...present decision affects but one-half of the dual oil scandal. The other scandal was identical in most respects with the Doheny affair, except that in it the accused oil man is Harry F. Sinclair, and the leasehold in question is the Teapot Dome reserve. The exploiters have been restrained from further pumping until the civil case is decided by the Supreme Court in April.

The sensational Cleveland News, stewing in its own juice finally became disgusted with itself and apologized to the public, in real misery...
