Washington, Feb, f.—Immediate consideration of the resolution of Sen- | ator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, for investigation of the Attorney General Duugherty’s administration was block- ed today by Senators Lodge of Mussa- chusetts and Moses of Ncw Hamp- shire, When Chairman Keyes of the con- tingent expenses committce reported the Wheeler resolution, Senator Robinson of Arkansas, democratic floor leader, in the absence of Senator Wheeler, asked unanimous consent tor immegiate consideration, Senator Lodge got in the first ob- Jeetton and Senator Moses, also on his feot, reinforced it, Under the rules the resolution goes over a duy, but whether it will be considered tomor- row I8 uncertain because of the previ- , ously arranged program for a joint mewmnorial session for President Hard- ing. Coolidge Confers President Coolldge prior to today's cubinet mecting had an hour's con- ference with Paul Howland of Clev lund, who was attorney for Attorpey Genernl Dangherty in the house im- peachment proceedings of u yeur ago.

While the cabinet was mecting, and while the oll committee was fn execu- tive session examining telegrams sent to A, B. Vall, and K. B. McLean at Palm Beach, a senate messenger ar- rived at the department of justice with a communication for the attors ney gencral, Department officlals were seeretive regarding the nature of the message, but they considered it urgent enough to forward it im- mediately to Mr. Daugherty in the cabinet room. Concorns Another Matter As the cabinet meeting broke up to- day, Mr. Daugherty sald the message | torwarded to bim during the session “related to another matter on which I must make a decision this after- noon” and did not concern in any way the attacks made upon him, The attorney general was among the last to leave the cabinet session bt it was stated emphatically by other members that the question of his retirement was not considered. Asked by newspapermen about re- ports of a move in some administra- tion quarters toward persuading him to resign effective at some future date, Mr, Daugherty said No Resignation At All “You, who have known me since I have been in Washington, should know that 1 ne pre-date or ante- date anything. Whenever and if ever 1 have any communication to write or statement to make you may rdit as- sured it will bear the date of the day my action is taken.” He declined to discuse the eonference between the president and Mr. Howland. Answering inquiries as to whether any statement would be tortheoming from him in the near future, he said that if there were, + “everybody will be notificd.” omfi@@ FALLS Teaped To Her Death From Above the Amcerican Falls. carlier Niagura Fafls, N.
