Senator Greene stil is far from veing out of danger. He has rallied from the operation which resulted n the removal of splinters of bone ‘om his brain, But there will be veveral day# at least when the pos- sibilities of complications will be present.

After declaring against encroach- ment of executive power by the senate in adopting the resolution calling for Denby’s resignation, he permitted Denby to resign. Did he stand by you? Not one of you think he did.” The Mississippi senator said that the National Republican, which he described as the “official organ” of the Republican party, recently con- tained ah editorial which. ‘defended the oil leases’; declared a fusion of Democrats and “demagogues” sup: ported the resolution calling for the Denby resignation; ‘and asserted that 95 per cent of the evidence be- fore the senate ofl committee was “bunk.” CONFESSES TO KILLING TWO CLEVELAND, Ohio., Feb. 19—A man arrested here for Warren, Ohio authorities on a charge of giving a fictitious name when he married there four - months | ago made a heath to Cleveland po- Mee today/that he. killed two Chi nese waitresses in San Francisco im December, 1920.

Just what action congress can take, however, is a question in dis- pute. The dry ‘eaders insist that enforcement officers must be allow- ed to carry weapons and to shoot to protect themselves.
