RS S N 0L DEBSON U. S. Charges Judge Kennedy Erred in Filing Appeal in Cheyenne. CHEYENNE, B August 1.— The Government filed its appeal in the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve case today. The appeal contends that Judge T. Blake Kennedy of the United States District Court for Wyoming erred in virtually all the conclusions set forth in his decree dismissing the Government sult for annulment of the lease held by the Mammoth Oll Company. The petition for appeal to the Eighth Circult Court of Appeals, which was sllowed by Judge Kennedy, sets forth in detail 64 alleged errors by the trial Judge. The first 14 errors assigned to the | court by Government counsel bear| upon Judge Kennedy's judgment con- cerning issues of the suit. The next 50 involve the exclusion by the court of testimony and exhibits offered by | the Government and objected to by | the defendant, including the court's refusal to compel M. T. Everhart to testify. Everhart is a son-in-law of Albert B. Fall, former Secretary of the Interlor. The evidence, the exclusion of which the petition for appeal asserts was erroneous, relates to certain Liberty| bonds, which the Government charges found their way from Harry F. Sin- clair, president of the Mammoth Ofl | Company, to Full, then Becretary of | the Interfor. pursuant to collusion and fraud alleged in the granting of the lease. This testimony and these exhibits have to do with the purchase by the Continental Trading Co., Ltd., of Lib- erty bonds, which are shown later to have been in the possession of Fall or Everhart. The government's conten- tion was that certain of the bonds passed into possession of Sinclair and went from Sinclair to Fall to Ever- hart. Councll for the Mammoth com- pany objected to the admission of this evidence on the ground that it related to transactions between parties other than those involved in the annulment sult. Judge Kennedy sustained the objection Everhart Sllent. Everhart, when called by the gov- ernment to testify concerning the Liberty bonds, which found their way into his possession, declined to testify, asserting to do so would “Incriminate’* him. The petition for appeal assigns error to Judge Kennedy's decision because the witness was not com- pelled to testify. On February 26, 1925, eleven days before the date for trial of the suit, Judge Kennedy denied a petition by counsel for the Government for a postponement of the trial in order that the Government might procure the depositions of H. S. Osler of Toronto and others concerning transactions of the Continental Trading Co. Ltd. The Government contended such evident was essential to prove the Government's charge that the ne- gotlation and consummation of the Teapot lease had been marked by col lusion and fraud. Dental of the pet!- | tlon was error, the petition for appeal | asserts. The petition for appeal assigns error to Judge Kennedy's decision that the question of the validity or invalidity of the executive order of May 31, 1921, “is {mmaterial and may be largely eliminated from consideration™; to the finding that “there was no fraud in procuring the executive order” and to the finding that the “contracts here involved were not negotiated or exe- cuted in pursuance of or in reliance upon said executive order.” —_— DRESS MUSEUM PLANNED. Paris | ‘Would Preserve Typical Specimens of Apparel. PARIS, August 1 (P).—The estab- lishment of a permanent dress museum in Parls is being planned by @ number of city councillors and other prominent personages with archeologi- cal tastes. In it would be preserved from year to year for future refer-| ence typlcal specimens of male and female apparel. Several buildings are available to house the collections, but considera- tlons of space will prevent the use of wax models to display all costumes.

BRIAND IRKS FRENCH BY WEEK END HOLIDAYS Accused of Having Acquired Habit Through Association With Foreign Statesmen. By the Associated Press. PARIS, August 1.—Former Premier Briand is being accused of having ac- quired the “week-end” habit through his association with other statesmen since he returned to power in 1920. His first experience at golf with Mr. | Lloyd George, then British premier, at | Cannes, in January, 1921. has been sald to have been responsible for the | downfall of his cabinet at that time, | and succeeding ministers have been warned ainst the seductions of British sport and British custom But the oft-time minlster and “repeti- tion premier” appears not to be alarmed. He has adopted the British habit of spending Sunday in the coun- try, and one of the first habitual vis- itors to the Qual d’'Orsay to discover that M. Briand stretches the point in favor of Saturday was none other than the British Ambassador. M. Briand, who was at his country estate, Cocherel, for which prefers the simpler name of “farm,” regret- ted he was not present to receive Lord Crewe, but added: “I wonder what grave circumstance kept the Ambas- sador in town Saturday PLAN GREAT CARNIVAL | IN COLUMBIA HEIGHTS Business Men Seek to Have Streets Set Aside for Merrymaking in October.

B | ON RUBBER POLICY Export Cheok Believed to Be Due to Expectation of Boom Subsiding. By the Associated Prees. LONDON, August 1.—The colonial office announcement yesterday that permission would be granted for the exportation f Ceylon, the Feder- ated Malay States and the Straits Bettlements of 75 per cent of their rubber production is held to prove that the British government has not modified its view regarding auto- matic operation of the Stevenson rubber scheme. This view {s that market with sufficlent supplies of rubber without recourse to any ex- ceptional rellef such as has been sug- interests in the The government’s view seems to be that the present rubber boom is quite temporary and will gradually subside; hence the government for the present will content itself with watching the situation carefully. In the rubber market here the prevalling opinion is that American consumers themselves are much to blame for having, for their own reasons, failed to take ad- vantage of the cheap prices prevail- ing in 1923-¢. Nevertheless there is a disposition here to favor some additional relief should the present high prices con- tinue indefinitely. In such case it is suggested that if the price of spot rubber continues as high as 4 shill- ings and 6 pence per pound, extra 1 per cent release of rubber should be allowed at the November q:‘mer for each penny excess in price.
