GIBSON & CO. e B Work. Guaran . Success in Forthcomipg Elec- tion Held Dependent on ! Administration’; Record. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Today ends the third year of re- !publican rule. WIll it be one year more or five? On the answer to that iquestion, the whole machinery of !politics is at the moment concentrat- ed. And the consensus of opinion is that on the record of Congrees in the inext few weeks, and the manner in which President Coolidge handles the executlve end of the Teapot Dome controversy, will the verdict of the jury—the American people—be ren- dered. - u Congress has done relatively little sinoe Tt assembled last December. Appropriation bills are delayed. As Senator Warren, republican leader, points out, the constructive meas- ures pending are in danger of being eacrificed by the necessity of getting appropriation bills out of the way. Another fiscal year begins July 1 and Congress In ‘way behind schedule. President Fights for Tax Bl President Coolidge, keenly awage that the spotlight is on him, has started his fight for Senate changes in the tax bill passed by the House. He has let it be known that the House measure is unsatisfactory. He is not ready to say on what grounds he would veto an unsatisfactory bill, but he has made it plain that the House bill s not what he wants. Nor is it what the Senate wanta. There will be changes, but whether they will make the measure more acceptable to the President or less satisfactory cannot be -conjectured. because opinion on tax revision has not _vet crystallized in the Senate. Already there is an effort under way to revise the soldlers’ bonus bill o that it will take on more of the aspect of a pald-up insurance plan than an immediate cash outlay, and the American Legion may accept it as the best obtainable at this session. Insurnnce as Collateral. It would not be so difiicult for the leglon to get through Congress in a year or so—or perhaps later—a simple piece of supplementary legis- lation enabling the ex-service men to borrow cash from the banks or the government with the insurance certificated as the basis of the loans. In the end the cost to the govern- ment would be the same, but the po- litical posstbilities of ‘success are greater by dividing the effort for the bonus. and doing one part of it only this year. The scheme would save political .embarassgent, and enable the Coolidge administration to go to the country with the record of havin, L?fluxl‘ed taxes and passed a bon 00 t Obstacle to Bonms. . The principal. obstacle whicle ihe bonus advocates have encountered is tax revision. The impression that :he bonus will make impossible a ic- duction of taxes has sunk in deeply. To offset it, the bonus champlons are preparing a bill that does not mean immedlate cash outlay. It would have not only a ‘better chance of passage, but would permit the cash outla a later date if Congress felt inclined to make the gran As for the ofl scandal, the friends of President Coolidge beiieve the po- litical effect of it will be felt only it Mr. Coolidge is weaker than his party. or, to put it another way, if he fails fo acquire a prestige which mil:t! him appear stronger than his part: - e - . - - Some of his admirers think Calvin Coolidge is today stronger than the republican party and that the mis: takes of the party will not be charged against him. If Mr. Coolidge can force tax revision through_ the Senate along such lines as are satis- factory to him the exhibition of { leadership will make him _stronger than his party. That would seem to be his objective at the moment.

LANSING, Mich., March 4.— Secretary- of State Charles J. De- land today ordered the names of Hiram Johnston, Sagihaw county farmer, and Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin, stricken from the list of certified candi- dates for the republican presi- dentiat nomination in the Michigan preferential primary. By the Associated Press. SAGINAW, Mich, March 4.—Belief that “Zilwaukee Hiram” Johnston is a. myth, invented to throw. the Michigan presidential preferential primary elec- tion_of April 7 into confusion, is grow- ing here, as newspaper men, after searching since Saturday, report failure in their efforts to find him. Johnston's name was certified for a place on the republican presidential ballot Friday, when petitions were filed with the sec- retary ‘of state-at Lansing. - “Johnston” is sald to be & Z{lwaukee township farmer, but thus far, only two persons have been found who pro- ifess ever to have known or heard of him. They are Willlam J.

The last of these telegrams was found among the code messages sub- mitted by the Western Union and was submitted along with the McLean telegr: (J. W. Zevely is attorney for Harry F. Sinclair.

Walsk Records Telegrams, Senator Walsh announced that the committee had found in its search telegrams exchanged between himself and E. L. Doheny. Reports of the exchange “had been whispered about,” the senator said, for the “purpose of digcrediting me.” He consequently put in the record the entire correspond- ence. It related in part to a letter from T. S. Hogan of Great Falls, Mont., asking the oil magnate to enter Mon- tana oll production. The communica- tions exchanged upon the Hogan pro- posals follow “New York city. My dear Mr. Dohen. 1 am inclosing a letter received from-Hon. T. §.

WALSH” ‘Lenroot Supports Walsh. Chairman Lenroot added to Senator Walsh's statement his own word that the committee had examined the tele- grams and correspondence Senator Walsh introduced and “unanimously voted ¢o exclude them from the rec- ord.” Committee members, Senator Len- root. sald, had trled to observe “strictest confidence” as to telegrams it had found but not put into the record. Senator Walsh suggested that H. F. Taff, superintendent of the Wash- ington ‘office. of the Western Union, might explain how the Walsh-Do- heny telegrams came to be presented to the committee. Mr. Taff then pro- jduced the subpoena, which, he sald, was a “general dragnet” for messages Isent by Doheny as well as other central figures in the oil inguiry. Names Acting Chairman. Before the committee called the first witness Chairman Lenroot an- nounced that it would be necessary for him to be absent for the remalin- der of the week, and he designated Senator Ladd, republican, North Da- kota, as acting chalrman. ~Friedman then took the stand and sald the McLean code telegrams were “caded by a book in the Department of Justice. 1 obtained the book from Mr. Burns,” added the witness. The Doheny message, Friedman sald, was in a “private code used by the Doheny companies.” There were expressions in some of the McLean telegrams, the witness continued, which Ipdicated that “some messages in the werfes have not yet been {ntroduced,”: . Mrs. Duckstein testified that she was the wife of W. O~Duckstein and had been a speclal agent since De- cember 1, 1923, of the Department of Justice, and for"the previous two years was private secretary to W. J Burns. Her husband, she sald, was private secretary to E. B. McLean. Calls Message Garbled. “I didn't send the garbled telegram which is In the papers,” she said. “There were words left out of that message which changed its meaning very much.” “Were you in possession of the hu- reau of_ investigation code?’ asked Senator Walsh 1 was at that time. I never used it for myself, but I sent messages for Mr. Burns. This message was in an obsolete code.

Burns meant W. J. Burns, chiet of the bureau?” “Oh, yes. The message was sent, Mrs. Duck- stein asserted, because Mr. Burns had told her a lawyer in_the department was asking whether Mr. McLean was a speclal agent of the department. Mr Burns said that these fin- quiries might make it embarrassing for Mr. McLean to remain speclal agent,”” Mrs. Ducksteln continued, ‘and that he might wish to resign. ‘And you are telling your husband legram,” Senator Walsh hat Mr. Burns thought Mr. McLean wanted to resign?” “Yes, that it might be embarra: ing_to the Attorney General for him o be speclal agent.” Chairman Lenroot re-examined the witness as to codes. The present De- partment of Justice code, she sald, she did not know, but the old code e had used as Mr. Burns’ secretary. “I never gave my husband a code book,” Mrs. Duckstein sald. “How did you expect your mespage to Palm Beach to be decoded?” asked Senator Adams, democrat, Colorado. “I knew Mr. McLean had the code. 1 asked Mr. Burns it I should send l;flu message In code, and he said “Ye Burns Takes Stand. . 3. Burns took the stand. ct Mr, McLean was a special agent,” Burns sald to the first question, “appointed before I came in, some time in March, April, May or July, 1921." “Do you know the reasons leading to his ‘appointment?’ asked Senator Walsh, . 1 do not.” “Tell us about the conversation with Mrs. Duckstein. “One of the boys came in and gaid inquirles were belng made_about M Lean's status. I sent for Mrs: Duck- stein and told her to send a message to her husband, who could suggest to Mr. McLean that he resign, because it might be embarrassing to the Attor- ney General.” Draws Own Inferences. “Why didn’t you send the message yourselt?” 5 “I didn’t have a right to demand Mr. McLean's resignation.
