Commenting on his previous plea to
Y, s. Webb, State Attorney General that
Mooney be retired, Judge Griffin said In
the letter:
II believed then that simple Justice
and fair play demanded such action, and
from that position l have never for a
moment receded. On the contrary, that
stand has been by later developments
greatly strengthened"
Judge Griffin characterized as open to
attack the testimony of Frank c. OK
man. Durkee, Oregon cattle man; Mrs.
Nellie Edeau and her daughter Sadie
and John Mcdonald.
The situation Of Mooney is that he
stands condemned TO death upon evidence

doubt" the letter said

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Some pro-
gress toward keeping closed the threat
ened gap in the Republican ranks In
the Senate was believed to have been
accomplished to-day through series Of
conferences here between Chairman
Hays Of the Republican National Com
mittee and number OF Republican
Senators.
Mr.. Hays insisted he did not come to
Washington to attempt to dictate to any
faction of the Republican party what it
should do. His visit. he said, was mere
" to assume the role of an interested
listener In this role Mr.. Hays had
ample opportunity to hear both sides OF
the question to-day. although he failed
to see Senator Borah Udaho), who has
assumed the position of leader In the
contention against retention OF the
seniority rule. This Is in effect n fight
against making Senator Penrose (Pa) ,
the next chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee He called on Senator Borah
but the Senator had gone home.
There is growing confidence among
Republican Senators that the smoothing
out OF The difficulties between the fac
ton led by Senator Bo-ah and the other
Republicans of the Senate will be COM
pletely realized before it is necessary
to organize the Senate under Republican
control. An effort is being made 10
prevail on Senator Penrose to accept the
craftsmanship OF the Senate Naval Com
m!ttee and retain his membership on the
Finance Committee, but not become its
chairman.
At this time Senator Penrose Is OPP
posed to the plan, as he has set his heart
on heading the Finance Committee 1t
has been pointed out to him delicately
that there is certain to be n Republican
tariff law drawn up by the next Con-
gress and that II 1t were called the Pen
rose act it would arouse resentment in
the West.
Senator Penrose and those who op-
pose him as the head of the Finance
Committee both realize. 1t was pointed
out to-day. that II the fight inside the
party is revived TO the extent of be-
coming an open split II will give the
control of the next Senate to the Demo-
Gratis. The belief is growing stronger
each day that neither Senator Borah
and his following nor Senator Penrose
and those supporting him will take any
action Mt any time before Republican
organization of the Senate which would
permit Democratic control.
