New York, Nov. 10 (By the Asso-
ciated Press) Georges Clemenceau,
war premier of France, motored to
Oyster Bay today and laid wreath
on the grave Of Theodore Roosevelt.
T. The gray, old Tiger, himself an
apostle of preparedness, spoke no
word as he stood before the grave OF
Americas "wielder of the big stick
But he was visibly moved. His keen
eyes took in every detail of the little
fenced-in- enclosure that has become
a shrine for many Americans.
Then he stood for a moment more
with far away look, deeply immers-
ed in thought. Finally he turned
away and trudged slowly down the
winding path Of Young's cemetery and
motored to Roosevelt's home:
While others of the party rang the
door bell and waited for the door to
he opened, Clemenceau turned abrupt
ly and walked off down the broad We
randa where Roosevelt used to sit to
watch the sail boats on Oyster Bay.
He walked all the way to the rear
Of the house, closely inspecting the
long, low structure, stately, but
at the Biltmore.
Archie Roosevelt, who served AS a
soldier in France, hurried to the We
randa to greet him and conducted rim
into the house, where Mrs. Roosevelt
greeted him. He spent some time in
Roosevelt's famous trophy room. Then
he drove back to the Manhattan resi-
dence of Charles Dana Gibson.
Before he started down Long Is
land, the Tiger visited Herman
Kohlsaat, publisher, intimate friend
Of Mckinley and drafter of the "Fa-
nous gold plank" of 1896, who is i'll
at the Biltmore.
Other events of the day include a
brief meeting with General Pershing
at the Gibson home and visit to the
country estate Of Otto H. Kahn at
Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island.
There Is only one. event on Glenn
enceau's program for tomorrow, re-
ception at which he will meet group
Of newspaper publishers and editors.
What he will do with the rest Of the
day will depend on his own whims.

GOVERNOR BRANDS
CHARGE AS LIE

Oklahoma City, Okla, Nov. 19.--
Branding as "a dastardly and damn
able lie" charges filed in district
court at Okmulgee, Okla, last night
against Gov. j. B. A. Robertson, al.
legnig that he released a murder con-
vict from the state penitentiary "to
kill the county attorney of Okmulgee
county" the chief executive today
said he could not believe public of
fetal would stoop so low as to make
the charge.
The governors statement was
prompted by charges made last night
by James Hepburn, county attorney.
Mr.. Hepburn asked for review of
the change of venue to Ada, Okla,
granted the governor by the district
Judge, L. B. Wright, on Friday in the
case in which the states chief execu-
tive is charged with having accepted
a bribe to allow a defunct Okmulgee
bank to continue in operation. Dis
trict Judge Edwards of Cordell, at
the direction of the state supreme
court, will hear the county attorneys
petition here tomorrow.
while the county attorney of Ok
mulgee county has been actuated
throughout the handling of the
charges against me by the most
vicious and bitter animosity and per-
sonal enmity that have ever char
acteri2ed the course of pub official
in this state" the governor said in
his statement, 81 can not believe that
he has stopped so low as to use the
privilege of his high Office to make
such charge against me-"
Governor Robertson said he had re-
ceived nothing but press reports con-
lerning the petition by the Okmulgee
county attorney and until the charges
were actually placed before him he
found them hard to believe.
II hesitate to believe that such &C.
tiohs and charges are embodied in the
notion said the governor in his
statement. "If motion contains an
allegation that. L paroled prisoner

taulgee county it could have no ef-
feet UPON the proceedings involving

CHINESE OFFICIAL
BEHIND THE BARS

Peking, Nov. 10 (By the Associat-
ed Press).--Lo Weng- Kan, minister
Of finance, was arrested today on q
warrant issued at the request of Pres
ident Ii Yuan-Hung, charged with
receiving commission for the pro-
posed fiotation of loan of e, 900 900
pounds sterling by group of Ger
man and Austrian financiers prior tc
to the World war.
Premier Wang Chun-Hui and For
eign Minister Wellington Koo both
went to police headquarters and Of
fered their personal guarantees for
the accused finance minister's appear
ance when needed, but these were re-
fused and Lo Weng- Kan was held be
hind bers.
President Ii Yuan-Hung is said to
have telpehoned the police to come
md get the warrant for Los arrest.
Hwang Ti-Lien, director of the treas
ury department, who was with Lo
Weng-Kan when the latter was ar
,'ested, also was taken to police head
quarters, but whether he is actually
under arrest is not definitely known.
The president, it was said, was in
duced to procure Los arrest by WI
Ching -Liang, speaker Of the house Of
representatives, and Chang Po-Lieh,
vice speaker, who produced docu-
;ents, some of them alleged to have
been forged, purporting to implicate
o as part to the receipt of 100000
pounds sterling in connection with
he loan flotation.
1t is alleged the loan was to have
,ecn put through the, Sino-Italian
bank. After the outbreak Of the
World war, China is reported to have
;cmnrded cancellation of contract
Tor the purchase of a steamship,
which was an adjunct of the loan
proposal. Out of the subsequent ne
yotiations there grew the final con-
tract for loan Of 100000 pounds
sterling. ~ bs,
Speaker WI is said to have obtain
ID copy of a receipt, bearing 10
Weng- Kan's signature, for the COM
mission on the loan, together with a
copy of the contract. The latter, 1t is
claimed, carries the seal of the fin
ance ministry and those Of the cab
met, all Of which, it is charged, are
forged. ,a,{ Il. !:

WOULD IMPEACH
ATTORNEY GENERAL

ihSue tiiaI tney Intended TO vigorous
ly pres impeachment proceedings
against the attorney general" was
made in joint statement today by
Representative KeKller (Republican)
OF Minnesota. who presented the
original impeachment charges to the
house, and Representative Woodruff
Republican) of Michigan.
"We will not be deferred from our
insistence that the judiciary commit
tee act upon the resolution to enable
the impeachment of Mr.. Daugherty
to proceed to trial before the SEN
ate." said the statmeent. 1--WE de.
mand that the judiciary committee
hear the evidence against Daugherty
or state openly that it refuses to let
the country know how he has con-
Quoted himself in office"
At the time the Keller charges were
considered by the judiciary commit
tee, prior to the present recess, it was
decided to postpone the formal hear
ing demanded by Mr.. Keller until
early in the regular session next
month.
"The election results demonstrate"
said the statement, chat the people
are determined that graf and cor
ruption shall be eliminated from the
federal government. The fitness of
Mr.. Daugherty to hold Office was one
of the main issues of the campaign in
many states. This issue was empha-
sized by speeches and the platforms
op successful candidates for both
houses of congress and wherever
Daughertyism was AN issue, those
candidates were elected regardless OF
their party affiliations. By their
votes the people have demanded that
the office of attorney general of the
United States be filled by a man of
unquestioned integrity"
Action on the impeachment charges
against him Should be disposed of as
promptly as possible, both in justice
to the government and to me as at
