WARRINGTON, Feb. 3.--Senator Fall
Of New Mexico. who returned to his seat
in the Senate to-day after having ac-
companied President-elect Harding on
part Of his Florida vacation trip. said
1t was his judgment that Mr.. Harding
had not decided definitely upon the per-
sonnel of his Cabinet. The Senator
thought Charles Z. Hughes would be
selected Secretary of State and that
Harry M. Daugherty, Mr.. Harding's
pre-convention campaign manager,
would be In the Cabinet.
Senator Fall evaded any reference to
reports that he would be appointed as
Secretary Of the Interior, but his friends
indicated their belief that the Senator
would be named for that portfolio.
There was very little serious discus
sion Of any kind with the President
elect" Senator Fall said, referring to
the Florida trip. 'T did discuss the
Mexican question but not to any de-
tail"
Numerous conferences were held to-
day between Senators and Mr.. Daugh-
erty, who accompanied Senator Fall to
the Capitol Senators Lodge and Knox
were among those who talked to Mr..
Daugherty.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. c., Feb. 3.
With liberal use Of emphatic cuss
words, Charles G.. Dawes of Chicago,
until recently possible Secretary of
the Treasury in the Harding Cabinet,
to-day resumed his denunciation Of
the work OF Congressional committees
investigating the conduct of the war.
Even more remarkable than the
language he employed was the fact
that Mr.. Dawes made his denuncia-
tions before one of the war investigat-
ing committees. Unhesitatingly he
jumped on members Of Congress for
what he called an attempt to gain par
tisan advantages by criticising the
conduct Of the war. Then he directed
his remarkable flow of English at the
rows in the Army or Navy as to whom
medals should be given, and wound up
his testimony by another attack on
the present ''decentralized, bureau
cratic, inefficient and costly system Of
government"
Mr.. Dawes told the committee the
country was sick and tired of COM
mittees Of Congress throwing mud at
the work Of the Army and telling how
the war should be won. He admitted
that large expenditures were made
abroad but said the war had to be
won.
Apologies to Women.
During his testimony Mr.. Dawes
puffed necessarily on cigar. He paced
up and down as he told the members OF
Congress what he thought of them. Sew
eral women were present and occasion
ally he would turn and apologize for an
unusually emphatic" remark. The
women. however, remained throughout
the testimony.
'Tf you men," he said to the commit
tee. would spend just one-auarter of the
time trying TO see the waste that goes
on by the hundreds of millions right
here under your noses instead or trying
to put flyspecks on our war record you
would be. doing a much bigger public
service and we would have a hell OF
lot better government.
Hell and Mariar!" he continued, as
he pounded a table, 1--WE were fighting a
war. We did not have time for duplicate
vouchers and double entry bookkeeping.
Il is a hell-fired shame for everybody
to be trying to pick flyspecks on the
greatest army the world ever saw. We
did more organization. despite our un-
preparedness, than the French and the
British.
"But the war Is over now and the peo-
pie would rather see Fatty Arbuckle than
talk about flyspeck mistakes. unless
there is some scandal to be dug UP. Why
He'll and Mariar, II I wasn't strutting UP
and down and cussing before this COM
mittee no attention would be paid to 1t. "
Then Mr.. Dawes sputtered out state
ment that made the committee gasp In
amazement.
Put Fatty Arhuckle. Douglas Fair
banks and Mary Pickford down In the
park performing and this whole commit
tee would leave US alone and be down
there"
No member Of the committee saw I'll
to reply.

PALM BEACH. Feb. s.-The assertion

forecast Of President Harding's Cabinet.
Until q few days ago, when intiIna-

the next Secretary of the Treasury. II
Is true that Mr.. Harding at no time COM

urging Mr.. Dawes's appointment to-
gether with his admitted qualifications.
justified the statement that he was first
in line for the place.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.--Estimated
profits Of twenty-one mining companies
operating In the Pocahontas coal fields
of West Virginia, some Of which were
as high as 200 per cent. on investment
during 1920, were placed to-day before
the Senate committee considering the
Calder coal regulation bill.
The corporation names involved were
not made public after an animated de-
bate, during which J. D. A Morrow,
vice-president of the National Coal As
sociation. said this would violate an
understanding" reached with Senate in
vestigators who procured the accounts.
Chairman Calder of the investigating
committee, which drafted the bill. de-
MED that any such understanding" had
existed.
Senator La Toilette, as chairman Of
the committee considering the bill, final
ly ruled that the companies would be
| allowed to maintain secrecy as to costs
and profits for business reasons, and
David l.. Wing, Federal Trade Commits
sion statistician, was instructed to use
numbers to designate the corporations

| One corporation in the list, on total

Another corporation with an invest

mated at, 80 per cent. It's production
was 10000 tons. Z

In Partisan Politics.

Now let ne criticise your committee
for while This is an attempt to bring
partisan politics into a purely American
enterprise. Criticism is easy. What
the hell do you suppose we went to war
for? Wo went to France to win a war

right In France. Instead of helping the
world out of trouble they were playing
politics: they were throwing mud"
