PAGE FOUR FLAGRANT MM OF Li IS CHARGED 111 REPORT GIVEN M 4 ' - - ■ Senator Walsh Presents Find ings of Oil Probers After Exhaustive Hearings SECRET LEASES FLAYED Fall’s Acceptance of SIOO,OOO From Doheny Called ‘ln Last Degree Reprehensible’ WASHINGTON, June s.—Flag rant disregard of law in negotia tions of the Sinclair and Doheny oil leases are charged in a report to the senate today prepared for the oil committee by its proseiutor, Senator Walsh, of Montana. The ■executive by which Harding trans ferred the oil reserves from the navy to the interior department are held in the report to have been il legal. The manner in which the leases were negotiated secretly by Former Secretary Fall are describ ed as in disregard of the statutes. The leases themselves are declared “indefensible ,and wastdful’l and based on a policy which congress alone had althority to determine. Fall's acceptance of ’sloo,ooo from Doheny was characterized as 'in the last degree reprehensible, - ’ although' no opinion was expressed as to whether the payment was in,' fact or a loan. cowteTshts JOHNSON'S CROWD Faction Headed By J. L. Phil lips Loses Effort to Gain Seats in Convention CLEVELAND, dune £>, —The re publican national committee con tinued hearings today on the re mainder of factional delegate con traversies from the southern states after having decided to seat Henry Lincoln Johnson delegate from Geoigia over the faction headed by John L Phillips. ■ ■ Old line party leaders had hoped to eliminate the Georgia trouble by seating the Phillips delegation, but these plans were upset by an eleventh hour presentation of a letter written by Warren Harding' to C. Bascom Slemp, in which the former president expressed regret that the Phillips organization had been recognized, and directed that steps be taken to undo what had been done. Contests from South Carolina and Tennessee are expected to con sume little time, as -only .scattering district seats are in the controversy. "TETLEy?

While waiting for the law to take its course, the city goes over again in its mind the astounding facts of the crime. It is super-fiction throughout—the Sherlock Holmes unraveling of the mystery through la pair of glasses lost on the lonely prairie, and a plot which no fiction ist would dare suggest even as a probability. Deciding nine months in advance to kidnap a boy and kill him, thq pair rehearsed their actions, polish ed off every tell-tale trace and practiced an identical alibi. When they were perfection, they picked up their neighbor boy, Rob ert Franks, as the first convenient subject. They had in mind a grand son of Julius Rosenwald or several other wealthy convenients of their vicinity, but Robert chanced along and became the sacrifice. They killed nim in their automo bile five minutes after he climbed in, ate dinner calmly at a restaur ant and then hid the body under a culvert. So is written now familiarly the story. Not all the millions of their families nor of old Jacob Franks can lure back their victim to lire. Nor all the slayers’ tears wipe out a word of that story. ■MF BILL m SHBALS BOTII GO Offl Republican Leaders Definitely Abandon Effort to Put Bills Through This Session WASHINGTON, June s.—With farm relief legislation along the lines defeated, the McNary-Haug en bill definitely abandoned py re publican leaders in the house, and the Muscle Shoals question put over until December in the senate, con gestion in congress today is consid erably relieved. Much remained yet to be done before adjournment Saturday, however, with reclama tion and naval modernization measures the principal items on the program.

BEAUTY AND HEALTH Even if a woman’s features aro regular, her form symmetrical, she can not be physically attractive if she is suffering from weaknesses peculiar to her sex. Many women owe their ill health to carelessness, lato hours, etc., until Nature calls a halt. Sometimes it is too late; but in most cases Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is just the womanly tonic and nervine required. This wonderful herbal remedy was discovered 50 years ago by Dr. Pierce. It is a pure reconstructive tonic for women. Try it 1 Send 10c for trial pkg.to Dr. Pierce’s Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N.Y. FEW FOLKSHAVE GRAY HAIR NOW Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe of Sage Tea and Sulphur Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so at tractive, use only this old-time recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mix ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound,” which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that no body can possibly tell it has been ap plied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applica tions, it alsy brings Lack the gloss ami lustre and gives it an appearance ok - - HUNTS WASHINGTON BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, June s.—Hav ing failed to entice wary Bill Boran of Boise, Idaho, into the Coolidge camp by offering him the honor of placing “Goutious Call” in nomina tion at Oetelnd, it is now suggest ed Bofah Le brought in bodily, by coercion if necessary, and placed on the ticket as Coolidge’s running mate. That, it is believed, would turn the trick. No man, it is pointed out, ever has refused the vice presidential nomination after it had been voted him. And Borah, although in many ways different from the average of senators and politicians, might no expected to run true to tradition if the nomination for vice president was sawed off into his lap. » » » This new proposal emphasizes more than ever the desire of the Coolidge backers to tie up the Coo lidge candidacy with mid-western and western elements which, while progressively inclined, still have at heart a desire to remain regular, to keep within the G. O. P. This was pointed out recently in connection with efforts to induce Borah to make the Coolidge nomi nating speech. By such a speech Borah naturally would have com mitted himself to the Coolidge cause. And an endorsement by Borah would have been sufficient to line up for the Republican candi date thousands of voters who at present regard him as conservative if not actually reactionary. After hints that he preferred not to do the nominating were disre garded, and pressure continued to be applied, the Idaho progressive put himself out of further consider ation for the honor by announcing that he would not be present at Cleveland. That, he felt, would be conclu sive. Also final. If he wasn’t there, he couldn’t be committed. He’d still be free to exercise independent judgment and leadership. , But the demand for Borah as an active participant in the Coolidge campaign has persisted. And the in vitation that he volunteer may now be replaced by an oirder that he be drafted. The one big deterrent to this program is fear of just how Borah would take it. Would he submit si- I lently as a conscientious objector only, or would he raise a hue .".nd cry of “kidnapers!” and, by fight- j\ew features the worlds TO.'-. ---nrnr-rT,- —- FiIIIbmI most Popular Oil Stove US t --Wp'- H Near L 2 Greater 5 Lou/er ” / 4 EXTRA Sheff 7 8 Instantly Visible X OIL LEVEL ‘7 THE Improved Blue Chimney NEW PERFECTION gives quicker heat, greater economy and the most complete equipment ever offered in a moderately priced oil stove!

Well—that’s one of the things that only time will tell. Borah just grins when he’s asked about it. ♦ ♦ ▼ It’s hard to think of Borah as a vice president. It’s harder to think of Borah thinking of himself as vice president. To sit, day after day, perched up on a dinky rostrum listening to the drone of senatorial debates and with never a chance to, pitch in and stir things up a bit— To be the tail of a presidential kite, without real leadership or in fluence, instead of an independent leader, feared and respected by friends and foe alike— No; somehow that doesn’t sound like the role for Bill Borah. No man was a closer friend or more staunch admirer of Theodore Roosevelt' than was Borah. Yet he refused to follow Roose velt when T. R. rode out of the res ervation in 1912. He would have helped Roosevelt then as he can help Coolidge now. He held thousands of votes in the G. O. P. for Taft, as he can, hold them for Coolidge if he but says the word. But will he? If Borah won’t tell in the meantime, June 14 will! If you’re going to get shot in a, battle between bootleggers and prohibition agents, get elected to the Senate first. The Senate has authorized pay ment of $7500, for hospital and doc tor bills to Senator Frank Greei. of Vermont, who was beaned by a bootlegger’s bullet in a battle near the capitol. Poor consolation at that! The high price of leather seems to have hit case steaks.
