COTTON
NEW YORK, Feb. 11. —The cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of 8 to 13 points today, owing to
relatively steady Liverpool cables
and rumors that private returns in
dicated domestic mill consumption of
561,000 bales for January, compared
•with 461,000 tor December. The ad
vance ran into considerable covering,
however, and after advancing to
33.82 at the opening, May contracts
soon reacted to 33.73, or within a
point of Saturday's closing quota
tion. New Orleans also reacted after
an opening advance, and the market
here was barely steady during the
early trading under liquidation, lo
cal and western selling. Private
cables from Liverpool attributed the
early firmness there to a good spot
demand for export.
May sold off to 33.41 c on the early
decline, but at this price offerings
became less active and after show
ing net losses of about 25 to 30 points
on old crop positions the market re
covered 15 or 20 points on covering..
New crop months were relatively
steady during the entire morning
owing to reports of rain in the south
west, and October was 8 or 9 points
net higher at midday and old crop
positions were 8 to 10 points net
There was another flurry of sell
ing during the early afternoon
which sent the price of May off to
33.31 c, or 41 points net lower, while
July sold at 31.97 c, making a net
decline of 36 points. New •Orleans
and local traders were credited with
selling, but general business was
very quiet and trading was chiefly
in the way of evening up accounts
for over-the-holiday tomorrow.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 11. — High
figures on. American consumption put
the cotton market up for gains of 13
to 30 points soon after the opening
today, but support was not sustained
and prices soon sagged. At the end
of the first half hour of business the
trading months were 11 points down
to one point up, compared with the
close of last week. March traded
up to 33.91, and fell off to 3J.56; Oc
tober traded up to 27.64 and fell off
to 27.52. A private bureau estimated
January consumption of cotton in
this country at 562,000 bales, or ex
actly 100,000 bales in excess of the
consumption in December. Some of
the selling that followed the open
ing bulge was based on private re
ports that considerable cotton was
planted last week in the Rio Grande
valley, and that the work would be
rushed, with favorable weather.
After the early trading the market
turned quiet, apparently because of
the holiday tomorrow. Further small
sags occurred and the market re
mained depressed up to noon, stand
ing at its lowest, 6 to 27 points under
the close of last week, with March
off to 33.40 c, and October off to
27.45 c.
After mld-sesslon heavy llquida
_<-tion entered the market, longs let
ting go apparently because of the
holiday tomorrow. In the trading up
to 1:30 o’clock March fell to 33.11
and October to 27.26, where the list
stood 25 to 56 points under the close
of Saturday.

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.—Wheat rose
sharply today on first trades with
July and September a new high on
the crop. After the start trade be
came lighter with prices covering
a narrow range. 'The advance was
stopped by realizing sales while rest
ing orders to buy were in the market
slightly above the previous close.
The sharp advance in Liverpool in
face of bearish statistics caused the
early buying. The advance in the
English market: was attributed to
foreign buying. Worlds shipments of
over 21,000,000 bushels and an in
crease of 7,480,000 bushels had no
effect.

DENBY RESOLUTION
WILL BE VOTED ON
MONDAY IN SENATE
(Continued from Pago 1)
clair, Bonffls said the questions were
"‘most extraordinary” and charged
that they emanated from his ene
mies in Colorado. V
Chairman I,enroot wanted to know
if it wasn't a fact, that the attacks
on the Sinclair lease which had been
made m the Denver Post had not
ceased after the negotiations of the
contract with Sinclair.
“No,” related the witness. Then
leaning across lhe table he said:
‘‘They did not cease; they have
not ceased; they writ never cease.”
Referring to a publication in the
Denver Post on April 16, 1922, Sena
tor Letiroot asked Bonfils if he did
not then believed that the. lease was
a proposition that represented
“graft.”
“I believed It represented a lot ot
mone.v to a lot of people; call it graft
if you wish,” was the reply.
“You thought it a rotten commer
cial transaction, yet so long as you
got your fees out of It, $1,000,000,
you were, willing to stand upon this
rotten deal and contract.”
“I did not.”
“Is not your cor tract based upon
thia lease? Did you not become a
party to this rotten contract which
Sinclair made with Fall?”
“I do not think so ”
Flat Denial Made
By that time Chairman Lenroot
was on his feet. Leaning across the
table toward the witness and. shak
ing a contract which he held in his
hand, trie chairman asked:
‘‘ls it not a fact that your contract
with Mr. Sinclair was not based upon
any legal rights of Mr. Stack?”
“That is not »rue.”
“But that this whole deal was
for the purpose of purchasing your
silence in your newspapers?”
“That is false; absolutely false.”
the examination of Mr. Bon
fils had been concluded he was given
leave to proceed to Charleston, S. C.,
to board the naval transport Hen
derson for a cruise to Panama to
witness the naval maneuvers there
at the invitation of Secretary Denby.
Sena>e<lebate on the Denby resolu
tion today was comparatively brief,
Senator Shortridge, Republican,
California, opposing the measure and
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Massachu
setts, supporting it.
During the day Senator Walsh,
Democrat, Massachusetts, supporting
it. During the day Senator Jones,
Republican, Washington, offered a
sub-resolution, which reads:
“Resolved, that in view of the
disclosures made and the facts as
certained by the committee on pub
lic lands and surveys of the senate
in connection with the oil lease in
vestigation now in progress, it is
the sense of the senate that the
public interests would be served by
the resignation of Edwin Denby,
secretary of the navy.”
- Denies Press Influence
Today Bonlils vigorously denied
that the attitude of his paper toward
Sinclair had anything to do with the
contract of settlement.
In the midst of a vigorous cross
examination, Chairman Lenroo'
asked, whether “the matter of your
attack on Sinclair” was discussed at
the conference with Sinclair.
“No, sir,” Bonfll replied.
“Was,the mat er of your ceasing
your attacks on Sinclair discussed?’ -
“I would like to know what insti
gated these questions? Did they
emanate from Colorado?”
“I am asking these questions on
rriy responsibility as a senator and
you will please answer them.”
“It is a most extraordinary ques
tion, and I want the record to show
the fact.”
Pressed as to whether the attacks
on Sinclair in his paper had not
been tsopped, Mr. Bonfils leaned
across the table and said:
“They did not cease. They have
not ceased. They never shall cease.”
Senator Lenroot read a telegram
which said there had been no article
on the subject in the Post from Sep
tember 15, 1922, to December 3, 1922.
■ The telegram added that there
was none during most of 1923 con
taining any reflection upon Sin
clair.
“We printed the news every day,”
Mr. said.
“Any editorial comment concern
ing these transactions?”
“I do not think there were.”
“Do you mean to testify that there
was no change in the attitude of
your newspaper concerning these
transactions?”
“I do not think there were.”
“Do you mean to testify that there
was no change in the attitude of
qottr newspaper concerning these
transactions from the beginning?”
“I do.”
“You had vigorously attacked Mr
Sinclair and thse oh transactions up
to a certain time?”
Thought it Bad Lease
"We printed that it was a bad
lease and I still think it was.”
“You think it was a bad, corrupt
de.al, do you not?”
“We. were not blaming Mr. Sin
clair for it.”
Referring to the sending of a re
porter to New Mexico, Chairman
Lenroot asked whether Bonfils, nn'.io
yesterday had described the dis
closures brought back as “shock
ing,” had failed to print the articles
merely because of the possibility
of libel suits.
Bonfils replied in the affirma
tive.
"Do you believe Mr. Fall could
have been corrupt and Mr. Sinclair
not?”
"Most of my information referred
to Mr. Fall’s affairs, and had very
little to do with Teapot Dome.”
"Why did not you send the infor
mation before called upon by the
committee?”
“I thought the committee must
have known it.”
“Is it not a fact that your con
tract with Mr. Sinclair was not

"That is not true.”
“But that this whole deal was for
the purpose of purchasing your si
lence in your newspapers?”
“That is absolutely false."
Later ’he witness added:
“Mr. Sinclair bought nothing ex
cept what the contract shows. With
all bis arrogance and wealth, he
was *no.t foolish enough to ask that
my paper alter Its policy.”
As Senator I,enroot pushed his
inquiry, Mr. Bonfils interrupted to
say:
“I can's here voluntarily. One
would think from the way you talk
I was a criminal.”
Senator Lenroot reverted to the
telegram as to the Post articles, it
was sent to Mr. Bonfils rist night
by W. C. Sheppard, managing edi
tor cf the Post. t
The chairman declared there was
nc-tlrmg to show from t-ie captions
of the articles, as contained in the
religram. pub'i-'hed since December
3 1922, that attacks were made on
the lense.
“You can't tell what’s .n the arti

from the time the lease was g: ant
ed down to the present day ”
(luestioned on Trouble
Senator Lenroot insisted that the
attacks on Sinclair ceased after the
signing of the million dollar con
tract. The chairman then question
ed Bonfils concerning his early life.
"Did you have difficulty in
Kansas Citv with. the r authorities?”
“Not that I remember.”
“Have you had some difficulty in
Denver?”
“Some little diffieu’ty there. I
know now you got your ouestion
fiom Thomas O’Donnell in Den
ver.”
Senator Walsh previously had
questioned the witness about the at
titude of the Post. The publisher
said his paper must have published
a hundred articles on the subject
"from September 15, 1922, up to the
present time.”
Bonfils told to the committee un
der further questioning that he had
been in lhe lottery business in Kan
sas City, Kan., when it was not il
legal.
“Was there not an indictment filed
against you and was not a plea, of
guilty entered to that indictment?”
Remembers no Indictment
"I have no recollection of such an
indictment.”
Bonfils stated that he could not re
member very distinctly what had
occurred 34 or 35 years ago.
“You would remember, however,
if you had been in any difficulty, with
the authorities?”
"I could hardly have anticipated
going into such matters."
"Now you do remember?”
“I think you would be very proud
in bringing it out.”
"The committee is very much in
terested in ascertaining whether the
deal you made with Sinclair was an
honest compromise of an honest debt
or wdiether it was a deal between you
and Mi - . Sinclair to purchase the si
lence of the Denver Post.”
“You are speaking for some one in
Colorado. In Colorado, after print
ing. a newspaper for 29 wears, at
tacking every form of corruption and
graft. I have naturally made ene
mies."
The witness then entered upon a
denunciation of Thomas O’Donneh.
Bonfils also praised the work of
his newspaper in “fighting predatory
wealth,” and declared it had the
greatest circulation per capita of its
publication city of any newspaper
"in the history of the world.”
"1 suppose Mr. Sinclair knew all
that,” Chairman Lenroot remarked.
Questit.ned by Senator Dill, Demo
crat, Washington, as to whether
the $250,1)00 paid by Sinclair was
“brought in a satchel," the witness
said the sum was deposited in lhe
Chase National bank in New York
to the joint credit of himself and
Stack.
The committee, with the scope of
its inquiry steadily broadening and
its list of prospective witnesses rap
idly lengthening, also had before it
today the president’s nominations
of Silas H. Strawn, of Chicago, and
lormer Senn‘ S” Atlee Pornerene, of
Ohio, to act as special counsel fir
the government in the oil eases un
der the Walsh resolution directing
court proceedings. Mr. Coolidgo,
in signing the • sure, notified rhe
senate that in doing so he expressed
“no opinion with reference to the
facts which purport to be- found >n
the preambles of the resolution,

DEY WANT no SENSE O’
CALLIN' DE HOSS-DOCTUH
FUH DAT SICK mule
HE JES' HAD ONE DEaa
z * E PIDEICS
(Copyright, 1924, by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
which declare the leases were made
in violation of the law and under
circumstances indicating iraud and
corruption.
Conspiracy Scented
Bonfils told the committee the
Pioneer company, a subsidiary of the
Midwest Refining company, and the
Bi Igo company, had claims in the
Teapot Dome reserve and had drill
ed three wells. He added that there
might have been an “understanding
between Doheny, Sinclair and the
Midwest crowd that there would be
a friendly co-operation between all
of the companies.”
“That is my conclusion,” he said.
The witness was unable to say
I whether Stack's complaint ever act-
I ually had been filed.
Asked if Sinclair knew of Its ex
j istence, Bonfils said he thought his
i lawyer, H. H. Schwartz, had taken
!a, copy of it to New York in July,
| 1922, when Schwart, Bonfils, his
' partner. H. 11. Tammen and Stack
| went there to see Sinclair.
I “I think Mr. Schwartz showed it
i to Mr. Zevely,” the witness said.
Replying to questions by Senator
; Walsh, Bonfils said that “there was
la conspiracy between Doheny an I
! Sinclair and the Standard Oil allied
companies to let Sinclair have the
Teapot Dome as far as they were
concerned.”
“They having no antagonistic in
terests in California,” he said. “They
had no objection to letting Mr.
Doheny have lhe naval reserve there
and they went into the agreement
along these lines and the leases were
granted.”
“Did you learn in these negotia
tions of the Standard Oil subsidiary
companies getting out of the field
in order to gel out of Sinclair’s
way?” asked Senator Walsh
"Yes, I did,” Bonfils replied.
“What did you learn about is?"
Paid Million in Oil
“That the Midwest and the Pioneer
got a million dollars in oil produced
by Sinclair company on the Teapot
Dome. That I have confirmed. The
feeling with Sinclair was not friend
ly to Mr. Stack. They treated him
like an office boy, and thought they
could settle with him on any terms
agreeable to them.
"The Pioneer company kept tell
ing him to settle with Sinclair and
to taße whatever they would give
him.”
STL DY OF INCOME TAXES
OF OIL LESSEES SOUGHT
WASHINGTON, Fob. 9.—Repre
sentative Browning, Tennessee, and
Jetfers, Alabama, today introduced
identical resolutions in the house
providing for congressional investi
gation of the income tax returns of
Harry F. Sinclair, lessee of Teapot
Dome; E. L Doheny. lessee of Cali
fornia naval oil reserves, and E. L.
Doheny, Jr.
Their resolutions provide the in
vestigation shall cover the period
from 1913, including 1922.
The investigating committee would
be composed of seven senators and
eleven house members.
HEFLIN WANTS THOMPSON
QUIZZED ON BIG LOAN
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—The sen
ate oil committee was urged today
by Seantor Heflin. Democrat, Ala
bama, to inquire into the financial
transactions of William B. Thomp
son, of New York, who, he said, was
a Sinclair stockholder and a borrow
er from the Chase National bank.
“He is a Sinclair stockholder,” the
Alabama senator asserted, “and due
ling the last presidential campaign
borrowed $3,000,000 on a dummy note
from a member of the federal reserve
system in New York. We should
know what he did with the money."
LOS ANGELES MAY TEST
DOHENY’S LEASES THERE
LOS ANGELES. Feb. 9.—Legal ef
fort to test the validity of a 30-year
lease given by the Board of Harbor
commissioners to E. L. Doheny’s
Pan-American company on munici
pally owned land in the harbor dis
trict here was urged in a message
sent to the city council late yester
day by Mayor George E. Cryer.
Attorneys have contended that the
harbor board is expressly prohibited
by the city charter and ordinances
from leasing for private use any por
tion of the municipally owned water
front property of which 1,200 front
feet were leased to Doheny on June
22, 1923.
Calling attention to these opinions
and indirectly to personal attacks
made on members of the harbor com
mission in connection with the lease,
the mayor's message asks that "the
matter be definitely settled and de
termined by the judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction to the end
that “agitation of the matter shall
cease.”
SPECIAL ATTORNEYS WAIT
ONLY ON SENATE ACTION
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Suit will
be filed to cancel the Teapot Dome
land California oil leases within ten
idays or two weeks at the longest,
Atlee Pornerene and Silas H. Strawn,
presidential counsel, indicated today.
This action depends entirely on the
promptness with which the senate
acts on their nominations, however.
The public lands committee, to
which the nominations were refer
red. is expected to take them up at
an executive session early next week.
[Senator Dill, Washington, will de
[ mand that certain witnesses be heard
■before the committee acts on the
' nominations.
The two lawyers declined today to
Ibe quoted concerning their plans, in
[advance of action by the senate.

Creager Calls Heflin
Klan Propagandist;
Replies to Charge
WASHINGTON, Fob. 9.—A chal
lenge to Senator Heflin, Dern'icrat,
Alabama, to declare publicly wlieth
er he is affiliated with the Ku Klux
Klan, was sent to the senator last
night by R. B. Creager. Republican
national committeeman for Texas.
In a letter replying to Senator
Heflin's recent a'bi'-k on him, Mi.
Creager declared that his accuser
was either a member of the klan
op a. propagandist for it, a - : I called
on him “to declare on the floor
lhe senate your past and present
klan affiliations.”
Again denying in tletail the sena
tor's acemations that he Had inter
ceded with Attorney General Daugh
erty and Postmaster General Hayes
io prevent prosecution of land
frauds in Texas, Mr. Creager
pointed cut that all of those charges
had been made "under the cloak of
it unfair that ex parte statements
senatorial immunity,” and declared
should have been put into the rec
ur I without his having an opportu
n.ty to reply.
"I charge you.” the letter con
tinued, "with gross misstatements
of fact. ... 1 charge . . . that
you never had any ilea that the
United States senate would under
take an investigation of this char-
"I charge that . . . the alleged
land frauds are a mere pretext seized
upon by you to discredit if possible
my persistent opposition to the Ku
Klux Klan and its political practices
resuiting in the certification of the
name of Earle B. Mayfield as sena
tor-elect from Texas, in whose covert
defense this resolution was conceived
and introduced.
“I charge that the introduction of
this resolution ’is the masked and
hooded political action of the Ku
Klux Klan directed against me solely
because of niy earnest endeavor, to
the extent of my limited power, to
bring about platform declaration by
both great political parties against
this un-American secret political so
ciety of which you are a member
or else an active and sympathetic
propagandist.”
$5,000 Pension for
Mrs, Harding Opposed
By Texas Lawmaker
WASHINGTON, Feb.. 9. —Opposi-
tion to pending legislation which
would grant Mis. Florence Kling
Harding an annual pension of $5,-
000 was expressed Friday by Rep
resentative Sumners, Democrat.
Texas, who wrote a letter to Chair
man Newton, of the house pensions
committee, asking for ai) oppor
tunity to discuss his views.
Mr. Sumners pointed out that
there were now widows of both Dem
ocratic and Republican former presi
dents and that congress could de
cline to grant them annuities with
out any show of sectionalism or
partisanship. Members of the fam
ilies of presidents, in Mr. Sumners’
view, are not entitled to aid from
the government.
