Jan. %.—With 32 coal miners dead and with eight in the hospital, two of whom are not expected torecover, Illinois mine author- ities, the Coroner and company officials today joined in the in- quiry into the explosion, yester- day afternoon, in the workings of the east mine of the Crerar Clinch & Co., near here. The explosion is attributed to spontaneous combustion of coal “damp’’ and dust, from unde- termined causes.

TOKIO, Jan. 26.—In accordance with ancient custom, the wedding of the Prince Regent, Hirohito, and Princess Nagako, eldest daughter of Prince Kuni, was celebrated at the imperial palace this morning with Shinto rites. The Crown Prince, who is regent and heir apparent of the powerful Easterrr empire, is a member of the oldest dynasty now reigning in the world. Tokio made the most of its first occasion for nattonal rejoicing since the September earthquake and fire. Tremendous crowde jammed the streets and open spaces around the imperial palace and 'greeted the Prince and his bride as they proceeded by separate routes to the palace for the ceremony.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 26.—Presi- dent Coolidge today asked the In- terior Department to submit to him expert advice as to the wisdom of the policy under which the 8Sin- clair and Doheny interests secured | leases from former Secretary Fall for the oil reserve in Wyoming and California. The President asked the depart- possible moment a report on the This inquiry is separate from the instructions given the Department of Justice which is studying the evidence to determines whether there has been proof of fraud, but both actions are directed toward the same end. The purpose is to ascertain definitely whether the leased should be canceled. ° Coolidge may make a public statement of the Government's in- tentions, both as to criminal and civil proceedings as soon as the de- partmental investigations are con- cluded and as soon as Mr. Fall has R What Government Gets Out of Oil Leases, as Shown by Walsh WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. EVIEWING the terms of the leases to the Sinclair and Do- heny interests, Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, in a state- ment today, said that if all the oil in the Teapot Dome reserve were taken out under lease and the Government given from 16 to 17 per cent, the Government would have not to exceed barrels. “The question is presented accordingly,’’ Senator Walsh said, “as to whether it would be better for the Government to have 22,00,000 barrels in the ground or 5,000,000 bar- rels out of the ground. But that is not the whole story. The contract of Sinclair is not only a lease, but it is a con- tract of sale, under which the Government sells its royalty oil to Sinclair, who pays for it in royalty certificates reciting the amount of oil sold by the Government with the value thereof at the current rate, sometimes monthly.

ATTORNEY GIVES OIL MANS PLAN 70 COMMITTEE Modification of Original Proposition Does Away With Inspection by an Expert Commission. EXPECTS RETURN OF HIS EXPENDFTURES Son of Former President Reiterates Former Testi- mony as to Payment Made to Ranch Manager. | By the Agsociated Press. WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—An er- der by President Coolidge for an expert inquiry into the wisdom of the Fall ofl leasing policy was fol- lowed today by an offer by E. I. Doheny to cancel conditionally his lease to the oil reserve in Califor-_ nia. The offer was presented through Doheny’s attorney to the Senate In- vestigating Committee as it was assembled to hear Archie RKoose- velt repeat his previous story of how he resigned from the Sinclair interests, whichg held a lease on © the Teapot reserve in Wyoming. because of his suspicions as to the relations between Sinclair and Fall, The inquiry ordered by the Pres- ideat is to be conducted by the In- terior Department, and is for the purpose of determing whether the leases should be angulled. In hie offer to the committee, however, Doheny offered to cancel] his éon- tracts only if his company wete reimbursed for its expenditures on the Government property. Fall Note Introduced. Before Roosevelt took the stand again today, G. T. Stanford, a SMm- claim attorney, produced a note for $25,000, signed by former Interidr Secretary Fall and entered it in evi- dence as having been given for the loan of Liberty Bonds from Sinclair to Fall, testified to yesterday by J. W. Zevely. Roosevelt repeated under exami- ~ nation his declaration of last Mon- day that G. D. Wahlberg, Sinclair's Private secretary, had told him he had seen canceled checks of the Hyva Corporation, a Sinclair-Tea- pot Dome company, for $68,000. made out to the foreman of Fall« ranch in New Mexico. Wahlberg intimated, he said, that Sinclair had departed for Europe hurriedly because of the Teapot in- vestigation. The private secretary also inquired of him, Roosevell. added, how far he ehought his loy- alty to his chief ought to go.
