. CHIEF WITNESSES UNABLE TOAPPEAR Toapot Dome Loguiry Today Mot Washington, Jan. 31 P—Two of | its headline witnesses, Beman G. Dawes, brother of the vice-president, and Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of the Standard Oil com- pany of Indiana, were unable to ap- pear today at the new Teapot Dome hearings before a senate committee, and the committee was obliged to proceed with testimony of lesse: known men. Mr. Dawes was reported to the sommittee as being ill, while Mr. Stewart, it was said, had found it | necessary to ge first to his Chicago office on his arrival from Havana, where he was subpoenaed. | The committee is investigating the | profits of the Continental Trading eompany, Ltd., of Canada, which fig- | ured in the Teapot Dome lease of Harry F. Sinclair, and what went with them. J. D. Clark, of Denver, president of the Midwest Refining| company, the first witness, testified | that Henry M. Blackmer, former | chairman of the board of the Mid-| west company, who went to Europ after the oil scandal broke in 19 still is a director of that company. “When did you last see him sasked Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, prosecutor for the lands committee. “I saw him last June in Paris” | Clark replied, explaining that he | had gone abroad, not at Blackmer's fnvitation, but on general business. Replying to further inquiri Clark said the Midwest company was owned by the Standard Oil com- pany of Indiana, through a stock purchase. “Have you ever heard of this man Osler?” Walsh inquired, referring to . 8. Osler of Toronto, formerly: president of the extinct Continental company, Ltd. | Clark disclosed that Osler was a ' voting trustee of the Midwest com- | pany up to 1922 when the voting Arust expired. At Walsh's request Clark pro- duced correspondence passing be. tween Blackmer and Stewart in Oc. tober, 1921, showing that Blackmer was sceking to interest Stewart in the purchase of oil from the Mexia, Texas, fleld of the late A. E. Hum- phrey of Denver. The Continental agreed to purchase this oil later, | and Stewart, James E. O , now abroad, Blackmer, and Sinclair guaranteed the contract. From this deal, it is contended, the Continen- tal made big profits, some of which finally found their way to Albert B.| Yall, former secretary of the inter-3 for. Clark sald he could not give the significance of the correspondence because he did not like to deal in “assumptions.” The Montana sena- tor then read telegrams passing be- | tween Stewart and Blackmer in| December, 1921, with reference to | the purchase of the stocks of Hum- | phrey’s Mexia Ofl Co.
