HEALY WILL
HEADIRIS
FREESTATE
"Tim" Well Known in Parlia'
ment for His ''Sharp'
Tongue
(By the Associated Press }


London, Dec. 4.--The appointment
! of T i'm othy Healy as the first gov
crno1 general of the Irish free state
is now regarded as certainty. 1t is
understood the post was offered him
some time ago and that its final al
lotment to the veteran champion Of
Irish autonomy depends only upon
his acceptance.
| That acceptance, according to sew
eral of the best informed cores
pondents in Dublin, has been given
and the concensus of opinion today
was that the announcement "the
King has been pleased to appoint"
; will Immediately follow the declar-
: alton of his majesty's assent to the
Irish bill, which will pass its third
and final reading in the house of
lords tonight.
The appointment 'of Healy is re-
garded sympathetically here. "Tim's'
sharp tongue, with which in the past
he some times goaded his opponents
in the house of commons, has been
forgotten by the present generation
and although it was recalled today
by parliamentary writer's, these me-
mories were brought up, without bit
terness and stress was laid rather
upon Mr.. Healy's unquestioned clev.
erness and 38 years of experience
with parliamentary life as fitting
him for the new post. 1t is believed
that a majority of his own country
men will welcome him.
Members of the Irish government
are reported as unanimously sup
porting the appointment. 1t is stated
also that the Irish cabinet is already
considerably indebted to Mr.. Healy
for practical advice in the technical
details of parliamentary conduct.

Keller Charges, He Declares,
Are Backed by Grafters
And Radicals
Attorney General Character
ICES Movement as Part of
Scheme to Aid Suspects
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 4.-Formal re-
ply to the charges filed against him
with the house judiciary committee
by Representative Keller, Republican
Of Minnesota, had been prepared by
Attorney General Daugherty for pre-
sentation to the committee when it
met today to consider the Keller
resolution demanding the Attorney
Generals impeachment. Answering
categorically the fourteen specifics
tions submitted in the Keller char
ges, Mr.. Daugherty's reply as sum-
married in department of justice
statement published today, declared,
in reference particularly to Mr..
Keller's demand for access to de-
partment documents that it showed
to be arrayed behind the move for
his impeachment certain radical
leaders seeking to serve notice up
on every future Attorney General
that if he dares enforee the laws of
the United States against such or
ganizations, he does 50 under the
penalty" Of attempted impeachment.
Joined in the move with these, he
asserted were "the profiteers, the
grafters, the so-called war defraud-
ers." who sought "by unconscionable
and unscrupulous means" to gain
knowledge of "what these charged
with BRING them to justice have se-
cured as the result Of the most pain
stalking, faithful and earnest efforts
possible" on the part Of the Attor-
ney General and those associated
with him. EY''as ea-. r--.y., '~
Representative Keller, Republican,
Minnesota, told the house judiciary
committee today he would not be
ready to present evidence in support
of his demand for impeachment Of
Attorney General Daugherty until
the committee obtained from the
house power to summon and swear
witnesses.
Wherever consistent with protec-
ton of the governments interests
and those of individuals who have
reposed confidence in it, Mr.. Daugh-
erty said, the department Of justice
stands ready to meet Mr.. Keller's
demand for access to documents. To
do so in "certain important matters
now in preparation for presentation
to the proper tribunals" he said
would be "highly injurious to the
interests of the people"
Washington, Dec. 4.-Without dis
cussion the house today adopted
resolution authorizing the judiciary
committee to send for persons and
papers in its investigation of i'm
parchment charges against Attorney
General Daugherty filed by Repre-
sentative Keller, Republican Of Min
