Doak already has dem- onstrated some of the abilities she will be called on to use when her husband takes his place as Secretary of Labor. When Doak appeared at the Lahor Department yesterday to take over his duties, only to find he had to awalt Senate confirmation, Mrs. Doak was with him, mixing with the labor leaders, shaking hands and receiving messages from far States where she had appeared with her husband. “I know all these men almost as well as he does,” she sald. “We've worked among. them for almost 30 years.” Having no children to "keep her anchored to one spot, Mrs. Doak, & small, smiling, feminine figure with curly blonde hair and blue eyes, has traveled far and wide. For 10 years, her home was a Wash- ington hotel, her life there the whirl of politics mingled with the social chat which always accompanies such sessions. Then the hear ve within Mrs. Doak had its day. She found a rural retreat where she could cook, sew, grow flowers in general and a rose garden in particular, and raise chickens.

On December 4 the committee will conduct & shearing, at which time, further New Jersey testimony will be taken, as a result of which the committee expects to be ahble to report finally. In the case of all the other States named, with one possible exception, the committee | is confident that its report could not possibly serve as the basis for any ob- Jection to the Senators-elect from those States being administered the oath of office and accorded a place in this body. “The one possible exception is that of Pennsylvenia, which State has issued credentials of election to James J. Davis. It is to this one case that this special report is directed.” Davis Issues Statement. In the light of exist conditions, Davis last night issued the following statement: “I was informed that Senator Nye wished to study further the matter of contributions in the recent Pennsyl- vania election. After consultation with Senate Republican leaders, who had also conferred with Senator Nye, i seemed to me best to withhold by cre- dentials until Chairman Nye had time to make his examination, that is, until tomorrow. “In_the meantime I desire to state that having nothing whatever to con- ceal I fully court whatever further in- vestigation r Nye cares to make and will co-operate with him and the committee.” ‘The Secretary’s resignation was made effective today. In Iec.?unl it, thei President, in a letter made public late yesterday, thanked Mr. Davis “for the manner in which you have conducted the DeY‘mnent of Labor for a period of nearly 10 years.” Predicts Return of Prosperity. In his letter of resignation, Davis re- minded Mr. Hoover that they had entered the cabinet of President Hard- ing together in 1921, “at a time of depression far greater than that through | which We are now passing and we came | out of it into the greatest yrupsrlty in the history of the country.” “Under your guidance we will emerge from the present depression into a prosperity as great as the one before,” he said. Mr. Hoover said in his reply that he regarded it “as fortunate, indeed, that the country is still to retain your service in the Senate.” Doak, meanwhile, was without official status. Yesterday he had gone through the form of taking the oath of office, but this was termed “merely a rehear- sal” later in the day.

YEGGS TAKE $6,000 FROM POST OFFICE Professional Robbers Sus- pected of Cracking Safe Last Night at Annapolis. Specfal Dispateh to The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md.,, December 2.—Th2 post office at Annapolis was robbed last night of stamps and money estimated at from $8,000 to $10,000 by & party of robbers numbering two or more, who were evidently professionals. They en- tered the building by jimmying a side window and opened the safe by the use of an acetelyne apparatus ané. nitro- glycerin. The tanks used by the robbers were left in the building. It is believed that the robbery took place between midnight and 3 o'clock this morning, as it was noticed that the ht which usually burns through the (ht was out during that period. ‘The_robbery was discovered by J. Kent Worthington, a clerk, who went on duty at 5:30 o'clock this morning. Worthington informed the postmaster, Joseph M. Armstrong, of what had hap- gened, and Armstrong in turn notified 'ost Office Inspector Harry L. Conner, who reached Annapolis at an early hour and took charge of the investigation. Outer Door Burned. Marks of the tools used ‘to open the window by which the robbers entered can be secen plainly on the sill. They succeeded in breaking the catch which held the window, readily entering the building at a point near the safe. heavy outer door of the safe was opened by Heat of the torch. A bar running 1 nl rom the lock was com- pletely destroyed by means of the in- tense heat, itting the door to turn freely. As they opened the safe door the robbers encountered an inner door, which they opened by blowing the lock with nitroglycerin. e wires and exploded fuse were left by the door and there were marks on the 'door evidently caused by the explosion. Inside of the vault the main safe was found, but it was protected by a burglar- proof lock and ently the burglars made no -effort open it. However, they opened five compartments pro- tected by light metal doors and which contained stamps and cash charged to the different clerks. Four of the compartments were open- ed with the torch and one by the use of & key. Loss Fixed at $8,000. The robbers secured the whole amount of their plunder by rifiing these com- partments. Each clerk at the post office is assigned a certain amount of stamps and at the end of the day's business returns his stamps intact to his own compartment. This system makes it possible to as- certain the exact amount of the loss. It is estimated that this will be at least € | $8,000, Exact figures will be given out | home. later in the day. There is also a possible clue in the fact.that a substantial portion of the loot consisted of books and 1 and 2 cent stamps, which may be difficult for the robbers to handle. SPIED FOR FRENCH, RED PLOTTER SAYS Passed Along Information on Industries, Ramsin Tells Moscow Court. By the Associated Press. MOSCOW, December 2, — Leonid Ramsin, “arch plotter” of the eight men on trial here for working to overthrow the Soviet government, today told how he and his men spied on Soviet in- dustries and passed their information along through devious channels to the officers of the French general staff. This happened in the trial where the four judges ruled only a few days ago that there would be no more mention of “friendly foreign governments.” ‘Through the mysterious agents iden- 3 tes every kind of information they could about the Soviet industrial develop- ment to a “certain French institution in Moscow.” ‘The only “French institution” in the Soviet capital is thrs French embassy. The defendants admitted today that most of their spying was done for the French, but they insisted that an es- plonage organization existed among the engineers in Soviet Russia for many years before this plot was Told to Cripple Railways. “Most of the instructions from Paris,"” said, Ramsin, “came from ‘K.’ They were demands for industrial jnforma- tion and for facts about military acti ities. We were instructed to disable military and electrical industries and to le the raillways at every op- portunity. In this conection our sug- gestions were approved by ‘R."” ‘The prosecutor, N. B. Krilenko, has drawn from each of the eight on trial details of fantastic efforts to -under- mine the economic structure.
