He has already de-fled one subpena and a hearing has been set on the question of his contempt of court. Stewart May Testify. There is a possibility that Colonel Stewart may take the witness stand in the January trial and help the Government forge the last link of evidence between Osier and Sinclair.

Stewart was "unavoidably absent when called as a witness in the Teapot Dome civil suit in Wyoming in iti2S -But. hn was in Washinnton ready to take the stand last October, though what he would have to say is not revealed by the Government. There is no question about the constitutionality of this latest act of Congress, reducing the statute of limitation back to three years, lt is stated. The law says that It is not applicable to offenses on which indictments nave already been found or to any pro ceedings under those indictments. It is possible, OI course, mai r.vei-hart will quibble over the application of this law to himself, but Senator Walsh and Messrs.

HOTEL FIRE TIES UP BROADWAY TRAFFIC; DAMAGES 100 ROOMS Flames on Roof of Claridge Bring Crowd Water Seeps Into Floors Below. The entire top floor of the Hotel Claridge, 44th st. and Broadway, Manhattan, was flooded last night as firemen fought a chimney flue Are which started in the kitchen of Chin's Chinese Restaurant, on the second floor of the 15-story building. Water soaked through the floors and more than 100" rooms, down to the fourth floor, were made unfit for occupancy.

The fire was discovered when a back -draft filled the restaurant kitchen with smoke. By the time firemen responded flames were shooting high above the roof of the hotel. The flue In which the fire burned separates the Claridge from the Hotel Cadillac. Guests who were In their rooms fled to the lobby and hotel attendants went into the other rooms and saved the property of the guests who were out. The restaurant was not damaged.

Traffic on Broadway was held up for about 15 minutes by the fire apparatus and by the crowd which gathered. The crowd divided Its attention between the Are and a prohibition raid on the Moscow Restaurant, which is almost across the street.

Dee. 31 A third general law, just passed by Congress for the specific purpose of aiding the Governments case, will be available for Messrs. Pomerene and Roberts, Government oil counsel, when they reopen the Teapot Dome conspiracy rase against Albert Fall and Harry F. Sinclair. This latest legislation so changes the statute ot limitation in conspiracy eases that M.

T. Everhart, Fall's son-in-law, will be forced to tell the Jury where he got 230.JOO In Liberty bonds in 1923 which were traced to Fall's bank account. First Special Legislation. Congress on July 3, 1926. passed the first special legislation for these oil rases in the form of a bill prohibiting appeals from court orders prior to trial.

This act was necessary to eliminate the endless delays incident to getting the cases before a Jury. It was successful. At the same time. Congress passed the run-away witness law, designed to bring back to the United States Harry L. Blackmer and James O'Neil, wealthy oil men, who had fied the country to France and were wanted by the Government as witnesses against Fall and Sinclair.

Blackmer, under this law, has been ordered by the court to return, but, through his counsel, refused to do so, under threat of a 100,000 fine for contempt of court. Everbart's Refusal to TelL At the Fall-Sinclair trial last October, which collapsed under the charge of Jury-tampering by Burns agents hired by Sinclair, the Government prosecutors were blocked in their efforts to trace money from Sinclair and the Continental Trading Company to Fall by the refusal of Everhart to tell where he got these Liberty Bonds on the ground that such evidence might Incriminate him. Thus invoking his Constitutional rights, Fall's son-in-law was upheld by Justice Siddons. A serious gap appeared in the Government's chain of evidence designed to link Sinclair to Fall by means of these $230,500 in Liberty Bonds. Change Statute of Limitation.

To take away the grounds on which Everhart based his silence. Senator Walsh, original prosecutor of the Teapot Dome investigation, framed a bill reducing the statute of limitation in conspiracy cases from six to three years the usual length of time for all other Federal crimes. As a result of war frauds. Conerpss rnlspri it to six years in November, 1921, for wns oarticuiar crime. on Dec.

13 last the Senate nassprf tne walsn bill without debate, the House following suit six days later. The measure has now been signed uiB jrresiaenu How New Provision Will Work. According to Governmsnk tors, this chanse will wnrlr in tv, lunowmg manner to get the needed eviueiice irom Jivernart: According to the Government's case, Fall leased Teapot Dome to Sin clair on April 7, 1922. On May 8, 1922, H. S.

Osier, president of the Continental Trading Company, a dummv concern of which Sinclair was one of me sponsors, drew $300,000 in Liberty ouiius irom a new York bank. Everhart was in New York at that timo On May 22 or thereafter, $230,500 of mesa same MDerty Bonds were dp posited to Fall's account by Everhart ui western oanKS. Liability Under Old Law. The Government counsel, at the October trial, asked Everhart where he got the' bonds. Everhart refused to answer, on the ground that his test! mony might incriminate him.

By that, he meant that, if he told wnere he got the bonds, he mieht. unaer tne six year statute of limita tion. And himself drawn into the alleged conspiracy of Fall and Sinclair, with the possibility of indict ment, prosecution, conviction and punishment. His act occurred in May, taj, ana under tne old consdracv law he was criminally liable until May, Now the law has been changed back to three years and the statute of limitation on Everhart acts of May, expired in May, 1825. and there' fore, no matter what his part In this transaction mignt be.

as revealed from the witness stand, he cannot be indicted and prosecuted for it. Statement by Fall. In other words, Congress has nassed a general law reducing the statute of limitation on conspiracy cases for the chief purpose of forcing testimony irom avernarc Fall, after the breakdown of the October trial, Issued a statement to the Associated Press here just before leaving lor his home in New Mexico, in which he said that In the next trial no person connected with his side of the case would invoke his constitutional rights of Immunity, to escape giving testimony. There Is much speculation over the meaning of this statement. In some quarters, It Is held to mean that Fall will Instruct Everhart to make a clean breast of his entire connection with this deal from the witness stand.

What Everhart Might Say. In other quarters, this Interpretation Is denied, on the ground that Fall and his defense have shown a profound unwillingness to take the stand and tell a straightaway story of what happened and that lt Is inconceivable that this attitude would now be changed. What Everhart would say In response to questions as to the source of the $230,500 Liberty Bonds Is. of course, wide open to conjecture. Government counsel believe he would answer that this money came from Osier rather than from Sinclair, In which case lt would be necessary for the prosecution to carry Its chain of evidence from Fall through Everhart to Osier and then on to Sinclair.

The Connecting Link. The connecting link between Osier rind Sinclair Is another weak spot for the Government, where the testimony of Blackmer and O'Neil Is greatly needed. Sinclair, Blackmer. O'Neil and Robert Stewart of the Standard of Indiana underwrote the Continental Trading Company In 1921 and nut Osier at the head of It. The details of this deal are vague and Its purposes even more obscure.

Sinclair, of course, refuses to take the witness stand and tell what he knows about it. Blackmer Is In Paris, undr sulipcna to return for the trial on Jan. 6, but through his counsel. Nathan L. Miller of New York, he has announced he will not return.
