MRS, HAMON 15 NOT QUESTIONED AT ALL In Fact Teapot Prosecutor Did Not Even Summon Her Washington, April 29.—Approach- ing the end of its inqui oil committee today listened to testi- mony regarding conditions in the oil reserves, When the session opened the com- mittee prosecutor called the name of the widow of Jake L. Hamon of Ok- lahoma, who is to be questioned about stories of an oil deal in the 1920 cam- paign, but she was not present. Willard W, Cutler, Jr., a petroleum geologist, and former employe of the bureau of mines, was examined with reference to the drainage of oil from scctions 1 and 2 on naval reserve num- ber 1 in California. He testified that by tigg failure to drill offset wells the goveridnent lost on the sections be- tore March 4, 1921, royalty oil worth $3,200,000. v, the scnate Who Called Her Mrs. Hamon entered the committee room while Cutler was testifying and when he concluded she was called to the witness stand. A row immediately developed among committee members as to who was responsible for her summons to Washington. Senator Spencer, republican, Mis- souri, protested against her examina- tion, saying that no information which she might have would have a bearing upom the subject before the eommittee. The committee prosecutor, Senator Walsh, of Montana, replied that she Bad not been called at his request and he had no desire to examine her, He said Senator Stanfield, republican, Oregon, was responsible for her sub- poena but Senator Stanfield reported that Senator Walsh was mot stating the facts. He had merely suggested, he said, how the facts with regard to certain phases of the transactions of Hamon could be learned. As no member of the committee de- sired to ask any question, Mrs. Hamon was exoused, * DAUGHERTY GOMMITTEE CONTINUES ITS WORK Delves Into Matter of Pardon For Prisoner, Also Antl-Trust Canes, Washington, April 29, — Further testimony bearing on the prohibition enforcement policies of the depart. ment of justice wunder Harry M.

Atlee J erts, special government counsel first Pomerene and Owen KHob- submitted to the jury the various documents relating to the leases of the naval oil reserves in Calfornia and | Wyoming. Thesc included the exceu- tive order transferring control of the reserves from the navy to the interior department; the leases enterd into be- ! tween Albert all and Edwin Denby representing the government and E. L. Doheny's Pan-American Pctroleum | company and Harry K. Sinclair's Mammoth Oil company, Other documents a which were present ate oil committee, e letters and memoranda exchanged between Fall and officials of the interior and navy departments, The first procedure was the identi- fication of these papers by officials of | departments, | It was at Mr. Daniels’ request that congress enacted the Jaw on June 4,/ 1 which the government con- tends placed the oil reserves within the sole jurisdiction of the navy sec- |retary and which, it is argued, made linvalid the executive order under | ! which that control passed to the in- terior department in May, 1921, The 1920 act has been a subject of much controversy since the oil scan- dal developed, friends of Former Sec- retary Fall contending that under its provisions the execcutive department could lease all of the naval oil lands. This view has been disputed particu- larly by Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, prosecutor of the oil com- mittee, who has contended that the clear intent of congress was simply the drilling of offset wells to preserve !the fuel supply in the ground as far as possible, E. C. Finney, assistant seeretary of |the interior, and Dr. H, Foster Bain, | @irector of the bureau of mines, who have appeared several times before |the ofl committes, reached the court house a few minutes after Mr, Daniels arrived and waited in an hnte-room.
