SINCLAIR IN NO NURRY TO COME BACK (Continued from page one) got to wait for the senate's investigation to close—he can go ahead right now and get this reserve back for the navy. "If congress wants the courts to decide the legality of these contracts the surest way to get that done would be to pass a resolution cancelling the lenses," said Caraway. "That will get the deal into court at once, for as soon as he gets over his scare, Sinclair will come back from Europe to defend the loot he bought. If he is still afraid to come back he will hire a lawyer to take his case into court." Caraway attacked Fall for patenting sections 16 and 26 in the Elk Hills reserve to the Standard Oil Co. of California. "Fall held a private hearing in the department, without any evidence that anybody but an attorney for the Standard Oil Co., spoke, he patented the land to the company," he said. "Fall also entered into a secret contract with Doheny for drilling defensive wells to prevent drainage which later turned out to be a contract for exploiting the whole reserve." "Did the secretary of the navy sign the transfer to the interior department?" interrupted McKel. JULIAN HASN'T ANYTHING TO SAY LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23.—The formal signed statement of Chas. Chaplin, screen comedian, that C. C. Julian, So. Calif. oil promoter, was the man with whom he was involved in a fracas in a Hollywood cafe Sunday night, and the declarations of Mildred Harris, Chaplin's former wife, and Peggy Browne, film actress, cafe employees and others that Julian was "the man," was today greeted by the oil man with a chuckle, as he said: "Well, I guess I haven't anything to say." Hitherto Julian has vehemently denied he had been involved in the fistluff rumpus with the actor. At the time of the encounter Chaplin foored his assailant. Nat Arlock, owner of the cafe, substantiated Chaplin's version of the row, and declared that C. C. Julian was the comedian's opponent. PROBLEMS FACE NEW GOVERNMENT By DAVID M. CHURCH (L.N.S. Staff Correspondent) LONDON, Jan. 23.—Premier Ramsay MacDonald's labor cabinet held its first formal meeting this afternoon to formulate policies. Most of the laborites appeared in frock coats and silk hats, having cast off their derbys as undignified. It was announced the railroad strike was discussed at length. LONDON, Jan. 23.—England's first labor government under the Stewardship of J. Ramsay MacDonald, began to function today under circumstances which will test its skill and strength to the utmost. Arthur Henderson, the new secretary for home affairs, was the first member to begin active duties. He sent word to the strikeworkers. RUSSIA MOURNS DEATH OF LENE By WM. J. RESWICK (I.N.S. Staff Correspondent) MOSCOW, Jan. 23.—The of Nicolai Lemine (Vladimir Ulyanov) the founder of soviet government, was borne to Moscow today from his trry estate, while all mourned with unprecedented demonstrations of grief over death. All night long the snow moon-bathed streets of the were filled with silent c that moved back and forth were comrades of Lemine ers and former soldiers red army who sobbed and pered to one another. Never has Lemine's grip upon the Russian been more clearly demonized Red square, fronting the Krew revolutionary busial g was a scene of activity all long. Hundreds of workmen ered there and worked fow removing the snow mount that a grave could be due space could be bad for thense throng which is ex Saturday, when the burial place. Friends of Leon Trotzky ple's commissar for war, so would try to attend the fi despite the illness which m necessary for him to take cation. Bands of students, weari jackets, paraded the streets ing banners with the inscri "Ilyanov is dead, but Leuin lives." The snow-filled roads to the country suburb 30 miles Moscow, where Lemine were crowded with slow-throngs. The film at Gorky Lenine spent the last year life, was besieged. A red soldier stood at the way, turning back the crowd sought to enter to see the before it was brought to "Fall held a private hearing in the department, and without any evidence that anybody but an attorney for the Standard Oil Co., spoke he patented the land to the company," he said. "Fall also entered into a secret contract with Doheny for drilling defensive wells to prevent drainage which later turned out to be a contract for exploiting the whole reserve." "Did the secretary of the navy sign the transfer to the interior department?" interjected McKellar. "In't be responsible too." "A man is not guilty unless he understands what he is doing," replied Caraway. "Denby said this was a detail. He did not know what Fall was soing perhaps." "Was it because of ignorance on his part?" asked McKellar. "I think Denby proved that to perfection." returned Caraway. McKellar suggested that a resolution should be adopted requesting Denby to resign. "I don't feel that way about it," Caraway replied. "I don't feel it is within the province of the senate to request resignation of cabinet officers. If he has done anything of a criminal nature, he should be impeached thru the regular channels." Senator Walsh, who has been directing the attack upon the lease in committee, was drawn into the heated Senate debate by Senator King, Democrat of Utah, who asked whether Walsh approved of Caraway's resolution. "I think the leases are void," Walsh said. "I think something should be done to recover the receive lands." "The only thing is, what is the best way to do this? I don't think it is a case for legislative action. It addresses itself to me as one for judicial action. The leaves are void or they are not void. That is the question for courts to decide." "I believe congress will formally act to disapprove of the cases. The best way to go about this would be for congress to authorize the present committee to institute action to recover the reserves, as contained in the amendment offered by Senator Caraway." Walsh said the senate should ask the president to employ independent counsel "of the highest ability" to conduct an investigation entirely from the supervision by the department of justice. "There is a widespread suspicion directed against the attorney general," said Walsh. It is unfortunate but true and while it has no bearing here, the attorney general approved this transaction. I think he would be glad to be relieved of the investigation. "Besides this, the attorney gen- "Fall held a private hearing in the department, and without any evidence that anybody but an attorney for the Standard Oil Co., spoke he patented the land to the company," he said.

"The results reveal an alarming and amazing condition. "It has been disclosed that the naval reserves set aside in 1908 for emergency use by the navy and cared for by three successive presidents against private exploitation, are now utterly gone. "The Navy gets but six percent of the oil from the reserves. Each of the individuals leasing the reserves stated they expected to get $100,000,000 out of the leases. The leases were not made in the best interests of the public." HAVRE, Jan. 23.—"I'll return to the United States as soon as it is convenient for me to do so." Harry F.

Sinclair said he would so inform the senate committee investigating the circumstances surrounding the leasing of Teapot Dome oil field. Sinclair has been asked by the committee to return at once to testify on Archie Roosevelt's charge that the Sinclair Company paid the ranch foreman of former Secretary of the Interior Fall $67,000. "I've been before the committee four or five times." Sinclair said "they dismissed me before I decided to go to Europe. I expect to go to Berlin for conferences after I get thru in Paris.

RESWICK I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) MOSCOW, Jan. 23—The body of Nicolai Lenne (Vladimir Hyla Ulyanov) the founder of the Moscow today from his countryside, while all Russia turned with unprecedented demonstrations of grief over his death. All night long the snow-filled, non-bathed streets of this city were filled with silent crowds that moved back and forth. They are comrades of Lenne, workmen and former soldiers in the army who sobbed and whished to one another. Never has Lenne's magnetic up upon the Russian people more clearly demonstrated. In square, fronting the Kremlin, revolutionary busyl ground is a scene of activity all night. Hundreds of workmen gathered there and worked feverishly moving the snow mounds so that a grave could be dug and face could be had for the imminent throng which is expected Saturday, when the burial takes place. Friends of Leon Trotzky, peo's commissar for war, said he would try to attend the funeral spite the illness which made it necessary for him to take a vacation. Bands of students, wearing red jackets, paraded the streets bearer banners with the inscription: "Hitch Veto For Tax Compromise." The snow-filled roads to Gorky, a country suburb 30 miles from Moscow, where Lenne died, are crowded with slow-moving buses. The villa at Gorky where尼哥 spent the last year of his life was besieged. A red soldier stood at the doorway, turning back the crowds that might to enter to see the body before it was brought to this station. STILL SAY LOST SHIP WILL RETURN SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23—Despite reports brot from Australia by Capt. A. C. Wilvers, arriving on the Ventura, that the old whaler Narwahl and her crew of gentlemen adventurers has probably been lost in the south seas, veteran sailors along the Embarcadero today shook their heads and expressed faith "she'd turn up." They based their faith on the sturdiness of the Narwahl and the seaman-hip of her sailing master, Capt. Charles Arey, who organized the expedition as a globe-encircled cruise on a co-operative basis. Captain Wilvers said the expedition was in dire need of money when it arrived at Sydney and outfitted for a trading cruise to Noumea to recoup its fortunes. Wilvers said despite the fact the 1000-mile volage to Nomeau usually takes but 12 days, and 53 days later had not been reported arriving there. H. C. Billings, former army officer and son of a Boston millionaire, was reported among those on board. HINT VETO FOR TAX COMPROMISE WASHINGTON, Jan. 22—President Coolidge has determined to go down with colors flying rather than compromise on the Mellon program of tax reduction. Efforts of Republican leaders of congress to win over the White House to a departure from the rates laid down in the Mellon bill have resulted in absolute failure. It became known today. The leaders have been informed this morning that the "regular" Republicans support the Mellon bill. It was announced today that President Coolidge has turned down all suggestions of compromising on the maximum surtax and it was further stated, significantly that it will later 2000 REALTY MEN REFUSED PERMITS Applications of 2,000 would-be realtors will have been refused by State Real Estate Commissioner Edwin T. Kelser within a short time, and 5,000 permits will have been revoked by the end of the year, according to J. W. Jennings, field secretary of the State Real Estate Ass'n in a speech before the Anaheim Realty Board today. Jennings' remarks, including his responses to questions, were the features of the session. The greatest trouble with the operation of the multiple listing plan, as he has observed its workings with other local boards, according to Jennings, is that prices at which properties have been accepted have not represented the true values. Turning to the matter of the status of the real estate business, Jennings said that no business was obtained by the individual except through organization. In the past the public has been suspicious of realtors. The State and National organizations are trying to put-the business on a higher plane. The educational efforts of the State Ass'n were gone into at some length by the speaker. Two-year to four-year courses at certain institutions were mapped out by the National Ass'n. The State Ass'n also is mapping out courses and will furnish topics which the realtors in boards may discuss themselves, without getting a special speaker to be present. Each town has different condition, to face, however said Jennings. He made a plea to the board to aid in law enforcement, which lies with local boards everywhere, he intimated. Unless the laws are enforced, local, State and National organizations alike will fail. The boards can report violations, for one thing, which later BURNING OF Above—Residents discuss Presence of three coats of state troops has fallen love the tension at Man county seat of "Bloody Son" where efforts to ou legging bands led to a w Bands of students, wearing red jackets, paraded the streets bearing banners with the inscription: "Switch is dead, but Lenine still lives."

FIGURES IN TRIAL Wednesday, January 23, 1924 BURNING OF RAIDED HOMES STIRS "BLOODY WILLIAMSON" Above—Residents discussing "war" developments in the "square" at Marion, Ill., and S. Glenn Young. Below—Ruins of a home put to the torch by "dry" agents. Presence of three companies of state troops has failed to relieve the tension at Marion, Ill., county seat of "Bloody Williamson" where efforts to oust bootlegging bands led to a war with both sides resorting to violence. Federal agents in their zeal to preserve law and order, put the torch to several homes, it is alleged, precipitating a serious outbreak and resulting in the rest of S. Glenn Young, federal agent who led some of the raids. "Bloody Williamson" was the scene of the Herrin coal mine disaster a few years ago in which many died.

DISCOVERIES REVEAL MYSTERIES OF AMERICAN "EGYPT" Ruins of the House of the Magician at Uxmal, and an elaborately sculptured boulder found in Guatemala. Some of the mystery concerning a high civilization which flourished in Central America 3,000 years ago has been removed by discoveries made in ruins in Guatemala by Dr. Herbert J. Spinden, of Harvard University. One of the most impressive of these ruins is the House of the Magician at Uxmel, on a lofty pyramid, constructed in two periods of the history of the people. The door of the House opens into an annex, which is approached by a projecting stairway up the face of the pyramid. Another interesting discovery was an elaborately sculptured boulder, one detail of which is a human figure, the artwork revealing the high culture attained by the people of this vanished race. In this civilization there were men with scientific minds equal to those of today, and Dr. Spinden has been able to fix definite dates in their history through solving inscriptions in rock set down at the direction of these savants. One explanation of the origin of this race is that they were an offshot of the people who formed the remarkable civilization supposed to have flourished on the lost—and almost mythical—Atlantia.
