TEA POT DOME POSTMASTER GENL i03 MlElIf
f LEASE GOOD ONE WANTS IRE DATA iHtEHd SHE WANTS TO
FOR GOVERNMENT
V CASPER, . Wyoming, Mnr. 3.
(Special.) Anent the Teapot Dome
excitement, H. C. Chappell, of Casper,
Wyo., han written a letter in part as
(oIJowr:
"Our little Teapot seenm to be mak
ing quite A fuss at AVaahinffton. To
those of us out. here it is plain that
Fall made one good leane for the
government When he contracted with
Sinclair. I think there is not a lease
In the state where the royalties are
so favorable to the owner as In the
case of Teapot. It la also a dead sure
thing that the irovernment would have
had no oil at All should development
of Teapot bcn delayed any great
length of time. .Teapot as an oil pro
ducer In and Has been a disappoint
ment, fn addition to a cranking good
leane so far ad the government is con
cerned, Sinclair Increased the price of
all government oil in this state by put
ting it In direct competition with the
Mid-Continent prices, which had nev
er been done until he came In here.
I am betting seven dollars to a hole in
ifoughnut that Harry Sinclair will
be tickled pink if he can return Tea
pot to tho government for tho actual
ra-th ho has spent out here in its de
velopment. If Fall got any graft out
of the deal, which so far has failed
of any proof, he ought to be put In the
penitentiary, but the senate should lay
off trying to cancel that lease. It's a
lucky thing for Casper that the lease
was let to someone who. had money to
develop it. Had the procedure of
selling that structure in small lots to
the highest bidders been adopted, a
lot of little financial men would have
gotten those small parcels, and en
deavored to develop them. It would
have required financial help from the
banks here who would have lonned
more money on the. touted potential
possibilities of Teapot than the actual
roiults would haVe justified, with a
dlaUrous result .o the whole state.
As the thing turned out it was a
great benefit to the city of Casper, tho
state of Wyoming and the United
States government. I Imagine Doheny
Is also sick of the deal he got and Is
quite willing to turn it baok to the
government. In case , either one or
both of these leases Are turned back
to the government It will result in the
same disaster that ' has overtaken
every other government enterprise In
the business world."

ON WAGE RAISE
WASHINGTON, March 3. Sub
mission to some general body such
as a congrensmnnl commission of all
proposals affecting Increases in sala
ries and changes In conditions of em
ployment involving Increases in pay
for postal service workers was recom
mended by Postmaster General Harry
S. New to Chairman Grist of the post-
otnee committee of the nous in a let
ter made public today. .... ...r...
Mr. New pointed out that there are
more than fifty postal bills pending in
congress and it was probable a re
adjustment for the whole, service
along lines provided in the bills would
involve an increase annually of $150,
000,000. In addition, he said, there
are several bills proposing a reduc
tion of postage rates. - ,
Certain classes of employes are not
provided for In the hills. Mr. New
bald and readjustment of salaries
must necessarily include tho whole
postal establishment.
Tho postmaster general said the
deficit for the present fiscal year is I
estimated at $30,000,000. Suggestions
that the Increases could be met by
a revision of postage rates, especially
upon fourth class (parcel post) mat-,
ter, he asserted, were not based on
reliable information which would Jus
tify them.
Readjustment of salaries, ho de
clared, should not be made until It
possible to determine their relation
to postage rates. . "
C. i. Frnneisaus, -president- of the
United Association of Postal Clerks,
declared the clerks should not be dis
heartened over reports of opposition
by President Coolidge as well as Mr.
New to salary increases at this tiqie.
Postal salaries need not be paid
from tax revenues, Mr. Franeiscus in
sisted with reference to the president's
objections, but should be provided
through a revision of prstal rates,
especially on parcel post matter,
which, ho asserted, "are absurdly
low," as compared with express
charges. . , ,
Georgia- Minstrels Tomorrow
For singing nnd dancing none can

the cream of the colored talent h"a
been brought into the Famous Geor
gia Minstrels, at least this company
has established Itself as a top liner
attraction and is not thought of as a
"nigger show" It being in tho sume
class and charactor ns any white min
strel, unless it be that it is superior,
and the white people appreciating the
efforts of these deserving people aro
very liberal in their patronage.
So far this season, reports verify
(he fact that five nights out of the

BRUSSELS, Mar. 3. Cardinal
Mercier has issued a pastoral which
alludes to the after-war disappoint
ments, Including the general Impover
ishment of Europe nnd the gathering
of great fortunes by the profiteers.
He denounces Germany for her
"evil determination" not to pay tho
allies, for organizing fictitious bank
ruptcy, making any generous move
on the part of the victors out of the
question and for provoking perturba
tions, responsibility for which she
falsely placed upon tho allied governments.

j Mncdonnld expresses hope that the
report of tho expert committees on
German reparations will draw Franco
:and Kngland together. Jf cooperation
can be reached, he says, "it will b
possiblo for us to approach the United
f States, not as debtors disputing one
; with the other, but as a united Europe
'anxious by mutual sacrifire and ar

our people are now suffering."
Premier Poincare characterizes as
"mistaken" those Englishmen who
believe that Franco dreams of tho
political or economic annihilation of
Germany disclaiming a spirit of mili
tarism on the part of France, ho says:
"Are there really Englishmen who
suppose that Franco would bo, cap
able of making fratricidal prepara
tions against their country? Our mili
tary and aerial establishments are
exclusively designed to defend us
against attempted Gorman revenge.
"It is infinitely to be desired." he
agreed, "that the questions of inter
allied debts and reparations should be
settled at the same time."
