P, President Says Kelly Charges, Prepared Last July, Were Delayed for Campaign Washington, Oct. 28—(?)—Presi- dent Hoover today denounced as an attempt to fasten an odious oil-scan- dal upon his administration the charges by Ralph 8. Kelley, former head of the Denver field force of the department of interior, that oil com- panies were obtained illegally valu- able oil shale lands from the govern- ment. The president said that while pub- ‘ication of the Kelley charges in the newspapers did not represent the high standard of American journalism, the newspapers might have been misled. He said Kelley or the newspapers pub- ming e y of the charges investigation, Mr. Hoover said that though Kelley Newspaper Says Illinois Man’s Family Make a Deal With Kidnaping Gang WIFE MAINTAINS SILENCE Calls Off Outside Help in Search for Husband; Disappoints Protective League Chicago, Oct. 28—(P)—A special dispatch to the Chicago Tribune from Galva today said the family of Earl L.

Mr. Hoover pointed out Kelley was in Washington for six weeks last year and during that time made no reference to the charges to his su- Periors. Simultaneously, the presi- dent added, Kelley was negotiating for the sale of these charges to a rival political party and even then held them up for some weeks so they might be launched in the middle of the political campaign. ‘When charges unsupported by evi- B expressed belief that if an extortion gang obtained “easy money” from Yocum, other small town bankers Cacia, = saying, adding that “. as soon Yooum is released we are going into action.” ~ ‘The criminal department ot the as- sociation revealed at the same time it has been conducting @ quiet inves- tigation of the recent kidnapings of William Urban and Frank Daugherty, Hoth of Peoria, and of a Des Moines, Towa, cigar store owner.

They cowed a negro watchman with pistols before anyone else came, then as the clerks arrived, lined them up against the wall beside the watch- man. Half an hour later the manager came and confessed that he knew the combination of the safe. But the excitement drove the com- bination from his mind and his hands trembled so that he could not open the vault. One of the robbers, press- ing @ gun, against the manager's side, forced him to telephone M. Rosenthal, Proprietor of the store, who furnish- ed the combination without asking questions.

One man was killed at the head of the mine by the blast. Bodies of four trapped miners were sighted on the 16th level, Several rescue workers were over- come by the gas, known as coal damp, and one was carried from the mine. The damp sent rescuers—number- ing about 5—back to the tenth level of the mine where ventilation was good. Efforts were being made to obtain brattice cloth to curtain off mine entries and aid ventilation low- er down, Workers estimated it would six men from five to six hours to carry one body from the lower leveis, because of the mass of debris to be traversed. It was impossible to send @ car into the affected regions. Miller D. Hay, chief mine inspector, who entered the workings on his ar- rival here early today from Ada, Okla., was authority for the statement that there was little’ hope for the men riot in the 16th, 17th and 18th levels, Some Are More Hopetuj A few more hopeful watchers at the mine said there was a bare possibility of some of the trapped men surviving if they had kept their ledge doors closed. The force of a mine ex- Plosion is upwards, they said, and indications were that the blast oc- curred between the 12th and 10th levels, No one would conjecture as to the cause of the explosion, which crush- ed one man against wooden struts at the mine head, ripped sheet iron housings off the top of the shaft and shot flames 200 feet into the air, casting a reflection on the grey walls of the state penitentiary half a mile away.
