Says Fall Drafted Order. "Fall even drafted the letter of transmittal, which accompanied it from the Navy Department to the White House." he continued.

The President went to his office shortly before 11 o'clock and it was intimated that he was waiting only for a definite reply from some of those with whom he had talked.

Canada defeated Czechoslovakia, 30 to 0. The Swedes, scoring three goals in each period, won by superior all. round play. The Scandinavian team did far better work as a combination and was composed of much faster men, who skated rings round the Swiss. The latter appeared to know little more than the rudiments of the game, and the winner's score might have been greater had not the Northerners let up in the last two periods.

The Americans simply toyed with the Belgians during the first period. Drury, Rice and McCarthy promptly got their combination work going. completely bewildering the Belgian players and scoring almost at will. After the Americans had the Belgians down four goals to nothing, Manager Haddock sent on Frank Sinnott Boston relieve McCarthy. Later John Lyons of Boston took Drury's place at center.

The men still being little short of the best condition, their manager, after having the game safely stowed away, decided to give them: all a good workout. On Wednesday at 2 o'clock Haddock's men meet France, and at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning they play England.

Fall) in dealing with these matters was submitted to me prior to the adoption thereof, and the policy decided upon and the subsequent acts have at all times had my entire approval." This statement. it is claimed, proves that President Harding approved the leasing policy in general and Teapot Dome and Elk Hills leases in particular. Although this document has already been put in evidence, it has naturally not been stressed out of regard to Mr. Harding's memory. Of even greater importance is the question whether or not these leases were ever discussed at Cabinet meet.

ings. The evidence on that point is specific. Discussed by Cabinet. Writing to President Harding 011 June 3, 1922, Secretary Fall said: "As you will recall. Mr.

President, the legal questions involved in the making of contracts for oil exchange for storage, as just hereinbefore Per ferred to, was discussed upon more than one occasion in at least a casual manner in Cabinet meetings." Another passage in this same letter reads as follows: "The two departments (1. Navy and Interior) have in the actions taken, and now reported in detail to you as heretofore they have been reported and discussed from time to time, both privately with yourself and in your Cabinet meetings, administered this trust as they understood it under the law, Asked when he had first learned that Secretary Denby contemplated turning over the oil reserves to Secretary Fall, Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, testiHed as follows: Quote Roosevelt's Testimony. I recall it, Senator. it was after a Cabinet meeting. The Secretary (Mr.

Denby) returned to the Department and told me that this subject had come up for discussion at a CabInet meeting." Of even greater importance, in the opinion of Senator Walsh, is the testimony of Rear Admiral John K. who was in charge of naval oil reserves and of all negotiations between Mr. Denby and Mr. Fall. His testimony actually fixes the date of the Cabinet discussion as Nov.

29. 1921. Asked regarding an opinion of the Judge. Advocate General, Admiral Robison said: "This was subsequent to a complete discussion of the matter in Cabinet." Senator Walsh: Well, let me say for your information that Secretary Fall 88ys it was casually referred to in the Cabinet meeting. Admiral Robison: Well the only note 1 have here is that the Secretary stated that the matter had been discussed at Cabinet today.

This is on the 29th of November, 1921. Senator Walsh: How can you assume that it was under consideration by the Cabinet and the Cabinet had favorably decided on it? Admiral Robison: The Secretary (Mr. Denby) says so. Senator Walsh: Where? Admiral Robison: Right here (reading from minutes of a meeting of the Navy Department Council): "The Secretary stated that matter had been discussed at Cabinet today; that the questions that came to his mind were, first, whether we have 14 legal right and second whether it is desirable to use it now or store 11." That is the sition. Senator Walsh: Yes, but I called your attention to what seemed to me your reckless statement that the matter had been considered by the Cabinet and favorably disposed of by the Cabinet.

Admiral Robison: That is not a reckless statement. Senator Walsh: You draw that from that statement. Admiral Robison: No. Senator Walsh: From what do you draw it? Admiral Robison: From the direct statement to me by the Secretary (Mr. Denby) that it, was.

Senator Walsh: That is new tes. timony. Admiral Robison: I am willing to add it. "King" Purnell' Son Dies. Benton Harbor, Jan.

Stockholders of the All -American Brokers, today asked Justice Faber in Supreme Court to allow them to discontinue the action brought for them by Paul Jones against Robert M. Feely, the erstwhile president, and others, as the only means now available for ridding themselves of the receiver, Port Warden Charles W. Jannicky, Mr. Jannicky was appointed receiver of the affairs of the company last October and several futile moves have since been made to oust him from the position, one on the ground that as port warden and receiver he holds two public offices, contrary to law.

The receiver's attorney said that Mr. Jannicky as receiver would be glad enough to step out of the job; that there was "no money in it for him," and that he only wanted to be secured against personal liability for any debts he might have created in his capacity as receiver.

Justice Faber said he would sign an order allowing the discontinuance as soon as the receiver is released from liability. A large delegation of stockholders, men and women, accompanied Mr. Jones to court and demanded to know why the receiver had taken no steps 10 collect $10,441.35, which they allege Senator John A. Hastings owes their company. Hastings has been rather closely linked with the troublesome litigation growing out of the tangled affairs of the associated companies and the All-American Brokers.

Mr. Jones pointed to the fact that Receiver Jannicky, as Democratic leader, is the political boss of Senator Hastings, and that because of the receiver's inactivity the company itself will bring suit against Senator Hastings to recover that sum just as the receivership is ended, soones declared.
