Washington. Dec. 16.-What action
should be taken as result of the re-
fusal of Representative Keller to ap-
pear and testify as to his impeach-

eral Daughterty will be considered
Monday by the judiciary committee.
For a second time today Mr.. Keller
failed to personally respond to a for
ma. subpoena served on him after
his dramatic withdrawal Thursday
from further participation before the
committee. Some members wanted
to transfer the case to the house i'm
mediately with a view to contempt
proceedings there, but others were
not so certain that the committee
had authority to do so, since Mr..
Keller had served formal notice
through his counsel that he stood on
his rights as a member of the house,
1t was his position that the commit
tee clearly had exceeded its constitu-
tional powers in issuing the subpoe-
ma, which, it was contended, carried
back of it the threat that if he did not
appear he would be cited for con-
tempt
At the same time the committee
voted to resume hearings on the i'm
peachment charges next Tuesday
Witnesses will include Representa-
tives Woodruff of Michigan, and
johnson of South Dakota, republicans,
who have attacked the attorney gen.
eral in the house for alleged failure
to prosecute war fraud cases vigor-
ously. 1t also was stated that the
would examine officials of
the department of justice who had
handled cases cited in Mr.. Keller's
specifications against the attorney
general.
