THE TEA DOME OIL CASES.
Washington, Feb. 3. The White House has issued a statement withdrawing Rear- Admiral Gregory, head of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, as one of the prosecuting counsel named by President Coolidge in the oil cases, in consequence of a statement by Mr. Doheny to the Senate Committee that he had been employed with the all companies. In the. course of Mr. Doheny's examination to-day, it transpired that a pro- missory note alleged to have been given by Senator Fall did not bear a signature. Witness declared the note 'had been torn in two by Mrs. Doheny to prevent the witnesses* executer from suing Senator Fall for the amount if Mr. Doheny died. It also transpired that Senator Fall informed Mr. Doheny by long distance telephone on Nov. 29, 1921, that he would accept a loan for the improvement of his ranch. The tora note was dated Nov. 31, 1921. Mr. Doheny added that besides Rear- Admiral Gregory the former members of the Cabinet, Mesars. MacAdoo, Garrison and Lane had been employed in his oil companies, and that Mr. MacAdoo was still looking after his company's interests in Mexico. -Bruter's American Service,
Los Angeles, Feb. 3.
Mr. William G. MacAdoo, who is protending to Washington to the bedside of his father-in-law, ex-President Wilson, has requested permission to testify before the investigating mmittee. He declares that he was never employed or consulted regarding oil leases in the United States. His advice to the Doheny companies was solely related to Mexican business-Reuter's Anterican Service.
Senator Fall was brought before the Senate investigating Core- mittee despite the protests of his medical and legal, advisers. He refused to reply to questions concerning the vil leases or his relations with Mr. Sinclair 'Doheny. He gave his reasons therefor, drstly that the authority of the Investicating Committee had expired, secondly, In view of Congress directing the institution of court action any answers might tend to incriminate him. The Committee adjourned-- Reuters Azuerone Service.
Washington, Føb. 3.
The White House has issued a statement withdrawing zot Rear- Admiral Gregory but T. W. Gregory. The statement said that in view of Mr. Duheng's evidence the employment of T. W. Gregory as Govern- ment Counsel in the vil cases"might be an embarrassment for Mr. Gregory and perhaps be otherwise improper."”—Heuter's American Service.
Washington. Feb. 3.
Startling testimony was given at to-day's hearing before the House of Representatives Naval Committee which is enquiring, into the pll lenses. Rear-Admiral Robinson, Ezgineer-in-Chief of the Navy, stated it was the possibility of Japan, perhaps in conjunction wica Great Britain. Invading the Pacific Coast of the United States tha! prompted the Navy Department to arrange with the Doheny interests for the construction of fuel tanks at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii. The Admiral pointed out that the contract with Mr. Doheng was negotiated before abrogation of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, and therefore prior to the Washington Disarmament Conference which 'removed many causes of friction on the Pacific. Rear-Admiral Robison, emphatically banging his fist on the table, added: "If we hold a base, near Honolulu no enemy will conquer the west coast.”—Reuter's American Servite.
Washington, Feb. 3.
President, Coolidge has appointed ex-Senator Pomerene of Ohio as counsel for the prosecution, vice Mr. Gregory-Reuter's American Service
EX-PRESIDENT WILSON,
Feb. 2.
There way no improvement in ex-President Wilson's condition at four this afternoon. The whole country is stunned at the news that he is at death's door. The patient's hourly condition is the sole tople everywhere. He slept intermittently to-day, while the doctors watched by his bedside. Many rumours of his death have been in circulation. and dags on Government buildings were once mistakenly displayed at half-mast. His personal physielan, Rear-Admiral Grayson, called ther physicians into nonsultation, but there was little to be done except to make the patient comfortable. No opiates were administer- ed, but some sumulant have been used. Ex-President Wilson, has been plucky throughout, and told his physician that it was better that he should go than to remain a hopeless invalid. Mrs. Wilson is con- stantly at his bedside, bearing up bravely. Other relatives, including his daughters, were summoned. It is believed his malady originated
as a result of some indiscreet chale of food. It appears that Dr. Grayson was summoned from a hunting tip and found Mr. Wilson up. looking after his correspondence. He ordered him, to bed immediate B. Further stomach trouble continued, accompusled by viclent bleeding at the nose. The ex-President finally collapsed.
Washington, Feb. 3.
Early this morning ex-President Wilson's condition remaine 1 Arave. His physielans assert that he gradually lost ground. He is till conscious and free from suffering. His temperature is normai. His physician, Admiral Grayson remained at his bedeide all night long-Reiter's American Service.
New York, Feb. 3. Messages from Washington show that ex-President Wilsonis He is slowly ebbing away. His death is expected at any moment.
The ex-President has been conscious nearly the whole time. The latest bulletins state that his heart action is weakening, and he is in a state of almost complete prostration.
Many London Sunday editorials refer to his passing in most sympathetic terms; The Observer conclúdes an article: "History will honour him as a man who gave the world a new conception of its changed self, and a new conscience in international affairs."
