DOHENYS ATTEMPT TONVOLIE. WALSH OVL AFFAIRS BARE effort to suggest that he should re- sign in order not to embarrass Attorney General Daugherty, Burns said there were about eight Gollar-a-year men in the department now. “The last administration had thirty,” he added. ~ Burns said that Gaston B. Means, as a special agent of the department of justice, “may ha through him, dorie some work for President Lean telegrams. bert is attorney for E. B. McLean W. ©. Duckstein is 2 McLean e1 Secretary to McLean.) Senator Walsh, Democrat, Mon- tana, announced that the commit- tee had found in its search, tele- Srams exchanged in December be- tween himself and Reports of the exchange “had been whispered about,” the sendtor said, for the purpose “of ai me.” He consequently put into the record the entire correspondence. It related in part to a letter from T. 8S. Hogan of Great Falls, Mont., fasking the oll magnate to enter Montana -of! production. The com- munications exchanged upon the Hogan proposals follow: “Hon. B. L. Doheny, “120 Broadway, New York City. “My dear Mr. Doheny: “Tam enclosing a letter received from Hon. T. 8. Hogan, of Great alls, Mont., once secretary of state, and later a senator from Yellowstone county, Mr, Hogan en- joys the respect and confidence of our people. If you have not dis- missed the iden of entering the Montana field, and I very sincerely hope you have not, the letter may be of some interest to you, “Very truly yours, T. J. Walsh.” “Hon. T, J. Walsh, “U. S. Senate, ‘Washington, D. C. “Recetved your letter with en- closure from Mr. Hogan. If you or your brother are willing to take interest in his proposition I would be pleased to have him come to Los Angeles at bis convenience with maps and data.

Harding. “No, he hasn't resigned,” Burns said, be asked if McLean had gvien up his post as a special agent. PALMER WAS COUNSEL OR FALL, IS CLAIM. . Francis H. McAdoo, son of Wm. G. McAdoo, told the committee that McLean had telegraphed him that A. Mitchell Palmer, who was attor- ney general under Wilson, was act- ing as attorney for Albert B. Fall and Harry F. Sinclair. Mr. Palmer already has denied any such con- nection. McAdoo agreed to produce the telegram sent to him by McLean with respect to Palmer, but he de clined to furnish others, saying they were confidential as between lawyer and client. He denied the statement in one of McLean's telegrams that he or his father had been counsel for the publisher “for seven years. McAdoo said that in 1919 the firm of which he and his father were members was retained by E. B. Mc- Lean in relation to the will of the publisher's father, John R. McLean, ‘Two years later, the witness sald, this relationship ceased. Then Mc- Lean retained him again in 1923, but not his fath CODE MESSAGES READ INTO RECORD WASHINGTON, March 4—The mate oil committee devoted a er session today to the telegrams exchanged between Edward B. Mc- Lean, publisher of the Washington Post and his employes, while he was in Florida in December and Janu- ary. . war department code expert gave committe translations of the cipher messages found among the telegrams and William J. Burns, chief of the justice department's in- vestigating bureau, and Mrs. Mary Duckstein, an agent under him, were summoned to explain how a code once used by Justice depart- ment representatives came to be employed in somé of the McLean messages. At the beginning of the session, the cipher message as decoded at the war department were presented by W. F. Friedman, cipher expert of the army signal corps, They follow: “January 18, 1924, 3:17 P. M. “John F. Major, Care Washington Post, Washington, D. C. “This 1s a hypothetical question. John Doe draws a check for $10,000 On the back of the check is writ- ten endorsement as follow ‘John Doe for purchase of house.’ Does bank simply keep a record of the amount of cash drawn or does it keep a record of explanation writ- ten on back of check." “Your telegram of the 2ist was duly received. The suggestion you make is to me most alluring. After coming here I closed out my inte: ests in Montana «ranch enterp: and have since been anxious to an opportunity to put a portion of my meager accumulations into some Montana business. “I should further appreciate very much indeed the opportunity to be associated with you in some busi- ness enterprise.

Mr. Lewis Penwell, some years theretofore had purchased a sheep outfit on San Clements island together§with a 25 year lease from the government on the’ place. He was eager for me to join in the purchase, we having been associated in a number of like enterprises in Edward McLean, Palm Beach, “Zevely thinks trend of investi- gation favorable to you.
