Fall and E. B. McLean, two of the central figures in the oil scandal, the senate public lands committee today demanded—and got—from the Western Union Telegraph Co., a huge mass of telegrams that passed into and out of the Washington office of the company last December. Senator Walsh today ordered a subpoena issued for G. D. Wahlberg, of New York, former private secretary to Sinclair. The committee wants to question him about his previous testimony concerning government officials. The committee has definitely decided not to call Sinclair himself until the investigation of the stock books has been completed. They desire to ask him regarding the names of certain men found on the books as dealing in Sinclair stock. Unless the committee goes farther in an investigation of Mexican oil affairs, Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, chairman, announced that he did not think it would be necessary to recall William G. MeAdoo. This opinion is also held by other committee members. In view of the admission of Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty that he dealt in Sinclair stock, it was indicated today that Daugherty might be asked to take the stand to reveal how extensive his stock operations were. SAY FIRPO WILL AVOID DEMPS By DAVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Feb. 26.—According to Broadway gossip, Lula Garcia Pirpo, having had a glut plenty on the memorable night Sept. 4, will never again mull with Jack Dempey within confines of an 18-foot ring. The noble senor, it is said, arranging a list of exhibition days and will trade on his last show with the champion in an effort clean up while the cleaning is to the vacuum. He will do business with Jack Renault, B.Fulton, Floyd Johnson and one heavyweights during the summer but will avoid Dempey as the average man avoids a hole, according to local gossip. Meantime, it is said that trick will be to squawk loudly plaintively for a return engagement with the champion. This is said, will not only serve as effective smoke screen for the owner's business but will react wily favor upon the gate receipts to attend his efforts against heavyweight bourgeoisie. For one bout alone he is said hope to get away with the trifle matter of $200,000. This is proposed engagement with J.Renault at Windson, Ont., on May 24 next. The Canadians are greatly enamored of Renault, a native, and are figured to pay heed to see him in action against senor. After having finished with Renault, Pirpo plans to look about other chins to conquer. His task is said to be lavade St. Paul's propitious moment and smite Lulu an early and hurried smite the chin. After attending to trifling matter for which he have selected Memorial Day, he will step over to Cleveland and laudable idea of knocking off Floyd Johnson. Floyd is no more sap, by the way.

Wahlberg of New York, former private secretary to Sinclair. The committee wants to question him about his previous testimony concerning giving liberty bonds to a man by the name of "Hayx." Immediately after securing these telegrams, the committee drove spectators and reporters out of the room and went into executive session to examine the messages. The committee secured the telegrams over the protest of T. P. Taff, local superintendent of the telegraph company, who contended that the messages were "private and confidential." They could only be divulged, he said, with the consent of the senders or addresses, or upon the express direction of the committee. The latter was speedily forthcoming. WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The Teapot Dome scandal, simulating with freshened vigor, promised a new crop of surprises today. Carl Schulyer, Denver friend and personal attorney of J. Leo Stack, wealthy Denver oil man, who made an unsuccessful effort under the Wilson administration to secure a lease to the rich Wyoming oil reserve, was called to appear and bring records and documents which were described privately to the senate public lands committee as sensational. The documents were expected to turn a spotlight on the million dollar contract which Stack and Fred G. Bonffill, publisher of the Denver Post, obtained from Harry F. Sinclair, leassee of Teapot Dome. Under that contract, Sinclair has paid approximately $250,000 in cash to Bonffills and Stack, and has agreed to pay $750,000 additional on next March 15. Stack testified the contract was entered into to quiet claims on Teapot Dome. Besides Schulyer, the committee desired to examine the managers of the local Western Union and the Postal telegraph companies, H. F. Taff and Thomas P. Dowd. They were asked to submit copies of all messages that passed between Washington, Palm Beach and New Orleans, sent or received, by Fall or E. B. McLean. To learn what member of the committee talked with Fall at New Orleans on long distance telephone at the time of Archie Roosevelt's testimony, Senator Walsh summoned officials of the local telephone company for queries. UNLESS the committee goes farther in an investigation of Mexican oil affairs, Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, chairman, announced that he did not think it would be necessary to recall William G. Meadoo. This opinion is also held by other committee members. In view of the admission of Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty that he dealt in Sinclair stock, it was indicated today that Daugherty might be asked to take the stand to reveal how extensive his stock operations were. Under order from the White House, the special counsel, Owen J. Roberts and Atlee Pomerene, plan to institute at once injunction proceedings to prevent further extraction of oil from the reserves. The first action will be taken in Wyoming and California, where Teapot Dome and Elk Hills, respectively, are located, it was said. REPUBICANS IN NEW ROW OVER TAX BILL (Continued from Page One) ages and all parts of the plan to learn just what it means before it is sprung on the house after debate is closed. That is the only fair course to pursue with a great tax bill involving $200,000,000 in income tax rates." It is apparent that a large majority in the house favors a gift tax and one will be incorporated in the bill. With this contest out of the way, the house expects to settle down to consideration of the changes proposed in the excise taxes. A sharp struggle is coming over the proposal to repeal taxes on automobile tires, repair parts and accessories, and a reduction from 10 to 5 per cent in the tax on trucks or two tons carrying capacity.

The writer was present when it drew secrets from accused men and apparently solved crimes. He also subjected himself to the test and will relate the experience in the final article of the series. By B. V. STURDIVANT J. N. S. Staff Correspondent (Copyright 1924 by International News Service) BIRMINGHAM, Feb. 26.—"Truth serum" has lifted itself from the ranks of experiments and in three or four years will be generally used in the solution of crimes. It was predicted today by Solicitor James G. Davis, who has taken the lead in solving Birmingham's series of brutal and puzzling axe murders by the "truth serum" method. Since the announcement that scopolamin led to the probable solution of the killing of 25 men, women and children in the last three years, Davis said scores of inquiries have come from police throughout the country asking information about the drug and its application to persons suspected of crime. "Some requests have come from cities in adjoining states that we go there and put prisoners to the 'truth serum' test" he said. What is truth serum? It is a combination of scopolamin and morphine—a mixture of the same ingredients as are used in the twilight sleep method of child birth. It is given either hypodermically, as anti-typhoid vaccine, or in capsule form. The subject runs into a heavy sleep. To any question he will answer the truth, it is claimed, because the drug has killed his well-temporarily and deprived him of the power to lie. Dr. A. A. Goldberg, the fictitious name of a prominent Birmingham physician who has admired Homer will be accommodation July 24. The last and attraction will be staged in Delphia with George Godfrey, heavyweight as the co-attendant. That time, Luis hopes to have tested all the vagrant dollars United States.

NO LENIENCY FOR CHILD BEATERS Legal machinery was being oilied today to grind out justice in the case of Floyd E. Hatch and Mrs. Bertha E. Phares, who face preliminary hearing Thursday in Justice J. B. Cox's court on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of Hatch's two small children.

SIKI, SICK, JUMPS OUT OF WINDOW HAVANA, Feb. 26.—Authorities today were investigating the action of Battling Siki, the Senegalese boxer, in throwing himself out of the second-story window of his hotel here. He was uninjured. Siki had been ill with a fever and cold for several days and had been confined to his room. When Siki landed he quickly picked himself up and ran down the street shouting that he was "Siki, the great battler." A crowd of young Cubans placated him and he was taken to his room and given medical treatment. STANFORD BATTLES CALIF. FOR TITLE OAKLAND, Feb. 26.—In what may be the deciding game in the southern section of the Pacific Coast conference, the California and Stanford basketball teams will meet at the auditorium here tonight. California is in the lead by virtue of the victory scored Saturday night over Stanford.

GENE VALLA SIGNS SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 26.—Gene Valia, Seal outfielder, was preparing to depart for the Boyes Springs training camp today after signing his 1924 contract. His signature leaves Hal Rhyne as the only Seal holdout. NO LENIENCY FOR CHILD BEATERS Legal machinery was being oilied today to grind out justice in the case of Floyd E. Hatch and Mrs. Bertha E. Phares, who face preliminary hearing Thursday in Justice J. B. Cox's court on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of Hatch's two small children. It is a combination of scopolamine and morphine—a mixture of the same ingredients as are used in the twilight sleep method of child birth. It is given either hypodermically, as anti-typhoid vaccine, or in capsule form. The subject rails into a heavy sleep. To any question he will answer the truth, it is claimed, because the drug has killed his well, temporaria and deprived him of the power to lie. Dr. A. A. Goldberg, the fictitious name of a prominent Birmingham physician who has administered "truth serum" to fourteen persons here under the direction of solicitor Davis, thus described it: "The drug apparently shatters the will power and paralyzes the conscious mind." When questions are asked there is but one thing to do—answer them. There is no will power to withhold it and no conscious mind to manufacture a falsehood. One to four ounces, depending on the particular subject, is enough to prepare the prisoner for questioning. A simple test reveals whether he is "ripe" for quizzing. When the first drowziness comes over him he is told to remember a certain number. As long as he remembers the number his conscious mind still operates when he cannot recall the number, he is ready. There in a dark room, Dr. Goldberg conducts the modern "third degree." Light may recall the suspect to his senses. There are none of the methods of usual "third degree." No pushing and rough handling, no slaps or kicks or curses, no terrifying stage effects, no depriving of food or drink or sleep. Simple questions, chosen because of their natural, disarming character, are the first asked. "What is your name? Where do you live? How old are you?" In thirteen of the fourteen examinations these questions have been answered correctly, subsequently checkups showed. Solicitor Davis has definitely confined his administration to the use of "truth serum" as a crime detector. When criminals adopt an attitude of silence in the Jefferson county jail their tongues will be unlocked with this serum," be declared. "It will become generally used as a means of solving crimes in the next few years," he predicted. Experienced physicians, specialists in anaesthetics will have to handle the "truth serum" treatment, according to Dr. Goldberg. There is too much chance for bungling unless the treatment is restricted to accredited physicians' help said. "The preliminary examination is highly important." Some can find a tattoo than see "The and can ountend friends"- Deadly Gossip Man Basis of Dr "Gossip" is the thing that destroy any state of hape no matter how secure it seems.

Hatch and Mrs. Bertha E. Phares, who face preliminary hearing Thursday in Justice J. B. Cox's court on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of Hatch's two small children. Hatch and Mrs. Phares must pay the fullest penalty that the law can exact for the blows and the starvation and suffering endured by the little ones, they declare. When the present charge is carried through a statutory charge will be brought against the parr, it is frankly stated. Meanwhile the two Hatch children, Clive, 8, and Alta May, 6, are safe with their own mother's parents in Hollywood. The sorridd circumstances and plight of the Hatch children came to light some weeks ago when an investigation revealed that the woman posting as Mrs. Hatch was said to have unmercifully beaten and starved the children. The loss of her own children loomed later, when her husband, Robert Phares, of Pomona, appeared and laid claim to their custody in connection with a divorce action. The woman's arrest here revealed her whereabouts to him he said. There is nothing better than an industrial getter. Let's be one. Anaheim Laundry Co.

Flentge Drug Company So insistant have been the telephone calls to the California theatre concerning the remarkable performance of Prof. Haynes, self-styled "psychologist," that Manager Tom Ingram has made arrangements with the West Coast Theatres, Inc., booking department, to hold this wonderful attraction for two more days. This will be in conjunction with the showing of the big Paramount picture, "The Stranger." That Prof. Haynes gives a wonderful performance is a fact conceded by every one who has attended the California the last few days, and while Anaheim has been "favored" in the past by persons claiming to do great mysterious stunts, yet it has fallen to the lot of Haynes to demonstrate to the public of Anaheim that there is "something new under the sun" and something that does not carry the earmarks of "fake." Prof. Haynes is a hard worker and seems to put his whole soul into his work, always trying to give patrons their money's worth, and the fact that the act is so entirely unusual and mysterious, makes it joy. The photoplay feature for this bill is one of the strongest that has been offered at the California. "The Stranger" was made under the personal supervision of Joseph Henabery and contains one of the best picture casts that has been assembled in many months—Betty Compson, Richard Dix, Lewis Stone and Tully Marshall.
