COOLIDGE FREE OF SUSPICION. WASHINGTON, March 1.—The senate oil committee today sought the truth about references , to “access to the White House” and other mysteries evoked in the wire correspondence of Edward B. Mc- Lean, publisher of the Washington Post relating to his involvement in the inquiry. When the attention of White House officials was brought to this part of the correspondence, they asserted emphatically that President Coolidge knew nothing more about it than any other newspaper reader. The phrase was brought into the messages in connection with ar- rangements for the private leased wire established between the offices of the Post and McLean's cottage at Palm Beach, which was manned at Washington by BH. W. Smithers, chief communication officer at the White House. One of the tele- grams specifically named Francis H. Homer, Baltimore attorney, as giv ing “easy and quick access to the White House.” liomer, Smithers and all others named in the messages who have been identified were under subpoena today and the committee hoped to learn from some of them the identity of the persons called “Apricd “Apple: “Peaches,” and “Cherries” as well as the mean- ing of various code words. ‘The other witnesses summoned to: day included E. W. Starling of the White House secret service staff; 5. S. Rochester, confidential adviser to Attorney General Daugherty; Francis H. McAdoo, son of William G.
