They were tried together and to- gether were convicted and later were removed to the state prison together.

He added that there was only one government permit held by Campbell, but he could not recall whether it was for the maximum acreage allowed under the law. “Do you recall that there was a contention that Mr. Campbell con. trolled more acreage than was allow- ed under the law?” Asked Senator Sterling, The witness could not say. “Didn't you hear that Mr. Camp- bell got his employes to obtain land permits from the government?” ator Sterling pursued I don't think we ought to go into government oll land from Campbell, but did get forty acres from thegGor- don Campbell-Kevin Syndicate in settlement of his fees when he left the company. This was private land, he said, and he subsequently Jearned that there was a private as- signment of the land to certain land holders, The witness was excused and the committee adjourned untill tomorrow.

Stating that the ofl land leased while Mr. Daniels was secretary amounted only to 120 acres to the Consolidated Mutual Qil Company, and five wells to the Boston Pacific Oil Company—in reserve number 2 in California—Commander Stuart said that after the result of the 1920 election “Mr. Daniels particularly stated that he had consistently re- fused to open up the reserves and that he would not change that pol- fey before leaving office.” “To any of us who tried to get Mr. Daniels to loosen his hold on the reserves in cases where he con- sidered it very essential to do de- fensive drilling.” the letter added, “it is highly amusing to see the apparent attempt to make him out an ‘exploiter' of the reserves, I recall distinctly that, in the case of the Consolidated Mutual, to whom ‘was granted eventually a lease for 120 acres, Mr. Daniels was very much afraid, and so stated, that, even granting that water conditions were as bad as represented, the leas- ing of even this small acreage would tend to establish-a precedent which might be used by others to attempt to obtain other leases. naval officer who had anything to do with the naval serves during Secretary Daniels’ tenure of effice who would not tes- tify most emphatically that hig at- titude at all times was to keep as much oll in the ground as possible.
