ual committeemen to either Fall or
McLean.
Wilton J. Lambert, counsel for Mr.
McLean, was present at the reopen
ing of public hearings st the invita
tion of Senator Walsh, who had
sought a conference with him. The
purpose was not disclosed, but it was
stated that the time for the examina
tion of Mr. McLean by the committee
still was undetermined.
Walilherg Summoned.
A subpoena was issued today for
f!. J). Wahlberg, former private secre
tary to Harry-*'. Sinclair, who will be
questioned as to the identity of “Mr.
Hays” to whom he has testified he
delivered $25,000 in Liberty bonds.
At the time of his testimony com
mitteemen thought the reference was
to an employe of Sinclair, but since
then there have been reports that it
was another “Mr.' Hays.” In this
connection, Senator Walsh, democrat,
Montana, annouiiced today there was
no present Intention of summoning
Will H. Hays, former postmaster gen
eral.
Senator Walsh also said he did not
plan now to summon Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty for queatlonlng as to
his statement In his letter yesterday
to Senator Willis, republican, Ohio,
that he had dealt in Sinclair oil stocks
after the leasing of Teapot to Sinclair.
Chairman Lenroot said In any event
Mr. Daugherty would not be called
until after expert accountants had
finished their examination of brokers'
books showing those transactions,
fl. Taff, Washington superintend
ent for the Western Union company,
was called an the flrat witness when
today's hearing . began. Senator
Walsh took the records of telegrams
submitted by the witness while Sena
tor Smoot, republican, Utah, read
them over hla associate's shoulder.
Chairman Lenroot went Into whis
pered conferences that followed, over
the messages, and then announced
the Intention to convene an execu
tive session.

“The committee desires to find
which of these messages are
relevant,” the chairman explained.
"The others will be eliminated and
those of importance In this inquiry
will be read.”
Thomas 1*. Dowd, manager of the
Postal company, likewise produced
some messages which were taken in
to the executive session.

Walah Denies Charge.
As soon as the committee ad
journed Senator Walsh, democrat,
Montana, who has taken the lead In
the oil inquiry, renewed on the sen
ate floor his quarrel with the news (
bureau of the republican national
comipitt*'® by contradicting hi un
equivocal terms the bureau's charges
that he sponsored the law under
which the oil leases were made.
lie declared the leases had nothin?
to do with the general leasing act,
and he also denied the .•rscertlor. of
the news bureau that he supported
the rider to the naval appropriations
hill of 1920, giving the secretary of
the navy authority to exchange
royalty oil for tank storage.
"It is not true that I supported it,
as the record will show," Senator
Walsh said. "Nor did any other sen
ator say anything about the amend
ment except the senator from Utah
(Mr. Smoot), who offered certain i
amendments and these were accepted
without discussion of any sort."
Upon request of the senator from
Montana, Senator Smoot confirmed
his statement, and Mr. Walsh then
challenged "any republican senator to
arise in his place and state whether
I have stated the facts incorrectly."
Senator Lenroot, republican, Wis
consin, said the statement was ac
curate, "except that the leasing act
did authorize the leasing of flowing
wells."
"Having thus demonstrated that
the republican national committee
and Its official organ is an inveterate
liar,” said Senator Walsh, "I shall
not trouble the senate further."
Man Asks Ex-Wife Enjoined.
Louis Block appealed to the dis
trict court today for an injunction to
keep his wife, Bessie, from interfer

their child. She oBtained a divorce

to take the child outside the state.
