PRESIDENT SEEKING
MID-WESTERNEB AS
■ ATTORNEY GENERAL
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire-Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright. 1024.)
WASHINGTON, April I.—Presi
dent Coolidge will choose an attorn
ey general from the middle west or
west—and not from the east.
Thrs much has been decided upon,
though the individual who will fill
all the requirements of the present
situation has not yet heen selected.
The president is giving considera
tion to the geographical questions
which enter into the make-up of
cabinets. He already has a member
from Massachusetts in the secretary
of war The Democrats have been
getting ready to raise the cry °
New England domination in tie
government since the speaker of the
house and the chairman of several
important committees come from
Massachusetts as does the Repub
lican leader of the senate.
To add another man from Massa
chusetts, it is recognized, would sim
ply add ammunition to Mr. Coo i g _
opponents. Coupled with this is he
fact that Chief Justice oC A o
Massachusetts supreme court who
would be chosen if
England were taken, would ha d
’ wish to take the attorney
task at this time unle ? s . h ® 1 °he
forward to an appointment to the
supreme court of the United ■ < •
and there is no telling just when the
next vacancy will occur.
Radicals Large Kenyon
The outgoing attorney general

Al The en ra e dicals in the Republican
party as well as some conservative
are clamorin* for the appointment of
Judge William S. Kenyon of lovvm
former member of the United States
senate. Unfortunately, these iadi
have given the impression that
they are dictating to the

lv fitted for the position. What ah-
Cool igewanted was not some one
to Xy about battleships bu
about the efficient administration of
the oil reserves of the country.
' Judge Kenyon, however, has spent
his life in the legal profession. He
was an assistant at t° r -ney B c ' ne ‘
under the Taft administration It
was natural for him to wish to re
main on the bench rather than take
the. navy portfolio.
While the president may not like
gome of the tactics of those who are
"pressing for Mr. Kenyon's appoint
ment, he can not fail to note that
the demand is a significant show or
strength and that to disappoint the
radicals, and particularly the farm
bloc over which Kenyon presided
when he was in the senate, would
be a severe blow. Indeed, it might
be the indirect cause of a nomina
tion of Kenyon to the presidency if
Senator La Follette should happen
to be too ill to run.
Talked for Vice Presidency
Some of the friends of President
. Coolidge, recognizing Mr. Kenyon's
remarkable strength in the west, a
strength due to his conscientious ap
plication to duty while in the sen
ate, are talking of him for the vice
presidential nomination. In fact, it
would be most pleasing to Mr. Cool
idge to have Kenyon as a running
mate.
Would the Coolidge administration
be in a better position to draft. Ken
yon for the vice presidency after he
lias served for a few months as at
torney general? This is one of the
questions being discussed in the in
ner circle. Certainly the same rea
soning which prompted Mr. Coolidge
to offer the secretaryship of the
'i navy to Judge Kenyon is being ap
tLplied now —for he carries convic
' tion in the west. And Mr. Coolidge's
principal attack has come from the
west. It is the battleground of the
next campaign. At the moment
Judge Kenyon's candidacy for the
.portfolio of attorney general has
awakened the interest of so many
members of the United States sen
ate who have written to the presi
dent. or communicated their thoughts
to his advisers that until some one
else with exactly his qualifications
can be found who will satisfy both
wings of the Republican party, the
chances are still in favor of the ap
pointment of the former senator
from lowa.

ments during the coming fiscal year.
An attempt was made just before
the bill was passe'd to have an
amendment adopted to reduce the
size of the army from 125,000
100,000 enlisted men. An amend
ment by Representative Black, Dem
ocrat, Texas, providing for such a |
reduction, was rejected, 189 to 33. <
Last minute efforts to eliminate '
an amendment adopted yesterday to
make $50,000 available for the con
struction of a road between Shiloh

the Corinth (Miss.) National cenie-|
teijy, failed. A roll call on the

vides for maintenance for another
year of the regular army at its pres
ent authorized strength of 12,000 of
ficers and 125,000 enlisted men.

reopening for recruiting of boys 18
years of age. An amendment, how
ever, was adopted to enable parents
or guardians to obtain the release
of a recruit between the ages of 18
and 21 if they can show he enlisted
without their written consent.
Another amendment specifies that

HIRAM JOHNSON FIRES
NEW SHOT AT COOLIDGE
CHICAGO, March 31. —Senator
Hiram Johnson, of California, fresh
from the scene of his primary vic
tory over President Coolidge in
South Dakota, last night unleashed
another of his verbal blasts against
the administration, attacking the
reasons given by the president’s
friends for the dismissal of Attorney
General Daugherty, and renewing
bis charge of lavish expenditures by
the Coolidge campaign managers in
South Dakota.
“The manner of the dismissal of
Daugherty demonstrates that the ad
ministration is actuated in the pres
ent crisis not by a desire to clean up
the nasty mess disclosed at Wash
ington, but wholly by political ex
pediency,” was the parting shot of
the California senator as he left for
a tour of Michigan.
Presidential preferences will be ex
pressed by more than two million
voters next week—in Michigan April
< and Illinois and Nebraska on the
following day. Senator Johnson and
the president are entered in all.

DAUGHERTY PROBE
TO BE COMPLETED,
COMMITTEE RULES
WASHINGTON, March 31.—The
senate Daugherty investigating com
mittee decided today to continue its
inquiry despite Mr. Daugherty’s re
tirement to private life.
At the same time committee mem
bers announced they intended to hold
Gaston B. Means, former department
of justice investigator, in attendance
under a senate subpoena, in spite of
the issuance today of a bench war
rant by the federal court at New
York ordering Means returned there
to answer charges of conspiracy.
The committee's immediate objec
tive when it resumes hearings to
morrow, will be to clear up the facts
as to the department, of justice's pros
ecution of war frauds and anti-trust
cases.
When news was received of Judge
Garvin’s order in New York for
Means’ arrest, the committee took up
the subject in executive session.
“This is an apparent attempt on
the part of H. C. Todd, the special
assistant to the attorney general, in
Charge of Means’ prosecution, to
block this investigation,” said Sena
tor Wheeler, the committee prose
cutor. “It is the committee's purpose
to keep Means here as a witness, and
to retain his services for the com
mittee. Os course, that prosecution
at New York could be conducted at
any time.”
Means testified early in the com
mittee’s procedure, telling of money
payments made to e.lss Smith in con
nection with pending oases.
A decision on the motion before
the committee to have Mai S. Daugh
erty, brother of the former attorney
general, cited to the senate for con
tempt, was postponed.
WHEELER POINTS VINDICATION
AT POLLS IN MONTANA
WASHINGTON, March 31.—Sena
tor Wheeler,' Democrat. Monanta,
"prosecutor” in the Daugherty inves
tigation, yesterday answered charges
made against him by the Republican
national committee news bureau by
saying that the people of Montana
“repudiated these stories and ths
authors of them by a majority of
more than 20,000 at the last elec
tion.”
The statement of the Montana sen
ator was brought out by a detailed
attack on him issued last week by
the News Bureau under the caption
of “what everybody should know
about Senator Wheeler and his Mon
tana gang.” The attack was to the
effect .that while Senator Wheeler
was United States attorney for Mon
tana, “the state became the hot bed
of treason and sedition, the leaders
in the treasonable and seditious
movement being friends of Wheel
er’s,” and that lie refused to inter
fere.
“Everybody knows.” said Senator
Wheeler's statement, “what the story
was put cut for. and everybody in
Montana knows that the charges are
absolutely false. The people of Mon
tana repudiated these stories and the
authors of them by a majority of
more than 20,000 votes at the last
ection.”
Persons convicted under bis re
gime as district attorney, “including
two ex-attorneys general of the state
charged with tampering with a jury,”
and their friends, the statement con
tinued, sought to accuse him “when
the war hysteria was at its height,
with a neglect of duty.” A “com
plete refutation” of the charges, he
said, was made by Federal Judge
Bourquin, of the Montana district, in
a letter dated November 2, 1922.
“I regret to hear there is a revival
of the unfounded charges that while
United States attorney you refused
to prosecute persons guilty of sedi
tion,” Judge Bourquin’s letter, as
given by Senator Wheeler read. “The
truth is, evidenced by the records of
this court, you prosecuted many
charged with that offense, most of
whom with no reproach to you were
not indicted by the grand jury or
were found not guilty either by di
rection of the court or the will of
the trial jury. The times were fa
vorable to loose, unfounded, and triv
ial charges of that character. . . .
“A competent prosecutor always
will refuse to conduct such prosecu
tions. refuse to persecute, and so far
as you did so, it was with the sanc
tion, appeal and suggestion of the
court, in furtherance of sound pub
lic policy, and in vindication of your
official oath and duty to yourself,
to the court, and to society.”
Judge Bourquin said he made his
statement “with no object but sim
ple justice to an honest, able and dili
gent prosecutor in a most trying
period of our country’s history.’’

BOONEVILLE, Ark., March 31.
A three-year-old child -was killed, six
members of the McCarson and Van
Allen families are dying and two of
their kinsmen are in a serious con
dition after an outbreak of a bitter
sued in Lick Creek Valley, near here,
late yesterday. The McCarsons, fir
ing from their farmhouse, and the,
Van Allens, barricaded behind a
wagon on the roadway, maintained a
hot fire until the last man of both
factions lay wounded.
The difficulty arose over a trivial
matter. Sam McCarson, 12, and Ruby
Van Allen, 13, quarreled early in the
day at a schoolhouse in the valley,
after -Ruby had called Sam's elder
sister “bad names.”
Later, as the Van Allen family

a shotgun. The Van Allens replied
immediately.

SENATE COMMITTEE
MOONS FURTHER
PRUBEOF MELLON
WASHINGTON, March 31.—Faced
with a determined opposition from
th’o Republican organization, and
lacking united support among the
Democrats, the resolution to inves
tigate Secretary Mellon was laid
aside indefinitely today by the senate.
After two hours of debate and
many conferences among the Demo
cratic leaders the proposal was per
mitted by its author, Senator Me-
Kellar, De.micrat, Tennessee, to go
to the senate calendar. From that
preliminary status it will be diffi
cult to again bring it before, the
senate for action, and smoe senators
believe no serious effort ever will
be made t odo so.
Many administration officials saw
in the day’s developments a signifi
cant turn in the situation on capitol
hill. Unlike the resolutions dealing
with Secretary Denby and Attorney
General Daugherty, the Mellon reso
lution evoked immediate nad appa
rently united opposition from the
regular Republicans.
The Democrats, who have been
credited in cloak-room gossip with a
desire to put through a definite pro
gram of attack against one cabinet
official after another, did not join
extensively in the debate but pu s
their heads together at a number of
conferences over the question of
keeping the measure ahead of press
ing legislation.
It was manifest, too, during the
debate that interest was lagging,
and toward the close the chamber
was almost empty.
Robinson Returns
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, re
i turning to Washington after an ab
sence of several days, immediately
disclaimed responsibility for the
move to have the treasury secre
tary’s business connections inquired
into, initiated last Friday by Sena
tor McKella/.- Democrat, Tennessee.
There plainly was a difference of
opinion among the Democrats as to
the expediency of keeping the Me-
Kellar resolution ahead of pressing
legislation as a subject of senate dis
cussion. Senator Robinson, who
said the resolution had been intro
duced without his knowledge, quick
ly canvassed sentiment on the Dem
ocratic side, while Senator Reed, Re
publican, Pennsylvania, -was tellirtg
the senate that Mr. Mellon had as
sumed office after he had been as
sured by legal authorities that there
was no barrier.

Three More Are Shot
PHILADELPHIA. March 31.— Tan
year old Pasqual Palonli’a alleged
theft of an orange from a peddler’s
cart yesterday, is held responsible
for the death of two men and the
wounding of two others and a wom
an. Masso Vililo, peddler, died of
bullet wounds soon after the pistol
fight that followed Pasqual’s alleged
theft, destine Gentile, one of three
other partiepants in the quarrel, died
tonight. The other two, both slight
ly wounded, were arrested and charff*
ed with murder. A woman shopped
was shot in the leg.
Vililo, the police say, gave the
boy a severe beating when he 'found
an orange missing and suspected
Pasqual as the thief. The boy’s
father took Vililo to task. Gentile
ran to the aid of Vililo and Samuel
Graves to that of the elder Palonli.
