CHENEY fit CO., Toledo, Ohio WAY IS CLEARED FOR ACTION BY ADMINISTRATION Nomination of Pomerene Confirmed by Senate— To Ask Injunctions Universal Service. Washington, Feb. 17.—Sensa tional developments in the oil lease scandal tonight caused the investigation committee to call an executive session for Monday afternoon to determine if the ex igencies of the situation demand an immediate continuation of the hearing. , , So important is the new in formation that subpoenas were telegraphed to New York for Harry Payne Whitney, multimil lionaire of New .York, and asso ciate of Harry F. Sinclair; Elmer E. Smathers, J. Philip Benkard, Harry B. Benkard and also the srder clerk and office manager of J. P. Benkard & Co., of New York, BY GEORGE W. HINMAN, JR. Universal Service Correspondent Washington, Feb. 17. First steps to ward the actual legal prosecution of those criminally Involved in the oil frauds will be taken this week by special counsel representing the United States government. Simultaneously, Injunction proceed ings will be instituted to prevent further operation by private oil in terests pending determination by the courts of the legality of the leases of the naval reserves. Developments have been so mo mentous that Senator Wnlsh of Mon tana, outstanding figure in the Senate investigation, has indefinitely post poned his contemplated trip to North Carolina for a few days of rest. Walsh and Atlee Pomerene held a long conference Sunday while rep resentatives of the committee con ferred with attorneys for Edward B. McLean, Washington newspaper pub lisher and intimate friend of the late President Harding. Sunday night Walsh and Pomerene met again to consider the reports of those who had talked with McLean's counsel. Sena tor Bryon K. AA'heeler, of Montana, Walsh's colleague, participated in one or more of the conferences. Open Way For Action McLean's representatives are un derstood to have indicated that the Washington publisher wishes to help in every way possible. Circumstances are such, however, that McLean de sires to know in advance whether the' committee and the special counsel wjll receive his co-operation in a frieniily spirit. The confirmation of Atlee T’ome rene by the Senate opened the way for the preparation of legal evidence to support criminal Indictments by a special federal grand jury here. Although there is certain to be a fight in the Senate Monday on the Owen J. Roberts of Philadephia, in dications are that opposition senators will be unable to block favorable acj tion. Even should the Senate decline to confirm Roberls, there would be hardly a hitch In the legal proceed ings, as President Coolldge is ready to submit still another nominee in order that there may be no delay. cxammo ttroKers osoki Side by side with the legal steps taken by the special counsel for the government will move the searching Inquiry of the Senate investigating committee to develop new evidence anrl to compel reluctant witnesses to reveal what they know of the cir cumstances surrounding the lerflng to private interests of the navy’s oil reserves. Agents of the committee will con tinue to examine the books of Wash ington, New York, Cleveland and Chi cago brokerage houses for traces of stock transactions likely to have been - related to speculation based on Inside information concerning the leases prior to the announcement of their consummation. The committee's experts already t have done -much Vork on the books of two Washington firms, and what they have found has resulted tn a call for additional books front out of town in order to complete their study. Awaits Return of Sinclair Meanwhile, the committee awuits the return from abroad of Harry F. Sinclair, whose interests obtained the Teapot Dome please from Secretary Fall after negotiations, which, ac cording to the testimony heard thus far. began immediately after the Harding administration took office in March. 1921. [ Sinclair is enroute from Nurope. i and is expected to cotne to Waaliing 1 ton to answer pertinent questions as to his personal activities in con nection with the negotiation of the leases and related matters. President (,’oolidge is manifesting an active interest in pressing the in quiry to the limit. He is s:iiy the known and un known political delevolpments first referred to. Jobbers, retailers and svmsumers arc buying what they re /qutre for their immediate needs and no more. In most sections the people are prosperous but net exuberant or en thusiastic. There is an utter absence of speculative Initiative everywhere and while but few commodities have declined, the steadiness seems to be due rather to the lack of selling pressure than to the eagerness of buyers. Cotton is the one exception. It has declined sharply because there is a growing belief that the prospective scarcity has been exaggerated. That stocks of merchandise in the hands of distributors are small is generally as serted, hut to this generalization there are some exceptions, .for there Is no denying that the mild winter lias made it hard to dispose of heavy clothing and shoes. Keports irorn me sreei umumry are ©ptlmistia. Tin and lead continue firm, and even copper is higher. The railroads seem to expect a large spring business and a possible scar city of cars, hut there is nowhere any elation over the outlook andthe fact seems to be that the public is depressed and aghast over the cor j ruption revealed nt Washington and the prospect, of a summer of re crimination in a presidential cam paign of unprecendented bitterness. For this reason it senna unlikely that we shall have anything approach boom before the November elections and equally Improbable that there will he acute depression The normal consumptive require ments of the country provide an enormous business. The supply <>r credit Is abundant. The statement of our foreign trade for January shows exports valued at $391,000,000, which is $95,000,000 In excess of the value of our imports, and the esaen- , tial soundness of our economic posi tions and equally improbable that there i great commercial activity If people were less apprehensive over the poli tick outlook and its implications.
