Coolidge and republican organization |leaders in the senate and house to- |day reconsolidated their lines in | preparation for an aggressive effort {to clear the congressional calendars of important legislation. ! The legislative program in general, | and means of speeding up action, | was discussed by the president with | | republican leaders of the house at a | breakfast conference and later with Senator Lodge of Massachusefts, the ! republican senate leader, and Chair- |man Smoot of the senate finance committee. The president went over with the republican house leaders the legisla- tive situation in that body in detail, discussing the measures yet pending before the house, including legislation to afford farm relief. The house leaders attending the conference including Speaker Gillett, | Representative Longworth, of Ohio, the floor leader; Chalrman Snell of the rules committee; Representative Begg of Ohio; Chairman Green of the ways and means committee; | Chairman Madden of the appropria- | tions committee; and members of the republican steering committee. The president's callers left the ‘Whlte House under the Iimpression | that the president might not commit himseif definitely on the particular form farm legislation shollid take, al- though there was some possibility that a specific recommendation on the subject fnight be transmitted to congress later, The president was said to be firmly of the belief that something should be done before the close of the session to relieve distress among the farmers, but he is sald to look askance at the provision of the MecNary-Haugen bill which would require the govern- ment to supply $200,000,000 capital for the corporation that would be set up to sell surplus farm products broad. In line with his attitude on the McNary-Haugen bill and the expen- ditures that would result from its en- actment, the president is taking a firm stand against any legislation which would increase expenditures without affording means for bringing additional revenue into the treasury. His attitude on this point led most of the house leaders to believe that he wonld veto the soldiers’ bonus bill, ‘which has been submitted to him, and might be lukewarm toward the postal salary bill unless a provision is in- corporated to raise fynds for meeting the pay increases by an Increase in postage rates, Particular importance also is at- tached by Mr, Coolidge to the bursum pension bill, which he vetoed last week, He is understood to have asked for assurances that its repas- |sage would be prevented, but the congressional leaderd were unable to give him any positive information on that subject. Conversation at the White House conference hinged for a time on the efforts of a democratic-republican insurgent coalition to put through the Barkley bill to abolish the rail- road labor board, All of the house leaders who participated in the dis- cussion fought the measure when it was taken up Monday and they in. formed the president they belleved they could stave off action. They conceded however, that insistence of supporters of the measure to press it to a vote might jeopardize a number of other important measures which the house would be unable to reach it consideration of the railroad bill was protracted.

HAVEN Lawyer Again Criticizes-Burns Denies Taking Means'Diaries Washington, May T7.—Conrad Crooker, Boston attorney for minority stockholders of the Boston and Maine made his third appearance today be- fore the senate Daugherty committee to criticize former Attorney General | Daugherty’s modification of the con- | sent decree in the New Haven merger case. He asserted that Federal Judge Mayer had been ‘grossly imposed upon by Mr, Daugherty” in allowing the New Haven decree to be at first modified and later vacated. Daugherty “turned the New Haven loose on the Boston and Maine,” by his actjon, Crooker said, since the con- sent decree forbade the first named railroad from participating in the control of the Boston & Maine. W. J. Burns, chief of the bureau of investigation, came into the hearing room during Crooker’s testimony and Senator Wheeler, the committee pro- secutor, said he intended to examine the detective chief later in the day. Crooker asserted that along with the modification of the New Haven decree Daugherty also dismissed crim- inal Indictments against Wm. Rocke- feller and other directors of the road which were pending several years af- ter the legal attack on the merger. Paul Howland, attorney for Mr. Daugherty, got the witness to agree that the indictments had been kept pending for seven . years before Daugherty took office without action except for one trial on some of them, which resulted in a jury disagreement, Burns On W. J. Burns, chief of the depart- ment of justice investigation bureau, told the senate that although he had assigned an agent to “shadow Gaston B. Means,” this man was not concern- ed In the disappearance of Means' va- rious documents and dlaries. Burns said he had ordered a man named “Bonner” to watch Means, who has been an agent and detective for the committee. | “Bonner followed Means wherever he went,” Burns ssid, “That was done at the suggestion of Hiram C. Todd, assistant attorney general prosecuting Mr, Means in New York."” When Senator Wheeler suddenly switched the questioning to Burns’ as- soclation with Blair Coan, an employe of the republican national committee, who went to Montana to investigate Wheeler, Burns agreed that he knew Coan and had met H. C, Glosser, & witness against Wheeler. Senator Wheeler asked Burns how many times he “consulted Coan.” “What do you mean, consulted?"” replied the witness, “I saw him four or five times. We talked about Sen- ator Wheeler's case every time."” He identified a man named “Mc- Graw,” as a private detective for- merly employed by himself, but de- clared the man worked now for the republican national committee. Confers With Lockwood. “You have consulted Mr, Lock- wood, secretary of the national com mittee, frequently on my case? Senator Wheeler demanded. “1 talked with him several times,” Burns sald. Under further questioning finally conceded that he talked with Lockwood and former Attorney Gen- eral Daugherty about the indictment before it was returned. “How many of your private men were in Montana on my indictment?” Senator Wheeler asked. “Not a one” Burns exclaimed, “though & lot of these lice around here are trying to tell you they were.” Senator Wheoler told the witness not to ‘browbeat” the committee, but to moderate his veice. Burns took exception to that, saying that the sen- ator would be “mad too, if he knew as much about this as I do.” The committee prosecutor then went back to the experiences of Gas- | ton Means. Burns sald Means went to work for the German government during the war, but at the same time made reports to the Burns private agency, which had some éonnection with the English secret service, and that the reports really were intended for the United States government. Means, Burns sald, -offered him $100,000 as a “retainer” from German governmefit, but he refused it. The Burns agency, engaged guarding munitions plants where the | nilles were getting supplies, got Means' reports, which Burns said, “were very valuable” The dates were in 1915 and 1916, “The important reports which Means made were 80 badly treated by those In the government” Burns eommented, “that he got sick and tired of making them.” Burns then testified he knew How- ard Manington and that Jess Smith “used an office in the department of justice.” Another Flare-Up. Another spat was threatened when | Benator Wheeler sought the identity of the dollar-a-year men employed as seeret agents by the burean of inves- tigation.
