LEAD DOHENY—FRONT SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6. —(Associated Press.)—Ar- guments that the govern- ment placed the seal of legal- ity on the supposedly ques- tionable tender of naval oil land leases to Edward L. Doheny by failing to question the promt nent part played by former Secre- tary of the Navy Denby in the draw- ing up of such leases; were advanc- ed today in a heariig on a double appeal from a lower court judgment cancelling the leases with certain stipulations. The hearing is in the United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals, Frank J. Hogan, Washington, D. G., chief counsel for Doheny in the present action, argued: “It lg not claimed that Secretary, Denby, although he had sole juris- diction over the naval reserves, was a party to any conspiracy or guilty of wrong doing, or that he was im- posed upon, defrauded or influenced in any way.” While there was cer- tain “uncontradicted testimory"” that Denby had taken a part in all of the transactions involved, Mr. Hogan argued, the government nev- er sought at any time to review the Denby activities, and therefore placed the seal of full legal authority ‘on such activities. Arguments in the second step in the titanic struggle for possession of ofl leases involving millions of dol- lars, were expected to be concluded today, the government having con- cluded its opening argument yester- day. ‘The decision of the lower court b; federal Judge McCormick at Los An. geles held that Denby was “passive” through all negotiations and “tool no active part" In the making of the leases. Owen J. Roberts, special counsel for, the government, argued that the decision cancelling the leases should be uphled on the ground that the Joan by Doheny to Fall influenced the leases, that they were not open to competitive bidding « re kent secret; that tho order they were made was illege they wer to public lefbiebed aes Abate ae TRIO ADRIFT IN ROWBOAT PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 6.—(Asso- clated Press)—Three men in a row- boat from the Umatilla reef Heht- eae, Jas.

Scott as Chairman, Hears Reference to Threatened Money Stringency. County officials and their departments must practice stringent economy if the county is to be kept from skidding once more into the mire of financial disaster. This was the dominant fact emerging from the acre of bills through which the county commissioners ploughed at their regular October session today. The session was attended, fer the first time in two months, by the full membership of the board, as | J. E. Scott, recently reinstated by order of Judge Harry P.

With three months yet remaining, the to- tal has already climbed to within $21,000 of this Mmit. As a result, heads of departments which are skirting the danger ark are slated to receive an informal warning that they“must act at once to keep within their budgets, if necessary curtailing thelr per- sonnel and pruning their equipment to the essential minimum.
