Shortly after his retirement he was offered a position as associate editor of the Fellowship Forum, the organ of tiie Ku Klux Klan in Washington, which he is said by the present officers of that publication to have accepted. He did not serve in this capacity, however, according to the same Informants, because at about the same lime he was offered by President Cool idge a position as field secretary of tlu Congressional Commission for the Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington.

This position, with its high-sounding title, has since been abolished Senator Sterling is a member of the law firm of Sterling.

One of the men named in this tes timony. Joseph F. McKenna, 26, of 6211 8th Is being held, without bail, for a hearing on a homicide charge in Homicide Court tomorrow.

He has pleaded not guilty, and as serts that McGrath, son of former Police Lt. John McGrath, was his best friend. The other man, Francis Etcher, 25, of 722 51st who accuses McKenna of firing the fatal shots, Is being held as material witness and was to be arraigned today in County Court. TRIAL OF DR. DANE SET FOR JUNE 11 The Rev.

Dr. Charles W. Dane, through his attorney, Robert H. Elder, pleaded nbt guilty In Special Sessions today to the charge against him of practicing law without a license. Justices Herbert, Kelly and tlclnerney continued his $2,500 bail and set the case down on the trial calendar for June 11.

Mr. Elder asked one week in which to make a motion for a dismissal of last, having been sentenced for first degree robbery by Judge Donnellan in tne uourt oi uenerai sessions, Manhattan. He gave his address at that time as 124 W. 135th Man hattan. The young bandit was seen in the mess hall at 7:30 a.m.

today. An hour before that he was "counted out" ft the old cell block, where he spent the night.

A truckload of cinders left the yard this morning, and it was thought pos sible he might have hidden in that. Fraud Game a special brand of high-class liquor procured aboard ship on sailing night by the outbound passenger and that It Is likely to be confiscated it not delivered at once.

"Another method IS to send telegram to the passenger himself after his return to the United States, advising him that there are several packages assigned to him on the pier and that they will be sent to the Public Stores unless delivered at once and charges paid. "Another subterfuge of the bootlegger is to call the passenger on the telephone a day or two after his return to New York and represent himself as a steward on the ship. "The International Mercantile Marine Company wishes to advise its patrons that no one connected with the company Is in a position to offer or deliver liquor." According to testimony at the pre liminary arraignment of McKenna yesterday, after McQrath's body had been thrown irom tne car near Owl's Head Park, Elcher and McKenna drove to Brooklyn Police Headquarters. Elcher went to the reporters room, where tie is known. It was obvious he had been drinking heavily.

"A man has been shot in my car and I want a bucket of water to wash off the blood stains." he told reporters. The latter, believing him Intoxicated and Joking with him, gave him the water. The car was washed oft, it was testified, and the two men then drove to a Turkish bath in Manhattan. They were arrested on their return to Brooklyn. In view of the fact that police found no blood stains on the car, they seized McGrath coat, snoes ana which, they assert, were blood stained.

The shooting, it is alleged, was the result of a quarrel over a woman. the charge against the minister, who Is the pastor of St. James United Presbyterian Church in Rldgewood. The specific charge against him Is that he took $10 from Mrs. Georgia Costello, a stenographer, of 35 Orange for drawing her a will ths first of last month.

STERLING TO QUIZ SALT CREEK Oil; CHOICE CRITICIZED, (Continued from Page 1.) tor Plttman ol Nevada and other Democratic members of the Commit tee on Public Lands, which is to conduct the investigation. Senator Walsh of Montana, although present in Washington, is understood to have taken no part in the selection of counsel. Senator Nye. chairman of the committee, is said to have nnnnspri unnrMtitmpnr. All Democrats Rejected.

Every Democrat who was suggested as counsel is alleged to have been flatly tejected by these Democratic Senators. Among these Democrats were Huston Thompson, former chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, who directed the investigation made bv the Commission in the Sail Creek field, which first revealed that the Midwest Refining Company, which is alleged to have a monopoly a that field, was in reality a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. R. C. Bell.

Democrat, of Minnesota, who as Assistant Attorney General made the original investigation of tiie Palt Creek fiield and reported that the leases were largely obtained by fraud, was also rejected. Declares Selection Unfortunate. The same treatment was accorded Edward P. Costigan of Colorado, who recently resigned from the Federal Tariff Commisison in protest against what he charged were coercive tactics on the Daft of President Coolidge and certain. Republican members of me commission.

Senator Norris, who obtained pas-sane of the resolution for the inves-ligation of the 5ait Creek field, de dared in an Interview today with tne correspondent of The Eagle "I regard the selection of lormer Senator Thomas Sterling as counsel lor the committee investigating tne Salt Creek leases as unlortunate. Admitting Senator Sterling's ability as a lawyer, the fact that he as a member of the Senate voted to adopt the Spenesr of tne Sinclair and Daheny leases of tiie Teapot Dome nnd Elk Hills oil reserves is not calculated to inspire confidence in any oil investigation which he may conduct. I trust however, that by vigorous prosecution of the investigation Senator Stcrlin; may prove my apprehensions unfounded." Senator Sterling during his 12 years service in the Senate was regarded as an ultra-conservative Republican. Hi? most conspicuous activity was a strenuous attempt to obtain the pas sage after the close of the World War of Qiasuc seaiuon mw wnicn woiuu have seriously curtailed freedom ot the u.nica speech and of the press in States. He was also one of the prin cipal supporters of the seating ol Truman H.

Newberry ol. Michigan. After evidence was developed of the transmission of Liberty bonds and rash from Harry F. Sinclair and E. L.

Doheny to Albert B. all. then Secretary of the Interior, Sterling voted against the majority repcrt presented by Senator Walsh coitfomnint; the Naval oil leases, and for the minority report presented by the late Senator Seldon P. Spencer, "whitewashing" those leases. Thiii report for whU.2: Sterling voted declared: "Patriotierliy Secretaries Denby and Fall sought to effect what would avoid the possibility of a repetition of World War experience, at least so far as oil was concerned." Then klvfondftj Coan.

Following this. Senator Sterling be-eame the principal defender of the activities of Blair Coan. who. according to witnesses before the Borah Committee, was sent Into Montana by the Republican National Committee to "micar" Senators and Wheeicr. who were at ttmt time pioe-ruting the Investigation of the oil lrses and the conduct of the Department of Justice under Marry Daugherty, Although the majority of the Borah Committer exonerated Senator Wheeler and vigorously condemned Coan and those who were for his activities.

Sterling, single-handed, brought in a minority report i practice is understood to be before the Federal departments. Including the Department of the Interior, which is under fire in the present investiga tion. The Salt Creek leases were made under the authority of the General Leasing Act during the closing days of the Wilson Administration. A large part of these leases, in what geolog ists say Is the most valuable oil field in the world, went to the Midwest Re lining Company, a subsidiary of the Standard 01) Company of Indiana. The claims of the Midwest Company were attacked as fraudulent In a re port made by Bell.

No action was taken on this report by Attorneys General Palmer or Daugherty, under ootn of wnom Ben served. The leases to the Midwest have also been denounced on the ground that they gave that corporation and its affiliated companies of the Standard on ot Indiana a practical monopoly on tne on leases oi The transaction by which Fall ar ranged for the sale of all of the Gov crnment's royalty oil from the Salt Creek Field to the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Company, owned on M-50 basis by Sinclair Consolidated nllrt Ml ThIkm 1 umnuaiu VS11 Ul lUUlMim, J1UO tl3l been attacked as irregular.
