4 ADAMS DENOUNCES G.OP. ‘TRAI]U[}ERS’] | Sees Attacks on Denby and Daugherty as an Effort to Shift Guilt. Supplementing his informal depre- cation yesterday of attempts to force Attorney General Daugherty to resign without opportunity of defense, Chairman Adams of the republican national committee last night issued the following statement: “The Integrity of a former repub- Hean cabinet official has been called tnto serious question because he ac- cepted money while in ofiice from cer- tain oil interests. The reputation of three former democratic cabinet mem- bers and other democrats prominent in_the Wilson administration has been -y received money oil interests as hire for with their their o political influence administration. much for the fucts regarding the use of money disclosed up to date in the oil investigation. Taking ad- vantage of this situation, a $ew po- litical blackguards and scandalmon- gers have launched a general cam- paign of nst members of the cabinet and others high in of life, Declares Den “One of the victims paign is Edwin Denl: the Navy. The record sho not perform a single act in connec- tion with the leasing of the naval oil ruscrves that was cither ille tmmoral —much less a betraval of public trust or inimical to public wel- fare. Not one of Secretary ‘Denby’s de- tractors can quote any official record or sworn testimony o the contrary. Not cne darm make his accusations outside the halls of Congress where he claims protection in the preroga- tive of uttering slander. “Now, it is being charged that At- torney al Daugherty _was a party to the trausaction. #e had nothing whatever to do Wwith the o leases. He was not even consulted regarding them. Those making these charges claim they want i congres- sional investigation of Mr. Daugherty in order to bring out the facts. But th not willing to wait for the) in eation. What the. Attorney Gen tire from th investisation can tope he will prefer to the alternative of remainin fice to be harassed and slander ‘he republican party organization rtands unalterably for clean and hon- ¢st_administration of publie affairs. 1t does not condone betrayal of pub- lic trust or seek to protect those of its party guilty of such betrayal. But BiS cquiey IBSisient oiae 2ullt Must ba proved or shown by evidence that admits of no doubt. Hysteria is not proof. Libel is not truth. Idle gos- 8ip and hearsay scandal are not evi- dence. “To punish *hope to do is to forc 1 Daugherty to re- inct before such an take place. They such retirement in of- innocent men upon such irresponsible and disreputable grounds often results in letting thos who are really guilty escape. It not without the range of possibilities that those who are now making wild ®harges against public officials seek to sacrifice innocent ‘men in order that guilt which should be ferreted out and properly placed may escape detection. Says Charges Revamped. “This i8 not the time to yield to the threats of thosc who are conducting this campaign of political terrorism or to the demands of thosc who are frightened by such methods. The record shows that most of the charges now wveing made are merely e amped from those made some time 4go by a member of the House of Representatives in a demand for At- v General Daugherty's impeach- rges were thoroughly in- by a House committee, | a vote of 20 to 1, denounced untrue and unwarranted. on of the committee, the > of Representatives concurred in by an overwhelming vote on non lines. The new charges no: made are nothing but cheap §ossip, part of which has already been utterly discredited. { Say Method Unamerican. | “Why should Attorney General Daugherty resign without hearing? That is not the American way of do- ing thing: It is timas for officials of | integrity to face their detractors and | place the brand of infamy upon those who make their public office the mouthpi of foul umny America, her institutions and her form of government, are not now, and never will be, endangered by enemles from withoul. Her menace is from those who, for the purpose of elevat- ing themselves into the limelight of questionable notoriety, or of serving the baser purposes of partisanship, seek to destro; the faith of the American jeoplc in their public offi- cials and institutions. “The time Ims come for republican leade: ip to stop acting on the de- fensive, and to begin aggressive war- fare on political traducers, who sat while the greatest’ orgy of incompetency and corruption the world has ever witnessed took place in Washington under the democratic administration. VANDERLIP SCORES STANDARDIZED PRESS Says Shadow of Business Office Im- pedes Stream of Information for Readers. By the Associated Press, OSSINING. N. Y,, February 23.—The shadow of business on the newspa- work of mewspaper men impede the mation’s stream of information, Frank A. Vanderlip, New York banker, de- clared in an address here last mnight. “We are in the extradordinary period of our time” he said. “As I see it, we need ‘above all else today a clear understanding of the facts. We want to know what is the truth. We want an unimpeded stream of infor- mation. 1 believe we have not a clear streaz of information. 1 do not think we know the facts in Wash- ton. Newspapers are not less able or honest than they used to be. There have been extraordinary de- | velopments in the newspaper field since I 4 newspaper man. News- papers are much larger and are large business enterprises. They are run with the shadow of the business officc on the news. While newspapers are vastly better and far more com- prehensive, there is a standardiza- tion about’them. KEach prints about the same news the other does, and none prints it all. There had been a vast change, so far as newspaper reporting is con- cerfied, since he was in Washington a8 assistant secretary of the Treas- ury, Mr. Vanderlip said. Today no newspaper man in Washington has the freedom of send- ing news he had in my day !hcre.l So we have the shadow of business on_the one side and circumscribed work of newspaper men on_the other. | ‘We need the facts. We need a dynamic public opinion which is going to demand action. “There are men among my old as- joclates who way: “It may be bad. but keep quict Fvout it. Put on the extinguisher.

INTERIOR IS UNINJURED Top of Sarcophagus Protected With Plank Covering.. By the Associated Press. LUXOR, Egypt, February 23.—After remalning closed nine days, the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen was forcibly open- ed yesterday by the Bgyptian govern- ment. A guard.of soldiers was drawn up, and many tourists were present. The minister of works . Thursday ordered Pierre Lacau of the Egyptian antiquities department to open the tomb yesterday, and great excitement prevailed at Luxor. It was known to every one that Howard Carter, repre- senting the Carnarvon _expedition, would not surrender the keys to the locks which secured the doors of the tomb and that the government offi- cers must cut the locks to gain cn- trance. License In Canceled. Mr. Carter, not having replied to the jultimatum of the goverument within the forty-cicht hours specified, invit- ing him to open the tomb and resume work under certazin cond.ti the cabiret canceied the lice. gin- ally nted to Lord Carnarvon and ordered the recpening of the tomb immediately, it was feared great damage might result through the ropes breaking and allowing the licavy granite Tid suspended over the surcophagus to fall and perhaps ir- reparably damage the magnificent sold-covered coffin within. M. Lac u, accompanied by M. Engle- 't of untiquities of Up. the governor of Kenah province, the mayor of Luxor, the chief of police of the district, and ive workmen with chisels, crow- s and hacksaws, arrived 'at the tomb at 2:30 o'clock In_the afternoon. The workmen sawed Off the locks of the outer and inner doors, thus per- mitting entrance to the tomb. No Damage Done. The clectric lights were turned en and « careful inspection showed that no damage had been done. After cov- cring several of the objects to pre- vent dust settling, the top of the rcophagus was covered with thin boards, supports were placed under the lid and new locks were attached to the doors. which were again closed. =The party then went to the tomb of Seti 11, which is being used as a laboratory and storehouse for the ob- jects taken from the tomb. Here also the locks were removed, and pieces of the shrinc, which wére more or less exposed (o the weather, were wrapped in nrotective covers. Neither Mr. nor any member of his s senr. 1t is under- ands of the courts to deter- mine his rights, until which time nothing inside the tomb can be re- moved. The tomb will be closed after the public view, which, it is stated, the government wili permit during the next ten days, when about 2,000 per- sons will be admitted. In the cvent of the faflure of the guvernment to adjust its differences with Carter, it ‘onsiders the antiquities department capable of completing the work.
