Daugherty Situation Brings
on Party Crisis, With
Grave Fears for Outcome
of Next Election
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 3924.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Panic
has seized the Republican leaders in
Washington. Swept off their feet
by the tales of an outraged public
opinion, the “grand old party’ is
torn between fear of what may hap
pen in the next elections and the
knowledge that to yield to popular
clamor is a confession of guilt
which upon investigation would not
be proved.
Attorney General Daugherty is a
dominant force in Reublican poll
. tics. Not only is he a practical poli
tician himself but he has the cour
age of his convictions. Chairman
John T. Adams, of the Republican
national committee, who has boldly
criticised Senators Lodge and Pepper
for daring to suggest to President
Coolidge that he call for Attorney
General Daugherty’s resignation, is
as clean as a hound’s tooth himself.
’ He does not live in the twilight zone
of politics and his readiness to cham
pion the cause of Mr. Daugherty
can be taken to mean that he has
made his own investigation of the
facts and has come to the conclusion
„ that there is no case against the at
"• torney general—nothing except the
Impression resulting from the clever
attacks made by the Democratic
speakers in the senate.
Adams Plan to Prevail
Chairman Adams’ strategy will
prevail. Attorney General Daugherty
Will have his hearing. Mr. Adams
represents the strength of the party
organization. On one occasion dur
ing the Harding administration
when Mr. Adams ventured to ex
press the opinion that it would be
unwise to agitate the world court
, proposal this campaign year, thei-e
was resentment in administration
quarters, but Mr. Harding yielded to
the counsel of Chairman Adams
rather than split the party wide
open, and here Coolidge, who has
even more reason to remain regular
and keep in the good graces of the
national party- organization, is like
ly to do the same thing.
It is Mr. Coolidge’s real desire any
how. He does not think any mem
ber of his cabinet should retire un
der fire and without a hearing.
Naturally the whole case is one of
political tactics. From a strategic
viewpoint the resignation of Secre
tary Denby was regarded by old line
politicians as a serious blunder, for
it carried with it not only the im
pression that he feared a public hear
ing and investigation, but it imme
diately stimulated the Democrats to
ask for more resignations, and they
centered their attack on Mr. Daugh
erty.
Must Show Fight
It is excellent strategy from a
party viewpoint for the Democrats
to get the Republicans on the run
and keep them there, so that the
country will lose confidence in the
Republican party. Men like Chair
man Adams think the game has gone
too far, and that it is time the Re
publicans backed up against it and
showed fight.
Unfortunately for the Republicans,
they are not themselves sure what
evidence will be uncovered as the in
vestigation proceeds, for nobody
knows who speculated in stocks at
the time the oil leases were made,
and the national capital is full of all
sorts of rumors. But the Republican
theory is that speculation or invest
ment by itself is not reprehensible,
and that it will be up to the Demo
crats to prove that the men who
speculated were in some way con-

Over Power Aid Bill
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—Senator
Dial, Democrat, South Carolina, serv
ed notice in the senate today that if
the government was embarking on a
program of federal aid to water pow
er construction, he wanted “a small
matter of $3,000,.000 for South Caro
lina.” ' Senator Dial said he was in
favor of development of power re
sources but was opposed to the loan
of government money' without inter
est as proposed in the approprion
item under discussion—construction
of a plant on the Yuma, Ariz., irri
gation project.
“We are building a dam on one of
the great rivers of my' state,” he
said. “It will cost around $3,000,-
000 and will furnish power to that
beautiful city, Charlestion. I want
my associates to know that if they
want this kind of policy, South Caro
lina will be glad to take about $3,-
000,000.”
‘ You’ll probably get it,” said Sena

“I hope so.” agreed Senator Dial.

IS CHECKED UNTIL

Most of Quotas Exhausted)
Only Few Can Enter U. S.
' Stoppage Is First in the
Nation’s History
BY HADEN COLFAX
(Copvrlght, 1924, by the Consolidated Press
Association —Special Leased Wire
to The Atlanta Journal.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23—No i cie
immigrants, barring a few scattered
handfuls, will be admitted to the
United States during the current fis
cal year w'hich ends June 30, next,
according to information made pub
lic today by the departmnt of labor.
All Europe, except for Scandinavia
and France, with a sprinkling of a
few scores of hundreds of immi
grants elsew’here, has exhausted its
quota for the current year.
The list of admissibles stood ten
days ago—latest date on which fig
ures were compiled—at 7,022 per
sons, distributed mainly as follows:
From Denmark, 1,528; from Estho
nia 799; from France 1,180; from Nor
way 1,291 and from Sweden 1,082.
The remaining 1,200 which may be
admitted to the country prior to
June 30 are divided among Armenia,
Austria, Hungary, Icland, Latvia,
Jugo Slavia and Turkov.
Within the next ten days, it is ex
pected, the remaining quotas will be
exhausted so that from then on un
til July 1, about four months, immi
gration to the United States will
have ceased absolutely.
First Time in History
It will be the first time in the
history' of the country, it is believed,
that the human tides will have
ceased to roll against the shores of
America, <
Under the present immigration
law, which expires June 30 next, the
number of admissibles is restricted
to 3 per cent of the nationals of any
country in the United States at the
time the census of 1910 was taken.
The total which may’ be admitted in
any one year has been figured out
by' the department of labor at 357,-
803.
The total is apportioned among
the various European and other na
tions affected by the law (South
America is not affected) in quotas
fixing the limit of immigration from
each country. The highest- is the
quota of Great Britain and Ireland.
77,342 persons, the next Germany
with 67.587, while Italy with an an
nual quota of 42,057, Poland with
30,977, Russia with 24.405. Sweden
with 20,042, Czecho-Slovakia with
14,357 and Norway with 12,202 fol
low in the <_ der named. Each of the
36 nations affected has an annual
quota of less than 10,000; seventeen
have quotas of less than 1.000.
Sweden alone of the eight nations
named above has not exhausted her
1924 quota, and even jn her case the
quota is 95 per cent exhausted.
Under the labor department’s rul
ings, not more than one-fifth of a
nation’s annual quota may be ad
mitted in any one month. Because
of this ruling, no nation can ex
haust its quota in less than five
months. The ruling was made to
prevent an overflow of immigrants
in the rush to get in, from flooding
immigration officers immediately’
after July 1 each year. Were it aot
for this check, undoubtedly
of thousands of aliens would descend
upon New York and other ports dur
ing the first two weeks of July’ and
virtually none at all during the re
maining fifty weeks of the year.
Annual Steamer Race
Even with this check, the annual
race among steamer. to reach New
York in the early morning hours of
July' 1 each year is participated in by
from ten to twenty’ vessels, each
laden with immigra Lome of
these vessels, reaching sight of
land before midnight of June 30. lie
just outclde the port and finish their
trips within a few’ minute;- after the
stroke of the clock ushering in a
new fiscal year.
As evidence of the pressure abroad
to obtain admitta ce to the United
States the department’s records
show that during the current fiscal
year, Great Britain exhausted her
quota within two days after the ear*
liest possible date, or November 3.
Italy’s quota was exhausted L-c; i
her 6: that of Holland. December 9;
Russia, December 15; Greece. Decem
ber 8; Poland. December 31, and Ger
many January 27. No move immi
grants from tof those nations x 11
be admitted to the United States un
til July' 1, next. Before that dale
the present law will be extended or a
new law enacted. Proposr's looking
to a new law contain restrictions
which would reduce sti.ll further 'he
number of abmissibles to two per
cent of the nationals numbered n
the IS9O census. Such a law i~ likely
to be enacted at this session of con
gress.
How effectually the bars will then
be up is shown by’ the estimate that
less than 200.000 persons would be
admissible, under such a law as com
pared ■with 357,000 this year, 805,000
in 1921 and 1,218.0 " in 1914.

be a great powwow about if we
don’t do. This occult force becomes

Yes, silly child. And God grant
him enough sense to answer you like

New Orleans Mourns
Death of Her Heroic
Assistant Fire Chief
NEW ORLEANS, Feb., 23—The
New Orleans fire departmen tonight
was in mourning because of the death
of Assistant Chief Jules Pujol, suf
focated early today w'hen the walls
of a building in Royal street col
lapsed during a fire, burying five
other firemen and himself in the
debris. The injured men were said
not to be seriously hurt.
The building destroyed was occu
pied by a saloon on the ground floor
while the upper floors were used as
a storage space by a department
store and the loss was estimated at
$50,000.
Pujol was a brother of Louis Pujol,
for many years chief of the depart
ment and had been a New Orleans
fire fighter since 1883, except for a
period during the World war when
he was fire mashal for the ship
yards in the Boston. Mass., district.
The assistant chief attracted the
attention of the country in October,
1891, when he rescued nine men,
women and children, from a burning
hotel here.
The people were trapped and Pu
jol, then a lieutenant, after placing
one end of a long ladder on a win
dow sill of the structure and the
other on the top of an adjoining
building, made nine round trips
across the shaky bridge, bringing all
of them to safety. His brother
Louis and three others held the lad
der while he performed the feat and
all were cited for extraordinary hero
ism. The following year Pujol was
awarded a gold medal because of
the incident.
Pujol, who was unmarried, was
born in New Orleans in 1864.
Louis Pujol arrived at the scene
of today’s fire before the body of
his brother had been recovered. “He
was doing his duty,” he said after
the body had been removed. “He
was on the inside, where he be
longed.”
Two Dead, One Field
After Gun Battle m
Streets of Booneville
BOONEVILLE. Ark., Feb. 24.—A
three-cornered pistol duel—sequel
of a prohibition officers’ raid four
years ago—was fought in the streets
of the little town Saturday, and
when the smoke of battle cleared,
two men lay dead and a third was
under arrest on a charge of murder.
The dead men are W. H-. Wilson,
fifty-six, former federal prohibition
enforcement officer, and Jess Wool
ridge, thirty, farmer. Woolridge
was slain by Wilson, who, in turn,
was shot to death by Edward Wool
ridge, according to witnesses.
Bad feeling was said to have ex
isted between Wilson and Jess
Woolridge as the result of a liquor
raid conducted by Wilson on the
Woolridge farm four years ago. The
men met here today and quarreled.
Both drew their weapons.. Wit
nesses said Wilson tripped Wool
ridge and shot him to death as he
lay on the pavement.
Edward Woolridge, younger broth
er of the slain man, witnessed the
slaying across the street, it was
said, and when his brother was shot
started to the scene. Specators de
clared that Edward Woolrildge was
in the middle of the street, when
Wilson turned and saw him. Wil
son immediately opened firfe. it was
said, but without effect. Y’oung
Woolridge then drew’ his revolver,
witnesses said, ano fired several
times at Wilson, who fell dead be
side the body of his victim.
Police who had rushed to the
scene arrested Edward Woolridge.
He '■was arraigned before a magis
trate and held in $5,000 bond pend
ing further hearing.

SENATOR DEMES
IN JUSTIFYING VOTE
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Feb. 23.
Albert B. Fail, former secretary of
the interior, made a “definite prom
ise” to Senator J. W. Harreld, Re
publican, Oklahoma, not to effect an
oil lease without first giving pub
lic notice of his intention, Senator
yarreld told a meeting of the Re
publican committee here today.
After this promise, Senator Harreld
said, “the deal was pulled off in a
dark corner.”
Senator Harreld’s statement caus
ed something of a stir because it
was said to be the first public inti
mation that Former Secretary Fall
had promised to give public notice
before he contracted the Teapot
Dome or any other oil lease.
The Oklahoma senator justified
his action in voting for the senate
resolution asking the resignation of
Edwin Denby as secretary of the
navy by declaring: “Knowing, as
I did, the facts, I could not vote any
other way without putting the
stamp of my approval on the most
crooked deal in recent American
history. Denby’s usefulness as a
public official was at an end.”
In explaining how he obtained Mr.
Fall’s promise, Senator Harreld said
that in April, 1921, he had pro
tested to the late President Harding
against the plan of Fall and Denby
to have the naval oil reserves taken
from under the supervision of the
navy department and transferred to
the interior department.
“I had the definite promise from
Fall then that these leases would
not be made without first giving a
public notice and then the deal was
pulled off in a dark corner.”
Senator Harreld declared that the
oil lease scandal has “shaken the
confidence of the people in public

ENTDMDLDGY BOARD
WILL SELL CALCIUM
ARSENATE IN STATE
The state board of entomology has
arranged to supply Georgia farmers
with calcium arsenate this year at
a price of 12 1-2 cents per pound
in less than carload lots, and 11 3-4
cents in car lots, it was announced
Saturday by Ira W. Williams,' state
entomologist.
A deposit of 20 per cent is re
quired on the smaller quantities and
SSOO on carload.
Mr. Williams issued the follow
ing- statement:
“We have arranged for a supply
of calcium arsenate to be shipped
into the state and shipped out to
farmers on any date they may speci
fy, provided that on that date they
have deposited with us a check to
; cover remaining amount due. Orders
will be accepted foi- 100 pounds and
multiples thereof. The material is
of the best quality and is inspected
and guaranteed by the board to meet
all requirements.
“It is our opinion now that we
will have to complete our contract
for the season immediately, as we
fear the price will go higher, es
pecially if the farmers wait until
they need calcium arsenate and all
place their orders at the same time.
“Therefore, in order to enable us
to do this, it will be necessary for
the farmers to send in their orders
at once. The mpst important thing
about dusting cotton is to have the
dust on hand and dust the minute
you find weevil. With the arrange
ments we now have, farmers will
be able to do this and not put out
the money for calcium arsenate until
just about the time they need it, and
at the same time be assured of a
cheaper price.”
