WASHINGTON, June 3.-Republ-
cans at both ends of Pennsylvania ave
nue. are breathing easier today as a re-
suit of the vote in the rules committee of
the house of representatives whereby the
resolution to investigate Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty's record in prosecuting
war frauds was dropped.
The truth is the Republicans embar-
raised themselves 1t was by a narrow
margin that the resolution to investigate
a member of the Harding cabinet was
reported favorably and it was by the
vote of Chairman Phil Campbell of Kan
sas. Republican, that the measure car
ried in committee. This was tantamount
to Il vote of lack of confidence in a menu
Der of the presidents official family for
it is most unusual for the party i'll power
to investigate the record of one of its
own number in the executive branch of
the government.
For three weeks there have been some
hectic discussions in the inner circle of
the administration and Mr.. Campbell'S
vote has been a constant subject of crit
icism. Even the Democrats who are not
particularly concerned with the proper
conduct of Republican politics have
called Mr.. CampbelFs action a political
blunder." They were even more amazed.
however. to see Mr.. Campbell suddenly
reverse himself and vote to squelch the
resolution. The reasons he gave for his
change provoked the general debate and
not the actual vote, for the Democrats
are not a bit anxious to see the investi-

Blame Woodruff and Johnson.
When Mr. Campbell claimed that he
was dropping the resolution to investi-
gate the attorney generals record because
he believed the attacks were inspired by
the Democrats, Representative Garrett

not help point out that two Republicans
Representatives Woodruff and johnson,
started the whole hullabalOo about Mr..
Daugherty's alleged failure to prosecute
war eases and that they were still the
ones who We're loudly clamOring for the
investigation. .t--
The Democrats say they do not want
to be in the position of opposing an in
yeStigation of a Republican attorney gem
eral. nor do they want to egg on any
movement which means of course inves-
tigation of Democratic officials who were
invested with responsibility for the grant
of contracts during the war. The de-
mand for investigation comes from
within the Republican party and there
is every reason to believe that Messrs
Woodruff and johnson will not be salts
fled to let the matter rest in it's present
status. They-will keep after the depart
ment of Justice and keep a check on its
progress with the war cases. '
Long Time for Prosecutions.
Unfortunately for all concerned, ex-
cept those guilty of wrongdoing, the pros

familiar with corporation books of every

for the convictions alone tell the story of

Shatever object Messrs. Woodruff

tigating Mr.. Daugherty's conduct of war

stimulating officers of the department of
Justice to carry on u vigorous prosecution

EGYPT GOVERNMENT
UPHELD BY KILLING

Among royal tombs recently discov-
cred. of the time of the First Dynasty
in Egypt, there was evidence that
many courtiers had been killed off at
one time on the death of the King
save the Detroit News. This was
system of preventing unstable govern
ment, for by making sure of the safe
ty of the King, statesmen made sure
of their own. The result was that
the Kings had very long reigns indeed.
The courtiers who were killed off were
stunned by blow from a sandbag and
then buried. One or two of the vic
Tins, it appeared, had not been very
dexterously dealt with. for the posi-
ton of their unearthed skeletons
strongly suggested that they had
struggled to get out of their graves
after burial
| The tombs were made in rows
some 800 feet long, and were Gov
cred by six feet of sand and rubbish
Very little stone work was found, ow
ing to the plundering that had gone
on in the past, but a number of fine
alabaster jars were unearthed. There
were also found 60 or 20 skeletons
and 80 skulls. In most cases the body
had been buried with the knees drawn

RoGrs Heard In Seasheus
Are Caused By Air Waves

The sounds one hears in the sea-
she'll are really air waves or sounds
made by air waves, because all sounds
are produced by air waves says the
Detroit News.
The reason one can hear these
sounds in seashell is because the
she'll is so constructed that it forms
a natural sounding box. The wooden
part of guitar, either or violin is a
sounding box They have the faculty
of picking up the sounds and making
them stronger. They are called ''res-
orators" because they make sounds
resound.
The construction of seashell
makes an almost perfect resonator. A
perfect resonator will pick up sounds
which the human ear can not hear at
all and magnify them so that if one
holds resonator to the ear he can
hear sounds he could not otherwise
hear. Ear trumpets for the deaf are
built on this principle.

HAITI EXPECTS CROP
OF COFFEE TO BEAT
ALL PAST RECORDS

ST. MARC, HAITI, Nov. There
are indications in plenty here that the
coffee crop which is now being picked
and shipped viii be the largest export
ed from Haiti in all her history. st.
Marc is the center Of the coffee grow
ing country, and already the roads and
trails are pouring in flood Of the ar
omatic berries that find such high "a
vor in Western Europe. Since the ex-
port tax on coffee produces a little
more than one-third of the govern
ment's entire revenue, and the coffee
exports average two-thirds of all Hal
it's export trade, the importance of
this record breaking crop can be ap-
preciated.
At the peak of the French regime
in Haiti a crop Of 74,000, 900 pounds
was exported to Europe in 1891. Thir-
ty years later it had dwindled to 29,-
100000 pounds as a result OF neglect
and the incessant civil wars following
Haiti's independence in 1903. Under
Haitian rule it finally climbed in 1880
to 100000 pounds, but the produc-
ton was again at low ebb when the
United States interviewed in 1915.
Three years later, when American
troops had restored order in the
island, it reached a total of S0,O00.00
pounds, of $16,560,O0O declared value,
and that year the crop paid 40 per
cent of Haiti's entire revenue.
9 Cents Pound
The present crop, however. is des-
tined to exceed all previous French,
Haitian and American occupation fig
ures, and the average price to the peas
ant will be nine cents a pound. Prac-
oil - Al -
for distribution through France, Bel
GUM, Holland. Germany and Austria,
Where it is used in small lots as a
grading coffee.
1t is worthy OF note that practically
not a dollar of the millions that the
new crop will bring to Haiti will go
into the pocket Of single American,
for the coffee industry in Haiti Is
wholly in the hands of Haitians. a few
French, and small number of men
of mixed blood
There is not single cultivated plan
tation in Haiti. The berries grow
semi-wild from the old French days,
requiring no irrigation and receiving
practically no care. Coffee experts
hold that through the Incidence and ig-
norance Of the peasants, fully one-half
of the average crop is not picked. With
attention to shading and pruning, and
with reasonable diligence, the coming
bumper crop could certainly be quad
rupled, they aver. The coming revis-
ion of the Haitian tariff that will ma
terially reduce or eliminate the pres
ent export tax Of three cents per
pound will materially increase the
profits Of the peasant, and with the ex-
tension of the roads and trails made
possible by the Haitian loan, coffee
prospects are considered very good in
deed
While Haitian coffee has not as yet
gained foothold in the United States
its distinctive aroma and strength have
outstripped all competition in West
ern Europe.
