Senate oil committee faults Fall with loans in naval leases
A Republican minority report on naval oil leases defends Edwin Denby while condemning Albert Fall for accepting a $100,000 loan from Edward Doheny and other favors. It notes the transfers may be before court, calls the conspiracy rumors unfortunate, and says leasing the reserves saved millions for the government. In Florida, counties curb unsightly highway signs, while American Stone Company plans to quarry Pine Hills stone for grinding stones at Littleton, with a potential local plant and ongoing tests.
