DAUGHERTY DEFIES
PROBE GOMMinEE;
RECALLS COUNSEL
ironic Letter Says Hearing
Isn’t Impartial and
Refuses His Aid
WASHINGTON, June 4.—Former
Attorney General Daugherty today
notified the senate committee, which
has had his official conduct under
investigation for nearly four monts,
that he would neither testify as a
witness nor be represented further
by counsel in its proceedings.
The committee had asked the for
mer attorney general to take the
witness stand on Friday, as the last
witness before a preliminary report
is submitted to the senate. No for
mal subpoena had been issued foe
him, however, and committee mem
bers have indicated that they would
take no steps to compel his appear
ance.
Haul Howland, attorney for Mr.
Daugherty, read the committee a
statement by His client declaring
“certain members of the committee’’
had made a desperate attempt to
“blacken” his reputation, and deny
ing that he had “profited in any
illegal, corrupt, or unethical way”
from his tenure of office.
Mr. Daugherty’s statement also de
clared the federal court in Ohio, in
the litigation between the committee
and M. S. Daugherty, had held the
committee to be enaged in “an illegal
proceeding.” He therefore gave notice
that his lawyer would “withdraw.”
Chairman Brookhart declared the
statement was a "reflection” on the
committee, and said that he intended
to reply before letting matters go
further.
“We have proved the existence
of a criminal conspiracy in Mr.
Daugherty’s household,” Senator
Brcokhart said. “We have proved
that the tax returns of Mr. Daugh
erty when he took office showed
he had no money, but that before
he left office he had $75,000 on de
posit in his brother’s bank.”
The chairman added that under
the circumstances he would ask the
committee to proceed with its plan
of making a partial report, and
then adjourn “for some time.” It is
n part of the plan to resume ses
sions, however, at some date late in
the summer.
Chairman Brookhart also referred
to the indictment of Senator Wheel
er, the committee prosecutor, as a
“frame-up,” and said Daugherty had
nought to attack others instead of
defending himself.
Senator Moses, Republican, New
Hampshire, sai<j he wanted to ex
press “some dissent” from the
chairman, and Mr. Howland, with
George E. Chamberlain, his asso
ciate, then left the committee room.
Daugherty’s Statement
Former Attorney General Daugh
erty’s statement to the senate
Daugherty committee follows:
“I beg to acknowledge through
mv counsel, your verbal suggestion
of the 31st ult., that. I appear before
your committee on Friday, June 6th.
This is the first intimation I have
had from your committee that J
was to be accorded the privilege of
a hearing, ttnd up, to this time, of
course, have had no opportunity of
calling witnesses on my behalf or
on behalf of the department of jus
tice. Before definitely replying to
your suggestion that I appear before
your committee, I wish to call your
attention to certain matters which
seem to me to be pertinent at this
"time.
“1. The great volume of business
of the department of justice, so di
versified that it vitally touches ev
ery branch of the government, is of
necessity handled in detail by the
various assistant attorneys general
and special assistants to the attor
ney general, but under the general
.direction and supervision of the at-
I torney general himself. In order to
arrive at a correct judgment regard
ing any particular case, it is abso
lutely necessary to call said as
sistants who have had that case in
charge, and who, having access to
the files of the department, can
fully and accurately advise the com
mittee in every detail in connection
therewith. It would be absolutely
necessary for me or any attorney
general to refer to the assistants
and the files before I could, with
any degree of satisfaction, attempt
to make a statement before your
committee. That being true, such as
sistants and others having the ac
tive charge of cases and fully ad
vised with reference to all details
■ and executive work under inquiry
Bumd who have full access to and the
, use of records and files pertaining
thereto, and are familiar with every
phase of such cases, should have
been called before your committee
prior to my appearance. The adop
tion of such a course would, in al
probability eliminate the necessity of
my appearance in connection with
the investigation of my official du
ties, by reason of the fact that fu.i
and accurate information would be
in the possession of "he committee
as a result of calling the assistants
in active charge of litigation. The
calling of those witnesses at the
commencement of the inquiry would
have enabled the committee to bring
this inquiry to an end at an earlier
date, at least insofar as it concern
ed my official conduct as attorney
general. , ,
“2. Since the commencement ot
vou~r inquiry, that is to say, on the
12th day of March last, I have hoped
to be asked to appear before your
committee, and have been somewhat
surprised that I was not asked to
appear at an earlier period in your
proceedings, as I was under the im
pression that the investigation
would be confined to my official ac
tions as attorney general of the
United States and matters directly
relating thereto. The fact that your
committee has not, up tn the pres
ent time, called a single witness
suggested by mo. and has sought
for ~ evidence from unexpected
sources and generally from persons
m situated that under ordinary cir
cumstances very little credence
would be given their testimony, has
from the beginning caused me to
feel that there was a feeling of an
tagonism entertained toward me by
certain members of your committee,
and that these members of your
committee, -nstoad of prosecuting a
fair and Impartial inquiry into my
official conduct as attorney general
cf the United States, have made a

desperate attempt to blacken my
reputation and injure my standing
in the country by the statements of
unreliable witnesses which would not
be admitted in any court of justice.
“I have never been able to under
stand why your investigation was
conducted upon such unusual and
peculiar lines, and with such bitter
personal feeling toward me on the
part of certain members of your com
mittee. Nevertheless, full of con
fidence in. the ability of the depart
ment of justice to demonstrate to the
satisfaction of your committee, or
any other, the fact that its functions
during the time of my administra
tion attained to a high degree of ef
ficiency, I have been ready and anx
ious to assist your committee in ev
ery way within my power to make
public the splendid record of the ac
complishment of the department.
“At this point I take occasion to
contradict and deny any inference,
surmise or suspicion that I profited
in any illegal, corrupt or unethical
way, directly or indirectly, by reason
of any activities of political asso
ciates or friends at any time, or that
my conduct, either official or person
al, was directly or indirectly in
fluenced at any time, in any way,
by venal and corrupt motives. No
witness has appeared before your
committee who has by surmise, in
nuendo,- suspicion or otherwise inti
mated the existence of any such cir
cumstance, except by' way of the
grave, and the silence of the tomb
has forever rendered the direct de
nial of these slanders impossible.
“3. The controversy, which arose
in regard to the power of your com
mittee to issue a subpoena duces
tecum to the officers of the Mid
land National bank, of Washington
Courthouse, Ohio, to produce certain
books and documents, resulted in an
appeal to the courts on the part of
the bank, and a judicial determina
tion of the powers of your commit
tee. A copy ot the opinion of Judge
Cochran, of the federal court for the
southern district of Ohio, was placed
in my hands on Monday evening,
June 2. A careful examination of
this opinion has settled, as it seems
to (me, the course which I must now
adopt in connection with this in
vestigation, and has answered for me
your request that I appear before
your committee on Friday,next.
Judge Cochran holds squarely that
your committee has been and/is now
exercising a power not granted by
the constitution, expressly or by Im- '
plication, and that each and all of
your actions under senate resolution
No. 157 are absolutely void.
“In view of this decision, and in
obedience thereto, it would seem to
me to be a vain thing to continue j
an illegal proceeding and inquiry,
and I must, therefore, decline to ap
pear before your committee. From
the very commencement ot your
hearings, that is, on the twelfth day
of March, last, I have been con
stantly represented by counsel at all
of said hearings, and during all this
time have entertained the hope and
have been encouraged by the prom
ise that ultimately I would have the
privilege of producing witnesses op
my own behalf and on behalf of the
department of justice. The decision
of the court above referred to has
changed the whole situation and ren
dered it unnecessary for me to ap
pear before your connpit tee in per
son or by counsel, and their attend
ance at your hearings will be dis
continued from and after this date.
“For your convenience and for the
purposes of the record, I submit
herewith a true copy of the opinion

M'DOWELI. ADMITS
HE TOLD MOTHER
HE KILLED SISTERS
CLEARWATER, Fla., June 5. —
Frank McDowell, the boy murderer
of his entire family, had a prisoner
in the county jail telephone the rep
resentative of the Associated Press
this morning and request an inter
view. Owing to inability to break in
to jail sooner, the interview was had
at 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
McDowell stated ’.hat he wanted
to arrange for the newspapers to
have all the photographs they
needed, but did not desire to be
bothered after the trial starts next
Monday. He further stated that he
had information that his relatives in
Georgia have refused to provide any
money for the trial and he feels that
very little effort is being made to
bring out his side of the case. He ap
pears to feel very sorry for himself.
He wants a shave and some better
clothes for the trial.
McDowell went into the same old
string of stories be told in the past,
but added something to them. He ad
mitted, for th o first time, that he
had told his mother of being respon
sible for the death of his two sis
ters and the destruction of their
home in Georgia. McDowell stated
that his mother did not feel angry
toward him, as she knew that he
was in no way responsible for his
actions when under “those spells”
which he has every February 19.
McDowell was asked if his father
knew that he killed his sisters, ana
he said he did not tell him, but he
supposed his mother did.
Heretofore, McDowell has strenu
ously denied that he ever told his
parei ts of killing his sisters and fur
ther declared that he did not believe
they knew he did it.
McDowell feels that he will be re
leased if the facts in his case can
be brought out and bemoans the
lack of money to cause increased in
centive for bringing out the facts by
employing alienists to explain, so
the layman can understand, just
what his condition is when he does
his murders.
McDowell thinks he will be ac
quitted of the charge of murder,
for he declares that he is no more re
sponsible for the death of his par
ents and sisters than is some other
person who was not preseht.
The stage is set for the hearing
next Monday.
FLOUTING OF LAW
CHARGED IN NAVAL
OIL LAND LEASES
(Continued from Page 1)
was denounced “as a perfectly out
rageous use of the armed forces of
the United States” resorted to to
“avoid a judicial inquiry into the
validity of the Sinclair lease.”
Discussing the leases as “bar
gains,” the report declared that a
lease under which “the government
receives 6 per cent on the oil in the
ground and the lessee gets 94,” can
not possibly be in the interest of,
or just to, the government.
“Had the leases been awarded
upon competitive bidding,” it said,
“there would have been no occasion
to inquire whether they are or are
not fair or just to the government.
. . . . The omission o invite com
petition casts a suspicion on the
transaction as one in the Interest
of the government. . . .
“Not only was the Teapot Dome
lease awarded to Sinclair without
competition, but he paid a fabulous
price to produce the elimination of
a potential rival.
“One seeking only a fair contract
from the government does not buy
off his competitors; neither does he,
when he secures it ordinarily, sub
mit to blackmail in connection with
it; nor does he, while negotiations
are pending, accommodate the
awarding officer with loans.”
Discussing in more detail the evi
dence relating to Sinclair’s elimina
tion of other claimants from Tea
pot Dome, the report related how
Leo Stack, of Denver, associated
himself with E. L. Doheny in 1920,
in an effort to obtain lease of some
offset wells along the boundary of
the reserve and how Stack later
made an arrangement with the Pio
neer Oil company, which in turn
made a settlement with Sinclair.
Money Hushed Fraud Cries
“Stack then enlisted the interest
of the owners of a newspaper in
Denver, C 01.,” the report continued,
“which immediately upon the execu
tion of the lease began the publi
cation of articles denouncing it as
corrupt and contrary to public
policy .... Suit was started in
the name of Stack against that com
pany (the Pioneer company) and Sin
clair, alleging a conspiracy against
Stack. . . . Sinclair settled this
suit by an agreement under which
he paid $250,000 and agreed to pay
$750,000 more. The attacks of the
newspaper thereupon ceased. The
proprietor of a rival newspaper
upon a claim even more shadowy, ii
indeed it can.be called a claim at all,
got $92,500 out of the Pioneer Oil
company as its share of the moneys
yielded up by Sinclair.”
On the question of the danger of
drainage, the report stated that
among geologists, there was no dif
ference of opinion that drainage was
possible between the Teapot Dome
reserve and the Salt Creek oil fields,
although the extent and seriousness
of the drainage was in dispute.
Drainage to an appreciable and seri
ous extent was occurring upon the
two naval reserves in California, it
was added.
President Harding was criticized
for signing the executive -rder
transferring the leases without hav
ing “documentary support of any
kind” for his action. The department
of justice also was declared to have
failed to “diligently assert and main
tain” the government’s title to sec
tion 36 within the confines of naval
reserve number one, in California,
the report stating that had this been
done and three other sections prop
erly protected the problem of drain--
age upon that reserve would have
Jieen “relatively simple.”

Whisky Making Cut
By Half in Georgia,
Dry Director Reports
“Whisky-making; in Georgia has
fallen off 50 per cent in the last year
and a half,” Prohibition Director Fred
D. Dismuke, said Thursday in giv
ing- out a report of federal prohibition
activities for May.
“A recent statewide investigation
carried on by agents from my office
shows that there are only half as
many stills in operation in Georfia
as there were in the summer of 1922,”
Mr. Dismuke said. “Officers also re
port that the stills being confiscated
now are all of small size, with few
of the large plants which were be
ing operated two years ago.
“Part of this probably is caused by
the fact that the courts, both state
and federal seems to be imposing
longer jai Isentences and heavier fines
upon violators of the prohibition act
than in former years.”
Stills destroyed by federal agents
during May totalled 154.
The value of property destroyed
amounted to $31,823.35. Persons re
ported and recommended for prosecu
tion totalled 125, with 70 persons ar
rested. There were 89 convictions.

LETTER OF HARDING
WINS VICTORY FOR
HENRY L. JOHNSON
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June s.—(By
the Associated Press). —A letter from
the grave suddenly upset the plans
of Republican party managers for
“cleaning up” the long standing fac
tional fight in Georgia, and re
sulted Wednesday in the seating
again of delegates headed by Henry
Lincoln Johnson, the negro national
committeeman from that state, long
a stormy petrel before the national
conventions.
Just as most of the old line party
managers cn the committee had de
cided that Johnson and his dele
gates must go to make place for
those representing the faction for
merly headed by J. L. Philips, which
had been recognized by officials of
th® national committeeman as rep
resenting the regular organization
in the state, a letter was produced
written by President Harding to C.
Bascom Slemp, now secretary to
President Coolidge, saying that in
recognizing the Philips faction a
blunder had been made and suggest
ing that action be taken to alter the
situation.
The Georgia contest, which occu
pied practically all of Wednesday’s
session, was the only enlivening fea
ture of the pre-convention period.
The session was alternately noisy,
bitter, pathetic and funny.

British Official Reveals

power of the death ray” failed to
materialize in recent governmental

the ministry’s experts placed him
self in the path of the ray only ten
yards distant from the point of
emanation. If the inventor’s claim
had been borne out the expert ought

NATION IS WARNED *!
BT ADMIRAL FISKE
OF PACIFIC THREAT
NEW YORK, June 4.—Rear Ad
miral Bradley A.. Fiske, retired, in
a letter to Secretary of the Navy
Wilbur, which he made public last
nKght, called attention to the pres
ent comparative strength of th®
American and Japanese fleets for op
erations in far eastern waters, which
he said was gravely misunderstood
by the public.
“Os course, I do not mean to sug
gest,” the rear admiral said, “that
war is even possible; but neverthe
less it may be pointed out that th®
Japanese and the Americans hav®
taken attitudes that are Irreconcil
able, and that the Japanese have vir
tually broken off diplomatic relations
by giving their ambassador a ‘vaca
tion.’ Such attitudes and such act#
have usually preceded wars, though
they hav® not always been followed
by wars.”
