Passage of Wheeler resolution to probe Daugherty’s office agreed upon by Senate. By PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent W ASHING TON, heb. 29.—A. Mitchell Palmer, attorney general in the Wilson Cabinet, denied before the Senate Oil Committee today he had tried to impede the oil scandal inquiry by any unethical means. Palmer declared the work he did for Edward B. McLean, publisher of the Washington Post and the. Cincinnati Enquirer, was entirely in accord with legal ethics. 1 aimer was called because his name appeared frequently in telegrams between McLean and his employes here, in connection with efforts to prevent the committee calling McLean as a-witness. Senator Dill, Washington, Democrat, examined Palmer. “Were you McLean’s frieni or attorney?” “I’ve been an acquaintance, but T acted as his counsel." ‘‘Just how were you employed by him?” “Mr. Major (a McLean employe) came to see me.” * .. “Do you know what date?” “I think the 2fith or 27th of December.” Palmer produced a telegram which he said authorized his employment by McLean.

It advised Major lo tell Palmer that the only thing that would connect McLean to the inquiry was the loan of SIOO,OOO to Fall in 1921. The telegram was given to the committee by Palmer on Dec. 26. Showed Him Telegram “Was this the first notice that you were to be his attorney?” ‘‘Well, I think Major came to see me and said McLean wanted to retain me. He showed me the telegram either that day or the next day." “Is Mr. Zevely (attorney for Harry F. Sinclair) your law partner, as one of these telegrams said?" “No.’ ’ “Have you ever represented Sinclair?" "No. the only thing I can think of that might have given Major that impression is that the first time I ever heard of this case was in a conversation with Mr. Zevely. He is an old personal friend of mine-and called to see me at my home on Dec. 21. “Zevely then sketched the proceedings in this investigation. He told me Sinclair had been asked some questions he had refused to answer and that the committee compelled him to answer. He said Fall was in the city and was going to be called to testify and that Fall had a question in his mind as to whether he could be compelled to testify. Could Compel Testimony “I told hint my recollection of the rule was that the committee could compel a witness to tesify on matters under its jurisdiction. I told him I could see no reason why Fall should not answer the committee's questions.” “In a telegram from Major to McLean on Dec. 26, Mr. Major says: ‘Palmer and associates told me to tell you not to communicate with the committee,’ ” Dill broke in. “No ” began Palmer, but Dill interrupted. “But you yourself sent a telegram on Dec. 29 to McLean advising him against saying anything.” Referred to Public Statement “Oh. that referred to issuing a public statement —not to testifying before the committee. Zevely and I never saw Major’s telegrams. I've told you all I did with Mr. Zevely.” “Do you know Ira Bennett of the

Do you know why Crocker should do bo?" “No.” Had No Connection "Did you ever have anything to do with this?” “No.” “Was Mr. Zezcly also attorney for McLean?” “Not that I know of.” “Why did Major advise McLean to be careful about you because you were connected with 'other parties’ ” “I do not know what he means by ‘other parties.’ I had no connections in this oil matter." “Are you acting for anybody else who is connected with the oil investigation?” “Not that I know of.” “Do you represent Mr. Doheny?” Never Saw Underwood “No. Nor I did not speak to any Senator other than as I have stated. It has been said I saw Senator Underwood. That is absolutely untrue.” Palmar then related how he had taken to Senator Walsh a telegram he had received from McLean telling of his illness in Florida and inability to testify and how he decided to send a letter to Chairman Lenroot about it. I.enroot Asks Question Chairman Lenroot asked: “What conversations hare you had with me, Mr. Palmer?” “One moning I called you on the phone and told you I had this telegram from McLean saying he was ill and could not come to Washington. I asked you to lay the telegram before the committee and you did so. That’s the only conversation I ever had with you.” Walsh then took up the question ing. “What conversation did you have with Mr. Zevely about Fall and Sinclair refusing to testify?” CALL FOrTnCOME TAXES Resolution Provides Sinclair and Doheny Returns Be Furnished.
