EXPLODES A
Oil Magnate, Over Protests of
Attorneys, Declares That He
Leased Elk Hills Only When
Rear Admiral Robison Con
vinced Him War in the Pa
cific Was Near.
NEW YORK, July 1. The New
York Times today publishes a copy
right interview In which Edward L.
Doheny, giving his own story of the
navnl lenses, discloses what he Indi
cates has been regarded hitherto as a
01
great military sacret.
Hpeaklng at Los Angeles to a staff

counsel, the Times says, Mr. Doheny
, sald there never would have been an

tion of the Pearl Harbor naval oil
base had not Rear Admiral John K.
Robison, chief of the naval bureau of
engineering in Washington, convinced
mm mat a gerui war in me rucinc
V threatened the United States in 19 21
and that the proposed Hawaiian oil
f base was the one link in the defensive
'lain on which depended victory or
"eat for the United mates.
I . r. Doheny will go to trial in
jhhigton in October on, a charge
I ci-imlnal conspiracy with Albert B.
T all, former secretary of the interior
f in connection with the Elk Hills oil
J lease which the government in the
S Los Angeles federal court succeeded
l In invalidating.
A Military Sorrel
The story of naval officers' fears of
1 war in the Puciflc. Mr. Doheny says,
was contained in n deposition by Ad
miral Koblson put in evidence in tne
trials of the suits to annul the Teapot
Dome and Elk Hills lenses, but the
portion relating to the military sedret
was- stricken out. In this connection
Secretary Wilbur, subpoenaed to pro
duce certain documents, sent o certifi
cate that It would be against the na
tional interest to do so, .Mr. Doheny
said.
He called attention to remarks by
Judge Keniedy In the Teapot Dome
decision that there Was no further
need for secrecy.
, "Robison called to my mind the
mVrors of the invasion of Belgium,"
MiV.Doheny said. "With a force I
shal! never forget, ho asked me to
visualize the result of even a tempor
ary alien Invasion of the Pacific
coast. .
"He stnrtled me with Information
fc'jj regal Ulllg ui-uvra !
; given to foreign war vessels and even
to merchant ships in the Pacific for
J their mobilization on incredibly short
notice. He pointed out that modern
warfare had reduced the efficiency of
coast defenses so that they were no
longer to be relied on. He told me
that In nn attnek on this country by a
navy in the Pacific dorout was sure to
come to our fleet unless there was an
ndeuuate nuval oil reserve In Hawaii.
"He said every responsible nail
officer in Washington hod received
confidential bulletins which disclosed
I that the oil reserves of u great naval
4 power In the Puciflc wore adequute
for war.
"He called my attention to the fnct
m that there still existed n well-known
..ntw hatwnati thin irfen t Pacific na
tion and the must powerful nation of
the world."
J- Highly Confidential
' Mr. Doheny said that everyone who
had been Informed of this situation
.had been warned of its highly confi
dential and secret character because
'of fear that the arms conference, then
In session at Washington might be
wrecked by revelation of plans for a
r! naval base In Hawaii,
if Mr. Doh?ny further discloses, the
f Times says, that the famous executive
order of President Harding which
f guVe to the interior' department ad-
naval oil reserves, was suggested by
Mr. Fall, and the then secretary of
the navy, Mr. Denby.
Mr. Doheny was forbidden by coun
sel to discuss the flQO.OOO loan he
ma to Secretary Fall and the letters
slgried by Mr. Fall in which the latter
wrote that the loan had been obtained

o
Federal Officers Believe Search
for 'Wolf of LaSalle St' Will
Be a Long One Mud Bath
Ruse Deceives Sleuths
Appeal to Mexican Governor
SAN DIKCIO, Cnl., July 1. (A. P.)
Federal officers today Indicated
their belief that the newest search
for John H. Worthington, known us
the "Wolf of LaSallo Street," who
faces a term In Atlanta federal
prison, would he a long one.
Reports gathered at Ensenada, In
Lower Culfornia, to which Worth
ington went several days ago, led
those seeking him to believe that he
had started on an ocean trip to
Europe where he la supposed to
have sufficient funds in bank to
keep him going ahead of pursuers
for some time.
Word brought back to San Dlcgo
by the latest party, to neck Worth
ington is that he left Ensenada Inst
lOHK W. WOK-f U iNHrTOwTj
Saturday. He was in n hotel under
guard of Mexican officers. Before
that he hud been at Punta Banda,
whe're he was ostensibly seeking
relief in mud baths. It Is said that
when American federal officers lo
cated him there, he exclaimed:
"You thought I was running
away didn't you? Well, I
simply came here to take the
mud baths."
unn,...lt nf Wnrthincton's baggage
is said to have been stopped by the
chief of police of Ensenada. There-1
upon tho head of the American party
went to see tne mrxi.-un
at Mexican, a ride of several hours.
If he got any assistance there he has
not reported the fact here.
That Worthlngton has a large de
posit of cash in Italy Is said to be
well known by his friends, as is also
the fact that he has other large sums
at hand in various parts of the Unit
ed States. So certain were the mem
bers of tho searching party of Wor
thlngton's ability to take care of
himself financially at any time or
In any crisis that they declared that
he is one of the few men In the
world who can command 1100,000 in
cash at practically the very instant
he needs it.

Story.
.SANTA RARRA RA, Cal.. July
Four hundred United Slates marines-'
will arrive here early tomorrow to
undertake guard duties In the quake
stricken 2oneH of Santa Barbara,
Marine Captain J. F. Morlarlty at
present commanding a supplementary
squad, announced early today.
Arrangements were completed by
marine radio with the base at San
Diego, Captain Morlarlty said, and he
believed the forces would entrain for
Santa Barbara at once, under orders
of Admiral Robison, commander In
chief of the Pacific fleet.
The advent of the marines said
Mayor C. M. Andera, who appealed to
the naval authorities for the forces,
will centralize guard control efforts
and a material aid to the recon
struction forces. i
Another important factor to the
welfare of the residents of the strick
en zone were contained In , the an
nouncement of City Manager Herbert
Nunn that un official test of the city's
water supply has proved It pure and
uncuntamlnated by the earth distur
bance. (Herbert Nunn was formerly
state highway engineer of Oregon.)
The only curtailment on the use of
water, Nunn said. Is a ban on irriga
tion for . a few days until storage fa
cilities are Improved. The system
suffered only nominal damage In
Monday's earth shook. One reservoir
and a few lesser mains were' Injured '
but the city's major source of supply,
a huge artificial lake behind Gibral
tar dam on the Santa Ynez river, was
unhnmed, Nunn said, after an official
survey.
Ten people have lost their lives in
the i earthquake, described nn the
heaviest ever to visit the Pacific
coast. Five major shocks have been
recorded since the first tremhlor on
Monday, but throughout the time
there huve been slight, almost imper
ceptible shocks of nearly a score.
No exact estimate of the loss htis
been announced hut It Is described aH
bctweun $20,000,000 and $25,000,000.;
A graphic eyewitness account of
the antics of the earthquake In' the
mountain regions wus brought ' to
Santa Barbara last night by J. M.
McAvoy, owner of a quicksilver mine
on the Santa Ynez river.
"We were nt breakfast when the
first shake occurred," he said. "Our
table seemed lifted from the floor,
nearly turning a somersault and
scrambling the breakfast on the floor.
"Tho floor seemed tilted at an
angle of 35 degrees und then Bwung
like a pendulum buck In the opposite
direction. We rushed, or rnther stag
gered from the house and some of my '
companions were thrown to their '
hands and knees by the impact of the '
shock.
"As I looked out across the range
of mountains, they swayed percept
ibly. A great dust cloud was thrown '
up by the agitation, accompanied by a
deep rumbling roar, almost sickening
in no iiui-iiBiiy.
