DAUGHERTY HEARING RESUMES ON. WED. Tliness of Sen. Wheeler Occa§wns Delay in Scandal Case Washington, March 24. — [Further hearings in the senate investigation of Attorney General Daugherty to- day were postponed until Wednesday. The postponement was due to the iliness of Senator Wheeler, democrat, Montana, the committee pmmuu;r. and to conflicting other committee members, Senator Wheeler is cor bed with a severe cold. Another member, Senator Moses, republican, | New Hampshire, was engaged the opening of a new investigation into Rio Grande land transactions. | Still another, Senator Jones, republi- can, Washington, was called out of the city. Chairman Brookhart said that the nquiry would proceed on Wednes- day, even if Senator Wheeler cannot return, When the committee resumes Wed- nesday it hopes to conciude with the testimony and cross-examination of Miss Roxie Stinson, divorced wife of Jess Smith, dead friend of the attor- ney general. Much to Be Sifted A variety of alleged “deals” invol- ving whskey permits, fight film distr bution, narcotic drugs and political ! support, remaining the principal | items on the Daugherty investigating | committee’s program. In addition, the committee has on | its hands the dispute with the attor- ney general's brother, M, 8. Daugh- erty, over its attempt to examine all | accounts amounting to more than 00 on the books of the Midland National bank of Washington Court House, Ohio, of which he s president. | The banker has insisted that the 9‘-I amination be confined to accounts| known to be relevant to the inquiry. The possibility that Mrs, Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attor- | rey general, might cross-examine | Miss Roxie Stinson, divorced wife of | the late Jess Smith, on behalf of Daugherty today helped to pack the | hearing room early with a more than usually curlous crowd. Miss Stinson | had not completed her direct testi- timony when she left the stand Sat- | urday, but was close to the ordeal of | eross-examination with indications | pointing to a duel of feminine wits if duties before the federal grand jury did not prevent Mrs, Willebrundt from | appearing for her chief, Besides Miss Stinson, William A, | Orr, who has been mentioned in con- nection with the alleged fight film and | whiskey permit “deals” and ¥red C.

The Sunday Times says it is time people cased trying to play grand- mother to the prince, “Although he has too much humor to be disturbed by objurgations that are half lecture and half cackle.” The Sunday Express declares that if the premier interferes he ought to devise a method whereby Wales could take a more active part in public life. “We ought to provide him with op- portunities for public service more in- teresting than laying foundation stones | and making after dinner speeches,” it | adds.
