Court Acquits Sinclair of Teapot Dome Oil Charges Washington, April 21.-Harry F. Sinclair was freed today on charges that he conspired to defraud the gov- ernment in the Teapot Dome oil lease.’ A jury in the District of Columbia supreme court acquitted him, requiring only three ballots to reach its decision. One of the jurors, who withheld his name, later. said not a single - vote for conviction was cast by any of the jurymen in the one hour and 59 minutes they considered the case. ‘on the first ballot, he said, eight were for acquittal and four undecid- ed,_ and.o'n the second ten for ac- ”‘""'qu‘ittal and two undecided. 1.’ in-declaring Sinclair not guilty of conspiring with Albert B.

Reed, of Missouri, one of the candidates for the presidential nomination will speak in Clifton Forge next Wednesday night, and ar- rangements are being made to give him an old Virginia welcome. On the afternoon of the same day Senator Reed will be the honor guest of the Democrats of" Greenbrier county, W. Va., and is scheduled to address the people at Lewisburg at 2 o’clcck. From there he will come here for a night engagement and leave the next morning for Hunting- ton, VV. Va. Senator Reed will speak in the Masonic theatre here and every ef- fort will be made to make his stay pleasant. He will be the first candidate for president to visit Clifton Forge in 20 years, William J. Bryan having spent a day here in 1908 when he made his last race. one of those days when even the highest class hurling does not win. The Generals’ captain and hurling ace was setting the Virginians down in one, two, three order for five innings except on two 0003510115 when two hits were allowed, one in the first and the other in the second. He duplicated the third, fourth and fifth innings in the eighth too. The sixth and seventh were the fatal chapters, two runs being scored in the former and one in the latter. The whole Washington and Lee team appeared much improved over the team that appeared here before the Easter trip into the farther Southland, and by the close Of the season should be one of the outstand- ing college teams in the South as well as the South-Atlantic area. Virginia’s first score came in the sixth canto when Melrose, the Cav- aliers hurler, singled between first and second. He advanced. to third on April's single into right, and trotted home on a wild pitched ball. April worked his way to third and scored when Bowen shot a grounder to Franklin, who in turn tossed him out at the initial sack.

I.—General Trackmen Clash In Fifth Meet The track team will meet Virginia Polytechnic Institute there on Saturday, April 28. This wil lbe the fifth meet of the season for Coach Fletcher’s harriers, having won on from the Unversity of Rich- mond runners last Saturday—69 to 57—and lost three to Tarheels run- ners, namely, Duke, N. C. State and the University of North Carolina. Last Saturday the whole team showed a marked improvement in all events, out classing the Spiders in ten out of fourteen events. The Richmonders took all places in only one event——the mile, this was due to the General runners being unac- customed to the muddy track which Coach Dobson’s men had been prac- ticing on all week. This will be the second meet with Virginia runners and with their slate clean in the State title race the locals are working hard to check the Techmen. Such men as Sandifer and Bac- kus—Coach Fletcher’s dependables— will most likely be able to take care of the Blacksburg men in the ma- jority of the running events, how- ever the Techmen are very strong in the field events and should score heavily in the shot put and discus. The meet as a close and with a tentative exhibi- tion of Harold Osborne—former Uni- versity of Illonois track star and DELEGATES GREET NOMINATIONS LOUDLY Julian J. Kane of Maine went to the platform to second the nomina- tion of Florida’s favorite son, Dun- can U. Fletcher and Joe Edmondson from Tenn. seconded the nomination of Pat Harirson of Mississippi. Walter Ritchie of Arkansas, no- minated Joe T. Robinson, leader of the democratic party in the house, as a man, whose, speeches. have helped elect dozens of democratic congressmen. “He stated Rit- senators and wears no man’s collar!” chie. Euc Reeves of the class of ’27, delegate from Oregon, went to the platform and seconded Henry P. Johnston’s nomination of Atlee Po- merene of Ohio. A. W. Raminez, native of Porto Rico, declared in his speech, “that prohibition is the scourge of this vast land.” He states as his opinion that the majority of the people in the territories felt that prohibition had been forced on the American people.” “It is not enforced at all in the territories,” he stated. Again a Smith demonstration circled the floor. John Bell Towill of South Caroli- na, seconded the nomination of Sen- ator George. “Jessie L. Jones of Texas is the man who is reponsible for this con- vention, “declared J. L. Lancaster of that state. He said that Jones was one of the best known business men in the country, that he could give the American people a business ad- ministration and that his motto was “Shekels for the U. S.” He was seconded in the speech of McRee Davis, of Vermont, who de- scribed himself as a southernor at heart and who paid tribute to the hospitality of Texas and Houston. “I:':c3 is ltoth a business man and a diplomat,” he said. Shortly before the meeting was plementary extras were distributed by newsboys to the delegates. In the ensuing rush the newsboys were releived of their papers and the extras were in the hands of the de- legates in less than five minutes. The first session was adjourned at 10:30 p. m. to re-convene at 9:30 this morning. ______0:___ Providence, R. 1., April 24.— Rhode Island Democrats yesterday elected twenty delegates to the Hou- ston Convention, instructed to vote for Governor Smith for President “to the last.” The state delegation is headed by National Committee- man Patrick H.

(H u I é.’.i.;...;.;; Juegeis I Boosted For Burks’ Vacancy On Court Be it resolved as follows: In view of the retirement of Judge Burks, this bar, without a dissenting voice, recommends the Honorable Henry V\7. I-Iolt, Judge of the Eighteenth Circuit, Staunton, Virginia, for appointment to succeed Judge Burks as Judge of the Su- preme Court of Appeals of Virginia. Judge Holt has served upon the bench of this state for about twen- ty—five years, ever since he was a young man, first as judge of the Corporation Court of the city of Staunton and Buena Vista, and then as judge of this circuit, which he has served for about fifteen years, to the entire satisfaction of the peo- ple and the bar. He has served on the Special Court of Appeals since its organization, and his service on this court has met with the especial and entire approval of the bar of the state at large, therefore this bar ur- ges upon the Governor the appoint- ment of Judge Holt to fill the va- cancy caused by the resignation of Judge Burks. Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be forthwith sent to the Governor of Virginia, and that he be telegraphed innnediatcly the sense of this bar, and also a copy be sent to Judge Holt and to Judge Burks.
