Inactivity and want of unani
mity among those who controlled the
employers' organization. Tho effeuf.'
both on Ijincashlro and the country
generally was most disastrous. This
was shown In the revenue returns Just
issued. It being stated that there was.
up to tho present, a deficiency of
$.50,000,000.
Unless this great loss was stopped
by getting theV 'cotton trade on a
profitable basis again, ho concluded.
it was difficult to see how the defic
iency could bo made good beforo the
end of tho present financial year.

FRESHMEN BEAT

BY 4320 SCORE
EUGENE, Ore., Jan. 26. (Special)
The Medford high school basketball
team was defeated Friday evening by
a score of 43-20 by the Oregon Frosh
flvo beforo a large crowd In the men's
gym. Tho five man defense of tho
Oregon freshmen and tho Inability of
tno Modtorel team to "hit Its usual
stride" according to "manager" Mi
lano Jacobs, were tho factors largely
responsible for the defeat.
Several of tho high school players
wno bad never faced college fresh
men before gave an overawed and
fidgety appearance during the first
half and repeatedly lost the ball for
too many steps.
Jn tho second half, wfth Allen as
the pivot of the offense, Medford
sprung three or four fast and smooth
team plays, but most of the time the
cioso and efficient checking of the
frosh kept them working hard to keep
tho bull in their own territory with
tree ciiances to shoot as scarce
hair on a billiard ball.
In the first half Medford made ton
points wlillo tho frosh were makln
24.
In tho second hnlf Medford 'again
recorded ten markers and held the
Frosh to 19, due to some of tho
members of the team recovering from

game somewhat and neither displayed
consistent golf.
Sarazen's game was steadier than
that of Havers' play on the green,
although the latter outdrove him con
siderably during tho afternoon round,
encountering dfficulty on his ap
proaches and in his putts.
Sarazen's card for the 36 holes was
161 and Havers' 153.
The most dazzling shot of the day
was made by Sarazen on the 11th
green In the afternoon round when he
pitched over a pool of water -with a
mashie and sank his ball for the hole.
The morning round he made a birdie
four on the 13th hole with a 50 foot
putt, Havers' most sensational green
shot was on the seventh hole in the
afternoon round when he dropped
35-foot putt for a birdie three.
Neither champion rose to any great
height otherwise on the green, how
ever, and both were In troublo at
times on the fnlrway owing to hooks
or slices In their drives which gave
them bad lies in traps and bunkers.
At the opening of tho afternoon
round, which he started two down to
his American rival, Havers displayed
improvement in his driving and cut
down his opponent s lead. As the
mutch progressed, however, Sarazen's
work on the greens began to ten and
Havers Boon dropped behind again.
Only once during the match, .on the
seventh hole In tho morning round,
was Havers up on Sarazen and he held
the advantage only for n brief time.
Despite the downpour, which cover

fairway and greens and in the traps

SUCCESS-By Sec'y Mellon
Every boy and girl must have certain assets to achieve success not material assets alone,
but assets of character, and among the most important of these are ambition, industry, person
ality and thrift. Ambition is the will to attain something. More wishes accomplish little
Without the aid of earnest application and industry. To save part of what one earns is
another vital element in a successful life. Savinys are not only insurance against the turns of
fortune but also a means of seizing golden opportunities which are so often lost through the
lack of a small amount of capital. There is no easy road or short-cut to success. It
means constant hard work and saving, and many sacrifices, but it is really worth them all
through the ultimate feeling of accomplishment and the lasting happiness which it brings to
its possessor.
