P i FALL SOUGHT REMOVAL OF NAVY OFFICERS Asked Transfer From Wash-, ington Because of Oil Leas- ing Objections, Testimony Washington, Nov. eretary of the Interiar Fall demand- ed the transfer from Washington of naval officers who objected to leases he proposed to make on naval oil re- serves, Commander H. A. Sturat of | the Navy testified today before the | senate public lands committee i vestigating the subject. NOT ENDANGERED Washington, Nov. 2.—(By the As- sociated Press)—The leasings of Teapot Dome naval oil reserve to} the Harry F. Sinclair interests was unjustifiable if based on the dan-| ger of loss of oil by drainage through wells on adjoining proper- ty, W. C. Mendenhall, chief geologist of the geological survey told the senate committee investigating the lease. Frederick G. Clapp, geologist | employed by the committee to sur- vey the reserve, joined him in de- claring the oil on the reserve should have been retained in the ground. Mendenhall testified the drainage of oit through nearby wells would have been negligible as the read oil reserve on Teapot Dome was protect- ed by a belt of land surrounding it and included in the reserve through which drainage could not penetrate. The additional land had been includ- ed in the president's order creating the reserve for the specific purpose, he said, of preventing drainage of the main supply which it was in- tended should be held on the greund indefinitely. Mr..Clapp declared the lease was justified as far south as the “fault,” but said he did not consider it pre- ferable to have 2,000,000 barrels in steel storage rather than 20,000,000 in storage in the reserve. There was danger, he said that the storage tanks might be destroyed by the en-|. emy in time of war. SAYS UTILITY WAS UNFAIR F. A.

He demanded return of the alleged $45 excess payment, and discontinuance of alleged aggravating methods of the utility.

Macfadden of the North Dukota Bankers association said. ‘He declared that the reports of closed banks that have appeared in'the press the past few weeks have been erroneous in that these insti- tutions were not closed but “were merely placed in\ the hands of a trustee, as provided by Senate bill No, 250 passed by the late legisla- ture, “These banks ‘have not been closed but are still doing business,” said Mr, Matfadden. “Owing to ex- traordinary. withdrawals some banks have had their reserves impaired and unless the new law had been invoked they probably would have been fore- ed to close. Now they are enabled to remain open and are doing business under the state deposits ‘guaranty fund which absolutely protects the new depositors against loss. Sheep lined Vests $6.95.
