COURT CHARGE BRIEF Says He Is Not Surprised But Pleased at Outcome.

By HERBERT LITTLE, United Press Staff Writer. Washington, April 21. Harry F. Sinclair is innocent of a charge of conspiring to de fraud the government of the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve, a jury decided here today. The verdict was returned at 12:24 p.

m. The jury started its deliberations at 10 :28 al most exactly two hours earlier. Under strict injunctions from Justice Bailey the verdict was met with silence. "I am not surprised, I am very much pleased," was all Sinclair said later as his friends crowded about him pounding him on the back and shaking his hand. He smiled but not broadlv.

Justice Jennings Bailey formally discharged the defendant on motion of Daniel Thaw Wriight, one of the oil man legal staff. Sinclair wife and mother, sitting in a front row in the courtroom, hurried out of the room as soon as the. Judge adjourned the court. MARKS RRIEF CHARGE. The Judge took only 48 minutes to instruct the jury.

He reviewed bit by bit the evidence submitted in the government's effort to show that Sinclair irregularly obtained the lease of Teapot Dome naval oil reserve on April 7, 1922. He said the jury must decide what evidence to accept and reject, and that an overt act as well as existence of a conspiracy must have been shown if a "guilty" verdict were to be returned. He said the "benefit of the doubt" must be given the defense and the ouraen vi pruoi itsicu uyuu. nic government. "The indictment raises no presumption of guilt," he told the attentive jurors, who looked fresh after their twelfth night of being locked up.

Justice Bailey, wore the usual black robes of a judge of the District of Columbia Supreme court. He Is a quiet Tennesseean, and he spoke softly but with inflections to emphasize the points he wished to emphasize. MUST SHOW OVERT ACTS. "It is not enough to allege the existence of a conspiracy," Justice Bailey said. "Overt acts in furtherance of the alleged conspiracy must be shown.

"A conspiracy Is an agreement to do something wrong or to do some thing lawful in an unlawful manner," he said. "It is not necessary for the government to prove that Fall and Sinclair entered into an "explicit agreement" in this case, the judge said. "Defraud" in this case means not only to cheat the government of money but also to obstruct the lawful operation of the government, he added. DON'T CONSPIRE IN PUBLIC. Furthermore, he said, "it is not necessary to have had a witness testify directly that there was a conspiracy." "You are aware that conspirators do not conspire in public," he said.

Sinclair, sitting in the midst of his lawyers facing the Jury, and Mrs. Sinclair, were- cheerful as the court convened. Both chatted with newspapermen but would not discuss the case.

BREMEN RELIEF HOP POSTPONED Bennett and Balchen Both Suffer Influenza.

By The United Press. 7 Murray Bay, Aprid Illness of both pilots has cVlayed for at least 24 hours the relief plane's flight to Greenly Island with repairs and supplies for the airplane Bremen. Floyd Bennett developed influenza during the night and was not able to leave his bed when called early today to make ready for the last stage of his northward flight. Later it was learned that Bernt Balchen, Bennett's co-pilot, also was suffering from the same malady. The Ford plane, in which the two pilots flew to Lake St.

Agnes airdrome from Detroit yesterday, was loaded and ready to be taken up when the report reached the field that both flyers were ill. Their haste in leaving Detroit and the day long flight was said to have lowered their resistance. PLANS REVISED. Plans for the flight to Greenly Island were revised on the basis of a new developments. It is now likely that the plane will leave at 5 a.

m. Sunday. When the plane hops off for Greenly, Maj. James E. Fitzmaurice, the Irish flyer, will go along to rejoin his German companions of the ocean hop; also in the plane will be Otto Koeppen, German mechanic.

The four hope to make a non-stop flight to Greenly Hand. The great Ford plane carries spare parts, benzol and delicacies Including food and beer. BALCHEN PREVIOUSLY ILL. Balchen had come out of a Detroit hospital to go up into the icy northland to aid Capt. Hermann Koehl and Baron Huenefeld, held at Greenly island since their Bremen landed last week.

After Bennett was examined, it was believed that he would be in shape tomorrow to make the journey. If he isn't, Duke Schiller, the Canadian crack pilot, will take his place in the Ford machine. Today's delay may lasult in alteration of the reception schedule in New York, although there is a possibility that the Bremen can get to Murray Bay by Monday and complete fueling. TAKE-OFF PROBLEM. There is the question whether the Bremen will be able to take off from the ice-bound Greenly isle.

The Diane has been resting on impro vised buoys where it broke the ice of the island reservoir. But now, the Germans. Capt. Hermann Koehl and Baron Huenefeld, with aid of natives, have built a steep runway down to more solid ice. There is the danger, however, that the runway is too steep and that difficulties may be encountered moving the plane down its incline.

United Press Staff Writer. Washington, April 21. President tCoolidge has put a crimp in the plans of Republ can leaders who were working to draft him despite his "I do not choose to run1 and other statements. This was the Interpretation gen erally given by factions in the party here today to the letter cooiidge wrote to Francis Prr cott, chairman of the Republican state committee Boston asking that the "tne sticker" campaign for him be stopped forthwith. COOLIDGE LETTER.

The letter follows: "Report has come to me that some persons in Massachusetts are proposing to write in my name as a candidate for President at the primaries on April 24. Such action would be most embarassing to me, and, while appreciating the compli ment that is I request that it not be done. "My name is being used in other states in a way that is contrary to my wishes. I have heard that in New York it has gone so far as to be claimed such is with my tacit consent. "In my own sttae, to give any countenance to such a movement would tend to compromise me and lend color to the misre: resentatlons that apparently, are being made in other states.

LEADERS FEARED MOVE. I am, therefore, sending you this public declaration of my position and requesting that such attempts be discontinued. The movement had been feared by Republicans who were sincerely in favor of drafting the President against his wishes. They believed that if the activity could be kept restrained so as to prevent such an amendment, the President might be nominated in case of deadlock in the convention. This word comes as Republl cans in many states were begining to revive the "draft Cooiidge' talk as a way out of the deadlock which many of them fear in the Kansas City national convention.

This talk had been especially strong in New York, where powerful party leaders opposing Secretary Herbert Hoover have ceaselessly urged the presi dent's renomination. In the last week it has been insisted that the President is the man who has the best chance of defeating Governor Al Smith. OPINION OF FESS. Reports have been circulated recently that in the event of a bona fide deadlock the President could be persuaded to accept. This week Senator Fess, of Ohio, the Republic can convention keynoter, said that if the convention is deadlocked it will be necessary to turn to the President X4 lead the party out of its chaos.

Recently friends of Herbert Hoover said that there is no possiblity of the President being drafted. They represented that they had positive information to that effect which might be produced if necessary at the proper time. Some significance too nas been attached to the fact that within the next few weeks leading up to the convention the President is scheduled to make an unusually large number of speeches; some saw in this a subtle movement to bring him to the front as a political figure in the convention balloting. But many felt that in view 01 his tetter the probability of his ac cepting a nomination had become more remote, ttis statement tnai such a movement tended to "com promise" him was taken to indicate that the President felj that it was a reflection his personal in-teeritv to assert that he would ac cept a nomination after stating that he did not choose 10 run, mat ms decision would be respected and that the party should look for another leader.

a Two motor cars, a cumbersome machine with triple motors, and a tiny single motored machine, will attempt to lower the record of 206.95 miles an hour that Captain Malcolm Campbell established over this course only a fortnight ago. One of the motor cars will be the Triplex Special owned by J. M. White of Philadelphia. Yesterday Ray Keech drove the Triplex at an average speed of 201:1731 miles an hour along the sand course.

After the run White said one of the three Liberty motors had failed to function. Keech will try again tomorrow and it is expected Frank Lockhart will take his diminutive Stutz Black-hawk on the course in an official test run.

M. Declares Executive Board. By LEO R. SACK, Pittsburgh Press Staff Writer. Washington, April 21.

The so-called "save the union committee," instead of trying tc save the United Mine Workers of America is in fact seeking destroy the union, a resolution adopted by the executive board of the mine workers declared! yesterday. The "save the union committee and the Ohio-Pennsylvania reliel committee, heretofore vnfj: oi the senate committee investigating the coal strike, were denounced by the board as controlled by communists prohibited for union membership. The two organizations are encouraged by anti-union coal operators, the resolution said. Their present method is to at tack the officers of the organiza tion, to attack its policies and to minimize its strength and in every conceivable way play into the hands of the non-union mine operators," the executive board declared. GIVEN FREE ACCESS.

"It is a well known fact that in non-union towns, closed to officers and members of the United Mine Workers, the emissaries of these dual organizations have free access in order that they might easily ply uieir neiarious work. In fact, nonunion operators see to it that their non-union employes are supplied with copies of various circulars and newspapers published by this, aggregation." Members of the United Mine Workers are warned by their officers not to have any dealings with the "save the union committee" under penalty of expulsion from the union. The "save the union committee' met in Pittsburgh recently and demanded resignation of John Lewis, union president. FOUR UNITS WORKING. In the resolution, adopted by the executive board of the mine workers, appears this statement.

"At the present time there are four separate units in this conspiracy, all of them having their headquarters in Pittsburgh. The units are as follows: 1 The so-called save the union committee; 2 the Pennsylvania-Ohio relief committee 3 the international1 workers' defense; and, 4 the workers' party group. These four units co-ordinate and are working together for the consummation of their purpose. All four organizations are controlled by communist influence and some, we believe, are financed by communist money and nonunion coal operators' money. In support of the statement that these organizations are communistic in character, the board points out an article written by William 2.

Foster, head of the communist movement in America, published in the April issue of Labor Unity, an avowed communist magazine. SLOGAN: LEWIS MUST GO. In that article Foster tells of the activities of the save-the-union committee. It is recalled that the save-the-union committee held a convention in Pittsburgh April tc formulate a policy and plans for carrying on its campaign against the United Mine Workers of America. The slogan adopted by the save-the union committee is "Lewis must go." meaning that John Lewis must be driven out of office as president of the United Mine Workers and a communist elected in his place.

The international executive board points out that the Pittsburgh Coal Co. financed a so-called labor pa per, called the National Labor Trib une, to fill its columns with attacks upon the United Mine Workers of America and its officers, and that practically the same line of material is now being published in the "CoaJ Digger, published by the Save-the- Union committee and distributed among the striks- breakers Pittsburgh Coal Co. and other nonunion companie- as a substitute for the National Labor Tribune.
