HCl MARINES
EJECTED SETTLERS
FROM OIL RESERVE
WASHINGTON, Mar. 11.—General
LeJune, commandant of the U. S. ma_
line Corps, told the investigating com
mittee today how his men were used
in cleaning Teapot Dome of trespass
ers after the oil lands had been leas
ed to the Sinclair interests. Major
LeJune said his orders for military ac-;
tion were issued by Theodore Roose
velt, then acting Secretary of the:
Navy. Roosevelt testified that the re
quest for military aid for cleaning
the Dome came from Albert B. Fall,
who was quoted as saying: “He and
Harding wanted the squatters eject
ed.”
Sending the Marines to Teapot
Dome was characterized as “an outra-,
geous use of the military forces.” by
Senator Walsh, who charged that arm
ed force was used because Fall and
Sinclair did not want to precipitate a
court action in which the validity of
the oil leases would be raised.
“You learned in school,” he said to
the witness, “that the oil power is al
ways subordinated to the civil power
in the United States,” said Walsh.
“Yes,” replied Roosevelt.

LEPERS WANT GUITARS
TO MAKE LIFE CHEERY
MANILA, March 13—Musical instill
ments are among the things asked for
as presents by many of the lepers in
the colony of 50,000 on Cullion Island.
The monotony of life in the colony and
Lie depressing effect of the surround

ical treatment, the lepers say, and for
this reason they want music to help
infuse an optimistic spirit, into tneir
live.
In the shipment last Christmas of
nearly loo huge boxes filled wi:li pres
' r.is or footed by clubs, schools and so
cieties of Manila, there were included
several banjos and guitars.
