Sinelair for the great naval oil reserve. And in the course of a sensational speech, the Arkansas senator shouted: "Secretary Fall stands before the bar of public opinion indicted for the gravest crime a man can commit—treason!" "Without oil the American navy is like a painted ship upon a painted sea and Fall sold every drop of the reserve oil that the navy had." Caraway said.

Senator Lenroot, Republican of Wisconsin, chairman of the public lands committee, objected to immediate consideration of Caraway's motion and requested that it go over until tomorrow. "I do this," he explained, "in order that members of the senate may have time to advise themselves of the present status of the investigation by the committee. "I am sure that if the committee had brot in this resolution based on its investigation thus far we would have been severely condemned here and throut the country." One of the largest representations of senators this session sat in silence on the floor during Caraway's bitter assailment of the administration, Fall, and Secretary of the Navy Denby, for leasing the reserve. In a bellowing voice, the Arkansas senator pointed to the Republican side of the chamber and shouted: "And you will have to answer for this before the American people."
