fCoolidge Indorses Daugherty as Delegate

President’s Public Approval of Attorney General, Under Fire in Dome Scandal, Causes Another Political Stir in Washington. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Impeachment proceedings against Attorney General Daugherty were suggested by Senator Borah on the floor of the Senate today. Borah said “the only way this investigation can go forward is by impeachment.” “For my part I am willing to take my part in laying the foundation for such proceedings.” By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—President Coolidge approved Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty as one of the Coolidge delegates to the Republican convention, the full slate of which will be submitted to the Ohio electorate in the April primaries. The public indorsement of Daugherty, regarded at the White House as “perfunctory,” caused a political stir, as it constitutes Mr. Coolidge’s first open expression of his attitude toward Daugherty, whose rmeoval from the Cabinet, leading Republican Senators are seeking on the grounds he has lost public confidence.

Coolidge personally signed a “consent slip” bearing Daugherty’s name as a delegate. In the same manner he approved the entire slate of Ohio delegates submitted to him by George B. Harris of Cleveland. While the President’s approval of Daugherty as a delegate has of Itself nothing to do with his attitude toward Daugherty as Attorney General of the United States, such a poliical indorsement. in the face of the attacks upon Daugherty by three of the most in-

Daugherty Prepares to Fight Critics With Record in Office

By United Press WASHINGTON”. Feb. 23—Attorney General Daugherty today was preparing a detailed record of his administration of the Department of Justice as his answer to the charges on which his answer to the charges on which his removal from the Cabinet is sought. Daughepty will present his record to the Senate committee, winch, fflext week, will begin investigating it. He wiU also use it in a series of public speeches in which he will appeal to public opinion not to convict him without a hearing on the charges made by Senator Wheeler, Montana, and other critics. Courting Political Ruin President Coolidge is courting political ruin by keeping Daugherty in the Cabinet, Senator Robinson, Arkansas, Democratic floor loader said. Robinson’s speech was delivered in the Senate after it was announced Coolidge had indorsed Daugherty as a “Coolidge delegate” from Ohio to the next Republican national convention “It must be clear to everybody,” Robinson said, “that so long as the ! President retains as his intimate political adviser a man who has lost ■his confidence and the confidence of ; the people, it is calculated to work cut the political ruin of the executive.” Having made it plain he will not resign voluntarily. Daugherty let it fbe known today he does not expect t President Coolidge to ask him to quit i until he has been given an opportunity [to face his accusers before the Senate f Committee. i Daugherty has won to his support the aid of John T. Adams, chairman jef the Republican national committee. ‘ ■who. in a statement, asserted only | a “few' political' blackguards and | scandalmongers” were behind the refforts to oust Daugherty. Lodge Leads Opposition Aside from Senator Wheeler of * Montana, a Democrat, the leading fig--1 ures in the effort to get Daugherty to resign are Senator Lodge, Massachusetts, Republican leader in the Senate, and Senator Pepper, Pennsylvania, one of the recognized administration spokesmen in the Senate. Adams in his statement pointed out several former Democratic cabinet officials have been involved in the oil ■ scandals. He said the fight on Daughi erty was unjust and added: Hull May Answer j Adams' statement may be answered Itoday by Cordell Hull, chairman of 1 the Democratic national committee. . Adams, in his statement Friday, l*id, “It is absurd to talk of dismiss[ing a man who has not had a full hearing and oportunity to defend himself.” “Taking advantage of this situation a few political blackguards and scandal mongers have launched a general campaign of slander against memof the Cabinet and others high in official life. “One of the victims of this campaign fa Edwin Denby, secretary of the Navy. Not one of Secretary Denby’s detractors can quote any official record or sworn testimony that he performed a single act in connection with the leasing of the naval oil reserves that was either illegal or immoral, annch less a betrayal of the public trust or inimical to public welfare. Daugherty Not Consulted _“Now It is being charged Daugherty ,was a party to the transaction. He .had nothing to do with the oil leases. He was not even consulted regarding them. f “Why should Attorney General HOURLY TEMPERATURE m 24 10 a. m 27 j-J a. m 25 11 a.-m....... J 28 a- m ... 2512 (noon) ~35.. 32 * 36

fluential Republican Senators—Lodge, Pepper and Borah—held great significance for politicians. It was pointed out if Coolidge had declined to approve Daugherty that would' have been accepted at once as an indication he was no longer standing by the Attorney General Conversely, the fact he did accept Daugherty as one of his delegates was regarded as an equally clear indication he is standing by him.

Daugherty resign without a public hearing That is not the American way of doing things. It is time for officials to fq,ce their detractors and place the brand of infamy upon those who make their public office the mouthpiece of foul calumny.” QAFE ALLEGED OPENED Golden West Said to Re Running Against Court Order.

SLENIP, M’IEAN AND SINCLAIR GET SENATES!!* President’s Secretary Scheduled to Appear for Quiz at 10 A. M, Monday, By PAUL R. MALLON, United Press Staft f'orrespondrnt WASHINGTON, Feb 23.—" Get facts that will make legal nw for prosecution.” This is the purpose of Senator Walsh, leading crusader in the naval oil investigation, as he concluded today his program for next week’s probings of the Teapot Dome committee. C. Bascom Slemp. secretary to President Coolidge is to appear before the investigating committee at 10 a. ’ m. Monday. I Slemp will bo the first strong irtflicatiojj* were given he will I be questioned isosely about certain: stock transactions. Walsh who had just returned to j Washington after a week’s absence, is bent upon getting the investigation out of the realm of fancy and turning it once more into channels which will dig at the fundamentals of the scandal. The man who is said to know the story and to be willing to tell it, if his own interests are protected, already is under subpoena. Vanderlip Spoils Program Under this new trend of the case, the plan calls for a “getting back to basic facts.” Walsh had a clearly defined program of procedure which got out of hand. Frank Vanderlip was called in to explain rumors he heard regarding the sale of President Harding’s paper, the Marion Star. It was at this juncture Walsh decided it would be a good time to suspend hearings so he could revamp the program. That is what he has been doing during his absence this week. Meantime he points out that it is a singular fact the committee of which he is the prime moving factor is “going it alone.” No aid is being con tributed by buy of the Government agencies which might be expected to be functioning in cooperation with the committee —the Department of Justice, the Navy Department and tbo secret service. All these are leaving the whole probe, to the Senators. Schedule for Week Here is the schedule* for next week as desired by Senator Walsh: 1. Call Edward McLean, Washington newspaper publisher, who was an Intimate friend of President Harding and other leaders in the Administration, to learn what he knows or is willing to tell about the inception of 'lie scheme to lease the naval oil reserves, and who was in on the play. 2. Call C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to President Coolidge, for questioning about conversations he is supposed to have had with McLean and certain Government officials. 3. Call Harry F. Sinclair, for questioning about various phases of his lease of Teapot Dome naval reserve in tie hope that indirect evidence now before the committee .nay be obtained in form permitting i*s use in criminal prosecutions. Hits Stone Wall The committee adnvttedly ran into a stone Mali when former Secretary of the Interior Fall refused to take the stand and tell his story. It is Nared Sinclair and even Edward L. Doheny—the two lessees of the naval reserves—may now decline to testify further and that the only hope of tearing the lid off lies in obtaining the inside story from the source already mentioned.

City Utility Consultant Proposes Seven Cent Cash Rate With Four Tickets for Quarter Eighteen Rides for Dollar and . Penny Transfer Charge Also Are Suggested Anew carfare schedule for Indianapolis, ranging from cents to 7 cents was proposed today by Benjamin Perk, utility consultant for the city legal department. The proposal was made at a meeting of representatives of civic organizations at the city hall.

Perk declared the best solution of the financial difficulties of the Indianapolis Street Railway would be a schedule providing for 7-cer.t cash fare, four tickets for 25 cents and eighteen tickets for $1 with a 1-cent charge for transfers. Roughly this is considered a 6-cent basis. Perk declared the company needs $500,000 for rehabilitation and establishment of an adequate depreciation fund. He said the company had promised to put the revenues produced from the increase in* a fupd that it would agree to reduce rates if the fund exceeds $500,000 in any one year. New Cars Promised He said the company has promised that as soon as an increase is obtained it will buy twenty-five new cars and will send many of the old ones to the shops to be repaired. He said new cars could -be delivered ready for use in about six months. These cars, he said, will cost SIO,OOO each. Perk also revealed the fact that shortly befor© his death Dr. Henry Jameson, who was president of the board of directors, had agreed that the company should operate crosstown busses if money could be obtained.

Tenth St. plant and that the remainder is bought from the Terre Haute. In* dianapolia and Eastern Traction Company.

He said the company paid $1,235,000 last year in wages to conductors and motormen. Frank Clark, a real estate dealer, objected to higher fares, 'fficlaring there are six or seven times as many vacant houses in Indianapolis as at this time last year because Indian- | apolis citizens do not have as much j money as they had last year. 8-Cerrt Rate Seen Taylor E. Groninger, corporation counsel, said the company could obtain an S-cent rate if it applied to the public service commission for an increase. Others present at the meeting were Leonard V.

DEFICIT HELD UP ■ TO COOLIDGE TO FORM VETO Mellon Plan Adherents Say Garner Bill Will Show $300,000,000 Cut, By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 23. The danger of a treasury deficit was held up to President Coolidge today to get him to veto the Garner Democratic tax plan if it should get through Congress in the form in •which it has already been adopted by the House. President Coolidge must veto the tax reduction bill if the Garner income tax rates prevail, or leave a de--ficit of $300,000,000 in the Treasury,” said Representative Ogden Mills, New York, one of the hardest fighters' for the Mellon tax plan. “The tax bill as reported to the House has s been amended in a number of minor particulars—fnere .political gestures, which, though they mar a perfect plan of tax reduction, ar© not vital,” said Mills. “There are two amendments of real importance. The substitutions of the Garner income tax rates for the Mellon rate are vital. “The most serious effect of the. Garner rates is that in connection with other tax reductions they will produce a Treasury deficit of $300,000,000. i “This may well cdhipel a presidential veto and so deprive tne. people of the country of the immediate and expected cut in taxes. “Tire other amendment has to do with the definition of earned incomes. Every expert on taxation has declared it impossible to administer. A break down of the income tax is likely to result.
