from 34.33 c to 34.53 c and July from
32.88 c to 33.01 c, making net gains

TECHNICALITIES AID
FALL IN THWARTING
OIL LEASE PROBERS
(Continued from Page l)
not re-elected after the Coolidge ole
vation to the presidency.
Debate on Point
j In raising this junsd'ctional ques
J tion, Fall’s counsel doubtless will
i refer lo a debate in the senate on
Decembei 17, where there was brief
, discussion of the necessity of re
' electing the president pro tern.
1 When Semi tor Lodge moved elec
; tion of a senate clerk and all other
; olficers, Senator Walsh, of Montana,
j nemesis of Fall in the present in
i vestigation, asked:
"1 wish to inquire of the senator
j from Massachusetts why we should
■ not elect a president pro tern'.''”
Senator Lodge replied that, "From
ntj- point of view, we have a presi
dent pro tem, and I did not desire to
I delay further the election of officers
of me senate."
"1 inquire," persisted ’ Senator
I Walsh, "why. upon the same line
j of reasoning, we have not a ser
i geant of arms and a secretary?”
Senator Lodge replied, '‘Because
they are not selected under a resolu-
I tion, similar to that under which
| the president pro tern is selected."
; ‘‘Bitt if it becomes necessary at
i this time," Senator Walsh reasoned,
"to elect a sergeant at arms and a
secretary, why is it not equally nec
essary to elect a president pro
tern ?”
‘‘Because they are under totally
different resolutions of the senate,”
said Mr. Lodge, who then read the
resolution of the senate of March 7,
1921, declaring that Senator Albert
B. Cummins was elected president
Pro tern "to hold office during the
pleasure of J.he senate.” He referred
back to a resolution, adopted by the
senate in 1890, when on motion of
Senator Evarts, the senate held that
it was "competent” for it to elect a
president pro tent "who shall hold
the office during the pleasure of
the senate and until another is elect
ed, and shall execute the duties
thereof during all future absences
of the vice president until the sen
ate otherwise orders.”
In the senate debate, Senator Cur
tis took view contrary to that of
Senator Lodge and held that the
secretary and sergeant at arms of
the senate, like the president uro
tern, hold office until successors are
elected. Senator Walsh also finally
said that he thought the case was
on all fours and that if the president
pro tern holds office at the pleasure
of the senate, and he thought he
did, then other senate officers like
wise held over. Senator Walsh said
he agreed with the senator from
Kansas, Mr. Curtis.
“I do not think the cases are just
alike,” said Senator Curtis. "I
think the president pro tern holds
his office until his successor is elect
ed, under the resolution of 1890, un
less his term as a senator expires.”
The very fact that senators
seemed to differ over the procedure
and used such expressions as “I
thiitk” will be employed by the Fait
attorney in support of his argument
that Mr. Cummins should have been
re-elected by this present senate,
particularly in view of the constitu
tional reference to election of a
president pro temjsvhen a vice presi
dent becomes president of the Unit
ed States.
In addition to the constitutional
question involved, the attorney will
claim that contempt proceedings un
der section 104 of the revised stat
utes, must be signed by the presi
dent of the senate or the speaker
of the house and that today there
is no president of the senate.
It is tacitly admitted that congress
might cure this point by amending
Section 104, and authorizing a tem
porary presiding officer to affix the
seal of the senate and cite Mr. Fall
for contempt. However, it is claimed
that such legislation would be ex
post facto. Attorney Cooke ad
mitted today that if a document
comes to the district attorney, signed
by Mr 1 . Cummins as president pro

Claims I all i’rejmlgcil
Claiming that the senate lias pre- :
' judged Fun by ununimotislx passing
| the Walsh resolution,, declaring int;
1 oti leases to be contrary to law and
j executed under circumstances indi
cating "fraud and corruption, the
i attorney said his client would utilize
eve’y possible legal point to put his
case in the courts and take tl from
th v jurisdiction of at. investigating
' tribunal, which has .already ex-,
ptessed an opinion, and attempted
; to construe law, instead of legislat-
I mg. This max- cause indefinite de
j lay.
It is contended that Fall’s position
i is strengthened because of the tin
usual circumstance that Mr. Coul
; idge has gone to the White House,
. and that with differences of opinion
| existing, even in the senate, the sen-
■ ate should have made certain of ■
■ itself and gone through the formal- ■
juty of electing, at this session, a
; president pro tempore or designating
t a senator as acting president of that
■ body.
It was the original intention of op-
I poments of -Senator Cummins to force
■ a vote on his election as president
; pro tempore of the present senate,
and there was a Democrat and in
! surgent Republican line-up against
i Cummins. Opponents of Mr. Cum
! mins, however, reached a gentle
man's agreement not to press the
fight on him as president pro tem
pore after he was removed from the
j chairmanship of the senate com
i mittee on interstate commerce.
Senate Action
What the senate will do when it I
learns of the strategy of foi’mer
Secretary Full and ins attorney to
thwart contempt proceedings ai\d
raise two technical points ot law
iand constitutional procedure could
not be forecast here today. It was
learned, however, on excellent au
thority, that the advisers and at
torney of Secretary Fall intend not
only t'o raise these points m court, |
but to use any other technical ob- I
jections and conflicts in laWj which i
will aid Fall in escaping a fine ana I
| jail sentence.
The statutes provide that any per- i
son found guilty of contempt of
either branch of congress or its ;
committees shall be lined from SIOO !
to SI,OOO and imprisoned in a "com- |
mon jail” for a period of not less than ,
one month and not more than 12 i
months. The w t ord is “and” instead |
iof "or” and Fall possibly faces a
jail sentence.
To meet previous objections and
points raised by Fall, the senate, on |
motion of Senator Walsh, intends to i
re-adopt on Thursday the resolutions
Gs inquiry, Yinder which the oil least,
investigations have been proceeding.
Senator Walsh did not concede the '
point, but is taking no chances.
Meanwhile, the examination of \
Fall is held, up pending further ac- I
tion by the senate. He is to reap- )
near Friday when he will again re- I
fuse to testify on the ground that |
ne is before a compiittee of a bocry !
which nas voted to condemn his of- J
ficial acts. Therefore, Fall claims, '
he is entitled lo recourse to any !
points of law, technical or broad, to
protect himself*
His forthcoming maneuver may j
requ«e the senate to amend another |
law or to »aake sure that Senator i
Cummins has authority to sign a j
writ of contempt.

I instituted by the government's spe
; cial counsel in the oil land lease
eases as soon as President Coolidge
j signs the Walsh resolution recently
I adopted b.y congress.
i Because of a misunderstanding as
to the hour of the meeting of tffe
' senate oil committee, Samuel Unger
leider, head of a Cleveland. Ohio,
i stock brokerage firm, was not pres
' ent today to respond to his name
' when it was called. No other witness
had been summoned for tcTiy and
I'm 1 her inx estigat ion of the naval oil
leases was deferred until next Thurs
day.
Mr. Ungorleider, accompanied by
■ the former manager of his Washing
ton branch, James Sloane, Jr., a
- White J louse attache ouring a part
of the Harding administration, ap
peared at the hearing room later
and held a conference with Chair
man Lenroot. They brought with
them books of the Washington
branch which the committee desires
to have examined to determine
whether they contain any record of
j transactions by federal government
i officials in the stock of the Mam
-1 moth Oil company. This company
was organized by the Sinclair intei*
ests to take over the lease of the
’feapot Dome reserve obtained by
Harry F. Sinclair from Albert B.
Fail, as secretary of the interior.
Mr. unglerider agreed to turn over
bis books to the special accountants
of the federal trade commission who
already are conducting an examina
tion of the books of W. B. Hibbs &
Co., a Washington banking and
brokerage concern
Books of the Association of Petro
leum Producers of Mexico and the
National Association for the Pro
tection of American Rights in Mexi
co also are sought by the commit
tee. In this connection, subpoenas
have been issued for Guy Stevens
and Thomas Lee, of New Y’ork City.
John T. King, former Republican
national committeeman for Connecti
cut, also has been summoned, but
the line of his examination has not
been disclosed. He was in Miami,
Fla., when the subpoena was served.
