McCown appealed to the military for aid in obtaining Galligan but nothing was done. arriving here HERE’S MORE ABOUT ALASKA STARTS ON PAGE 1 serious and baneful by far than the disclosures resulting from the naval ot! investigation.” “Our investigation convinces us that the Alaska railroad is a vietim of deliberate intrigue and conspiracy carried om over @ long period, directed by Influ- ences Trostile to it, which are de- termined to destroy it as a gov- ernment-owned railroad and to exploit Alaska for their own ex- elusive benefit.” “After forcing {ts construction costs to excessive figures, they have prevented tonnage development for it, making it a financial failure,” the letter added. The investigation called for by labor leaders would center on the Alaskan railroad, but would include also steamship lines and other in- dustries. FALL'S NAME 15 AGAIN MENTIONED Several years ago an opria- tion of $1,000,000 was secured from congress for the development of the Matanuska coal field, which, if de- veloped, would constitute an import- ant factor in obtaining increased freight tonnage on the railroad. Former Secretary of the Interior Fall, in May, 1922, obtained the transfer of this mine, which was a naval ‘reserve, from the navy de- partment to the department of the interior by the signing of an order by Secretary Denby. Immediately after the transfer, Fall ordered all operations in the mines stopped. Meantime, a special board of the navy department con- ducted tests of the Matanuska coal to determine if it could be used for navy fuel. At that time the navy was using coal from West Virginia, so the tests were made in comparison with the ‘West Virginia fuel. In its report the board said the Alaskan coal was 15 per cent more efficient than the West Virginia; that the Alaskan coal de- veloped more horsepower, despite a lesser tonnage. Despite this report, the Alaskan coal was held unsuited for navy purposes. YANKEES DECORATED BY JAPANESE PRINCE OKYO, Feb. 11-—-Four Ameri. cans were decorated by Prince Regent Hirohito of Japan in dis- tributing titles, decorations and honors marking the wedding of the prince: The Americans who were hon- ored were: Dalvs Schneder, third order of the Sacred Treasure. Bishop J. McKim, fourth order of the Sacped Treasure. Willlam Wheeler, fifth order of the Rising Sun. Dr, Rudolph Teussler, fifth or- der of the Sacred Treasure. Mra. Hanna Ridel and A.

Pres ervation of “our internal economy depends on this ol! supply, he sald. | Not alone ts this true but the ques: | tion of an adequate oll supply and jof an adequate oll reserve is one jot the most important for any na jtion under conditions of modern warfare. In fact, the crucial test in the next war, if one should come, {s going to be control of an ade quate supply of petroleum. “For all of these reasons, there fore, the American government and people were interested tn preserv ing the Mexican ofl supply, which | was lawfully owned or controlled by | American citizens. “Mr. Doheny’s companies as well as Mr. Doheny, enjoyed an enviable }reputation when he called on me in 1919. “His companigs were the outstand- | Ing independent oll companies fur- nishing the required supply of Mex- fean oil to our industries along the Atlantic seaboard. They were also the only strong companies offering competition with the so-called ‘oi trust’ in the United States. | “When Mr, Doheny, therefore, | asked my firm to act for him pro fessionally in trying to prevent the| confiscation of his valuable petro: Jeum properties in Mexico, represent: | ing several hundred million dollars, | It appeated to mo because of my gen-| eral knowledge of the oll industry | and of Mexican and Latin American} relations, and because it was in line| with the declared policy of the admin- istration to protect American proper- ties against confiseation in Mexico. “I believed the opportunity was} Presented to offer a genuine service | outside my professional work in pro- |moting Latin-American commerce and was particularly to the protec- tion of all American rights in Mex-! feo, if retfoactive and confiscatory | effect to article 27 of the Mexican} constitution, could be prevented.” President Wilson filed a strong protest against article 27 in 191%, he pointed out. The Harding adminis. tration also opposed it. | SPECTATORS CHEER |AS McADOO ENTERS Questioning by Senator Lenroot after McAdoo had finished his pro- | pared statement, brought out that McAdoo severed his connection with Doheny February 2, the day after Doheny testified he had given Albert B. Fall $100,000. A demonstration was staged for McAdoo when he entered the com- mittee chamber. Spectators burst into applause lasting several minutes fg the smiling ex-secretary of the treasury walked Into the room. McAdoo was dressed in a light brown business suit. His slightly grayed hair was parted in the mid- dle and he looked spick and span, There were more than 600 specta- tors packed into the room as McAdoo }took the oath and began reading his | statement in a cold, confident voice. Senator Walsh, Montana, brought | out that McAdoo quit as secretary of ithe treasury December 6, 1918, as di- [rector general of railways, January | 41, 1919, and entered the law business in April, 1919. “When did you first become attor- \ney for Doheny?” | “L think it was November 30, 1919. “pid you haye anything to do with him before that?” “1 had met him but once before that.” McAdoo told of going to Mexico In | Doheny’a Interest and of a confer. |ence with President Obregon. “T told him Mexico had no other resort than American market Me-+ Adoo said. “He fold me they did | not intend to give retroactive effect to Article 27." * QUESTIONS McADOO | morally | thru here last night en route to Lon-| and climaxed with a great home-com- pape A Special Purchase of 500 Pairs of Women’s Comfort Shoes SENATOR DILL M Adoo sald he himself got $50,000 in two an al retainers of § “Dia.
