OAYS TEAPOT OIL N0 GOOD T0 NAVY Director Bain Describes Quality of Its Output Washington, May 8.—In a commit- tee-room destitute of spectators, the practical deétails of ofl production on Teapot Dome and Eik Hill were de- scribed today for the senate oil com- mittee by H. Foster Bain, director of the bureau of mines. In recent weeks the crowds that once packed the hearing room have dwindled steadily, and today for the first time the committee began its public session with 1o one present ex cept members, witnesses and news- papermen, It was the first mecting in a week. In order to show that’ there was oil in Teapot Dome below the second wall creek sand Senator Walsh, the sommittee prosecutor, asked Dire 3 Bain about the drilling of a well to the third wall ereck sand. The wit- ness said this well was producing about 80 barrels a day. Seven or cight oil wells have been drilled under the Doheny lease on the Elk H'l reserve, the director said, and have produccd about 1,500,000 barrels. oMst of “them, he told the committee, were offset wells. The actual average royalty paid by heny was 28 per c the witness testified, per cent. He said- there had no new drilling under the Doheny lease since the senate investigation began. Director Bain declared the oil in Teapot Dome is not suitable for naval fuel use, and could not be ¢conomi- cally prepared for such usc, tural and right course, under the cir- cumstances, he said, wis to exchange the Teapot Dome oil for other | oil which was suitable for the navy. The witness made a detailed ex- planation of the effect of drainage upon naval oil properties, o £0 Wells Drilled Something like §0 wells have been drilled on Teapot Dome under the Sinclair lease, Bain told the commit- tee. Asked whether former Secretary Tall had discouraged 12, L. Doheny, in his effort to get a lease on Teapot Dome, he replied: “Secretary Fall told me Doheny had wanted a lease upon Teapot Dome, and wanted to take it over, but he (Fall) had discouraged him from doing it because Doheny's business Wi the Pacific and the Atlantic coasts and he (Fall) did not think it would be a good thing for Doheny to become interested in the mid-con- tinental field.” “Was that before or after the lease Wi n to Sinclair?” asked Sena- tor Walsh. “I cannot be positive,” Bain an- * swered. “I think it was in the spring of 1922 Senator Walsh pointed out that It was on April 7, 1922, that the lease was made with Sinclair, Bain testified there had been no ma- terial loss of oil on Teapot Dome through drainage before the Sinclair lease was made, “There had been some drainage,” he eaid, “but it was the impression of the interior department that the door was locked by the making of the lease before the horee was stolen.” amd is now 26 To Charge Spoth With Litchfield, Conn,, May 8.—When the eriminal superior court opened today, Judge Allyn L.

A. Grorud, a Helena attorney, testified he had talked with Coan in Montana in April. “Coan came to me and said he| wanted something to smear Senator Walsh," Grorud said. *“He asked me | for affidavits. He said they had | Wheeler where they wanted him and now they would get .something on Walsh, * Itold Coan that I knew some- thing about the Campbell case (on which Senator Wheeler's indictment was based) and that there was noth- ing they could convict Wheeler about in that. Coan saia that was right but that they would have the indictment to hold .over Wheeler anyhow. Slat- tery, the United States district at- torney, had not wished to bring the case before a grand jury even, Coan went on, but the depariment of juse tice had a charge against Slattery, because he had been mixed up in some liquor prosecutions, and that made Slattery go through anyway.” Coan also said, the witness testified, that a Burns' agent named McGraw was assisting him. “Blair Coan told me the depart- ment of justice had 22 men in Mon- tana,” Grorud said.
