DANIELS NOT AFRAID
 OF IMPEACHMENT

Washington, February 1.-(Special) Josephus Daniels. Secretary of the Navy is not fearful that he will be impeached at suggestion of Representative Mann of Illinois, republican House leader, whom the Chicago packers fed on choice beef steaks and to whom the same gentlemen gave horse.
 The secretary has intimated as much to newspaper correspondents. While Daniels is not distressed, Mann has stirred up a hornets nest. He contends, and there is no dispute, that MT Daniels bought the Marconi wireless properties despite the refusal of Congress, having been asked to give authority for such purpose.
 Secretary Daniels replies that he acted on advice of the legal division of the department of which he is at the head that he believed himself right when he acted and still so believes.
 There is the situation. Mann says he should be impeached, and adds that it is not at all certain that he will not be.
 The House, having heard Mann, struck from the urgent deficiency bill an item of S4,5O00 900 with which Daniels would have made additional payments to the Marconi interests. Chairman Sherley Of the appropriations committee, did not ob- ject.
 The navy has contingency fund of $20, 000,000 out of which the secretary may take the additional payments if he sees fit.

 In addition to the regula tions cancelled by the proclamation all remaining spe- ciai regula tions governing manufacturers and distributors of butter were repealed
 In making its announcement the food administration warned dealers that the provisions of the food control act, pro- k;biting profiteering and unfair practices would be rigidly enforced.
 This action by the President virtually brings to an end the activities of the food administration except for the con- tir ued control of the excepted commodi- ties, which, officials explained, Is neces- sary either because of contractural ob- liga tions of the government or because of determination to maintain stabilized prices It was predicted by these of ficlals that most remaining functions would cease before March l.

BLACKMON OPPOSED
 GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

Washington, February 1.-(SpeciaL) ) The minutes of the postoffice committee of the House, available for the first time today, show that it was at the in- stance of an Alabamian that Postmaster General Burleson was thwarted in his eff fort to bring about government own ership of the telephone and telegraph lines of the United States.
 MT Burlesons resolution provided for the entertainment of the value of the properties with view to their purchase. MT Blackmon of the Fourth Alabama dis trict, in committee. moved that the pur- chase clause be stricken. It was stick en. Some other member then moved that the ascertainment of value" clause be stricken. That also was stricken
 The republicans then united to- secure for the owners of the properties the re- turn of the properties December 20. Sew eral democrats joined them, and their plan was successful MT. Blackmon op- posed them on the theory that the gov ernment should be given right of control for longer period. In thls he supported the ardent desire of the postmaster-ge gen. eral.

FIGHT IN PROSPECT ' ON SHELTON WILLIAMS

Washington, February 1.-(Special) The President has accepted the challenge of republicans and certain disgruntled bankers. He has nominated John Ekelton Williams for another term as comptrol- Ter of the currency.
 Bankers, disgruntled as a result of con flicts with Williams, will fight his re- appointment. As published in The Age Herald, they have already started the campaign-one of publicity. They have employed Norborne Robinson, Washing ton correspondent of the Buffalo Evening News, to fight their battle and they will pay him $250 per week.
 The republicans have another motive. If Williams is confirmed he will serve for five years. Should he be reappointed. and a republican President be chosen, his service would overlap the republican ad- ministration.
 This the republicans could not tolerate. they declare. So they will fight Williams. The chances are that Williams will not be confirmed before March 4 The Pres- dent. as result, with the situation star ing him in the face, may again accept the gage of battle by sending in Williams name a second time or he may designate another man.
 With republicans in control after March I, Williams vii have rough sledding, it is strongly indicated.

 Daniels Does Not Fear Impeachment
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

4 Washington, February 1.-(Special)-The Hest political story of the present con ! fns the plan of prohibition politicians Hl Jyesterville. O., to capture the re- tthlican party to the end that they migh; sTct a President, and secure the ap- H.Etment of prohibitionists ot the courts

 There is no question but that the story, st far as the plans go, is true. The Ohio lgSiticians, having adherents in all states, stluding Alabama. have centered their Election on Simeon D. Fess, member 'Y Congress and chairman of the re-
 kblican congressional committee. It is
 4ss who waves the bloody shirt and gEnts at the south whenever election

 According to this story the Ohio repub ksAan delegation will openly support Sem pr Harding, referred to as stalking
 \ Irse. At the proper time the delegation lkl leave Harding in the lurch and SUD- It Fess. For Harding, though the Ebngest Ohio republican, is an anti laShibitionist, whereas Fess is a prohi- Zionist, and in other respects an ideal- I,khe activity of the Westerville politi-

Two presidential possi- AEties, Lodge of Massachusetts, "old ,tne stand-patter," and Johnson of Cali kAnia, Roosevelt progressive" have \ enly and possibly for selfish purposes, PEfered. Lodge insists that 1t is the duty Cl the United States to aid in polio i(g Europe; Johnson that it is the duty

MANY TELEGRAMS ON
 CONTROL OF WIRES

Washington. February 1.-(Special) All Alabama, judging from the number of telegrams received by members of the delegation today. insists that there be no government ownership of telephone and telegraph companies, but that control be extended for an unnamed, period
 The <telegrams are identical and as they come from widely scattered commu- mites, it is evident that behind them all is some directing genius.
 The Senate committee has not acted on Postmaster Burleson's bill providing for the purchase of the properties. The House committee. however, has stricken from the bill the ownership provision, and given the Postmaster General time limit of control. no more extensive than De- cember 30, this year.
 MT. Burleson, if not given authority to purchase, would control for two addi- tional years or more. As to whether he is behind the propaganda, which is not confined to Alabama. but is nation wide Is unknown
