CHICAGO, Jan. 25.—The National Safety Council today, in announcing that 15,000 deaths were caused in the United States during 1922 by automobiles, outlined three recom- mendations which it said could be applied in any city to bring a re- duction in street accidents. They are: 1—That traffic movement along main arteries and subsidiary chan- nels be studied and traffic maps made so that traffic distribution and control may be made effective. 2—That city spot maps showing the place of every traffic accident be made so that local centers of hazard may be identified and Proper treatment of conditions pre- seribed. 3—That the intelligent co-operation of every user of public streeia be obtained through community or- ganization and education directed at the development of safer conditions and conduct everywhere. Automobile deaths in 1923 ere estimated by the safety council to have been 1,000 more than in the preceding year.

Fall of New Mexico, who retired the Teapot Dome naval oil lease to it was a purely personal loan to a Hfetong friend and one which he in- tended should be repaid, Mr, Fall had been summoned for examination today but at his re- quest, because of his physical con- dition, his appearance has been ferred until Monday. Upon his rival here last night from New Orleans he declined to discuss Mr. Doheny’s testimony or make any statement other than to announce that he was a “sick man”, Accompanied from the south by J. W. Zevely, personal friend and counsel of Harry F. Sinclair, Mr, Fall spent the night as his guest. Mr. Zevely also came to Washing- ton under a subpoena to appear late today before the senate committee for questioning regarding a loan of approximately $100,000 which it has been testified was made to him by Sinclair, whose interests obtained a lease of the Teapot Dome naval oll reserve in Wyoming while Mr. Fall was head of the interior department. Appearing before the committee as a voluntary witness, Mr. Doheny gave testimony yesterday even more dramatic than that of Archie Roose- velt. He argued vigorously against any connection that thé personal loan to Secretary Fall had any con- nection with the subsequent award to his company. of government oil contracts. At the conclusion of the reading of his statement Mr. . through his counsel, Gavin McNab, proposed to the committee that his “I'm the president, my life is secretary, I think—I don't know; it's never functioned.” Chairman Lenroot led the witness into the story of the trip to Russia. Zevely said Sinclair had some con- cessions from the Chita Govern ment, but he did not know, In the disturbed state of affairs in Ruseia, “whether he had anything of value.” One condition of the concession. he said, was that it would be in- valid if the United States fi 1 to reoognize the Chita Government. Mr. Sinclair had great respe-t for Mr. Fall's ability as an Internationa: lawyer,” Mr. Zevely continued. “Mn Fall had served on the forelgn rela- tions committee and was familiar with foreign affairs." Zevely said he regarded Mr. Fall as indebted to Sinclair. for the Uberty bond loan; that-he held the note simply as trustee for Mr. Sin- clair. He added fhat he thought the note bore interest at six percent and was payable on demand. Asked about the circumstances of the loan, Zevely said Fall told him at Three Rivers that he wanted to buy some property and that he was expecting some money, but that if he did not get it he would need a loan. DRILLING HALTED ON OIL LEASES. NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—The Dow Jones and Company News Ticker today said that officials of the Pan- American Petroleum and Transport company stated instructions had been received from Washington ordering all work stopped on naval reserve number 1 in California, leased to the company. Available officials at the com- Pany’s offices here declined to com- ment on the Ticker report, ‘saying that if such instructions had been given they probably were received by E. L.

Later the Ticker said that its re- Port was based upon private infor- mation and confirmation could not be obtained. from the cabinct last March, is back in Washington to tell his own story about the series of recent @isclo- sures which have made him the center of a sensation whose coun- terpart the natlona! capital has not seen in many yeurs. Hoe arrived late last night in re- sponse to the summons of a sen- ate committee of which he once was the ranking Republican mem- ber, and will appear before it on Monday. He will bo questioned in the light of testimony given yestor- day by E. L. Doheny, the oil mag- nate who said he loaned $100,000 to the then Interior secretary a few months before the Doheny interests closed a lease in 1922 for an oll re- serve in California. Today Mr. Fall rematned in com- Plete seclusion. Word was sent out to inquirers that he had been or- dered by his physiclan to remain in bed and to receive no callers. He added that the had made no statement to anyone regarding the Doheny testimony and would make none pricr to his appearance be- fore the committee. Not omly do members of the pub- lc lands committee plan to ark the former secretary about the loan testilfed to by Mr. Doheny but they will ask him egain whether he hac any Official connections with the Sinclair ofl Interests, who hold the celebrated Teapot Dome ol! lease In Wyoming. It was that feature of the inquiry that occupied the com- mittee at today’s session, with J. W. Zevely, counsel for Harry F. Sinclair and host to Mr. Fall dur- Ing his visit on the stand. The story told yesterday by Mr. Doheny, coming on the hee!s of the sensational testimony of Archie Roosevelt, created a stir which was felt today throughout all offi- clal Washington. The cabinet dis- cussed the situation, but apparent- ly there was no decision to depart from the present policy under which the department of justice, at the direction of President Coolidge, is “observing” the senate investiga- tion for any conclusive evifence of wrong doing. Among members of the senate there was renewed pressure for ac- tion to cancel both the Teapot and California leases, and there were many indications that the move would have support from both sides develop further the recent testimony of W. G. Wahlberg to the effect that Harry F. Sinclair, president of the Sinclair Oil corporation had turned ever to his friend, Colonel William Zevely of Muskogee, Okla., $25,000 in lberty bonds which were not accounted for to him (Wahlberg). This inquiry would be asked to determine whether any of the money was brought into Oklahoma for the last gubernatorial campaign according to the resolution, which calls attention to the testimony given during the impeachment trial of former Governor J. C. Walton “indicating rumors throughout the state” that such had been done.
