ANDERSON, Ind., Feb. 18—Coroner Helbert of Madison county was still considering his report today on the Fortville interurban wreck. The report may be issued later in
the day, he said.

HIS REVELATIONS WRECK THE hopes of one candidate and may hurt others. By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. — Washington politicians of neither party are showing evidences of overweening affection for Edward L. Doheny, who has been one of the most picturesquely interesting witnesses to be called before the senate committee investigating the oil lease scandal, for scandal is the word now generally employed in connection with tlie case. As the politicians view it, Mr. Doheny is a champion manipulator of the guillotine. lie lias been at work decapitating the captains. Irrespective of party feelings, Washington today seems to think that one great L>eiuocrutic. chieftain has been eliminated as a presidential possibility by tlie fact that he was employed us a lawyer for the oil company which, it is charged, was trying to make too ricli a strike in the public domain. Of course it is William G. McAdoo who is counted by a good many men here as being out of the Democratic race for the nomination. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen. Washington politicians speak of Mr. McAdoo today as definitely out of consideration, and with him are one or two Democrats who, it must be said, were only remotely possible ultimate nomination winners. No Democrat and no Republican of the socalled conservative school thinks that Mr. McAdoo's former connection, us attorney, with the Doheny interests ought to disqualify him from the proper pressing of his ambition, but they say tlie people will look at it differently and that therefore it is a case of down and out for the hitherto most conspicuous candidate for the Democratic nomination. Public Opinion Has Changed. Things work curiously In politics. Fifteen year# ago it is probable that most of the people woald hove applauded any man who entered lato the service of an independent oil company in any proper capacity. All that one had to do la a somewhat eMsr day In Washington to rone* onopMon and awaken werda of scorn woald ho to mention the Standard 00 company. Anything which wns done In th* wnp of attack on the ao-cal4ad trust in bohalf of independents fighting against it In the field would have boat commended as a patriotic duty. Today things have changed. It seem# many people feel that Independents in the oil fields can have ns much of the mark of the devil of capitalism as a trust can have. It Is n case of “big monv?y,” whether it Is made, handled or spent by an Independent company or by one which wears the gyves and shackles of Com blnatlon In Restraint of Trade. lOn$ great Democratic newspaper already has eliminated Mr. McAdoo from the field of presidential nominn tion possibilities. Tliis newspaper said editorially from the first that it would be dangerous for Democrats in congress to try to make political capital of the Fall Incident. It seems to have spoken truly. Democrats’ Plans Are Misty. What are the Democrats going to do with Mr. McAdoo out of It? A good many of them were trying to put tlie former treasury chieftain out of it at a time when they did not have such powerful ousting implements as they hare today. William G. McAdoo wa* by far the most likely choice of the Democratic convention for the presidential nomination. It was believed be would have a majority of the dele gates and would be likely after a few ballots to secure the required two^ thirds majority. It is probable that the Democratic leader* will move a little slowly for a while In their endeavor to fix upon someone who is big enough for the presidential Job tad yet who can stand unblinking In the light of publicity No one knows yet who Doheny, the king-killer. Is likely to bring next to
the block.
Republicans here are somewhat Jubilant, possibly more so than the oc easion justifies, but they say they have found justification for their first pronouncement that guilt is personal and not partisan. It matters nothing that they would have made it partisan if it had been a Democrat working under a Republican administration who first had been accused of doing the tiling which ought to have been left undone. So It seems to be that some gentlemen with ambitions are to be snerified not because they had anything to do with oil lenses which ought not to have been grunted, but simply because they accepted retainers and pay from men who, developments seemingly have shown, thought that any means of money-making were Justifiable even if they Involved the tempting of men whose clients were supposed to be the people and no one else.
