PAGE FOUR. ADOSEVELTI GMLLED BEFORE U5. OL JURY Rear Admiral Gnffen Also Witness in Investigation. WASHINGTON. May 15.—Theo- dore Roosevelt,, a’sistant secretary of the navy, and Rear Admiral R. 8. Griffin, retired, were the chief witnesses as the special fed- eral grand jury resumed its inquiry into charges of fraud and corrup- tion in connection with the naval ofl leases. Assistant Secretary Roosavelt car- ried to the’ White House for Pres!- dent-Harding’s signature the famous executive order of May 31, 1921, un- éer which Secretary Fall took over control of the naval oll reserves and leased them to Harry F. Sinclair and Edward L. Doheny. Also at the request of Fall, Roos- evelt sent Marines to Teapot Dome In the summer of 1922 to drive off “squatters” after that reserve had been taken over by Sinclair. Admiral Griffin, formerly chief of the bureau of engineers, was in charge of the reserves for a number of years and was one of the naval officers who protested vigorously to Secretary Denby against their trans- fer to the interlor department. He sought to amend the original drat? of the executive order so as to leave control with the navy, but testified before the senate ojl committee that mn amendment he had written into “TIT” GLADDENS. SORE, TIRED FEET “Tiz" makes sore, burning, tired feet fairly dance with delight. Away go the aches and pains, the corns, callouses, blisters and bunions. “Tiz"” draws out the acids and pol- sons that puff up your feet. No matter how hard you work, how Jong you dance, how far you walk, or how long you remain on your feet, “Tiz” brings restful foot com- fort. “Tiz" is wonderful for tired, aching, swollen, smarting feet. Your Teet just tingle for joy; shoes never hurt or seem tight. Get a box of “Tiz” now from any drug or department store. End foot torture forever—wear smaller shoes, keep your feet fresh, sweet and happy.—Adv. DOBBIN REALTY CO. Removed to No. 226 E. 2nd St. Zuttermeister Bldg. the order was completely changed in the interlor department. Roosevelt also suggested changes in the orig- inal draft and since the resignation of Denby has stated that he opposed the transfer from the first but kept silent because he did not want to be put in the position of “running out’ onshis chief. In bringing his brother Archie before’ the senate - committee last January, Mr. Roosevelt produced one of the many sensations in the sen- ate Inquiry. Ho related that he lis- tened in on a telephone conversa: tion between his brother and G. D. Wahlberg, formerly private secre- tary to Sinclair, in which there was a mention of $68,000 sent to the for- man of Fall's New Mexico ranch. Other witnesses before the grand jury today were Harvey A. Wilcox of El Paso, Texas; A. D. Brownfield of Carrizozo, New Mexico; Lee A. Gifford, Albuquerque, New Mexico, and W. C. Mendenhall, K. C, Heald and W. 8. Kent of the interior de- partment. Wilcox and the New Mexico witnesses were said to have knowledge regarding expenditures made by Fall in New Mexico after his appoint it to the cabinet. PRESIDENTIAL PARDON UPSET (Continued From Page One) said Judge Carpenter in his opinion. “The power to punish for con- tempt is inherent in, and essential to the very existence of the judiclary. If the president is allowed to subst!- tute his decretion for that courts in these instances then truly the pres- {dent becomes the ultimate source of authority. Such a holding would become a. distortion of that cardinal principle of American institutions that the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government are coordinate and proudly inde- pendent.

WASHINGTON, May 15.—For more than a year, Washington has waited patiently for just what has hap- pened in France in the last 48 hours—a change from the uncompromising attitude of Raymond Poincare to the flex- ibility of a new administration unembarrassed by the com- Four blocks of wharves were brigrdes of its and other len hose lines, Pictures were taken er borrowings inside the country and increase in the internal debt. it was inevitable a year ago that the Poincare administration would be wrecked on finanetal issues un- less compromises were made.

The opening of these vast timber lands to exploitation is not expected by lumber manufacturers to reduce lumber prices. The demand for buliding in the last-few years has necessitated the expenditure of nearly $20,000,000 and while build- ing operations have glackened to some extent, shortage of housing facilities will necessitate continua- tion of operations at a high pace for some years to come, The lumbering of however, is counted on to open to development another large region in Oregon. They lie adjacent to the Oregon, California and eastern rail- road and the new operations are ex- pected to justify the extension of this road to eastern and northern connections, The sale Thursday will be followed June 5 by the dis- posal at the same place of the long prairie and north marsh units of these tracts the Kalamath reservation which embraces 74,300 acres on which 700,000,000 feet of timber, mostly yellow pine, is growing at present. The long prairie unit will be tapped beth by the Oregon, California and eastern and by the central Pacific road, which through the building of the Natron cut-off, now under con- struction, will shortly become part. of the main line of the Southern Pacific from Portland to San Fran- cisco. The purchase of these lands prob- ably will mark another step in the transfer of the main activities of the lumbering Industry from the south to the Pacific northwest. That move already has resulted in the building of whole new cities and com- munities in hitherto undeveloped regions and while the stand of southern pine is by no means ex- hausted the farsighted lumber men of that section are already assuring themselves of logs when the growth in the southern states shall have been reduced to 2 by 4%s and 1 by! 1%s. The effect of the sales by the government is of far more im: Portance to the citizens in general as is first apparent. Outside of the district immediately developed deal- ers, contractors and members of the skilled building trades will be affected. Railroads in certain sec. tions will carry more freight and the business which will acerue to coastwise and trans-oceanic ship- ping will be tremendous. In 1923 the timber cut on the Kalamath reservation yielded the Indians thereon over $750,000 and the new operations will make them close rivalsin wealth to the ofl land holding Aberingines of Oklahoma. Latest reports from the southern pine mills however, show no falling off ‘n demand or production. In the last week new orders increased 8.56 per cent over the previous week, shipments remained almost station: acy and production advanced 3.9 per cent. About 76.000.000 feet was pro- duced, a drop of 1,000,000 feet from the corresponding week of 1923. DOBBIN REALTY CO. Removed to No, 226 E. 2nd St. Zuttermeister Bldg. RE AND TRAVEL Excursion via Motor Car FORMER BANK THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1924. OFFICIAL HAS WIFE ARRESTED FOR FORGERY; MARRIAGE ANNULMENT SOUGHT NEW YORK, May 15.—Mrs. Eleanor Elaine Lee Harris, wife of Beverly D. Harris, one time vice president of the City National bank, was locked in a cell in a police sta- tion yesterday charged by her husband with third degree forgery. Mr. Harris, who recently sued for annulment of his marriage, which the jury recommended, charged his wifo with submitting a letter to which his name had been forged in an effort to gain a retrial of the annullment contest. The husband, with his attorney and a detective went to his wife's room in a hotel last night, where the officer arrested her. As Mrs. Harris realized what was taking place she appeared dumb- founded aud began to weep- “Reverly,you're not going to do this to met” she cried. “Ob, you're not going to do this.” The banker turned away, accord: ing to the detective and said: “Have this woman removed from my prerence."” She immediately was taken to the station house. Bail was fixed at $3,000, which it was found dimpos- sible to raise at that time. Mrs Harris today denied her hus- band’s charge and added that it “should now prove to the public the enormity of the conspiracy of which T have been the victim for the past three years.” “{NCLE BUDDY” HERE TO GONDUGT SERVICES AT NAZARENE CHURCH (Contributed) Perhaps among all the many dif- ferent characters and personalities who are engaged in various lines of Christian activity, there is none more simply original or unique than Rev. Bud Robinson, who Is known and loved by Chrietians of all deno- minations practically all over the world, Uncle Buddie as he is called by thousands, is perhaps one of the most quoted preachers in America. |. Nearly every preacher uses some of his quaint illustrations or quotes some of his odd sayings. When ‘Uncle .Buddie' “got re- ligion” ‘he could neither read, write or talk so no one who was not fami- Mar with him could understand what he was trying to say. Yet today he can quote more than one fourth of the Bible. He has written a number of books which are being read all over the world. Wherever he goes large crowds come to hear him. He laughs and crys and his audience laugh and cry with him. He has calls from all, over the world and his slate is full for four or five years to come. Yet Casper is to have the opportunity of hearing Uncle Bud. ‘The pastor of the local Nazarene church has long been after him to stop in Casper for a few days as he journeys back and forth and at last a date has been secured and Uncle Buddie will be in Casper to night and will speak at the Nazarene church, Corner South Poplar and 12th streets. He will remain over Sunday and will speak*each evening this week and at all services over the Sabbath day. From all indications, there will be a full house awaiting him, but there will be no reserved seats those who come early will be suré to get one. Song service will begin at 7:30 each evening.

Complimenting the assistance: re- ceived from Casper and Natrona county in the work of the Wyoming Children's Home society, O, E. Mc- Cracken, superintendent, has ad- dressed a letter to H. C. Chappell, chairman of the budget committee of the Casper Community fund in which he declares that the! first quarter of the year 1924 has just closed and we have had the busiest and most profitable year in the His- tory of the Wyoming Children’s Home Society, in the number of Homeless children handled and plac- ed for adoption in the very best of homes throughout the state. Casper and Natrona County have been most fortunate in that more have been placed there for adoption than any other county in the state—and none have contributed so much to the society as has Casper and Natrona county in the way of funds to carry on this work. “We have placed seven infant babes in Natrona county for adoption since January 1, this year, and three of these were received from Casper. Beside these we have taken nine for boarding—some of these may later be for adoption and ir addition to these there have been a number of delinquent cases turned to our Rep- resentative, Mrs. Nesbitt of Casper. who has, or is still taking care of them pending Court action, as every resource is exhausted in locating re- latives of those left to our Society be- fore we place them either for free Homes or adoption.” SUICIDE BY GAS ROUTE IS GAINING BERLIN, May 15.—Sulcide by ga, has increased to such an extent i, Berlin that the firemen huve been equipped with oxygen tanks and the public is urged to call the firemen whenever such a case is discovered.
