Try to Hush Up Scandal Washington. Feb. 5.—An injunction preventing Doheny and Sinclair from taking any more oil out of the navy’s oil reserves will he sought by Silas Strawn and Atlee Pomerene, the pres ident'a special counsel in the oil fraud cases, just as soon as their ap pointment i» confirmed by the senate. An enormous pressure is being brought to bear upon Senator Walsh and other members of the senate in vestigating committee to induce them to abandon further probing of those implicated in the oil scandal. Demo cratic Influence is being added to re publican influence, now that high personages of both paities have been smeared with oil. The slogan is "it ban gone for enough." The powerful “social lobby" ot, Washington, which former Senator Kenyon exposed and denounced, is hard at work trying to block or divert the Walsh committee. They are stricken vvith terror at the possibilities in Walsh's investi gation of the books of Washington's very elect were tipped b.v Xrail to got hi on Sinclair stock ami “clean up" when the stock spurted upward as J> ail announced the ciase of Teapot Dome to Harry X'. Sincalir. See Overthrow of Republic. The enemies in the investigation are raising the cry that the welfare of the republic, is at stake. They in sist that if any more prominent lead cis of the big political partieg are shown to wear the livery of the oil kings, the people will lose complete confidence in their government and we shall have bolshevism or worse. Other outstanding developments in tlie oil lease scandal today were: 1. Four senators, all of them mem bers of the well-known "poker crowd” at the capital, were added to the list of government officials sus pected by the committee of having made fat profits by speculating In Sinclair oil after being "let In" by Secretary of the Interior Fall, or somebody. 2. A circumstantial story reports one of the stock plunging senators leaping into a taxicab and dashing t«> a local brokerage house, one of the largest in Washington, as soon as it was announced that the Walsh committee had subpoenaed the brokers and their books. Another of the suspected group is declared to have lost 20 pounds In weight since the probe started. :j. Crave doubts having arisen In the Walsh committee's minds as to the date when the signature was torn off the $100,000 note which Fall is alleged to have given Uoheny, a.n expert microscopic examination, is being made of the tear, to see tt^the i agger! edges are fresher than xhe i l eases tn the note and the note it self. “Mr. Schuyler” Introduced. 4. Universal Service today an nounces exclusively the name of the mysterious "Mr. Schuyler” who sign ed the check returning to Uoheny J8.2&0 with which he admits having paid I.eo J. SUck to try to get Uo heny Hie lease of Teapot Dome from Secretary of the Navy Uanieis. t He is Carl Schuyler, who In 1921 was general counsel for the Midwest Re fining company. Samuel Ungerleider of Cleveland, who maintained a branch brokerage H office in tlie Hotel Willard in Wash ington in Teapot Home leasing days, arrived with his books too late to keep Ills appointment with the Welsh committee this morning. The com mittee adjourned until Friday. • The Standard Oil company of Cali fornia, was today dragged unwilling ly into the picture. Its attorney, Os car Sutro, failed to persuade Senator Walsh of the legality of the Standard Oil's claims on section 3f. of Naval Reserve No. 1. When the senate meets Thursday Walsh intends to call tip his sleeping resolution calling up on the president to have his special counsel proceed against the Standard OH in aection 3ti just as against Uo heny and the rest of the reserve. Harry F. Sinclair, who will sail fot the United States Ftdiruary 12 on the liner President Harding, will lie sum moned to appear before the Walsh committee and asked to produce th« books of tlie Hyva corporation, liis private investment company. Hyva checks, in tlie testimony of Archil Roosevelt, were reported to have beci sent to the foreman of Fall's ranch nt Three Rivers, N. M.. in the amoum of $88,090.

By fnltcnltl Service. Washington. Feb. 5.—The world to morrow will do homage to Woodrow Wilson. On land and sea, the booking guns of the United States army and navy will carry the tidings that a great commander is being buried in the capital of the nation. Tolling chimes will tell the people that, in the unpretentious home where he suffered and died after leaving the most powerful office at the gift of mankind, simple rites are being said for him to whom the world turned in its hours of need. The hallowed words of the Twenty third Psalm—“The l.ord is my shep herd"—a simple, extemporaneous prayer, a few favorite devotional se lections, and the mortal form of Woodrow Wilson will leave that earthly home for the last time.
