Keller Very Emphatic
nj Expressing His
Opinions
WAS DRAMATIC CLIMAX
Says Samuel Untermyer
Urged Him to Take
Action
(By Associated Pressl

Washington, Dec. 15.-Character-
izing the proceedin gbefore the house
judiciary committee as "a bare-faced
attempt to whitewash Harry M.
Daugherty,' Representative Keller,
of Minnesota, has refused to assist
further in the presentation before
that committee of his impeachment
charges against the attorney general.
Voting to go on with the hearings
despite Mr.. Keller's withdrawal, the
committee planned to put him under
oath today and call upon him to give
all the information upon which he
based his charges of "high crimes
and misdemeanors" against Mr..
Daugherty.
Mr.. Keller's refusal to assist fur
ther in the proceedings came late
Yesterday as dramatic climax to the
third day of the hearings. He had
prepared a statement to read to the
committee, but he never got the op-
portunity. Several members wanted
him put under oath, while others
wanted to know if it was his purpose
to lecture" the committee.
Refusing to be put under oath,
Mr.. Keller replied to the inquiries
that he might lecture" the members.
To that he added demands that he
be heard. Chairman Volstead re-
peatedly broke into the general house
hubbub ordering Mr.. Keller to sit
down. And informed him that he
could not "bully-rag" the committee.
Advancing to the chairman's place
at the bend of the horseshoe-shaped
rail behind which the committeeman
sat, Mr.. Keller threw his prepared
statement in front of Mr.. Volstead
md dramatically announced that if
ne could not read it to the commit
zee he was through with the proceed
ngs. Then he stalked from the COM
nittee room, which had been thrown
nto an uproar.
Meantime Chairman Volstead had
'rdered the clerk to issue subpoe-
lac for Mr.. Keller so that he might
'e placed under oath and questioned.
The summons later was served on
Mr.. Keller in his office, where he
vas preparing to give the newspaper
correspondents copies of the state

ACTION Of TURKEY
ADDS STRENGTH TO
Of NATIONS
Diplomats Now Believe
Turkey Thoroughly
Sincere
IMPORTANT ACTION
Demand Is For Western
Culture and More
Territory
(By Associated Prensl

Lausanne, Dec. 15-Europcan Dip
lcmats gathered here believe that
the admission of Turkey to the
league of nations will impart new
yigor and new meaning to that Or
ganization. From the beginning of
the Near East conference the Tur-
kish leaders have stressed their de-
sire to westernize their country; and
European statesmen are convinced
that wholehearted cooperation by
Turkey in the leagues affairs would
prove an important step in the main
tenance of general peace.
The thoroughly occidental aspect
of the majority of the Turkish dele
gates has impressed everyone atten-
ding the conference. Some men,
bers of the delegation remain loyal
to the Fez, but generally speaking
the men from Angora and Constan-
tlnople present an appearance as
smartly western as that of any of
the European diplomats. Several of
the Turkish delegates are here with
their wives, who are fashionably
gowned in the latest Partisan modes
A foreigner who engages a Turk
in conversation will learn sooner or
later during their chat that Turkey
first of all wants complete sover-
eighty over the Ottoman territory
and that secondly she seeks western
culture.
If she joind the league, which
step Ismet Pasha yesterday said she
would seek to take if peace was
signed here, Turkey can walk into
Europe by the front door and make
herself at home.

Harding Asked to Take
Decisive Steps in the
Matter
ARE ALARMING
Competitive Building Is
Sought To Be
Checked
lRY Assncinted pressl

Washington, Dec. 15--A tabula-
tion obtained today in naval circles
showing the relative positions of the
British, American and japanese ma
vies in the cruiser and submarine
strength, apparently shed light on
the situation which led the house
appropriations committee to propose
tha Presiden Harding negotiate and
international agreement to check
competitive building in these types.
Figures credit Great Britain with
As light cruisers of the first line,
built, building or projected, and ag-
gregating 206,4S0 tons, the United
States with ten ships building, 75,-
600 tons, and Japan WITH eleven
ships built and 21 building and pro-
jected, aggregating 191 ,450 tons. In
addition the, list shows Great Bri-
tain to have 13 light cruisers of the
second line, 69,230 tons, neither the
United States nor Japan being cred
tied with any ships in this classifi-
cation.
In fleet submarines Great Britain
is credited with six of the first line,
1,2S0 tons, six of the second line,
7 200 tons, and two buildings or pro-
jected, $500 tons; the United States
with three of the frs line, built,
1918 tons, none of the second line,
three building 6,375 tons and six ad-
ditonal authorized but not under
contract; Japan with no fleet sub
marines built but three under con-
struction, $500 tons.

scription, horse drawn vehicles and
even trucks, all bound for the Will

Washington, Dec. 15.-Represent-
ative Keller failed today to appear
before the house judiciary committee
in response to a formal summons.

Whether the committee will under
take to compel his appearance or hale

FULL SCHOOL TERM
WITH BETTER WAGE
URGE OF kIWAN|ANS.
Funds Must Be Secured
To Fulfill the Past
Promises

Funds must be secured in. some
manner to keep the pledges made by
the Kiwanis a year ago, when it was
promised the teachers that should
they return to Palatka he club would
see to it that their salaries suffered
no more han en- percent reduction
That was the decision reached at
the last luncheon of the Kiwanis
Every member attending was sin
cere in his declaration that certain
conditions must be fulfilled in order
to have a full term of school for the
Putnam high and in order that the
teachers might have the pay to
which they are entitled.
In 1921 the salaries of the teach
ers in the Palatka schools were re-
duced some twenty-five percent be-
cause of a lack of funds. The COM
munity, as we'll as the Kiwanis
Club, realizing the deserving char
acter of the faculty, at that time
promised if the eachers would re-
turn to Palatka another year and
take up the work that at least a
portion of the amount that was
Topped off should be restored. This
has not been done-nor can it be
done under the existing conditions.
In the high school there are six
teachers who now receive $19 a
week-and one who receives 500.
In the grammar department ton the
eight months term, two teachers
will receive $40 each per week if the
present salaries are continued five
are based at $11; four at $12; two at
$3.50; two at $13; and one each at
$3.50, $14.50, and SIS. Under ex-
isting conditions six teachers in the
high school receive $19, and one is
paid $50. The situation is not very
pleasing to the public, and the XII
wanians declare that Something
must be done" to relieve it.
Mr.. ]. R. Mellon deplores the con-
1itions, and the lack of remedial ac-
tion to relieve it. He stands ready |
10 contribute five hundred dollars if |
that sum shall be needed to help in
;he work, but he makes the proviso
hat patrons of the school shall show |
heir interest by pledging support. |
Efforts have been made to secure !!
he funds needed, but each attempt |
las been declared a failure-and !
many have lost enthusiasm. When
t is considered that this year is the !,
asst when there will have to be spe-
.ial action taken in this regard, be-
.ause of the powers which will lie
With the whole people in each dis
1rict, the Kiwanis believe there |
should be no cessation in the work |
If securing these funds,
No decided plan of action has thus
ar been determined by the Kiwa-
lians.

"SMILlN' THROUGH" AT REX
THEATER AGAIN TONIGHT

It may sound rather routine to
say that Norma Talmadge has scored
another screen success in her latest
starring vehicle, "Smilin' Through"
the First National attraction which
began an engagement at the Rex
theater last night.
And so we must 60 little further
and say that "omilin' Through is
positively the best thing That Norma
has yet done for the silent drama.
More than that, it is magnificent
dramatic production in every re-
spect. It is a new classic of the
screen.
Wyndham Standing as John Car
teret, and Harrison Ford, as, Ken
meth Wayne and jeremiah Wayne,
give magnificent support to Miss
Talmadge. The remainder of the
cast including Alec B. Francis,
Glenn Hunter, Grace Griswold, Mir
lam Battista and Eugene Lockhart
also do fine work.
Much credit Of course is due to
the efforts of Sidney Franklin, whose
skilful direction is apparent through
out the screening OF "Smilin'
Through"
