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,'

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.

tell the world.
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.

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

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,

the Senate first.
