Tel. Franklin 2620 APPROVES 5YEAR LIBRARY PROGRAM Board of Trade Committee 0. K.s Proposal for In- creasing Facilities Here. Approval of the proposed five-year library building program for the Dis- trict of Columbia by which it is hoped to provide adequate library facilities for the growing population of Wash- ington was voted by the committee {on libraries of the Board of Trade at its first Fall meeting last night in the office of Dr. George F. Bowerman, public librarlan. The action of the committee will be reported to the Board of Trade for consideration in the near future. Stephen IX. Kramer, assistant super- intendent of the public schools, chair- man of the committee, presided over the meeting and Dr. Bowerman ex- plained in detail the library building program, which was presented to Con- gress at the past session. Cost Estimated at $2,000,000. The building program, Dr. Bower- man estimated, would cost approxi- mately $2,000,000 and would provide for the building of 13 new distributing library centers as well as for eight rented centers and for about 20 auxili- ary libraries to be established in pub- lic_schools. In commenting on the need of this extension, Dr. Bowerman pointed to the fact that Washington now has but three distributing branch libraries While the per capita cost of the op- eration of the Washington libraries is but cents per year, he said, the corresponding cost in Cleveland, In- dianapolis and other comparable cities is a dollar or more, Land Condemnation Considered. A new method for handling land condemnation cases in the District of Columbia, radically different from the plan now being studied by the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- misslon, was proposed last night at a meeting of the committee of the Board of Trade on law and legislation held in the offices of the board in The Star Building, ‘The néw plan proposes the appoint- ment of an additional judge to the District Supreme Court, who -would preside over a jury of five, which would hear all cares in real estate condemnation proceedings. The plan was drafted by Fred G. Coldren, ex. pert of the N: I Capital Park and Planning Commi: m, and is designed s an alternative to the former pro- posal calling for the appointment of one judge to sit in all condemnation cases without the aid of a jury, a plan which has met with objections by some local groups. It was the sense of the meeting last night that from a list of 100 free- holders of the District the jury com- mission should select a panel of 25 to serve for one year and from which the jury of five would be drawn to sit in condemnation cases. Among those attending the meeting, in addition to Mr. Coldren, were Alex- ander Wolf, chairman of the com- mittee; Daniel Thew Wright, Chester Wells, William Bruce King and John A. Consaul Health Committee Meets. The health committee of the Board of Trade at its meeting yesterday urged more rigid inspection of public eating places in Washington and a subcommittee was appointed to draft suggested legislation to this end. The subcommittee consists of Dr. John M. McLachlen, chairman; Dr. Harvey W. Wiley and Dr. Henry W. Jaeger. The health committee postponed action on the proposal that legislation be sought to compel chiropractors to comply with educational requirements similar to those placed on the regular prac- titioners. This week marks the beginning of the Fall activities of the Board of Trade in earnest. In addition to the three committee meetings yesterday, one is scheduled for today and three for tomorrow, and the full meeting of the board is to be held Thursday eve- ning at the Willard Hotel, when Sen- ator Smoct of Utah will speak. The membership committee meets this afternoon and tomorrow sessions will be held by the committees on streets and avenues, water supply and public bulldings and grounds. Membership Exceeds 3,000, With the addition of 32 new mem- bers yesterday the roster of the Board of Trade went over the 3,000 mark for the first time. The new members are Robert W.

GOVERNMENT NIPS "PLOT TO ENTHRONE CAROL IN RUMANIA (Continued from First Page.) this view. Manoilescu has been Incar- cerated in the Jilava military prison. Carol on Delicate Ground. Carol, it is pointed out, is in a par- ticularly delicate situation here, as he knows perfectly well that the French government would not tolerate any conspiracy conducted on French soil against the established government of a friendly state. He, therefore, is thought to have wished to maké clear that he would not return to Rumania axcept under perfectly regular condi- tions when he said: “There are so many ways to call a sovereign when his return is agreed upon—by a vote of Parliament, by a plebiscite and by L LV STAR, WASHINGTON, FALL AGAIN STIRS OIL TRIAL BY VERBAL (Continued_from First_Page.) to the Ploneer and Belgo companies $200,000 in 18 months from the date of the agreement; a promissory note for that amount was given bearing interest of 6 per cent from the date of the agreement and the Mammoth Co. agreed to pay the value of one- third of the gross production of oil from the Teapot Dome lease to the two companies until the sum of §800,- 000 has been reached. Evidence Decision Deferred. Justice Siddons’ decision on the ad- missibility as evidence in the present trial of statements made by Sinclair before the Senate's oil investigating committee remained unannounced when court reconvened at 10 o'clock pending an agreement between coun- sel as to whether the oil operator had been subpoenaed before that body. The attorneys agree that he was under oath when this testimony was given and have about come to the mutual conclusion that Sinclair was “requested” or “invited” to appear. Chief interest centered this morning on the expected court ruling, but Jus- tice Siddons gave no indication when he would announce it. Statements concerning the possibil- ity of drainage in Teapot Dome, re- garded as important to the defense case, were drawn by George D. Hoover from Arthur W. Ambrose, the one- time petroleum technologist in the Interior Department, who is a Gov- ernment wiines During his cross. examination of the witness, which was resumed the first thing this morning, . Hoover brouczht out the informa- tion that development of leases made in the adjoining Salt Creek field would cause serious drainage later in Teapot Dome. The witness was questioned closely regarding conferences he had with Fall in October, 1921, and January of 1922, wh 2 the question of drainage was discussed. After going into nu- merous technical questions bearing on oil development, Hoover asked the witness if he had discussed with Fall the advisability or the inadvisability of strip leasing. an understanding between the par- ties.” The fact that Carol recently com- pleted the purchase of a country house at Belleme, in Normandy, is considered to strengthen the view that ke was not yei ready to ydffurn. Strip Leasing Discussed. Ambrose stated that the question of strip leasing first came up at the time of the Heald report on November 30 of that year, and was considered in a general sort of way at another con- ference with Fall the latter part of January, 1922. He was asked if he recalled J. Foster Bain, director of the Bureau of Mines, saying any- thing about the subject of drainage at_that time. Witness replied that Bain had men- tioned that strip leasing would not be adequate to protect the naval re- serve-from drainage. mbrose testified that he had re- ceived reports from time to time on drainage from a Mr. Tut, a technolo- gist in charge of field work, who had been investigating conditions on Salt Creek field. “Did you know, on June 15, 1921, the Government had auctioned off 6,400 acres on Salt Creek,” he was asked. “Yes,’ he replied “Did you know that these leases required de- velopment of 0il?”" he was asked again. Roberts objected to this line of ques- tioning and was sustained by the court. Restricted to questions relating to what the witness had told Fall, the defense attorney asked him whether he had discussed the subject of drilling on these 6,400 acres. “I pointed out to Mr. Fall that when developments took place there would be serious drainage,” Ambrose replied. Going further into the subject of] drainage Ambrose stated that “‘we be- lieved then and advised Mr. Fall that those leases were causing no imme- diate drainage (in Teapot Dome). But as time went on in all probability drainage would extend a considerable distance into the reserve.” At that time, however, the witness added, the subject of drainage was not the subject of immediate question. “Did not you tell Fall as soon as production started on those leases drainage would begin?” asked Hoover. “Yes, I told that to Fall,” the wi ness said. He added that in his opin- ion the shift of the saddle made drain- age in Teapot Dome *“more serious’” and so advised the Secretary. With regard to the drilling of the double row of wells to offset drainage, the witness stated that it would have been only a ‘‘temporary” protection. Taking up the lease between the Government and the Mammoth Oil Co., Hoover questioned Ambrose on that section relating to the exchange of royalty crude oil for fuel oil. He framed an interpretation of the tech nical wording of that section to show that for every 100 barrels of royalty crude oil due the Government under the lease .95 barrels of fuel oil could be nbtained for the Navy. This ex- change was based onthe prices in the mid continent field, Ambrose declared, and had the arrangement been made on the basis of Wyoming prices the Navy would have gotten much less fuel ofl for its royalty crude oil. Under further questioning by Hoover, Ambrose testified that Fall insisted upon an increase in the Navy's fuel ofl so that it got -100 barrels of fuel oil for 100 barrels of crude oil. Ambrose said Fall gave him instructions while preparing the lease to use the mid-continent prices as a basis. Furthermore, at Fall's request, both the Wyoming and con- tinent scales were inserted in order that the Government could take ad- vantage of either, as it saw fit. Consulted Navy Officials. The witness said he spent several weeks in making the lease and fol lowed a standard guide as published in a General Land Office bulletin. When the lease was completed he said he read it over to Rear Admiral John K. Roblson, then chief of the Bureau of Engineering, and Rear Admiral Luther Gregory, in charge of the Navy’s con- struction work, Ambrose declared he also discussed the lease with Dr. H. Foster Bain, then director of the Bureau of Mines. “It was a regular business trans- action in which - parties concerned dealt at arm’s length with each otker, was it not?” asked Hoover. “As far as 1 could see,” Ambrose. “On this question of secrecy, did Fall instruct you to keep this secret?” Hoover asked. “I do not recall any instructions to keep it secret,” said the witness. Asked if he was in frequent con- sultation with "officers of the Navy, Ambrose said from time to time he re- ceived instructions concerning the de- livery of oil under the lease and con- tract to certain points on the Atlantic and Gulf Coast. “These instructions usually were sent around.in an envelope marked confidential and delivered by a com- missioned officer,” added the witness. Referring to the 20 test wells in the lease, Hoover asked the witness to elaborate on this feature und he re- plied that Secretary Fall had sug- gested they be included so as to test out the possibilities of the oil pro- duction in Teapot Dome. Asked to ex- plain why they were located at par- ticular points, Ambrose replied he thought these locations would deter- mine the possibilities of the reserve and would better outline its future de- velopment. He also thought it would be the best way to operate the field after the lease became effective. Court Urges More Speed. Fall's interest in coaching the cross- examination of the witness on his own behalf was evident when Hoover had concluded with Ambrose. After whis- pering something to his two attor- neys, Mart B. Thompson and William E. Leahy, a recess was asked for five minutes, When this time elapsed, the court waited several minutes for Leahy to appear. His co-counsel then explained 19 the court that am & result of a con. repiied TILT WITH COUNSEL ference with the defendant the attor- ney was preparing his cross-examina- tion of the witness and would return in a fow minutes. Leahy's difficulties were apparent when he began his own cross-examina- tion of Ambrose. Almost immediately he encountered an endless chain of objections. Practically all of these the court sustained. Finally Justice Siddons had to inter- rupt the defense lawyer iwo or three times to insist that he avoid ‘“mere repetitions” of questions asked by Mr. Hoover, and the court insisted rather emphatically that time was being lost by this line of examination. Leahy asked the witness first if hc recalled speaking to Fall about the compulsory_drilling feature on_the 6,400 acres leased on Salt Creek. This the witness recalled. “Did any representative of the Gov- ernment enforce the drilling require- ments?” was the next question Roberts immediately objected for the Government. Mr. Leahy insisted that all he was attempting to show was that the Bureau of Mines had supervision over these leases. The court suggested that Dr. George Otis Smith hac answered that question fully and hac explained the functions of the Burea) of Mines. Justice Siddons cautionec the attorney to ask only about what Ambrose had told Fall in the con ference and what the defendant had told the witness. Leahy persisted. however, and ought to get information by chang- ing his questions. He asked the witness it he knew that the Bureau of Mines was the only department from which the information could have heen obtained and Roberts again objected. Then the defense attorney shifted his questions to the Western trip which the witness had made. He asked Ambrose if he knew where Fall was at that time. Roberts object- ed to this line of questioning and was sustained. Continued questioning about a Mr. Tut, mentioned previously by the witness, brought a reminder by the court that the attorney was merely repeating _the questions asked by Hoover. The court asked him not to spend so much time on this repetition. Court Objerts to Questions, Leahy insisted that it had been de- veloped that Tut had seen Ambrose in the fleld and submitted reports to him on_ conditions in Salt Creek. Justice Siddons was compelled again to remind the attorney that the court did not want to wasis tine in the same repe- tition, but told hi that if there was anything that Hoover had not d ed in the 2ourse of his cross nation he coull bring hat out. Leay persisted in asking several other uesticts of a similer nature, which caused tha court to remind him * ‘overlnokinig ion nz. Leahy thea telé the court he had no more questions to ask and Hoover explained that he had one further question v ask th2 witness. “Is this Mr. Tut living now or dead?” asked Mr. Hoover Justice Siidons svggested that the question was immaterial and that Mr. Hoover could get an answer some- where ~'3» Under redirect examination by Rob- erts a witness was asked if Fall had asked him “as an official of the Bu- reau of Mines” for his opinion as to how much of Teapot Dome should be leased. Ambrose replied in the nega- tive. “Who made the decision so far as the Interior Department was concern- ed and so far as you have personal knowledge?” asked Roberts. Hoover objected and was overruled. Am- brose's reply was: “So far as I know, it was Secretary Fall.” Hoover moved to have the answer stricken from the record, declaring the witness was not qualified on that point. Pomerene read, by, stipulation, the testimony of Zevely before the civil suit tridl in which® he was quoted as saying that he and Sinclair visited Fall at Three Rivers, N. Mex., on De- cember 31, 1921, at which matters con- cerning Osage Indians were discussed On further questioning by Roberts the transcript of the records showed, as Pomerene read it to the jury Zevely said he was not sure wheth: Teapot Dome was discussed in his presence; that he did not know an in- quiry had been made of Fall as to whether he would lease the reserve. To this inquiry Fall replied he was having an investigation made, and on that report ke would determine wheth- er he would lease Teapot Dome, Zeve- 1y's printed testimony said. Sinclair Lease Proposal. Sinclair and Zevely left early in January, 1922, and some time later pre- pared a proposition for a lease, signed by Sinclalr, which the Government read to the jury yesterday afternoon Zevely, when asked where Sinclair got his information of Fall's require- ments for leasing the reserve, replied that he did not know. COUPLE CELEBRATE ETH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lee Cox Were Married in George- town in 1877. Mr. and Mrs, Robert Lee Cox, 2928 P street, are celebrating today the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. Each is 70 years old. The happy couple observed the day very quietly, Mr. Cox going to work os usual and presiding, as he has for 5 years, over the copy cutter's desk in the composing room of The Evening star. During those 35 years at the same desk, Lee, as he is known to his many friends in the newspaper world, has handled copy detailing some of the most important news cvents in modern history, from the blowing up of the Maine to the World War. Virtually all the ncws copy which goes into The Star daily passes through Mr. Cox’s hands. He has thc important job of scheduling and dis tributing to the linotype machines the seemingly endless stream of dispatches and stories from all over the world. The proper reassembly of these stories depends on the accuracy with which Cox has schedul=d them Mr. and Mrs. Cox were married Oc tober 25, 1877, in Georgetown. Mrs Cox before her marriage was M Edith L. shoeniaker. daughter of an old Georgetown family.

Donnelly and Lee Jewett Cox both of whom died some years ago. The daughter's child, Maridn Lee Donnelly, resides with the grand- parents. Mr. Cox, reflecting today on his newspaper career, regards his feat in handling one of McKinley’'s presiden tial messages in the record time o. 7 minutes as the outstanding achieve- ment of his long period of service. 11 those days, he pointed out, the Presi dent did not prepare advance copies ot speeches for the press, and when his address was delivered the news. papers engaged in a grand rush to report it, set it in type and get the paper on the street ahead of their sivals, 5 - .

Emiliano Chamorro, for mer President of Nicaragua, is stay- ing at the Mayflower Hotel. Gen.

Dr. Sacasa has re- tired from politics, the general as- serted, and is now a practicing phy- siclan in Guatemala and has asserted recently that he will not oppose Gen. Moncada for the presidency.
