Previously it had been indicated that the entire slate proposed by Mr. Wheeler on the ground that he wanted “a real investigation” might, be accepted by the Republican leaders. “In announcing he id not favor Mr. Daugherty’s retirement until the inquiry was completed, National Chairman Adams apparently voiced the sentiment of other officials of the national committee, who have had several conferences on the sub- ject. It was indicated also that thelr views had been communicated to President Coolidge. “We feel that the demand now for the resignation of Mr. Daugh- erty,” said the chairman, “without a héarnig or trial and in face only of unsupported charges, is absurd.” The sudden return of Senator Walsh caused much speculation at the capital. He had planned to re. main at Pinehurst until the end of this week. He denied that any “specific matter” had occasioned a change in his plans but said he “had felt some anxiety over the trend the oil investigation had seemed to take in the past few days.” Senator Walsh added, however, that the procedure followed by the committee during his absence was in accord with a program which he had approved before he left Wash- ington last Sunday night. Immediately upon his return he conferred with other members of the committee and with Senator Wheéler to acquaint himself with the Intimate details of events tracspiring in his absence. A subpoena will be issued for Harry F. Sinclair, Senator Walsh said, adding that the possibility of the oil magnate refusing to testify on the same ground as did Albert B. Falt had been given credit. He said that if Mr. Sinclair took that position no attempt would be made to influence a change in his attitude. Discussing the public statement of Senator Elkins, Republican, West Virginia, that he had traded in Sin- clair ofl stocks, Senator Walsh said the committee’s decision to await complete examination of the brokers’ books before following any indi- vidual “leads” was a wise one. It will be interesting to know, Senator Walsh said, not only the amount of the oil shares purchased by Senator Elkins but also the pro- Portion these bear to the total orders handled from Washington at the same time and the dates of these transactions in relation to the dates of the oil leases. He took the position that the oil committee should not take the Daugherty inquiry into its province unless examination of the brokers books showed definite transactions by the attorney general in the oil stocks which might indicate a con- nection in point of time with the oll lease negotiations. WALSH RETURNS FROM VACATION. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Sena- tor Walsh, Democrat, Montana, leading figure in the oil investiga- tion, returned unexpectedly to Washington téday. ‘Whether the senator's return fore- cast any important turn in the oll inquiry remained undisclosed. He had: gone to North Carolina for a vacation and it had been ex- pected “he would be absent until Sunday or Monday. The Montana senator got in touch with other members of the oll committee tmmediately after he reached his office. He said he would have no statement to make until he had familiarized himself with the latest developments. Senator Walsh left Washington Sunday and has been in Pinehurst, N. C., taking treatment for a cold. Just before he started south he was informed of the special investi- gators’ report of oil stock dealings by Attorney General Daugherty and after he had conferred with other senators regarding it, Chairman Lenroot communicated the contents of the special report to President Coolidge. During his absence Mr. Walsh has declined to comment on those phases of the inquiry relating to Mr. Daugherty. EARLY ACTION ON RESOLUTION SEEN WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—With Attorney General Daugherty on re- cord as being ready to carry to the country his fight against efforts to force him out of the cabinet, nego- tiations proceeded in the senate to- day looking to early action on the resolution of Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, providing for an investigation of his administra- tlon. Progress toward a compromise on the resolution is understood to have been made yesterday at a confer- ence between Mr. Wheeler and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republican leader, who objected to the measure as introduced be- cause it undertook to name the In- yestigating committeo instead of leaving that matter to President Cummins, Senator Lodge, however, was described as being inclined yes- terday to aecept the personnel pro- posed by the Montana senator, and the latter expressed willingness to eliminate the specific provision which named «a committee of five headed by Senator Brovkhart, Ne- publican, Jowa, REPUBLICAN LEADERS SPLIT ON ATTITUDE TOWARD DAUGHERTY; Mr. Daugherty’s statement of his position was made late yesterday in a letter to Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania, who, with Senator Lodge, advised President Coolidge Wednesday to ask for the attorney general's resignation. Earlier in the day it had been disclosed that a re- Port received by Senator Wheeler from a special investigator stating that Mr. Daugherty had dealt in Sinclair of] stock was being investi gated by the of] committee and had been placed before the president. The attorney general made no re- ference to the Sinclair stock report in his letter to Senator Pepper, which was sent in response to a note, addressed to him by the latter informing him of the conference with the president. He denounced as “baseless, scandalously and de- famatory,” and “charges of my political adversaries” in the senate, and declared his “elimination, voluntarily or otherwise’ would be a confession that they were truc. “T will never be a party to such @ program” he asserted, asking “am I to be denied a right granted to even the basest criminal,” to “trial by his people.”* - Daugherty sent a copy of his letter to the White House, but of ficlals there made no comment ex- cept to say that he had not con- sulted them before he wrote it. Senator Pepper said his note to the attorney general had been sent after the White House conference because it occurred to him “that perhaps I had been in the posttion of saying something about a man behind his back,” and he did not re. gard it as one requiring a reply. FIGHT ON LAUGHERTY BRANDED “ABSURD” WASHINGTON, Feb> 22.—Chair- man Adams of the Republican tional committee declared today that the demand for retirement of Attorney: General Daugherty with: out a thorough investigation ap- peared to him “absurd.” The chairman and other offictals of the national committee ve ad- vised President Coolidge that they believe Mr. Daugherty should have a hearing before action is taken. “We feel that the demand now for the resignation of Mr. Daugherty,” said Mr. Adams, “without a hear- ing or trial and in face only of un- supported charges, is absurd.” Although Mr. Adams has not con- ferred recently with the president his views are well known at the White House. The matter has been discussed informally at committee headquarters for several days and Chairman Adams has given some thought of issuing a formal state- ment, ATTORNEY GENERAL CALLS ON SENATE WASHINGTON, Feb. 22—Harry M. Daugherty, who threw down the gauntlet yesterday to senators seek: Ing to force him out of pubic life, today walked calmly into the senate chamber and spent an unperturbed half hour in the midst of hig bitter- est foes. He told tnquirers he had come to fulfil a long standing promise to Usten to the reading of Washing- ton’s farewell address by Willis, of Oh!o—one of the few senators who publicly have championed his cause throughout the storm of criticism that has come down upon him. The unexpected appearance of the attorney general amazed hig ene- mies, created a. stir in the galleries, and electrified what otherwise would have been one of the quietest and most sedate of senate session: Entering the Tobby at one, he waited there until the senate “had convened and then entered the chamber and was greeted by Sena- tor Warren of Wyoming, one of the Republican patriarchs, who shook hands with him. He made his way acrosy the chamber and took a seat on a lounge in a corner on tho Re- publican side. Senator Moses, of New Hamp. shire, chairman of the Republican senatorial campaign committee, im- mediately joined him there and ‘ater Senator Hlkins, a Republican West Virginia, greeted him and took a seat near him. Mr, Daugherty. stood with the senators while the chaplain delivered the opening Prayer. He then took a seat again at some distance from Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, the Repub- lican leader, and one of the spokes- men for administration senators in urging that President Coolidge ask for Mr. Daugherty’s resignation. The attorney general had been given a bound copy of Washington's address and he followed closely the reading by Senator Willls, occaston- ally marking passages in the vol- ume with a pencil. In the midst of the reading, Sen- ator Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, author of the resolution for an in- vestigation of Mr. Daugherty’s ad- ministration, came into the chamber and conferred with Senator Le- Follette of Wisconsin, leader of the Republican insurgents, and a chief proponent of the Wheeler measure. ‘They still were in conference when Mr. Daugherty departed alone by a side door just as the reading was concluded. He appeared in high good humor. He smiled frequently during his con- verantions with Senators Moses and Hikins and give no outward sign to betray tha thoughts that ran through hie mind as he surveyed the chamber that had been the scene of much », determined attack upon his record as a member of the cab- inet, zi Senator Pepper, Republican, Penn- sylvanta, who also accompanied Sen ator Lodge ta the White House to a Czechoslovak Rep. 8 ctfs Dominion of Canada, 5s, 1952 French Republi Japanese 4s _ Kingdom of Belgium, | Kingdom of Norway State of Queensland, 6a U.

Representative ‘Longworth, Re- publican leader, said he had been assured several of the seventeen Republicans who voted for the Democratic income rate schedule would vote for a plan calling for a maximum surtax of 3714 per cent and a reduction In the normal tax on incomes below $4,000 from three per cent, as recommended by Secre- tary Mellon, to two per cent. The normal tax of six per cent on in- comes above that amount would be retained. After aiding some Republican in- surgents yesterday in gaining amendments the Democrats turned against a proposal by Representa- tive Frear, Republican insurgent, Wisconsin, to impose a tax on un- distributed profits of corporations, and it was rejected, 170 to 51.
