My nature would have revolted against it."

Poll, of New Haven, said today that there i{s at present no | announcement to make about the proposed sale to a syndicate headed by Max Bhoolman of Boston, of the Poli chain of theaters valued at 30 million dollars, the deal for which falled to go through Wednesday. Mr. Thayer admitted that Mr. Shoolman visited his office in Wor- cester yesterday for a conference in the matter, ‘The option which was held by Mr. Shoolman, representing a syndicate, expired at ¢ o'clock Wednesday aft- ernoon with negotiations uncom- pleted. This option was purchased in October for $400,000. Both Mr. Thayer and Joseph B.

NOTES | The ninth grade pupils of the| Central Junior High school met in| the auditorium this afternoon. The puplls were entertained by Albert Loomis with a talk on the trip to Denmark which he took last sum- mer. The ninth grade will hold fts| weekly Clvic League meetings in the T0 NAKE REPLI (Continued from First Page) growing out of the lease of Teapot Dome to Sinclair. The government charges that $230,000 of the Con- tinental profits went to Fall. Still Remains Silent Before Stewart was excused from the stand, Chairman Nye told him he must understand that the com- mittes must reach the conclusion that it was poesible that he and his associates knew the purposes of the Continental before it was organized. The company, whose good faith was guaranteed by Stewart and Sinclalr, $1.50 a barrel and sold it back to :‘7’5‘“ and Binclair companies for “Have you any statement to make about that?" Nye asked. Stewart was silent, One of the final questions asked the witness dealt with the angle of the case Involving whether any of the profits went to a political fund. “Do you know anything about any of these bonds going to a political party?” Stewart was asked. ‘No, sir,” he replied. Stewart Stands Pat The oil magnate stood fast by his decision to refuse to answer ques- tions as to whether he had discussed with Harry F. Binclair, lessee of Teapot Dome, the profits of the ex- tinct Continental Trading company, which made millions by buying oil for 50 cents a barrel in the United States and selling it back to the Stewart and Binclair companies for 75 cents, Contradict Stewart The witnesses called to eontradict Stewart were former 8enator Thom- as of Colorado, Beman G. Dawes, president of the Pure Oil company ;of Ohio, and A. E. Humphreys, Jr., son of the man who sold 33,333,333 1-3 barrels of oil to the Continental company for $1.50 & barrel and which the Sinclalr and Standard companies bought back for $1.75. They said they did not hear men- tioned at a conference in New York a price of $1.75 for the oil. Stew- art sald yesterday H. M. Blackmer, then chairman of the board of the Midwest Refining company, had told him this price would have to be paid by the Standard Oil interests if they wanted the oil, Replying to Senator Walsh, demo- crat, Montang, the committee pro- secutor, Stewart said the contract of sale by the Continental to the Sin- clalr Crude and the Prairie Oil was executed at the same time. “Were all of these gentlemen pres- ent?” Walsh asked, referring to the various ofl men mentioned as parti- cipants in the conference. “Oh, I don't think so. It was about the same time, as my recol- lection is, I went back to Chicago from the New York mecting and presented the contract to my board of directors.” Recalled to the witness stand f: ing citation for contempt, the Stand- ard oil man stubbornly resisted the attempts of Benator Walsh, demo- crat, Montana, the committee pro- secutor, to testifty on a question which he said should be placed first before a judge and jury. He is a witness in the Fall-8inclair conspir acy trial growing out of the Teapot Dome lease, Before ke appeared, Beman G. Dawes, brother of the vice-president former Senator Thomas of Colorado and A. E. Humphreys, Jr., of Den- ver, were placed on the stand to dispute his testimony that a price of $1.75 for the Continental Oil had been mentioned in their presence at the conference in New York, where ithe famous deal was consummated. Declines To Answer After preliminary sparring be- tween Walsh and the witness when Stewart was recalled, the prosecutor finally asked: “Did you know anything about the purchase of Liberty Bonds by the Continental ?" “Repeating what T have sald be- fore,” the witness replied, “I don’t think I should answer.” “Were you ever consulted about the purchase of these bonds?" “I reiterate what I sald before.” “Were you ever consulted about the disposition of the bonds?" Stew- 4rt hesitated. “Why did you hesitate?” Walsh asked. “That 18 none of your business, ness of the committee. with all deference.” Then the Btandard officlal again declined to answer. Walsh propounded a series of questions as to what Stewart knew about the disposition of the bonds and he declined to answer again on the grounds given yesterday—that the case was in the courts. Senator Bratton, democrat, of New Mexico, then took Btewart over I say that day. “I am not here to argue these matters with you, Bcnator Bratton,” Stewart said at one point. Irrelevant At another point he said questions put to him were “Irrelevant.” Asked about the naval ofl reserve which was leased to Harry F. Sinclair and later re- covered by the government, Stewart sald he never “even knew there was home rooms on Monday afternoon. | | TRAIN CALLER DEAD | New Haven, Conn., Feb. 3 M— | Lester Phillips, 70, & train caller for the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, was taken {1l on a | street car ‘on his way to work to- day and dled on his way to Grace hospital. Death was pronounced duc | to heart trouble. { i a Teapot Dome until after it was leased.” Bratton went back to the $8,000,- | 000 the Continental might have (made on the contracts for the oil | bought from the Humphreys inter- ests and resold to the Sinclair and | Standard subsidiaries. “I was interested in the $16,000,- 000 profit my stockholders stood to make,” Stewart said. “We were paying 25 cents a bar- rel more than the Continental, but I was not interested; 1 was inter- ested in getting the oll.” The Standard Oil officlal leaned &ui;l for S&ttfll?y Ihlck with & chuckle and sald: Legs of Genuine SPRING 35¢ 1 | | Jones’ Quality Market || 33 Myrtle St. Tel. 285 || Delivery | “I've mever lost my respect for eight million dollars. That's a large sum. But this cight million dollars didn't cut any figure with me. T was Jooking at the great big propo- sition.” “The problem was to get crude badly and we had a chance to get it for 25 cents less than in the open market. What did T care about somebody getting a commission?” ‘Our stockholders have profited tremendously by the making of bought 33,000,000 barrels of oil for | senator, nor is it any of the busi-| some of the ground covered yester- | Teapot Dome | |these contracts,” Stewart went on. |“We bought it at a time when weo {could not get crude.” | At another part Stewart teld Brat- |ton again that the “Senator was just | trying to argue” with him. That the New Mexican denied. Will Not Argue | Stewart refused to argupe with Senator Kendrick, democrat, Wy- oming, over the question whether the Continental deal, as he described it, was against Stewart's reputation as “a good trader.” He i reiterated his statement that what {interested him was that his stock- holders “were getting this crude and getting it cheap.” BSenator Cutting, republican, New Mexico, took up the questiening. | “You have told us repeatedly that you were making 2 good deal, can't you tell us some other things that passed through your mind?” Cutting asked. “I can't say that I can,” Stewast i replied. “Have you ever heard of & prepo- |sition of this kind before. That of guaranteeing such a contract?” ask- ed Cutting, referring to the action of Stewart and Binclair in guaran- teeing the Continental's contract en which it bought the oil sold back at 25 cents a barrel profit. “It you ask me about & specific case, I might be able to tell you,” | Stewart replied. Cutting got into & realm of as- sumption and once he sald that it was & “possible assumption” that Stewart was committing perjury. “] say that's an insult!” Stewart | shouted as he banged the table and leaned toward the senator. “I shall leave this room instantly if that is to go on. The senator of the United States has not authorised you to in- sult me.” “I think that statement should be withdrawn,” Walsh interjected. “Then I'll withdraw that from the record,” Cutting said. *I did not mean to insult you." BUSINESS SECTION (Continued from First Page) | ment was undamaged. The plates were made here and the paper today was printed at the plant of the | Taunton Gazette. Fircmen Make Stand. At the other end of the burned district the fire was stopped at the walls of the Merchants building. Chiet Daley of the Brockton fire de- partment and four men from the Taunton department made a stand in this buildirg and directing streams from ita windows halted the progress of the flames. The city hall, post office and cus- toms building were saved. Flying | embers started many fires in distant mill, two miles from the business | district, Little other damage wasa | done by these fires. State polico and a detachment of clast artillery helped patrol the city and no dirorder was reported. Boy | Scouts and 8alvation Army workers I provided food and coffee for the firemen. Firemen from surrounding cities and towns were assured by Chief Jeremiah Sullivan of the Fall River department today that their services probably would not be needed after today. Most if not all of them, the chiet said, would be able to go to their homes by night. Fire apparatus which was sent {from Boston late last night returned {to that city tod Providence also scnt aid and today relleved the men who worked during the night by sending fresh detachments. Local officials predicted the streets would be cleared before tomorrow night and that trolley service, sus- {pended by broken wires, would be |resumed by Bunday. The streets in | the fire swept district probably will | not be cleared of the piles of debris for several days, however, Chief Sullivan today declared that hen his men arrived at the blazing plant of the Pocasset Manufacturing company where the fire started, they found the buildings without sprink- lers. The buildings were In process of dismantling and the chief said he understood that among the first things done in connection with the work “was to remove the sprinkler system.” “I am not sure this was done first,” he said, “but I do know that when we responded last night the buildings were without sprinklers. In the light of the enormous and unnecessary loss caused by this ter- rible fire in our city it seems to me almost a criminal matter that these | buildings should not have been pro- tected as long as possible by the eprinkler system.” Second add Lead 4 Col BUUSINESS | Ina telegram received here today X‘man offered to extend any aid pos- i sible to the city, including a special 1loan without waiting for authoriza- tion by the legislature, Firemen this forenoon were still | playing streams on a few sections of | the ice-coated ruins but most of | them had been withdrawn. The work of cleaning up the streets was welt | under way before noon. Leading Hotel Burned. The Mohican House, the city's leading hotel, quickly emptied fts 400 rooms, and an hour later was in flames. The Granite Block, the | largest office bullding in the city was | an carly victim as was the Rialto | theater, where an audlence was viewing a picture when the first “larm came.

A» at the Mahican all guests escaped but not all were able to mve their belongings, The last big bullding to go was the eight story Massasoit-Pocasset National bank opposite the city ball. Firemen seeing that their efforts to aave it were unavailing, concentrat- ed thelr endeavors on the city hall | which escaped with only a acorch- ing. Other banks to lese their quar- ters were the Metacomet National Citizens Savings and the Fall River, | Troy and Peoples. Cash Is Removed, Hastily summoned employes suc- ceeded in removing cash, securities and records from all three institu- tions and similar precautions were taken by several other banks when it apphared they might be in danger. The Pocasset mills where the fire started were in the process of be- ing dismantied. The preperty was formerly used for testile manufac- turing purposes but has been idle sbout two years and is owned by Louls K. Liggett of Boston, head of | the United Drug company. Mr. Liggett, who fis at Palm Beach, Fla., was notified by tele- | phone, The blaze was first discovered in i the large six story mill number 1. The bullding proved a veritable tinder box and within hal? an hour all four units of the plant were on fire and shortly therafter the flames leaped across to the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad bus terminal. There, an unverified report i sald, a tank containing 6,000 gallons of line exploded. The fire soen raced fts way through the Mohican hotel and the seemed to threaten the entire city. Many familles prepared them- selves against the posaiblility of having to abandon thelr homes, 'stacking their goods in the streets, but firemen successfully confined the major blase to the business area. The guard room at police head- quarters, was turned into an emer- gency hospital where many persons including firemen who had been slightly injured were given first aid treatment. Jce Forms Soon Tce formed quickly on the ruins as tons of cold water quenched the glowing debris. Fire apparatus, hose lines and even ome fireman froze to the pavemests. The fire- man had to be chopped free by his comrades. Numerous narrow escapes from serious injury marked the progress of the blaze.

Four streets were completely blocked by the ruins and several others were barely passable. Most of those thrown out of work wcre office employes and store at- taches. Telephone operators of the New England Telephone and Tele- graph company reported for work as usual, for the duilding in which ' they worked was saved from the fire although a church nest to ft was burned to the ground.
