...high seas (see page 12) the better part of the American Legion approached ever nearer the land wherein they will hold their monster congress under the great dome of the Trocadero, on the Right bank of the Seine, Paris. And as they came they surreptitiously glanced every now and then at a little of French Made Easy...
...more than four years two oily half-brothers have intermittently engaged the attention of the U. S. public. Their names are Teapot Dome and Elk Hills and their resemblance is close enough to make them almost twins. Teapot Dome, however, resulted from a collaboration between onetime (1921-23) Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall and Harry F.

The lawyers claimed that, assuming that this transfer was illegal, Mr. Fall...

Fall received $230,000 in Liberty Bonds as his share of the profits. When the Teapot Dome case first came up before a Federal court in Cheyenne (TIME, March 23, 1925), Mr. Blackmer, along with one James E. O'Neil, president of the Prairie Oil Co., left for France. Mr. O'Neil has not been located since. Mr. Blackmer was found...
