SUIT TO CANCEL

ROBERTS CLAIMSIISAGREEMENT
IN NAVY DEPARTMENT
CONTRACTS
STUART ON STAND
Documentary Evidence Introduced,
Including Orders of Taft
and Harding
Los Angeles, Oct. 22. (By A. P.)-
Testimony was begun in the United
States district court here today in the
government's suit to cancel the lease
and contract of. naval oil reserve
property to the Pan-American Petrol-
eum and Transport companies, which
E. L. Doheny, controlling share hold-
er, values at $100,000,000, and in the
alleged conspiracy for the granting
of which the government charges
Doheny paid $100,000 to Albert B.
Fall, secretary of the interior at that
time.
Commander H. G. Stuart, U. S. N.,
formerly officer in charge of the na-
val fuel oil reserves, at Washington,
was the first witness called by Owen
J. Roberts, government prosecutor.
Robert said that Commander Stuart
was placed on the witness stand to
prove that a disagreement existed in
the Navy department concerning
these leases, that the navy officer had
not been in accord with the policy
and was subsequently removed from
office.
The taking of testimony was suc-
ceeded by offering documentary evi-
dence, including the withdrawal or-
der of William Howard Taft, by
which the Elk Hills oil lands were
withdrawn from public entry. The
executive order by President Harding
in 1921, directing that administration
of the naval oil reserves be trans-
ferred to the department of the in-
terior from the navy department, and
other documents bearing on the case.
In bringing out tsetimony to prove
there was a disagreement' among na-
val officials in the granting of the
proposed leases, Roberts asked Stuart
to relate his dealings with Fall prior
to the granting of the leases to the
Pan-American interests.I
"After it was decided to make the
lease, Admiral Griffin and I went to
Secretary Fall and told him we had:
heard the United Midway was to be
given the lease on part of number 1."
Stuart's testimony began.
"We objected to this and said it
was not necessary to drill well Fall
said he had already taken it up with
the president and met with his ap-
proval but did not until later. We
left and went to the navy building
qnd were then summoned back and
shown the approval of the president.
Shortly after the leases were di-
vided."
GERMANS PLAN -AILINE
f ROM RUSSIA TO CHINA
Urga, Mongolia, Oct. 22.-Repre-
sentatives of the German Junkers
Company have just completed an air
survey to give a regular airplane
service between Moscow and Peking,
with a possibility of extending it ul-
timately into South China. The line
will follow the Trans-Siberian Rail-
way from Moscow as far as Verkne-
Udinsk, and from there will turn south
to Urga, and then to Peking by way
of Kalgan and the railway connecting
southern Mongolia with the Chinese
capital.
The Moscow government has ap-

proved the route, and it is the desire
of the promoters to get American
capital to bac.c a joint German-Rus-
sian Company.

Prior to 'the opening of the opera
season at the Metropolitan- Opera
house, Jeritza is making a concert
tour which includes stops at Harris-
'burg, Atlanta, and Toronto. She is
able to accept but few concert en-
gagements before the regular opera
year opens.
Toured Europe
In the past, Madame Jeritza has
sung with the Vienna opera company.
She has been urged by various di-
.rectors to abandon opera for drama
I or for motion pictures. In regard to
the movies, she says, "It is quite
possible that I might screen well, but
ever since I was a young girl, I have
been co-ordinating vocal and drama-
f tic movement on the stage. I can-
not imagine what it would be like to
portray opera roles in the 'mute'
drama.. Yet it has possibilities and
opportunities which would appeal to,
any artist, and there is something
overwhelming in the thought that one
plays to an audience of millions, and
may appear simultaneously in every
continent of the world."
Jeritza arrived in this country on
the steamship. Olympic early th'is
month after a tour of Europe, and im-
mediately commenced her concert,
which will terminate just before the
opening of the Metropolitan opera
year for which Jeritza is the leading
I soprano.
