(Continued From Page 1)
detached from duty by Secretary Donby because they opposed leasing the reserve.
In January, 1917, Stack made a separate contract with Doheny, telling him: "I was confident the coming administration would grant a lease."
"On what did you base your claim to Teapot Dome?"
On my priority application in 1917."
"Do you think that was valid?"
Certainly, priority always is recognized by the interior department in considering applications."
After his contract with Doheny Stack said in the spring of 1921 he went "to Teapot Dome with consulting geologists and found that 8000 acres were on the Salt Greek structure and subject to drainage."
He remained a month, mapping Teapot Dome.
Doheny paid for this!"
Oh yes!
In April or May Stack instructed his geologists to submit the report to the geological survey about the danger of drainage.
"The survey immediately sent two men to Teapot Dome to check up on our map."
Stack said the survey confirmed the report "and I placed the matter before the navy."
Doheny was entrusted then and said no same man could refuse the lease." said Stack." I then went to Secretary Denby. He said nothing doing about the lease. I told him about the navy losing the money on royalty oil.
"He said, in view of this, that he would look into the matter. Then I learned the Pioneer company was trying to get Teapot Dome under the leasing act of congress.

Doheny was enthused then and said no same man could refuse the lease," said Stack." I then went to Secretary Denby. He said nothing doing about the lease. I told him about the navy losing the money on royalty oil.
He said in view of this, that he would look into the matter.
Then I learned the Pioneer company was trying to get Teapot Dome under the leasing act of congress. I was trying to get a lease under the navy bill of 1920.
That caused a conflict between us.
"In view of this we all tried to get together, but because of the attitude and dilatory tactics of the Pioneer company, Doheny said he wanted to retire if reimbursed and if the Pioneer owners gave me a fair contract."
That was agreed to and in December I entered a contract with the Pioneer, giving me five per cent of profits on offset wells and eight per cent on other wells."
Stack said Pioneer was a subsidiary of the Midwest Refining company and Midwest a subsidiary of the Standard Oil of Indiana.
So Doheny stepped out and these companies gave me a cashier's check for $14,000 covering all expenses.
Stack explained later that the Belgo company was made a party to the contract.
Before Doheny dropped out you were interested in getting the Pioneer and Belgo claims for him!
I went to California with Doheny and he advised my contract was worth $1,500,000.
After returning to Denver, Stack was informed by the Pioneer people three weeks before the announcement of the lease was made that they couldn't get anywhere and couldn't get the leaves," and that "they sold out to Sinclair, who was to get the leaves."
They offered me $50,000 and I turned it down because I felt I had been "zyped," as I had an interest in the Pioneer contract."
Stack then described how he weared to Fred G. Bonfila, Denver publisher, who "agreed to back me in my fight."
What did you hire Bonfila to do?
"I didn't hire him to do anything, I gave him a half interest to help me fight because I needed a fighter."
Bonfila and Stacks prepared a complaint charging the Standard group "with fraud and conspiracy because I thought they deliberately conspired to get me out of our interest."
He engaged H.H.Schwartz.
He came to my office and we drew up the complaint, alleging a conspiracy to defraud me out of matter before the navy."

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13—The senate public land committee was split wide open today onnominations of Silas H.Strawn, of Chicago, and AlicePomerene, of Canton, Ohio, as counsel toprosecute the government's cases to recover the navalol reserves leased by ex-Secretaryof the Interior Fall toprivate interests.
So serious was the oppositionthat it seemed problematicalwhether the appointmentsby President Coolidge would be reported favorably to the senate forconfirmation... Once in the senate,where consideration ofthe names will be demanded in opensession a bitter light was continued by Democratic insurgent forces.
The fight made upon Strawnled by Senator Walsh, Democratof Montana, and Dill of Washington, took a new turn becauseof his testimony that he is a directoroftwo Chicago banks, the FirstTrust and Savings and theFirstNational, which handle financesof the Standard Oil Co.ofIndiana.

An interesting meeting of the Western Foreign Missionary society of the White Temple will be held at the home of Mrs. W. H. Johnston, 601 No. Los Angeles-st Thursday at 2:30. All members and those interested are cordially invited. The charge of the lessons on Japan. The program will be given by Section 2.
The committee has been unable to act upon the nominations. Witnesses have been heard opposing the names. Strawn and Pomerene themselves have appeared in testimony and submit to a gruelling cross examination. But each time the committee has not even come close to a decision.
Again today the nominations were up for consideration. It seemed highly improbable, however, that a decision could be reached. Strawn himself has been called to reappear. In addition to being depositories for the Standard Oil Co., the committee has been told that the two Chicago banks were members of a syndicate which floated millions of dollars' worth of bond and stock issues for the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Corp. The committee is working on information in verifying this report and planned to ask Strawn whether he had any part as a director, in floating any of the Sinclair stock.
Walsh and Dill were insistent that the special counsel should be man with wide and full experience in criminal cases, as much of the oil suits will be of a criminal nature. Pomerene is said to have admitted to the committee he has prosecuted few criminal cases: Strawn virtually none, having devoted his attention as a lawyer to civil suits.
Dill was vigorously and energetically opposed to the appointment.
FIRST MEETING OF WEST SIDE
P. T. A. SOCIETY
The first meeting of the West Nide Partent-Teacher association held yesterday in the kindergarten of the Citron school, was attended by a large number of interested patrons who heard with pleasure the talk by Miss Yesta Mawe. Miss Mawe, who has but recently returned from two years' service in China as teacher in the Nah King University, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Mawe. Her experiences as teacher of boys in the fifth, sixth and seventh grades was intensely interesting. She spoke of their natural intelligence and quick response to teaching of English, in which she specialized.
Miss Mawe also had an interesting exhibit of curiosity she had collected in both China and Japan. Naturally attractive, she was particularly so in her flowing robe—such as is worn by a woman of high estate in China. An assessment of pictures collected in China and on the homeward journey also was an interesting exhibit.
Reports on several vital topics were presented. Movies suitable for children were handled by Mrs. C. C. Smith in her usual capable way.
A discussion of the city ordinance in regard to employment of children was an interesting topic as well.
Valentine candies were passed about offer the program came to a close, and the meeting was considered one of the most successful that could be desired.

Strawn, whether he had any part as a director, in floating any of the Sinclair stock.
Walsh and Dill were insistent that the special counsel should be man with wide and full experience in criminal cases, much of the oil suits will be of a criminal nature. Pomerene is said to have admitted to the committee he has prosecuted few criminal cases; Strawn virtually none, having devoted his attention as a lawyer to civil suits.
Dill was vigorously and energetically opposed to the appointments.
"I have no personal objection against either Strawn or Pomerene, he said." They both have reputations as excellent lawyers. But I do object to some of the connections they have. Connection of the special counsel in any way with oil companies will cause the American people to lose confidence in the oil cases and in the sincerity behind the move to recover the naval reserves.
"We need hard-hitting men to prosecute the cases, men who have vast experience in criminal cases."
"The safety of the naval oil reserves depends upon the counsel. The Senate shares responsibility in naming the counsel and I think we owe it to the country that we assist in selecting men about whom there can be no charge of any connection with oil interests."
Dill also served notice that he would press for action in the senate on his resolution calling upon the state department to furnish full information regarding oil concessions in foreign countries.
Leo Stack, wealthy Denver oil man, who had contractual rights to claims in Teapot Dome, and who charged he was convinced there was "bad faith, fraud and secret dealings" in connection with the reserve leases, was summoned before the committee again for cross examination. Stack, with Fred F. Bonfilis, publisher of the Denver Post, has a $1,000,000 contract with Harry P. Stinelain, whereby the oil magnate agreed to pay $1,000,000 for Stack's claims to Teapot Dome.
Although a dozen witnesses stock brokers, were under subpoena, it was not believed the committee would be able to dispose of any but Stack today.
