Campaign chest records of both the | Republican and Democratic parties, with particular reference to the 1920 presi- | dential contest, likely will be examined by the Senate Teapot Dome committee in its quest for traces of profits of the | now extinct Continental Trading Co. of Canada. Will H. Hays, former chairman of the Republican national committee, already has been asked to tell the committee about the $75,000 donation by Harry F. Sinclair, Teapot Dome lessee and a sharer of the Continental's profits, to the party deficit in 1923, and now |Chairman Nye, Republican, North Da- kota, expects to summon Democratic | party officials to see if they have a | similar story to relate.. | Chairman Nye said last night that members of the committee belleved that | if “this oil money” went to one party, it was “quite apt to have gone to the | other. too.” He has not decided yet just { whom to call before the committee, but | he recalled that Sinclair had testified | in 1923 that he had contributed to cam- | paign funds ot both parties. | The Senator said also that the Demo- | cratic party was known to have had a deficit of nearly $600,000 at the close of | the 1920 campaign, but that by 1924 that figure was reduced (? $200,000. | There is no public record of how thnlf was done, Nye said. and he believes the committee should find out whether the party received a portion of the now hid- den Liberty bonds which formed the 183,080,000 profits of the Continental | company. | That company made its profits under | contract guaranteed by Sinclair ‘“dl jother ofl men by which it bought ofl |and then sold it to other gompanies at | |25 cents a barrel profit.

By the Associated Press LOS ANGELES, February 14.—Adolfo de la Huerta today stood cleared of charges of conspiring to violate the United States ncutrality laws in an at- tempt to regain the power he held as provisional President of Mexico. 3 A jury in Federal Court yesterday acquitted De 1a Huerta and four others, Louis Gayou, Huerta's secretary; Alfon- 50 G. Moretin, Francisco Ferriz and Enrique Berceda, Charges against Frank N. Thayer, & munitions expert, had been dropped. J. Ross Boles, & seventh accused, was granted a separ- ate trial on ate yet to be set, The prosecution based the charge mainly upon the fact that De la Huer- ta had sent to a representative in Tuc- son, Ariz, 20 rifles and about 2,300 rounds of ammunition. Defense Attor- ney Frank P. Dougherty ridiculed the Government contention that the ma- terial was to be turned over to warring Yaqul Tribes to aid in the overthrow of President Calles. The defense insisted that the guns were to be used only to police the city of Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, in case the Yaqui Tribes invaded the town. Departmnt of Justice officials admit- ted that De la Huerta had asked them if it were unlawful to ship arms from one State to another in the United States and had been assured it was not. Government officials also admitted that De la Huerta had kept them fully in- formed of his connections with Mexican affairs. o SIx new varieties of red raspberry have been developed by New York State’s agricultural experiment station.
